FOUND ANCIENT RELIC.

While one of the gardeners In
Broomhall gardens was digging a
trench recently, says the London
Globe, he came upon an ancient sand
bed. On further excavations being
made for the purpose of sucuring
sand for gardening purposes, huge
bone was discovered. The bone is
believed to be one of the vertebrae
of whale or other great sea mon
ster. If that be SO, the waters of
the Firth of Forth must have ex-
tended at least quarter. of a mile
farther inla at some very remote
period. The osseous find was de-
posted in Lord Elgin's museum at
Broomhall.

TO TAKE PLACE OF COTTON
Common Nettle Found to Have valu.
able FIbcrs That Make Luz
trous White Yarn.

The search for cotton substitute
has been going in Europe for long
time, and many experiments have
been made with the common nettle,
which has been a promising plant on
account Of the strength Of its fiber
and its ready growth wild under the
most discouraging conditions, with
large yield per acre.
The great difficulty has been in
separating the fiber from the woody
stem. In a method Of treatment that
has been worked out in the last
two or three years the dried nettle
stems are boiled about an hour in
dilute soda lye, and the loosened
fibers are then separated in a ma
chine with revolving brushes.
The material is then subjected to
a number Of alternate boilings in di-
lutte lye and thorough washings, both
under high pressure.
The product is a mass Of yellow
ish fibers free from gum, that can
be bleached, combed and spun into
lustrous white yarn. This is
claimed to have the smoothness and
softness of fax, with strength
even greater than that Of hemp.
The yarn has been made into bril-
liant damask, and can be used
alone or with other threads-for up
holsteries, ribbons and variety of
fabrics.-Chicago Tribune.

FAVOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Woman suffrage in England is adj
vocated not only by the Women's So
cial and Political union, with a
comparatively small membership,
but also by the Conservative and
Unionist Women's Franchise asso-
citation, the Liberal suffragists of
the Women's Liberal federation,
which now numbers over $4,000; !;
the Peoples Suffrage federation,
which has over four hundred socie-
ties and branches; the suffragists of
the Labor party, of which the mem
bership is over one million. Other
bodies which have supported the suf-
frage are the British Women's Tenn
perance association, numbering no.
600 members the Scottish Union of
the same, with its $4,000 members,
and the Women's Cooperative
Guild.

RUSSIA HOLDS FIRST PLACE
That Country Is Now the Greatest
Wheat Producer, With United
States Second.

In the last twenty-five years great
changes have taken place in the
worlds production of wheat. In Eu-
rope the land devoted to it has in
creased over one-fourth; in the rest
Of the world it has doubled.
In 1870 France was at the head Of
the wheat producers, followed by the
United States, India, Russia, Ger
many, etc.
Today Russia holds the first place
the United States is still second,
while France is third. Fourth place
is held by the Argentine Republic,
which has increased its production
ten times; Canada and Italy follow.
In amount produced per acre the
smaller countries have their turn.
Holland headed the list in 1879, fol-
lowed by Denmark, England, Nor
way, Belgium, Sweden, France. To-
day the order is Denmark, Holland,
Belgium, England, Germany, Swe-
den, Norway, Canada, France, Ja-
pan.
One encouraging feature Of these
statistics is that the maximum pro-
duction per acre has increased more
than 80 per cent.

A writer in the Electrical Re.

QUICK REToRT CAUSES WOE
And Now Kentucky Husband Is Busy
Explaining the Joke to
His Wife.

In Louisville a young husband is
doing everything in his power to
make his young wife understand that
a remark he made the other evening
was a joke. But wifey is still pout-
ing and hubby has taken a solemn
resolve never to speak before he
thinks.
A number of friends were calling
on the newly married pair when the
young wife in question in the course
of conversation remarked:
"Flat life is new to me, and I'm
just sick for some flowers"
Sweetheart, l know a way you
can get whole lot of them," flashed
back the husband.
''How?" asked the wife with inter
est.
"Die."
And since then the husband has
been bringing home great punches of
flowers and innumerable boxes Of
candy.-Louisville Times.

SIMPLICITY.

Simplicity is the elimination of
the non-essential in all things. 1t
reduces life to its minimum of real
needs; raises it to its maximum of
powers. Simplicity means the sur
vival-not of the fittest, but of the
best. In morals it kills the weeds
of vice and weakness SO that the flow
ers of virtue and strength may have
room to grow. Simplicity cuts off
waste and intensifes concentration.
1t converts Pickering torches into
searchlights.-From "Self- Control .

EACH MAN HIS LIFE ENGINE.

AS the engine is the iron express
sion of the engineers purpose, and
the smoking, steaming embodiment
of the engineers soul, SO character
is both the engineer and his engine,
it is the man and his instrument
which he uses to draw along his
train of influence through the world.
Out of a great deal of material, lying
loose about him, every man makes
his life engine, and it generally rep
resents him and embodies him and
embodies his ideas of life.-Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus.
