FINDS In English Soil,

1t Is not too much to assert that any one
digging to a sufficient depth in the soil
which forms the foundation OF the more
ancient portion of the metropolis is certain
to unearth. in the course Of his excava
tons, something either curious or inter.
esting, providing always that the site Sc
lected has not previously been disturbed
by pick or spade. Scarcely a week passes
but wOrkmen engaged in preparing the
foundations for new buildings on the site
Of ancient structures are thus rewarded,
but the treasure trove' is generally in.
trinsicany worthless to the finders, and is
carelessly cast aside without the public
hearing Of it.
A find Of old Roman pots and vases is a
common occurrence, and even human re
mains are occasionally brought to light
During the erection of st. Paul's wharf
by the riverside the skeletons Of two men
OF gigantic stature were dug out. Both
were in excellent preservation and excited
considerable amount of discussion, owing
TO che fact that they had apparently met
their death clasped in each others arms.
The skeleton Of a man, with a transverse
cut in his skull was found during some
building operations in Aldersgate street.
The curious mark on the skull suggested
foul play, but as the remains had lain

THE SONG OF THE TYPE.

Nightly while the millions sleep,
Revelers shout, the wretched weep,
And the watch lone vigils keep,
The printer works away;
With click click clickl
The type In his stick
Records the deeds Of the day,
Heeds the youth with glowing face
That the lines he sets apace
Damn a soul with its disgrace?
They bear for him no smart,
And the click clicki click
OF the type in his stick
Times with his joyous heart,
Thrills you, man with sunken eye,
As his nimble fingers fly,
Forming words that glorify?
They him no joy impart;
And the clickl click click
OF the type in his stick
0utruns his aching heart.
Docs the reader realize,
CHANGING DER with rapid eyes,
Countless types those lines comprise,
Picked separate from the case,
And the click! click! clickl
OF that type in the stick,
All night kept up its PAGER
Thus 1t is through life we go,
Feeling not the Joy, the woe,
Or the toiling others know;
All, better it Is 50;
For the clickl click clickl
OF the type in the stick
Tells less Of joy than woe.

spa4rows and RlAchbirds.

Birds, Notwithstanding their attrac.
tiveness in plumage and sweetness in
song, are many of them great thieves.
When nest bpilding they will steal the
feathers out Of the nests of other birds,
and are often inclined to drive off
other birds from feeding ground even
when there is abundance. This is es-
pecially true of one Of our greatest
favorites, The robin redbreast, who will
peck and run after and drive away
birds much bigger than himself Very
different as the robin and the sparrow
are in other things, they resemble each
other in this. On an early spring
morning, when little touch of frost
still made the surface Of the earth
hard, have seen blackbird on a lawn
at last after great efforts extract a.
worm, and this was the signal for a
crowd of sparrows, who, by dint of
numbers, managed to drive away the
blac!sbird and carry off the worm, to
feed their own young ones, no doubt;

LOADS IN uNpRESS,
The Novel Way the Frogs Rival Gets Rid
of Needless Covering.

ot Neeuless CoNerlnR'
1t is safe to say but few people have
ever been fortunate enough to catch a
toad in the act of changing his skin. A
man who processes to have been an in
terested eyewitness to such transac-
tion describes the novel operation.
The toad pressed his elbows against
his sides downward. After few smart
rubs his skin began to burst open along
his back, but he appeared to be uncon-
cerned, and kept on rubbing until he
had worked his skin into folds on his
sides and hips.
Then, grasping one hind leg with his
forelegs, he pulled the skin from the
leg as slick as a man would remove
pair of pants, then stripped the other
hind leg in the same way. He next took
the cast-off portion of his cuticle and
pulled it forward between his forelegs
until he cOnld catch it in his mouth,
whereupon he forthwith began to swal-
low it; then by raising and lowering his
head, swallowing as the head bent for
ward each time, he stripped off the skin
underneath until it came to his forelegs.
At this stage of the curious proceed
ings he grasped one of the forelegs with
the opposite paw, and by much pulling
stripped off the skin; changing hands,
he stripped the other, and by slight
motion of the head, all tho time swal-
lowing, he drew it from the neck and
swallowed the whole. The entire op-
Grafton occupied but few minutes.

 There are plenty of rainbow illusions on both sides. Some of the Repubh- cans believe they can capture Alabama.

