A Prehistoric Cave-Dwslling in France.

A discovery of great importance to
prehistoric archaeology, says Nature,
has just been made in France On
March 2, while, some workmen were ex-
cavating in quarry Of Jurassic lime
stone, near the little commune of Cra-
vanche, about three kilometers north
west of Belfort, at the base Of a hillock,
they came upon small opening which
was found to lead into q cave of large
dimensions. On entering the cavern,
its floor was found to be covered with
human bones, so disposed as to lead to
the belief that the cave formed pre-
historic place of sepulture. Magni6-
cent stalagmitic columns rise from the
floor, but without corresponding stalac-
tites. 1t would seem as If these columns
were partly natural and partly artificial.
as they appear to be disposed in q sort
of systematic method, after the form or
dolmens. 1t is in these cavities that the
multitudes of bones have been found.
The skulls are raised slightly above the
level of the rest OF the bodies, which ap-
pear to be in somewhat bent position.
Several polished flint weapons have also
been found, three beautiful vases in the
form Of urns, polished stone bracelets
and mat of plated rushes. The
cave itself is calculated to be about 36
meters long and about twelve in breadth
and height; and numerous galleries or
side-caves run off the main one. I'm
mediately on the discovery Of the cav
ern the authorities of Belfort took
measures to guard it and the treasures
it contains in the interests of science,
and M. Felix Voulot, of prehistoric
archaeology, has been charged with
carrying on the researches. M. Voulot
hopes to be able to disengage from the
stalagmitic covering at least one entire
skeleton. There is no doubt that we
have here important remains Of the
polished stone period, but it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that further research
will bring to light relics Of q much older
period; indeed, the writer in the Revne
Scientifque, of April /, from which the
above details are taken, hopes that re-
mains will be found not only belonging
to the Tertiary, but even. to the Gre
taceous period. The cavern Is situated
in bed of one of the lower strata Of
the Jurassic period Qower colite), |" on

Practical Suggestions.

FoR Sick HEADAcHE,-Two tea
spoonfuls of finely powdered charcoal,
drank in half a tumbler of water, will
often give relief to the headache, when
caused by a superabundance of acid in
the stomach.
For CRoUP.-Take a knife or crater,
and CRATE or shave in small particles
about a teaspoonful of alum; mix it with
about twice its quantity of sugar, to
make it palatable, and administer it as
quickly as possible. It's effects will be
truly magical, as almost instantaneous
relief will be afforded.
FLAxsEED LEMoNADE.-Pour one
quart boiling water over four tablespoon
fuls of haxseed. Steep, not boil, three
hours; cover closely while sleeping; then
strain, sweeten 10 taste, and add the
juice of two lemons, putting in more
water if too thick to be agreeable. This
is a good remedy for colds.

In Female Form.

Competent writer's attribute tn
beauty of form of Hindoo girls to the
custom of carrying burdens on their
heads. Among them are found no
stoopedshoulders or curved spines.
They are as straight as arrows, 1.-THE,
supple and graceful, these qualities al
ways attracting the attention Of travel
iers. Since muscular education has be-
come a hobby and the girls are imita-
ting the boys 10 exercise and games,
how would it do to adopt the Hindoo
hint and educate our girls heads q lit
tie ? 1t Is a notorious fact thst the ma
jority Of those who come forth from
fashionable schools have little Of any ac-
count in their heads, and it would be
something to bestow upon them a capa-
city to bear a little on their heads. All
that is necessary is to have it under
stood to be the fashion, and tubs, pals,
firklns, baskets, crooks and other arti-
Giles will mount tho amy of fashionable
noodles with a magic quickness. And
while these would be equally becoming
as the monstrosities which in succession
have perched there in various form, they
would be useful 10 shaping the sex tc
attractive symmetry. The girls heads
would then be put to a use, something
a little new, to be sure; but, when ouce
started, they would easily become recon.
ciled to it on the plea of fashion,. Be.
sides, ifthe result should be straight
spines, graceful necks, perfect busts,
and a royal poise of the head, the style
would certainly commend itself to
good sense as a vast improvement on
stays, lacing and padding.

Deal Squarely With Your
Children.
Miss Mulock.

