When Gunpowder Was New.

A curious discovery has been made
in the course of some excavations
that have been in progress in st.
Martin de Re, in France. The ex-
cavators unearthed trenches in which
lay skeletons which were presumably
those of the citizens who fell fighting
there in defending the town against
the English in 1927, Among the skel-
tons was found spherical iron bomb
containing a moist black powder,
which was found to consist of about a
third of inter, third of carbon and
fifth of sulphur, the remainder being
iron oxide derived from the rusting of
the iron shell.

A woman says:
My husband had dyspepsia when we
were married and had suffered from it
for several years. 1t was almost inn
possible to find anything he could eat
without bad results.

the use of coffee and persuaded him TO
discontinue it. He did 50, and began to
drink Postum Food Coffee. The change
did him good from the beginning, his
digestion improved; he suffered much
less from his nervousness, and when
he added GrapCNuts food to his diet
he was soon entirely cured.

MARRIAGE and Divorce in Japan.

They marry early and often in ia
pan. A man aged forty, living in the
province of Bizen, has married and
divorced thirty-fve wives, and is now
married to a thirty.sixth. The reason
he assigns for his extraordinary tickle
ness is that he has younger sister of
extremely rancorous and jealous dis
position, who, from the moment a new
bride enters the house, Institutes a
system of persecution which soon
drives the unhappy woman to ask her
husband for a divorce, which is an
easv and inexpensive process in the
land of the Rising Sun.-London 7.

tract, firstly, on account of the CON

his business enterprise, and secondly
for the influence it will have in caus
ing the people to understand that a
building made of concrete stone
blocks has many splendid qualities,
such as strength, coolness in sum-
mer, warmth in winter, and beauty
in general appearance. He will sure
ly do the work in the best way possi-
bic, so the church will be an orna-
ment to the city. The erection of the
new church will be the cause for gen.
eral good feeling, for the reason hat
every new institution of this kind

in what was the business center of

The loss is estimated at $3.50, 900, and
the Insurance will cover only about
one-third of the loss. With but few
exceptions the twenty buildings 1es-
troyed were shacks, mainly occupied
by Chinese laundries and second hand
stores. There were, however, several
pretentious structures in the burned
district. including the old Gully
block, the Kadderly block on the east
side of Grand avenue, and the East

tel. In addition to this the city will
