From the Scientific American.
ARIZONA'S WOHDilR.
On the Bim and in the Depths ot the
Grand Canyon.
by h. c. hovey.
Since the first of May there has
been a revolution worth chronicling.
The Flagstaff board of trade, co-
operating wiih the railroad officials,
have decided at last to make the
Grand Canyon accessible to tourists.
Tri-weekly coaches, with relays of
horses, are now run by Wilcox in a
single day to the head of the Hance
trail, where a first-class hotel is being
erected with accommodations for
fifty guests. The news is told pro
bono publico, and will be appreciated
by those who have had to make the
trip by buckboard or wagon, with
primitive log cabin accommodations.
My aim in this article shall be to
tell the tourist what he may expect
to see at Hance's, or at least what
I did see during my four days oil the
rim and in the depths.
But certain general facts should
first be given. Fifty years prior to
the landing of the Pilgrim fathers a
Franciscan monk induced the vice-
roy ot New Spain, in 1540, to send
out an exploring party under the re-
nowned Coronado. They discov-
ered the lower portion of the Colo-
rado river, and they also found the
San Francisco mountains, at whose
base lies the modern city of Flag-
staff. These peaks are extinct vol-
canoes, 13,000 teet high, girt about
with minor cones, basaltic mesas
and cinder plains, beyond which
were mysterious cliffs, to whose
edge a party of twelve Spaniards,
led by Cardinas, with Moqui guides,
made their way. They found a
raging river, between banks so high
as to make them seem "three or four
leagues in the air." Forms beck-
oned them to descend into the gorge,
which, on approach, turned into
"rocks higher than the towers of
Sev.lle." '
Other adventurets must have been
frightened by their report, for two
whole centuries passed before the
arrival of the next visitor, Father
Escalante, a roving missionary, who
came down from the northern pla^
teaus, diverging for the_pjf^-0se
from the old trail heKPTcr. Santa Fe
and Utah^^-fter his visit the region
w^-ljacto the Indians for three en-
ure generations, a romantic realm of
myths and legends, unknown to the
geographer.
On New Year's day, 1854, more
than 300 years after Coronado's ori-
ginal expedition, Lieut. Whipple
caught sight of the high cliffs, and
somewhat later discovered the sub-
lime gateway of the Grand Canyon.
And tout years afterward Lieut Ives
and Dr. Newberry, with Egloffstein,
topographer, and Mollhausen, artist,,
undertook its exploration. Their
account, published by the war de-
partment, stimulated Major Ji W.
Powell to make the wildest vdyage
ever made on inland waters. ! His
thrilling narration bears the simple
title of ''An Exploration ot the
Colorado River of the West." Ma-
jor Powell also reached the public
from the platforn^, and the writer
had the very great pleasure of heat-
ing his lecture wh le the matter was
yet novel to the scientific worJd and
fresh in the mind of the explorer.
R. B. Stanton, C. E., is the only
one who has thus far successfully
imitated Major Powell. His party,
in the interests of a railroad survey,
made a continuous trip by boat, in
1SS9 90, from the head ot the Colo-
rado river to the Gulf of California.
Three men were drowned during the
voyage. Powell lost two by deser-
tion, who were killed by the In-
dians.
