HW rEOFLE HIDE MONEY.
PLACES IN WHICH WEALTH IS

Trnur Stored Away In OUl Stock
ing. Brick Ovens, Wijon-Tops.
and Many Other Queer riaccs,
"I've lmd a good deal of experience in
hunting for money that folks have con
coaled," snid a gentleman visiting at
Park street in Lewiston the other day,
"and I just as lief tell you what I know
about it as not.
"Fifty years ago folks, especially the
elderly'people, took the utmost pains to
hide money. Old stockings, brick ovens,
old wagon-tops, china teapots, the tops
of bedsteads, hair-cloth furniture used
always to come in for a bijr share of in
vestigation after the dear departed had
turned up his toes and had been laid
away. From that moment, as you well
know, the hunt began, and folks rum
maged the house and pulled open the
feather-beds in search of the silver
shiners, the beautiful yellow-boys, or the
crisp bank-notes that it was supposed the
lamented deceased had left behind. I
suppose that this instinct of concealing
wealth and of searching for it was bred out
of a well-founded suspicion of the safety
of the old-time savings-banks, and they
were rascally things, as I well know.
Of course the hiding instinct was trans
mitted from father to son, and in my way
of reasoning the civil war had more to
do with stopping this foolish plan of
hoarding money than any other one
thing. It opened up more old stocking
legs and old colonial gold than a hundred
years of peace would have done, and yet
don"t doubt, from my own experience,
that there are countless stores of gold in
buried places in Massachusetts and Maine.
. to-day,
"I could count up any quantity of
." families who believe that a secret hoard,
left by a mysterious deceased ancestor,
. exists somewhere for them. I believe
that Captain Kidd's treasure is awaiting
"the coming of somebody keen enough
.to discover it, don't your" And here the
'gentleman in the arm chair winked mys
teriously, laughed at his own conceit,
and continued;
"A funny scheme, in which I once
came pretty near being interested, was a
stock cornpnnyformed in Pennsylvania,
where I was then living. It was designed
to make a specialty of hunting up con
cealed treasures. I did some work for
them, and a partner and I were pretty
successful there and in Js'ew York btate."
"How do you go to work?"
"Well, it is hard to s:iy. You have to
be guided by circumstances. strange
mental freaks exist in some families. You
perhaps know people who arl built the
wrong way. I used to know a Lewiston
family of misers, extremely narrow and
stingy, and yet would take no caie of
the hay in the field or the cat'.le in the
stall We had to sort of learn human
nature. Get first at the habits of the
man whose wealth you are seeking to
find. It's the best clew you have.
"I once was sent to take care of a cu
rious case in Massachusetts. It was
twenty years ag A wealthy man was
stricken with paralysis. He was about
to deposit about $2t,000 in money and
bonds when he was stricken down. The
heirs were wild. He couldn't recall a
thing. All that was known was that he
was found sitting on the front hall stairs,
bereft of mind and speech. We couldn't
make anything out of" him. He had no
money. We made a hunt at random over
the house, through the barns and stables.
We about made up our mind thnt he had
been robbed. We stopped the furniture
breaking and cushion pricking business
and were hesitating whether or not to
make arrests or to search for some syste
matic clew. For my part, as I remember,'
I was confident he had been robbed,
most probably after the stroke of paraly
sis, and I was not sure that some attack
from a robber had not precipitated the
paralysis. We sought the doctors and
examined the man's person. A long
black and blue mark was on his hip;
another was on his forehead. A sliver
of blue-painted wood was on his cloth
ing. We started out to hunt. We
tried the pump, and the clothes-reel, and
everything else. Finally, down in the
barn cellar among boxes and barrels I
camo across nn old dump-cart top.
'Here's the article,' said I. We turned
the thing out into the light, and there
in a pile of manure we found the packet
of money and bondi where the paraly
tic had fallen and where the packet had
slipped from his pocket.
'31y partner and I divided $2,000 be
tween us that evening.
"A SHilor will almost always hide his
money about him. Irish women always
sew bilis into their petticoats. I once
went into Kew llanip hire to hunt for
the money of a retired cea captain who
died very suddenly. He had been a
queer sort of man, very ta iturn and al
ways taking trips out of town after his
money. Ho wasn't a miserly man, and
I concluded that ho hudn't buried it.
He slept in no one particular place, and
so I was pretty sure that there was no
place in the house where he felt better
contented than another. 60 I said;
-nring ais clonics.' we went over
them. The binding of one of them was
wide, and his wife said, as I tore it olf,
'He always sewed his clothes up himself.
He was handy as a woman with a needle.
Queer.' She added, 'Why, he always
wanted to wear that suit to the last.
Poor dear!' and she dropped a tear. In
the meantime I had pulled out an oiled
silk packet, holding six bonds for f 1,000
each, and we found eighteen more in
the same suit. His trips to town meant
something, you see.
"Oi course there are men who bury
money. Suoh men always have its hiding-place
marked ir, and, ten to one,
they want it buried where they can see,
as soon m they can see anything in the
morning, that some thief has not discov
ered iU hiding-pluce in the night and
m:ide off wilh it. You can put it down
that men who conceal money like to have
it as near at hand as possible. I have
known money t: be concealed in the
clock in the bedroom, and so arranged
that no one could touch the clock with
out alarming the household. If a man
who hides his money has any special
idiosyncrasy it is safe to look it up. The
more ignorant and crafty your mun, the
safer to go by his crankiness."
'What sort of places have you known
tf money being hidden?"
'O, everywhere! In the upholstery
uud bedding, under carpets, behind the
door casing, between partition, or be
hind the wall -paper, In the old family j
Bibles, behind mirrors, nailed to the
walls, in false ceilings, in false bottomed
drawers, in clocks, stoves, linings of old
hats, steam radiators (disused), bottles
marked 'poison,' canes, shoes, vest and
coat linings, tomato cans, tea-canisters,
powder-horns, old stocking-feet, and in
every other conceivable place.

