Old Roman Wall u~nearthed.

A part of the wall which once en-
closed old st. Paul's, London. has been
discovered In excavations at the cor
ner of Paternoster Row and st. Pauls
alley In London. The wall, which is
about 60 feet long, is made of chalk
and rubble, and was built in the
twelfth century. On the same site
pieces of a Roman amphora, Roman
vases and some Samian ware have
also been found. Other finds" include
a camel's skull unearthed in High Hol-
born and a large quantity of pipes Of
the eighteenth century. Under some
old stables in Bartholomew Close
one of the oldest parts of London
three Norman arches have been found.
They are close to n another, and
are believed to have formed part Of
the clolsters Of the priory which once
stood on this site.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Woman,s Heart.

That upper earth on which they
lived was covered with a thick blank
ct Of snow. The lakes and pools were
frozen from shore to shore. The
mountain brooks, IL they flowed at all,
ran under thick arches Of ice. The
deepest canons were well nigh impas-
sible from huge drifts that sometimes
almost rose level with the tops of the
walls. In every sheltered spot great
banks of white were massed. The
spreading branches Of the tall pine
trees in the valleys dropped under
heavy burdens Of snow. Only here
and there sharp gaunt peaks were
swept clean by the fierce winter
winds and thrust themselves upward
In icy air, naked and bare. The cold
was polar in its bitter intensity.

out from the mountain side upon

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum from Per
sonal Test.

NO one ia better able to realize the
injurious action of caffeine--the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor. Tea is just as harmful as coffee
because 1t, too, contains the drug caf-
feline.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many Of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
II wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. l have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over is
years, and a part of the time was un-
able to attend to my business.
Il was a moderate user Of coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping 1t and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
l ascribe 1t to the change from coffee
to Postum.
Il am prescribing 1t now In Of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.

ter flavor than coffee, and Is a vital
sustainer OF the system. ] shall con-
tinue to recommend 1t to u people,