In order to appreciate the perils
ot such a voyage try to think what
it means to descend a stream that
falls 4.100 feet in 300 miles, and that
averages as.many rapids and cata-
racts as it numbers miles! The
Grand Canyon /itself is 218
miles long ; but the Marble Canyon,
which properly belongs with it, is
sixty-five miles in length,, making a
total of 2S3 miles of Continuous can-
yon. Yet above these stretch away
to the north other long and profound
gorges, all combining to make the
stupendous pathway by which the
lordly Colorado goes sounding to
the sea. Then there are more than
fifty streams that cut through the
surrounding plateau^ to join the
main river. And each of these has
its minor canyon that wpuld be re-
garded as sublime wefe it not
eclipsed by the greater; valley into
which it empties. Each side canyon
branches again and agaii\, until you
migijt fitly describe the Grand Can-
yon as a composite of a thousand
gorges; and each individual gorge
is a worthy rival ot the famous gorge
of the Niagara. Dutton's magnifi-
cent atlas, and the subsequent atlas
sheets issued by the United States
geological survey, though master-
pieces of topography, fail to give_ a
just idea of these vast ramifications,
Sunnse in Arizona, even amid
volcanic cones, mesas, arroyas and
cactus plains, has fascinations else-
where unknown. But from the rim
of tl!e Grand Canyon the early riser
may witness war between the Titans
and Olympus. The friendly stars
had not vanished when, alone, I
mounted to the very edge of a clitt
whose base was as yet invisible. My
exited fancy clothed the darkness
with indefinite shapes, that were
mainly mingled memories of descrip-
tions read and the moonlight scenes
of the previous night. Most Of
these fancies were dispersed by the
sheen of the rising sun, and I must
confess that there followed an ex-
perience, not of disappointment, but
certainly of embarassment. My
mind could not take in the mighty
procession of grand objects, as one
by one the sunshine touched and
gilded the countless towers, pin-
nacles and spires, the broad, red
walls, royal arches and retreating al-
coves, all richly carved and embel-
lished.
For miles and miles around ex-
panded an amphitheater, stained by
all the colors from black to white,
but with a rich, warm red predomi-
nating. As yet I knew not the name
ot a single cl.ff, peak or formation,
whether grotesque or sublime. The
guide would tell me by and by ; but
I was not quite ready to have such
glories labeled. Across the chasm
ran the crest line ol a palisade till it
cui the norizon. They told me af-
terward that it was Powell's Plateau.
It did not seem so very far away, till
the intervening details began to be
noticed. . -
I knew that the dots on the brink
of a much nearer wall were great
pines instead of the clumps of sage
brush that they might be taken for.
.I knew that the rift, far, far below,
into which the sun shot a ray at that
moment, was a deep inner gorge
with walls a thousand teet high, and
that J the silver ribbon winding
through it so peacefully was a river
strong and rushing, and that the
faint murmur watted upward was the
roar of a mighty toirent. The eye
wandered, with a kind of helpless-
ness, up and down the new vistas
opening in every direction, and
scanned the splendor and elegance of
the ramparts, colonnades and bal-
conies ot nature's temples and pal-
aces, till the over-burdened mind re-
coiled; and it was with a sense of
pos| fiVe relief that I was brought
back to prosaic and practical matters
by Hance's loud summons to break-
fast.
My guide for the day was a
Fienchman, Louis de Bouchere, in-
telligent, obliging and not to talka-
tive. The night winds had blown
most of the snow from the rim into
the gullies and ravines, and we had
no difficulty in walking. For half a
mile we followed the shallow valley
that finally deepens into what the
geologists last fall decided to call
"the Congress kJanyon." But just
before reaching the outlet we turned
abruptly away to the right and
plunged into a thicket of junipers,
pmyonsand various shrubs and vines
with Mexican names. We were out
of sight. of the canyon, but were
curiously conscious that at any time
a few steps taken to our left would
bring us to its awful verge. The
soil seemed everywhere fertile, and
with proper clearing and irrigation
might readily be cultivated to the
very rim, thus yielding a supply of
fruit and vegetables lor the projtcted
hotel.
After a tramp of about five miles
we suddenly came to the Red Can-
yon, which led to a remarkable
promontory jutting into the Grand
Canyon itself. At some remote
period the aborigines chose this,
with rare good taste, as the location
of twb watch towers, each on a boid
crag, whose face is a sheer precipice
of fathomless depth. The pines
growing in the castle courts seem to
drop their cones into empty space.
We thought that a bowlder hurled
from the cliff had lodged in some
rift, until after a long interval came,
back the thunderous echo of its fall.
