A Skeleton In a Tree.

A startling surprise, after the fashion
of the story Of Ginevra, was experienced
not long ago by party of Syrian wood
cutters in the forest Of Drommling. They
began to fell venerable oak, which
they soon discovered to be quite hollow.
Being half decayed it speedily came to
the ground with crash, disclosing a
skeleton in excellent preservation. Even
the boots, which came above the knee,
were almost perfect. By its side was q
powder horn, porcelain pipe bowl,
and silver watch on which was en-
graved the name, III. Won Krackowitz.
1872" The teeth were perfect. 1t would
seem to be the skeleton of a man be-
tween thirty and forty years of age. It
is conjectured that while engaged in
hunting, he climbed the tree for some
purpose, and slipped incautiously into
the hollow trunk, from which there was
no release. and he probably died Of
starvation.

Evil Effects Of Too Much Study.

A German physician, DR.. Treichler,
In paper read before the association
OF National Historians and Physicians
at Baden-Baden, asserts that the pres
ent method of school instruction is a
cause of disease, and is useless, produc-
ing mental confusion. The great OBJ
jects OF school education are intellectu-
al discipline and the awakening of de-
sire to continue the cultivation of the
mind, and these, he says, are almost
entirely frustrated. Habitual headache
has increased among both BOYS and
girls, and this headache not only de-
stroys much of the happiness and cheer
fulness of life, but produces impover-
ishment of the blood and loss of intel
.ectual tone, and reduces many high
ly-gifted child to the level of diseon-
tented drudge. Undoubtedly, he con-
tinues, the principal cause of the head
ache is intellectual over exertion, en-
failing work at night, and the insisting
by parents on the too earnest taking up
of a variety of subjects, music among
the rest.

Mrs. Governor Lew Wallace finds In
New Mexico what she calls "subtle

Even the names of the commonest per-
sons she meets are poetic. She says in

Mrs. Wallace adds that most of the peo-

Spanish, African and Indian. Here is
her picture of Santa Fe woman:

Chinese Restaurants in San Francisco.

The Chinese are fond of the pleasures
of the table, and the half dozen large
restaurants in the quarter are literally
patronized. Their outward and visible
sign is highly ornamented balcony,
hung with gayly painted lanterns.
These balconies, ablaze with lights,
form the most conspicuous feature of
night life in Chinese streets. Entering
at the street door of the largest restau-
rant, you find shop stored with pre-
serves, cakes and baked meats, ending
at the rear in the bakery of the estab-
lishment. Here grizzled old Chinese
is holding out a huge roll of dough,
soon to be converted into the small
dumplings filled with sweetmeats which
form part of every meal, and serve as
a substitute for bread. The shining
table, the FURNISHED pans, the cavern
GUS ovens-all look clean and tidy.
Equally neat is the main kitchen, which
is reached by passing up steep flight
those who have been educated
in the delusion that rats and
garbage form the staple of the
Chinese cuisine. A large room is this
kitchen, flanked on one side by a long
range, and on the other by a table.
Over the fire is stewing the invariable
cauidron- of pigs feet. Drop into a
Chinese restaurant at any hour of the
day or night. and you will find this
dainty dish simmering on the Goals. 1t
is like the poor-they always have it
with them. Lift the cover of another
dish and you find the bean cakes, which
bear too strong resemblance in size
and color to small cakes of cheap vel
low soap to commend them to Ameri-
can palates. Another tin boiler con-
tains round white dumplings, and still
another egg cakes-both standard dish
es Tor breakfast and lunch. The kitch-
ell is connected directly with the sec
ond-class dining-room, fitted up with
small, dingy tables and the usual Chi
nese chairs with wooden seats and no
backs. Very feeble attempts at deco
ration are made here, and the place has
the dreary look and musty smell of a
cheap American eating house.
Pass up still another stairway, steep
and crooked, and the dining-room Of
the first class is reached-a spacious
room' well lighted and tastefully orna-
mented. Here are three large round
tables OF old Chinese oak, to which long
use has given the polish and deep ruby
color OF fine rosewood. Their beauties
are hidden by no cloths. About each
are placed dozen chairs of the same
substantial material These tables are
laid for dinner parties. which are to be
held few hours later. The place of
each guest is marked by two fine ivory
chop sticks, q curious porcelain wine
glass and little dish filed with ginger
preserves. Along the balcony in front

The court in the case Of the the Whitta-
ker case, have reached a conclusion and
agreed upon report, which has been sign.
ed by all the members--as follows:
From the strong array Of oircumstantial
evidence, from the testimony Of experts in
handwriting, and from the conflicting
statements Of Cadet Whitaker, and the
lack Of veracity evinced by him in certain
cases during the investigation, as shown
by the evidence, the Court is Of the opin-
ion that the imputation upon the charac-
ter Of Cadet Whitaker referred to in the
order convening the Court, and contained
in the official reports Of the Commandont
Of Cadets and Post Surgeon, is fully sus-
tanned. When the report was sent Gene
raj Sohofield, he directed the arrest Of
Whitaker, and placed him in confinement
in his room, but the prisoner still asserts
his innocence.
