WHEAT is 1000 YEARS OLD
Came From Ruins in Egypt, But 10
Kept in Texas In Hermetically-
Sealed Jar.

Dallas, Tex.-When the late John
Cardwell Of Austin was United States
consul at Cairo, Egypt, he sent to his
old friend, Col. F. P. Holland OF Dali
las. a small quantity Of wheat that he
had taken from the tomb Of one Of the
ancient kings in newly-explored ruins
upon the banks of the Nile. -.
This wheat was known to be more
than four thousand years old. The
glass container which holds the grain
is Theoretically sealed. To all out
ward appearances the wheat is just as
sound as the day it was fayed from
the head in the long ago, when the
earth was inhabited by civilization

So antagonistic to- all that modern
civilization means were the ancient
custom and lore of the American In
dams that like their believers they
have fast disappeared-have almost
passed out of the memory of modern
man. Some Of the customs, however,
are SO beautiful that at infrequent In
tervals they are revived and one such
resurrection of the lore OF the dead
past bids fair to become q society fad
in the near future. It was an ancient
tribal custom among certain OF the
American aborigines that all maidens
should wear single feather OF the
eagle as part Of their headdress. A
very Impressive ceremony at the time

OF this symbol of girlhood. The pic
