MODERN TREASURE TROVE,
Island in Lake Michigan Yields to
Searchers a Large Store
of Gold.
From an island off Grand Traverse
bay, in Lake Michigan, two men ac
cording to uncontradicted report, have
just dug up $150,000 in gold. It is sup
posed to be gold that was stolen from
Chicago at the time of the great fire
It is also stated to be "Spanish gold,'
though the currency of the pistole and
the doubloon in Illinois only two years
before the crime of ’73, is a fact in
financial history not hitherto noted
This, however, is mere detail The
important fact, is that, a treasure hunt
er has actually unearthed a very sub
stantial sum, and in real money It
will put hope into the hearts of many
hitherto unsuccesaful excavators, and
the stocks of treasure-prospecting
companies—none of which, to far as
we know, are listed on any exchange
—should go up several points.
The phrase ’’like finding money"
(one of the most familiar in our pop
ular speech) shows in itself how even
humdrum twentieth-century society is
permeated by the notion of treasure
trove. Other equally common figures
of speech, it will be noted, relate
to experiences as familiar as them
selves. Spilt milk and chickens count
ed before they are hatched come with
in the limits of everyone’s knowledge.
But hardly anybody finds money.
When one does, it is usually only a
dime or a nickel in the gutter. The
phrase goes into homely language be
cause people are thinking about find
ing money, not because they are do
ins it
One reason for the fascination which
hidden treasure has for persons oi
all age3 and periods i3 that oji no other
ground do romance and practical sense
approach so closely. That there were
pirates along our coasts—enough oi
them to make up a popular series ol
the now extinct cigarette pictures—ia
as indisputable as that there were
signers of the Declaration of Independ
ence. They certainly amassed great
stores of gold and silver. It was their
regular practice to bury this, and no
body has ever dug it up. Therefore,
It is still where they buried it, for
anybody’s taking.
JILTING PROVES COSTLY.
When Engagements Are Entered In
to in Germany They Must
Stand.
It is no light matter to enter into
an engagement in Germany. Cupid
plays by no means the principal part
in the contract. The German law
grim, practical, relentless—is close at
hand to see that no wrong is done to
either party. No wonder, therefore,
that an engagement is entered intc
only a little less lightly than the
estate of matrimony itself. Once the
betrothal feast has taken place the
knot is as good as tied. The one who
breaks the engagement, except for
good reasons, recognized by the law
as such, is obliged to pay, not for
damaged affections or broken heart,
but for material loss. If the bride
have given up a lucrative employment
in the prospect of marriage she must
be compensated, and all moneys spent
by parents or guardians for the trous
seau. the wedding breakfast, etc., must
be made good.
On the other hand, the bride-to-be
who jilts her fiance without good cause
is required to make good to him any
ioss he may have sustained through
her influence, as in exchanging a good
business for one less lucrative, in ol
der to be near her; renting a house in
prospect of marriage or entering intr
any contract in which money is in
volvsd. All such claims must be estah
lished vvithm two years.
The majority of women over men
in Germany is more than 800,000. In
the small towns, therefore, the prob
lem of marrying the young girls is
getting to be a very serious one.
When a hostess wishes to give a ball
or a small dance she finds that for
50 or 60 young girls she can find
only about six young men. For this
reason the boys in the high schools
and gymnasia are permitted to gc
out early, although it is openly ac
knowledged that it is not good for
them to be thus distracted from their
work. The number of girls training
for business or professional careers in
creases every year as their chances for
marriage decrease.
King Alfonso’s Night Guards.
King Alfonso is perhaps more se
curely and carefully guarded during
the hours of darkness than is any oth
er European monarch, except., perhaps,
the sultan of Turkey. For four cen
turies the slumbers of the successive
sovereigns of Spain have been watched
all night by the “Monteras de Espino
sa”—a body of men to whom is rele
gated the exclusive privilege of guard
ing their monarch from sunset to sun
rise. They must have an honorable
military career, and be natives of the
town of Espinosa. Ceremoniously they
lock the palace gates at midnight,
opening them at seven the next morn
ing.
Her Hearty Approval.
Tommy had been playing center in a

boys, and his mother, after having
soaped him energetically, was holding
him under the faucet.

