In searching for diamonds or prec-
ious metals people sometimes make
unexpected additions to our knowl-
edge Of geology or natural history.
Engineering works also have some
times the same result. Only last
winter the remains of a mammoth
were unearth6d in London more than
twenty feet below the surface. One of
the tusks was, unfortunately broken
by the workmen, the other was care
fully preserved. Some curious dried
monkeys have been recently discover
ed in the Transvaal.
From the extraordinary attitudes
which they haye assumed and the fear
and rage expressed by their not too
amiable countenances, it would APP
pear that they must have been over
taken by some sudden catastrophe,
such as a landslide or avalanche OF
mud. The attitude of the female en-.
deavoring to protect her little ones
from impending death is quite idyllic,
while the rage and fear of paterfama-
las, who must have stood nearly tour
feet high, are equally manifest. The
tails of all Of them spring from an un-
usual position, hiuh up in the back.
They appear to have been pummified
by some natural process, and there is
still some hair adhering to the skin.
In the same cave in which these crea-
lures were found the diggers turned up
skulls of q bushman and a Hottentot;
also of deer and a bird, the latter
with some feathers still attached to
it.-New York Commercial Adver-

TWO ANCIENT UTHORS

MedallIons OF HoratIus and Virgil
Lately Unearthed in Pompeii,
Lovers of literature " III be interest
ed in the recent discovery in a small
house of the buried city of Pompeii of
two Medalllons representing respect
lively Horace and Virgil. The death
OF Horace occurred eight years before
the Christian era.and that OF Virgil 10
years earlier, while the date OF the
destruction of Pompeii by the erup-
ton of Vesuvius is A. d. 70.
Hence theportraits are not contem-
porary, though they cannot be placed
very long after the age Of the poets.
But although they are in that respect
only fancy portraits, M. CASTOR Bois-
sier has pointed out to the French
Academic des Inscriptions that they
have q distinct resemblance to the
miniatures of Horace and Virgil given
in the manuscripts of the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries. The Pompeiian
medallions r only OF q very medi.
OGRE character when regarded solely
from al artistic standpoint. This
very fact strengthens the idea of a
continuous artistic tradition as to the
bodily presentment of the two poets.
The Pompeiian artist and the mon.
astic scribe could have had no direct
connection, but they may easily have
derived their figures from "a common
source.
Another point of interest is to see
the popular criticism within less than
a century after their death, linking to-
gether Horace and Virgil. How en-
during their fame is may be realized
if we remember that now, after the
lapse of 10 centuries, they have more
readers and admirers than at any
preceding period. 1t is to be feared
that few Of the literary regulations of
modern ages will withstand 80 success

Still Waiting,

"Waiting for dead mems shoes is q
sorry occupation. No man can fol-
low it long without losing what little
of enterprise and independence he may
once have had. But few people are
frank enough to admit that they are
on that "waiting list"
"Well, Brown. said Smith, as they
met for the first time in severa! years,
''are you married vet? Did, that
grandfather of yours leave you
money!"
"Wal, no, I amt married yet, ner

DEAF MUTEs IN PARIS.

An Extraordinary Incident Showing
the Perfection Of Their Institution.
In the national institution careful
attention is given to physical culture.
Gymnastic exercises, long walks
and frequent baths and swimming are
held in great esteem, but not trapez
exercises, pole climbing and other
violent and dangerous forms. The diff
ficulty of giving commands necessarily
draws the limits for the students at
this kind of gymnastics. In the ex-
ercises which they do take, they &C.
quire the idea ofrhythm, of sentiment,
and OF harmony, and theylearn atten-
ton, order, and obedience, which are
so useful to the progress of their
education. The institution itself is
large and commodious, we'll supplied
with all the numerous necessary
appliances and with a fine library.
There are at present more than 200
scholars in attendance and the number
tends constantly to increase. The cost
per year for those in the institution is
$3.50. For day scholars it is con-
siderably less than that amount.
The following incident is related by
the Chatauquan rs showing to what
measure Of achievement the instruction
of deaf-mutes may be carried forward:
At theroll.call ofconscripts the presia-
ing officer saw approaching him after
q certain name had been reached a
large, well-formed young man, who
said:
~ believe it is useless for me to
submit to an inspection, Mr.. President.
l can never pass for q soldier"
"'For what reason? On what grounds
do you claim exemption?"
II I'm q deaf mute"
"How! You q deaf mute? You
have answered to your name, and are
now carrying on a conversation with
me. It is impossible"
ut is only the movement of your
lips as you speak that l read, Mr..
President. lam entirely deaf"
And the truth of his statement was
soon established.

MULES BORN AGAIN.

After Four Years Underground the

81 saw an odd sight in Luzerne
county q few days ago." said E. B.
Coke, OF Scranton, to G. l.. Magee, OF
Pittsburg, and one or two others in
the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, the
other night. ''Six mules that had fol-
four years hauled cars in the lower
workings Of a colliery to and from the
foot Of the shaft had to be brought up
owing to the flooding of the mine on
account of fire. The mules in all that
time had seen no light stronger than
the flicker Of the little Davy lamps
the miners carried. The sun was in the
zenith when they reached the surface,
and the atmosphere was as clear as
crystal.
1.-THE astonished creatures closed
their eyes to shut out the food OF
strong light, and kept them tightly
closed while they were driven to apas-
pasture lot u mile distant and turned
loose. There they stood, trembling as
il afraid something evil was about to
befall them. Presently they halt open
ed their eyes and peeped around in act
ualopen-mouthed amazement. Itswas
clear that they couldn't understand
il. When they became accustomed to
the sunlight they elevated their heads
and slowly swept culm piles. noun.
tains, sky and horizon again and
again. Toward shutdown they broke
into a chorus of joyous brays, the
like OF which was never heard from
mules before.
"After 3 quarter cf an hour of that
music they took to, kicking, jumping,
whirling about like teetotums and
rolling on the sod as though they had
gone mad. For fonr days they spent
their time staring at the new sights Of
field and sky, refusing food and water,
not even nibbling.snt the grass and
not as much as blinking an eye in
sleep. After they had looked enough
their appetite and thirst. returned,
and they became common everyday
mules, but while they were sky-Cazing
hundreds Of people went to SEE their
didos."

The tenacity Of life possessed by
snakes is very wonderful. Last winter
some men were digging q well out in

loaded them into the bucket and sent
them to the top, just for a curiosity.

in handling them several were broken
like %icicles. One of-the men when he
