A REMARKABLE DIsCovERY.-A
natural curiosity that bids fair to out
rival the famous Mammoth cave of
Kentucky has just been discovered
on the farm of John Davis, who re-
sides six miles east of Jacksboro,
Compbell county, Tenn. This cave,
judging from reports, "takes the
cake," and promises to pan out sat-
isfactory dish for the curiosity seek
ers.
Only one chamber has been ex-
plored thus far, and that only partly,
in which prehistoric mummies, with
sandals on their feet, in excellent
state of preservation, have been
found, some petrifed, others preserv-
ed by the salt of the cave.
The walls of the chamber are dec
Grated with paintings of extinct or
imaginary animals. A large stream
abounds with fish. A portion of the
chamber contains pieces of cruciDles
and indications of fine work in metal.
Mr.. Davis has captured a species
of jsckal or red fox, and the cave
seems to be alive with both animal
and vegetable life.' Crickets as large
as English sparrows hop or leisurely
walk off when alarmed, and rats as
large as jack-rabbits run about in
semi-domestlc recognition. Foot
prints of exquisite mold are well-de-
fined in the hardened mud, and min
iature forests along the bank OF the
river are clothed in snow white foli-
age and sensitive howers.-Cincir'-

WISER THAN SOLOMON

ssDo yon see that old fellow sitting

said a guest of the Grand Pacific last
evening, pointing to an elderly indl-
vidual who was reclining on one Of
the sofas in the lobby. ''He is the
most unconscionable land-grabber in
America. He and l came in together
from st. Paul to-day, and he told Inc

back East and married widow, who
had one widowed and three. Old-maid

here. Then the old man entered a
claim, and the daughters, four OF
them, all entered claims alongside.
So there you have it. The old man
practically owns 800 acres OF land.
He built the girls shanties on their

An important geographical fact
brought out at the meeting of the
British association for the advance
ment of science at Montreal shows
that we have no need to go to the
Arctic for useful information. Gen.
LEROY read paper communicating
the exploration of Lake Mistassini,
the discovery of which has been be-
fore reported. This lake, situated in
a remote northeastern part of North
America, rivals in maghitude Lake
Ontario, if not Lake Superior, and
nobody ever heard of it until recently.
There are vast stretches of terri
tory to the north of US that have nev-
er been visited by civilized men, and
ambitious scientists may profitably
turn their attention in that direction.

Continued from last week
Prof. ID. V. s. Reid introduced the
subject of how to secure punctuality.
The teacher should show the necessity
to the scholar of being punotual. He
should enforce the laws which tho state
has passed on tho Subjact, but should DO
governed by circumsta nces,f FOR there arc
cases where tho rule can not DO enforc-
ed. The teacher should be in harmony
with the parents il possible. lie should
act promptly and with Judgment. He
should remember that he ia tho servant /
OF the people but should always do
what was right. The teacher should be
firm.
Miss Ella Mcbride said ii was wrong

question with her was what punishment

Prof Reid thought it depended on
circumstances. IL the boy did it on his
own account, trnAntIy, he would punish
him with whip. If kept out by Il
parent who refused to send the oxcuse
he would require the excuse, before al
lowing the pupil to return but would
