The sudden death of A. G. p. Boyce,
a former Perrysburg resident, lately
residing at Bowling Green, came as a
surprise ito his many friends here.

it was occasioned by ptomaine poison,
while Others think escaping gas was
the cause.

shortly after three o'c ock Sunday
morning by the strange actions of a
large tiger cat and when Mrs. Boyce
arose to let the animal outdoors she
felt ill. Her movements awakened

and succeeded In arousing them. They

II! Health is More Expensive Than
any Cure.
any Cure.

This country is now filled with peo-
pie who migrate across the continent
in all directions seeking that which
gold cannot buy. Nine-tenths Of them
are suffering from throat and lung
trouble or chronic catarrh resulting
from neglected colds, and spending
fortunes vainly trying to regain lost
health. Could every sufferer but un-
do the past and cure that first neg
lected cold, all this sorrow, pain, anx-
iety and expense could have been
avoided. Chamberlain's Cough Rem

More Of Buddha's Ashes Found.


Excavations conducted by the Ar
theological department of the Indian
government near Peshawar have re-
suited in the discovery of an ancient
Buddhist stupa or memorial mound
containing a bronze casket, within
which are some of the ashes of Guat-
ANA Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
They are inclosed in a wrought hex
agonal rock crystal receptacle sealed
with royal seal of the Emperor Kan
ishka, who was ruling in~Peshawar at
the opening of the Christian era.
The discovery is reported to have
taken place on site described by the
Chinese traveller Hieun Tsang in the
record of his journeys in the early
years of the Christian era as being
the position of large Buddhist mon
astery. Prof. A. Foucher of the Sor
bonne, an authority on Buddhist arch
eology, noticed five years ago some
curious mounds in this spot, but had
no appliances for excavation. This
clew has since been followed up by
DR.. Marshall, head of the Indian Arch
Biological department
when Buddha died in 4S2 B. c..
his body was cremated and the ashes
divided in eight parts among his dis
ciples,' said DR.. L. d. Burnett, keeper
of the Oriental books in the British
museum. "One of the vases contain
ing these portions, known as the Pin
rahwa vase, was discovered a few
years ago by government survey
The other six are yet undiscovered"

Ice is now listed as "perishable" In
the household of one young family
man of Philadelphia. During the re-
cent hot spell he arrived home at ten
o'clock at night His wife informed
him that the supply of ice had melted
and she was thirsty for cold lemonade.
Going to his club few blocks away,
the man got from the steward a fair
sized bit of ice, well wrapped and
with a string by which to carry 1t
home. AS he turned to leave the bar
a friend came along, and invited him
to have lust one" He did and re-
turned the compliment. On the street
he met another friend and had "one
more" TO which he also responded in
kind. They were joined by two more
friends and the party discussed the
weather and many more last drinks" :"
Suddenly remembering his errand
he bade hurried goodnight, grasped
the bundle he had set at his feet near
the bar rail and made his way home.
Got it," he said as he met his wife,
Had to go all over town, but got It,"
and he handed her the package.
Adjourning to the kitchen she got
ready the material for the lemonade
for which she had waited so long
while he cut the cord that held to-
gether-just cube-haped wad of pa.
per that held water, the remains of
the ice.
Nor did he square" the story of
"all oyer town" even though he
brought more ice in few minutes.

Government Makes New Rules
Wiping Out Big Graft.
fragrant Abuses In Importation, En-

Loss to Nation Hit by Order Of
Treasury Department.

Washington.-Flag abuses in
fruit Importation, entailing thousands
of dollars of loss to the government,
occurring especially on the-docks at
New York, are aimed at in regulations
proclaimed by Acting Secretary of the
Treasury Reynolds and directed to
collectors of customs and all others
concerned"
The regulations prohibit importers
from delaying for a week or ten days
the filing of claims for allowances for
decay, destruction or injury of fruit
imported but not taken off the docks,
making it impossible for the author
tiles to determine what to allow for
the deterioration of the imports. Cali
fornia fruit raisers took up this ques-
ton with congress at the last session,
contending that the delays operated
to the undue advantage of Italian in
terests, particularly as to oranges and
lemons.
The government is entitled to the
duty on the arrival of the fruit. Forty
eight hours is fixed by the department
under the new circular as the time
within which, after the arrival of the
vessel, importers may file claims for
allowance for shortage or nonimpor-
tation.
Immediately on notice of these
claims the appraisers, under direction
of the collectors, will detail one or

GERMAN SUBSIDY TO AUTOS
Novel Arrangement Has Been Made
to Provide Suitable Equipment
In Case of War.

Neutrality-suspicious. has gone
further than substituting ships by sub.
sidizing automobiles. The German
government is now paying s2,142 to
owners of automobiles of certain types,
which can be seized in time of war,
following five years from date of pur.
chase, and which can be utilized In
military operations.
In order that none but the German
army may benefit by this subsidy, the
provision is made that the subsidy
shall cease when such automobiles are
shipped outside the empire.
The subsidized machines can be &C.
quired only by the purchaser binding
himself to turn them over to the gov.
eminent whenever occasion requires.
Aside from this. however, the gov.
eminent pays certain indemnity to
the owner of such automobiles, the in.
demnity to be fixed by board of mil.
itary appraisers, and this indemnity
to be paid when the machines are ia.
ken for the use of the army.
Consul General s. M. Thackery, at
Berlin, reports that SAFES of such ma.
chimes as are needed by the German
army are not permitted by the Ger
man war Office to be made to foreign

BAllOONING IN JAVA.

An Englishman who is touring Java
giving balloon performances with a
para chute and trapeze went through
a thrilling adventure recently at II
place called Patti. A native holding
one OF the ropes failed to let it go
when the balloon went up with the
aeronaut, and was carried along. AS
he swung on the rope at great height
within view of the horror-stricken
spectators, the aeronaut lowered him
self down the rope until he could hold
the native fast with his feet and
then lifted him till he could grab him
with one hand He then pulled the
man up to the trapeze. The native,
half dead from terror, then did his
best to throw the aeronaut from the
trapeze in order to have the seat all
to himself The aeronaut never lost
hold of the fellow, who, all the while,
kept on clawing and biting him. This
went on for fully IS minutes until 1t
was safe for the aernonaut to come
down with his unwilling companion on
d parachute.

QUEER OLD LONDON CUSTOM

Six ponderous horseshoes, more
than 500 years old, were rendered to
the crown by the city of London cor
poration recently by way of quit rent
for a bygone smithy in the Strand,
and at the same time the city solicit
tor counted out Gil nails, which the
kings remembrancer pronounced to
be good number"
The scene of the ceremony was the
royal courts of justice and among the
crowds of interested onlookers were
the lady mayoress and her two
daughters The corporation also did
fedual service for a piece of land in
Shropshire.
Originally the crown demanded two
knives by way of quit rent, but when
the corporation bought the land 1t
substituted for the knives a sharp hat.
Chef and dull billhook, and these
were offered this year. The sharp.
ness of the Ratchet and the bluntness
of the billhook were duly attested by
the city solicitor upon bundle OF
twigs
By pous fraud the horseshoes and
nails are handed back to the city ev-
cry year to be presented afresh, but
the Ratchet and billhook are often re.
newed, and this year they were pre-.
Sented as a souvenir to the lady
mayoress
