Relics of an Ancient Race.

Recent explorations in Spain by two
Belgian scientists have resulted in some
very interesting discoveries. Relics of a
prehistoric race have been found in great
abundance, ranging from the stone age
to that of bronze and metals. These
people buried their dead not only in
stones, graves and cells, but also in great
jars of burnt cla-, accompanied by
pieces of pottery and other articles of use
and value. This form of jar burial is
very widespread and examples have been
found from Japan to Peru. These relics
are supposed to belong to that ancient
race which lived in europe previous to
the Aryan immigration, the various
branches of which are known as Iberians,
Pelasgians, Ligurians, etc., according to
the country in which they lived. Sew
eral skeletons were found adorned with
silver and gold orea'nents. One of the
most remarkable relics Is female skull
encircled by band of silver, to which is
attached thin plate Of the same metal.

A Test OF Good Breed Ing.

Travelling is one of the severest tests Of
good breeding; and whoever leaves home
to go to the seaside or to the mountains,
does well to bear this fact i'm mind. Al
the places of summer resort, too, people
are more in danger of making disadvant-
ageous, or even Objectionable, acquain,
tanceships than they are at their own
homes, from the very fact that here all
the world meets on "a more familiar foot
ing; and as every person is stranger to
every other, people of doubtful character
or reputation in their native places, often
succeed in passing themselves off for what
they are not, in the crowd of watering
place.
All this is so thoroughly recognized at
Newport and other large and exclusive
summer resorts that stranger, genteel
or otherwise, will find great difficulty in
making any acquaintances among the
''summer people," as they are called. II
he have no friend to introduce him, and
bring no letter Of introduction, he need
not hope to join in the gayety which no
sees around him. He is only specta-
tor, and probably leaves his hotel at this
end of August, thoroughly disgusted
with the invisible but firm barriers which
have excluded him from the charmed
circle.-Demorest's Monthly.

Intelligence of Driver Ants,

Driver ants not only build boats, but
launch them, too; only these boats are
formed of their own bodies. They are
called "drivers" because of their ferocity.
Nothing can stand before the attacks of
these little creatures. Large pythons
have been killed by them in a single
night, while chickens, lizards and other
animals in western Africa flee from them
in terror. To protect themselves from
the heat they erect arches under Which
numerous armies of them pass In safety.
Sometimes the arch is made of grass and
earth and gummed together by some Sc
cretion, and again it is formed by the
bodies of the larger ants, which hold
themselves together by their strong nip
pers while the workers pass under them.
AT certain times Of the year freshets
overflow the country inhabited by the
drivers, and 1t is then that these ants go
to sea. The rain comes suddenly, and
the walls of their houses are broken in
by the flood, but, instead of coming to
the surface in scattered hundreds and
being swept off to destruction, out of the
ruin rises black ball that rides safely
On the water and drifts away. At the
first warning of danger the little crea-
lures rush together and form solid body
Of ants, the weaker in the center. Often
the ball is larger than a common base
ball, and in this way they float about
until they lodge against some tree. upon
the branches of which they are soon safe
and sound.-St. Nicholas.

A beautiful specimen of the celebrated
West India cuculo, or fire beetle, was
caught the other night in a door yard in
Brooklyn by a little daughter of Mr..
Stephen Avenll 1t is about an inch and
a half long, and upon the thorax are two
eye like spots, resembling those of an
ordinary water beetle. When the insect
is placed in the dark these spots shine
with greenish light, strong enough to
produce perceptible illumination around
them. From the segments of the body
underneath the wing covers similar
illumination is produced. The intensity
of the light Is apparently under the in
sect's control. When undisturbed for a
time the light gradually fades out, but if
its antenn~ are touched, or it is otherwise
irritated, the oval spots on its back and
its body underneath glow with surprising
splendor. So bright is the light that the
insect fitting among the trees ON the
evening Of its capture was at first mis-
taken for q toy fire balloon. 1t may
have been brought to Brooklyn in some
fruit laden schooner. New York Sun.

