REMAINS OF ROMAN SHELTER
intensely Interesting Discovery Said
to Have Been Made in the
North of England.

A lady member Of the Cumberland
and Westmoreland Antiquarian so
ciety of England has had the good for
tune to discover what is believed to be
a Roman bloomery, or ancient smelt-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
to the place by the work Of moles,
which recently exposed some of the
remains, and again later by the burn
ing of the whins formerly concealing
the hearth and other features of the
bloomery, near Forest How.
BY some exploration with spade,
she traced the foundations of a large
hearth, twelve yards in diameter, and
a number of heaps Of cinders, Stag
and ore; and she also turned up spec
linens of Roman tiles, with pottery,
Stag and hematite. The size of the
hearth of the Forest How bloomery
marks it as quite different from the
ordinary north-country medieval iron
furnaces, which run from seven to
nine or ten feet in diameter, for the
one just found is twelve yards across.
This appears to be worth further ex-
ploration and probably money for that
purpose will be found.

A Filipino Vassar.

What the occidental ideals Of univer-
sal opportunities of education are to
mean to women of the Orient takes on
a large significance with the estab-
lishment in the Philippines of a uni
versity for girls only. This university
is to be part of an educational group
called Centre Escolor de Senoritas,
where until now the instruction to
girls has been only in the primary,
secondary and intermediate grades.
That this Filipino Vassar will develop
traditions characteristic of girls col
leges in the United States cannot be
doubted by anyone who has observed
how Fundamentally though shyly, girl
students from the Orient have en-
tered into the undergraduate studies,
festivities and pastimes at American
colleges.

Hadn't Seemed to Work.

An Oldish man in rusty-brown clothes
and with a rusty-brown beard met up
with pin. 1t was shining sharply
bright on a tagging, and he stopped
to pick it up.
He had stiff joints and his fingers
were in that state informally known
as bungly. SO he had trouble picking
up the pin.
A young man paused to offer his
services, but the old one refused. He
just grunted and grumbled until at last
victory came his way. Then he
Strengthened up his rickety joints and
put hand on his back.
I'm not as young as I used to be-"
he admitted, as genially as his joints
would allow. ''But you know the old
saying:
"'See a pin and let it lay, you'll
have bad luck all the day. See a pin
and pick it up and you are sure to have
good luck
$50 | never pass one by"
And yet he didn't look as lucky as
a man ought to be who had made
life habit of picking up pins.-Wash-

HAPPY NATIVES OF SARAWAK
Under Wise Government People Live
Easy Lives in Their GloriousIy
Fertile Country.

The tribe of Kayans, inhabiting the
head waters Of the Baram and Rejang
rivers of Sarawak, have lived for un-
known generations almost isolated in
the interior of the island of BorneO.
There are many reasons for believing
them to be originally of Caucasian
origin. Many of them have very light
skin. and they probably reached Bor-
neo by way of the Malay peninsula
from lower Burma Rigid discipline
is characteristic of the domestic me-
mage. resulting in good manners and
recognition of authority.
For good many years Sarawak
was under the Independent govern
ment of white rajah. Sir Charles
Brooke, who controlled his mingled
subjects with unusual wisdom and
sympathy. Among other far-sighted
edicts he instituted stringent game
laws, SO that the island is one Of the
best protected parts of the world in
this respect. Birds, beasts and butter
flies are protected, not more than two
specimens of any one species being
allowed to the collector. In this way
the very beautiful and rare trees and
insects of the country are being main
tanned for the enjoyment of future
generations
Another wise move of the rajah
was to continue the native costume
what there is of tn place of intro
ducing the unsuitable, ugly and arti-
fetal modern clothing of Europeans.
This, as Stevenson points out, has
usually exactly the opposite effect
from that intended by well-meaning
missionaries, and the happy natives of
Sarawak are very well off as they are

GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA
Explorers in Northwestern Canada
Have Photographic Studies Of
Wilderness Wild Life.

After a three years. hunt with the
river district in northwestern Canada,
I'll. A. Stewart and John Sonnickson
have come back to civilization by way
of Peace river, Alberta, bringing sew
eral thousand Photographic studies of
the manners and customs Of the wild
life Of those remote woods and
streams. The explorers, for they we'll
deserve the name, worked into the
wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope
and the forks Of the Findlay and
Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Ora
hame. Their negatives illustrate the
habits of the ptarmigan, moose, beav-
er, Canadian wild geese and other an
imals and birds that have seldom been
observed with anything like thorough
ness by means of the camera. The
travellers had devices of various sorts
whereby their subjects were enticed
to spots upon which the hidden lenses
were focused; and upon reaching
these spots an ambushed camera man
snapped" them by twitching a long
cord attached to the lens shutter. A
single negative of some specially shy
animal was often the only fruit Of
many hours of patient waiting. Some
times for days the explorers would
watch single spot through their field
glasses awaiting the favorable mo-
ment to "sheot." But it was all
worth it.

