Saving and Spending.

The young should be not only en-
couraged to save out of their small
allowances or earnings, but they
should also be taught how and when
to spend. Above all should the truth
be impressed upon them that the OBJ
ject and end of money is to pur.
chase opportunity, to promote hap.
piness, to improve and enlarge life.
or itself it is nothing, and may be
made far worse than nothing; but
where the underlying purposes are
those of independence, Justice, and
generosity-wbere the highest vel.
fare of self, OF family, and Of society
Is the desire uppermost in the heart
there both saving and spending ac.
quire new dignity and will repay
careful culture.

THE WORLD ROLLS ON.

o, the world rolls on with its love and
light
RS sun by day and its stars by night,
And the dark gives place to the bright-the

And the world sings while it's rolling on
The blue, fair sky isn't half as high

And the song comes after the sigh-the sigh,
And tho world sings while it's rolling on

commenced in Germany. One set oil

900 bricks last year. The bricks are
weak at first and have to be handled
carefully, but they become sufficient

the lapse of six months.

A pilot joined lis. We steamed into
Sandy Hook. They steered the bat
tered hulk of the Atalauta into the
grand harbor of New York under as
goodly u sun as ever smiled on lovers.
Millicent Bradley oncs again stood
by my side and spoke no word Her
dark eyes surveyed the shore and took
stock of the monster excursion
steamers, the Statue Of Liberty and
the Brooklyn Bridge; but she made
no comment. She had not referred
to that sweet night of terrors since
found her standing on the promenade
deck neatly dressed for going ashore.
We passed the Battery, and drew
near to the company's landing stage.
Presently We were being hauled into
the dock. In five minutes the gang
ways would be run up, and We should
have to go ashore. And up to this
time, although had told her all about
myself, my family, my position and
my prospects in life, all unimpeach-
able, she had not confded to me any
of her own affairs, not even her desti.
nation. But now she turned to me
and looked me squarely in the eye.
"You were very kind to me last night,
Mr.. Franklin" she said, in tones that
L fancied trembled little.
"MistSrr l stammered, aghast of
her GOODNESS.

teur that seemed about to sparkle in
her eyes as she corrected herself: "I
should not like you TOTO despise me. "
'Oh, Miss-Millicent |" began.
But she went on firmly: "Of course,
we must not take seriously anything
which circumstances-so exceptional
so very, very dreadful, indeed we
must not bind ourselves by what such
circumstances forced upon us. We
will say good-by now and-and if--if
we never meet again"
"Millicent!" l cried, catching both
her hands, quite Needless of onlookers,
"don't coquette with me after what
we have both gone through! You can
say calmly to me, If we never meet
again : | say to you, Must we ever,
ever part?'"
"Yes, We must part Horace" The
words came slowly, and she did not
disengage her hands.

Others found this out simultaneously.
And yet the steam was rising.
The meaning of it flashed upon Mil.

phenomenon only confirmed fear
"God help us!" she cried; "the vessel

The word few like lightning. All

up the stairs to the deck.

listened to me. She made me swear
that if the ships company had to take

that could not be, she begged me tc
let her stay and drown with me.
Oh, what glorious time that was
with the storm beating me almost
senseless, the ship a furnace beneath
my feet, the utter hopelessness of
boats living in such sea, should the
fire break through the battened-down
matches and drive us from the vessel.
Never shall I forget the dawn of
that day; the clouds glaring spitefully

able to stand upright. His spine was
curved forward from the first lumbar.
He could never have seen the sky un-
less his friends turned him on his back
1t is rather surprising that print
tive people should have taken care OF
such a useless old man, but possibly
they thought his shape was an indica-
ton of supernatural power.
The larger bone of his left forearm
had been broken at some period and
reset with considerable skill. The old
man was found reposing on a bed of
ashes and his legs had been partially
burned. Close at hand was found al
large stone mortar, and a clam-shell
was found near his left hand, indicat-
ing, possibly, that he had partaken OF
that mollusk shortly before his death.
Not far away were the remains of a
large quantity of burned shells of the
bay oyster, crab and aboline, APPARENT
ly the remains of prehistoric clam
bake. Bones of a deer, elk, skunk and
other animals were also found. 1t was
evident that the primitive people Jared
extremely well.
Some twenty skeletons have been
found, according to the latest reports.
! They are those of persons of all ages
The owner of more than one skeleton
had met with violent death. In one
skull boned spear-head was found
imbedded two inches. The-skull was
that of child not more than fourteen
years old. The skulls, as may be
judged from the one reproduced here,
are those of a race of small intelli-
, gence. A number of shell ornaments
were found, and also perforated disks
and pendants, showing rude attempts at
| ornamcntation.

STRANGE DISCOVERY.
The Ossifled Remains of a Pre-
historic American.
Spine Was Curved So That the Man Could
Not Have Looked Away from the
Ground - Secrets of an
Ancient Mound.

An hours ride south of San Francisco
the remains have just been discovered
of a community of prehistoric inhabit-
ants of this country. They were found
by party of students from Stanford
university who were on a scientific eX-
ploration some four miles east of the
university grounds.
A pear shaped mound of earth covers
the remains of the colony. 1t is calcu-
lated that some thousands of persons
are buried there The mound lies with
its longer axis north and south, and
measures 40 feet in length by 800 in
width, and has an area of nearly two
acres. In height it ranges from about
two feet at the southern end to ten feet
at its highest point, near the northern
extremity. The soil used in its con-
structiOn was the ordinary black adobe
of the neighbOrhood.
1t was ascertained from some of the
old inhabitants of Spanish descent in
the vicinity that when the whites first
settled the country there was an Indian
village near the mound. But that
would not necessarily indicate any con-
nection between the Indians and the
prehistoric people buried there.
The mound is now being explored
with scientific care under the direction
of Prof Mary Sheldon Barnes, who has
charge of the work in Pacific coast his
tory at the university.
The first days excavation resulted in
the finding of three skeletons, together
with number of pointed bone imple-
ments and two large stone mortars,
such as are used by the Indians for
grinding corn.
One of these skeletons, which is de-
picted here, is apparently that of an old
man who had been a sufferer. from a
terrible disease. which had caused an
extraordinary deformity. With the ex-

One Old Specimen in Fontainbteau IL
Over Three Hundred Years Old.
When the fish commission, some years
ago, began to introduce carp into the
streams of this country it is doubtful If
they were building. e5is pretteen
orally known, sNry Ehe Washington
News, that the. ; lasyish and, to fisher
men, despicahie Iizen of the water is
gifted with a tenure of life, barring
chance encounter with hook, a big
black bass with his back up or other
vicissitudes of piscatorial existence,
which exceeds that of most creatures, |
but the actual age that they do attain |
under favorable circumstances is APP
palling. There are very few fishermen
who haven't yarn about some willy
old trout or bass that has been known
to frequent the same pool for many
years, but Assistant Secretary of State
Rockhill tells of a carp that can gTva
any of these fish points on how to at
tain a long life. He says that in a
pond at at Fontainbleau there is, or
was when he was last there, bar
in the pond in the reign of Francis l.
As that monarch fourished during the
sixteenth century, Mr.. Rockhills carp
is considerably more than three hun
dred years old. To prevent any mis-
take by future generations the gentle
man who occupied the Office of commits
sioner of fish and fisheries for his royal
highness placed a metal tag in the carp's
fin, and it is by this mark that the fish
is known from the others in this little
lake.