Notches fifty feel deep, between the
crags and mainland, make ajj__*p/
proach difficult. One anient castle
has been laid in-.*iJYns, but the well
built-HT'is of the other have defied
the storms of centuries. Search
amid the environments brought to
light many fragments of water jars,
lich with interior decoration, but
with a plain exterior.
Another walk of five miles brings
one from Castle Point to what the
writer designated as Point Eternity,
on account of the boundless pano-
rama commanded from its pine-clad
cliffs. The view is almost identical
with that painted by Dutton from
Point Sublime, only seen from the
south instead ot from the north.
Here let us correct an error into
which many Arizonians have fallen,
who take it for granted that Point
Sublime is a peak rising from the
depths; whereas Dutton describes
it as a long promontory jutting out
from the Kalbab front. (Tertiary
Hist. G. C. Dist., page 141 ) The
vertical depth from the extreme
verge ot Point Eternity to the boil-
ing river that vvinds in and out far
down in the inner gorge has been
lately measured and found to be
6675 feet. The eye follows the
channel up stream until it joins the
"Box Canyon" of the Little Colo-
rado. Still above the junction ex-
tends far toward the north the ma-
jestic Marble Canyon. Scanning
the horizon to the extreme west we
descry the Kanab Wash, which cuts
down from the sumnvt ot Buckskin
mountains to the drainage level.
And along the northern rim we also
identify Galena, Willow, Dry, Iron
and Clear Creek canyons, besides
the Bright Angel Amphitheater, fil-
teen miles long, and whose walls are
5000 feet in height.
From the miners, who four.H
names necessary to secure claims,
we obtained the following names of
side canyons along the south rim
that are now first published. Red
Canyon lies between Point Eternity
and Ayer's Peak. Then comes the
Hance (or Congress) Canyon, do An
which runs the Hance trail. There
follow in the order given the Aspen,
Grape, Sweet Water, Lone Tree,
Silver, Pipe Creek, Indian Garden,
Big Horn, Salt, Monument, Hermit
and Long canyons, all visible from
Point Eternity. Next below is the
Cataiact Canyon, hidden by the in-
tervening hills, but accessible by the
trail from Williams.
But what idea do mere names
give? The very word "canyon" . is
misleading and unfortunate. We
think of a canyon as a narrow gash
in the earth's crust, from the bottom
of which the sky, if seen at all, looks^
like a bit ol bl,ue ribbon. There
are many such ravines, but thev are
as unlike the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado as Hance's log cabin dif-
fers froin the Vatican. The Grand
Canyon'is more than a mile deep;
but its «vidth varies Irom five to
eighteen miles, and this immense
valley is filled with every fantastic
lorm and vivid color conceivable.
It contains not only hundreds of
smaller canyons,, but countless ter-
races and lofty peaks. According
to Major Powell, it might be possi-
ble to follow -one narrow shelf for
1,000 miles ; and to trace the w ind-
ing terraces of the general valley
throughout its 21S miles would
require a journey of 4.000 miles.
Imagine Mount Washington torn
from its roots and hurled down.from
Point Eternity, the astonished be-
holder could still ga*e across its
base to PointjSublime, with ait un-
obstructed view. Hills already rise
from the depths of this wondrous
valley higher than the tallest peaks
of the Blue Ridge. And, as if to
complete the .matchless and indes-
cribable spectacle, after these depths
were excavated in all their grandeur,
torrents of lava burst forth from the
surrounding volcanoes, and repeat-
ed cloud bursts and tornadoes have,
even to this day, made havoc of
what was already wild beyond our
Wildest dream of the final catastro-
phe.
Friends kindly warned me that
the descent into this enormous gorge
would overtax anyone except a
mountaineer or a hardy geologist.
But, encouraged by Bouchere, I re-
solved to make the attempt; and by
takiing plenty of time lor it, the task
was by no means exhausting. Hir-
ing a pair of sturdy burros, one for.
the pack and the other lor the sad-
dle wherever riding should be found
practicable, we boldly crossed the
rim. Bouchere took the lead; John^
ny and jenny followed, and the
writer brought up the rear. Stout
mescal stalks served us for alpen
stocks. The 6now drifts under the
rim were disagreeable but not dan-
gerous. as they were a month previ-
ous when the guide was caught on a
ledge between two rival avalanches.