Dreadful.
He—Why so pensive? Are you think

SOME NEW LACE STITCHES
j The Rather Coarse Work Liked by
Girls Ordinarily Not Over
Fond of Fancy Work.
I The girl who has a distaste for tine
I sewing and delicate lloss embroidery,
and who chooses the darning of torn
I unen and family stockings as ner share
of the household duties, will find a real
friend in the new filet lace embroidery.
In this lace work the designs are woven
into a fine or coarse mesh net by darn
ing instead of by the cross-otitch, as in
Russian scrim embroidery. In fact, the
vogue for cross-stitch embroidery haa
rather given way to filet lace work,
which closely resembles filet-guipure.
The real filet lace is enjoying a decided
popularity for insertions and edgings on
table covers, center pieces and counter
panes. At. a large dinner given this
month by a well-known society woman
the long table was covered with a mag
nificent linen cloth Oblong insets of
filet lace in orchid design, set at regular
intervals, formed a square in the center
of the cover, while the same oblong in
sertions outlined the edges of the table,
and a filet lace edging finished the bor
ders of the cloth.
A square tea cloth seen recently at an
afternoon reception w as built from ten
inch medallions of filet, alternating with
the same size squares of linen Th®
lace showed lordly roosters and pea
cocks silhouetted in white against the
linen mesh
Collars and cuffs, medallions and
bands of filet lace w-il! be much in evi
dence as trimming for the shirt waist
and linen frocks of the summer girl of
1905. The girl who cannot afford the
real guipure can produce almost as
striking effects in darned lace, with the
aid of her book of cross-stitch designs
Colored laces seen so much on evening
frocks this winter will be a feature of
the washable dresses for warm weather,
and for these the modish girl can em
broider nets In the soft shades of blue,
pink, yellow and lavender.
In making filet lace the net should ba
securely fastened to a piece of paper
cambric or thin oilcloth. The mesh is
so easily puckered and drawn out of
shape that it must be watched careful
ly. or the result will be anything but sat
isfactory. The weaving is effected by
a dull-pointed needle and mercerized
cotton, silks or crewels in self-tone, or
contrasting shades may be employed for
the darning. The needle Is drawn over
one thread of the mesh and under the
other, as in the simple darning process,
the holes being filled in by two or three
crossings of the thread. Another meth
od of filling the holes is to have the
threads pass diagonally over the tiny
square, crossing each other in the cen
ter. This gives a more lacey effect than
the straight-line stitch.—Washington
Star.
FOODS FOR THIN FOLK.
What to Eat and What to Avoid— Xf
| Followed Carefully Will Pro
duce Desired Results.
It follows that, if you w ish to he fat
ter, you must eat freely of those things
which are forbidden to the overplump
especially bread, pastry, cereal product*
of all kinds, potatoes and sweets.
One great advantage of the system
; as already stated, is that it does r.or
require the person who pursues it to
make a martyr of himself. Though but
te:- is fattening, one need not give it
up. inasmuch as the quantity consumec
under’ordinary circumstances is small.
Sugar is a fat-producer, but a few lumps
daily in one's tea or coffee will not
count.
Sweets of alt kinds are great fat pro
ducers. and stout people are apt to be
particularly fond of them. In which
connection it is worth nottag that t.hn
use of sugar as food, in one shape or au
other, has increased enormously within
the last few years. At the beginning of
the nineteenth century it was very ex
pensive—-a luxury, indeed, almost be
yond reach ot the poor—but at. presen:
| it is one of the cheapest articles of diet
If anybody who finds himself or her
self beginning to get too fat will simply
give up potatoes and bread for awhile
the tendency will promptly cease To
abandon the latter is a hardship—how
serious one realizes only after trying it
for a few days—but the benefit gained
amply pays for the sacrifice. Thin toast,
thoroughly crisped, may be eaten, and
will prove a consolation.
Prince Bismarck’s physician cured
him of a tendency to obesity by forbid
ding him to drink anything at meals—
a practice which, for some reason noi
satisfactorily explained, seems to have a
tendency to make people fat.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Leather Table Covers.
The arts and crafts in this country
have brought out table covers of nat
ural^ leather that are mo3t attractive.
They are stained in the different art
greens, three tones of red and also left in
the natural tans and browns. They are
used for library and sitting-room tables,
and men particularly prefer them for
dens. There is no attempt to cut the
edges even or to have any appearance
of finish about them. They wear r'm
ever and a day and need no launder.ng
The most fanciful of them are illumined
in the dull purples and gold of the old
missals. This takes a great deal of skill,
i but the result is in doubtful taste.—Phil
adelphia Press.
Aunt Mabel’s Maple Mousse.
Boil one large cup of maple syrup un
til it ropes. Pour slowly over the well
beaten /oiks of eight eggs, beating con
i' stantly until smooth. Put into a dou
ble boiler and scald, not letting it boil.
Kemove from the fire and let it become
cold, then stir into one pint of whipped
cream. Turn into a freezer, pack well
tc ice and salt and let it stand for thretj
nr four hours.—Philadelphia Praia.
WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
IS DANGEROUS.
-—
Neglect of the First Warning Symp
toms is the Prime Cause of so
Many Deaths from the Dreaded
Bright’s Disease.
i
It Is Easily Curable in the Early Stages
Kidney diseases are so destructive to
human life because they :lo not manife-:
alarming symptoms until the constitu
tion is seriously weakened and the
strength exhausted. Then, too often,
the remedies employed by many physi
cians are of indifferent or doubtful value,
and the patient rapidly sinks under the
disease. The wisest course is to apply a
reliable kidney and liver remedy on the
first appearance of the symptoms. A
little uneasiness in the small of the back,
digestive troubles, bowel irregularities
and disorder in the urinary organs are
matters of small moment iti the estima
tion of strong men and women, yet they I
have a serious meaning. They show
clearly that the kidneys are suffering
and need help, which must be forth
coming at once to prevent serious, per
haps fatal consequences. A few doses
of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would
prove of incalculable value in restoring
the weakened organs to health. An
investment of one dollar in a bottle of
Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is
yet in the early stage will save hundreds
of dollars in doctor’s bills, besides the
suffering that would surely followshould
the disease be allowed to fasten itself in
the body. The excellent curative power
Pr-ii-t-l.- Act. tint rnnfin.-d tn
the first stages of kidney disease. It is
equally efficacious in severe or chronic
eases. Physicians have used it as a last j
resort, in cases that defied their best
efforts, with the most brilliant results,
and it has shown its superiority over the
many so-called kidney cures, now being
loudly advertised, in instances innu- ;
merable.
