THf LAuRIUM MINES, in Greece, which now
form the subject of dispute between the Greek
and the French and Italian governments, were
anciently the source of the Greek coinage, but
the government finally abandoned them as hav-
ing been worked out. A company OF French
ten years ago, and having since been probably
engaged In working the mines, attracted the at.
tention and cupidity of the Greek government
The latter hrst attempted to gain possession of
the grant, but failing, now seek to tax the com.
pany forty per cent. of its profits. The matter
is now diplomatic question, in which Ital +,
and France take the part of their subjects
They have proposed reference to arbitration
but Greece refuses to acquiesce.

TIE CHALDRAN DRLuGR.-It is a curious
proof OF the universally of the traditions of the
Deluge that a cuneif0rm inscription has been
deciphered on an Assyrian tablet in the British
museum m which narrates the history of the food
In very much the same manner as in the Bible
story, while the difference of details shows it %
have been a distinct tradition. This Inscription
must have been made about seventeen hundred
years before the Christian era, and may be
much older. Such q resurrection from the
remote past is likely to make a sensation in the
religious and literary worlds. That these tab
lets should, after thousands Of years, become
ineligible and take us so far back toward the
primeval world, seems strange enough.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION Is much better than
none, but other things should be brought into
harmony with 1t. In Texas children under III
teen are required to attend school, and in Hous-
ton little married lady below that age is
obliged to take her baby along. Now this ma
ternal school child ought not to be school child
or ought not to be maternal, one or the other
1t is inconvenient.

The Deepest Well in the
World.

At about twenty miles from
Berlin is situated the village OF
Sperenberg, nuted for the deepest
well that has ever been sunk.
Owing % presence of gypsum in
the locality, which is at a moder
ate distance from the capital, it
occurred to the Government au-
thorities in charge of mines to ob
tain supply of rock salt. With
this end In view the sinking of a
shaft or well sixteen feet in diam
eter, was commenced some five
years ago, and at depth of 2S0
feet the salt was reached. The
boring was continued to further
depth of 900 feet, the diameter of
this bore being reduced TO about
13 inches. The operations were
subsequently prosecuted by the
aid of steam until depth of4 ,l94
feet was attained At this point
the borer or bi: being still in the
salt deposit, which thus exhibits
the enormous thickness of 1907
feet. The boring would have
been continued in order to discov
er what description of deposit lay
under the salt. hut for the me-
chanical difficulties connected with
the further prosecution of the op.
erations. During the progress Of
this interesting work repeated and
careful observations were made Of
the temperature at various depths
The results confirm very closely
those which have been already ar
rived at under similar circum-
stances.

What Allied that Nose.
From the Baltimore American.

FROM the DalClm0re American.
On Wednesday a gentleman oi
this city smarting under the terri.
bic heat of the weather bethought
himself of the pleasant country seat
OF a relative residing in Hartford
county, distant fourteen miles from
Baltimore, and upon paying said
relative a short visit, and in order
that country life should not be-
come monotonous, he carried with
him favorite fowling piece, a
gun celebrated for its scattering
propensities. In due time the cit3
gentleman was safely quartered at
the country seat, and on the Sec
ond day proposed hunt for squir-
rels. The proposition was &C.
cepted by the country brother in
law, and after trudging about two
miles the city sp srtsman spied
what be supposed to be large
gray squirrel asleep upon the limb
of a tree. To take aim and fire
was but the work of an instant.
and when the sportsman stopped
down to pick up his squirrel he
was staggered by a peculiar blow
upon the.side of his nose, and be-
fore be could regain a perpendic-
ular position another stinging blow
was left upon the left side of his
nasal. He then discovered that
the supposed squirrel was a
hornets nest, the occupants of
which made savage war upon
him, and before he could beat a
retreat his nose and right cheek
were swollen to an enormous size.
The incident required the unfor-
tunate Blltimorian to remain
housed for three days, and upon
returning to Baltimore on Satur-
day he accounted for the unusual
size of his nose by stating that he
had been poisoned, by the sting of
spider, The country
brotherin law gave the true YER
sion of the affair, and an oyster sup
per has been agreed as a promise
that the story shall lot reach the
ears of friends of the hornet,nest !
sportsman.

According to the writer it is a
pretty sure rule that Frenchmen
who sigh at the feet OF American

never omit seeing their daughters
we'll settled, and seize the eligible
matches themselves. There is a
set of marrying Frenchmen in
Paris who have more debts than
money, and title than honor, who
have been known 10 go so far In
their hunt after a rich wife that
spies are posted at different places
to watch for Americanfamilies with
marriageabIe daughters. And a
case has lately been disclosed, to
be- settled by la y, in which the
lover" had agreed with the spy
to pay cert in per cent. on his

posed to forget his promise, but
was reminded by law how dishon-
