The site of the ancient Egyptian city
of Zoan, often spoken of in the Bible,
and which Ezekiel prophesied would be
destroyed by fire, has been found and is
now undergoing a thorough examina-
ton. Many interesting discoveries have
been made which will still further eluci-
date that Egyptian life and history of
which already we have so full an ac-
count. A curious find is that of the
house of an amateur artist of the ancient
world, whose studio has been examined
and it is found that he was as choice of
his implements as modern dabblers in
the fine arts always are. He had a very
fine palette of limestone ground perfectly
smooth with twelve little depressions to
hold his colors. These he used only in a
liquid state. His palette knife was made
of silver, highly decorated by engraving,
and the little jars to hold his paints were
of the finest glazed ware.
Specimens of his own work were
found, but they were very poor, while
his collection of bric-a-brac, including
bronze figures, glazed pottery of various
makes, and delicate glass objects of diff
ferent sorts, was very fine. He owned a
p~lano-convex lens, and he had almost
the only specimen of ancient painted
glass yet discovered. In fact, an artists
studio of olden time seems to have re-
sembled an artists studio of the present
day in this at least, that the more show
was made the less work was DONE

T%hirty-five bridges, three railway lines,

increased "a per cent, and its expendi-
ture 90 per cent There are 910 public

scholars, and these schools do not include
those private institutions designed for the
study of special branches. The army is
on a good footing, having 1000 men,
volunteers and regulars, fully equipped
with-the newest styles of arms. The
navy is on an equally good footing. The
public debt has been reduced more than
$12, 600, 900, and the issue of paper money
has been reduced 3d. 600, 900. - Frank

A very sensible physician who lives in
a fashionable suburb, tells me that there
is not a man residing in the village and
doing business in Chicago who is not a
dyspeptic. The cause of this, he says, is
well known among physicians practicing
in the suburban towns of large cities. 1t
is the effect of having to catch a train.
The stomach is as easily prevented from
secreting the gastric juice as a COW is
from giving down her milk. The cow
must be calm and happy or the milk will
not come; and the man must be quiet,
leisurely and free from anxiety when he
eats or the descent of food into his stom-
ach will produce a very imperfect flow
of gastric juice, and a tendency to fer
mentation and irritation instead of diges-
ton.
Now, these fellows that live in the su-
burbs, so my medical friend says, always
eat breakfast with the timetable in their
minds and their eyes On the clock. More
over, it often happens that they are a
few minutes late, and they make up for
this by taking a good run to catch the
train. This violent exercise aggravates
the harm already done, and before the
man is aware of it he has become a
chronic dyspeptic.-Cor. Chicago Jour
nal.

The Irish possessed four kinds of harps
the Clarsech, or common harp; the
Ceirnin, or small religious harp; the
Ciunard, Cruit, Or high-headed harp; and
the Crom Cruit, or down bending harp.
The first was that used by the bards and
harpers, and is the Irish harp properly
SO called; the second, more exclusively
clerical, probably accompanied DruidicaI
as later Christian hymns. Perhaps,
says Walker, tut supra) this instrument
was sacred to Karneios, or Apollo, when

[Vallancey, Collect, de rebus Hib.' In
Arabic, Keren implies the rays of the
sun, with which the poet tells III Apollo's
lutte was always strung"
The Clunard Cruit and Crom Cruit,
though styled harps, were more strictly
of tho violin and guitar types; indeed,
they may be considered the
parents of those instruments.
The former had ten strings and was
played on with a plectrum, or bow; the
latter possessed six strings, two of which
were touched with the thumb. Bunting

four given by Walker and commonly re-
ferred to the Craiftin's Cruit, a name
derived from an Irish legendary hero,
and the Lub, a poetical name of the

The woods of South America arc ol
worldwide fame. Steaming up the Par
ana, with a cargo of furniture and uten'
sis manufactured in New England, one
is surprised to meet a ship loaded with
the hard native woods so coveted in oui
northern cities, going 1000 or 5000 miles
to the New England factories, whence II
will return to the parlors and homes OF
Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. Or II
your steamer is laden with French wines
and brandies, it seems comical to anchor
by the side of a vessel taking a cargo OF
q~uebrahco wood, shipped to france to be
ground up and manufactured into French
wine and French brandy. More than
so, 900 tons a year are shipped for this
purpose. This wood is worth IS per ton
at the river bank and $1+ in Buenos
Ayres.
Five thousand men are now employed
in getting out this wood for the wine
factories and railroad ties. This wood is
very hard. Itsname means "ax-breaker.'
1t is very heavy. 1t will not float in
water. 1t is very enduring. Posts OF
quebracho set in the ground to form the
sides of houses in the days of the Incas,
before the coming of the Spaniards 35C
years ago, are as sound to-day as when
they were first placed there. We are
familiar in North America with many OF
these woods-mahoganies, walnuts,
cedars, etc. When we have better
meal of communication we shall be-
come acquainted with many more Of
these valuable South American woods

A dentist can not be too careful how
he handles his instruments; they come
into contact with all kinds of diseased
bone and tissue, and there is consider
able danger of being %inoculated from
them. l knew a very bright young fell
low who became afflicted with what he
feared was a cancer of the mouth. He
went around with his face tied up for a
month or two, but finally got well, and
the fact developed that he had contracted
the trouble by once putting a plugger be-
tween his teeth when very busy. An old
timer is always careful in handling his
instruments, and never lets the points
touch his fingers. A patient owes it to
himself to see that every piece of steel
that touches his mouth is perfectly clean
and bright before the work begins.-Dr.
Taft in Globe Democrat.

A LITTLE SUFFERER
CI,ansed, Purified and Beautihed by the
Cutlcura Remedies.

1t affords lie pleasure to give you this
report of the cure Of our little grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began to swell
and had every appearance Of a large boil.
We poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About five months after it became a run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
then had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure it took less time for them to break
Out. A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
Ills head was one solid scab discharging n
great deal. This was his condition at %
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (%scrofula, of c%ourse). He could walk
a little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for a year and a half. One sore
after another healed, a bony matter form
ing in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing. which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a hall bottles he was compile
tely cured. and is now at the age of 6
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never be able to use
them. All that physicians did TOR him did
him no good. All who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider it n wonderful cure. If
the above facts are Of any use to you. you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. +. S.
