Tho AntiQ uity of Fork \ .

Among the valuable finds in the oxplo-
ration Of the relics of the ancient lake
dwcllcrs of Switzerland Is pair of forks,
apparently invented for table use. They
were fashioned from the mctatarsal bone of
a Stag. This gives higher antiquity to
table forks Qf they were really intended as
such) than has hitherto been suspected
Other bone implements and ornaments arc
frequently found. Animal remains arc
also common. Among them arc the bones
of the dog, the badger aud tho common
otter. The latter were doubtless met with
IN the immediate neighborhood of the lake,
but the presence of the bones of the wild
OK and Of the bear indicate that the lake.
dwcllers were bold and skilful hunters. a,
well as ingenious tool-makcrs. They were
also keepers of cattle. for the most numer.
olls animal remains brought to light were
those Of the common COW and the moor
COW. These exist In every stage Of growth,
showing that their owners had taste for
both veal and beef, while their fondness
for venson is proved by the many bones of
the stag and roc discovered by tho cx-
plorers.' - evidence of a like character
shows that they were hunters of tho wild
boar and eaters of the domesticated pig,
and the existence of the beaver in SwitZer-
land in prehistoric times Is attcstcd by the
presence, among other bones, of several
which comparative anatomists declare to
have belonged to TINT rodent. One olnis
sion on the list is striking No mention is
made Of the bones of horses having been
found, from which it may bo inferred with
tolerable certainty that the horse was either
altogether unknown to the ancient lake
dWeilcrS or that they had not slccncded i'm
capturing and tanning him.

Meaning or the Hands.

O. . . " "a . . .. . .
Profound study has led M. d'Arpen-
tigny to the conclusion that the hands rep.
resent three types. Those who have fin
gers with pointed tips are possessed of a
rapid insight into things; arc extrasensltlvc,
pious and impulsive. This class belongs
to tho poets and artists. To the "squarc
tops" belong scientific people; sensible, self
contained characters, professional mon.
The spadc-shaped tops--thick tips, with
little pads Of flesh on each side of the nails
---aro lnatoriallsts, commercial, practical,
with q high appreciation OF all that tends
to bodily ease and comfort. Each finger,
no matter what tho kind Of hand, has also
one joint-that which is nearest the palm
representing the body; nother---the. middle
lilo mind, and the top, the eoul. Each Of
these diyislons correspo ponds With one Of, the
typea above given, \ 3; 50 Y

wooden Books on Wood.

A most interesting, as well as novel, col
lection of books is to he found In library
in the province Of Casscl. These volumes
appear like so many wooden blocks but
each block Is complete history of the tree
which 1t represents. For instance, an oak
book is formed thus : The bark Is stripped
from the back, and the title is inserted.
One side--these books are all bound In
"boards"-is formed from the split wood,
showing the grain. The opposite side
shows the vanished wood. Inside, as one
might naturally expect, are the leaves
but the seed, the fruit, the moss that grows
upon the trunk, the insects that feed upon
IT., &C., are all represented as we'll. To
these specimens ls added simple account
of'the tree, its usual location, the manner
Of Its growth, and no doubt other branches
Of Its history.

JEALOUSY AND MURDER THE Red Bluff
Peoples Cause, 9th instant, gives the fol-
lowing account of murderous affair be-
tween two residents of Tehama county,
living near Paskenta: sit seems that one
Lancaster, whose wife had left him some
time since and joined her fortunes with
John Raglan, had made threats that he
would kill Raglan when he got good
chance. Hearing on Saturday that Raglan
was going from his home in the foothills,
north of Paskenta, to MELVILLE, Lancaster
armed himself with gun or pistol and pro-
ceeded to intercept Raglan. About SIX
miles from Paskenta, Lancaster met his
victim on the public highway, in company
with Paul Nelson, all being on horseback.
Lancaster Immediately hailed Raglan and
IN language more expressive than refined,
demanded Raglan to get down off his horse,
saying that he had come to kill him, and
before Raglan had time to dismount, the
death-dealing bullet vent whistling through
his body and he fell headlong to the ground
bleeding corpse. Nelson, who sat on his
horse terror-stricken, was then threatened
with similar fate, and no sooner were the
words spoken than Lancaster raised his
weapon and would, no doubt, have killed his
man, but fortunately the cap snapped, when
Nelson put spurs to his. horse and rode of
for life, leaving the murderer and his VIC
tim alone. The murderer escaped.

/ defendant since April or May; have had
conversations with him; he never made any
remark about going after the company for

| time before those articles came out he got
| "couple of digs at us" before that time he

said he was going to burst the company, and
that we fellows would "have to hunt some

to the question, "Was that before or since he

sustained and the evidence excluded.
The testimony for the prosecution was then
concluded.
The attorneys for the defense thought it
unnecessary to introduce any evidence, and

SWORN DENIAL.-H. S. Beals publishes
this morning an affidavit denying in explicit
terms the charge of "ticket scalping," and
saying that if any persons pretended to sell
seats at the theater last Saturday for an
extra price after reservation, they did so
without the knowledge or consent of the
usher or assistants, and such persons were not
employees at the theater. This would appear
to be so positive as to admit of no successful
contradiction.
