GraduallT Bccouiins Extinct.
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of the Belgian
Antarotic Exposition writes In the Century of "The Giant Indians of Tlerra
del Fuego."
I h e F u e g l a n s have been reported,
from time to time, since the country
was first sighted and named by Magellan In 1520, but to-day they still remain almost unknown. In connection
with the voyage of the BelgUra we had
unusual opportunities for studying their
wild life a u d their weather-beaten land.
T h e y are uot, a s Is generally supposed,
one homogeneous tribe, but three distinct races, with different languages,
different appearances, different habits
and homes, » • • T h e Onas have
thus f a r evaded all efforts a t civilization, have r e f u s e d missionaries, and
have, to the present time, with good
reason, mistrusted while men. T h e y
have, in consequence, remained absolutely u n k n o w n .
T h e Onas, as a tribe, have never been
united iu a common interest, nor have
they ever been led by any one g r e a t
chief. They have a l w a y s been divided
Into small clans under a lender with
limited powers, and these chiefs have
waged constant w a r f a r e a m o n g themselves. To the present they have had
their worst enemies a m o n g their own
people, b u t now that sheep-farmers and
gold-diggers want their country, they
are uniting to fight their common enemy.
n i y s l c a l l y the Oiia.s are giants. T h e y
are not. however, seven or eight feet
In height, as the early explorers reported their neighbors and nearest relatives. the P a t a g o n l a n s , to be. T h e i r
a v e r a g e height Is close to six feet, a
f e w attain six feet aud six inches, nnd
a few are under six feet. T h e women
are not so tall, but tbey are more corpulent. T h e r e Is p e r h a p s no race iu the
world with a more p e r f e c t physical
devtdopment than Ibe Oua men. T h i s
unique developmeni is partly due to the
topography of their c o u n t r y and to the
distribution of game, which m a k e s long
m a r c h e s constantly necessary.
The
Oua men are certainly the greatest
cross-country r u n n e r s on the American
continent.
The mental e q u i p m e n t of the Oua Is
by no m e a n s equal to his splendid physical development. He u n d e r s t a n d s very
well the few a r t s of the chase which
be finds necessary to maintain a foodsupply. His g a m e In the past has been
easily gotten; bis needs have been few,
which f a c t accounts for the lack of inventive skill portrayed In the instruments of the chase. T h e home life, the
house, the clothing—everything port r a y s this lack of progressive skill. Instead of the children being well dressed a n d well cared for, a s Is the rule
a m o n g s a v a g e races, they are mostly
naked, poorly fed, badly trained, a u d
altogether neglected, not because uf a
lack of paternal love, hut because of
the mental lethargy of the people. It
is the same as to shelter and garments.
T h e y have a b u n d a n t material to m a k e

way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the

the result, and unless the Innammatlon ran be

nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,

Spring Body Cleaning
Every spring you clean the house you
live in, to get rid of the dust and dirt which
collected in the winter. Your body, the
house your soul lives in, also becomes filled
up during the winter with all manner of
filth, which should have been removed from
day to day, but w a s not. Your body needs
cleaning inside. If your bowels, your liver,
your kidneys a r e full of p u t r i d filth, and
you don't clean them out in the spring,
you'll be i n bad odor with yourself and
everybody else all summer.
DON'T USE A HOSE to clean your
body inside, but sweet, fragrant, mild but
positive and f o r c e f u l CASCARETS,
that
work while you sleep, prepare a l l the f i l t h
collected in your body for removal, and
drive it off softly, gently, but none the less
surely, leaving your blood pure and nourishing, your stomach and bowels clean and
lively, and youV liver and kidneys healthy and active. T r y a 10-cent box today, and if
not satisfied get your money back—but you'll see how the cleaning of your body is

MARSH CONVICTED.
T h e conviction of General Marsh by
a Jury of Ingham county is t h e culmination of one of t h e worst scandals
which has ever disgraced the s t a t e of
Michigan. T h e only defense a t t e m p t ed by Marsh was a "blui!" by his distinguished counsel, and i t now remains to be seen whether his technical
defense will be sufllcient t o get him a
new trial a t t h e hands of the supreme
court. T h e Detroit F r e e Press in discussing t h e verdict says;
Genera] Marsh is guilty. Such is the
finding of t h e jury t h a t j u s t concluded
its enormous duties a t Lansing, and
the verdict Is a confirmation of popular judgment. No other case in t h e
history of the s t a t e was ever so closely
ur intelligently followed by her people.
They knew t h e enormity and baseness
(it t h e crime t o which they had been
subjected by trusted public servants
and every detail of the exposure was
perused with unprecedented avidity.
Y e t there was no clamoring for a
victim, no a t t e m p t to i n t e r r u p t t h e
course ol absolute justice. None b u t
those hopefully interested dared predict an acquittal. Even t h e few who
foretold a disagreement based expectatlon upon nothing more tangible t h a n
t h e proverbial u n c e r t a i n t y of p e t i t
Juries. I n promptly and unhesitatingly declaring the general guilty as charged t h e 13 men who had his f a t e a t t h e i r
disposal did j u s t w h a t t h e vast majority of citizens looked for.
T h e evidence on behalf of the people
was simply damning. As laid before
t h e jury there was no loophole for escape t o be detected, not a spot in the
web t h a t was not as strong as every
o t h e r p a r t . T h e r e was hard work as
v e i l as magnificent skill and u n t i r i n g
energy displayed in t h e preparation.
T h e legal champions of t h e accused
were as s t r o n g as could be found, and
t h e f a c t t h a t they pursued t h e course
they did is convincing evidence t h a t
none b e t t e r was open t o t h e m .
T h e average j u r y m a n like the average citizen, must have been unable t o
believe t h a t General Marsh was in a
position to account for t h e suspicious
transactions brought home to him, and
yet would not t a k e t h e s t md t o tell a
story t h a t would vindicate his honor
and avert t h e impending loss of liberty
t h r o u g h imprisonment. I l l s able a t torneys made all possible o u t of t h e
material upon which they had t o work,
b u t even for t h e m it was a hopeless
t a s k t o a t t e m p t t h e e s t a b l i s h m e n t of
innocence by a t t a c k i n g t h e most overwhelming proofs of guilt.

T h e display will be in t h e form of a

walls will be double and illuminated
by interior electric lights. T h e pict u r e s range in size from 3 by five f e e t

weary from pain and t h e torture of
over-tr^ed n e r v e s it is but natural that
you should be low-spirited and dejected. Worn-out by t h e care, the
worry and the long suffering from
weaknesses that have bafllcd the best
efforts of your family doctor, it is n o
wonder you have become discouraged,
and thinlc there is nothing left for yotf
but suffering and misery. D o not give
up all hope, d o not lose all courage.
Remember Dr. Miles' Nervine has
helped thousands of despondent women to regain their lost health and failing strength.
It quiets the irritated
nerves, rests the weary brain and
drives worry and care
cart away. It giveszest to the failing ap
appetite, invigorates
the digestion and a d d s new strength
and vigor to the whole system. Don't
forget the came.

" C h a n g e of life left me a total
wreck and I suffered nervousness,
rheumatism, heart trouble and dropsy.
When I commenced taking Dr. Miles'
Nervine last December I was thought
to be in the last stages of nervous prostration and was scarcely able to move
about tbfi, house. I began t o improve
almost from the first dose, and in a few
months I was enjoying better health
than I had before in fifteen years. I
am now able to walk ten or a dozen
blocks without feeling in the least fatitmcd. and 1 bless the day I first heard
of Dr. Miles' Nervine."
