chance they were eXhumed by the peo-
pie of a far-distant age.
1t was but a short time ago that the
excavations were begun which result
ed in these singular and extraordinary
discoveries. The finding of the re-
mains in the first place was quite acct
dental. Fl. J. Simmons, superintendent
of the Arizona and New Mexico Rail
way, was making excavations along
the lines of the railroad near Clear
Creek, Galveston County, when bones
were found in the earth removed. On
examination of the contents of the
steam shovel, skulls and human teeth
were noticed, and further search led
to the discovery of skeletons of whole
families, together with ivory beads and
other objects of human handiwork.
Realizing the valuable and scientific
character of the discovery, a systemat-
ic search of the strata in the vicinity
was made. Biologists say the whole
section of the State was once covered
by the Gulf of Mexico. The idea at
once came to Mr.. Simmons that in far
distant ages a tidal wave had occurred
at the time the gulf covered more of
that part of the country than at pres
ent and that these bones were the re-
mains of the thousands of human be-
ings who had been drowned in the
overflow Of the waters of the gulf His
theory was later upheld by leading sci.
entists.

LOST RACE OF TEXAS.
Prehistoric City Near Galveston EN-
quilted by a Tidal Wave.

Relics of prehistoric race were dis
covered in Galveston, Texas, just previ-
GUS to the storm that flooded the city.
Nearly 1000 human skeletons We're
found, and scientists who examined
the excavations had just given the
opinion that an ancient city had been
submerged by tidal wave that drown
ed all the inhabitants, when the calam-
ity of centuries ago was repeated.
The bones were discovered in
search for relics for the archaeological
exhibit at the Pan-American EXPOSE
ton, which is to be held in Buffalo, n.
Y. next summer. The skeletons are
beyond doubt several thousand years
old, and the character of the people
who occupied the coast of the gulf at
this period is an interesting subject for
speculation. Whoever they may have
been and whenever they may have liv-
ed, the remains found show beyond a
question that some terrible outbreak
of nature caused the sudden death of
thousands of these ancient people and
their burial in the strata where by

The question whether a workingman

one of our daily papers by a regular
contributor recently, and the statement
was made that Chicago contractor

ingmen ought not to MARI, The reason
given by the contractor for his belief
was that wages were too low for labor
Ing men to support families on. The
writer cited an instance where a young
carpenter secured work during the
summer at 81 a day, but in winter
could get little or nothing to do so that
he earned only about $500 a year, or
less than 81 day, with rent at SIS q
month, $3.50 year; street car fare say
$40 for the year; groceries and clothing
for the family, however small, would
more than consume the remaining 500.
The day laborer, working, say, 300
days in the year, gets perhaps 500
of fare If he has family of five or
more to feed. Let us figure for him.
His bread or flour will cost not less
than $50 for the year; his meat bill, say,
$50, which Is less than 20 cents worth
a day; potatoes and other vegetables
half as much more-a total of $115.
Add $120 for rent, and how does the
poor man clothe himself, not to speak
of wife and children? Verify, it is a
serious question whether labOring men
can afford to marry. 1t is not much
better with office clerks in the city,
statesmen in stores, etc. Few of them
get more than enough for fair living
for themselves, and many can earn
scarcely enough to pay board and
clothing expenses and can not lay up
anything for the future. Such facts
show the folly Of farmers sons and
daughters going to the city to improve
their prospects. At home they are sure
Of food, shelter and clothing Of some
sort. In the great towns their very liv-
ing is precarious. The superiority Of
the farmers calling is strikingly shown
in this, that, however hard the times,
however slack the labor market and
low the wages In all the industries in
the manufacturing or trade centers, on
the farm there is always work to be
done that either presently or remotely
will pay well for the doing. 1t may be
repairing, making improvements, shells
tering the stock or implements, hauling
out and spreading the manure, killing
weeds, trimming the orchard, or any
other of the thousand and one Jobs
about the farm. There is always some
thing waiting for the improving hand
of the farmer who has mind to work .
and his work, if inteligently and faith
fully done. pays every time.

not appear that it was cheaper to get
the knot tied there than elsewhere in

these couples were startled by the news
that sham clergymen have been taking

The Literary Digest translates a

the average decrease being per cent,
since 1891. This is a curious fact, and

conditions in nature that tend to pre-
