FROM COINS AND VASES.
Much History of the Old Countries s
Is Learned Through Their
Valuable Aid.

Some Of the most notable work of re-
matics. l can remember the time,
scarcely a quarter of a century ago,
when Greek coins were commonly called
medals, and valued only as works of art
or as interesting documents of mythol-
Ogy, or perhaps as serving to illustrate
some passage in Sophocles or Euripides.
The idea of placing the coins of every
Greek city in a strict chronological Sc
quence, so that at every point they
could be brought into relations with the
recorded history of that city, was for
eign to earlier numismatics. 1t was
like the letting out of water when Mr..
Barclay Head, now keeper of coins in
the British museum, published his
modest work on the chronological Sc
quence of the coins of Syracuse, in
which for the first time rigorous and
logical method of arranging the coins
was followed. This work made it's ap-
pearance in 1874; and in the score Of
years which have since elapsed the en-
tire procedure in Greek numismatics
has been changed, and we regard coins
as documents always to be placed in the
strictest relation to history, in series
which runs parallel to the civil and mil
itary transactions of every city, and
often casts on these light which is by
no means to be despised.
1t is well known that while works of
Greek sculpture survive in abundance,
the equally beautiful and important Gre
ations of the great painters of Greece
have utterly perished. Our knowledge
of great masters of the brush in Greece
is very scanty; we even have to fall back
on the stories, often silly and always
untrustworthy, told of them by the
elder Pliny. But we are now slowly
working back to them from the designs
of Greek vases, which cannot indeed
give us any notion of the coloring which
they used, but may serve to enlighten
us in regard to their treatment of sub
Jects, their grouping and perspective
and their drawing In regard to the
greatest of early Greek painters, Poly
gnotus, who probably exercised much
influence even on the genius of Pheidias,
we have lately gained much light. Com
pairing the elaborate descriptions of his
works by the traveller Pausanias with
the designs of eXtant vases, we have by
degrees, Prof. Robert, of Halle leading
the way, at length reached point at
which we may claim to have recovered
the general character of Polygnotan
art.-Percy Gardner, in Atlantic.

Greatest Founding Hospitalin World

An example of philanthropy carried
to the extreme is that of the great
founding hospital at Moscow, Russia.
1t has under its care no less than 5000
children, and receives every day from
80 to 80 or more babies. If the health of
the foundlings will permit they are
farmed out. All those who are ailing in
any way are kept in the hospital, which
maintains corps of 500 nurses. There
are on an average / 1,40O babies in the
hospital the year round.-N. Y. Sun.

REV. j. w. FRANCIS
Accepts the Call Extended to Him by
an Evanston Church.
Richland Center Wis. Observer.

Richland Center Wis, Observer.
Last Sabbath morning Rev. j. w.
Francis amounted to his congrega-
tion that he had decided to accept
the call extended to him blythe CON
gregation of the South Presbyterian
church Of Evanston, Illinois. A
committee from that church attend
ed services in the Presbyterian
church here some weeks ago, and as
result of that tisit invited Rev.
Francis to occupy the Evanston pull
pit for two Sabbaths. This he did,
and since returning has received a
call to become the pastor.
Rev Francis graduated from the
university of West Virginia in 1892,
and from Mccormick Theological
Seminary, Chicago, in May, 1895.
He became pastor of the church here
Immediately after graduation and
was installed as pastor June 9th,
1895.
He expects to begin his pastorate
in the Evanston church the latter
part of April.
Rev. Francis has made many
friends in this city since the begin
ming of his pastorate of the Presby-
terrain church. He has been held in
the highest esteem by those outside
of the church as we'll as his own con
gregation, and we know that no 9th
er minister has used more power for
the betterment of mankind
Rev. Francis has won honors
among our citizens as an eloquent
speaker and although we are sorry
tolose so good man from our midst,
we are glad to know that he is
climbing the ladder of fame, both as
a gentleman and an eloquent
preacher Of Gods word. He will be
missed by all and remembered by
his good words and works which
can never be forgotten.

A large amont of strychnine found in
Frederick Burdettes stomach by the
chemist.

In the reports of the death of the
late friedrich BuIdet.e of Grafton
several mistakes were made. He had
not inherited fortune from any aunt
as no aunt had died and he had re-
ceived it from no other PERSONS death.
There must have been other reasons
for the poisoning which was suspect
ed
The stomach was sent to Baltimore
aud it is now stated that the chemist
who made the examination found
enough strychnine in his stomach to
kill two or three men.
1t is believed by many that he took
poison himself as be was great suf-
ferer from asthma and other diseases
and had been greatly worried over the
reports that had been made about his
connection with the election in Taylor
county and his connection with the
alleged frauds in that election.
He was county clerk at the time
and had custody of the ballots. 1t
was claimed that they had been tam
pered with and as he was the only
man who could have tempered with
them he was accused with having
committed the crime.
This weighed on his mind and it is
thought that this lead to the suicide
if suicide it was.

General. Lee and was encamped there
on his arrival. A battalion of the Sec
ond Louisiana reached Guines before
his departure. The American troops
were welcomed everywhere and their
presence was made the occasion of dem
onstrations. General Lee received an
enthusiastic welcome at Guines. In

the management Of the affairs of the
island: that its only purpose was to
carry out the pledge of maintaining order
and to assist in the management. until
the people were able to declare for
themselves what their wishes were.
He counselled the loyalty of all classes
towards one another. and complimented
the community OF the good order which
had been preserved. General Lee also
explained how rations were being dis

He said their distress was fully under

hoped to adopt measures of permanent
relief. He hoped ultimately to see the
establishment of agricultural banks.
Personally he favored making a loan of
oxen and seed to the people, so that they
could put in next seasons crop.
Regarding local affairs, General Lee
said it was the policy of the American
authorities to have the towns select. as