and their tricks are dark and peculiar."

A California Snnke Story.
Another big snnke has been seen in
Calaveras. Our informant is Mr. A.
I.ascy, Deputy United States Mineral
Surveyor, who resides at West Point.
Mr. Lascy and his son, Frank, were on a
trip into the mountains. They had
reached a point on the old emigrant
road, near the Dig Meadows. Mr. Lascy,
r., is perfectly lamiliar with tho whole
of that mountain country, and he had
decided on a camping place a few miles
further on. But coming to nn old log
cabin on the road, in which Mr. Lascy
put up before while on surveying trips,
they concluded to take a look into the
cabin, water their horses from a spring
in the gulch below, and possibly make
that their camping place. They accord
ingly stopped their team, got out, and
proceeded to explore the cabin, as it
looked very dilapidated, the roof being
partly crushed in by the weight of winter
snows. Mr. Lascy, followed by his son,
went to the low cabin door, which was
closed, but not locked, pushed it open
and stooped to enter, when he was
struck with terror at sight of a monster
reptile, which, for sue and hideousness
of appearance, surpassed anything that
he had ever seen or that he really be
lieved did exist on land. He never was
a believer in big snake stories that he
had heard, but he avers that every parti
cle of incredulity that he ever possessed
regarding these reports was completely
knocked out at sight of this living spec
imen of a monstrous reptile.
The cabin is sixteen feet by sixteen
feet. The snake lay stretched across
the cabin with its head near and facing
the door, and its tail reaching to the
opposite side and partly coiled against
some stones that had been used for a
fireplace. With its head elevated about
three feet from the floor and drawn a
little backward by the stately curve of
the neck, evidently to make room for
the swinr of the opening door, tho huge
monster faced his intruders. Both men
carried rides, and ns the elder Lascy
started back, the son brought his rifle to
his shoulder and fired at the reptile's
head. Mr. Lascy, quickly recovering
himself, fired also, and almost at the
same time. There was a terrible shuf
fling sound for a second and like a flash
the snake sealed the walls of the cabin
through an opening close to the eaves
and disappeared, and as he was going
over a piece of his tail fell from the wall
to the floor. Whether both shots had
effect or not it cannot be said, bat on
shot certainly did, but missing the head
struck, the tail, which was in range on
the opposite side against the rocks, and
in going over the wall it was torn from
its slender hold. The severed piece wat
six feet in length, and about the middle
was the size of a man's wrist. Mr. Lascy
brought the tail home as a proof of hit
adventure. The snake was at the least
sixteen feet long. The body was im
mense, as con be judged by the tail, and
as it lay upon the floor, partially flat
tened, it appeared to be fully eight
inches in breadth. It was covered with
alternate black and white rings. Mr.
Lascy says that from the fright which
the sudden and unexpected sight occa
sioned and the rapid disappearance ol
the reptile after the shooting for aftei
they fired they quickly retreated from
the door it is impossible to give a
minute description of the appearance ol
the monster, other than its color and
enormous sizo. Calaveras (Cal.) Chron

