ITALIAN ANTIQUITIES.
An Underground Trade in Them In spite
of Legal Interdictio ions.

Some days ago a well-known dealer
in antiquities offered for sale to the
Louvre museum in Paris splendid col

London News. The museum was una.

minister of education, having learned Of
this, has taken proceedings uHde, the
Pacca law against Sig. di Frisco, the
owner OF these antiquities. The latter is

secretly made excavations on his estate
and found 2S silver vases of remote an

Notwithstanding the Italian law pro-

sending them out of the country with

law, which prevents old works Of art
from commanding anything like their
natural price in the impoverished COM

of Italy and offered it to 4 Paris deaEer

search, he found other silver vases.

have connived at this latest evasion of

a MISSED KISS.
The Reason Why Two Ambassadors Lost
Their Places.

Two ambassadors have lost their
places through their failure TO take adj
vantage afforded them to kiss the hand
of the czarina, says the Seattle Post
Intelligencer Count Montebello. the
French ambassador, lost his place. 1t
is not made known whether he only
obeyed orders or not, but he had to sUf-
fer the penalty. 1t was very unfcr-
tunate for him that when the French
people through their government had
undertaken to show their friendship for
Russia by a most lavish display of os-
tentatious ceremony and the eXpendi-
ture of many millions Of dollars the
entire effect should he lost by the fail
ure of the chief functionary to press
his lips to the imperial hand.
The other ambassador who lost his
position is Prince Radalin. the repre-
sentative at the Russian court of the
German empire. No reason is given for
his omission to observe a customary act
OF homage. He had not the excuse Of
being the minister from a republic. He
represented a court where such ccre-
monies are strictly observed and an inn
periai master who is as strict in re-
ouiring Observance of court etiquette
rs the Russian emperor. These pun
ishments should be warning to all men
never to lose favorable opportunity

STRANGEST OF FISHES.

versitT.

a Marine Wonder ct :he Columbia Uni
versity.
There is an animal at Columbia uni
versity which has neither ears, eyes,
head nor heart.
The absence OF the head and heart is
naturally the odd feature of this strange
creature, which biologists call n lance
let. One of them is now being expert
1uented Oh in Columbia university e
biological laboratory. says the San
Francisco Examiner.
Although this wonder looks a good
deal like fish, it is really an animal,
for there is just as much difference be-
tween the lancelet and n salmon, for
instance, as there is between n man and
an ordinary bird.
Epcureans with n sweet tooth for
fish will hail with delight the prospect
of having all the lakes and rivers of the
country stocked with the lancelet, for
in their entire body there is not bone,
True, there is kind of backbone run
ming the length of the body, but as this
bone is not a bone at all, but only a
strip of what ordinary mortals would
call gristle, no trouble with fshboncs
can follow from the attempt to eat the
animal when q man Is in a hurry tO
catch an "L' express.
Still another advantage exists to a
man who wants TO eat the lancclet in .
jiffy. This advantage is, perhaps, zone
better" than the absence of bones.
Livery mans eyes perform the function
of an N-ray machine in good working
order, for the lancelet is absolutely
transparent in every section of its ex-
traordnary corpus.

The French republic, thanks to the

"BOYS ALL OVER"
How Two Youngsters E1perimented with
Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy.
superintendent Nimball, of the life
saving service, told story of two boys,
and it is so boys all over" as most
mothers would say, that ii ought to be
printed. The now accomplished officer
says that when he was a boy he had q
chum, and both were poisoned year
after year while running about the
woods by poison ivy. One day, says
the Washington Star, they heard or read
something to the effect that if persons
would swallow two or three leaves of
the ivy they would never again be af-
fected by it. To relieve themselves of
the regular summer and often-recur-
ring annoyance they decided to take a
few leaves of it as medicine. Mr.. Kim
ball was of an investigating turn of
mind, and found out tAat on the under
side of the leaf there was very fine
dust. He told his companion that as
they were experimenting it would be
well to see if it made any difference
whether one side or the other con-
tanned the poison. He rolled up his
three leaves so as to cover the dust, and
his friend rolled his SO as to leave the
dust side exposed. With a glass of water
and as little chewing as possible they
swallowed their doses. The result was
something horrible, especially for the
boy who took the dusty side of the ar
gument. For weeks after he could not
shut his mouth on account of the terri
bic condition of his mouth and throat
He had to be fed with liquids by quill,
and it was only q miracle that he did not
die. Mr.. Kimball Jared somewhat bet
ter, especially as to his mouth and
throat, but there was trouble enough on
the inside to make up for it. And there
was no cure worked. The next season
they suffered as before.

Make NuTsances OF Themselves.
There are some persons who are
never satisfied unless making noise.
For them the bicycle is too silent q
st2ed, and they have been endeavoring
to find some method of racket-maling 9
while riding. The latest for the noise
loving rider is the big gong attached TO
the rear wheel, which clangs like q
street car gong and makes tiInid per-
sons fear that they are about to be run
down by 4 trolley car. This is only one
form of nuisance The other is rub
Der band attachment to- the frame of
the wheel. The rCAoer bands are used
for the reason that when the wind is
blowing and the rider is pedaling in
its direction the bands set up a hum
ming sound that is really hideous. Sew
eral runaways have been caused by the
buzzing of the rubber.
