MONTENEGRO IS ONE OFT

THE QUEEREST LANDS

Former IT. S. Minister Has High Praise for Its Ruler, King Nicholas,

WASHINGTON, Oct. «.—George Higgins Moses, former Tjnited States minister to Greece and Montenegro, in a communication to the national geographic society, describes Montenegro as one of the oldest countries in the world. There the women are the producers, clothes make the man, the king is greater than the ministry, the chamber or the constitution, and a man may be imprisoned for eating hedgehog. A man who is struck may kill the striker, provided it be done at once if he delays he is punished as a murderer.

The writer paints King Nicholas in glowing colors. "In the fifty-four years of his reign he has doubled his territory, added two Adriatic porta to his possessions and has organized ministries, the courts, finance and all the departments of the government," he says. "Where, when hp came to the throne, only a few difficult trails threaded the hills, today a Eplendid network of roads connects all the principal points of the kingdom, and it may be said of Montenegro alone among nations that wherever one may go at all In a wheeled conveyance one may go in an automobile. Nicholas has established posts and telegraphs, so that whereas once a Montenegrin mobilization was effected by stentorian hallooing from peak to peak, Cettinje is now constantly in touch with the outside world. "At the creation," so runs the Montenegrin legend, an angel was sent forth to pick ujp the superfluous atones on the earth's surface. He placed them in a bag which burst as he was flying over Cernagora, one of the loftiest of the Black mountains, and certainly the landscape bears out the tale. European dress has made slight inroads in this part of the world. A Montenegrin's habit is as costly as his purse can buy, and there the apparel proclaims the man. The baggy blue trousers are the same for the king or peasant, as is the gayly colored sash, which holds the Invariable revolver. But from the red jacket and the redingote one connotes whether the wearer be a man of substance and consequence or not. Among *-+he women there are slighter distinctions. "The women engage in the productive pursuits. And yet the man has capacity, and when taken from the bellicose environment of his mountain

Her mother sent for the doctor. When he had gone Marjorie said: "Mamma, am I very ill "No, dear your temperature Is a little over 100, but the doctor thinks you will be better in a day or so."

Great Civilization That Flourished in Mexico Before Discovery of America.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—For centuries Mexico has been the home of many races. Most of us are wont to regard it as the home of only the AztecB, with whose civilization Presoott and the early Spanish chroniclers have made us more or less familiar. The archaeologist and student of reColumbian and prehistoric times, however, knows that there were races, especially in southern Mexico and parts of Central America, whose ancient civilization had no connection with the empire of the Montezumas, and whose wonderful works, long ago fallen into decay and ruin, are now the subjects of scientific research and study. One of the most interesting of the ruined cities bore the name of Chlchentiza, once the "Holy City" of the Mayas, a people of whom Sylvanus G. Morley writes in the Bulletin of the PanAmerican Union. "Long before the discovery of America there flourished in southern Mexico, Guatemala and parts of Honduras a great civilization, which has been called the Maya. In architecture, sculpture and in painting the Mayas excelled. Their priests were astronomers of no mea,n ability, having observed and recorded, without the aid of instruments of precision such as are known to us, the lengths of the soiar and "Venus years, and probably the lengths of the Mercury and Mars years. In addition to this they had developed a calendar system and parfwted a chronology which in some of its characteristics was equal to our own. "But the ancient glory of this people had long since departed when Hernando Cortez first came in contact with them on the coast of Yucatan In 1519," says Mr. Morley. "Their star had set. Their greatest cities had been abandoned and lay in ruins. Even (he memory of the older cities of their culture, such as Peflenque, Copan and Quirlgua, for example, seems to have passed from minds of men, their former existence forgotten. Probably the largest and certainly the most magnificent of the ruined cities which the Spanish conquerors found on their arrival in Yucatan was Chlchenitza, around which, even in its desolation, there still cluster a thousand traditions of former sanctity and splendor. 7 he name is Maya and means "The Mouth of the Wells of the Itzas." "To visit the ancient city now, one jolts for fifteen long and weary -^liles in a two-wtteeled cart drawn by three mules over the roughest kind of a highway imaginable. Finally, when it seems that the limit of physical endurance has been reached, the cart suddenly lurches around a sharp ti rn in the road, and as if by magic the lofty Castillo flashes into view, towering high above the plain and the rest of the city. "This imposing structure, the highest in Yucatan, rises seventy-eight feet above the plain. The pyramid on which the temple stands is 195 feet long1 and covers about an acre of ground. It

