FRANCE’S LARGE BLACK ARMY To Be Considered in Event of War In Which National Existence Was Threatened. The announcement that by Janu ary next the African troops of France will be 200,000 strong, raises thoughts about their probable future employment. A large proportion of these troops are of negro blood, ami there can be no doubt that in West Africa France possesses inexhaustible reserves of potential riflemen. Are these black troops to be used in Europe? In the event of a life and death struggle only one answer is possible. Any nation is justified in drawing upon all its resources rather 1 than risk the menace of ex tinction. At the same time the expe rience of Great Britain in this con nection is instructive. Lord Beaconsfield brought Indian troops to Malta in 1878, but hie ex ample will not be repeated. Indian troops do not flourish in most foreign lands, and especially in contact with white troops other than British. On the one hand, they get “above them selves;” on the other, they often form a quite erroneous contempt for white troops which has demoralizing results when they return home. The West African troops of France are so different in type that no exact parallel can be drawn ; but they constitute a question which may some day be of absorbing interest to all Europe.

OLD INDIAN ARMORY. / . An ancient Indian armory was dis covered recently by two boys, near Muskogee, Okla. One of the boys kicked pieces off the edge of a lime stone outcropping and uncovered the cache of an ancient Indian arrow maker, from which over 1,700 beau tiful flint arrow points have been removed to date. Several minutes'’ digging by both boys brought them to a kind of pocket in the earth lit erally filled with arrow heads. They filled their hats and their pockets and went to town and reported their find. Students of archaeology went to the place and by digging with a Bpade reached another pocket con taining about 800 more heads. The style known as the “war pointe*’ pre dominated. WOMEN’S WORK.

The archbishop had preached a fee sermon on “Married Life and Ito Duties.” Two Irish women were heard coming out of church com menting on the address. “It’s a fine sermon his reverence would be after giving us,” said one to the other. “It is indeed,” was the quick reply, *and I wish I knew as little about the matter as he does.”—Life. NERVOUS HEADACHES Heavy Feeling, as If My Brain Was Pressing Down ' ' I MRS. EFFIE HILL. Blanchester, Clinton Co., Ohio. Mrs. Hill says: “I cannot tell you how much I have suffered during the past twelve year s.” Twelve years is a long time for any one to suf fer. A great mul titude of women in this country know exactly what Mrs. Hill means when she say s, *’H ea v y feeling, as if my brain was press- ing down. So nervous I could not get my rest at night. Would have > sinking spells and then so weak that j I could not do my work.” A great : many women in the United States i will recognize in this description j their own experience. Mrs. Hill found a remedy. After I taking four bottles of Peruna she gained in strength and flesh and wrote us that she was a well woman again. She says, “I cannot thank you enough for my recovery.” This is no ordinary incident. Twelve years suffering. Four bottles of Peruna. Restored to perfect health. If Peruna can do this for one woman why can it not for another? Is it not worth your attention? Is it not worth trying? Those who object to liquid medi- i cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.
