The little republic of San Marino,
which, by the mouth of the most prom
inent officials, gave an indignant de-
NAL recently to the assertion that it
intended authorizing the introduction
of gaming-tables, is inclosed in the
kingdom of Italy. 1t is bounded ON
the north, east and south by province
of Forli, and on the west by that of
Pesaro.
Its territory covers about % square
miles. The population numbers about
$500 souls, and the capital, San Mari
no, has 1000. 1t is perched on the
summit of a mountain called Mount
Titan, or the Giants, which sometimes
leads to this little State being termed
the Titanic Republic. Its origin dates
from the fourth century, and for her
aIdic bearings it has the following
Argent, three strong towers azure,on
three rocks Of the same; three curved
flames, gules, issue from the towers
and crown them. The motto is "Lib-
ertas." The escutcheon is surrounded
by flags and surmounted by crown,
indicating q sovereign State. The re-
public has an order of chivalry, Great
ed in 1889, under the name of Order
of San Marino. 1t consists of Greek
cross with towers at the four angles,
and in the center medallion with the
arms of the republic surmounted by
princely crown closed, and suspended
to a striped blue and white ribbon.
These are national colors.
In 1876 Bonaparte, after defeating
the Austrians, sent the celebrated
mathematician, Mongo, to compliment
the free mountineers and make them
offers of agrandizement, but they very
politely and very prudently declined.
When Italy became kingdom, Ma
poleon desired to preserve this small
State intact. alt is rare sample of a
republic to preserve" said the Empe-
ror. In 1S49, Garabaldi, driven from
Rome by General Oudinot, took ref
uge in San Marino, fOrbidding his
soldiers to do any harm to the inhabi
tants.
Victor Emmanuel not only respect
ed the liberty and institutions of this
little country, but always showed 1t
great sympathy, especially on his visit
to Bologna the time of the Inaugural
ton of the Ancona Railway in 1861.
In 1862 treaty of customs and COM
merce was concluded between Italy
aud the republic.
San Marino owes its foundation to
hermit of that name, born in Dalmatia
in the fourth century, and who went
to Italy TO work as a mason at the re-
building of the walls OF Rimini. Mar
ino afterward took refuge in the midst
of the woods on Mount Titan, and
constructed there q cabin, in which he
ended his days. The place where he
expired soon became the object oil
pilgrimages, and houses were built
there, which ultimately formed the
town of San MarinO. The fete of the
saint is celebrated on the fourth OF
September.-Paris Register.

WHAT A DOCTOR CLAIMS.

certain and safe cure for consumption,

Claims that out of twenty-five cases OF
we'll marked tuberculosis so treated,
twenty are, TO all means of diagonis
cured the rest have been materially
benefited, and none have been under
treatment more than four months. The
nausea attending the use of ordinary
crude petroleum led him to adopt the
semi-seIid oil that forms on the tub

three to five grain pills by incorporat-

appetite improves and weight is grad

CURIOUS INCUBATION.

Indian birds avail themselves largely Of
natural heat in incubating; as breeding
time generally begins in March, the hot
weather is generally well on by the time
the eggs are laid. and as the temperature
of the air is never below a minimum Of
9So-100e during the day-the eggs are
but little sat upon except during the
night, and so rest and duty are combined,
birds eggs. and. until could blow them.
| used to place them in a drawer Of my
office table. and there they would lie for
two or three days until l had leisure. One
day. while writing. heard strange sounds
from this drawer, ahd opening it found
young crow (Corrus spiendcns) emerged
from its egg. On second occasion SIM
ilarly found a young myna. tried hard
to rear these strange hatchings, but failed.
once saw kites nest in the top OF fan
palm, and sent up native to bring down
the contents, which turned out to be eggs.
In spirit of mischief, placed them, with
out saying anything to any one, under
hen which was sitting upon ducks eggs.
and awaited the result. Two days after
my fowlman came to me with long and
solemn face. and asked permission TO ad-
dress me. That accorded, he mysterious
ly whispered, my lord, a great wonder
has occurred in the fowl-house marvel
has happened; devils have been Matched
in the fowl-house.' Then began a tab
leau Of descriptive acting which l cannot
reproducer "Did not place ducks eggs
under that hen. and. my lord. have not
ducks fat feet like this, Tflattening and ex-
tending his hand. and noses like this,
[compressing his thumb and index finger j
have they not, my lord ?'' On my solemn
ly asserting. he proceeded: '.But these
devils. my lord, have feet like this.
rclawing all his fingers. and noses like
this. Hooking his thumb and index finger
together at his own nose?] Oh my lord,
what shall doP'' "Well, let me see
these DEVILS" replied, sympathizingly ;
and we walked Off to the fowl-house and
found the hen sitting, dazed, beside her
basket, in which were five recently matched
kites. The finale was tragical, for the
poor hen abandoned both her eggs and
the kites, and the latter would have died
had not had them replaced in their nest.
As it was. the ducks eggs were aban-
doned.-Nature.

CAVE MAN IN ENGLAND.

Professor Boyd Dawkins. prominent
English geologist. gave recently lecture
in London on ssThe Man Of the Caverns.
in the course Of which he drew . vivid
picture OF Southern England In pre-
prehistoric times. While the river-drift
men and the cave men were living in Brit
ain. the hills md valleys in the South Of
England. he said. presented the same out
lines as they did now. Could We take our
stand in those times on Shooters Hill or
ON the Essex Heights, and look over the
Thames Valley in the direction Of London,
we should see a dense forest of oak, ash
and Scotch fir. and the course Of the
Thames marked by lines of willows and
alders. A few thin columns Of smoke
rising over the tops of the trees would
mark the camping-placcs Of primeval
man. In the forests wild boars, man,
mouths, and rhinoceroses. wild horses.
stags. and Irish elks would meet our eyes,
and i'm the Summer time countless herds
of bisons. like those now ranging over the
plains of Northwestern America. In the
Winter were vast numbers Of reindeer,
and few musk sheep, the most Arctic Of
the mamalia in its habits.
In the rivers were offers and beavers,
and the explorer would be startled by the
snort of the hippopotamus in the reaches
of the Thames near Brentford. Beasts Of
prey also abounded, lions, lcopards, hye-
mas, grizzly bears. wolves and foxes. II
we penetrated to one of the camp. fires
we should have seen the river-drift hunter
chipping or using some of those rude flint
impliments which lie buried in the Lon
don gravels along with the remains OF the
animals which he hunted.
The rivcrdriit man, in the long course
of ages, was succeeded by the man of the
caverns, like him a hunter, living on the
same animals, and more highly equipped
for the battle of life. In the course OF
time the cave man disappeared, the climate
and geography of England became almost
what it was now, the hunter stage Of civil
lization was superseded by that Of the
herdsman and the tiller of the ground and
the manufacturer of the neolithic age.
From the ncolithic age down to the pres
ent time the progress of man had been un-
broken in Britain and in Europe, and the
present condition of the European people
was to be looked upon as the result Of
gradual series of changes by which civili-
zation succeeded civilization. and race
succeeded race, ''the old order yielding
place unto the new,n because the new or
der was higher and nobler.