Altera while the narrow footpath
became dry and hard, and although
exceedingly steep and zigzagging in
every direction, was uniformly firm
under foot.
The ridiculous is neighbor to ihe
subliine. Our burros ran away.
Tripod and camera were Hung to
the verge of a cliff, whence they
were with difficulty recovered.
Fainter and more taint grew the
tinkling of the burro bells, as the
wearers scampered headlong down
the path we had to tread with such
caution, scattering our outfit as they
went. An" hour later we found the
creatures quietly browsing on bunch
grass amid the cedars, as if their
conduct had been altogether orderly.
These sure-footed animals occasion-
ally come to griel. Not long ago,
in just such an escapade, the mate ot
our burros fell from a cliff 300 feet
high, and broke every bone in his
body.
Those who descend into the can-
yon lose sight of the boundless wil-
derness of grandeur at which it
seems a sin to point an impertinent
little kodak, and really gain some-
thing by having single objects of in-
terest brought to view in their turn.
Here arid there are water-worn ways,
now utterly dry, but oyer which once
tumbled mighty cataracts. Near
one of these places we found large
cavities filled with red pigment that
had probably been resorted to for
centuries by the Indians. Three
miles down from the j head of the
trail we reached a grove of cotton-
wood trees, watered by a perennial
spring, issuing from! an adjacent
cavern. The banks vsjere gay with
tropical flowers. Countless cacti
were in blOom, conspicuoqs "among
them being the prickly pear and the
giant mescal, which grows here to
the height of fifteen or twenty teet.
Beside the stream a rock cabin stood,
whose rafters were mescal stalks,
and whose canvas roof was anchor-
ed by heavy stones lest it should be
blown away. This part of the can-
yon is locally termed the "level,"
and from here to the river, some use
can be made of the saddle. Grass
is plentiful, on which numerqy^jjC
ses and cattle had beerL.l^ftJflej tlur.
ing the winter, for^fj my guide as-
sured me it vya-j; perpetual summer
a_t£W?tf"ihe cottonwood cabin. The
miners farther down the canyon
planted gardens and lived in the
open air at a season when the pla-
teaus are white with snow. Tliey
admitted that there was an occasion-
al Irost, but not enough to prevent
their raising melons, tomatoes and
other vegetables before the rest of
us had doffed our furs.
As to the results of canyon min-
ing, it may be stated, in brief, that
no assays have yet been made of
the ores extracted, but lead, silver,
and copper are certainly abundant,
and there is much nickel. Great
quantities ot asbestos are found.
The existence of other valuable min-
erals is .indicated. Some twenty
openings have been made in the line
of what they call "assessment work,"
and Mr. McClure, and his comrades,
regard the diggings as the richest
they have ever seen.
Amid my novel , surroundings
sleep seemed impossible during our
first night in the depths. The gale
that swept up the gorge was terrific
at times, yet our cabin stood, the
strain. Meanwhile the sky was
azure and the full moon Hooded the
mighty walls with silvery sheen.
A bright planet hung above a tall
cliff at our tight, and (he stars in
Orion's belt guarded another on our
left, looking like electric lights along
the ramparts. The hues that had
seemed glaring by day were exqui-
sitely softened, while the recesses
not touched by the moon were en-
wrapped in solemn grandeur. Long
after rpidnight I fell asleep, to awa-
ken by dawn, thickly covered with
the white ashes blown from our fire
place by the gale, but eager for the
experiences of another day amid the
depths.
When on the rim we were on the
;Aubry limestone, which continued
jfor the first 750 feet vertically, fol-
lowed by j50 feet ot Aubrey sand-
stone, which together constitute the
cliff. Then came 1,000 feet first of
Aubrey shale, succeeded by 3,000
feet of massive red limestones, of
the Carboniferous system, shading
into Devonian and Silurian rocks.
