Old Theater Tickets.

During the last few years large
number of small metal plates have been
found at diggings in Athens and Pira-
Gus, and they were commonly consid-
cred to be small symbols. The Greek
archaeologist, Svoronos, has now DEM
onstrated beyond doubt that the metal
plates were used as tickets of admission
to the Theater of Dyonisos about the
time of Lycurgus. The images on these
theater tickets. certainly the oldest of
their kind in existence, show either the
head of Pallas Athene, turned to the
left, or the head of lion. and the let
tiers of the alphabet in single. double or
triple arrangement. 1t appears, there
fore, that the laws introduced by Lycur-
gus, which had such a great influence
upon Athenians in all walks of life, ex-
tended also to the admission to theaters,
which was also probably regulated by
him.-Philadelph Record.

A Dead Failure.

certain professor in one of the
leading schools of this city was not
long since desirous of incorporating
some negro dialect in story he was
preparing. Not being very well versed
in their manner of speech. he bethought
him that it would be good idea to
study the language in its purity unde-
filed. With this end in view he betook
himself to the vicinity of the union
depot, near which representatives OF
the ebon race are always to be found.
One effort was enough. Meeting a
coal-blaek negro driving a wagon rather
well loaded, and accosting him as Uncle
john" the following brief dialogue en-
sued:
Pretty heavy load, uncle. Can you
get up the hill with it?"
81 do not know. sir, but presume so. F"
Such an example of pure and unde-
filed English coming from such an un-
expected source almost paralyzed the
professor, who muttered something
about 1.-The degeneracy of the modern
negro" and, mentally deciding to con-
suit the works of "Uncle Remus," he
rctraced his steps to his apartments

death, he was unhurt, save the sicken-
ing sensation of the thrilling ride and
the shock sustained by his sudden
plunge into the river.
When he struck the water he was
still on top of the log, and went under
with it, but when he arose to the sur
face he was alone and within few
yards of the opposite shore. With some
little difficulty he pulled himself out of
the water, and after recovering to some
extent the use of his faculties viewed
with wonderment the scene of his ride
and shudderingly thought of his mar
row escape. In his descent he supposed
the entrie trail of logs was following
swiftly after the one he was on, and
when plunged into the river he expect
ed to be ground to pieces with the logs.
Now, as he stood on the bank of the
stream and looked, not another log was
in sight, and his wonderment increased.
Gathering himself together as well as
possible he sought a sheltered spot, and
with dry matches found in an inside
pocket kindled fire and dried himself
and sought composure after his thrill
ing experience.

Sweetwood, q lumberman in the wilds
of the Allegheny mountains, one day
recently, corners the market on fast
travelling.
Sweetwood is young man about %
years of age. He is the son of farmer
from one of the most rural districts of
this county, big, rawboned, and fearless
of anything on top of earth. AS with
all farmers, so with this one, work dur
ing the winter season is slack, and
John, thinking to earn an extra penny
or himself, determined late in the fall
of 1896, and with the opening of the
numbering season, to go into the woods
and spend the winter logging" In
numbering, as in every other kind of
employment, experience counts for
great deal. and the inexperienced, or
"greenies." as they are termed in the
lumbermen's camp, are not deemed
capable of performing the work of an
old hand at the business, and so are gen
orally put at work on something more
simple.
Fifteen and twenty years ago lumber
ing was vastly different in the Allegha-
nies from what it is to-day. Then vir-
gin forests covered the entire range of
mountains and the lumbermen had only
TO select the timber nearest to some
stream, and the work of getting the
logs to water to float down to market
was question of minor Importance.
Now, owing to the fact that all the tim
ber along the large streams has been
cut, the getting of the logs to water is
one of the gravest questions confront
ing the lumbermen. Where practica-
BILE, what are termed "log drives" are
erected for this purpose. A log drive"
is simply constructed by laying two
hewed logs alongside each other. in
trail cut from the camp to the nearest
stream, sometimes five, eight or ten
miles away. These drives are usually
prepared early in the fall, and when the
first fall of snow comes they are put
in condition for use by hauling drag
along between them, which packs down
the snow. On this water is poured and
allowed to freeze, the result being a
rude trough of ice, over which the logs
glide down grade with startling swift
ness. But these drives are not all down
grade. Perhaps half the distance will
be up grade, and to get the logs up the
mountain teams of horses are used.
After the logs are rolled into the drive
a team is hitched to a log with perhaps
100 ahead of il. according te the steep
ness of the incline, and in this way the

A Noble Animal.

