WOULD FUSE WITH THE ORIENT.
Writer Declares That Out of Action
 Would Come a Better Race.

In many respects the orientals are our antithesis, and if our ideals prin- ciples, and institutions are more benefcient. We are under obligation to present them. There should be nc collision between the Mongol and tho Anglo-Saxon races, but instead there should be fusion. Out of this fusion there should emerge better race. We can learn much from the various people of the orient which would be beneficial to ourselves. and while we receive from them we are able to contribute the one great principle of the Anglo-Saxon race, namely, liberty. Every race that has come into power and prominence has stood for some great, overmastering idea. That for which we stand and which is the great touchstone of our great national life Is liberty It is for our nation, as the great western wing of the Anglo-Saxon race. to join in the extension of this principle, and also to bear the mes' sage of peace.-Mason s. Stone, Com missioner of Education of Vermont, in Leslie's Weekly.

had been made of pieces of ash, lin den and oak wood mortised together, but now rotten to the center, though still perfect in shape.
 The most striking results of the in- vestigation was the photographs. 23 in number, of the cloth and embroid- cry patterns, the tattered leather san dals and the tomb. Some of the em- broidery patterns are of remarkable beauty and intricacy
 There was great difficulty in fixing the sandals so that they might be pho tographed, for they were little more than dust that a breath would blow away They had been fitted to the feet of dead man nearly 300 years before Columbus discovered America
 We know of the remarkable scru. tiny that has been given to the mum mified remains of the ancient kings and queens of Egypt; this is probably the first time that the dust of Chris ian prelate has been subjected to similar investigations The ancient processes of preserving the bodies of the dead far excelled those of the Christian era as is strikingly shown in the present case, for the attempt to preserve the body from total decay ut. ierly failed

BURIED 700 YEARS
TOMB OF LONG-DEAD PRELATE
 UNCOVERED.
Evidently Place of Sepulcher of a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church, But His History
 Has Been Lost.


 Workmen at the minister at Basic, Switzerland, while installing a new heating plant a short time ago dis covered in an interior crypt tomb, which has been made the subjec. of curious investigation.
 It was evident that the body en. closed in the stone walls was that of a high fmctionary. It was clad in the vestments of a bishop of the Roman Catholic church. The skeleton hand still clasped the wooden crook sym 5olical of the shepherd.
 Who was the prelate buried in this box of stone? Inquiry showed that the body was that either of Bishop Lutold l.. of Arburg. who died in l2l3, or Of Bishop Heinrich H., of Thun, who died Ia 123S It is known. at least, that the opened tomb contained the re- mains of a man who died nearly TOO years ago.
 The proceedings following this dis covery were somewhat remarkable. A photograph of the open tomb with the body in it was taken with great diff ficulty, for 1t was almost impossible in that narrow underground hole to make clear picture.
 For the purpose of thorough exam nation the body was taken from its bed of centuries to room in the mu scum of the city This was difficult 10 do, for the slightest touch was like ly to crumble anything in the tomb tc dust The examination required two days, and then the remains were buried again. it is hoped, never more to be disturbed
 The body had been embalmed but the process only delayed and did not arrest the process of decay. The tomb consisted simply of slabs of stone ce. mented together. and the remains in their splendid vestments were laid upon a bed of fiat stones placed in DO sition without cement
 The head had been pillowed on a stone scooped out a little. But the head had not survived that interval of seven centuries. Nothing of it was found excepting some handfuls of dust small bit of the lower jaw and few teeth.
 Some of the fingers were covered with skin that had turned to Darch- ment, but they crunbled at touch. A few of the cloths plainly retained their texture and ornamental designs. but the greatest care in handling them ,.ag rentlired ar thev would drop 10 pieces. All were dlscolored so 'ha' they looked like brown tobacco leat Chemical tests were made of some oi the cloth. but nothing of Importance was discovered

SAYS OXEN LAID OUT LONDON
swsyed as They Flowed, Hence the
 Crooked Streets.

