Traces Origin of Aztecs.

According to w. D. Westervelt, OF
Honolulu, an admitted authority on
Polynesian archaeology, the civiliza-
ton of the Toltecs and Aztecs or
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 un'
der the influence Of Polynesian civili
cation. Washington Herald.

Sooeoeesooesooeoooeoesessa

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 it, 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, 1t can be DEM
onstrated easily that when you have
been cramped up over desk or book
for hours, it is an inspiring and eX-
hilarating thing to stand erect. throw
back your shoulders, and draw three
or four big, deep breaths. Ergo; II
a little of this pouter pigeon perform
ance is good, more of it must be bet

A YOUTHFUL MARTYR.

For fbbing, many a lad, no doubt,
Has felt the sting of hickory sprout.
Eliphnlet Pease, a pleasant youth.
Was birched because he told the truth.
II.
One day, from school Eliphalet came,
And sought his mother, comely dame,
ooh, Mother have YOU heard the news?
As was passing Parson True's,
"Down n ladder, from the top,
Full twenty feet without a stop,
Head over heels. did Parson go,
And landed on the rocks below"
"Alack day" the good housewife cried,
And swiftly to her gossips hied.
And soon throughout the village, all
Had heard the tale of Parson $ fall.
Men dropped their fishing nets and creels;
The women left their spnnng-Wh
The broth was burned within the pot,
BY wives and maids alike forgot.
~
VI.
The rumor grew, as swift it spread,
And declared the Parson dead.
And many tainted from the shock;
For he was loved by all his flock.
VII.
But see! amidst the tumult, where
A form appears, erect and spare. u
The Parsons self. benignant, calm, *
And humming soft, a favorlte psalm! .N
Il
Before the wondering crowd, he halts.
And soon declares the rumor false.
Backward, the story, then they trace,
| Severe and frowning, every face;
! Until. with unexpected ease.
| IT'S brought home to Eliphalet Peasc.
81 did but tell the TRUTH" quoth he,
"The parson was up in tree.
"And down tee ladder, round by round,
| He came until ne reached the ground.
| Head over heels, he came; tbs true;
Pray, tell me, how else would he do!"
XI
Silence ensued that might be felt:
And then the crowd began to melt.
To melt away, with sheepish grin.
| Which didn't save Eliphalet's skin.
For this is when that luckless youth
Was birched because he told the. truth.

The March moon, shining resplen-
dent, revealed the somewhat abject
figure of man strolling lazily along
the country road. His black derby
hat and the unmistakable modish cut
of his tweed suit told that he was not
a resident of Marshville-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 full upon a very characteristic
countenance that, despite its 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 were dilated. His
thin, colorless lips were partly opened
as if about to utter a word.
"Ah!" he exclaimed hoarsely. "1t
is the blind singer of whom the vii
lage folk talk in whispers! What
wonderful voice! And why is the
singing at this unearthly hour?"
AS he spoke tremulous melody
foated to him on the breezes. 1t was
like the tinkling of silver bells on the
water in moonlight, so musical ant
low, and yet it stabbed the heart O
the listener with its unconscious ap
peal for sympathy The strange
clenched his hands; the voice grew
louder and sweeter and more appeal

The only competent doctor the
town boosted attended the singer ana
the wanderer through long months or
illness, and from the sick mans NUT
terings the doctor gathered story.
One glorious June morning when
| little Lake Myriad was sparkling In
| the sunlight, Dr. Morse took his two
patients to a spacious grape-arDor
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 Lope
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 hair
