Rocks In Which They Are Preserved
Dsnote Their Age.
Fossil remains of prehistoric animals
wouid not have been preserved and
banded down to us through all the ages
had these remains been exposed to the
air.
Fortunately for the scientists Of to-
day. when these animals persisted the
rock which holds their remains was
merely soft mud or drifting sand. It
encompassed the carcass Of the animal,
held it tight from air and water and
during the intervening ages passed
through the various processes until 1t
became solid rock.
Some Of these remains. even those
Of the oldest animals, have been dis
covered quite close to the surface. This
Is because the crust Of the earth Is
like paper wrapping. folding and
crumbling under the pressure Of the
gases and fire Of the interior, with the
result that here and there the crust has
been turned upside down, so that the
lower strata Of rock are on top.
And 1t is the particular stratum of
rock that reveals the approximate age
Of the animal. Biologists, on examina,

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

Tho Famous Case Of lesurques Of the
Lyons Mail
The most famous Of all cases Of mis-
taken identity is that Of Lesurques
charged with the robbery and murder
Of the courier Of the Lyons mail, the
incidents Of which were woven into
the old dramatic play 1.-THE Lyons
Mall"
Lesurques was positively identified
Us a man who had Travelled by the mail
coach. and he was In due course con-
victed. Yet at the eleventh hour q
woman came into court and declared
his innocence, swearing that the wit
nesses had mistaken him for another,
Duboscq, whom he greatly resembled.
She was the conHdant Of one Of the
gang who had planned and carried out
the robbery. But her testimony, al.
though corroborated by other confed-
crates, was rejected, and Lesurques re-
calved sentence Of death. LesurQues
died protesting his innocence to the
last. Four years elapsed before Du
bOscq was captured. In the interval
others Of the gang had passed through
the hands of the police, but the prime
mover was only now taken. Even
then he twice escaped from prison.
When finally be was put on his trial
and the Judge ordered fair wig. such
as Lesurques had worn, to be placed
on his head, the strange likeness was
Immediately apparent. he denied his
guilt but was convicted and guillo-
tined. Thus two men suffered for one

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message sug.
costing an amendment to the Pure Food
and Drugs law In its relation to Prepared
Medicines, does not refer to such stand
ard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both
of which are true medicines carefully
compounded of ingredients whose medi'
cinai qualities are recognized by the
medical profession itself az the best
known remedial agents for the diseases
they are intended TO counterfeit. Fol
over three decades Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound has been standard
remedy for coughs, colds and affections
of the throat, chest and lungs for chill
dren and for grown persons, and 1t re.
tains to-day it's prominence above all
other preparations of its kind. Foley

Helps for Wash Day.
WASHING THE CLOTHES.

WASHING THE CLOTHES.
The manner in which ono housekeeper
solved her laundry problem may help
another. On Monday the clothes were
gathered together, sorted and al stains
removed; the white clothes were put TO
soak in the afternoon, and after supper
were put on to boil with washing
powder and soap; they were stirred
several times during the boiling process.
After twenty minutes, they were taken
from the stove, put in tub, cold water
poured over them and loft until morn
ing. The tubs of rinse water were now
filed for use on the following day. In
the morning a. soon a. breakfast was
over, the clothes that had been boiled
were rubbed on tho board, while the
towels and similar articles were put on
to boil. The first clothes were soon
ready for the line, and the washing was
finished in the early morning hours be-
fore the heat of the day made the work
oppressive. Another point in favor OF
this plan 10 that In summer the greater
part of the boiling Of the clothes Ia done
at night when the kitchen Is un0ccupied,
and as result the room is not 80 warm
during the remainder of the washing.
Then, too, the work 10 80 divided that it
is much less laborious than when all
done in one day.
REMOVING IRON RUST.
This is sometimes caused by Q ohemi-
cal action of soap and bluing when the
clothes are not properly rInsed, but
whatever the cause, 1t may be removed
by applying salt and lemon juice to the
dampened spots and placing In the sun
or near the fire for ten minutes. Rinse
thoroughly.

QUEST OF THE
MAGIC MIRROR

Prince Rupert was the only son OF
the king and queen Of Navarro. He
was twelve years old and had been
utterly spont by his parents. One
night his fairy godmother came to him
and gave Him ring which II be turn
ed II twice on his finger and wished at
the same time would enable him to go
anywhere he pleased. With the help
of this ring she hoped he might IND
the magic mirror. which showed Its
possessor any one or anything be
wished to see.
In the morning Prince Rupert asked
his mother for a holiday. She at nrst
refused, but be dew into a rage. and
then she at once consented. for she
feared passions were not good for his
health. He next. to the queens hor
ror. put some jam tarts and strawber
ries in his pocket and started for the
highest mountain in the land. AS he
reached its summit Rupert was daz
zled by a blaze of light. and be did not
see a pink cloud which fioated near him
until he heard the voice Of sky nymph
who was sitting ON 1t calling to him to
jump up beside her. He did so. and
she said. II am the nymph Of the
setting sun: I shall lead you through
the land of sunset. where perhaps you
may find the magic mirror"
The sun had long since descended
into the sen. and Prince Rupert's lit
tie cloud had reached the edge OF Il
