 Ak Head Money,

When DI Schliemann was digging as the supposed site of Troy, he uncovered the remains of several ancient cities which had been built one after another on the same hill. In the second layer from the bottom he discovered masses of silver in the form of axe heads. Dr. Gotze now suggests that these were intended not for implements, but for money. Bronze axe heads have also been discovered in ancient remains, mingled with metal pieces in the form of rings, in such manner as to sug- gest that all alike were inteued to serve as money. After the axe head had disappeared as actual money the memory of it was pre- served in the coins of Tenedos, which bore the figure of an axe head. Dr. Gotze also sugge1ts that tile wedge of gold" which Aohan stole from the spells of Jericho and for the stealing of which Joshua had him stoned to deatt was Q specimen of the an cient axe head noney.--San Francisco Ar.

The Quarrelsome Robin.

The robin, that "pious' bird, is very quarrelsome, and it exasperates one to watch him wasting the precious hours of food in hunting another hungry robin up and down and round and round till the sparrows have cleared the board. The blackbirds, too, are very annoying In the way that they snatch up lump of bread and fly off with it, only to be chased about for the rest of the morning by other black birds, while a sparrow makes q squars meal off the Inorsel fallen meanwhile un- der a shrub, but relentless as they are in pursuit, the curious fact is thai they sell dom fight.

 Fatigue of Metals.

Grasp in both hands strong wire or iron rod and bend 1t backward and for ward for a certain length of time and it breaks from what scientists call fa- tigue. In other words, it is unable to stand the strain of tho violent expan- sion and compression to which the par ticles are subjected Much attention has been given to this subject, and the fa- tigue and exhaustion of metals prove to be most interesting topics
 It is, however, demonstrated that if the movement of the molecules ceases before the breaking point is reached the metal may recover. Fatigue ill metals is cured by rest, as is that i'll human beings. Sometimes it requires years of inactions to bring these metals back to their normal state. Edged tools are greatly improved by putting away AL most every one is familiar with the fact that razors become after a time almost useless. If they are put away and al- lowed to remain untouched for a period of years, they recover their vitality, so to speak, and may be even better than they were originally. Carpenters and workers who use fine tools would find 1t of great advantage to keep duplicate sets, one of which might be put away to rest while the other was doing serv. ice. New York Ledger.

HOW You Bicycle In Holland.

There arc no restrictions of any sort that know of in Holland. You may ride any whore you want-on the toWpath, the dikes or the brick streets. You can see more of the country from a cyelo than in any other way, as the roads are invariably higher than the canals or the railways, and you can ride from one end to tho oth- CT of tho most interesting part in q day. In riding on towpaths, however, it is well to look out for tow and other ropes if you do not want to be suddenly swept into canal. From Rotterdam most interest ing tour can be made to Tho Hague Haar- lem, the dead cities of the Zuyder Zee, back down the great dike to Amsterdam, thence to Dordrecht, and up the Rhine, il you like. The children of that country, it might be remarked, are 1iends incarnate and have q European reputation for devil try As almost everybody speaks more or less English thero is little trouble ill get ting about Holland and A ustria Hungary are the most oxpensiNe countries next tu Eng land to travel in unless you are at- nuainted with tho ways and tho language.

WHY CALLED TuMeLERs.

Curious Origin of the Name of an Article
 In Daily Use.
 Every day we drink out of n tumbler. Why is the large glass that holds our milk and water so called? Years ago Professor Max Muller was giving q luncheon at All Souls college, Oxford, to the Princess Alice, the wife of the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt and the second daughter of Queen Victoria. There wore not dozen guests besides ths princess and her hus- band and very agreeable luncheon we had, with talk OF all kinds of interesting subjects.
 But what excited the curiosity of all strangers present was Il set of little round bowls of silver, about the size of a larga orange. They wesa brought round filled to the brim with sne famous ale hrewed Ill tho college. These, we are told, wor0 tumblers, and wAwero speedily shown how they came by their names-a fitting lesson for the guests of @ philologist. When ons of these little k@wss was empty, 1t waa placed upon $hs table mouth downward. Instantly, se perfect was the balance, is flew back to Its proper position as if ask. ing to be filled again. No matter how it was treated-trundled along the floors, bel. anced carefully on it's side, dropped sud denly upon the soft, thick carpet--up iA rolled again and settled itself with few gentlo shakings and swayings into its place, like one of those india rubber tum. bling dolls babies delight in.
 This, then, was the origin of our word tumbler at first made of silver as are all these All Souls tumblers. Then, when glass became common, the round glasses thnt stood on fiat base superseded tho ex- quisitely balanced silver spheres and stole their names so successfully that you hays to go to All Souls to see the real thing. -- Philadelphia Times

Byron.s Marriage.

