M. Lucien Magne, the French in
spector general of historical monu-
ments, has made one of the most re-
markable discoveries of recent years
In the old abbey of Fontevrault. That
certain of England's kings and queens
were buried there was well known,
but 1t has always been told that the
tombs were rifled many years ago.
Henry II. and Richard L. were buried
there. as were the wives of King John
and Henry II.
The architects who were engaged
in restoring the abbey. after digging
down to the original level of the nave
and demolishing the seventeenth-cen-
fury partition, discovered traces of in
scriptions and paintings in an arched
recess of the northwest wall of the
transept 1t would seem that the abb
bess, Louise Of Bourbon, in redecora-
ting the cloisters had closed I'D the
opening of the tombs, and hence they
had escaped being rified as SO many
other tombs were in the revolutionary
movement of 1889 AndIso they are
unearthed today-the actual remains
of Richard the Lion-Heart. and of his
father Here the Psychologists and
other onlookers had before them all
that remains of the once fiery Richard.
The most curious detail, however, is
that the sixteenth-century builders,
who transferred the tombs of the

A NOVEL AERO SPRINKLER

George T. Hulsizer of Living ,ton.
N. j., has successfully applied the
science of aviation to agriculture in
a manner that may be adopted by
other grangers in that section to off
set the effect of the annual dry spell.
Hulsizer's plants suffered severely
during the dry weather, so, being of a
mechanical turn of mind, he rugged up
biplane glider" the dimensions of
which about equalled an old style
Wright machine To this he attached
a 100-gallon boiler and equipped 1t
with a sprinkler. At the end of
rope attached to windlass it rose
from the force of the wind in the air
and when it had reached the right po-
sition over the farm the sprinkler was
opened by pulling cable. The water
descended in a refreshing shower on
the plants, and the field was sprinkled
by simply drawing in or unWinding

also one of the most distinguished.
Mrs Brandon Is one hundred and ten
years of age, is hale and hearty and
does her own homework, washing,
ironing, scrubbing, and tends tiny
garden In the rear of her humble
home just on the outskirts of the city.
She has seldom been i'll during her
long and strenuous career, and then
only with slight colds. headaches, ana
such minor ailments.
Almost one hundred years ago Mrs.
Brandon, but slip of a girl. while
playing with her little brother, SUI
fered an accident, the marks of which
she has carried through life. The boy
and girl were playing Indian, and In
discharging his crossbow, the young
ster shot out the right eye of his lit
tie sister.
This venerable lady was married at
the age of fifteen to man much
her senior. The couple were then
living In Ohio, their native state.
Twenty-three children. two sets OF
twins, blessed their union, only one
girl Sixteen of the boys served III
the Civil war, fourteen fighting On the
Union and two on the Confederate
side, while all escaped the severe &C
tons with their lives. Every one was
wounded in battles, Evan, the young
est, now seventy years old, being shot
or stabbed II times, bearing the scars
today.
For producing the most soldiers OF
any woman for the war, Mrs. Bran
don's picture adorns the national gal
lery at Washington, while at Column
bus, O., she has been similarly non
ored by Der native state.
She is smoker and says that her
pipe Is her only comfort as the weight
of years bears upon her. Tobacco OF
the strongest variety is the only kind
suited to her taste, and her teeth are
worn away where she clamps the pipe
stem.
Her husband has long since been
dead, but ten Of her sons still live, and
all are the fathers of large families.
Her Oldest, now eighty-nine, boasts
that he never suffered sick day In
his life. He is a millworker, and lives
at Bellaire, o. Her youngest, Evan,
Is coal miner and seldom loses a
days work, though he was recently
badly mashed by fall of slate. He
has nine children. all grown.
Beside receiving personal notice
from tho government for her song war
service, the aged woman receives
liberal pension, owing to her husband
having also been a soldier. Each pen
sion day, the stopped figure may be
seen vending its way toward the coun-
ty clerks Office, where she receives
her check, then tramping back to her
cottage, a distance of over three miles.
Beside this, Mrs. Brandon also makes
her weekly pilgrimage to market. re-
turning with a well-filled basket of
vegetables and staples on her arm.

Plantagenets to this side chapel, did
not hesitate to bend forward the up
per part Of Henry lis skeleton down
to the lower part In order to shorten
the tomb so that it might serve to
support the vaulted arch designed to
protect the second pair of tombs; and
he who died of broken heart through
the ingratitude of his sons was thus
cruelty and irreverently maltreated
after death. It Is believed that the re-
mains Of all four sovereigns will be
reburied under it's own funeral monu-
ment at the entrance to the choir of
the newlv-restored abbey.

DOCTORS FAILED AGAIN.
the GREAT KIDNEY
REMEDY SAVED HIM

About ten years ago I suffered severely
with Inflammation of the neck of the blad-
der and was also troubled considerably
nights by numerous desires to urinate.
One night l was compelled to get up
from my bed nineteen times. I had sew
eral doctors but their prescriptions
seemed to have but little effect. At last
upon the recommendation of friend
| tried DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and
found immediate relief.
I began to get well after the first half
dozen doses, and am now in an ordinary
state of good health. I consider Swamp
Root cured me and believe it is fine
tonic and an unrivaled bladder remedy.