The summit of the red wall series
forms the main terrace, and its edge
is the main cliff.
* Below our Cottonwood cabin we
came to mottled Cambrian shales,
1000 feei thick, under which is the
Tonto Sandstone, 300 feet, also
Cambrian. At the junction of Con-
gress and Aspen canyons our way-
lay through beds of enormous bowl-
ders, above which towered cliffs and
pinnacles of the various formations
named above. Here the'canyon be-
gan to "box in," i. e., the walls ap-
proached each Other and were pre-
cipitous, but presently opened into a
great sandstone amphitheater, named
Gabriel's Cathedral, strangely
weathered and carved into noble
panels. Under its arches are ancient
Indian works, fireplaces where thev
roasted the roots ot the mescal, and
also mounds that the'guide assured
me were grave*.
Below the cathedral is the "gran-
ite," of which the miners have so
much to say, as holding the veins
from which,they hope tor a metallic
harvest. The granites and schists
ore highly tilted, and the channel
winds and twists through th^m,
tumbling over several cascades;:in
order to join the river. One must
either descend these by rope ladders
or loljow the longer miuers' trails1
that are practicable for burros. The
entire length ot the Hance trail from
rim to river is seven miles, and
Hance himself claims to have been
down and back in nine hours. But
the ordinary tourist will find it a lull
day's work, and will do well to go
down one day and return the next.
One would think that the scenery
here would grow monotonous by its
very excess of grandeur. But this
is not so. The ever-varying light
makes kaleidoscopic effects. You
think you have fixed some charming
view in memory torever, but even as
you gate the scene changes. 1 hese
rapid transformations set cameras at
defiance. Yet meritorious work has
been done by Osbon, a Flagstaff
artist. Taber of S*n Fnncisco,
Jackson, ol Denver, and otHetg'faave
some fine views. The best fire those
taken by the governmental survey
and that are on exhibition, in the Na-
tional Museum.
Our upward journey from the
Cottonwood Cabin was begun under
the scorching blaze ot noonday. We
proceeded at a leisurely pace, often
pausing to admire some gay bank of
tropical flowers, to inspect some rare
plant or to examine some attractive
glen or cave. How grateful were
the groves of juniper, with their cool
shade! We are in no hurry. We
listen to the marvelous stories the
chasms around us have to tell as
to their creation. The task of ero-
sion began ages ago, when the gen-
eral surface was near the sea level.
The shallow channels were deep-
ened as successive upheavels made
faults in the strata, and gradually
lifted the plateaus to their present
height of from 6000 to 9000 feet
without destroying their geological
horizons. Natuije is now resting.
There are no rending earthquakes
here, and the volcanic fires are ex-
tinct. The forcts at work are the
perennial' streams, aided by the
winds and the sun's heat, the melt-
ed snows, and occasional cloudbursts
and electrical storms.
Slowly we pursued our tortuous
path amid scenery perpetually
changed by the shadows cast from
the remote pinnacles and nearer
crags. The rufHed escarpment far
above us glowed as if in some con-
flagration^but as the alternoon wore
away, its scal'oped edges lost that
fierce glare and were graciously
tinged by the ruddy sky. Are those
masses of royal purple, rose color,
lemoh color, olive green and ver-
milion simply hard rocks? They
are more like sunset clouds. We
are climbing through an enchanted
realm. As evening approaches, the
colors die into sober gray. The
long ravines seem to told their
wings about the gorgeous temples
to await the dawning of a new day.
Darkness settles over the vast abyss.
We hasten lest we, too, should be
enwrapped in the black mantle. And
when we finally gain the rim and
turn to take our last look at the
Grand Canyon, its glories are hid-
den amid the nocturnal gloom.

