embraced her with transports Of frenzy and gush.
Not only embraced her, but the baby rs well for

I'VE have wooed General Butler, aud II he has a
baby, we are going 10 legitimatze' the child "
"Legitimatize" Is hard word, but If 1t refers to
the victuaing of the rug baby with soft food, the
widow certainly knows how tn handle spoon.

A Submerged City in the Lake OF
Geneva.

D..
A strange discovery is reported from
the lake of Geneva a tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were emploved
to search for it. While they were below
water they found what they supposed to
be village covered by the lake. Their
statements led to an investigation Of the
spot by the municipal authorities, who
took measures to ascertain the truth of
the extraordinary account of the divers.
On covering the placid surface with oil,
these latter were able to distinguish the
plan Of town, streets, squares, detached
houses marking the bed of the lake.
T e ruddy hue which characterized them
led the observers to suppose that the
buildings had been covered with famous
vermillion cement which was used blythe
Celts, Cimbri and the early Gauls. There
are about two hundred houses arranged
over an oblong surface near the middle
OF which is space more open, supposed
to have been used for public assemblages.
At the eastern extremity lies large
square tower, which was taken for a rock.
A superficial investigation seems to indi
cate that the construction of the build
ings date from some centuries before the
christian era. The council Of Vaud has
decided to have the site of dwellings en-
closed by 9 jettY stretching from the
land, and to drain off the water, SO as to
bring to light what promises to be one of
the most interesting archmolo logical discoy-
cries OF our day ~ london Daily Telegraph

Books Among the Ancients.

The. use of educated slave labor in
writing rendered books comparatively
cheep among the ancients. We learn
from Plato that in his time the works of
the philosopher Anaxagoras were sold in
the theater at Athens for drachma, or
about seventeen cents of our money, and
even if as some OF the commentators
think, only single treatise of Anaxagor-
as is spoken of, this is cheaper than the
rate at which opera librettos or other
printed pamphlets are sold at our places
of public amusement at the present day.
The poet Martiel tells us that his works
were sold in distant Brittany at price
quite as low as a good copy of them
could be bought for to-day in London.
It is difficult in these instances to est:
mate in modern currency the actual
value of books or other articles of ssle,
of the precious metals at different peri
DDS. Some writers on political economy
have assumed the market price Of wheat
as standard of comparison il meas,lr-
ing the value of ether commodities at
different historical periods, but as the
price Of flour within the recollection of
this generation has f1uctuated between
the extreme limit of $3.50 and $50 per
barrel at retail, this standard can scarce
~ be accepted as sound basis for very
accurate calculations Besides, the val
ues of the ancient coins differed at diff
fereEt periods, and if it be stated that
the price of o particular book was a
drachma, we are at loss in determining
whether reference is made to the drach-
ma Of the fathers or trade drachma.
But without engaging in such abstruse
calculations, it is enough to know that
books in the brilliant Athenian period
and under the Roman Empire were
much cheaper than they were at any
time during the first three centuries after
the discovery OF the printing press

A Boys History Composition

Henry VI. died one day with great sue.
cess. He left three children who did not
care to go with him. Their names were
Mary, Elizabeth and Edward. The last
was the Ed Of the family. He was a boy
His sisters were not. Their father also left
Will. His will wac stronger than all his
children. By will Earl Hartford was to
boss the State while Edward was young.
He was only ten years young. Hartford
loved the glass SO we'll he became a tumb-
Ter, and was called the Duke Of Summer
set. He wanted the King to take the
Queen (of Scotland, but the trick was lost
because the Scotch refused to assist.
The Duke was called the Protector be-
cause he protected his own family and
put everybody else away in the Tower.
The border men of England and Scotland
were those who boarded on the frontier
and bored each other almost to death;
so they HAD a fight about Edward marry
ing their queen. The English attacked
them by water, which they couldn't stand.
History says thatthe Scotch loss was ten
thousand and the English two hundred.
History lies, probably. The government
told the people! what to belive. If they
did as they were told, they must pay taxes
for their belief. If they didn't do SO.
they were roasted. Things were red hot.
Somebody told stories about the Protec-
tor and SO he was taken to the Tower and
had his head chopped of. It was not
much of a head, but he hated to part with
it. There was rising Of the common
people, but they did not know what for
Most of them got raised on to trees with
ropes around their necks. Some very fat
men were burned, thus making light of
their complaints. Now guess it is time
for the little king to die. He was only
sixteen when he gave up the crown and
the ghost. England is not yet done, SO I
cannot finish the history yet.

Don't stint them, therefore, in feeding,

Thus they will grow in stature AMI keep