Swift said, 'No wise man ever mar ried." Byron's marriage was an act of lunacy. The very manner of it's begin ming was insineere and theatrical. His friends had been urging him to marry, so he wrote two proposais-sort of "sealed tenders and sent them to two young ladies. One of them declined, the other accepted. Naturally Byron mar yied tho latter. The rest is known, and for this part of his life has the poet suf- fered strongest criticism. It did not die with his death, but the evil that he did lived after him, while tho good was seemingly 'entombed with his bones. The world holds as most potent proof of his insincerity that he made his wife's existence purgatory, finally drove her from his house, even refusing to shake hands with her at the last goodby, and then wrote:
 Fare thee well. and. if forever,
 Still forever fare thee welll
 Even though umforgiving, never
 'Ganst thee shall my heart rebel.
 These words were set to music and sung with tears by young girls all over the English speaking world, who felt that Lady Byron was hard hearted, wicked wretch to so desert her grief crushed husband h fact, the poor lady neyer saw the verses until she beheld them in print and read with astonished eyes:
 Fare thee welll Thus disanited
 Torn from every nearer tie,
 Scared Ill heart and love and blighted,
 More than this l scarce ean die
 At the same moment this singer of pathetic songs was alternating between bearing the pageant Of his bleeding heart" through Europe and eonsoling himself liberally with Miss Jane Cler- mont -Cilioago Ili~aes- -neraid.

 ssIt's the hardest nut in the country,n pnid Detective Dick Brophy proudly as hs laid his hand cn Detective Paddy Fitx- gerald head.
 It's fact, too--at least no one has come forward with hls own head to disproye the claim. When Fitzgerald was common policeman, none of the Lawrenoeville toughs ever thought of hitting him on the head when resisting arrest They always sought q vital spot. There is only one head splitting weapon thas he eyer dodged, and that was some years ago, when nos torious bad man who hung out at Four teenth street and Penn avenue aimed Q blow at him with a baseball bat Fitz. gerald ducked on that occasion and bUtte6 bis opponent Into insensibility.
 The other nighta policeman walked inte headquarters and produced a now hand billy, tho finest. he said, ever made. Fits gerald reached for it. rapped it on the top of his head five times, burst the leather knob and sent the shot with which 1t was loaded flying all over the room. Thres other policemen, who declared that 1t wAa . put up io5 and that the weapon had been dootored, had to buy new hand bil, ties, for Fitzgerald took every one as fast Ks presented anu DTOk6 bHom on ms SKuIk
 Matt Weiss, Smitbfield street saloon keeper noted for his hard head, became jealous some time ago of Fitzgeralds s rep. utation and challenged him to head test. tng match. The two men grasped each other by the wrists and indulged in but. ting set to. For 8 minute or two there was Q sound as of husky woodman cut. ting down heavy timber, and Weiss keeled oyer yanquished. It remarkable, too. that both men are of gentle disposition. Their skulls, though hard, are packed with gray matter, as their success in their oceu. pations proves. Matt Weiss has beeoms rich keeping a saloon, and Fitzgerald is considered one of the most intelligent de- teotiyes on the force. Pttsburg Letter ia New York Sun.

MRS. WALINSKI
BURNED TO DEATH
The Husband Was Unable to
Save His Wife.
STANDING BEFORE CRATE
The Flames Had Almost Encircled Her
Body Before She Discovered That
Her Clothing Was on Fire
Had Baby in Her Arms.

Henry Ellen, November 2S.-Mrs. John w.
Walinski. wife of Mine Foreman Walinski,
Of the Mcnamara Coal company, died this
morning from the effects of burns received
yesterday afternoon at her home in this
place. The accident was a most shocking
one and has cast a gloom over the quiet
little village.
Shortly after dinner Mr. Walinski left his
home where he and his pretty young wife
had been playing with their infant babe to
go to the mines to look after some work.
His residence was only short distance
from the mine, and while walking about he
CHANGED to look toward the house and was
| Mortified to see his wife standing at the
window wrapped in a sheet of flame. Almost
bereft of reason by the terrible sight that
met his gaze Mr.. Walinsh rushed to the
| house only to find that his eyes had not de-
ceived him. Crazed with pain the unfor-
tunate woman was making a desperate ef-
fort to tear her burning clothes from her
body. Regardless of the danger to his own
person, the loving husband gathered the
frantic woman in his arms and succeeded in
smothering the flames, which had already
burned deep into the tender fesh
L. INOSStT WAS liIfmSuldlcly 5uAhiAOhSh
and did everything possible for the relief of
! the sufferer. Opiates were administered
and soon induced rest, but the shock was
too great and the opiates soon lost their
charm. Mrs. Walinski soon regained con-
seriousness and told the story of how the
accident happened. She said that she was
standing in front of the crate with her
| babe in her arms. Her back was to the
| fire and 1t was not until the cruel flames
almost encircled her body that she dis
covered that her clothes were on fire. With
rare presence of mind she rushed to the
bed and, with true mothers instinct, laid
her helpless babe upon it out of harm
way. She then tried to smother the flames,
but failing to do so, attempted to raise the
window to call to her husband to come to
her assistance. 1t was at this juncture
that Mr.. Walinski CHANGED to look up.
After suffering intense agonies the un-
| fortunate woman died this morning at 8
o'clock.
The funeral will occur tomorrow after
ternoon.

ported that the evidence was such as to
make expulsion justifiable
