VALUABLE DISCOVERY.
Precious Articles Found In the Burial
Place of a Scythian King.

Precious Articles Found In the Burial
Place of a Scythian King.
An interesting account of sepul-
chral discovery made lately in the
Kuban, not far from the Krimskaya
railway station, is given in the Aliege-
meine Zettung. A large vaulted build
ing was found, between sixty and sew
enty feet long. 1t was divided into
three chambers and corridor The
entrance to the innermost chamber
was closed with flags. Within it were
broken iron fragments of wheel and
reins and bones of horse. In q
corner was great amphora of clay,
beside it silver drinking vessel, and
near them about one hundred and fifty
glass beads, some of evidently Egypt
ian origin. Some had the form of a
medallion set in silver. Lying par
allel with the side wall of the first
chamber was the skeleton of a young
woman with her head to the east. The
experts consider she was a Queen.
She had a thick necklet Of gold. Near
her was thin triangular gold plate,
nearly eight inches broad, with holes
at the corner, showing that it was
attached to the dress. Near this again
there were sixteen pigeons cut from
gold leaf and about fifty other articles
similarly cut from gold leaf. Two
gold earrings of filigree work of fine
quality lay near the head of the skele-
ton, upon the arms of which were
massive snake bracelets with horse
heads. A large gold ring was on
finger of the right hand. In the third
chamber was found the skeleton Of
man, together with various articles of
great interest, the most valuable being
q very exquisite culver of silver, in
laid with gold and beautifully worked
with a hundred copper arrows. The
experts are satisfied that this was the
burial place of a Scythian King. The
value of the articles, which have been
conveyed to the Imperial Museum at
st. Petersburg, is fifty thousand rou-

both traits simultaneously displayed.

though kept secret, the seniors are On

pranks, the "undergrads" are not

vASSAR GIRLS AT PLAY,
Feminine Fun in Some of It's Oddest Form

Feminine Fun in Some of Its oldest Forms
and Phases.
The American girls inherent spirit
of fun finds it's vent in hundred ways
that can only be touched on here.
Society at Vassar has its rules of eti-
quette. Each class Freshman, sopho-
more, junior and senior) soon learns
what tradition" demands of it. AZ
ter the summer vacation the entrance
examinations are held and the school
year begins. Then is the season for
visiting the newcomers. Every girl
in the college sallies forth during the
early days of the term, card-case in
hand, to call on the freshmen in her
corridor. If the freshman is out card
is left; Ii in, the acquaintance is formed;
but in either case the call must be re-
turned within week After this calls
and visits are more informal and par
ties given. Each girl is expected to
give party in her room once in the
year. These are invariably held after
ten o'clock, at which hour lights should
be put out; but with closed doors,
carefully shrouded in shawls and wa
terproof cloaks. the night watchman
gets no hint of the designations being
indulged in within. When three girls
share sitting-room, with a bedroom
apiece opening out of it (for most of
these rooms are In groups of this kind),
they combine in the giving of their en-
tertainments, thus saving no small
amount of trouble and expense. Some
lucky ones are assigned sitting-rOom
and bedroom of which they are the
sole mistresses; and there is large
parlor 1--WE should say drawing-room)
which is handed over each year to the
senior class, who appoint committee
from their number to fit it up and fur
nish it according to prevailing taste
and the latest crazes in decorative art.
Besides the individual parties, or
''spreads," there are legitimate class
parties. The seniors invite the
juniors, the juniors the seniors. The
sophomores give the freshmen a party
early in the year. and, later on, invite
them to the 'sTrig" ceremonies, an &C.
centric performance to signalize their
10Y at having finished their course in
trigonometry, to which the freshmen
are still looking forward. The char
acter of the entertainment is burlesque.

THE EARTH'S APEX.
A Climb of the Himalayan Mountains of
Northern India.

Northern India.
People who visit Calcutta seldom
fail to make journey of about 400
miles northward, by the Eastern Ben
gal railway, to Darjeeling. The last
part of this trip is performed on a mar
row-gauge road which climbs the tat
foothills of the Himalayan range in
most curious, zigzag fashion, the road
constantly doubling upon itself at in
teresting elevations. AS the traveller
progresses flocks of Thibet goats ap-
pear, and harder race of men and
women are seen than those left
behind on the plains of Hindustan.
The laborers. seen on the route are
composed Of men, women and girls,
the latter using pick and shovel as
readily as do the men. The people are
from Thibet, Nepaul and Cashmere,
which countries border on Northern
India. These mingled races form pic
turesque groups, the men armed with
long, sword-like knives, and the women
are clad in bright coIors and short
skirts.
When Darjeeling is reached we are
over 1000 feet above the plains, and
here we find ourselves in full view of
the loftiest range of mountains in the
world, literally the apex of the globe.
What the Bernese Oberland range is to
the European Alps, this Kinchinjunga
group is to the sky-reaching Himala-
yas; the former, however, are mere
pigmies compared with these giants at
Darjeeling. The lowest peak is over
10000 feet in height, the tallest over
5000, while Mount Everest, the loft
lest elevation in the world, is $4,000
feet above the level of the sea.
The MISUNDERSTANDING in Sans
krit 'The Halls of Snow"-form the
northern boundary of India, shutting
it off from the rest of Asia. Thibet,
which lies just over the range, is
nearly inaccessible from Darjeeling,
and yet bold parties Of native traders,
wrapped in sheepskins, do sometimes
force their way over the passes at an
elevation of $4,000 feet. 1t is haz-
ardous thing to do, and the bodies Of
worn-out animals mark the frozen
way. Upon the range rest 1900 feet
of perpetual snow. There no animal
life exists. Only the snow and ice rest
there in endless sleep.
We ascend n neighboring hill and
come upon rude Buddhist altar in
the open air, formed of stunted trees
| and rocks. The sacrifice of some ami
NAL must have but lately taken place
here, as there are stains of blood all
about the place. The neighboring
branches Of trees and low bushes are
decked with scraps of blue, yellow and
red cloth, which the guide informs us
are tangible prayers placed here by
| Buddhist worshipers. As we look
about us we enjoy full view Of the
Himalayas, with their silvery, frosted
diadems. faxed with gold by the warm
| rays of the sun, while close at hand
are hundreds of thrifty tea planta-
tions, covering the sloping hillsides
with low, uniform verdure. There
are many wild animals in these hills,

FORTUNES IN PATENTS.

inventor Who Made Mankind Pay Liber-
ally for Their Ingenuity.
The English Commissioner of Pat
ents estimates "that from six to seven
eighths of the entire manufacturing
capital of the United States, or $780,
100000, is directly or indirectly based
upon patents" A calculation of the
same kind in England reveals still
more surprising result, the capital in
vested being enormous. 1t has been
computed that Siemens' inventions
have produced more than f5, 900, 900,
and have indirectly benefited the poor
of the country largely by creating
new industry or by reviving tagging
ones.
"There is," says an eminent author
ity, scarcely an article of human
convenience or necessity in the market
to-day that has not been the subject Of
a patent in whole or in part. The sale
of every such article yields the in
ventor profit. If we purchase box OF
paper collars portion of the price
goes to the inventor; If we buy a sew
ing machine the chances are that we
pay royalty to as many as a dozen or
fifteen inventors at once"

hundreds of millions.

an untold nuisance, has become a

trivance. Even natural curiosity has
been turned to account in the number
