Relics OF Stormy Days.

During the process Of excavation at

South Africa. the occasion arose to re
move a bank Of clay which lay close
under the old blockhouse which domi
mates the slopes of Devils Peak
The upper strata having been remov'
ed. the workmen in taking away the
clay discovered some interesting rel
les Of the old stormy times when the
Cape was the halfway house on the
voyage to India, and bone Of conten'
ton for the English, French and
Dutch. The first discovery was the
case of shell which had exploded in
the clay, and which was found, thick
ly encrusted with rust. embedded 9
couple of feet from the surface. A lit
tie further to the right, and about
three feet from the surface, a couple
of four-inch solid shot were found
and further along the bank a seven
inch shot.

WASHING KNIN ES RIGHT.

Never put the handle of knives in
to the water, for thus the handle
would be discolored and the blade
loosened. Instead, dip each blade in
to hot water with soda and dry
It at once. Another method Is
to have large tin or basin
with a tin or wooden cover. In
the cover Sits are cut, through which
the blades Of the knives pass to the
water, while their handles rest OF