Travellers to the seacoast of southern New Jersey from Philadelphia cannot have failed 10 notice the bright patches of orange Golored flowers which so de- light the eye as the train pagses through the meadows. It is the Asclepias tube rosa, one of the milkweed family and one of the most easily transplanted plants there is. It has heshy roots, which penetrate to Q great depth, mak- ing it suitable for rather dry places.
 Furthermore, these roots, when broken to pieces, form new plants, so that large number of plants can easily be propagated. The common name of this superb wild flower is butterfly weed Among the beds of Towering plants exhibited at the Centennial ex- hibitiou there was brought by gar dener from Holland one composed of these plants and it excited as much attention as any bed there.-Phila- dplOhio Draee

The average barber is Q pretty cheeky person, but it is seldom that he has the assurance to deliberately make uso of q customers head and face, to say nothing of time, to further his selfish ends. 4 good natured man on whose sparsely fringed head silk skullcap sits with appropriate grace took his seat in bar ber's chair the other day for "a hair trim and shave. There were four barbers at work in the shop and just four customers The artist in whose care the good natured man found him self did his work in very satisfactory manner He handled the scissors deftly and proved to be thorough master of keen edged razor After the bay rum, the powder and the brilliantine had been successively administered the barber unpinned the small sheet ia which he had wrapped his customer, and was just on the point of removing it when his eye caught sight of d man in the doorway of the shop. The new conner was one of those puffy, red faced persons such as no barber likes 10 touch.
 This cheeky barber therefore pressed significantly on the shoulder of his good natured customer, repinned tine sheet, took out his scissors and razor and dih- gently went through the motions of trimming the hair and beard Then he applied more bay rum and powder and fussed about until one of the other chairs was vacated and the red faced man had actually taken possession of it Then with much ceremony and loud call for Brush here" he dismissed his good natured customer with a smile and just the suggestion of wink New York Times.

Tho Small poy aoe, "Crnbbing,

Now is the seas m when tho merry
 crabber, net in hand, wends his way to
 his favorite fishing grounds, which are mostly found at the foot of Clinton street and in the Erie and Brooklyn
 basins, on each side of the long dock. The millions of logs that are stored there offer secure fishing stations for hundreds of anglers for the ugly look ing but toothsome Crustacean. All day naked youngsters are perched on these logs, watching their bait, chasing each other over the slippery lumber or diving and padding in the water The outfit of the crabber is simple enough If fully equipped he carries round purse net stretched over an iron ring some two or three feet in diameter. At the bottom stone is dropped to stretch the net when in the water. The crab is greedy feeder and not at all choice in what it eats. Fish heads or chunks of half decayed meat are fastened across the net, which is dropped in the water and secured by a rope to the stringpiece.
 Once in awhile 1t is hauled up and be- Tore master crab can dlsgorge he is out of his element and transferred to bag or basket, there to squirm and pinch with his fellow captiyes. But the small boys outfit is far simpler; it consists of a long handled net and a piece of string with chunk of carriOn tied to one end. This is lowered into the shallow water where crabs abound, and once in awhile the juvenile fisher draws the bait gently toward the surface. The crab is gener- ally too busy to do anything but feed until he is almost at the surface, when the net is scooped under him and he is landed with whoop of exultation.
 No angler for trout, salmon or blue fish pursues his game more iuteutly than the crabbcr does, but how in these burning days the youngsters can remain naked on the logs for half a day without losing every particle of skin k mystery. Their yellow little hides seem as imper- vious to the suns heat as those of the 1. Egyptian fellahs. Brooklyn Eagl,

A Chance to Learn 8 Lesson.

According to a writer d great part of Russia is thrcatcEtd with the heat and aridity of the central Asian steppes. As long ago as 1850, shortly after a fam inc in Russia, the effect of deforestation in tue country about the Donez was complained of. No attention was paid to the complaint, Deforestation went on; streams and springs dried up; spring and summer rains began to fall, and their cessation is the cause of the failure of last years harvest in Russia. The Russian government is waking up. tso late perhaps, to restore the trees except at an enormous expense and after long period of labor and waiting.
 That which has occurred in Russia and other European countries, changing fruitful regions to deserts, is going on in the United States Let us not plunge our heads deep into conceit and opti. mism, assuring ourselves that the laws of nature have no force in America. Syracuse Standard.
