Spd All the Honey
You please on handsome furniture, costly paintings,
statuary aud other magnificent ideas, but if you take
away softening influences and charming graces of ap
propriate draperies, the effect of all your collection of
costly beauty would be so diminished as to become
wearisome to the eye and a positive bore to the refined
or sensitive mind.
Beautiful Draperies Are Not Expensive
This week we are making a practical demonstration of
this fact, and the practical home maker, housekeeper,
or co 'y room or corner furnisher may learn much in a
few minutes spent in our Drapery Department these
days that all the reading and home study of a month
could not impart. The truth is, we are enthusiastic
on the subject of
Popular Priced Draperies
And upholsterings and offer opportunities to buyers of
taste such as are not to be had elsewhere. All the new
'fabrics, tone effects and colorings are seen at their best
r- n in our extensive collection, and our long and success
?j 'j.'ful study of how to make homes beautiful at a surpris
ingly low cost may be of value to you.
Of Course, We include Lace Curtains
Door Panels, Sash Curtains, etc. Some are made in
" ,, the Scranton factory, others come from abroad, Inex-
' pensive Nottinghams and Irish Points are much sought
after and the new art effects are lovely. Then there
are the dainty Muslin and Swiss Curtains with ruffles
or plain; elegant Brussels aud Irish Point goods; Ori
ental European aud American hangings, etc., none of
which will frighten you by their cost, Suppose you drop
in aud see them this week.

The bones dNcoveicd in this search for Pan
American lelics are bejond a doubt beu-ral
thousand ycais old. They arc of a prehistoric
lace nnd the chaiacter of the people who occu
pied the coast of the gulf at this period Is an
inteicitincf subject for speculation. Whoewr
they may Ime been and wheneier they may
hac lived, the remains found show bejond a
question that some terrible outbreak of nature
cruised the sudden death of thousands of these
ancient people and their burial in the strata
wheie by chance they were discovered and their
existence leportcd to archaeologists working in the
Intel ests of the I'an-Aincikan exposition at Buf

submerged the city of Tiaheston and swept to
a sudden and teirihlu death thousands of Us

lt was but a short lime n;o that tne excava
tions were begun which icsulted In these singu
lar and extraordinary discoveries. The finding
ot the icmalns in the tlrsl place was quite acci
dental. Mi. 11. .1. Simmons, superintendent of
tin- Arizona and New Mexico railway, who is
a fill ml ot Superintendent A. I,. Dcnidlct, of
tin- Pan-American exposition department of eth
nology and aichacology, was making rcaatli,ns
a km," the lines of this railroad near Clear Creek,
fiahcstcni county, for railroad puiposes when
bones wcie found in the eaith icmoud. On ov
auiiuatinn of the contents of the ;lcam thowl
skulls und human teeth were noticed and further
search led to the discovery of skeletons nf whole
families together with ivory heads nnd ether
nbjicts of hum m handivvoik. Ileal!. nig tho
valuable and scientific chiractir of tho liud a
sjsleinatiu seauh of tho stiat.1 In the vicinity
was made. C'enlogMs uy tint this whole sec
tion was unco coveied hy tin- gulf of Mexico,
The Idea at once came to Mr, Simmons, on
learning the extrusive chancier of the liumin
iiiii.iliis, that In tin- far distant put a tidal
wave- bad occuriid ill the time the gulf cuvcied
more of that pait of the country than at picsint
and that tliisi- Imues were the unuliu of the
thousands of hum m beings who hid been
diovvncd in t lie overflow ot the walcis ot the
gull.

The situation of this rciuaikahlo archaeological
find was a deposit of Kheli, gravel and sand in
lunk comUting of ahout thirty aries nearly
Miriiiiiiuliil by the dear Cicek. This deposit
consists ot seven distinct strata, each about three
feet thick, and between each stratum there h f
deposit of silt or cartli flora one-fourth inch t(
one Inch In thickness. On tho top of the banil
the koll la about cUht inched deep and largf
llvo oak decs grow thickly over it. It is ono
of Iho lust places one would go to in looking for
the remains of a prehistoric! race. No two
of the strati are exactly alike, nome having m
laigcr peitcntagc of gravel than others,"and th
shells also vary. Homo aro much laiger than
other', fouio are ojuler shells and some aro
clam. On tho average the deposit consists of
about 40 per cent, shell, to per cent, giavel stnl

fiom thci up the bones wero found in great
nliund.irce, ami in tho bottom layer, Just at
water level, und about twenty-one feet below th
ton of the bank, large quantities of tho bones
wero found. Just how to explain this phasn
ot the situation lias taxed tho antiquarians. Soma
suggest the possibility of two succcsalvo tidal
