AyOung Mexican child was taken captive, but was afterwards found murdered on the trail. its brains having been beaten out with a rock. Mir.

The First Advertisement.

Ii might be supposed that these an
nounccmcnts of births, marriages, and
deaths. so interesting and valuable as
we have found them to be, would early
have found place in our newspapers.
Such, however, was not the case until
they had reached Il pretty mature age,
although the earliest representative of
our newspaper, the Acta Diurna of tho
Romans. contained such lists. The first
paper in Britain published at stated in
tervals for the dissemination of intelli-
gence was the WeckcIy Nea0es, the first
number of which was published in Lon
don on the 23d of May, 1922. 1t was
destitute of advertisements. and, indeed,
contained very little news. The first
advertisement appeared on the I'd of
April. 1917, in No. - of a weekly paper
called Perfect Occurrences of Ercry Daic
JOurndH IN Parliament and Other M0der-
ate MtcHigcnce-a name that would
make our newsboys frantic-and relates
to "A book applauded by the clergy. of
England, called The due Right of
Church Government" For several
years booksellers were the only advcr-
tisers. but as the newspapers began to
circulate more among the less educated
classes, other kinds of advertisements
appeared, and the columns gradually
assumed more business-like aspect
The Mercusius P0titieus, of Sept. 80,
1859, contained the first trade advertise
ment, which relates the charms of the
new ''drink called by the Chineans Tcha.

The Parable of the Pumpkin.

The storyis told of an excellent Ameri-
can minister who, happening one day
to pass by the door of u room where his
daughters and some other young friends
were assembled, thought, from what
he overheard, that they were making
too free with the character of thcirneigll-
bors; and after their visitors had depart
ed he gave his children lecture on the
sinfulness of scandal, They answered:
but, father, what shall we talk about?'
"If you can't do anything else" replied
he. ''get a pumpkin and roll it about;
that will be at least innocent diversion"
A short time after, an association of
ministers met at his house, and during
the evening some discussions on points
of doctrine were earnest, and their voices
We're so loud as to Indicate the danger
of losing their Christian temper; when
the eldest daughter, overhearing them,
procured pumpkin and, entering the
room, gave it to her father, and said:-
There, father, roll it about" The min
lister was obliged to explain to his breth-
rem. and good humor was instantly re-
stored. Methodist.

A Good Find,

About yearago Il young man named
Conover had II dream that a large lump
of gold could be found in Il certain place
on the farm then occupied by his father
in Lima township, but took no notice of
the circumstance further than to tell his
father of it; but about week ago this
young man again had the same dream,
and in the morning again told his faith
er. The young man remembered the
exact location which he saw while
dreaming. and the father proposed to
the son that they investigate. They
proceeded to the spot, and after stick
ing the pick into the ground several
times, struck what they supposed to be
rock. They dug it out. and sure enough
it looked like a huge lump of gold. and
when examined by those who profcssed
to know, was declared to be solid gold.
The find weighed nine pounds, and con-
tains Sl,92S worth of the precious met
al. 1t is probably some Indian relic, as
the shape of it is similar to the stone
hatchets found in the mounds in this
vicinity. The lump has been seen 10y a
number of people living in Lima town
ship, and this find is particularly accep-
table to Mr.. Conovcr's family, rs they
are said to be poor people.-Qaincy

Shark Skins

The skins of certain sharks are used
in jewelry for sleeve buttons and the
like. and when dried and cured take a
polish almost equal to that of stone, and
greatly resemble the fossil coral pOriteS.
The vertebre of the shark are always in
demand for canes. The opening filled
with marrow during life is now filled
with Il steel or iron rod. The side open
ings are filled with mother of pearls,
and when polished the cane is decidedly
ornamental. In India, in 1880. $780,
600 worth of shark fins were shipped to
China for food. In the islands of the
Pacific the fish is in great demand for
its teeth, which are manufactured into
weapons of various kinds, ranging from
spears to swords and daggers. The
teeth, are all serrated or saw edged, and
make terrible wounds. The base of the
tooth is bored with some instrument.
and forty or fifty of them are tied or
dashed to hardwood sword, forming
the edge. The hilt is also protected by
cross pieces armed in the same way.
So effective are these weapons that the
natives of these islands wear an armor
made of rope especially to protect them
selves from the sharks teeth.-Sca

Observation-Disclosures.

