The prince OF Montenegro has authorized

code OF his primitive domain. The collec-

and reads like the decalogue OF some eastern

~presumptive coadministrlt or OF his neigh
bors' property, and Is supposed to aid them
in the enforcement OF parental discipline,
the collection Of debts, the completion of
necessary repairs
Various offenses are published by the
temporary loss Of the privilege Of carrying
arm Drunkards and rowdies are confined
to their houses for periods varying from one

they shall not be prevented from attending
shooting matches or public debates affecting
the welfare Of the community. Orphans
are permitted 10 board around-trying their
pot-luck here and there, but with the option
10 stay where their treatment encourages

A Now Series Discovered Along the Penn .
bina Kiver-Intere-ung Specimens
A recent dispatch from Montreal said
that the scientific men Of Canada Intended
to ask the government to defray the cost OF
making a thorough exploration OF the
mounds In the Canadian northwest Over
fifty Of these interesting remains OF an IN
cient race have thus far been discovered,
chiefly along the Rainy, Red, and Pembina
rivers, IN Manitoba and the northwest ter
ritory. II was thought until last year that
Winnipeg wns the northern limit OF the
mound builders Later discoveries, how
ever, brought TO light a new series Of
mounds along the Pembina river far west
and $50 miles north of Winnipeg, and it ia
very probable that other work Of tho mound
builders VIII be found still further north
along the streams that have their rise in the
foot hills OF the Rocky mountains
Situated in the midst OF these cemet9ries,
Notifications, and lookouts Of the ancient
aborigines, the Historical society OF winni
peg i~naugurated the work OF explorations a
little over two years ago. It has opened
sev mi mounds along the Rod and Rainy
rivers, and has obtained quite a number Of
specimens Of human bones, stone scrapers
and axes, charred wood and bark, copper
needles, drills and knives, and pottery,

ANTIQUITIES FROM FLINT JACK.
A Mas who Mad HI. Living Manufactur-

Flint lack was born in 1915 near whitby,
In Yorkshire. England His real name APP
pears to nave been Edward Simpson, though
he went at one time under the name Of
Cockney Bill, and is known to fame chiefly
through bis exploits under the sobriquet Of
FLINT Jaek.rf Somsof his early years he
spent as servant or assistant to a gentleman
engaged in geological pursuits, and he
appears to have been known at that time as
Fossil Willy" While engaged in this ser
vice he learned the value placed by col
lectors upon relics of ancient people In
ls43 he saw a British flint arrowhead, and
q successful attempt TO copy 1t seems TO
have been the turning point to his career.
From that time forth he never looked for
antiquities. To search for them involved
nrduous labor, often fruitless; to manu,a.t-
urs them he found 10 be easy and certain
SO ho turned out Arrow-heads, urns, beads,
seals and antiques of any kind which he
could reasonably expect TO palm of as gem
uine. He rose above arrow heads and in
dulged In ancient pottery. Once he sue
c. eded in selling a very curious antique urn
to a collector. By some mishap tho urn
was shattered and the fragments were given
back to Jack to take away and mend. In
due time he brought back the urn ma le
whole again. The purchaser afterward
that a portion of the broken urn had
not been given to Jack He was amazed
TO discover that Notwithstanding this Jack
had completely restored the urn.
Once, 1t Is related, he got a large sum for
an ancient breast-plate which he had fash
Toned from ar oil tea-tray which no had
picked up in his travels Another exploit
was the production OF a Roman milestone
at a time when such a relic was sure to COM
mand q good price. Then he produced a
stone from this bottom of some stream hav-
Ing an odd and antique looking ms ,ription.
He used to bury his ~antiquaries and bring
them to the surfaces as occasion arose. Jack,
when squarely cornered woull admit that
the arti-ls he offered for sale was only a
"dlpli ate" and then talk his customer into
buying It as a copy Of an antique. Latter.y
he freely admitted his frauds, and seemed
quite proud OF his skill. He was publ -ly
introduced at a mseting of geo.ogists in

seemed to lie that "chloral was an uncertain

others are by a dose OF twenty grains
Cases were reported where 800 grains per
day had been given, ami one case reported
by DR.. Beck, OF the Baden army, where $50
grains were given in three and a half hours,
the pltient sleeping for thirty hours and
recovering.
The profession also agreed that chloral
