PREHISTORIC REMAINS.

The Skeleton of Another Tall Man Recent
ly Discovered Near Mcntone.
Fresh discoveries of human remains,
probably prehistoric, were found this
week on the Italian frontier near Men
tone. Two years ago the skeleton of a
man more than 5 feet high was pnearth-
ed at the same spot under the direction
Of an English archaologist. Workmen
in cave recently uncovered several
slabs Of stone which seemed to form a
part Of dolmen. The earth contained
many bones OF animals, broken evil
IDENTIFY, for the extraction Of the mar
row, and there were indications of fro
close by. Several small, pierced shells
which once formed a chaplet and q
row of stag's teeth were near at hand.
The skeleton Of a man 0 feet 2 inches
In height was lying on Its back. The
legs were crossed below the knee. The
right arm was extended and bent back
ward toward the head. The hand was
clinched. The lett hand was placed
under the head. The same position has
been frequently observed in early neo.
lithic burials. A fine crystal Of carbon
ate Of lime beside the skeleton was prob
ably talisman. Further excavations
in the cavern revealed innumerable
bones Of animals, notably a fine verte-
bra Of mammoth. Still another find
is flint implement, which appears to
be Of pal@olithic age. Paris Letter.

incidental Marriage.

There was no fuss and fummery
about the wedding Of a Portland wom-
an last month. She had a job washing
doors at the city hall, and one morning
appeared with hei pals and mops as
usual. Along in the forenoon she sur
prised the janitor by announcing that
she was going out for few minutes to
get married, and in just 45 minutes she
was back, the ceremony all over, the
nuptial kiss duly attended to, and re-
sumed her scrubbing. She probably APP
preciated the fact that sometimes it is
easier to get husbands than employ.

To BE Tried For Mailing Bible Quotations.

A case Of unusual interest In which
the United States is prosecutor and An
thony Beerpass is defendant will be
tried soon in the United States court.
Beerpass was violently enanored Of Ce-
liza Grassby. In fit Of anger and jeal-
ousy the lover wrote Celia a very OBJ
jectionable letter. The girl promptly
turned the letter over to the proper au-
thorities, and Beerpass was arrested for
sending obscene matter through the
mails. He acknowledged sending the
letter, but claims he cannot be mado to
suffer for it, as every sentence in 1t is
a quotation from the Bible, which he
readily proved. The defendant says that,
as the Bible is mailable matter, be had
perfect right to use the mails for

Modes of Diyinat,on.

If Scottish maiden desired to sum-
mon the image of her future husband,
she read the third verse, seventeenth
chapter, Of the book Of Job after supper,
washed the supper dishes and retired to
bed without uttering single word,
placing underneath her pillow the BIZ
BILE, with pin thrust through the verse
she had read. On All Hallow eve various
modes of divination were in vogue.
Pennant says that the young women de-
termined the figure and size of their
husbands by drawing oabbages blind
fold, custom which fingers still in
some parts Of Scotland. They also threw
nuts into the fire, practice prevailing
also in England, as Gay has described:
Two hazel nuts threw into the fame,
And to each nut gave a sweetheart's name.
This with the loudest bounce me sore amazed,
That in fame of brightest color blazed,
AS blased the nut, so may thy passion grow.
Or they took candle and went alone to
looking glass, eating an apple and
combing their hair before it, whereupon
the face Of the future spouse would be
seen in the glass peeping over the foolish
girl s shoulder. the Year Round.

Chinese women's Feet.

1t Is the common understanding
among Americans that the women Of
China have dwarfed feet. From the time
that China was opened to explorers
books Of travel, and especially school
textbooks, have been filed with descrip-
lions Of the dreadful agony to which
Chinese woAen were subjected to make
their feet small. According to, these
stories and according to the popular be-
lief in America, the feet of Chinese girl
babies are put in congresses until their
growth has been stunted.
Travellers in China have described the
attempt Of Chinese women to walk as
something very painful. No one would
be shocked at Mrs. Yang JUS pedestrian
style. 1t is true, the interpreter of the
legation tells me, that in the southern
provinces of China women's feet are
dwarfed, but It is only in the southern
provinces that small feet are considered
mark of aristooracy.
Mrs Yang JUS feet were never put
through the dwarfing process. Neither
are the feet of her children undergoing
that painful operation. The little tots
run about the legation halls freely, and
on the day when was there one of them
took a long peep at me through the door
way of the reception room when was
not supposed to be looking in that direc-
ton. This little fellow was dressed in
the gaudy silks which are an invariable
feature of the Chinese custom. Wash