Lord Avebury has suggested an ex. planation Of the crocSed streets which have puzzled so many visitors to Lon' don. Presiding at the first of a series of addresses on the history of this city. he said it was remarkable how the London of today bore traces of its ancient history.
 Between London and Westminster there were formerly open fields di. vided into long strips of an acre each. These strips. he said, had a tendency to curvature owing to the way in which the oxen walked while blowing the ground. An instance of that was seen in the curious way in which Longacre curved Several of the strips abutted at right angles on Hyde park, and the fact that they did not end in one line suggested reason for the singular irregularity of the line of houses forming Park lane. The dip in Piccadlly, added Lord Ayebury, was the site of the old stream, part Of which formed the Serpentine.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Mena People Should Learn to Detect the
 Approach of Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys excrete thick. cloudy, of- fensive urine, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding. The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and VIC i'm is often weighted down by feeling of languor and fatigue. Neglect these warnings and there is danger of dropSy, Bright s Disease. or diabetes. Any one of these symptoms IS warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal.
 You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is Wena proof;

Tt doesn't pay to raise chickens in a small way" said suburbanite. for the reason that you can only eat the eggs, never the chickens themselves :"
 But why can't you eat the chick ens?" inquired the mans partner
 Could you eat your canary or your dog? No. And for much the same req son you cant eat your chickens For they are pets, as dogs or canaries are. You have raised them, and they have learnt to know you, they have names that they answer to, they follow you eDout the yard-in word, they like you. and you like them"
 He shuddered.
 'I remember when we killed aud stewed Mary Jane She had stopped laying; she was long past that stage. so we murdered her and tried to eat her.

pr cochran's Head Grazed by Stray Ball and Walter Goss Gets Shot
 Over the Heart.
TWO CLOSE CALLS SUNDAY
One Boy Was Shooting Pigeons While the Other Did Not Know It Was Loaded Small Guns and Luck
 Prevents Serious Results.

Sunday in Mena is not a day especially set aside for the use ot firearms, in fact like other good communities the contrary IS the rule. Nevertheless two accidents occurred during the day. In one it was a streak of bad fate that caused a stray ball to glance from the head of pedestrian who was walking iu the most thickly settled residence part of the city. In the other case the old fool thought that "it wasn't loaded" caused the accident and the fact that it was small gun aud the good luck that it hit a rib pre- vented what would otherwise have been certain death.
 At about seven a. ID. James Hewlett, son of Mir, and Mrs. K. l.. Hewlett, who reside at 30l Ninth street, was in the alley with a P rife shooting at pig cons for the Sunday dinner. At tho same time Dr. Cochran, who lives in the same block was re- turning from a professional call and when about a block away was struck in the head with ball from the Hewlett boys gun. The shock knocked the doctor down but he quickly recovered and hurred on home. He did not see the Hewlett boy or know whence the shot came from, but as he came in view of the alley there was James still looking for pigeons. Upon learning the re- suit of his former shot James was much surprised. He had not seen bis ueighbor.
 A physician was summoned and an examination showed that the ball had passed through Dr Cochran's hat jast over the left ear at such au angle that 1t cut the scalp making a wound about au inch iu length and passed on out. The injury is not serious.
 Two Boys and a Pistol.
 Sunday afternoon Wallace, Goss, son Of Mrs. l.. A. Goss, who conducts the Star Restaur- ant on Sherwood avenue, and Gould Jones, an orphan boy, the grandson of Nj. F. Jones, were playing with one of those toy pistols that are made to shoot blank cartridges. but will shoo, ball cartridge if placed in them.
 The Jones boy had just come iu possession ot the pistol and did not know it was loaded. They played with it uutll there was nothing else to te investigated except Co snap the hammer, and this Jones did, pointing lt at the breast of his companion, aud once again the same old sceue which has stddened SD many homes was enacted. ouiY iu this case kind fortune caused the ball Go strike a rib just over the heart. Thefe was not enough force 10 send it ou through, SO DO serious harm was done. A variation Of half au iach either up or down would probably have resulted in death.