is made of nine terraces of faced masonry, each terrace elaborately panelled to relieve the monotony of effect. Up the center of each of its four sides rises a stairway thirty-seven feet wide. These stairways have massive stone balustrades, carved to represent serpents, the heads being at the bases of the stairways and flanking them. "The Castillo would seem to have been the center of the ancient city, ard probably Its chief sanctuary. To the north lies the Sacred Cenote (well) and the causeway leading to it. On the east is a vast group of buildings, colonnades, courts and pyramids, The City of a Thousand Columns,' as some one has picturesquely described it. Due west is the group of structures known as the ball court. To the south for half a mile or more, scattered through the jungles, are pyramids, temples and palaces. The central location of the Castillo with reference to all of these as well as its great size and commanding height, argue strongly that It was the chief sanctuary of the Holy City. In another structure, the 'House of the Tigers,' are found the remnants of several beautiful mural paintings. One of these represents an attack by an enemy on a large city, splendidly executed, and presents perhaps the most remarkable piece of adoriginal painting known to be in existence. The total area covered by the *"uins has been estimated at ten square miles."

AN AUDIENCE WITH THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.

In her letters describing her life in Paris in the 90's, Madame de Heger-mann-Lindencrone tells of an audience which she had in Paris with the Empress Eugenie: "The Empress Eugenie is now here. And fancy! living at this Hotel Continental, right opposite the gardens of the Tuileries. I have not seen her for six years. Baron Petri, who always accompanies her, aqpwered my note asking If I might como to see her, saying that the empress would rccelve me with pleasure. You may imagine my emotion at seeing her again, found her seated at the window facing the Tuileries. How could she bear to be so near her old home? A3 if reading my thoughts, she said: 'You wonder that I camc here to this hotel. It is very sad. There are so many memories. But it seems to bring me nearer mon fils bien aime. I have him always before me My poor Liouie: I can see him as a little boy when he used to drive out In his carriage, always surrounded by the cent gardes'. She told me of the terrible Journey she had made to South Africa. She had wished to gc over the same route that the prince had taken on his way to Zululand. How dreadful it must have been for her! Can one imagine any thing more tragic? Her only child, whom she loved beyond anything in the world, whom she hoped to see on the throne—the future monarch of France—a Napoleon—to be killed by a few Zulus, in a war not in any way connected with France! The empress appeared weighed down with grief nevertheless, she seemed to like to talk to me. I wish I could have heard more, but the arrival of the Princess Mathilde interrupted us and I left."— Harpers' Magazine for October.

FURS GROWN TO ORDER.

Best Pelts Are Produced On Farms Where Animals Are Bred. We no longer have to depend on nature's uncertain chances and the skill of the hunter and trapper for the finest furs. Better pelts than ever came out of the wilderness are now being produced on farms where some of the more valuable far-bearing animals are being successfully bred in captivity. It is hoped that the methods of breeding will some day reach a point where furs of a .particular fineness or with any desired marking can be grown to suit the special wishes of each purchaser.

of the singular success of the ostrich farmer, and the blue fox was the first animal to be scientifically bred tn this way. The results surprised everybody, finer skins being put on the market from the captive animals than had ever been obtained from the wild ones.

There is a curious reason for this. The fur of the blue fox, which is the trade, name for Arctic fox, reaches perfection in the winter time, when it Is the longest. But the wild animal often very inconsiderately spoils his coat by his habit of basking in the midday sun. Not that the sun hurts the fur, but the warmth of the animal's body melts the ice, which speedily freezes again and encloses the tips of the longest hairs, so that when the animal arises these are plucked out and left behind. When kept in the enclosures provided for them on the fur farms, however, the animals do not lose their valuable long hairs.

