A FORTUNE ON
HER HEAD.
The Mexican Indian Women’s Love
for Gorgeous Adornment-
IT PROCLAIMS HER ANCESTRY-
The Quechi Female Will Sell or

tion for Her Hair,
An Associated Press dispatch
from the city of Mexico tells of the
discovery. nearChama, Guatemala,
of a cache containing curios and
.treasure estimated at $500,000 in
■value. One of the rare articles
found is a crown worn by a Quechi
chief in the fourteenth century,tne
date being fixed by the medallious
and coins forming part of the head
dress.
Rare jewels, idols of hideous
d.-sign and filigree work, wholly
different from any specimens now
displayed in Guatemala were in
cluded in the find, according to the
Official Journal of the state of Ja
lisco, which newspaper first pub
lished the facts.
Edwin Kurtz, a recent traveler
in the Alta Verapaz district of
Guatemala, relates stories of ad
venture and discovery in that coun
try which give color to the report
ed find near Chama. The state
ments of Mr. Kurtz and letters
from Leon J. Dutton, of Melrose,
now exploring the country, antici
pates further fabulous discoveries
. and promise of wealth of adventure
to the Philadelphians who are now
preparing to make a four months’
tour of the country immediately
after the close of the rainy season,
which is now at its height.
SOLD FOR A SONG.
A letter from Mr. Dutton, re
ceived within the week, says: “San
Geronimo is now the mecca of all
the restless spirits in the country.
On May 28th hunureds of natives,
each the son of a king, or of a
king’s son, assembled on the great
piaza in front of the palace of the
Alcaide and held festival there
throughout the w r eek following. I
never saw such a ceremony. Scores
of cock fights eutertained the
crowd.
“The women, of whom there
were thousands present, brought
-ceramics worth fortunes and sold
them for a song or traded them for
trinkets w'orth little or nothing.
These jars and vases are the real
thing, differing in that respect from
those made by the Chinautia na
tives, who turn out antiques (?) by
the hundred every month.
GREAT ON THE HEADDRESS.
“Some of the pieces displayed
and sold at San Geronimo were dug
up by the women while working
on the plantations at Chama. I
have seen pots of hideous design
turned up by these women, and
when opened I have known them
to contain carved images, rare
jewels and coins centuries old.
“The Quechi woman will sell
or trade anything she has or can
get except coins or precious stones,
both of which are retained to deco
rate her headdress. The natives
•can be identified as to ancestry and
habit by their headdress, and I
have seen dozens of these curious
decorations with an intrinsic value
exceeding $20,000.
“The headdress of the Quenchi
Indian is primarily a long scarf,
some being two or three yards in
length. Hierolglyphics are worked
into this fabric in all shades of
color, and each figure has a signi
ficance known to all members of
dhe tribe. The head pieces of the
living are oftimes monuments to
the dead, and nothing is too val
uable to form a part of this all-im
portant article of dress.
“In the days of the Aztees, ac
cording to local lore, family for
tunes were spent upon a single
crown designed for a Quechi king.

found a health resort, which has
been in continuous use for centur

spring, which bubbles and boils at
all seasons of the year, and the na
tives claim that a bath in this wa
ter will cure all the ills to which

