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

At Llane Grande we found a health resort, which has been in continuous use for centur ies. Here w; found a natural hot 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 flesh is heir. Walter F. Curley, the adrainistrador at the Chama plantations, told us of wonderful cures credited to this spring, and as the p’ace is free to all comers there could be no possible incen tive for fraud.

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, • Only a Mask.

Poison ©aklgSHj Poison Ivy 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.

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.