Barry, a French Newfoundland dog
who. in the course of 12 years. had
saved more than 20 lives. lived in the
stormy times of the first empire, when
bands of French soldiers were dailv
crossing the mountains to join the regi.
ments in Italy.
One day soldier had strayed away
from his company and lost his way i'm
defile of the mountains. Exhausted
with fatigue, in endeavoring to retrace
his steps. he fell fainting in the snow
and would certainly have perished had
not the dog, Barry, who, with wonder.
full sagacity. was searching for strac.
glers, found him. The soldier, reused
from his stupor by contact with the
warm breath and caresses of the dog
slowly opened his eyes, and seeing. con.
fusedly, what he imagined to be fero.

if about to devour him, drew his swor,l
in self-defense, and thrust at the ami.
NAL, seriously wounding him. lie was
about to strike again when, now thor.
oughly aroused, he perceived that il was
the devoted Barry, the noble animal w nc
had saved his life. Overwhelmed with
grief, the soldier endeavored to stauncb
the wound with snow, and thus they
were found by party of soldiers. All
efforts to save the poor dogs life were
fruitless, and he died victim of devo
tion.-Brooklyn Eagle.

REPUBLICANS REvOLTED.

Among the PrOtectiOnists.

Opposition TO DingIeyism Even
Among the ProtectiOnists.
The criticism Of the cotton and
wooden schedule Of the Dingley bill
by republican Congressman Mccall and
Lowering, of Massachusetts,, is but a
faint indication of the dissatisfaction
crate protectionists. Both these mem-
bers pronounced the duties to be too
high--more than the manufacturers
needed or desired. Massachusetts"
said Mr.. lowering, "wants tariff that
will stand"
Certainly worse-than-M cKinley
tariff, as it has been demonstrated that
the Dingley bill would be. will not
stand. The Dingleyites appear to have
forgotten 1890 and 1892.
In replying to the criticisms Of his
own party colleagues Mr.. Dingley re-
peated the old sophistry that 1.-THE pro-
lection afforded is only such as is neces-
sary to equalize the labor conditions
In the United States and those prevail
ing In other producing countries"
Does Mr.. Dipgley pretend to say that
there is difference of so per cent. Of
the full value of the goods between the
labor cost here and abroad? Has he for
gotten that another Maine statesman
James G.. Blaine-certified as secretary
CT state that the labor cost in American
cottons was less than in goods made
in England? Is the total labor cost in
woolens anywhere equal to Mr.. Ding
ley's duties? Can he mention the coun-
try and prove the fact?

important schedules is so extreme aa

The Antiquity of MaD.

Our geologists rarely use the term
"quaternary." By European writer's it
is understood to mean the period which
followed the Tertiary, and includes the
present time. Archeologically it is di-
y:ded into two epochs, the older incIud-
ing the pre-glacial, the glacial and the
post-glacial ages, all characterized by
a chipped-stone industry; the latter be-
ginning with the neolithic culture and
continuing till now. Prof. Gabriel de
Nortillet, in the "Revue Mensuelle." of
the Paris school of Anthropology Jan
uary 15), succlnctly explains these di-
visions and sets forth with his usual
clearness the typical products and the
fauna which characterizes them. He
has found no reason materially to mod
ify the opinions he advanced in his
earlier works, and still maintains that
n careful study of the geological data
bearing on the question of the antiquity
of man does not allow Us to assign it a
more recent date than $50, 0,00o years ago.

Several hours later he made his way
downstream until he found place to
cross, then retraced his steps to the
drive and started back to camp. About
half way up the mountain he found an
explanation of the missing logs. The
log next to the one on which he had
been perched had evidently fnagged on
something in the drive. and its sudden
stop had tumbled the whole string of
