A VALUABLE RELIC.
Thought to Be Drawing by RO-
man Soldier of the Cru
cifixfOn.

continuing my examinations" said
Sig. Marucchi, Il came some time since
upon little drawing, 15xS inches. 1t
was on the wall of a room in the sol
diers' quarters in the house of Tiber-
ius,' says Ainslee's Magazine.
"The lines in it were almost complete
ly obliterated. Nevertheless, by the aid
of powerful glasses, | thought | dis
cerned pictorial reproduction of some
striking event. There seemed to be
two crosses with ladders leaning
against them. On one of these a SOL
der was mounting, carrying something
like tablet. Above the transverse bar
of this same cross was another soldier
with hammer. Beneath was figure
dragging another toward the cross.
Yet another figure was raising ladder
to the second cross, and on third lad
der a soldier was mounting. Two ropes
hang from the cross beams which unite
the crosses. Names are written near
the figures. One is Pilatus or Piletus
written Piletus). High above the
drawing is a word resembling Crestus,
and near it is hammer, which, as is
known, was the emblem of the cruel
fXion.
''All the circumstances brought me to
imagine for moment that I might be
in the presence of picture of the cruel
fxion of our Savior, and possibly even
drawn by soldiers who had assisted
at the event. Many others were of the
same opinion, though there were com
petent authorities who read in it a
different Specification. They suggest
ed for instance, the launching of a
ship, or the representation of an aero
batic performance. One thing is now
clear, the large inscription over the
drawing can be no part Of the idea
therein represented. 1t is the work of
many hands, written at various periods,
and composed almost exclusively Of
hbertine expressions"

Precocity Behind the Scenes.

Not long ago Mrs. Beerbohm Tree,
sons, stood in the wings Of a London
theater watching some very little folks
rehearsing for new stage production.
One of the little tots especially inter-
ested them and when the child came off
Mrs. Tree bent down and kissed her
benevolently. wouldn't you like to
have me get you sponge cake soaked
in milk. you dear, tiny thing she said.
Thanks, DEAR" replied the infant,

An instructor was drilling q COM
pany of English volunteer recruits,
who did not pay much attention to his
orders. He noticed one man in partic-
ular, who was passing sly remarks
about him. The instructor held out for
some time, but at last could stand it
no longer and said to the man sar-
castically: 'You seem to know all
about the drill, my lad. Suppose you
come and take my place" The man
came out of the ranks and, facing the
company, gave the order: Company
'tention!" Then, after apause: Right
turn! Dismiss!" Leaving the aston
ished instructor, who was too amazed
to speak, the company raced back to
the canteen, delighted at having es-
capped an hours tedious drill.

.BETRoTHALS IN SPAIN.

A curious custom obtains in some
portions of Spain in regard to be-
trothals. A youny man who locks
with favor upon a handsome SEN
orita and wishes TO gain her hand
calls upon the parents for three
successive days at the same hour of
the day. At the last call he leaves
his walking stick, and if he is to
win the desired bride the cane is
handed to him when he calls again.
But if he is not regarded with
favor, the cane is thrown into the
street, and in this way the young
man is made to understand that
further calls will be useless.

OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but
Isffectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the the next thing
to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full OF
bloated sensation after eating, ac-
companied some times with sour
or watery risings, q formation of
gases, causing pressure on the
lungs and heart and difficult breath
ing; headache, fckle appetite, ner-
vousness and a general played out
and languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the
interior of stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, infamed con-
dition.
The cuse for this common and
obstinate disease is found in a
treatment which causes the food to
be readily and thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and
irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
Of the stomach.
To secure a prompt and healthy
digestion is the one necessary thing
TO do, and when normal digestion
is secured tie catarrhal condition
will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet, composed
Of Diastrse, Aseptic Pepsin, a lit
tie Nux, Golden Seal and fruit
acids.
These tablets can now be found
at all drug stores under the name
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and,
not being a patent medicine can be
used with perfect safety and as
surrance that healthy appetite and
thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Boohen of 27f0 Dear
born ST.; Chicago, ILL.,, writes !:
"Catarrh is local condition re-
sulting from a neglected told in the
head, whereby the lining membrane
of the nose becomes infamed and
the poisonous discharge therefrom,
passing back into the throat,
reaches the stomach, thus produc-
ing catarrh of the stomach. Med
zeal authorities prescribed for me
three years for catarrh Of the
stomach without cure, but today I
am the happiest OF men after using
only one box Of SturFs Dyspepsia
Tablets. l can not find appropriate
words to express my good feeling.
I have found flesh, appetite and
sound rest from their use.
Stuart's Dyspepia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the
simplest and most convenient rem
ely for any form Of Indigestion,
catarrh of the stomach, biiousness,
sour stomach, heartburn and bloat-
ing after meals.
Send for book, mailed free; on
stomach troubles, by addressing the
F. T. Stuart Co. Marshall; Micn..
The tablets can befornd at all drug
stores.
