WHAT Is LAXMOS LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA A DiGESTIvE LAXATIVE CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC LAX-Fos is not a Secret orPatentMedi cine but is composed of the following old-fashioucd roots and herbs: .E OAGOARA BARK BLUE FLAG ROOT RHUBARB ROOT BLAOK ROOT MAY APPLE ROOT 11 SENNA LEAVES AND PEPSIN In IAx-FVos the CASCARA is Improved by the addition of these digestive ingredi ents making it better than ordinary CAS CARA, and thus the combination acts not only as a stimulating laxative and cathar tic but also as a digestive and liver tonic. Syrup laxatives are weak, but LAX-Fos combines strength with palatable, aro matic taste and does not gripe or disturb the stomach. t One bottle will prove LAX-FOS is invaluable for Constipation, Indigestion or Torpid Liver.

Tombstones Sometimes Employed In England for the Purpose-Glass Used on French, Street-Ex. travagance of Monarch. Tombstones at'e not infrequentI. .Clmployed in lifferent parts of 1iglanq for paving purposes. Somo four or, .five years ago the inhabitants of Bel voir bitterly protested against the use of such material in the construction of a road leading to the parish church, despite the assurances of the local authorities that with the liberal sup. Iply of old and broken gravestones at ithetr disposal the plan had been :adopted with a view to saving the tax payers quite a sum. In Lyons, France, the celebrated fRue de lia Itepublique is paved with glass 'blocks eight inches sciuare, which have been so preelsely litted together as to n make them absolutely water tight. Compressed grass, It Is claimed, has been used In the construction of pavemnents III Germin towis and with adnilrable results, ntud in lRussil coin -pressed paper has been utilized for a simlar purpose. M~rany Interestinlg instiice" of midi vidulil ecceitrielty or ext ranigalnee in the selection of mauu terlnl for paving may be cited. It is related that when laximilIan .Iimanuel succeeded to the *throne of Thavarlat he (elebra ted tho (Weet by enusin g one of lie roads lending to his pallice to be paved with plalites of hurnishel coppre.

Louis XIV, It is ald, paved one of the courts at Versailles with squares of silver, each of whilh had recorded upon it some triuitpli of the i 'eacl arms. In the enlter of the. court stood *a large tablie of gold iII re)re.seltaition of the luxurious mloialirchl's favorite emblem, the sun. Memoirs of the time of Louis make ientilon of a lodge crected in honor of Louise (e In Val liere. The alpproacih was5 paved with mirrors, whllereon was painted an alle gory setting forth the undying devo tion of Louls. An eccentric noblemllan of Milan con celved the Idea of paving the court yard of his palaee wIth slabs of mliarble, granite and otl(r stone, each frot a different laItid. It Is said that Europe, Anerlea, Asin, Africa and Australia all contrilIteli to make up this quaint tluosiale, colipfosed of more than tIousand plieces, every one of which wis, suiltably inuserilled with the name of the country or state whence it came. aust Not Lovo Employers' Daughters. "If we both love each other, surely your father will agree to our mar riage," urged a wistfiul a11(l eager swain to the eldest daughter of a merllailt in Berlin. "Ile will kill you, mine liebling," replied the lady. "WIIalt till the war 1s over, and you and I wIll have more Money." This part of i colversiltion came out in the evidence adduce( lit a1 trial before the industrial arbition court of Berlin, lit whileh a young 1111n sued his employer for dumages for Illegal dlismlissal, holding that lie wvas seat out of the works at a momIaenit's notie by the employer on his learning that the 'plaIntIff was courting hIs dauilghter The Court took tihe view thant lhe wasli "unrdermlning the haippliess of his eimployer's faiIly," and( dleelded the Case aigainst 1him1. "TBut does not love lwaiys upset someone's happiness?" relIeCd the prosecutor-. The court looked gravely at the qluestilonler, blut dleilned hoE reply. .'Bullet-Proof Caps. The steel Capls which are being served out to British soldilers .at the front are mar-i~ls of lIghtness and strength. They are made of manga nese steel, and( are b~ullet-proof to a Web~ley automailtlclit five yards. F1ur thermore, during a recent experiment, one of the Caps was only slightly dent 'ed when a heavy poker, ralsed over the head and( brought downa with both ,hannde and all possible force, was crashed upon it.,I ' The BrItish helmets are called "soup plates' by the soldhiers, aind are so con str-uctedl thlat they not only protect the -wearer from the,enemny's weapons but from fragments of the cap itself. Rub ber studs are placed b~etween the hel met andl the skull, while next to the liatter is a double)1 lining of wadding and felt. This not only renders the helmet more comfortable but helps to protect the skull from jagged frag ments. Explorer Has Great Record. Sir Aurel Stein, who lhas just re turned to Calcutta after a prolonged 'and important trip of exploration to! the Rlussian Pamirs, is the greatest Asiatic explorer of the present, and probably one of the greatest explorers of all times.
