Traces Origin of Kztecs.

According to w. d. Westervelt, OF
Honolulu, an admitted authority on
Polynesian archaeology, the civiliza-
ton of the Toltecs and Aztecs of
Mexico is not directly connected with
that of ancient Egypt, but had its orr
gin with the Polynesians of the Pa
cific, He is of the opinion that the
effort to establish connection between
ancient Mexico and old Egypt is an
error, and cannot but lead to confu-
sion.
Mr.. Westervelt visited and careful
ly examined many Of the Aztec ruins
in the vicinity of the City of Mexico,
and is convinced that what he saw is
the work Of people who had been UNI
der the influence of Polynesian civlli-
zation,--Washington Herald.

IS DEEP BREATH
ING BENEFICIAL?
. esSe0SOSsosoasee0 S0esss

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, in Outing,
questions it, He says on this point:
Another fad of physical culture
which, though beneficial in modera-
ton, falls far short OF the claims
made for 1t, is deep breathing. Air
is, of course, the breath of life, and
as this breath of life is eaten with
the chest, the larger and more SUI
perbly expanded chest you have, the
more life you get; so runs our popu-
lar logic. Moreover, it can be DEM
onstrated easily that when you have
been cramped up over desk or book
for hours, 1t is an inspiring and ex-
hilarating thing to stand erect. throw
back your shoulders, and draw three
or four big, deep breaths. Ergo; il
little of this pouter pigeon perform
ance is good, more of it must be bet
ter"

THOSE BIG HATS AGAIN.

Huge hats worn by women are still
causing difficulties in theatres. In
London and in New York City women
are wearing hats that are almost a
yard wide, Their appearance in play
houses have led to more than one
legal controversy. One of the latest
has arisen in London, where two
women wearing especially large hats
entered a theatre. Because a man
shouted to them, Remove those
ridiculous hats!" they refused to take
them off, as they had planned to do,
and were barred from the playhouse.
They have preferred a charge of as
sault against the manager, and the
decision Of the court is expected to
have an interesting bearing on big
hats.-New York Press.

CON" AND "OFF."

Mrs. Siddons was, on and off the
stage, two different persons. On the
stage she was a pythoness, nightly
hypnotized into passionate emotions
by the sight Of the drop curtain and
the boards. At her home she,was, at
all events to the casual observer, more
than n thought too much a mere
mother and British matron, loving to
be seemly and of good report, shut in
the tower Of an unimaginative nature.
Had she not been an actress, she
would have made (such an observer
might have said an ideal bishops
lady. Barchester would have been
glad of her.-Home Notes.

ESCORTS FOR NEWLY WEBS.

ESCORTS FOR NEWLY WEBS.
Though it has been said the we'd
ding tour is hopelessly out of date
and that one has to read Howells to
know that there ever was one, this
isn't such prosy old world after all,
for an observer Of the ways of the
elect says the latest idea is for the
best man to provide tickets for the
entire bridal party to accompany the
happy pair on the first stages of the
wedding trip. The maid of honor has
her share of the work, for it is up
to" her to fill the car with flowers
until 1t looks like a travelling con-
servatory. AS one bride expressed
it, 1.-THE best Of 1t is, the flowers are
sometimes fruit" When Miss Aspin-
wall, of Washington, became the
bride of Lieutenant Comfy, OF the
artillery, a dozen or more warriors
escorted her to the bridal train,
where her maids were awaiting her
with offerings, This sounds agree
able, but 1t takes a best man with a
well-f1lled purse. What do you ex-
pect? Again we see the pleasant
things are all for the rich," said a
pessimistic young man, who had to
decline the honor of being best man
at the wedding of friend last week.

town boosted attended the singer and
the wanderer through long months of
illness, and from the sick mans NUT
terings the doctor gathered a story.
One glorious June morning when
little Lake Myriad was sparkling in
the sunlight, DR., Morse took his two
patients TO a spacious grape-arbor
overlooking the lake, He seated him
self quietly and held the woman's
hand in his, speaking solemnly.
Madeline, my dear, some years
ago--you were the handsomest lass
for miles 'round--you married rich
Major Hepworth. A son was born to
you. Before he was two years old
that son was stolen. You searched
for five years, but no trace of him
could be found. At the end Of that
time your husband died; then YOU
went mad. Yes, do not shudder, for
your recent illness has banished that
fearful malady forever. But even in
your madness YOU cherished the hope
that you would some day find your
boy. That hope has kept you alive
and young, even in your demented
state, these long years. Not a hair
wrinkle spoiled your lovely face, and
YOU retained your wonderful voice,
but you became blind Blindness was
hereditary in your family, but your
mental distress brought ii on prema-
turely and I fear you will never re-
gain your sight, Several times you
have slipped out in your night robes
and been found singing by the lake
at midnight. One night, not long
ago, you went"

sprang forward to reach for him and
l fell into the lake. Yes, doctor, I
remember, and do you know,

only he had grown a mani"
Mother" The strangers voice
was an uttered prayer.
Speak! Speak! Do I hear my
son?"
yes, mother, for you are my
mother-listen! Ever since I was q
little child, your face has been
stamped on my memory; always
hear the lullaby you sang on the night
you nearly drowned. You must have
crooned it to me when / was a mere
babe! I spoke of these child-like
fancies, as l thought they were, to
my guardian, but he laughed them
away, telling me they were only
whims. Several years ago he died,
having confessed TO me that he was
not my father as he had made me be-
lieve, but that Major Hepworth was
my father, and that he-my guar
dian - had kidnapped me because he
was jealous Of my fathers promotion
in the army. He could not tell me If
you were living or dead I forgave
him because he had been good to me,
but a great gloom fell upon me,
clouding my young manhood, for,
strangely enough, I feared that you
we're mad. That thought has driven
me to the extremes of terror and dis
sipation till now, at the age of twen-
ty-five, | am an old man, and worn.
But Providence has been merciful at
last and brought me to where you
are."
A long silence followed. The
mother lifted her face TO her sons;
the last hour had seemed to age it,

by an unconscious being who was I'M

in a forlorn breast, had begun to as

The March moon, shining resplen-
dent, revealed the somewhat abject
figure Of man strollng lazily along
the country road His black derby
hat and the unmistaRable modsh cut
or his tweed suit told that he was not
a resident Of Marshyille-only a WISH
tor or wanderer perhaps. His slow
gait and general attitude expressed
gloom and his lonely sojourn at the
late hour Of twelve suggested mystery
or uneasiness of mind.
Suddenly he stood erect, listening.
He raised his head; as he did so, his
hat fell off, and the light of the moon
shone fun upon a very characteristic
countenance that, despite it's lofty
brow and unusual intelligence, be-
trayei a life Of heavy dissipation. At
the present time, every feature eX-
pressed intense emotion; the high,
pale forehead was knitted together in
deep lines of pain; the dark eyes be-
TOOK a cavernous expression and the
sensitive nostrils We're dilated. His
thin, colorless lips were partly opened
as If about to utter a word
All. D. be exclaimed hoarsely ut
Is the blind singer of whom the viii
lage folk talk in whispers! What a
wonderful voice, And why is the
singing at this unearthly hour?"
AS he spoke a tremulous melody
floated to him on the breezes II was
like the tinkling OF silver bells on the
