 'sThe Civilization of Sweden in Heather Times," by Oscar Montelius, Ph. D., pro lessor at the National Historical museum, Stockholm. Translated from the second edition by Rev. F. H. Woods. The book describes the early progress of Swedish civilization from a time some thousands of years anterior to documentary history. It was not until about fifty years ago that an tiquarians began generally to recognize that the antiquities which are dug up from time to time, and the barrows and stone monuments which still abound, do not all belong to that part of heathen times which immediately preceded the in- troduction of Christianity. Archaeology shows that before the period known as the iron age there was another, when iron was unknown, and weapons and tools were made of mixture of copper and tin. This period, called the bronze age, contin- ued for many centuries, but back of this was the stone age, when men were entirely ignorant of the use of metals and the ma terials they fashioned into implements were stone, horn, bone and wood. This history of ancient Sweden is drawn from it's antiquities and brought down through the three ages to the dawn of Christiani- ty. The illustrations, over two hundred in number, are beautifully clear, showing the remarkable skill and ingenuity of the ancient artizans. Published by Macmillan & Co.,, London and New York.

MT. Taylor and His Umbrella.


 This is a story about fisherman and about fishing, but not a fish story, and it is very true and equally strange. It is an umbrella story. The umbrella belongs to MT. William c. Taylor, the railroad man. Not many day ago Mir. Taylor went down to Dog river fishing, and to protect him self from the rays of the July sun carried the old family umbrella, which had been on duty until it was more honorable than serviceable When the umbrella slipped overheard and sank out of sight in the riv- CT, the owner was sorry to part with it, because it was relic, but he felt no pecun- iary loss. He casually mentioned to 8 beach comber he saw in the distance that he had dropped an umbrella thus and so, and came on home. The next morning the lost umbrella was to be seen standing be- side the railroad mans desk, and refusing to be lost.
 This is but one half of this story. A shortswlfile thereafter Mir. Taylor went ! fishing in Polecat bay, 0 body of water several miles in expanse. The umbrells went with him. While MT. Taylor was l catching a sheepshead the wind caught the open umbrella and whisked it out of his | hand. The umbrella skimmed over the | waves like thing of life. and finally, al | some hundred yards distance, collapsed | and sank beneath the waves. Good by, | faithful but unfortunate servant and com | panion.
 There is more of this story.
 A few days ago one of the clerks in the | railroad mans office called on MT. John | Gaillard on business. What was the young | mans astonishment when he saw his boss'i umbrellla standing alongside MT. Gaillsrd'' desk. Mutual explanations were quickly | made The umbrella had indeed sunk tC | the bottom of the Polecat bay, but one ot the fishermen-one of those sort who fist | for business and catch something-cam, drifting that way, and caught the umbrellt with hook and line. As this fisherman | was not an habitual user of umbrellas, ht brought the treasure trove to MT Gaillard his friend, whom he believed to be addict ed to umbrellas. The clerk carried of tn,
 umbrella in triumph, and thought he wa preparing happy surprise, but MT. Fay Tor is now balancing the value of the um
 bre,la against two claims for reward pend
 ing for the finding and recovery of the an cient and domestic article.

years ago what is known as the Gresham Law of Finance, which is: ''If two sorts of money, one inferior in intrinsic or repre- sentative value to the other, but 1Bth in vested by statue with the same purchasing power, be permitted to circulate side by side, the inferior will ultimately drive out the superior" The silver men either for get or don't care for this law.
 The Swiss watch trade has undergone a complete transformation during the past fifteen years, owing to the work being done in large manufactures instead of at the homes of the watchmakers. The re- suit is that there are much better watches at less cost and greater sales. There are schools for teaching matchmaking at Gen. eva, Neuchatel, La Chaux des Bonds, ,Locle, Bienne, St. Imier and Porrentruy. In the last six years the number of watches ex- ported from Switzerland has increased from 2,7S4 ,234 in 1885 to 4,431 1901 last year, these figures not including the works and cases exported separately. AL together the value of the exports last year is calculated at $20, 100000
 Some Yankees are ingenious.

His plan is to man vessel with men who are not afraid of getting their feet wet, and then, when it comes on to blow hard, to run on the rocks at Otter Creek or Schooner Head. Spectators will get the tip, as at prize fight, of the location, and will be charged so much head for seeing the fun. The crew will take their own chances of getting ashore, with the assist ance of a life-saving crew, which will be on hand with all the necessary apparatus for fishing them out.

