The largest arrowhead we have seen in
this vicinity was in the collection of Indian

The war against thistles still goes on, and
hoboes and impecunious ''druuks' are be-
ing worked to an advantage This is the

There is in Spain river called Tinto,
which has very extraordinary qualities. Its
waters, which are as yellow as topaz, harden
he sand and petrify it In most surprising
ests upon another they both become per-
ectly united and congIutinated in year.

An ingenious automatic switch, says The |
Magazine, is now applied to the |

doubtless with the philenthroplc idea of |
Ielping the business of the local electric |
lighting company, are accustomed to leave |

'ay the advertiser, but lets people at a DIS
ance know the town IN which you reside is
n energetic community of business men.
