RELICS UNEhRTHED.
An Interesting Find In the Harvard Col.

Students of antiquity at Harvard col
lege and many everyday philosophers
are interested in a find unearthed with
in a few days on the college grounds.

On the site of some of the old build.
ings, being removed to widen the
square, newspapers of the year 1900 and
copper coins have been found. One of
the tattered newspapers bears date of
July s, $500, and the word Photographic"
on the title page. Another paper bears
date of August II, 1900, and the word
CONSTITUTION" or constitutional" at
the top of the first page. The papers
are badly discolored from age and ex-
posture.
Some believe that the paper bearing
the word Telegraphe was an early issue
of the Boston Daily Telegraph, which
IS preserved in the Harvard college
library as far back as 1924. The typo
graphy of the papers is in the style
of the period of their publication, and
quite representative in the matter of
advertisements of the early business
life and conditions in Boston Politics
are discussed with almost as much en-
erSy as the present day. AS an in
stance, reference is made to Hamilton
and Jefferson, the former being re-
ferred to in such elegant terms as ~
notorious Jacobin, alias Democrat, alias
Republican,.
The eight coppers found have found
place with the other relics of the
Harvard college library.

PRIMITIVE WOMAN WAS NEW.
Indian Relics Prove That the First Pot
ter Was Woman.

The discovery near Maurice river, III
the neighbOring state of New Jersey,
of large numbers of stone implements
used by Indian or other tribes in the
long gone centuries brings into notice
the primitive woman. says the New
York Tribune.
In New Jersey, as every where else in
the world, she appears to have been
industrious and energetic and ingen-
lous. Among the implements discov-
cred which she employed in prehistoric
New Jersey were flint knives, with
which she cut meat and probably veg
etablos; flint scrapers, with which She
cleaned the skins of deer and bear. wild
cat and other animals, preliminary to
drying and smoking them for use as
wearing apparel; clay pots and pans,
pipkins and dishes, which she made IN
primcval pottcries, at first the sun dry
ing them and thereafter burning them
in hot wood fires. The pottery shows
here and there artistic warnings on the
part of the unknown makers, more un-
couth and rudimentary than those OF
the ancient cliff-dwellerS, but never
theless they disclose the artistic senti-
ments and confirm the long list of ex-
amples collected by Prof. Mason, of
Washington, showing that the first pot
ter, the first modeler, the first sculptor
and carver and the first artist was a.

Life in the Polar Region.

Some curious details of life in The POI.
lar region have been obtained from
members of the Nansen expedition
They all dwell on the feelings of delight
which they experienced in once more
meeting other human beings. SO tired
did they become of seeing the same
faces and hearing the same voices DAY
after day in the course of the slow drift
nerthward that in the end a feeling Of
Irritation was produced. At times this
irritability became well-nigh insup-
portable. Finding it almost impossible
to endure the sight of another day, they
would set off on long walks over the
ice, each man by himself. 1t was an
astounding thing, one man said, TO see

CHANGES LIBERAL VIEWS.
Feels the Need OF Foreign Aid and Would
Welcome It.


1t is claimed that Notwithstanding
Ii Hung Chang has shown some liberal.
ity of views toward modern improve
ment and education, he l. at heart
hater of foreigners and has an abid-
ing faith in Chinese institutions and
methods of government. says Cen
fury. He is, it is true, great admirer
of Confucian philosophy, and remem-
bering the enduring history of his peo-
pie we can hardly wonder at his devo-
ton to the institutions which have
made that history possible.
When we call to mind the experience
China has had with certain western
nations, it might not be considered
strange if his attachment to foreigners
was not very ardent; but in all his pub
lie life his conduct shows that he feels
TO give it proper welcome, and of all
Chinese statesmen he is the most liber.
al-minded and free from prejudice
He is far from claiming that the pres.
ent system of government is perfect.
He has, in fact, urged upon the author

which look TO a reform of the most
serious defects in the system, to-wit,
the withdrawal from the viceroys of
provinces of powers which should be
exercised only by the imperial govern.
ment and such change in the method
of admission to the public service as
will liberaliZe the examinations and
make fitness rather than scholarship

which he would gladly bring about If
he had the power; but, as he confessed
to Marquis Ito: China is hampered by
Anticipated customs which prevent de.
sirable reforms"

JUSTICE In ALABAMA.
Why Prisoner WAS Declared NO.
Guilty"


A Jacksonville broker, while travel
ing in the Alabama mountains, was in
vited by Il friend, local judge. to at
tend the trial of n Cracker for shoot
ing a darby, and, the prisoner having
no money to hire Il lawyer, the judge
appointed the broker to defend him,
allowing that if the broker was not
lawyer, "he was an idiot because he
wasn't one"-a judgment amply sup
ported by his conduct of the case, says
the San Francisco Argonaut. The bro
ker cross-eXamined the witness briefly,
sending in now and then a discomfting
trajectory. When he came to make
speech, he said: Gentlemen of the
jury, 1 have taken great pains to show
you that my client was a respectable
citizen. Ten witnesses have asserted
on oath, mind you-that he stands high
in his community" The defendant
was six feet three inches tall and the
jury smiled. HE stood high in his
community, and that is sufficient.
Now, for the law. We find in the thir-
teenth verse of the sixteenth chapter
of 'Chitty on Chitty, gen.
tlemen, was one Of the bravest generals
in the confederate army-this well-es-
tablished principle of law" Here the
broker adjusts his glasses, holds the
book far off, elevates his chin and
reads: ":No respectable white man
can be guilty of crime That, gentle
men, is enough. leave the case in
your hands"
Each juror changed his quid, looked
at his neighbor, nodded and, without
leaving their seats, they rendered a
loud and emphatic verdict of Not
guilty." and then joined in three
cheers for the defendant and his law

n Remarkable Nevada Wood

One of the most remarkable products
of Nevada is u species of wood known as
mountain mahogany, which, when dry,
is as hard as lockwood, very fine grained,
red in color, and of very high specific
gravity. 1t has been used for boxes
for shaftings, and, in some instances,
for slides and dies in quartz batteries
1t burns with blaze as long-lasting as
ordinary wood, but after going through
what appears to be regular combustion
it is found almost unchanged in form,
lasts about twice as long as ordinary
wood, giving out immense heat, greater
than coal, all the time.

khad in being smaller and also in the
formation of their mouths. Their
singing is pleasant at first, but soon
grows monotonous, owing to the fact
that it is a constant repetition OF the
