FARMER MAKES A FIND.
Julian Duprront Of Michigan Digs Up
Relic Dated "t4e8."

Traverse City, Mich.-Friends Of
Julian Duprront of Provement wonder
who is trying to make him appear
foolish. Duprront plowed up a stone
in one of his fields, and it bears date
six years later than the time when
Columbus discovered America.
The stone Is almost skull shaped
and Is of hard variety common along
the beach of Lake Michigan. On 1t is
carved rude portrait of a mans face
and below this is the date "149S,"
while above 1t are the initials 81. A.
T." On the other side is a poorly
drawn picture of bird and an imple-
ment resembling sword. There are
numerous other marks, but the action
of water or other agencies has rem
dered them illeglble. The figures, let
tering and portraits are apparently Of
great age. Duprront would not have
noticed it, as stones are common in
the fields. but the image side happened
to be uppermost.
Duprront believes the find is genu-
Inc and will eventually make him rich.
He says 1t means that portion OF Co
lumbus' expedition was left behind
and in some manner made their way
to the mainland and. pursued by In
dians, or still seeking the northwest
passage, wandered into this region
five centuries ago.

As SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOTBALL.
Writer Suggests That Flowing Matches

A blowing match will help to inter
est boys in farming, and perhaps be
quite as profitable in the end as

managed by measuring off equal tracts
to be plowed by each contestant, the
time being noted at the start and
limited time allowed for finishing the
track. The contest is to be judged
by the straightness OF the burrows,
the evenness of the burrows both as
to depth and width, and the amount
of land plowed within the time limit,
after which suitable prizes are award
ed. Stock judging contests, butter

BARS KNEELINe IN CHURCHES.
Mexican Law Also Requires Edlfees
to Be Dlsinfected.

Mexico City, Mex.-The state of
Chihuahua has taken an advanced
step In the matter of regulating its
churches, theaters and other public
buildings.
The most radical reform embraced
in the new rules is that which pro-
hibits worshipers from kneeling or sit
ting upon the floors of churches. It
has been the custom ever since the
first church was established In Mexico
for many devout people to kneel be.
fore shrines or to sit upon the floor of
the edifices for hours at a time. The
practice is generally followed by the
lower classes.
The new REGULATIONS also require
that all the churches shall be thorough
ly dislnfected after each service and
that the buildings shall be kept clean
and in first class sanitary condition.
In churches and theaters there must
be an ample supply of seats for all.
Fire protection must be provided, and
every building must be so equipped
as TO afford good ventilation.
The older churches in the state were
erected at a time when no regard was
paid to sanitation or ventilation. They
must be modernized so a to comply
with the new edict.

Plant Like a Camel.

The nearest thing to camel among
plants is a curious specimen of tho
cucumber family which bears the
name of the Ibervillea sonorae. This
plant, like the camel, is native of the
desert and 1t has TO go without water
longer than the animal.
AS the rainy season in the desert
comes only once a year nature pro-
yides the |. S. with a reservoir to
store up enough moisture to last IL
between times. The organ in which
the water is stored is located at the
base of the stem. 1t is covered with
sort of macintosh envelope,
through which the water can neither
escape nor evaporate.
This water holder rests on the sand
throughout the entire period Of
drought, but when the rain comes II
springs into activity.

NEW VERSES FOR GOSPELS.
Result Of Recent Discovery Of Biblical
Manuscripts.

Chicago.-Several new verses to
one of the Gospels will be given to
the world soon when the Archaeological
Institute of America will meet at the
University OF Chicago and make
known the existence in America of
certain Biblical manuscripts which
have recently been discovered.
The announcement will be made by
Prof. II. A. Sanders of the University
of Michigan. The manuscripts were
brought to America recently from
Egypt by Charles L. Freer. The manu-.
scripts bear on the text not only OF
the four Gospels. but OF the ancient
Greek version of Psalms and Deuteron-
omy as well.

Uncle Sam are printed by the plate

costly as well as the most perfect Of
all processes of taking printed i'm
preston. Like all of our paper money
and the bonds and stocks certificates
admitted to trading on the New York
stock exchange the postage stamps
are printed from steel engravings. An
engraved plate differs radically from
the printing surfaces used In the or.
binary typographical processes, in that
the lines which carry the ink are sunk
below the surface Of the plate and
the pigment which remains on the pa

printing press Is taken, not from the
surface OF the plate, as is the case In
topographic printing. but from the
sunken lines. BY this process II Is
possible to make a much finer design
than 1t would be possible to print from
a topographic cut" as may be seen
any postage stamp or piece of paper
currency with the finest wood cut or
other example of topographic art.
The cost of manufacturing postage
stamps is further increased by the
necessity of cumming the backs; but
the perfection of the machinery which
carries out this process, together with
the small size of the stamps, makes
the total cost inconsiderable when
compared with the selling price.
The printed sheets of stamps pass

BANlSHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot
fee even after they know It is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But 1t is an
easy matter to give It up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years. but kept drinking
coffee.
zone day asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin OF mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought It would be terrible to
give II up.
Finally. one day, she made the
change to Postum. and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
a taste.
THAT started me on Postum and |
now drink IL more freely than / did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend OF mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked If It
was coffee. told her 1t was Postum
and gave her some TO take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
THE next day she said she did not
see how l could drink Postum. found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee
So l told her how to make it right
und gave her a cupful j made. after

she never drank any coffee that tasted

Death Rate Reduced Thirty Per Cent.
Since Passage Of Act Of 1891.

London. - What wonderfully
healthy place London would appear to
be in spite of its black spots is shown
by striking report from the pen OF
Sir Shirley Murphy, medical officer Of
health for London county. In compar-
ing London with other towns, how.
ever, Il should be remembered that
the metropolis has health act, passed
in 1891, which gives the local authori.
ties far greater powers than those
possessed by the sanitary districts in
the provinces.
How valuable, indeed, how neces.
sary are these powers, Is proved by
Sir Shirley Murphy's statement that
since the act was passed the London
death rate has diminished by over 30
per cent, and that this means saving
in each OF the last two years of over
10, 900 lives, which, in its turn, means
an addition to the life capital of Lon,
don OF three-quarters of million
years. The London death rate is for
the year under review 1871 per 1000,
which is less than that OF any other
town with more than 100000 inhab.
itants, except Bristol and Leicester.
An analysis OF the London figures,
however. reveals that the changes of
life are much greater in some parts
of the metropolis than in others. The
death rate varies from "a in Hemp.
stead to 207 In Finsbury. The infant
mortality figures tell the same story.
