Human Skulls as Drinking Cups.

A writer in LOngmldn's Magazine
has some grave suspicious about the
drinking cups used by paleolithic men.
1t is pretty clear, he says, that the earli-
est drinking vessels used in Europe
were neither bowls of earthenware
nor shells of fruits, for the cold climate
of interglaeical times did not permit
the growth in northern ATTITUDES of
such large natural vessels as gourds,
calabashes, bambOos, or cocOanuts.
In all probability the horns of the
aurochs and the wild cattle and the
spacious skull of the fellow-man whose
bones he had just picked at his ease
for his canribal supper formed the
aboriginal goblets of the old black
European savage. A curious verbal
relic of the use of horns as drinking
cups survives, indeed, down to almost
modern times in the Greek word kerr
annie, still commonly applied to the
art of pottery, and derived, of course,
from keras, horn; while as to skulls,
not only were they frequently used as
drinking cups by our Scandinavian
ancestors, but still exists very sngu-
lar intermediate vessel in which the
clay has actually been nodded on a
human skull as model, just as other
vessels have been nodded on calaba-
shes or other suitable vegetable shapes,

trouble blows over. The operation
of giving them a dinner is to shake
the buzzing contents of a fy-trap into
the tank, and quickly replace the
gauze cover. After the first furry the
flies fall to braiding their hind legs and
polishing their eyes after the custom
of blue-bottles, and then the major
gets in his fine work by Tipping his
tongue at the nearest. All you can
perceive is that the fly vanishes, while
the major winks one eye in slow but
significant way. No fly escapes his
deadly aim, which is pointblank at
four inches. After filing away couple
of dozens he allows Tommy to take
whack, and then the abused troglo-
dytes pop timidly up from the depths,
and bearing carefully to windward of
the majors kick proceed to go for the
remainder. The limit to bullfrOg's
appetite is that of his skin stretched
to its utmost. The major weighs two
ounces when hungry, and he has forty
six blue bottles, four angle-worms,
two wasps, and June bug before ex-
tending the courtesy of the larder TO
Tommy. Their food is largely a mat
ter of education. The general prln-
ciple implanted in bullfrog's mind
is that anything that moves is good to
eat dangled bare hook over one
in the creek the other day, and he

surprised when l landed him, but
dove back cheerfully on being releas-
ed, popped up his head after a minute,
swallowed the same hook again, was
again released, only to snap it up
when rendered for the third time.
This shows that steadfast adherance
to principle is one feature of the high

THE LATE MRS. GAINES.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
Attorneys representing Mrs. Maria Per-

opened succession proceedings, and offered
for probate will OF Mrs. Myra Clark
Gaines, dated January 8, 1885, naming
Mrs. Evans as administrative of her estate
Mrs. Gaines leaves property in this State
and Washington city. This will, the clerk
stated, was in Mrs. Gaines handwriting.
Soon after the above proceedings, an attor-
ney appeared in court with another will
naming VIM. II. Wilder and ]. Y. Christ
mas as executors.
"These persons were astonished to hear
that succession proceedings had already
been begun, and asserted that Mrs. Gaines
could not write on January s, rs she was
too III on that date. The will they offered
is dated January 3, 1885, is in nuncupative
form, and was signed with her mark In
the presence of five well-known citizens,
who signed as witnesses. After few be-
quests, Mrs. Gaines wills that her estate be
distributed equally among her six grand
children"

Tho Police Court was filed with beer
brewers and beer kegs this morning, In con-
sequence of charge brought by one we'll
known brewer against another. The de-
fendaDt was Jacob Roth, of First street,
near d street northeast, and the complain
ant was John o. Guethler, of Il street, be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets east.
Mr. John g. Clarke appeared for the de-
iehdsnt. Prosecuting Attorney Thomas
stated that he would show that Mr..
uuethler had lost more than 81 900 worth of
kegs, and that seven kegs that belonged to
Mr.. duethler were found at Roth's brew
cry. lie said he would also show that a
large number Of Guethler's kegs had been
disguised mt Roths place. He would show
that tho names were shaved of aud the
namo OF Guethler was filed of the iron
bung.
Mr.. Guethler was called 10 the stand. He
stated that he had lost several hundred
beer kegs. Yesterday Ia company with
Detectives Carter and Cox, he found seven

lie always sent them right back however.
John Winkler was called and swore that
he WAS recently in the employ OF Mr.. Roth.
He was cooper by trade and often took
the heads out of Guethler's kegs aud shaved
the name off and put them back, aud the
name was also filed of the iron buugs He
got his instructions from the foreman, but
never from Mr.. Roth.
Judge Smell at this point said :.-"I am not
going to hastily jump at the conclusion
that man Is guilty Of larceny whore there
10 another remedy and the business of the
parties is such that mistakes may occur"
He also said that the person to whom
the beer is delivered in the kegs is liable
to the brewer for the value of tho kegs.
Continuing, he said
1T seems little irregular for a brewer
to prosecute fellow. dealer for the larceny
Of few kegs under these circumstances"
Henry Wunder said he worked in Roth's
brewery, and he called Mr.. Roth's attel-
tion TO some kegs there with strange names
on them. Mr.. Roth replied that it was
none OF witness business He said heads
had been taken out of kegs aud new heads
put in and Mr.. Roth's name stamped on
them. He had known Mr.. Roth to send
kegs back that were brought to his place
and were found to belong TO other brewers
Herman Hobleman said he was driver
for MIR. Roth until recently, but was dis
charged for getting drunk. He said he
usually drank from half barrel down to
one-eighth Of barrel of beer day. Mr..
Thomas objected to question of Mr.. Clarke.
"Oh, I'm not going to knock the witness
down." said Mr.. Clarke. ooh, no, guess
not" said the fat German, "you can't"
The court said it was civil and not n
criminal one, and he would dismiss the
case. A similar charge against Mr.. Roth,
in which Robert Portner was the com.
plainant, was noll prosecuted.

DR.. Linthicum's Death.

The sister of DR.. Linthcum, who died in
Kearney, Neb., the other day, under sus-
picious circumstances, was seen In Balti-
more to-day by a gentleman Of this city.
The body, which was sent on, was buried
yesterday at Millersville, Nd, where the
family burying-ground is located.
The deceased's sister thinks that her
brother met with foul play. She has re-
peatedly telegrspbed to jackson, but has
received but one reply, which simply stated
that the body had been sent on and that
the deceased had died of apoplexy. She has
heard from other people, however. What
they say is directly at variance with jack
sons statement.
A gentleman who went to Jackson's
house to sit up with DIR. Linthicum was
told bis services were not needed, Jackson
saying that he would take care Of the pa
tient. The sister has received notification
from the authorities OF Kearney that they
have taken charge Of the affairs of the de-
ceased and will see that what property he
left is sent 10 his relatives. The result
of the inquest is expected every day. 1t
seems to be pretty certain that there was

Of Thomas johnson, colored, charged with
stealing set Of harness from his en-
ployer, George Cortin. Mr., o. s. b. Wall,
a colored attorney, appeared for tho ac-
cused, and asked some of the witnesses for
the prosecution If they had not been to the
penitentiary. They had not, and Judge
Smell came to the rescue Of the witnesses
and told Mr.. Wall that he had no right to
ask witness such question when he had
no information to prove that the witnesses
lad been to the penitentiary, and such con-
duct was q disgrace to the profession. IF
a man would ask mo that question would
knock him down." said His Honor. Mr..
Wall said that he had been informed by an
attorney that the witnesses had been sent
TO the penitentiary.