In a certain college under presby-
terian auspices, not a hundred miies
from New York, it is a rule that the
students shall attend church at least
once each Sunday, either at the col-
lege chapel or some other church in
town which they shall designate,
and for non-attendance satisfactory
reasons must be given. Of course,
on Monday mornings, when these
reasons are called for, much ingenu-
ity and some fun are brought out.
In one ol the interviews, Prof. L.—
asked a student: "Mr. C—, where
did you attend church yesterday?"
Mr. C.,replied,"The First church,
sir."
The professor, looking a little
surprised, said, "Are you aware,
Mr. C., that there was no service at
the First church yesterday?"
This was a poser, but was coolly
met by, "I mean, professor, the first
church I came to."
A general laugh followed, and
somehow the young gentleman got
rescued.

Mews From all Quarters Condensed—1
What the Workers are Doing—
tin tineas Prospeota. t
Philadelphia, Pa.,
August 9, lS<)2.
There are calls in all avenues for
young men of practical education to
take the lead in electrical and me-
chanical work. The schools and
colleges that have been established,
while good for their purposes, are
not intended to turn out mechanical
thinkers. There are forty or fifty
technical schools doing their best,
but the plans on which they are run
are not broad enough. The profes-
sions, strictly so-called, are being
neglected by the brighter young men
of the country, and instead ot seek-
ing for fame in law the wider ave-
nues are being entered, and in a few
years the biains and energy of the
country will be found engaged in
scientific development.
The commercial outlook for the
next twelve months is better than it
has been for, perhaps, three years.
The country has taken a nap, and is
better for it. Production threatened
to be rushed to undue dimensions
three years ago, and fortunately
there was a scare started in London
which stopped feverish activity every-
where and kept people safe. That
is now past. Production is now
once more expanding. The country
has grown a good deal. Railroad
builders have been taking it easy.
Mine owners have been mining only
what they could sell. Shops have
been making only what the market
would take.
The great financiers of the United
States are looking forward with a
good deal ot anxiety. . They see
more than th^y tell. They know
that there is more in the silver
movement than appears on the sur-
face. They say it is all right for the
newspapers to cry down and live
down the silverites, but these bank-
ers know there is a great deal in
that movement, be it right or wrong.
There is more money waiting in-
vestment in the United btates now
than for three or four years past. It
is hard to say in what direction it
will go. In the industries there is
not as much chance, because there
has been a steady expansion. In
railroads people are afraid. In
speculation there is too much risk.
The probability is that there will be
a good deal of money offered ioj
loaned to farmers, manufacturers,
miners and promoters of new enter-
prises ot all kinds. 1

A Little Ulrl'H Expcri-
ence in a Ltghthoukie.
Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are keep-
ers of the Gov. Lighthouse at Sand
Beach, Mich., and are ble&sed with a
daughter, four years old. Last April she
was taken down with Measles, followed
with i dreadful Cough and turning!into
a Fever Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew #orse
rapidly, until she was a mere "handful of
bones".—Then she tried Dr. King's New
Discovery and after the use of two and a

8IXTY MILLION BUSHELS OF WHEAf
A Bushel for Erei/ Inhabitant of the
United .Butes—The Kansas
Crop of '92.
Never in the history ot Kansas has that
state had such bountiful crops as this
year. The farmers cannot get enough
hands to harvest the great crop, and the
Santa Fe railroad has rnade special rates
from Kansas City and other Missouri
liver towns to induce harvest hands to go
into the state. The wheat crop of the
state will be from 60,000,000 to 6^,c~:'i,cx>
Dushels, and the quality is high. The
grass crop is made arid is a very large
one; the early potatoes, rye, barley and
oals crops are made, and are all large.
The weather has been propitious for corn,
and it is the cleanest, best ^looking corn
to be found in the countty to-day. Cheap
rates will be made from Chicago, St.
