GREWS0ME G0BLETS.
RECENTLY UNEARTHED NEAR
FAMOUS POMPEu.

EmbeIlIshed with skeletons of Not
ed Philosophers and Poets-VaIued
Relics of Antiquity.
In the little town OF Boscoreale, whose
dwellings gleam with startling Wilderness
from among the vines and fruit gardens
on the southern declivity Of Mount Vesu-
vius, near Pompeii, the owner Of an estate,
VIncenzo de Frisco, discovered in the fall
of 1894 the ruins of an ancient villa dat
ing from the days of antiquity. The work
of excavation, which was at once Under
taken has just been ended, and many in
teresting facts have come 10 light concern
ing the lives of the ancents.
The dwelling unearthed was the simple
home of peasant, the same roof sheltering
man and beast. wine aud oil presses. One
flight up there were a few good living
rooms. In front of the house were still
traces of the elms, about which vines had
wound their tendrils.
These discoveries were Of little imp)r-
lance, but on the ground floor, beside the
wine press, was found the skeleton Of
man, lying face downward, clutchlng gold
bracelets and a golden chain. Strewn
-ab9ut him were more than 1000 gold CONS.
Wrapped in a piece of cloth, shreds of
which were still intact, were nearly a
hundred silver vessels and articles Of the
most varied description, many of their
priceless works of art. 1t was a silver
treasure trove richer than had ever hele-
tofore been found.
p.Dhe man had evidently made an attempt
to save his treasures and had been suf-
located in the rain Of ashes. How this
princely fortune was carried into the poor
peasants dwelling will be explained Prob
ably only by the fancy of the poet or
the romancer.
Among the silver vessels, two goblets
have aroused special interest. They were
so peculiar that antiquarles at first sus-
pected they were spurious. In shape and
dimensions they somewhat resemble Cice
boxes.
The upper rim of each goblet is decordt-
ed with garland of roses. In sharp CON
trast to this floral establishment, there
are shown below it rows of skeletons. with
manifold attributes and in varied poses.
Names and inscriptions give an explana-
ton of the various scenes. on each COB
let three groups are readily distinguished
each consisting of two or three skeletons
One group represents philosophers, another
poets, while the third is not characterized
by any inscription.
If we examine the figures a little closer
we perceive on the one goblet two phi
losophers facing each other, each with
stave and beggar's wallet. They are Zeno
advocate of the rigid, stoical philosophy
and Eplcurus, at whose feet a pig indi-
Gates the material pleasure loving teacn-
ings of his system.
The goblet's designer indicates in the
inscription to which sect he is inclined
Pleasure Is the final aim" Hence the
skeleton reaches eagerly for the bowl On
a little table before him, and even the pig
evidently is snuffing its aroma.
In the group of poets following are seen
Sophocles, in pompous, theatrical pose
and beside him Moschion, deep In contem-
platiou Of a tragic mask. while an IN

they tax them by doing a great deal of

work by throwing out of place the great

The Sacred Beetle, Long WOrshippeG
by Ancient Egyptians.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t was among the yagaries of the most
advanced race of ancient times the
Egyptians, to worship as sacred such
things as the cat, the ibis, the beetle,

of the mummy upstairs is an image of
the beetle. 1t was commonly buried with
The dead.
The specimen shown in the case labeled
"a Sacred Beetle From Egypt" is the
atenchus sacer. This is the true sacred
beetle, though there were others besides
the scarabaeus that were held in equal
honor. The atenchus sacer is black, and
usually less than an inch in length. It
