LOST CEMETERY is LOCATED
Bones of Men Killed in War of 1912
Discovered on River Bank Near
Monroe, Mich.

Toledo, O.-What is believed to be
a famous lost cemetery of the War of
1912 has been discovered along the
north bank of the River Roisin, lust
east of Monroe, Mich, by the contrac-
tors engaged in eXcavating for the
mill of the River Roisin Paper COM
pany.
AS the work progresses piles of hui
man bones are uncovered, evidently
bodies that had been buried in one
large grave; then will come a skele-
ton of some white man, while a few
feet away the remains of an Indiais
will be uncovered.
The other day the body, evidently
that of soldier, was uncovered, witk
the skull cleft, as if a tomahawk haG
pierced the brain.
A large brass letter &c" was with
the bones, showing that the wearen
was a member of c company. A Short
distance away the skeleton of an In
dian squaw. was uncovered.
This locality in the war of 1872 was
the scene of the battle and massacre
of the River Roisin, when 1000 Amert.
can troops, mostly Kentuckians, were
surprised by the English and Indians
and massacred.
The bodies were left where thew
had fallen, but were buried several
months later by the old settlers i'm
one grave. The interment of the
bones was forgotten and those who
buried them passed away, so that
none of the present generation knew
the location of the old cemetery.

ment, If it's trying nature is not feared.
Sunshine and the Tresses.
During the past few weeks one has
been often distressed by the sight of
girls going about bare-headed, with
the mistaken idea that sunshine is
good for the hair. The excessive heat
of the sun has the same effect on the
hair as has a too hot curling-iron,
making it dry and crisp. Light and
air in ordinary doses are excellent for
the hair, but not the direct rays of Old
Sol. If the follicles of the hair have
been exposed to too much sunshine,
powerful tonic should be applied, or
black locks will become rusty, brown
ones will have faded yellow spots, and
blonde hair will take to itself the color
OF ash. Salt water, too, is very in
furious, and should be well shampooed
out of the hair. Even if Mrs. Nature
has, according to your judgment, erred
distress you greatly, when hairdress-
ers manufacture more than 60 shades
OF hair coloring, which is proved to be
quite harmless and as permanent as
such thing could possibly be.
Fashionettes.
Stockings have never before played
such an important part in womans
apparel as they do at present. The
latest fad is to wear two pair, of the
sheerest texture of course, in order to
reproduce the shot effect. The result
is like the mixing of oil paints. Bronze
over gold is a favorite combination,
and blue over yellow produces fas-
cinating peacock-blue hue. Black over
green stockings, green parasol, black
dress with green touches-there' a
picture for you!
Mole-gray and pale blue silk is a
happy union which will be often en-
countered in millinery schemes during
the coming season. There may also
be faint glimmer Of pink included.

hot, and get some one to hold it large
side up, as you will need both hands
for the velvet. Place wet cloth over
the iron and pass the velvet within an
inch of it, back and front, to receive
the steam, and the velvet will come
out looking like new.
To Clean Corsets.
Some people, when the corsets are
soiled, always send them to the clean
er's, but with little care corsets can
be washed at home most successfully.
First of ALL rip the front seams on
both sides, and take out the steels. If
these are left in there will be certain
to be stains from iron rust after the
washing. Make a soap jelly by
shredding half a pound of soap in a
quart of boiling water, and simmering
till the soap Is dissolved. Then if the
washing water is soft, two tablespoon
fuls of this jelly will be sufficient, add
ed to half a gallon of water. Soak
the corsets in these suds for five min
utes. Spread them on a board and
scrub with nail-brush, dipping them
now and then to rinse off the loosened
dirt When perfectly clean, rinse
| through two warm waters and hang
up to dry. Before entirely dry iron on
the wrong side with cool iron.

NECK DEEP In WELL
KANSAS WOMAN HOLDS UP BABY
FOR EIGHT HOURS.
Child Fell Through Trap and Mother
Plunged After lt-HeId 1T Above
the Water Until Husband Re-
turned.

Sedan, Kan.-Mrs. John Burch, wife
of a young farmer living near here,
saved her child from drowning in a
cistern by plunging into the water
after it and holding it in her arms
above the water until help came eight
hours later.
The baby, less than two years old,
was playing about the cistern when
the trap door on the platform gave
way under her weight and she fell
into the water, many feet below. The
mother saw the child disappear under
the water and leaped into the cistern
after it. The water was five feet deep,
and Mrs. Burch, immersed to her
neck, had hard work to keep the child
above the water.
The hours went by and seemed like
ages to the mother. She screamed for
help time after time, but no one was
near. Then came darkness, and Mrs.
Burch believed she would have to
spend the whole night there.
She was growing weaker all the
time, and tried to ease her benumbed
arms by shifting her tender burden
constantly. She thought her husband
would surely hear her at supper time,
but he was late returning from work.
Between her calls she comforted the
frightened child.
When her husband came in about
eight o'clock from his fields he
searched the house and then the barn,
then the orchards for his wife and
baby. Finally he thought of the cis-
tern, and turning his steps toward it,
heard his wife calling, and quickly res
cued them. The wife collapsed com.
pletely from the strain after being car.