About fifty miles above Astoria, sayi
a letter from Oregon, we passed the far
famed Collin Hock, the indirect cause of
the great Yakima war of 185(5. It is a
huge granite stone in the edge of tho
river, on the Washington side, and was
used from time immorial as a place ol
burial by the Indians. It rises about
two hundred feet above the water, ia
several hundred feet in length, covered
with a dense iorest of pines and fir tree,
at its base, and on top is bare and
broken with immense fissures. A singls
fir tree stands on its points like a solitary
entinel above the resting place of ths
Indian warrior. The Indians were ac
customed years ago to bring their dead
here for interment. The corpse wa
placed in the canoe used by the departed
in life, and at his side his bows and
arrows, his pipe and blankets, and all he
owned on earth, and then he was laid
away in some cleft of the rock. After
ward the friends of the departed would
return to bring supplies of dried salmon
and other edibles which they imagined
the dead needed in the hunting groundi
of tho Great Spirit. Finally the sacri
legious pale-face, being in need of ca
noes for mundane purposes, found it
more convenient to borrow those of the
dead braves than to make his own, and
acted accordingly, dumping tho bones of
the depaited chiefs into the crevices of
the rock, and wearing off their blankets.
This, of course, incensed the red man,
and finally biought on the Yakima mas
sacre and subsequent war.
The Mexican White House.
The Mexican White House or Presi.
dcutiul residence is described as one of the
most beautiful and artistic palaces in the
world. The frescoing and painting have
been executed by Cassarin, a disciple ol
Mes.sionier,who has surpassed himself in
the ceiling of the Presidents bed cham
ber, where the woodwork is ebony und
gold, and the bed is of ebonixed cherry,
ornamented with gold and metal inar
queterie. Out of this opens the bathroom,
a grotto paved with mosaics, and having
walls of painted French tiles. On ths
first floor is a tropical garden, and th
roof, after tho manner of eastern houses,
is a beautiful gardeu of flowers and
fountains. The finest room of all is de
scribed as "the parlor," and is said to be
like the Princess's apartments in a highly
colored fairy tale. Here the woodwork
is in satin panels, with maple borders anfJ
gold flowers ; the walls are capitonne with
satin damask, relieved by blue and gold
Aubussom borders, and tho carpel, spe
cially woven in the richest hues, is laid
upon a floor inlaid with the handsomest
wood the world produces.

