WERE BURIED IN PYRAMIDS Aztec Dignitaries Had Impeelng Tombs in the Little Village of San Juan Teotihuaoan. 'Hie little village of San Joan Teotlhuacan, which in the Artec lan guage meant "City of the Gods," was In ^ho early days of Aztec history the scene of extraordinary religious cere monies. The two pyramids, one dedi cated to the sun, the other to the inoon, are known to have been the tombs in which hundreds of tribal dignitaries were hurled and excava tors have exhumed wrought stone con taining human hones, obsidian knives, terra cotta heads with broad faces and : flat Hoses, fragtiftmt-S of rare pottery i and great numbers of arrowheads. One of the most recent and most valuable discoveries was a Jadelte mask of some past monarch, with the brow covered with the diadem known to j early Mexican history. The pyramid I to the sun and the one to Ihe moon i both contain chambers and their sev -! era! stories are complete temples !n | themselves, hut connected by wlndtne t stairs.

There in much about vibration that most of uk are Ignorant of. and it Is for this reason perhaps that some , of the smart psychists have commenced to employ the vibratory suggestion in their own business. Vibrations are al leged or implied as agencies of men tal organization, and the tuning of minds to make their vibrations corre spond with vibrations from another quarter is said to be practical. Thev slang expression, "wouldn't that Jut you?" is merely a low-brow way of asserting that one's vibrations are in collision with the vibrations of somebody else. ? I>allas News. Diplomatic Secretary. Some years ago 1 was private secre tary to a well known man, and occa sionally I lunched with the family. It was in the height of the season, and a largo week-end party was being enter falned. I found It necessary to stay to lunch. The conversation turned to golf. My employer pronounced the word "golf;" his wife, ~gof." This started a not unusual wrangle between the two, and the guests took sides. Then, .I s a native of Scotland, the birthplace of the great game. I was appealed to by my hostess to settle the dispute, and more than one beamed in complete enjoyment of the prcdicniuent in which I found myself; for, if i com plied, 1 was bound to offend one or the other. It was indeed my most em barrassing moment. Then in a flash raine an Inspiration, and I breathed in for I ?aw. a means of escape.
