THE ANTIQUARIAN.

Preserved fruits, dramatically sealed in earthcnwarc vessels, have been found in both Herculancum and Pompeii. When opened, they were comparatively fresh.
 The stcelyartis found in Herculnneum are constructed on exactly the same prin- ciplc as those of today, with a pan and q bar, with graduated scale, along which n weight was moved.

 On the wall of a groccr's storc in Pom pcii was found the following inscription: .'IIX. ID. IVL. ANVNGIA. PCC. ALIV. MANVPLOS. CCL, which has been in- terpreted to mean, On July 25, hogs lard, goo pounds; garlic, goo punches. [" Whether these articles were bought or sold does not appear.
 The skeletons of small dogs, closely re- scmbling our pugs. have been found at Pompeii, proving that the Roman ladies had pets other than the domesticated ser pents that frequented the houses, and which in hot weather were used as live boas and were curled about the ladies' necks for the sake of the coolness of the writhing bodies.

LETTERS FROM THEPEOPLe
\ CorrespoI dent Declares That the
 Tru mt Officer Is in Reality a Messenger

4 CorrespoI dent Declares That the Tru mt Officer Is in Reality a Messenger Boy.
 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 Dear Sir-In the daily papers of Novem- Der I1 attention was called 10 the large number of small boys who are running wild on our streets during school hours. My business is such as compels me to visit all sections of the city during the day and the number of children who are not old enough to go to work and who are not at school Is surprising. Now it seems to me that there must be remedy for this. The center school district employs A truant off ger to look after truants. whose business should be to visit the different parts of our city daily. and every boy found by him on our streets during school hours should either be brought to his parents for an explanation as to why he was not at school or to the superintendent. But instead of this am informed tha. the truant officers time is taken up in travel ing from place to place to find out whether parents can afford to buy books for their children or not, why children were absent "n certain day and different other kinds of information which the various teachers would like 10 know Now, as a father who has LCys going to school, although they are not truants. would suggest that the district employ someone else to be the messenger boy and have our truant officer. who Is able and willing to look after the truants attend strictly to that and nothing .-lse. If this be done think in a short time the number of pupils attenting school regularly will increase and great many pa- rents who think their boys are at school daily. but who are running the streets. will be benefited. I would also suggest that our local police officers give our truant officer their support in this matter. and arrest or bring to school all truants found by them. I think some action of thls kind would be greatly appreciated by the publIc.
