LONDON'S OLD ROMAN WALL

Visitors to London whose tastes lie in the d.
rection of exploring ancient remains will be graft
fed to learn that the Society of Antiquaries has
succeeded in securing the preservation of very
fine fragment of the great Roman wall around
London, which has just been laid bare, London
letter to the New York Sun says. From time to
time portions of the great structure, the external
wall of defense built about the city in the fourth
fifth century. have been uncovered in digging
foundations while rebuilding streets houses
These have rarely escaped demolition The latest
discovery is to be preserved for the benefit OF
the public.
1t is situated near Newgate street. close to
of the general postoffice. The frag
ment, which is that of a great curved bastion
is 80 feet long, 20 feet high and feet wide. The
present summit lies several feet below the sur
face of the ground. The whole is In a wonderful
state of preservation.
The material is that known as "Kentish rag"
supported by heavy Roman bricks and showing
clearly the characteristic layers bands of red
tiles, such may be seen at Burgh castle, Pc
vensey and Marlborough. The interesting relic Is
to be built around, that it will lie in a cave
which may be entered by stairs and inspected by
artificial light. The line of the great Roman wall
is well known and much of it undoubtedly re-
mains below the houses to-day which are largely
built upon it as upon the securest of foundations

POLE FAKER OF LONG AGO

1t is told of titled Englishman that when his
son explained his folly in going down coal mine
by saying that he spoiled his clothes so as to be
able to say that he had performed the feat, re-
piled: why did you say that you had been down
the mine and did not go?" This method appears
to have been followed by one James Knox de
Bolduc, a monk who according to Paris con-
temporary, says the Army and Navy Journal
made his polar voyage in 1865. This is the pole
described by this Bolduc:
AT the pole one finds the place where all the
waves of the concentrate to disappear in the

Emeralds are usually cut in simpler form than
diamonds and the corundum, ruby family of
gems. The table cut, square or oblong, with

great cabochon emeralds, divided by four large
diamonds sodered on them
If the diamonds had been replaced with tur-

suffer any more and live.
Finally l got down so sick with
catarrh of the stomach that | could
not turn over in bed, and my stomach
did not digest even milk. The doctor
finally told me that If did not give up
drinking coffee would surely die, but
1 felt could not give it up.
However, Husband brought home a
package of Postum and it was made
strictly according to directions. 1t
was the only thing that would stay
on my stomach, and | soon got SO

Gradually / began to get better, ana
week by week gained in strength and
health. Now l am in perfect condt-
ton, and am convinced that the whole
cause of my trouble was coffee drink
ing, and my getting better was due to
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum.
