Recent Excavations in ereeOs.

| That which most stimulates the ardoi
of the excayator, laboring, as ne gener
ally must, amid difficulties and discom
forts of all kinds, is the romantic inter
est of his pursuit--a feeling so fresh ano
exhilarating as to throw into the shade
the proverbial excitement of the gold
digger No find of gold can outweigh
the rapture of the explorer who brings
old worlds into new life. The sensa-
ton must be experienced to be under
stood. It is the fascination Of passion
ate love. Only resurrection OF the
dead could surpass its transports The
soil which has been for ages the faith
full custodian of an inheritance laid BY
in trust for the pious and worthy worker
yields to his persistent efforts the treas
ures it has sheltered II gradually re-
yeals the secrets it has guarded so long.
1t is made to speak in a way more per
suasive than the most eloquent histo-
rian, and from its inner darkness it
sheds more light upon the past than the
sun itself can give.
A successful excavatoT creates new
chapters of history. He lends substance
to what were deemed but myths and
brings into being personalities not even
dreamed of before He fills up the gaps
in whole epochs in arts and elucidates,
beyond contention, the meaning of au-
thors which the combined erudition of
the learned was not able satisfactorily to
explain. The determination of ancient
sites fixes events in history. Buildings,
statutes, fctile vases and other works of
art make clear the evolution of civiliza-
lion. The very soil in its successive
layers, with their evidence of devasta-
liens, wreckings and burning, is called
upon to testify to occurrences which are
doubtful or altogether unknown, and
,ague book knowledge is exchanged for
positive Intimacy with the practical
life of ages gone by.-Forum.

a European army has been actually de-

soldiers, though no doubt of Semitic
blood, are most of them darker than any
great tribe of Asiatics. The Italians

When New Animals Arrive.

New animals were always source OF
trouble and anxiety. Every one who
keeps or has kept tame animals knows
the uncertainty and frequent disappoint-
ment which attend the first arrival and
inspection of those which have come
from a distance. Shaken, frightened,
suffering from want of water, with bro
ken feathers or soiled fur, they show the
evil effects of travelling even for "a
hours by rail or water. But In the case
of the smaller animals kept as pets it may
safely be assumed that they were at least
dispatched on their journey in good con-
dition. When the animal is some large
carnivora--perhaps tiger from some
Malayan rejah, or a half grown lion from
Somaliland-there is no means of know
ing whether, previous to IL being ipped
1t had been half starved or overfed. Pos
sibly it had undergone both forms of
treatment.
The sea voyage usually improves their
condition, the sailors being always kind
to animals and in measure assisting
to tame them before their appearance at
the ZOO. But in most cases the temper,
condition and size of the creature are
matters of speculation until the van |
drives up and deposits the big box in
which the creature has been brought
from the docks. Very few are ready to
appear in public at once. Those which
are obviously i'll and exhausted some
times undergo treatment for several
months before being exhibited in the
front cages.-London Spectator.

His Own Funeral Sermon.

George Inwood, of No. 7oe Union
street has written the sermon which will
be delivered at his own funeral. More
over, to make certain that this sermon
shall be fully understood, that there
may be no faltering or hesitancy over
the blindly written words, he has caused
his funeral production to be printed in
large, bold type. One hundred copies
were struck off. These are kept in a
strong box away from the light, only to
be produced on the day of the funeral
Having thus arranged for the statemen
of fact and belief to be uttered, Mr.. In
wood went a step further, and provided
in his will, which will be opened before
the funeral services, for a reader. Any
person who is a sectarian in belief is
disqualified The heirs will
fail of fullfllment of the conditions up
on which bequest are predicated is that
if any member of any sect enunciates
the words. This necessarily bars out
all clergymen. From this it should not
be inferred that Mr.. Inwood has no re-
ligious belief. Of himself he says 81

trims of Jesus Christ, but l am strictly

Ibsen's mastership as an artist be-
comes still greater when it Is considered
that many Of his subjects are not by
themselves dramatic, but rather epic
novels. In a decisive moment the char
acters simply speak for themselves to
each other, and the threads of their
lives are laid bare by what they say.
Thus nearly the whole dramatic effect
is reduced to our interest in getting to
know him who speaks and him who lis
tens, but that is only possible as the sto-
ry goes on, now and then Interrupted
by an event which carries it further in
another manner. Really we are pres
ent at a kind Of cross-examination, but
the Issue Is not how he got her or why
he did not get her The issue is about
life and death, and that gives every
word such an importance that we are
afraid of missing the finest shading in
the expression. In such manner OF
there IL, however, some
hing queer, and Ibsen will hardly have
many imitators. Forum.

