Prehistoric Find in Kansas.

In a shaft being sunk by the Weir June
ton coal company a find was made today
which will attract students OF Archaeology.
4 rude box made OF bark about six by
four inches was solidly imbedded in fire
clay about 80 feet under ground, and was
fossIlized. but the bark can be seen plain
ly on the inside. Three arrowheads Of
flint were found in the box. and two Of
them are unfinished. The box and CON
tents were below two beds Of coal. The
coal had not been disturbed. Coal is be-
lieVed by scientists to be hardened beds
Of peat and vegetable matter. At the
time coal was formed the dampness and
heat OF the earth produced prodigious
masses of underground. This had its day
and decayed and dropped to wet earth.
LAYER after layer accumulated and in
many cases mixed with the bark and
leaves OF oak trees, which contain tan
min. This preserved the vegetable matter
and changed il to a kind of coarse peat.
II is supposed that by volcanic disturb
ances. landslides or the accumulation of
surface soil. these deposits were covered.
and the action of the heat of the earth
combined with pressure and age carbon
lied the mass into coal. The age of coal
is n matter of dispute among scientists.
Some say that the harder varieties have
been in the process of formation millions
of years.
The box found in the coal bed might
nave been placed there while the coal was
in the soft stage, or even while II was
peat. Another possibility is that n vol
canic disturbance threw the coal bed
toward the surface and In some way in
closed the box In the clay. 1t is be-
lieved that there has been no great dis
turbance of the Kansas coal fields for
thousands of years. In many mines in
these fields the layer of fire clay is found
to be Immediately under the coal. The
clay is dug from under the coal with
picks and the coal drops down from
above. Anthropologists are gradually
coming to believe that man is of more
remote origin than was formerly believed.
Human bones have been found with those
of fossil species of the extinct elephant,
rhinoceros and bear. 1t is now establish
ed that man existed in the drift period.
when the great glaciers from the North
overran what is now the United States.
One piece of evidence is a reindeer horn
made with a rude picture scratched on 1t
of a mammoth. This carries the age of
man back tens of thousands of years,
but not as far as the period of coal
formation, which was thousands of years
before the drift perlod.-tLetter to the

How to Live.
tBoston Globe

The late DR.. Dlo Lewis used very plain
language on this subject of over-eating
He had numerous patients who complained
Of biliousness; they had no dyspepsia, but
were only bilious."
9TH word b~ilousness," said DR.. Lewis,
is "A sort of respectable cover for pig
gishness. Follow my prescriptions"
First. on getting up and going to bed
drink plenty of cold water. Eat for break
fast. until the bilious attack passes. a lit
tie stale bread, say one slice, and a piece
half as large as your hand of boiled lean
beef or mutton. If the weather is warm,
take instead a little cracked wheat or oat-
meal porridge.
For dinner take about the same thing.
Go without your supper.
Exercise freely in the open air, pro-
ducing preparation, once or twice a day.
In "a few days your biliousness is all gone.
Herb drinks, bitter drinks, lager beer,
ale. whiskey and a dozen other pring
medicines are simply barbarous."
High livers boast Of leading a short
and merry life but IL there as much
Werriment in an Incorporate life as there
l. i'm one Of moderation? How much joy
is the dyspeptic or the man with the big
head next morning getting out of life?
Doesn't excessive eating and thinking de-
stroy all chances for rational enjoyment
and usefulness? How can a person per-
form his daily work satisfactorily or with
any comfort if he has deliberately de-
suroyed his digestion?
Good digestion is within the reach Of
all and means strength and courage.
Chesterfield evidently understood human
nature, for he said: "A light supper, a
good nights sleep ard a fine morning have
often made a hero of the same man, who.
by indigestion, a restless night and a
rainy morning would have proved a cow
ard"
Every one learns by experience the
amount of food and drink that agrees
with him. hut, as a rule, a majority of
people eat too much and exercise too lit
tie. The human body is an intricate piece
OF machinery needing constant care.
Without proper exercise it easily gets out
Of order. If you feel out OF sorts, eat less
and exercise more. Active workers live
long. The indolent and g%luttonous are of
little consequence in the world.
