Several motor bicycles are used by

in Lagos in connection with the re-
moval of trade goods from the ware
houses to merchants premises and to
the railway. while much remains to be
done to bring about a more general

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

When a child sulks drowsily, or Is
fretful, It is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and
mild laxative is very often all that Is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy Of spirits.
In cases where the use Of gentle,
effective laxative stimUlant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caidwelps Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy TO regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case Of children, a dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
DR.. CaldweIl's syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in SOC and

this splendid remedy. write to DR.. w.

MONEY THAT WENT BEGGING
One of the Most Curious Cases IN the
History Of the chancery
Courts.

Perhaps there is no more curious
chapter in the history Of the chan
Gerry courts than that Of two Pitts
burgh men. The first had a claim to
a small estate abroad, but he did not
have the money to pay the claim
agency to make search. So he got a
friend to back him. This friends
name was Peterman, and the money
he advanced was like grubstake-he
was gambling on his friends claim
proving up. One day, when Peterman
was at the claim-agency Office, he
came upon this advertisement in the
agency files; "Peterman (Albertus),
musician, born in Amsterdam, 1929.
son of Charles Frederick and Henri
eta Suzanna Gasman. Left for Liver.
pool. 1856. He is sought for inheri-
lance by M. Contot, advocat, Fl Bou-
levard st. Germain, Paris" That was
the inception Of the famous "Kinsey
docks" case, the name coming from
the fact that the original Peterman
was last seen at the Kinsey docks in
Liverpool. The claim agency took the
matter in hand. traced Peterman's lin
cage back, and enabled him to estab-
iish a good claim to an inheritance OF
100000. That was case of fortune
being thrust upon a man.-Lewis Ed

PRETTIEsr BIRD IN WORLD
ouexal of South Guatemala Takes
Beauty Prize Among Feathered

What Is considered the most beauti-

Guatemala. Until within the last few
years 1t was unknown to science,
among the feathered creatures, de-
lighting in the silence of high alti-
tudes. II dwells on mountain heights
above 1000 feet In elevation.
The quezal was the royal bird OF
the ancient Aztecs, and its plumes
we're used 10 decorate the head.
dresses and cloaks of their kings. The
quezal's breast is brilliant scarlet,
while its green tail attains a length
of three feet. It is about the size OF
the common pigeon. 1t nests In holes
in rotten trees, which it enlarges with
its bill, so as to make a roomy and
comfortable residence. The young
are Matched totally devoid OF feathers
1t is the hardest Of all birds to pre-
pare for mounting, for its skin is as
tender as so much tissue paper. and
the feathers are implanted to such a
slight depth that they readily fall out
A specimen is very apt to be spoiled
by falling against branch of a tree
on being shot
Up to 1860, naturalists did not know
where the quezal was to be found
The few specimens which had fallen
into their hands had been obtained
from Indians, who kept the secret
About that time, however, collector

Of the birds and went up into the
mountains, where he shot number Of
them. In ancient times the skins Of
all birds of this species belonged tt
the king, and none but members Of the
royal family were allowed to wear the
feathers.
The quezal belongs to the family o.

or courtyards, much as one would
pitch tents around campfires.
Comparing the buildings Of the
Chinese with those Of the ancient
Egyptians We find that Chinese archi-
lecture is weakest in that quality
which the Egyptian buildings pos
sessed in the highest degree. namely.
stability. The buildings OF the
Egyptians we're satisfying and rest
full to look upon because they had
the appearance of being built to stand
till doomsday. Those OF the Chinese,
on the contrary. seem to have been
built for one generation only.
The Greeks were the first people to
produce a type OF architecture which
combined delicacy of design and sta
bility in such a way as to secure a
maximum quality.
The quality Of purity. for which the
Greek architecture has been so much
praised, Is also characteristic of the
Chinese. The buildings Of the Chi
nese display no unnecessary or exotic
features. They are true to themselves
and have borrowed no elements from
other styles.
The roof, with it's graceful curves.
is the most beautiful part Of a Chi
mes house. In fact. besides the Jap
anese. who have learned from them,
the Chinese are the only people who
build beautiful roofs. Following out
the theory that one cannot have too
much of good thing. they often or
nament their buildings with several
roofs, one above the other, thus pro
ducing a very beautiful effect.

ECZEMA DIsFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfigured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night. his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Jhi-
cago, where we resided at that time
After trying all the medicine OF the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean az
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has q

Ideas Were Not Borrowed-Basls of
Construction, Both External and
Internal, Is That of the
Nomad's Tent.

Pekin, China.-Isolated from other
nations by geographical barriers, such
as seas, deserts and mountains
ranges, the Chinese developed a civ
ilization which was entirely their own.
Their customs, arts and sciences were
indigenous and original. They Dor
rowed little or nothing from other PEG
pies. but built upon their own founda-
lions. The architecture Of the Chi
nese is typical of the originality OF
their civilization; it contains no Dor
rowed elements. no exotic features
The Chinese house exhibits certain
features which can be traced directly
back to the tents of the barbarian an
cestors of the Chinese, who wandered
into China from the west. The roof
OF Chinese house, though made of
rafters and tiles, still retains the
shape OF a tent. It hangs in graceful
curves and is caught up at the cor
ners like canvas. 1t does not rest
upon the walls of the house, but upon
wooden pillars, which are placed In
the same position as the poles of a
tent. The process OF construction re-
minds one of the erection OF tent;
the pillars and the roof are erected
first and the walls are filled in after
ward.
II Is not only externally but inter
nally that the Chinese house reminds
one of tent. There is no ceiling to
hide the inner surface of the sloping
roof and its supporting rafters. In
stead Of a wooden floor there is only
a layer OF bricks to cover the cold
earth. The brick floor is covered with
mats and rugs. which also remind one