Hysterfcal Journalism. TErOr1, tho Mfl-at,tr.a CA.tF.al I

Nearly everybody has been to Coney Island. One large section is given over to cheap variety and museum shows, to which admission is free, with the expecta- ton that the visitor will buy glass of beer. Each booth has one or more 'toot- CTS" or runners who are as frantic and pressing as the Baxter street runners. best show on the islsndl" ''The biggest glass of beer on the islandl" and with if ty such cries going at once, in the shrillest of voices and accompanied by the insanest waving of arms, the visitor loses his head and fancies he is in the violent ward of 6 lunatic asylum. He leaves the place dazed or hysterical, as though he had been through dynamite explosion.
 The central idea of the new journalism of New York, represented entirely by the new journals, was stolen from Coney Is land. It is there that MT. Pulitzer got his inspiration; Hysserics1noise; Mysteries 5;n ei blow, pers; Hoorayl" "Got another subscriber; Whoop!" ''This way, gents; the only real, live, whoop-'er-up newspaper in the worid," Biggest headlines ever made yah yahl yah!'' 'Tm the only brainy editor and the only honest, fearless friend of the people-look at mel" And when MT. Pulitzer said he had some new sub scribers, he had booms fired in twelve diff ferent cities. The newspapers themselves are just as hysterical as the cries. The headlines, grown too large for single line, scream. They are like the shriek of the fire-tug, and seem to say: "Stop all business; quit your petty concerns; put off dying until you have read this most astounding, soul-harrowing, unparalleled piece of news!" When it is read it is found that an Italian rsg-picker was kicked by sausage peddler for making love to the female of his kind.
 It seems to pay, for the moment. It is not surprising that as the originator shout ed from day to day that he was driving all other newspapers from the news-stands, that another hysterical journal now shouts from day to day that it is driving the orig, inal convulsion sheet from the news stand. The newest metropolitan journal that has fits, cultivates that immodesty that is characteristic of the original organ of delirium tremens.
 Doubtless there are people who are over fond of pepper and other spices, and who read only to have their emotions ploughed and narrowed, but to have an hysterical feast seven days in the week is excessive. That sort of thing can't last.

Baby, Life Saved by a Pigeon.

From tne San frAuClsCO E1AnlueT.
 An incident occurred recently in the fam fly of G. F. Marsh, the dealer in Japanese curiousities at 625 Market street and member of the Pacific Coast Pigeon society, which proved to him in a most impressive manner the valuable services which may sometimes be rendered by the carrier pig con, and probably explains some of his enthusiasm in that direction. His little baby boy was taken suddenly sick with most alarming symptoms of diptheris. the little one. dispatched message tied on carrier pigeon to her husband at his store on Market street. In the message she wrote the nature of the child's alarm ing illness, and made an urgent appeal for medicine to save it's life. The bird was started from the home of the family, near the Cliff house; five miles from MT. Marsh's Market street store.
 The bird flew swiftly to the store, where MT. Marsh received it. He read the mes sage, called doctor, explained the child's symptoms as his wife had detailed them in the message, and received the proper med | icine. Then tying the little vial contain 
 | he let it go.
 The pigeon sped away through the air, straight for the Cliff. It made the distance | of five miles in ten minutes-a distance which would have required the doctor | three-qusrters of an hour to cover. In twenty minutes from the time the mothers message was sent to her husband l the baby was taking the medicine. | Naturally enough MT. Marsh is partial to pigeons, for he considers that he owes his l baby's life to one.
 The Horse Among the Israelites. l Caroline K. Sherman in Chicago Herald.1 >
 The Israelites became acquainted with the horse through the Egyptians. They do not show that love for the horse which is characteristic of all nations. In the early ages they were forbidden the use of them to any great extent lest they might
 be tempted to idolatry by the easy access
 to heather nations; and, further, as they
 were 8 chosen people they were not de.
 signed to extend their territories by con.
 quests. The lack of horses often put them
 to disadvantage with their neighbors, and
 Miriam's song of victory, "The Lord hath
 triumphed gloriously; the horse and hii
 rider hath he thrown into the sea-" had
 special significance with people suffering
 the want of horses, which at that time
 were used chiefly for purposes of war
 David was no lover of horses or he never
 would have said, "Be not as the horse ol
 as the mule, which have no understand
 ing" and no Egyptian, Assyrian or Persian
 would have said, "A horse is a vain thing
 for safety" Solomon was not always
 wise, but one evidence of his wisdom was that he had 40 900 stalls of horses for hii ; chariots and 12, 900 horsemen, which may account for the fact that 'Tsrael dwell safely, every man under his vine and fe tree all the days of Solomon No poet of ancient or modern time i. could vie with Job in that magnificent de } scription of the war horse: 'fHast thol given the horse strengthl Hast thol clothed his neck with thunderi The glor, of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth il the valley and rejoiceth in his strength
 He mocketh at fear"