The eye stone is really the front door
of a sea snail found on the South Amer
ican coast. Thousands of people believe
that these bits of shell are alive, from
the fact that they will move w hen placed
in vinegar. The philosophical explana
tion of the movement is that the acid,
acting upon the substance of the shell,
generates little bubbles of gas, which
force it along through the fluid. When
you pick out an eye stone be sure to get
one with grooves on the flat side. Those
that are smooth all over are taken from
the crayfish, but are no good.
In Persia the marriage of first cousins
is the favorite union. The reason is that
cousins have been acquaintances and
friends from childhood, while to the rest
of the world, save their brothers and sis
ters, the young girl is a veiled mystery;
so that, unless there is a mutual disincli
nation or too great a disparity of age, the
Persian yonth looks forward to the
"daughter of my uncle" as his future
wife. Often the cousins are betrothed
from childhood. As a rule, classes do
not mingle in marriage. The sons of
merchants wed merchant's daughters;
the young tradesman mates with his like,
and so with the members of the seryant
and soldier classes.
Harvest Months.
It is an interesting fact that wheat
growing has now become so widely
extended over the surface of the
earth that the moon never fails to
find a ripe field to shine upon. When
the growth of this grain was largely con
fined to one latitude tho regular occur
rence of the "harvest moon" was con
sidered by some a special arrangement to
lengthen the day for tho hurried reaper!.
As now grain is falling somewhere every
month of the year, many must have to
get along without this helpful phe
nomenon. No doubt a statement of the
continual harvesting, and the time when
different countries Hccomnliali Hi.ie in
gathering, will be of general interest.

It is harvest in January for Australia,

Most of us know the story of the
American who, visiting some provincial
museum on the continent, was shown a
rusty blade which, he was assured, was
the identical knife used by tho brave
Charlotte when she finished tho blood
thirsty Jean Paul. "Where's the forks"
asked the American. He must have
been twin brother to, if not the self
same American globe-trotter of whom I
heard lately ut Candy, in Ceylon. He
was visiting a Buddhist temple, und tho
priests showed him a lamp in which
burned a sacred t' re which, they said
had not b.;en extinguished for 2,01)0
years. "Is that so':" asked tho Ameri
can. "Ii is," replied the priests. Then
the American stooped down, pursed his
lips together, and with one vigcrous puff
extinguished the sacred fire. "1 guess
it's out now," he re in ark e 1 quietly as ho
walked away. ImiuUhi JVttoi.

It is truo that occasionally a community has
witnessed an isolated case of what may ap

but to what combination of favorable circum

We have now the gratifying fart to announce
that the process by which nature affects this
wonderful change is no longer a mystery to

Tuberculous matter in nnthlns more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
Now, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the process
of elective affinity it may take its place in the
system, we can cure the disease. This is just
what l'iso's Cure fur Consumption does. It ar
rests at once the progress of tho disease by
preventing the further supply of tuberculous
mntter.for while the system in tinder its Influ

lated. It thus controls rough, expectoration,
night-sweuts, hectic fever, and all other char
acteristic symptoms of Consumption.

The forming stage of a diseo.se is always the

should induce persons to resort to the use of
l'iso's Cure when the cough is llrst noticed,
whether it has a consumptive diathesis for its
cause or not, lor this remedy cures all kindsof

Sworn to before me I J. W. FKNTON Jus

issa. Co., N. Y.
At times my book and limbs wore so weak.
I could hardly stand or walk. The of tener the
effort to void urine, the more frequent tho call
and severer tho distress.
On November 21st, 1881, I began taking
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Itoot Kidney, Liver
and Bladder Cure, and applying his U & O
Anointment. To-day I am 02 years old, and
I am enjoying excellent health. Iam froe
from pains In my back and kidneys, can sleep
well nighte, have an excellent appctito and
Indeed I am enjoying life as well as I did
eight years ago.
Dear Doctor, Imaglnoyou saw me last hay
ing time working In tho fields sweating to
carry along 250 lbs. (Which Is my present
weight good ilesh and solid), and this too
after not being able to get tp from my bed
u-Uhout help by speUs for more than a year.
Now I can jump as quick as a boy. It seems
so much like a miracle. I can not Und suitable
language to express my thanks. I am in
receipt of letters almost every week, and
sometimes twloea week, asking me about my
first testimony published In Dr. Kilmer's
Invalids' Guide to HtaUh, inquiring If it was
true that "I was curod after suffering so much."
Now 1 repeat the testimony with sworn proof
and if thia will be tho means ot inducing some
other sufferer to try your lnvaluablo Remedies
it will pay me a hundred fold. I am interviewed
almost every duy and I hear of a great
many who have triod your Itemedles and
speak of them in great pralso.
This testimony is truo as to my recovery
but as to my suffering tho ono-half has not
been told.
Sworn and subscribed to before me tho 6th
