Important Archaeological Discovery.

At the state department I read the
manuscript report of NJ. Bissinger, our
consul at Beyrout, Syria, announcing an
important archaeological discovery, which
has caused a great sensation in Sedan, a
town of 10000 people, on the east shore
of the Mediterranean. It seems that re-
Gently shaft thirty feet square and
from thirty-fve to forty feet deep was
discovered one mile out of town. Cleared
of the earth this shaft led into a rock
chamber, where at the present time more
than sixteen beautiful and perfectly pre-
served sarcophagi have been found. These
are clay white marble, save one, which
is of black marble, having a peaked
shaped lid. The marble is highly pol
ished, and some of the sarcophagi are
wonderfully carved and very beautiful.
They show in bas relief lions heads,
eagles, horses, centaurs, men, etc. Some
are painted, and others have inscriptions.

How He Got Even.

a little while back there was ''strong
man. who travelled s5out the country
performing very won6 erfs1l feats, but he
had the misfortune to quarrel one night
with an assistant, wlro with superhuman
struggles was wont to hand him the gil
gantic cannon balls necessary for the per-
Torrance. The assistant had demanded
increased wages; the demand was re-
fused. The performance proceeded swim
mingly, but when the applause was at its
height, the assistant collected the objects
on the stage, which in the aggregate
should have weighed about ton and a
half, threw them lightly on a tray, and
jauntily carried off all with one hand.
The strong man. never exhibited at that
place of entertainment again.-Philadel-

On Mount Washington.

E"The view. from Mount Washington,
says my guide book, with pardonable en-
thusiasm, sis incomparably grand. AS
matter of fact, it is a good view, but still
quite comparable, and not good enough
in proportion to the elevation. You are
at the same height as on the top of the
Rigi; but oh, what differencei Mount
Washington towers as the actually high
est peak anywhere around; whereas the
Rigi stands a mere observatory In the
center of a girdle of mountains all in
finitelv grander and nobler than itself. 1
don't want to make ''Odorous'' compari-
sons about the Incompatible; l merely
mean that, all things considered, the
view from the American mountain is not
quite so fine as one might naturally have
expected it to be for its height above sea
level. For one thing, there is little or no
water in sight, only stray lake or two,
shimmering, pond like, in the remoter dis
lance. No near tarns, as in the deep
cOmbes of SnOWdOn; no sea, as from Len
Nevis and Helvellyn; no winding meres,
as when one looks down on Lucerne and
Zurich; rather a tumultuOus mob of
surging mountains like the SeTTied ranks
of the Deeside hills from top of the Loeb
magyar.
Still, will frankly admit it is mag
nifcent prospect in its own way. West
ward, through the faint blue haze, the
Cancels hump and the Green mountains
of Vermont loom indistinctly on the
cloudy horizon. Eastward, the other
great peaks of the presidential range
Jefferson, Adams, Madison-rising to

Decimal Clock in wiesbaden.

There is a decimal clock in Wiesbaden
which is constructed on the following
principles: The day has 10 hours, the
hour 10 decades, each decade 10 minutes,
each minute 10 seconds and each second
10 rays-thus dividing the whole day
into 100, ZOO parts. A similar division is
to be applied to the circle. Herr Moder,
Of that city, goes still further, and pro-
poses to divide the year into 10 months
the even months of SO, the uneven ones
of 81 days each. The advantages of this
decimal system are placed in evidence,
and the inventor hopes to see the same
adopted before long in spite of the present
opposition. York Tribune.

Il is not generally known that the or.

The construction Of watches without
hands has lately attracted some atten-
sion, the usual Lanls being replaced by
figures denoting the hour and minute,
which appear at ope lings in the dial
plate; the mechanism is simple, and only
u few more parts are required than III an
ordinary watch. Two wheels are used
to denote the minutes-One, which
moves forward once in q minute, being
geared to a second one, marked with the
ten minute figures, and every ten min
utes tooth on the first wheel engages
with the teeth on the second, moving it
forward one figure. Thus every minute
of the hour is shown on the face of the
watch, and, at its completion, both min
ute wheels show two ciphers, and are
ready to begin the round again; the
hour is shown on a separate wheel, and
an ordinary hand indicates the sec
onds.
OF the advantages of this kind of
watch, it is remarked that few people
read the time of an ordinary watch &C
curately, and, if the experiment is tried
of glancing at the face in the usual man
ner and then naming the time, it will be
found that an error of from half min
ute to three minutes will be generally
made. With the new watch, it is
claimed, no error can possibly occur, and
there is the added advantage that at the
end of every minute an audible click is
sounded as the number changes, by which
one can measure short intervals of time.

Native Doctors and Their Methods.

Once the difficulties of climate have
been surmOunted, life in Liberia can be
made very agreeable Natives of other
countries coming here, whether black or

against the malaria, and once con-
querors, if they will, may maintain
tolerably good health. Eighteen months

fainting fits and extreme lassitude. A
treatment based on homeopathy and by
dropathy brought me out all right. l
took plenty of exercise and had full
length tepid baths.
Ny husband was Frustrated by the
fever fourteen months after arrival, and
he continued to suffer for about eighteen
months He was then persuaded to try
a native doctor, and after six weeks
steady adherence to her advice became

of fever leaf. pain leaf, Christmas bush,
pIantain leaf and cossie and herb baths.
The doctor was a woman of keen intelli-
gence, about 60 years of age. Although
possessing a thorough knowledge of the
exceedingly modest, and desired that We
should not expect too much from her
skill. Indeed, it is only right to say that
modesty and fairness are characteristics
of native doctors as a whole. Many of
them show a willingness to treat patients
on the principle of no cure no pay.

and let the sap flow into the eyes. 1t
cured them in a few days. All manner
of diseases are treated in this simple way,
and cures effected in a comparatively
short space of time. There is a constant
danger in Liberia from vegetable poison
ing. and but for the knowledge of anti
dotes possessed by native doctors, the loss
of life would be great. The symptoms
vary considerably. Some produce swell
ing like drOpSy, and others instant death.
There is kind of vegetable poison, which,
If applied externally, causes local paral-
ysis.
To guard against the malaria, the first
story windows of the houses are kept
tightly closed every morning until the sun
has done his work Of sanitation. 1t takes
about two hours to make things safe out
of doors. During that time the steam
can be s. en- rising from the ground. Most
foreign, 5 have periodical attacks of
malaria, but | am convinced that their
liability to it is due to lack of care in
eating, bathing, sleeping and exercise.
