FOUND TREASURE IN CELLAR.
Shoemakers May Have Discovered
Hoard Hidden by Monks.

A curious story is going the rounds
at Limoges. France, and has come to
light through an anonymous letter an
nouncing certain alleged facts to the
police authorities. 1t is asserted that
in 1901 two shoemakers named Valette
and Tricard. while effecting some re-
pairs to the cellar of the house thew
occupied, discovered a treasure con
sisting Of sum OF money and numer-
GUS valuable books.
The particular part of Limoges
where the residence of the shoemakers
was situated stands on the site of az
ancient monastery, and 1t is thought
That the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is in the reported discov-
cry is not yet known, but 1t is as
serted that the two shoemakers. who
were previously konwn to be in
straitened circumstances, have of re-
cent years lived on a quite different
footing and have been able to pur-
chase numerous house properties in
the district.
Their landlord is now taking nro-
ceedings with view Of testing the

claiming the treasure or at least a

comes quite vapid. But why group
glass and china together? The COM
bination Is as incongruous as ivory
and eggshell porcelain, copper and

china seem heavy, and the deep tones
OF china cause glass to become ufeless.

It will develop a wealth of color pos
