Churches Turned Into Inns.

At Great Easton, three miles from
Rockingham Station, there is Wes-
leyan chapel which is now an inn.
When built a stone was placed over
the entrance with the words inscribed,
TO the Glory of God and the inscrip-
ton still remains over the portal Of
the licensed premises.
At Observation-Disclosures chapel
was built in 1S49, in the time of the
Wesleyan reform movement, which
after a time became too small, and a
larger building some distance away
was bought from the Wesleyans, the
smaller one being sold After passing
through various hands the former
building is now licensed house and
a music hall-London Daily News.

The Good Mixer.

"He's a good mixer" or HE isn't
a good mixer are expressions you
often hear. A good mixer" is sup
posed to be a man who can associate
with people and make business. A
poor mixer is one who makes friends
slowly, who minds his own business
and is not much of rounder A man
who gives his business close attention
is the best mixer" When people are
in need Of a certain article they buy
where they can get the best and cheap

When people are buying articles they
need they do not care whether the
dealer is a good fellow" or not. We

FOUND SECRET OF GREEKS.
Hungarian Professor Knows How to
Make Mortar lmperishable.

A Hungarian professor and chemist
of the Brunn university claims to have
1ediscovered the secret of the ancient
Greeks by which they were able to
render mortar imperishable. The rea-
son for the remarkable preservation
and hard texture of the sealing ma
terial of the Acropolis at Athens,
which is as good to-day as it was
when first laid centuries ago, has
always puzzled scientists and archae-
ologists. This Hungarian some twenty
five years ago procured a piece of this
fiintlike mortar and ever since has
been engaged upon ascertaining the
secret of its manufacture. He has in
vented a chemical compound, liquid in
character and yellowish color. The
claims of this inventor are that by the
application of this compound the den
sity of nearly every description of
stone, including granite, is doubled,
and is rendered absolutely impervious
to water; it imparts to all metals the
power to resist rust and is a great,
powerful germicide. These properties
are not transient, but everlasting.

DUST THE DEMON.
A TussIe with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal In the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says
"My husband and l. both lovers OF
coffee, suffered for some time from
very annoying form of nervousness,
accompanied by most frighttuI head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF al
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain We got no reller
from medicine, and were puzzled as
to what caused the trouble, until
friend suggested that possibly the cot
fee we drank had something to do
with it, and advised that we quit II
and try Postum Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve and IN
a very short time both of us were
entirely relieved, The nerves became
steady once more, the headaches
ceased the muscles in the back OF my
neck relaxed, my head Strengthened
up and the dreadful pain that had so
punished me while | used the old klnu
of coffee vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use OF
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the
former beverage And we are de-
lighted to find that we can give 1t
freely to our children also, something
we never dared to do with the OLD
kind OF coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug

BATTLE WITH TEN-FOOT SHARK.
Man-Eatine Dog of Ocean Fights
Fishers on Bay.

Fishers on Bay
A ten-foot man-eating shark en-.
gagged in a fierce battle with two ltal-
ian fishermen yesterday afternoon in
the bay, says a San Francisco dis
patch. The contest lasted two hours,
and the Italians were exhausted when
the fish was vanquished. They towed
it to Meiggs' wharf, where it is now
on exhibition.
Jose and Pietro Carniglia had their
net set off Angel island yesterday
morning, when they felt the boat
start. The speed increased in a rapid
rate and they realized that a shark
had become entangled in the net. They
started to haul it in, but little prog
ress could be made Forward and
back the boat was hauled, and after
more than an hour the struggles of
the shark ceased The net was hauled
in. but when the man-eater came to
the surface there ensued a terrific
struggle.
With oars the fishermen hammered
the head of the shark. At times the
tiger of the sea leaped from the water
and threw itself against the boat. The
side of the boat was partly crushed
and the water started to flow in.
Finally the shark ceased to struggle.