Flax in the War.

With the restoration of industry on
peace-time basis, cotton once again,
according to recent authoritative state
ments, FORCES ahead of linen in the
worlds favor. The exigencies of the
recent conflict raised flax to the posi-
ton as leader among fabrics, rank
which it had held for centuries but had
lost almost simultaneously with the
advent of the cotton gin. With real
ization of the Importance of cotton in
the making of munitions, there came a
speedy reversion to linen for the
more commonplace usages-waistcoats,
sails for ships, even "wings" for air
planes having lately consisted Of ma
terial woven from the sun-hued fiber.
But flax has reached the end of its
days of monopoly. King Cotton now
rises to the fore in ordinary pursuits,
and linen once again becomes the
aristocrat in this field of supply.

FIND STEAMER LONG BURIED
Dredging Operations in the Mersey
Disclose Remains of Vessel That
Had Been Forgotten.

For some time past the Mersey

Quoting dredging operations in the
neighborhood of the Burbo bank, one

which impede the navigation of the
Mersey entrance, and these have re-
suited in "fnd" of remarkable in
terest.
1t is the remains of a steamer which
have evidently been embedded for
generations. Her date is long ante
rior to that of iron shipbuilding. Of
sound English oak were her timbers
and framing, to which circumstances
doubtless is due the fact that they
still retain cohesion and shape, and
have SO wonderfully resisted the forces
Of decay as to supply an abundant
quantity of material for the souvenir
manufacturer. Her beams, in point
Of fact, are described as being as
f'hard as IRON"
The machinery has practically per-
ished, but the engine bed-plates and
the funnel remain, and relics Of pot
-
terry and other articles are plentiful.
The vessel, cleared of superabundant
sand, is not only visible, but accessible
at low water, and has been visited and
examined by many interested people.
The prevailing opinion is that she
is the William Huskisson, a paddle
steamer belonging to the City of Dub
lin company, and trading between Liv-
erpool and the Irish capital, which on
the 10Th of January, 1910, was wreck
ed on her passage to the Mersey. She
had 120 passengers on board, of whom
90 were rescued by the ship Hudders-
field, and the remainder persisted.
Captain Clegg of the Huddersfield
subsequently received handsome pres
entations from the citizens of Liver
pool in recognition of his good work.

BECKETT STUPID
LOST FIGHT
Georges Carpenter Won
Battle of Giants in
the First Round
CLEAN KNOCKOUT
WAS REGISTERED
The Frenchman Won by
His Speed and His
Cleverness

London, Dec. 5.--Experts, in COM
menting on last nights fight, in which
Georges Carpenter of France knocked
out Joe Beckett of England in the first
round, concur in saying that victory
went to the best man and that Car
pentier won by his speed and clever
ness.
Beckett's manager says Carpenter
brought off a million to one chance"
but this is not the view of the onlook-
ers, the Daily Nails critics accusing
Beckett Of sheer stupidity
Beckett had by long way the best
of the handicap" the Daily Nails ex-
pert writes. 'He was superior in
height, weights and reach, He is a
great fellow physically, but the less
said about his Judgment the better.
Perhaps he was oyercoufident, but any
way he gave his opponent chance
which no novice would have offered.
The blow with which Carpenter won
was too simple for words. 1t could
have been easily avoided, and the coun-
ter to it would have been an extremely
dangerous blow. Yet Beckett walked
right into the danger zone. What he
did was simple and stupid, and there
is no excuse for him"
After Carpenter had been carried
around the ring, the prince of Wales
cordially shook his hand and eongrat-
ulated him The prince also shook
Beckett's hand, saying: Better luck
next time"

your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mild, harmless salts which removes the
body's urinous waste and stimulates
them to their normal activity. The
function of the kidneys is TO filter the
blood. In "a hours they strain from it
500 grains of acid and waste. so we can
readily understand the vital Importance
of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass Of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia. and has been used
for generations TO clean and stimulate
clogged kidneys; also TO neutralize the
acids in urine SO it no longer is a
source of irritation, thus ending blad-
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes delightful, efFeryescent,
lithia water drink, which everyone
should take now and then to keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this, also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you win wonder what became