CHARLEY wELsH's IRON POST.
Torn Out of BroadwayOAfter Fifteen Years Of
Effort by City Employees.

There is story behind a small iron
post which was recently removed from
in front of the cigar store at 1911 Broad
way by the bureau of membranes.
Fifteen years ago the theatrical adver-
Using agents in this city were having a
hard time of it in securing desirable
spots in which to place their paper. The
regular billboards were good enough for
the big three-sheeters, but it was diff
cult to place many of the single posters
owing to the vigilance of the public
works department officials, wko would
rip up signboards and other mediums
of advertising as fast as they were put
down.
1t was Charles Welsh, now advertising
agent at Hoyts theater, who finally
solved the problem. He bought a six
foot iron post and one dark night carried
it up Broadway to I2rI. Two laborers,
who were along with him then pulled
up one of the fagstones near the curb,
and with pick and shovel dug four-foot
hole in the ground The post was placed |
in the hole, bit of hagstone was
knocked out to make it fit, and the earth |
was packed tightly around it and the |
stone was lowered in place. Two sign
boards were next tied to the post and
single posters pasted on them, so that
people going up and down Broadway
could see the advertisements.
The next day the public works people
sent word to the station house to have
the post removed. The policeman who
went around to attend to it tugged at
the two feet af iron projecting abovegthe
for about fifteen minutes and
then gave up, contenting himself with
rip Ng off the signs. The next week
two Aorers were sent up to remove
the p :, and they banged at it with
'ledge hammers and tugged for all they
we're worth but no results. They
couldn't bulge the post Welsh looked ,,
On with a smile all the time and bill
posters replaced the signs as fast as they
we're down.
On an average of two or three times
Zach year for 5 years an order has been
ssued for the removal of the post, but
none of the laborers sent up accom-
,lshed anything. The regulars on T
Broadway have called it Welsh's post g
or years and it has been Welsh's habit t
o doff his hat to it every time he passes
;p or down the street. But an end F
anne to the prosperity of the post at :
asst. The reform incumbrance bureau il
'rdeIed 1t removed, and the third gang O
# laborers sent up raised the fagstone,
nd after four hours of work dug up II o
'ost and carted it away. Welsh was $
ieartbroken when he heard that it was (

separnting the sexes in Church.

I read in the Bristol Mercury 8 con- plaint of a gentleman who visited with his wife his parish church est. Simon's, Bristol. On entering and taking a seat by his wife he states that he was told that it was and wife to sit together. He, however, sat on. The clergyman went up to him, and urged him to move to the other side. On his still sitting on, the clergy man informed him that, if he would not leave the church, the service would not commence. Still he sat on, when the organ was stopped, and the clergyman made a speech, in which he said that there was a gentleman at the back of the church out of his place, and that the service would not proceed so long as he was there. Seeing that his wife was getting nervous, the gentleman left the church with her. Is this legal? Has not parishioner right of way into his parish church. or is this only right if he conforms to every silly fol- ly which may be ordered by the clergy man in charge? Why is the Church of England, some of whose members only Q short time ago were so strongly of opinion that man and wife are one that they planned riots in churches where a divorced person was to be remarried. to insist on this temporary divorce? What possible objection can there be to husband and wife praying side by side? London Truth.

1000 a suit.
In Olden Times

People used to dig such roots as dan delion, sarsaparilla, yellow dock, etc. etc., every spring and brew home made root beer from them. This home made beer was used as a tonic and beverage by the whole family, just as soon as they could get the roots out of the ground in the spring. Nowadays and for many years past, Williams Root Beer Extract has taken the place of the root digging and brewing process, as it saves great deal of time and trouble, and contains in concentrated form all the valuable roots and herbs that were used by the old folks years ago.
 The sale of Williams Root Beer Ex- tract has increased year by year, until it has become a leading article in thou sands of stores, and many dealers buy several gross at once, in order to supply the large demand.
 The fact that root beer was in de- mand has led to the manufacture and sale of many limitations of root beer that contain no roots. In buying root beer extract you should buy the kind that will do the system good, by inn proving the appetite and aiding diges- ton. Williams Root Beer Extract can be relied upon, as it is the production of the well known drug house, the Will Hams & Carleton Co.,, of Hartford, Conn.