MISS UNLOCK.
To gain obedience you must first set
yourself to deserve it. Whatever you
promise your little one, however small
the thing seems to you, and whatever
trouble it costs you, perform it. Never
let the doubt once enter that innocent
mind that you say what you do not
mean, or will not act up to what you
say. Make as few prohibitory laws as
you possible can, but once made keep
them. In what is granted as. in what is
denied, compel yourself, however weary
or worried or impatient, to administer
always e%venhanded justice. This is a
system much more likely to secure your
child's real affection than all the petting
humoring so generally INDUCED in, to
give pleasure or a v trouble, not to
your little ones, but to yourself.

Singing Slang.

AS a newly engaged CONNER
cial traveller was about to start on
a drumming trip fIom his place in
Chicago the other day, he sudden
ly turned to his employer, a grave
old merchant, and inquired: 81
say, boss, what am / going to do
when | get out of soap ?" "Soap,
soap" said the old gentleman,
"why save your samples, and you
won't get out" "But / mean what
shall l do when / get out of grease
you know "Grease ?" pom
dered the old man, "why you do
not need any grease, you are not
working for %lubricating establish
ment.' "Oh: but you don't un-
derstand me-" chimed in the en-
ployee, rather embarrassed, 81
mean what shall / do if / run out
of spondulix- stamps-wealth ?"
"Spondulix stamps ? wealth ?'
echoed the mystified merchant as
he looked at the young man over
his glasses to see if he had gone
crazy. Eyes, acknowledgement
Backs exclaimed the drummer,
"cash-money, you know" Just
then a light seemed to dawn on
the old gentleman's mind, for with
a look of contempt and pity he
broke forth: Young man, what
are you giving us? l rather guess
you needn't go out, for our class of
customers can get along very we'll
without you-they speak the En-
glish language. Pull down your
vest, step up to the cashiers desk
and get your sugar. Now cheese
it, Gully, you are bounced" And
that is the way the high toned
kid got bounced-all through the
p%ernicious habit of singing out
slang.

NOBLEMEN.

Who are natures noblemen !?
In the field and in the mine,
And in dark and grimy workshops
Like Golconda's gem they shine;
Lo ! they smite the ringing anvil.
And they dress the yieldingsoil;
They are on the painless ocean,
Where the raging surges boil,
They are noble-they who labor
Whether with the hand or pen,
If their hearts beat true and kindly
For their suffering fellow-man,
And the day is surely coming,
Loveliest since the world began,
When good deeds shall be the patent
OF nobility to man

A Guest at n Hotel Wants TO

From the Detroit Free Press.l
A night or two since a chap
about IS years old, looking as if
he had crawled out of a cave to
commence life anew, entered one
of the hotels, and, waiting at the
counter until the clerk was at lib
erty, he asked: us this a hotel ?"
"Yes, sir" vas the reply.
"Good living, good beds, and
the most courteous attention."
Eyes, sir"
.sWell," said the stranger, after
a long look at a railroad time ia
BILE, 81 suppose you don't trust ?"
"No, SIR"
"Would'nt let a man stay here
four or five days until something
turned up?"
"NO. sir"
"That's what / wanted to know
/ always like to have an under
standing about such things, for if
anything makes me mad it is to
have a great big hotel clerk jump
in on me and kick me down stairs
on account of my Strengthened f.
nances."
"You'd better find some other
place." suggested the clerk.
"Ohl | shall,o replied the stran-
ger.
"The outside of this hotel seemed
to smile a welcome at me; but, as
said before, my present policy
is to get along without being Kick
ed. I've got mental feelings as
well as anybody else, and Pm

mere common grand bounce from

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SCHENCK's
SEA WEED TONIC, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PHI
and, II taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. ]. n. Schenck OF
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The PuImon1c Syrup ripens the morbid matter
In the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoratiOn, for when the phlegm or matter is
ripe slight cough will throw it off the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schencks Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schencks Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alka!i of which it is composed
mikes with the food aid prevents souring. 1t as
slsts the digestion by toning up the stomach to
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well if care
is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either
personally by letter, do so at his principal
office, corner of SIXTH and ARCH SITS, PhiladeI-
phia, every Monday.
