Aztecs No Relatives | of American indians _ In the early, efghties, two AStess, & girl and a boy, were shown in Beotland by a man and woman Wwho exploited them i As the story of their discovery and | kidoaping goes, rumors of the existence of two Aztec children reached | the Gulf coast, says a writer in Ad--venture Magazine. Some adventurers penetrated the hinterland and discovered the two Aztec children, who were posed on the altar of the temple by the priest of the cult as subjects for veneration, possibly—if the traditions of the Aztecs be’ri?tly handed down to us—held until the time for sacrifice to the god came due. The children were kidnaped and, after a bitter struggle with their pursuers, were ‘brought to the coast and smuggled ‘aboard ship, and eventually came into the hands of the couple. After careful analysis of the physi‘cal characteristics of the Aztecs, &t may be said they differed from the Amerindian in many ways and were an entirely different race of people from the red man—any nation or people of the Amerindians. - The head, the- features, eyes, inouth, nose, jaw and chin had no resemblance to any Indian nation or people, or even to the mixed races of the red man, which range from the Slave lake of northern QOanada to Patagonla in South America. The outstanding difference was in the hair. The hair of the Aztecs was a long, frizzy shock that stood upright from the forehead. | Ancients Made War on Tooth Troubles Deutal therapeutics dates from a very remote epoch. It is not known when this art commenced, but it is well known that the Egyptians practiced it to a considerable extent. On a papyrus scroll estimated to date ‘back 8,700 years before Christ, which -was found buried :t the feet of the god Anubis, there vere found written remedies against painful molars and .4 way to alleviate other troubles of the teeth by ieans of pulverized drugs. The art of “flling” is very old. Egypttan mummies have been found with molar cavities very carefully closed. Others have artificial teeth which show that in very amncient times this dental process was known. The Chinese cured toothache 2,700 years before our era. One of their methods was to put irom rust in the cavities. Music of the Desert During the holy month of Ramathan, when the Mussulman feasts only after sundown, the Sudanese reveille awakes the sleeping soldier at midnight. It is the voice of the desert itself, expressed by sons of the desert. The golden notes of massed bugles rising in the silent night, and the swell- . ing roll of the drums, are thrilling beyond description, because they are the vocal spirit of an intangible something . that always touches the soul of man. The deep velvet sky, the glowing ‘planets, the vastness and silence of the desert, the utter absence of distraction, make it a blending of perfect beauty; so perfect that one scarcely breathes for fear of breaking an illusion.—William A, Anderson in Adventure Magazine. :

Inviting Crime “Look here what I bought for that dog of Junior’s,” Mr. Burton announced, throwing a package on the table. ' > Mrs. Burton unwrapped it. “Why George!” she exclaimed. “A dog collar, of all things!” : : ; “Yes, and I gave $3.50 for it,” Mr. Burton related. i “Three dollars and a half!” echoed Mrs. Burton. “What on earth! I dou’t understand! You've always said you had no use on earth for Junlor's dog and you wished somebody would steal it.” : ; i “Yes, that’s just it” Mr. Burton agreed. “With that collar on it some one will be sure to steal it mow."”— Kansas City Star. .