Slave to the Quinine Habit

tall, fine looking woman, dressed IN
the latest fashion, entered an uptown
drug store the other evening, and, ap-
preaching the counter, leaned wearily
against it. The clerk, who was waiting
on another customer, reached to shelf,
and taking down little box shook three
pills into bit of paper. He passed them
to the fashionable lady and gave her a
glass of mineral water. After putting
the pills in her mouth the lady drank the
water, and with sigh of relief hurried
from the shop. Not word passed be-
tween either customer or clerk, and no
money was paid for the pills.
"Well, that beats me-" exclaimed a
visitor.
'It is rather singular" said the clerk,
smiling, "but such things happen here
every day. That customer is well known
in the social world. She has got the
quinine habit, which will kill her in the
end. There is too much of this ouinine
business going on, but we have to keep
up with the times. That lady exhausted
herself in social and charitable visits,
and then began to take five grain pill
Of quinine to brace up on. She did it by

every evening she advanced to fifteen,
and soon she will want twenty. She

them and the deaths from barbarous
treatment, the slave trade counts z, 2,000.-

Next Wednesday takes place the cleo
ton in tho city to determine whether 70
shall issue $4,000 Of city bonds. to ex-
tend the water works OF the city, and
5000 to aid in tho construction Of q
wagon bridge across the Platte.
In certain quarters both these .propo-
Gtions have been attacked, for special
reasons, not necessary here to mention.
The truth ia; in our opinion, that the
waterworks should, ut first, have inclu-
ded what is now. sought to be added.
OF course protection was given at first
to the business potion Of the city, (which
was proper enough, being that part the
loss OF which would be most seriously
felt. With good protection against fire
better business houses will be erected,
that would not be thought Of without
that protection. The time is coming
before long, If it is, indeed, not now here,
when the demand will be strong for pro-
lection Of dwelling houses. We think
that time is at hand and shall vote ac-
cordingly: It has been said that the
extension will not benefit the poor man,
only the rich; this is q mistake. Let
moro water be used and the city will be
compelled to keep the supply full and
fresh. Then, everybody will want the
water from the public wells. There is
no. doubt whatever that, when kept
flowing, the water is much better and
purer than from the ordinary wells, and
certainly much moro convenient Tor
many purposes Besides, it is as import
ant that the homes OF the poor be pro-
.tected from fire as the homes OF the rich;
the health of their wives and little ones
is as dear to them as to any; their gar
dens and lawns are as great pleasure
to them as to any; with the use OF water
at every garden and lawn in the city,
what wonderful change would be seen!
And at what slight cost, too, all things
considered!
As to the bridge bonds, no sane man
disputes the fact that We need the bridge.
The only question is as to how to get it.
II there is better way than that pro-
posed or any other feasible way, he who
knows it ought to spesk out.
It is certainly to the interest OF every
man who owns property here or does
business Of any kind in the city to ex-
tend and perfect facilities for transact
ing business with the residents of this
section OF the state. No question Of
that, and it is q mere figuring of a slight
expenditure to receive q large addition
to the income-a permanent advantage.

SOAAOO4S&o1eDoA8eSJ
Senator Sherman made q few remarks
in the senate on Friday that started the
tongues Of all the politicians Wagering,
and they are still going at . fearful
rate. He said that the committee on
finance would report q republican tariff
bill designed to protect and further
American industries as against the free
trade Mills tariff which was intended to,
and did, weaken many industries OF the
country; that the bill reported would be
q careful revision of the tariff laws and
Of the internal revenue laws; it would
give to the men engaged in the arts the
use Of alcohol untaxed and would
sweep away the tobacco tax, giving that
great agricultural product fair and free
play in this country, but tho committee
would take its time about il. II the
house Of representatives wished to pro-
long tho session until the tariff bill vas
reported it would have to wait until the
committee was ready to report. After
having taken months in preparation and
passage Of . tariff bill It did not rest
with the democrats to charge the repub-
licans with delay. He asserted that the
republicans would not be hurried in
preparing . bill; that they intended to
take all the time they deem necessary
for tho framing . bill; they did not caro-
how much time it might require; it
might as we'll be understood that this
was the republican fiat. Mr.. Sherman
then intimated that the bill might not
be reported until after the presidential
election, in order that the wishes OF the
people might be known. Should the
people vote for free trade BY the 10
election OF Cleveland, then it would Be
well to give them such Q dose . the
Mills bill, but should protection b
maintained then perhaps Tho democrats
would be willing to accept tho repubh-
can bin. Az the speech Of Nr. Sherman
was tho 6fst Official intimation that The
republican tariff bin might not b re-
ported until after The election, il Great
