The present situation is very dangerous,

First Picture Postal Cards In 1870.

In Nuremberg they have been max

thirtieth anniversary of the picture
postal card with a congress and ex-

covered that the first picture postal

Skinner's Good-BY

The captain of one of the crack"
American liners used to say that his
wife was always the last person he
spoke to on leaving port and the first
on returning. In sense, though not
in the one understood by most of
those who heard him make the state
ment, this was perfectly true, says
the Liverpool Mercury. His house
was on the banks of the Mersey, and
he never passed ii without speaking
1t by means of the ships whistle. For
the occasions he had special code,
which none of the crew, who all knew
of the practice, could understand. One
has under his control powerful siren,
on which he blows three terrific walls
as signal to his wife. At night they
are sufficient to wake her from her
first sleep. Another captain, who re.
tired not long since, had certain
whistle for goodby when he was drop,
ping down the Mersey, and another
for "all well' as he was coming up
and he invariably blew one or the
other when passing a point to which
his thoughts often turned when he
was on the trackless deep. Both ot
these signals were well understood
hot only by his wife and children. but
By many Of his friends.

The RaapIeker Bird.

The trumpeter bird is the ragpicker
of the woods and swamps Of Guiana,
where he is always at work at his
trade, with his stomach for pack
and his bill for hook. He performs
useful but most extraordinary serv-
Ice, devouring a perfect multitude of
snakes, frogs, scorpions, spiders, liz.
ards, and the like creatures. But this
terrible bird can be made perfectly
tame. On the Guiana plantations he
may be seen fraternizing with the
ducks and turkeys, accompanying
them in their walks, defending them
from their enemies, separating quar-
elers with the strokes of his bill, sus
tanning the young and the feeble and
waking the echoes with his trumpet
while he brings home his flocks al
night. The trumpeter is as handsome
as he is useful. Noble and naughty
in aspect, he raises himself up on his
long, yellow gathered legs and seems
to say, 81 am the trumpeter, the
scourge of the reptile, and the protec
tor of the fiocks."

FOUND A SACRED LAKE
GOLDEN oRNAM ENTs RECOVERED
FROM oUATAVITA SHOWN.
Treasures That Were Thrown Into the
Water by Indians of Colombia, In
Their Religious Rites, Before
the Spanish Conquest.


Scores of antiquarians and others
interested in the races that inhabit-
ed the American continent before the
coming of the white man visited the
assembly room at the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel to see the relics recently taken
from the sacred lake of Guatavita,
near Bogota, Colombia, and brought to
New York by Mr.. Hartley Knowles
Of London, the New York Herald re-
ports.
The story of the finding of the rel
les, which consist of gold ornaments,
emeralds and pottery, reads like a
romance. Ever since the Spaniards
conquered the Indian race that in
habited the fertile plateau in Colon
bia efforts have been made to re-
cover treasures sunk in the lake each
year by the Indians as a religious
rite. Spaniards undertook the task,
but draining the lake was too difficult
for them. Another determined at
tempt was made in 1923 by Capt
Charles Stuart Cochrane, an English
man, but ii ended in failure. In 1900
q British corporation was formed, and
It tunneled the mountains and drained
| the lake. 1t has now begun to mine
/ the relics buried deep in the mud.
Lake Guatayita is almost in the GEN.
/ ter of the Great Andean plateau that
was the home Of the Chibch kingdom,
composed of Indians who lived by ag-
| riculture and who had a civilized form
| of government. One of their cities,
Usaquen, is said to have had more
than a million inhabitants.
The Chibchas paid homage to two
gods. The sun was the beneficent
| deity. and the antithesis of the sun or
evil spirit they believed was a huge
serpent, which lived in the center of
lake Guatavita and which when an
gered brought storms, drought and all
the other evils which sometimes af-
f, fict an agricultural population. There
fore, though they hated the serpent,
I they pretended to worship him and
sought to propitiate his wrath by
gifts
/ Four temples to the serpent stood
on the bank of the lake, which was
only a mile across, but very deep.
Once a year great feast was given
the serpent devil The chief cere-
mOny consisted of casting gold or
naments and other precious objects
into the center of the lake, where
the god could get them. The exact
center was found by stretching two
hide ropes in the form of cross, from
the four temples Rats were then
propelled toward the center of the
lake, amid the din of musical instru-
ments and the cheering of the multi
tude. One raft was occupied by the
ruler. whose body was covered with
gold dust. When the precious objects
were dumped overheard the ruler him
self jumped into the lake and washed
of the gold.
The first Spaniards to visit the coun-
try witnessed these ceremonies, and
the practice gave rise to the Spanish
legend of FL Dorado.

AK is in southern France, near the

GO EASY ON HEALTH FADs
Trouble Is That They Cannot Be
Made to Suit the Physical Make
Up of All People.

Cleveland Is the home of the new
est fad. The Ohio city has a Keep
Well" club composed of persons who
believe in restricting indulgence in
food. They fast now and then from
week to a month. One apostle of
the cult declares he has found abound
ing health in a diet of eight quarts Of
milk daily for eight months.
It may be that this foodless life is
benefrial TO some Clevelanders. 1t is
probably also true that many people
In other cities-perhaps even some In
Detroit-eat too much, particularly in
the summer time. But it is equally
probable that many imitators of the
cult will starVe themselves beyond
the endurance point of weak hearts
and so commit virtual suicide.
II is Just at this point that so many
health, beauty, and nostrum fads be
come so deadly and so damaging.
Every well-informed person knows
that wise medical practitioner when
called to attend a sufferer. must try
TO adjust his remedies to the physical
powers and idiosyncrasies of the pa
tient. The remedy which acted like
magic in the case of Jones who had

ally dangerous to Smith. owing to
some disturbance of Smiths digestion,
weakness of his heart, or what not.
