with long. slim windows and ground
plan like that of Trinity in Boston.
At first glance the walls appear TO
be constructed Of rough sandstone
smeared with an uneven coating OF
gritty, coarse plaster; but a closer
view reveals the error of this first
conclusion, Instead of plaster the
eyes behold traccries of delicate
leaves. laCework of interviewer twigs,
bits of broken branches, fragments of
messy bark, splinters of wood, all
preserved against the wasting Of time
and decay by being turned into the
hardest of finty limestone.
As matter of fact, every block of
stone in the four walls is a closely ce-
mcnted mass of dainty fossils. There
Is no basic rock at all, but only fossil
nbers. which give the rock cohesion
and strength. The blocks were hewn
from the petrihed depths of nearby
cedar swamp.
Mumford is situated in the heart of
the great area of rock once in the bed
of an ocean, known TO biologists as
the Niagara limestone.
Northeast of the village is a dense
grove of CCdars. AS one approaches
IL the clean lime rocks dip suddenly
and give way TO a wide and long level
of dark, blucish-gray muck, once be-
yond doubt the bottom of prehistoric
lake.
The whole grove and undoubtedly
the muck land are on a bed Of thick
white rock, which looks, more than
anything else, like immense slices of
! Roquefort cheese. It's coloration is
much the same, and 1t has a similar
! tendency to Crumble when taken fresh
from the quarry depths into the upper

A close examination shows why this

mass is made up of the petrified cedar
leaves, branches, twigs, broken barb
and even whole stumps and knots
welded and knit together into one
dense tangle.
AS these parts of the trees fell, one
layer upon another, they were saturat
cd with the dampness of the swami
and with the lime held in solution
AS the vegetable matter decayed anC
the water evaporated, every line, fibeI

Grip Quickly Knocked Out.

Some weeks ago during the
severe winter weather both my wife
an myself contracted severe colds
which speedily developed into the
worst kind of la grippe with all its
miserable symptoms" says Mr.. j.
S. Egleston of Maple Landing, Iowa.
Knees and joints aching, muscles
sore, head stopped up, eyes and nose
running, with alternate spells of
chills and fever. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough remedy, aiding
the same with dose OF Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver tablets,
and by its liberal use soon completely
knockd out the grip These tablets
promote healthy action of the
bowels, liver and kidneys which is
always beneficial when the system
is congested by a cold or attack Of

Revival Meetings.

The series of meetings, which
began last Sunday evening In Steele S
hall, and which are being conducted
by. Evangelist Lee and wife, are
undenominational in character. The
meetings are being held under the
auspices of the Greeley Holiness
association, which is band Of Chris
tian workers, most of whom belong
to some one of the various churches
Of Greeley.
The object of the meetings is to get
people to live right by having them
get right in heart. through general
conversion, to be followed by scrip
tural sanctitication, the need OF
which is indicated by Heb. 18th
chapter and 18th verse.
The world is aggressive in its war
fare against righteousness and there
is a needed call to arms by every
Christian soldier in Greeley.
The world may not understand us

understand JeSls), YET III Is tiie Soou
of souls we seek. God grant that
this may be the beginning OF 4
united effort looking to the good of
all our citizens through the promo
tion OF religious ideas and conduct.
There is, nor can be no justitica-
tion of a selfish Christianity, that
wihtholds support from loving,
heartfelt and God-honored effort, to
bring about a general and genuine
revival of religion.
1t is hoped that Christians of every
denomination will rally to the call
Of Jesus and the leadership of the
evangelist now on the field. Come
and help in the work of the Lord.

The men of eighty-tive and ninety
yeras of age are not the rotund we'll
fed, but thin, spare men who live on a
slender diet. Be as careful as he
will, however. a man past middle
age. will occasionally eat too much or
of some article Of food not suited to
his constitution and will need dose
of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
tablets to cleanse and invigorate his
stomach and regulate his liver and

no reason why the average man
should not live to an old age. For

SOME QUEER FACTS
About Men and Women by
Uncle Sam.

Ie oHltco StdtCo SOiiSuo ouhS"'
has Just issued bulletins numbers l3,
and IA that contain some interesting
figures on the population Of this
country. Among other things
stated, the following:
The whole population of conti-
mental United States was first
counted with distinction of sex in
1870. During the seventy years from
1880 to 1900 the absolute excess OF
males was greater at each census than
at any preceding census with one
exception. that of 1870, when the ex-
cess of males was less than in 1870
and 1850.
This reduction of the excess OF
males between 1860 and 1870 by about
800. 900 was doubtless due to the
deaths in the civil war and the di-
minished immigration during the
decade.
The greatest relative excess of
males was in 1890 when in each TO-,
coo people there were 242 more males
than females.
by 1900 this excess had decreased
to 2l6 in 10, 600. less than the relative
excess in 1890 and 1860, but greater
than at each other census.
In continental United States
there are l,63s, 32l more males than
females, or about two in each 100
people.
Probably in the population of the
world. and certainly in that half
of it which has been counted with
distinction of sex, there are several
millions more males than females.
This tendency of American cit
les to develop population having
majority Of females had increased
since 1890 when, in the l,49O cities,
each having at least ,, 500 inhabi-
tants, there were 6,929 more males
than females.
while the excess of 6,929 males
in American cities IN 1900 became an
excess of 2lO, $50 females in Ameri-
can cities in 1880, the excess of L.
5l9, 500 males in country districts in
1890 became an excess of l.s40, $50
males in 1900.
Notwithstanding the great ex-
cess of males in the total population
of the United States, there are two
periods of life at which the reported
number of females is greater. One
extending from s3 years of age to the
end of life, is probably due mainly to
the longer average life of woman;
the other, from is to %, is probably
apparent rather than real, and due
mainly to the greater number of
women who claim, enormously, to
belong to this age period.
In 1890 among each LOCO persons
at least Is years Of age attending
school, 52s were males: in 1900 only
400 were males.
The analysis of the census re-
turns affords convincing evidence of
the tendency to underate ages. This
tendency manifests itself in the un-
duly large proportions of the popula-
tion reporting their age as 25. 30,
50, 40, etc. A skillful analysis of
the returns shows that except among
persons of advanced years this con-
centration of multiples of five repre-
sents in the majority of cases an un-
reinstatement of age. The tendency
to report ages as less than the truth
is strongest in the negro population.
stronger in the foreign born white
than in the native white population,

with constipation, biliousness, \
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lungs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. 1t is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford's Black-DrauQht is 20
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not strong and
|. drastic drug. but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con
stipation and may be taken BY a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. 1t has an in
vigoratinR effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly. the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed-
ford s Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestali the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
