Professor Forchhammer maintains
that the antiquities discovered at My
cen@ do not Represent early Cheek nor
any pre-Hellenic barbarous art, but
Persian, it may be Assyrian, Babylonian
and Bactrian workmanship. In order
to explain the exceptional mode of
burial and the extraordinary amount of
treasure slowed away in the tombs, be
supposes that the skeletons found by DR..
Schliemann are those of Genefnls killed
during the siege of Mycen@ and hastily
inferred within the wall. The treasure
itself he traces to the battle Of Platea.
Though as early as the Homeric poems
Mycen@ wa called q rich town, yet such
treasures as We found in the tomb by
Dr.. Schliemann were probably, ~ DR..
Forchhammer surmises, the booty of the
Persian war. That booty was immense,
and after it had first been tithed; or the
Olympian Zeus, the Delphic Apollon,
and the Isthmian Poseidon, all the rest,
women, gold, silver, precious objects,
and animals, was divided equally among
those who had taken part in the war.
It wal only eleven years before the siege
OF Mycen@ that its share of the Persian
milliards had been deposited within its
walls. Nothing, therefore, seems more
natural thst that during she siege and
previous TO the surrender they should
havs hidden. their tkeasnrs in the tombs
in which the bodies of their leaders had
been deposited, and where, unknown to
the enemy, they might have been recov-
cred, unless all had been buried beneath
the ruins of the town.

An Ancient RAfc.

4 The gilt cross above the entrance Of
the Harvard library Is said to have been
brought from Louisburg at the time OF
Its surrender to Sir William Peperell
and the Massachusetts troops in HAS.
This date is said to have been printed on
it, with a further inscription when 1t
was preserved formerly among other
relics in Harvard hall; but, after the
removal of the library from that build
ing in 1S41, these relics were transferred
to a building in which the panorama Of
Athens was exhibited, and, in a fire in
which that building was consumed, the
inscription on the cross was obliterated.
1t was subsequently placed on the wall
of the eastern transept Of Gore hall, and
was removed at the time of the recent
extension of that transept.

with, a gentleman well known in this

them lately commenced laying in a wood
pile, her nest being situated between two
sticks of wood, far enough apart 8 that

Women In Belgium.

There is at least one country in the
world where ONE have rights which
mere men are bound to respect. In Bel
GUM the women are permitted to work
even harder than the men. In this
country a woman would not be permitted
to be hitched up with a dog and TO draw
her husband ar0ppd ina cart,sb but this
privilege is freely granted them in Bel
GUM. AecafdiAg to sall accounts the
lower class women in Belgium do their
full share Of work. A racy letter-writer
in the Chicago Times says:
Just a. soon AZ day begins to break,
they slip on q nice blue frock, and go to
business. They don't dawdle around for
q few hours and then 60 down town and
make the round of the asy-goods shops
to match piece of mAn3e rf66on. Moth
ing OF the kindl They haven't the re-
hottest idea as to what is the latest thing
in bangs in waists or polonaise. That
old blue frock which they wear ties at
the neck and buttons at the waist, and
one Of them can get into it, and be all
dressed and ready f6fs business before ar
American w0inahs0aK getsoneeye open.
And when q Belgian woman is ready for
bed, it doesn't take two hours to unbut-
ton, unpin, u~nlace, unlock, unite, and
unfasten generally. She gives a pull at
the neck-string, q twist at the waist-but-
ton, kicks ofher wooden shoes, hops into
bed, and in two minutes il snoring
musically-being altogether too tired to
deyote a couple of hours to caudleizing
and all that. That's the kind of a wife
for q young fellow to 60 into business
with! Only on pair Of wooden shoes,
and q frock in a lifetime. Think of
the saving in millinery and dry-goods
bills! The only fault l can find with
the Belgian system is that it puts too
much on the men. Men are naturally,
and by virtue of their intellectual supe-
riority, managers. All they really ought
to do is to plan the work and oversee its
execution by the women. Otherwise the
Belgian system is admirable. As soon as
| get home, ! I'm going to try and intro

such Improvements q hare. suggested

Our common brown rat is supposed to have
originated In Norway, and thence to have
pas ed over the globe in every ship he could get
passage on. There used to be a rat in England
different from the Norway chap but the latter
soon drove him out. The city rat is almost as
ferce as VOL, and acts in combination like
wolves.
They are csnnihals aud eat their own wound

There are really eight male rats to three or
fCu female; it is supposed that the delicate flesh
OF the female rat temptS her gallantS, and by
keeping d. WI the number of females, they keep
down their species, much to the pleasure or
mankind.
Rats suffer much for water, and the common
way OF killing them in New York is to give them
phosphorus, when they burn inside and run and
howl until they die. Livery stable men here
say that rats have been known to nibble the
horn OF horses hoof and to gnaw the call0uS
soles of dogs feet while the dogs slept. The
female rat, nevertheless, is an affectiOnate
mother, and has to fight the he rat, who wants
to make meal off the children.
Yet rats are exceedingly clean. and wash
themselves after every meal; they are also cpl
cures, and when there is good meat and bad
win eat the good and leave the Indifferent.
Sometimes naval vessels undertake to purge
themselves of rats by means Of chatting pans
flled with birthstone, and often the rats run
along the cables attaching the vessels to the
shore, and have TO be knocked off with a billet
OF wood. The black rat was driven out OF the
English colonies by the brown rat, which stole
all his females and bred upon them until all the
black rats turned brown
