be said to have proceeded very fortu-

seem that conveyance of the treasure

Ancient Hindu Vaccination.

At a meeting OF the Epidemiologi-
cal Society Lancet, Feb. 20, 1892,
DR.. Pringle quoted a remarkable pas
sage from an ancient Hindu work,
which showed that true vaccination
was known and practiced in India
centuries before the birth of Jenner:
"The smallpox produced from the
udder of the cow will be of the same
mild nature as the original disease.
the peck should be of a good
color filled with a clear LIQUID, and
surrounded by circle of red. :.
There will be only slight fever of
one, two, or three days. hut no fear
need be entertained Of small-po SO
long as life endures. Pasteur's at
tenuation Of virus by successive cult
ures has been applied in India for
hundreds Of years to NEGOTIATIONS
with variolous lymph, which the
document in question directed to be
taken from ''the most favorable
cases, and he has seen series of such
selected NEGOTIATIONS in which there
was no general eruption, and the
local phenomena was scarcely dstin-
gulshable from those of vaccination.

Food of an Ancient People.

Plentifully scattered through the
relic beds of SWitZerland'S lakes are
fragmentary remnants of its ancleut
peoples food. We learn that they
were not cannibals, for, amid a pro-
fusion of animal bones, very few OF
the human species have been de-
tected. The deposits of the earliest
settlements prove that the inhablt-
ants were ardent hunters, and then
largely fed on the spoils of the chase.
But in after ages, when farming occu-
pations were followed to greater
extent, the flesh of tanned animals was
chiefly eaten. The bones have most
ly been split open, doubtless for the
purpose of extracting the marrow.
Among the animals domesticateu by
the lake jewellers were the OK, the
sheep, and the goat. Their stalls,
like their masters dwellings, were
upon the water: and quantities of
the litter provided for them have
been found in the mud of the lakes.
Moss, which has been largely dis
covered, is thought by the Gentle
mans Magazine to have formed the
sleeping touches of the household.
Numerous wild fruits, such as apples,
pears plums, raspberries, and nuts,
were included in the diet of those
Swiss aborigines; and the detection
of apple parings testified to certain
nicely in their cuisine. They Guilt
waited the common cereals, wheat and
barley, and fiat, round cakes have
been disinterred, and also several
round stones, between which the
grain was ground.

A Small Piece OF Justice.

In small town not many miles
from Erie, Pa, there was a case be-
fore the Justice Of the Peace that was
settled very summarily.
1t appears that a Mr.. Jones had
beaten Mr.. Browns dog with a club
for chasing his chickens. They met
at the office of the Justice, each &C
companied by lawyer, and bound to
see the thing through, no matter
what it cost. AS Jones and Brown
were prominent citizens of the town,
a large crowd assembled at the trial,
expecting to hear some great oratory
from the lawyers.
The Justice was a very pOmpous
and ignorant old fellow, who was
great on big words, no matter wheth-
er appropriate or not. The case was
called, the witnesses who had seen
the clubbing gave their testimony,
and Jones' lawyer arose to open for
his client, when the Justice said:
Hold on, Mr.. Lawyer, there is no
use argifying or condisputing about
the matter, as there is no case of as
sessity for it. Mr.. Jones was highly
unwrong in beating Mr.. Browns dog
So | fine him $40 for cruelty to dumb
animals, and that is all there is

Names of Cities.

Chicago is not alone among cities
in having name of unsavory or
petty significance, though probably
no city in the world bears a name of
more malodorous suggestion. 1t has
been conjectured that Rome is from
Groma, meaning the "cross roads, z"
since the city grew up around the
junction of ways leading to the
forum. Lutetia, the ancientname of
Paris, means in effect mud town. the
city when the Romans found it being
composed chiefly of mud-built houses.
London is pure Celtic, and means a
fortified hill AS to New York, it's
chief syllable is curiously corrupted
from the name of the Celtic tribe
settled in and about York, when the
Romans conquered Britain. = New

Largest Elevator in the World.

The largest grain elevator in the

1886 feet long, 90 feet WIDE. and 175

100000 bushels of grain, says the
Philadelphia Press. During it's con-
struction the carpenters and joiners
used II, 500, 900 feet of lumber of all

Light of the Future.

