a place about four miles and half from
GAIA, in Palestine, recently, unearthed
marble figure supposed to be a colossal
god of the Philistines. The height is fif-
teen feet. The hair hangs in ringlets
down upon the shoulders, and the beard
is long, indicating man of great age.
There is no inscription on the figure or
the pedestal, which is a huge block
carved in one piece with the figure. The
statue was found buried in sand on the
top Of q hill near the sea-

Young Mr.. French made his appes

YOUNG Mr.. French made his appear
ance in Stanstead, Canada, half year
ago, and took board in the village tav-
ern. He seemed to have no business,
and devoted considerable of his time to
counting Miss La Pete, much to the
displeasure of her parents, who finally
forbade him to see her. One day
French informed Mr.. La Pete that he
had made up his mind to go away, and
asked for the use of horse and wagon
with which to get to the railroad sta
ton, ten miles distant. La Pete was
delighted by the proposed departure,
and readily lent the horse and wagon,
which were to be sent back by boy.
Mr.. and Mrs. La Pete waved French a
joyful adieu as he drove off, and were
glad that Miss La Pete was not there to
show regret. They afterward learned
that she was curled up under the wagon
seat, thus clipping from under their very
noses

The Border City Mill, at Fall River,
Mass, which was wrecked by Chace &
Hathaway, has been run of late by q
committee of creditors. They have been
able to report profit Of $4,000 for ten
weeks. These unusual profits, for so
short period, have raised hopes among
the creditors that they will eventually
be paid in full the 100000 due them.
But there is no reasonable hope for the
stockholders, who cannot come in for
any benefits until other claims are
satisfied. Chace and Hathaway stole
the entire capital stock Of 100000, and
they are now in States prison.

The wife of a miner in Hopewel, Pa.
had yellow hair of wonderful length
and abundance. It was so heavy as to
be bother, but her husband would
not let her cut it off, even when offered
a good price by dealers in hair. Lately
work became scarce with him, and he
did not know how to make payment
soon coming due on his little house.
The loss of his home seemed probable.
Then a stranger came along and offered
5000 for the treasured yellow hair.
That amount of money would raise the
mortgage on the homestead, and the
husband reluctantly made the sale. He
could not help shedding tears when he
saw the strangers shears despoiling his
wife's head of it's beauty, and she wept
when she looked at herself in the glass
but they consoled themselves with the
crisp bank notes, and the buyer went
away with the hair. A few days after
ward the miner went to pay the debt
and learned that the bills were all
counterfeit.

! CHICAGO father of several attractive

A CHICAGO father of several attractive
girls put fashionable thin-legged chairs
in his parlor, and was annoyed by the
frequency with which the frail furni-
ture was broken. He asked the girls
about it, and one of them, as reported
by the Chicago Tribune, said: "I was
sitting in the easy chair by the fire, and
Charl- that is to say, Mr. Smith-was
sitting on the sofa by the window, when
suddenly crack, down went the little
rocking-chair that no one was sitting on
at all. It must be the poor glue they
use, or perhaps it was the frost. p The
father studied the subject a few days.
Then he gave to each daughter a loeket
plainly inscribed with her name and
weight, and on each chair riveted sill
yer plate bearing the words, Warrant
ed to bear up pounds" Calling
in the girls, he said: Now, if there's
any more chairs broken it is because
your young men can't do sum in
subtraction, or else they are bent on
malicious mischief and destruction of
property"