GATHERING OF MILITIA-
Bis Encampment this or next Sum
mer at Chattanooga.
It may be that next summer or
the summer following, at the latest
all the Georgia militia, with those
of the states of North and South
Carolina. Kentucky, Tennessee.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
ana Florida will encamp at Chicka
mauga park. This will be the sta
tus of things if the bill now pend
ing in congress is passed making
the volunteer army. A copy of
this bill has just been secured by
Inspector General W. G. Obear.
Under its provisions the organized
forces will be known as the regu
lar army and the volunteer army,
and the unorganized as the reserve
militia.
The president is authorized in
time of peace, after consultation
with the governors of the states to
call the volunteer army into active
service for the purpose of instruct
ion. These troops will be concen
trated in the four sections of the
country, north, east, south and
west. The Southern rendevous
will be Chickamauga park. The
whole period of this service shall
not be less,that* seven days nor
more than one mouth in any year.
While encamped the troops will re
ceive the same pay and allowance
as are received for troops of the
regular army.
The officers and enlisted men of
the volunteer army will be on the
same footing as to provisions as
officers end enlisted men of corre
sponding grades in the regular
army. The state troops will be in
structed and drilled in accordance
with the regular army as far as
possible.
Schools will be provided at ooints
to be determined by the secretary
of war for the theoretical and prac
tical instruction of the volunreer
army officers,the course being from
three to six months in duration.
An annual inspection by a regular
army officer of every organization
at the home station is provided for,
as well as examining or “bouncing”
boards to pass upon the qualificat
ions of officers.
The sum of $r,000,000 annualy
is appropriated for arms and equip
ment. and the further sum of $4,-
000,000 yearly for pay and camp
expenses. 111 order to participate
in this fund the state must an
nualy appropriate for the support
of the volunteer troops at least one
half of the amount it receives from
the government.
All the officers in the volunteer
army are to be appointed by the
governor of each state and will be
commissioned for six years. All
officers before commission must be
favorably reported upon by the ex
amining board, one of whom must
be an officer in the regular army,
and all of whom must hold a higher
rank than the officer examined.
The original enlistments in the
volunteer troops unless sooner dis-*
charged, must be for three years,
and all re-enlistments for one year.
No persen wfll be enlisted or re
enlisted until he has passhd a suc
cessful physical examination, to be
prescribed by the secretary of war
and conducted by a medical officer
of the regular or volunteer army.
The volunteers, when called into
active service of the Uuited States,
are subject to the same regulations
as the regular army, and the dis
cipline will couform to that of the
latter, •

BOTANICAL REPTILES ilif
THeir Sting Sets the SKin on Fire and Fills
tHe Veins witH a Violent, Lingering Poison
These plants seem to partake of the nature and character of the If
serpent; in winter time being comparatively harmless, but when warmed
into life by spring and summer heat they become extremely venomous
and spiteful, emitting a milky juice that burns and blisters like a fiery
acid, producing quick inflammation and painful swelling. Some persons
are so susceptible to these vegetable poisons that coming in their vicinity
will produce almost as much discomfort and pain as handling them; jgJßsßr'
their thin and sensitive skins seem to absorb from the surrounding
atmosphere the acrid juices emanating from these plants. There is
seldom a picnic or family gathering in the woods but that some mem- _
ber of the party comes in contact with Poison Ivy, Oak or some other
hurtful plant or weed, aud through the open pores the poison is carried
to the overheated blood. Poison Ivy is found clinging to tree trunks, & .
BLOOD SATURATED WITH POISON OAK.
Mr. John Friel, of Bear Station, Del.,
writes: “I was poisoned with poison oak
which went through iny blood, and my
condition became so serious that the
doctors all said I could not get wall. I
remained in a precarious condition, con
fined to the house, for six months, when
I saw S. S. S. advertised and began its
use, soon realizing that it was doing me
good. I continued the medicine and was
cured entirely. I think it the best blood
medicine made.”
like edges and a downy appearance underneath. While the two plants are entirely unlike
in appearance, the poisonous effects are very similar.
After the swelling subsides the skin remains for a long
time in a rough and inflamed condition, dotted here and
there with bad looking ulcers and little festering sores.
It js truly remarkable with what regularity and
certainty the disease returns, and always on schedule
time, appearing the same month, day and hour, almost,
that it did the year before. Don’t be deceived should all
LILCLL IV. Viivi til j V-- tit v, x tv§ w i*vv v- w
the signs of the poison vanish soon after the first attack —the acrid juices have been taken
through the open skin pores into the blood, and the most persistent and faithful use of
external remedies can never dislodge them, and next season, and for years to.come, you may
expect to endure the same bodily tortures; the blood in the meantime becoming so saturated
and charged with the poison that each succeeding attack
leaves the body weaker and recovery more uncertain and
■ I f(L ” slow, and thus the once simple malady ends disastrously.
For every poisonous plant, tree, shrub or flower, nature
has wisely provided an antidote or cure. The roots and
herbs of which S. S. S. is composed quickly, surely and
Ipermanently overcome and drive out of the blood and
system the effects of Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, Virginia Creeper, Thunder Weed Sumac and
vegetable poisons of every variety. S. S. S. will be found an invaluable and perfect antidote
for poisons of this class. There is never any return of the aggravating symptoms after a
course of S. S. S-, as it destroys every vestige of the poison.
Don’t abandon hope because of repeated failures. State your case to our doctors; we teel
sure they can help you. Medical advice will cost you nothing and is strictly confidential.