Louis and all points on the Sjinta Fe east
of the Missouri ilver to all Kansas points
on August 30 and September 27, and
these excursions will eive a chance for
eastern farmer* to fee what the great Sun-
flower state can do. A good map ot Kan-
sas will be mailed free upon application

There is more catarrh in this section of
the coimtry than all other diseases put
togethw, and until the last few vears was
supposed to be incurable. Ftor a great
many j-fears doctors pronounced it a local
disease^' and prescribed local remedies,'
and by\constantly failing to cure with
local treatment pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven,, catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitUtibnal treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J\ Cheney &
Co.', Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. It is taken
internall y in doses'from ten drops tor a
teaspoontul. It acts directly on the blood
and" mucous surfaces of the system. Tl|ey

The Camerist and the Squaw,
A Presbyterian divine recently
visited this city only to have a some-
what startling experience. While
near the union station he thought it
would be a fine thing to shoot his
kodak at a Ute squaw, but when the
squaw saw the kodak pointed to-
ward her she thought she was being
bewitched, and pulling a large knife
from under her dress she made a
desperate lung for the dominie. He
saw what was coming, dropped the
kodak in his fright and made a very
undignified dive for the other side of
the street. The squaw captured the
witch instrument, and after demol-
ishing it replaced her* knife with a
satisfactor grunt and marched tri-
umphantly away.—Denver News.

An Epidemic of Bloody Flax.
La t summer the flux raged here to a
fearful extent. About five miles north of
here at the Whiteside graveyard there
were five victims of this dreadful disease
buriedrin one day. The doctors could do
nothing with the disease. When my
familyi-were taken- I went to Walter
Brothers, of Waltersburg, and told them
the situation. They said give Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem-
edy; that they haJ sent out several hun-
dred bottles into the infected distiict, and
"every diy we hear how this medicine is
curing them. So far we have not heard
of its failing in a single instance." I
went to giving it and could soon 6ee the
good effects, and a cure was the result.
Anyone in doubt about these facts may
write to me.—L. C. Ellis, Rock, Pope
Co., Illinois. For sale by T B. Hanna &

Idols Not Less Than 600 Years Old.
It is reported from Santa Fe, N.
M., |that in excavating some Aztec
ruins near Chaco canyon Gov.
Princgjhas unearthed twenty stone
idols of a different type from any
before discovered. They are circu-
lar in shape, foiming disks varying
from six to fifteen inches in diame-
ter, the upper half containing a
deeply carved face and the lower
half rudimentary arms in relief. The
idols are believed to be at least 600
years old.
Cholera infantum has lost its terrors
since the introduction ot Chamberlain's
Coilc, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy.
When that remedy is used and the treat-
ment as d'rected with each bottle is fol-
lowed a cure is certain. Mrs. Fanny
Lauderdale, of Rock, Pope Co., Ill , says
it cured her baby of cholera infantum,
and, she thinks, saved its lite. A. W.
Walter, a prominent merchant at Walters-
burg, 111., says it cured his baby boy of
cholera infantum after several other rem-
edies had failed. Tne child was so low
that ,-he seem<*d almost beyond the aid
ot human h tus or reach of any medi-
cine," but Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy cured him. 35

In an.editoral on 'the subject of
Congress arid th^ World's Fair,
the Philadelphia Rjecdrd says: —
Apart from the immediate ques-
tion of closing the World's Fair on
Sunday, there can be no mistaking
the ulterior object of this Sabbata-
tarian crusade. Should it prove suc-
cessful, the reaction against person-
al liberty and social progress will
not cease until every street car shall
have been stopped and every library,
academy of arts and museum closed
on Sunday. The Sabbatarians have
not hesitated to avow that their pur-
pose is to re-establish the puritani-
cal polity ot the seventeenth century.
In the debate on the Quay amend-
ment Senator Frye, of Maine, pas-
sed a eulogy on the puritanical Sab-
bath and fervently expressed a hope
of its speedy restoration in this coun-
try. Other senators, in their Sabba-
tarian zeal, gave utterance to like
views. This is the real meaning ot
bigotry's persistent attack upon the
Columbian Exposition.
