Neck fixings are almost as varied as they

a plain bit Of ribbon or satin. 1t must be
trimmed at the upper edge. either with a
simple edg.ng of lace or with points. The

Just Like n Woman.

In Rochester the other evening a woman
got on a street car, carrying an apple and
her purse in her hand. She sat down next

her purse and the apple in the side pocket
of her sack. The young man got out at
Union street. and the car went on. pas

A NcOllthic Burial Ground.


The discovery at Worms of a burying
ground belonging to the later stone age, by
DIR. Koehl, the conservator Of the Paulus
Museum there Is. in view of the rarity of
such graves, an important archaeological
event. Up to the present about seventy
graves have been examined or only part
of this hurying ground of neolith:c man,
and already the number of the vessels
found, most of them very tastefully orna-
mented. exceeds, one hundred. Not the
slightest trace of a metal has, as yet, been
discovered in the graves; on the other hand
the presence of arm-rings of blue and gray
slate Is curious. In the most recently
opened graves of women three arnt-rings
made of slate were removed from the up
Fer arm Of one skeleton, four from that of
another, and six from the lower arm of
third skeleton. In a mans grave there
was on the neck of the skeleton a small
conicaliy polished ornament of syenite, hot
perforated. but provided with groove for
the string. The other ornaments from the
graves consist of pearls, mussel shells made
in the form CT trinkets. perforated bears

Wlnes Against Steam.
From the PittsburS rcss.

FROM The ilffsburg fcSf.
Erie and Pittsburg trainmen are talking
about the curious race between an express
train and a wild goose. which occurred the
other day between Shadeland and Summit.
The veteran engineer. Tony Welsh, was at
the throttle. and when the Canadian honker
came lazily soaring alongside the engine
and challenged the iron steed to keep mp
with him. Tony turned on the steam and
made it necessary for the goose to nap his
wings little harder. and after getting out
OF sight OF the train he would settle down
in a field and wait for the express to catch
up with him. He waited at Springhoro.
Conneautville and Summit, and startiRg
after the train from these points, flew
close 10 the coach windows in full view of
all the passengers, who crowded over to
that side of the train tc observe the queer
actions Of the bird. When the goose at
one time got close to the engine, Engineer
Welsh pulled the whistle, and the bird was
so badly scared that he turned over in the
cir like Il tumbling pigeon.