Attempts are now being made to breed skunk, mink and sable in the same way. Scientists are earnestly in hope that the effort will be successful, for otherwise all three of these animals are doomed to early extinction.— St. Louis Republic.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

FAIL TO YIELD RICHES

Government Expert Says Ore Assays From Six to Fifty-Two Cents a Ton.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—Prospecting for the precious metals has been intermittently carried on for many years in Yell county and elsewhere in Arkansas, and last March reports were received by the United States geological survey that several rich prospects had been located. G. S. Rogers, a geologist of the survey, was detailed to investigate these reports, a.nd by taking reliable samples for assay to determine the probable importance of the "strike." His report indicates that none of the prospects is of economic importance, and that while small pockets of ore may possibly he found In this region there is littl3 chance of developing a mine.

Prospecting is most active in the district south of Bluffton and Gravelly, small towns on the Fourche river, about tnirty miles from the Rock Isiand railroad. Several hundred claims have been asked In this district, although on only about a dozen has any development work been attempted. These prospects were visited by Mr. Sogers, and according to his report most of them show no signs of mineralization other than a little crystalline quartz and pyrite (fool's gold). Several of the prospects, however, are located on true veins that fill old fissures or faults by which the strata are cut and along which gold-bearing solutions, if there were any, might have risen.

It was claimed that assays made of selected specimens of the ore from these prospects showed from $2 to S152 a ton in gold. Seven of the most promising prospects were, therefore, sampled, great care being taken to gather a reliable a.verage sample of what the prospector himself considered his best ore. Despite the high returns claimed the gold shown by assay of these of ficial samples in no case exceeds 62 cents a ton and In most of the samples it is 6 cents or less. No more than a trace of silver was found in any of the samples. The material as thown by these assays Is far from being ore, although It probably represents fairly well the average run of the veins.

The rocks in this district are of the stratified or sedimentary class, being chiefly sandstone and shale of carboniferous age, and are about twenty miles distant from any known outcrop of igneous rock. It is well recognized by geologists that important deposits of gold, silver or copper are very uncommon in stratified rocks except where the rocks have been directly selected by Igneous activity, and, therefore, it is not to be expected that ore important quantity will be found anywhere in this region.

At the same time there are geologic indications that dykes of igneous rock may underlie the surface at no very great depth and that solutions currying small amounts of gold may have emanated from these dykes and have ascended from the old fault fissures, depositing small pockets of ors at certain favorable points. Thus there is & very well substantiated claim that a small amount of the ore from ono of the prospects ran as high as $61 a ton In gold, although the official sample, taken entirely across the vein at a somewhat greater depth, showed only 6 cents to the ton.

'Two months of personal experience in the heart of the European war zone have filled my mind with impressions and memories that probably never can be wholly effaced. When I landed in America a few clays ago, even the bleak and desolate coast of Massachusetts seemed to me a thing of matchless beauty. I was grateful for the air of peace it breathed, and more grateful to think I was in America again. "It is impossible to give you an adequate conception of conditions on the other side. The nights and days were filled with hideous noises—the rattle of arms— the thunder of guns—the crash of conflict—the sobs of misery-laden women and children. Soldiers have taken the place of people. The children who played joyfully on the streets have disappeared and their laughter nushed. The movement of commerce has given way to the rush of troops. Rich men are impoverished—the poor are poorer, and now famine rears its ghastly head over those once fair lands.

To think that such conditions actually exist in this advanced period of a splendid civilization is almost beyond belief and I breathed a devout prayer that this fair land of ours might never, under any circumstances, be plunged into such grief and chaos. We must learn from others' experience. We must conserve our resources. We must check the almost criminal extravagance that fr*# been running riot in this land for years. "Economy should be the watchword of the hour. We are living too fast. We are wasting our resources. We have a great future but every man must put liis individual shoulder to the wheel. He must start economy in every direction.

must make every dollar do its full duty. Extravagance is one of the causes of want and war. We have been thinking too little of what we have. We fhinV too much of pleasure and the present and too little of the future. We must stop living for today alone. "And now that I am once more at the head of my business-—once more in active command—I am'going to try to teach you some of the lessons I have learned. I am goin^ to use the tremendous buying power of this department store to helw you live within reason. I am going to h?lp you make your dollars do their full duty. We have always been noted for selling reliable merchandise at lower prices than the other fellow, but not content with that I propose to see that the tendency of prices still keeps on its downward march. "Under such conditions this store will be your logical goal. I want" you all to. get in closer PERSONAL TOUCH with the members of this firm so that our capacity to please and the power of your dollar will be developed to their highest point of efficiency.
