STRANGE DISCOVERIES.
The Tomb of Madoc ap GryfYyddmaelor, a
Great Welsh Warrior.

The Tomb of Madoc ap GryfYyddmaeior, a
Great Welsh Warrior.
Great interest has been excited In
North Wales by the announcement that
the tomb of Madoc ap Gryfyddmaelor,
great Welsh warrior in the eleventh
and twelfth centuries, grandson OF
Owen Gwynedd, Prince of Wales, had
been discovered in the ruins of Walle
Crucis abbey, Llangollen. Rev. H. T..
Owen, warden of the abbey, who is now
engaged upon some excavations, was
searching for old stained glass in the
dormitory, when he disinterred a large
stone slab bearing the name of Madoo
and an inscription which has not yet
been fully deciphered. Down the cen.
ter of the stone is an incised sword in
sheath. Further excavations led to the
discovery of four other stones, each
about fve feet by eighteen inches; two
bear forated crosses, one an inscribed
spear, and the other Grecian orna-
ment. The stones form part OF the
vaulting of the corridor leading to the
Vtu Dutidl-S IOuhu OA euo thonhS. AHe
wagrior founded the abbey. which was
a Cistercian monastery, about the year
1900. After the venerable building be
came ruin, the chapter-house and
scriptorium were used for several gen
erations as farmstead, and were prac
tically destroyed by fire. During thu
repairs it is conjectured that the stones
of Madoc's tomb were used to complete
the vaulting. In 1861 the debris cover
ing the area of the abbey was removed
by Lord Dungannon, and the tombs o
benefactors buried in front OF the higf
altar. the figure of a knight in chair
| armor, and q stone coffin, were lait
bare. During the excavations of las
year the monks well and spriuG wers

IN CASE OF FIRE.
How 1t May Be Confined to a Single Room
for Some Time.

How 1t May Be Confined to a Single Room
for Some Time.
In a lecture before the Society of
Arts, London, Mr.. A. w. G. Ghean
gave the following concise and simple
directions how to act on the occurrence
of fires. Fire requires air; therefore
on its appearance every effort should
be made to exclude air; shut all doors
and windows. By this means fire may
be confined to a single room for suffi-
cient period to enable all the inmates
to be aroused and escape; but if the
doors and windows are thrown open,
the tanning of the wind ard draught
will instantly cause tho flames TO in
crease with extraordinary rapidity. In
! a room table cloth can be so used as
to smother a large sheet of flame and a
cushion may serve to beat it out; a
coat or any thing similar may be used
with an equally successful result.
A wet silk handkerchief tied over
the eyes and nose will make breathing
possible in the midst of much smoke,
and a blanket wetted and wrapped
around the body will enable person
to pass through a sheet of flame in
comparative safety. Should lady's
dress catch fire, let the wearer at once
lie down. Rolling may extinguish the
| fire, but if not, any thing (woolen pre-
ferred) wrapped tightly round will eff
feet the desired purpose. A burn be-
comes less painful the moment air is
excluded from it. For simple burns,
oil or the white of egg can be used.
One part of carbolic acid to six parts
of olive oil is found to be invaluable in
most cases, slight or severe, and the
| first layer of lint should not be removed
till the cure is complete. but saturated
by the application of fresh outward
| layers from time to time. Linen rag,
soaked in mixture OF equal parts oil
lime water and linseed oil, also form a
good dressing. Common whiting is
very good, applied wet and continually
dampened with sponge Philadelphia

many people think that catamount

a big difference between them. Cata-

wildcats, more ferocious, and very
much stronger. They are more like

\ Reprieve for the Condemned

Wretched men and women long con-
 demned to suffer the tortures of dvs-
 pepsia, are filled with new hope after a few doses of Hostetter's Stomach
 Bitters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the
 Bitters is persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek it's aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tremors and in somnia of which indigestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most beneficent of stom- achics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful eloquence in those who. benefited by it, speak voluntarily in it's behalf. It requires a graphic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the pro- prietors of the Bitters, these are DOT traved with vivid truthfulness. Con billiousness, muscular de- bility, malarial levers and rhumatism are relieved by it.