DIR. Jeff'ries, the oculist, has discover
ed thousands of eases Of color-blindness.
Should he extend his observations, he
would find scores of persons afflicted
with the singular disease of umbrella
blindness. They are SO dim-sighted as
to select another mans umbrella for
their own. The following is ease in
point:
A Boston man on recent rainy day
saw Il gentleman ahead of him with n
handsome silk umbrella. Recognizing
him rs friend, he rushed up, clapped
Il hand on his shoulder and shouted, by
way of joke:
"I'lltake that umbrella, you please"
The individual addressed looked
around and disclosed an entire stranger,
but before the other could apologize no
said. hurriedly, "Oh, it's yours, is it?
Well, l didn't know that. Here, you
can have it," and broke away, leaving
the umbrella in his hand.

A NeiChhnrlv Family.

A family named Brooks, from down
in Indiana. moved into house in Peoria
recently, and before night had borrowed
tea, sugar, eggs, milk, and kerosene
from us many different ncighbors. Al
ter three or four days the new family
ceased to borrow promiscuously. and
settled down on one particular neiShbor.
At IN early hour in the morning n small
boy appeared and said:
Say, we are out of tacks and want
to put down our carpet. Ma wants To
know if she can borrow a few"
A hunt was made, and the request
granted. but i'm ten minutes the boy re-
turned and said:
Say. we've mislaid our tack ham

He got it, and this time it was twenty
minutes before he returned and said:
Say. mas pulled all her teeth ont
pulling on that carpet. She wants Ia
know if you won't lend her one of your

One of the boys was sent over, but it
was an obstinate carpet, and back came
the messenger with:

Yes; what do YOU want?'

somewhere, and she wants to borrow

A Regimehtal Pet Antelope.


A doe antelope, about fortnight old,
was caught near q garrison town in IN
dia, in 1875, and was adopted by the
English regiment stationed there. Says
the London Illustrated Sporting and
Dramatic NeUS: ''She was 'nursed' anil
brought up by Corporal Ward of the
drums. and though very wild at first,
soon evinced II strong taste for music,
SO much so that, after about six months
drill. she was handed over to the band,
and from that time marched at the head
of the regiment on all occasions.
."FrOm India Fan came to England,
where the officers of the regiment pre-
scented her with massive silver collar
with the regimcntal badge, which she
wore until her death. She had the hon
or of making acquaintance of several of
the Royal Family. On the occasion of
the visit of Ii. Il. II. the Prince of Wales
to lndorc, when the guard of honor was
furnished by the regiment, Fan was
the first to welcome him on his arrival
mt the Residency, and received cordial
notice. On the arrival of the regiment
ut Portsmouth she attracted the notice
of A. 5. II. Princess Edward, of Sake
Weimer, through whose kindly fore
thought a special order was issued to
the little antelope to Craze on the Gov
errors green. She was also much adj
mired and petted by ii. Il. ii. the
Princess of Wales and her children,
while they were staying ut Government
House. Portsmouth. Fan accompanied
the band of the regiment to the Grand
Volunteer Review ut Edinburgh iillSS1,
and, while standing opposite the salut-
ing point, had the honor of attracting
the notice of Her Majesty the Queen.
'After the arrival of the regiment in
Enniskillen, Fan very soon made friends
with the townspeople, and was well
known within radius of six miles of
the town. 1t is believed now that she
was not killed maliciously, but in mis-
take for wild deer that was roaming
about. BE that rs it may, it seems very
hard that, after following the drum for
seven years in India and England, the
pet of the Royal lnniskilling Fusiliers'
should be shot within mile of the very
town from which the regiment takes its
name"