It seems hard to believe, says the
St. Louis Republic, that in very
few years the incandescent lamp,
which we now regard as, in many
respects, an almost perfect light,
will be regarded as crude makeshift
which mankind availed itself of
while science stood on the threshold
Of the discovery Of the perfect lumi-

experiments an ideal form of electric
lighting which would transcend in
luxury and convenience our present

transcends the oil lamps and tallow

CANADA finds that a tempOriZing
policy does not pay. The Presiden-
tial proclamation establishing tolls
on all Canadian merchandise pass
ing through the Sault Ste. Marie
Canal will awaken to a realizing
sense of the situation the astute
provincials who fancied that they
could put Uncle Sam off with prom
ises. The aggressive and impudent
little nation must now back sQuaraly
down Or take the consequences. II
Canada thinks that she is to con-
tinue her selfish policy of enjoying
American advantages without as
Stunning any Of the responsibilities OF
American citizenship, she is doomed
to sore disappointment. The action
of this country in the rebate matter
may open Canadian eyes. Prompt
ness and determination were neces-
sary, for the Canadians have got into
the way of thinking that American
good-nature and desire to avoid the
appearance of pressing a quarrel, es-
pecially with an antagonist notably
weaker than the United States,
could always be safely counted upon.
The canal tolls question is in poll
tics in Canada, and the local jour mails
are filled with the disputes of the
partisans. Any one who believes
that there is no party in the Domin-
ion anxious for annexation to this
country will have that impression
corrected by studying these journals.

II will be pity if the mare Nancy
Hanks. that has trotted mile in
2:G5I, is to be used solely on the race
track, where men will admire her
only for the money that can be made
by betting on her performances. She
is only six years old, and, with good
care, may last long time. Every
admirer of fine horse flesh will be
proud of the results attained by sci
entitic breeding and careful training.
Good blood will always make it's mark
in lower animals as Well as in the
higher. A horse Of such wonderful
parts as Nancy has is worth more to
the country than to trot around a
track in front Of ten thousand people
whose chief interest is in betting on
her. She ought to be used for breed
ing purposes. In that way her quail
ties and those Of animals of her stock
can be transmitted through a long
line. and not in great while the eff
fects of what good breeding will dc
can be spread far and wide. A good
horse has far higher value
than that which mere sport
ing men put upon him. No
animal responds more easily to
kind treatment than he. He is often
more of a companion than a servant.
1t is as proper for a road horse to be
valued chiefly for his speed as for a
draught animal to be estimated for
his strength. But if his owner is
ready TO sacrifice him as soon as he is
a second or two below another ami
NAL. such an owner should not possess
such horse. Rare animals, in many
respects, are like rare men. 1t takes
a peculiar combination of things to
produce them. but the pity of it too
often is that the commercial price
here and now is the chief estimate
the world puts upon them.

A Practical Judge.

When Senator Sanders of Montana
first settled in the wilds of the then
half-civiliZed West, the following is
related of him: He was about the
only well-educated man in that State.
The miners and cowboys recognized
that fact, and elected him Judge. In
that capacity he soon became terror
to evil-doers, as he invariably i'm
posed the heaviest sentence prescribed
by law.
On one occasion a border rutfian was
brought before him on a charge of
assault and battery, entered a plea of
guilty, and was fined $40. The fellow
had a dangerous CLEAN in his eye as
he shambled forward, pulled bag
from his pocket, took from it two
double eagles. and laid them on the
bar before Judge Sanders. The Judge
showed one Of the coins across the
counter, remarking:
you've made a mistake. Your
fine is 800"
II know what my fine is" growled
the thug; "and | understand what
I'm doing. See? If it costs $40 to
whip a man in this court it's cheap
enough, and Pm willing to pay for
the fun. Just keep the other twenty,
Judge; I'm going to thrash another
man."
Every we'll, SIR" quietly said Sand
ers, putting the coins into drawer
and turning the key.
"And you're the man I'm going to
lick" continued the pugilistic pris-
oner, addressing the Court.
"As you please, SIR" was the calm
response, as Sanders stepped from the
bench.
The fellow made most savage on
slaught upon the Judge, but Sanders
ducked, and before his antagonist
could recover his equilibrium he re-
ceived a blow on the jugular which
sent him spinning half way across the
room, where he fell as limp as a rag.
Two minutes later the erstwhile
terror scrambled to his feet, looked
about the room in daZed manner,
and slowly staggered toward the door.
Here, sir" Numbered Sanders, who
had resumed his place upon the
bench. Come here"
The thug obeyed. Sanders slowly
counted out $3.50, and showed it
across the bar.
There's your change" he re-
marked, gravely. you didn't com

circumstances I do not feel justified

How the .sZero" Originated.

With the mercury close to the
nineties it is interesting to recall the
origin of the thermometric zero" A
Prussian merchant named Fahrenheit
was what we would call a weather
sharp; he watched the weather close
ly. One day by accidentally ming
ling snow and salt he perceived that
a degree Of cold equal to that of the
coldes, day in his experience had
been produced at once. He called
that degree .zero"-nothing.
