however. 1t is in one of the out-of-
way places of the world and very lit
tie is known by the general public
about it. The superstitious French
fishermen, unchanged in a hundred
and fifty years, still await the return
OF the fierce pilot to claim his own.
The Rock of Perez, named for the
adjacent fishing village, is one of the
true natural wonders of our continent.
When some CONFUSION of nature rent
the coast this rock was split from the
nearby mountain and left standing, a
grim monument to the caprice of the
gods of sea and land. Several hun.
dred feet high, with comparatively
nat top, it's sides are beetling and one
side is about two hundred feet higher
than the other Once it was pierced
by three arches through any one of
which small ship might sail, but now
one Of these has collapsed, leaving
only the two huge galleries.
Captain Duval was a French priva-
teer who returned only a small por-
ton OF his loot from English and 9TH
er ships to the French authorities.
and after the declaration of peace he
became an out-and-out pirate. He
protected the French fishermen and
was generous with them. They, in
their turn, protected him as the Eng
fish peasant protected Dick Turpin.
At last he was hard pressed by the
English, and having in his service a
Micmac Indian who knew secret
trail to the supposedly inaccessible
Rock of Perez, he collected all his
caches Of treasure in the maritime
provinces and brought them to Perez.
The Indian carried line to the top
of the rock and hauled up block and
fall Then two prisoners were hauled
up, and next Duval himself Boats
containing the great treasure chests
stood by below.
The tradition is that they were a
day ano a moonlight night getting it
all up. Then the Indian was sent
down and Duval himself was lowered
away. His rapier was dripping with

Butler was killed, the raiders driven
away and the spells await present-day

While there is some doubt as to au-
thenticity, there is said to be a $751;
100000 cache of Spanish doublons,
buried by Captain Kidd, on Esopus
Island in the Hudson river, not far
from New York City, while at the very
gate of New York is forgotten treas
ure of many hundreds of thousands.
This famous treasure was lost when
the British frigate Hesarar, pay ship
sent in for the British soldiers during
the revolutionary war, went down in
the East river. It will be easy to look
up the old Admiralty records and get
the full information that may lead to
the finding of the treasure.

spending his ill-gotten wealth and
boarded 1t somewhere. At last he was
captured and before his execution at

been kind to him that he had sacks of
gold and silver and jewels buried in a
spot on Storm King Mountain, Just

The American Bible society has
been operating 16 years and in that
time has issued 94,219.1O5 volumes,
says the New York Times. Nearly a
half million more bibles were sold
and given away during the last twelve
months than the year previous. The
budget of the society for this year
will amount to 100000 The last re-
port of the society intimates that the
American people are not contributing
as literally as they should for the pur-
pose of disseminating the Holy Scrip
lures. The demand for bibles is in
creasing instead of diminishing and
recent statistics show that it is still
the worlds best seller. However,
there's lot of dust on some family
bibles resting on the center table of
the parlor.

The average individual who looks
about him, particularly the individual
who has had an opportunity to OBJ
serve to what a small class the con-
sumption of "luxuries" is restricted in
European countries, can hardly fail
to conclude that practically our entire
population is interested, in one way or
another. in the annual importation OF
luxuries. This is only another way
OF saying that the standard of living
is, on the whole, vastly higher in this
country than anywhere in the whole
European world-that the average
American demands and receives COM
forts and conveniences which the av-
erage European can seldom hope to
gain. In brief, it calls attention to
an indisputable fact which the preach
ers of discomfort among US are only.
too ready and anxious to neglect. Vol:
taire wittily defined "the superfluous"
as 'the thing SO necessary" In view
of the high standard of living in this
country, even in dull times, "the ne
cessary" may aptly be defined, for
Americans, as "a matter of course, ;"
the luxury as ''the necessity" and
''the wildly extravaganza" as "the lux
urious."

he stood up, and with harquebus
shot at the tackle till it was cut clean,
too high up the rocks for any one to
reach. Devil Duval" sailed away and
never returned.
For years the winds battered and
the sun and rains rotted the ropes on
the walls of the rock till at last they
disappeared. So many lives were lost
in attempts to scale the rocks and re-
cover the treasure that law was
passed forbidding any one to make
the attempt without the necessary le-
galized concession from the governor o.
the province of Quebec. Only the wild
sea-birds, making their nests in the
top Of the rock, know the story of the
two prisoners and the chests of treas
ure on the bleak heights. But an air
ship could learn it.
Carleton Island, in the st. Lawrence
river, was an Quitting place for Tory
raiding parties and an arsenal was e.
tablished there. A pay chest was sent
to the post with large sum of money.
The chest disappeared and it's loss was
reported to General Haldimand at
Montreal. In 1879, Colonel Horn of
Cape st. Vincent, received a visit from
a stranger, who requested the use Of
a boat and, being granted it, he rowed
to Carleton Island and returned in q
short time with a heavy iron chest
covered with clinging wet clay. Col

helped the man row to the steamboat
landing and he was never heard from
again. In a few days William Majo,
one of the owners of the island, sent
boy into the pine thicket for stray
ing horses and there the lad found
the .fat-stone lined hole where the
chest had rested.
There are two extensive areas OF
buried treasure In the thick1y popu-
lated parts of the United States. One,
the lesser, is on the general lines Of
Shefman's march to the sea. North
and south of it, plantation after plan
tation, town after town, have their
stories of treasures ranging from a
few hundreds of dollars to hundreds
of thousands which were buried for
fear the Union army would get them
Many were never recovered because
Of the failure of the owners to locate
the burial places. The surest way to

The sudden turning of the tide found
the Tories in possession of a great
quantity of gold coin, gold and silver

At Sound Beach, Conn, lives Mrs
Jane Louden, 101 years OF age. Her

treasure. The property known as the
Burdick Farm, having been bought by
Henry F. Burdick in 1850, was the
site. In 1904 a tenant named Cheese

reason of design and quality the re-

followed for possession made the case
famous. Where is the remainder OF
the treasure?
Joel Coryell, sexton at Romulus, n.

quantity of money in an old pot. The
grave belonged to Thomas Mann, but
Coryell kept the gold.
Walter Butler, the notorious Mo

ley at the end Of the war with force
of Tories and Indians to dig up the
treasures he had buried and those that
had been buried by other wealthy
Tories who had told him where to re-
cover it in their behalf. When he had

A Japanese who lives in New York
has theory that gold fish of the kind
caught in Morris Canal basin can be
successfully used to kill on Jersey
mosquitoes. The fish loves the lar
vac of the stinger, declares the Jap,
and will eat all he can get. This
looks like an oriental dream. The
Jersey bitter breeds in the Jersey
swamps, and there the gold fish can
not live. In fact, there is reason to
believe that nothing can kill the ami
NAL except an axe or stroke of
lightning Gold fish will never do.

The archives of the Spanish admir-

the true key to the treasure trove can
best be found by searching the family
papers of the man who fed. He never
returned, but without doubt he left
the valuable information to his heirs.

Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant

the United States. There are scores
of families in this vicinity who will
not be without it in the house and
who would not think of starting on a
trip without bottle of it.
Dr. Bruce has sold so much Dod-
