. \ remarkable find is reported from the
little town of Laconia,. Ark, about p
miles south of Helena. 4 well was being
drilled on farm at the edge of the town,
and when they had gone to the depth of
l2j feet the drllers reported that they were
in some peculiar substance, which was
hard, yet was not rock. They examined
the drillings and said that they were pass
ing through layer OF bricks, as nothing
else would give the peculiar appearance to
the drillings. AS the drill was at such a
depth that it was considered impossible for
brick to be buried they were laughed at,
but the men insisted that bricks were at
the bottom of the well.
AS there were no brick houses in the
town and there had never been it could not
be believed but the strong assertions of the
drilers induced many people to visit the
place, anu while quite a crowd was around
the well hole the men brought up TO the
surface lot of mud from the bottom and
examined it as they had done from the time
they found the brick residue.
In the mass of mud was a small piece of
metal, which was cleaned off and was
found to be piece of money. 1t was Oc-
tagonal in shape and had hieroglyphics on
it which could not be deciphered, but
which evidently was meant to represent
the value of the piece. 1t was totally differ
ent from anything ever seen in that neigh
borhood, and the piece was carried to Hell
ena, where it was shown to numismatics,
but all agreed in pronouncing it as some
thing beyond their knowledge. 1t is claimed
by antiquarians here that the bricks and
coin are the relies of a prehistoric race
which lived here many years before the
Indians and who built the pavements and
roads which were discovered at Memphis
on the other side of the river above Helena.
The coin will be sent to the Smithsonian
institution for examination, but the owner
says it will take large amount of money
to buy it, as he thinks it is worth fortune
to some one.

American Corn for the Germans.

The real significance of the proposed
German experiments with Indian corn as
an article of food, says the Boston Journal,
is forcefully shown by a recent report OF
Consul General Mason of Frankfort to the
state department. The "staff of life for
the majority of the German people con-
sists of black bread. This is made from a
mixture of rye and an inferior quality of
wheat. So great is the consumption of
this that Germany in 1890 imported nearly
$4,000 tons of rye. Russia has been the
principal source from which this cereal
was obtained, 81 per cent of that imported
last year having come from the Cars do
main. The failure of the Russian rye
crop this fall and the imperial decree for
bidding its expectation, have thus given
the food question a serious aspect for the
Germans. Rye which in August, 1890,
was selling at $50 per gross ton at Berlin,
had last August jumped TO S6l.SS a ton.
There is no cereal on that side of the At
lantic with which Germany can supply the
deficit. Secretary Rusk is convinced that
our Indian corn will meet the needs of the
German people, and the situation is such
that it will probably be given a thorough
trial.

prescribed course, came away "cured, - and
became the foremost champion of the re-
markable Specific" His most notable
contribution was that which appeared i'm
the October number of the American Re

hopeless case, his complete cure. as he
thought it, and enthusiastically champion

incubation, but while the readers of the
article were still bordering it, Mines fell
dead drunk in the gutter. He was taken
To the workhouse hospital and died there
after a few days of untold agony. 1t was
a dreadful ending of what might have been
