order is that when a postmaster has $5(

FAKE EVIDENCE.

For many years a controversy has
been carried on over the alleged dis.
coyery OF q human skull said TO have
been dug ont Of the bottom Of a deep
shaft In a mine in CaIayeras county
California. The Uranium was sent to
Harvard and after careful nyestiga'
ton by experts, pronounced genuine.
The fact seemed 70 many to be an
evidence Of the almost immeasurably
high age OF the human race upon this
earth, and as such Il was welcomed by
some scientists. although others refused
TO accept It as proof one way or
another.
The true story Of the alleged find Is
at last made known by an Episcopal
ian clergyman Of Los Angeles, Cal. Mr..
w. II, Dyer. According to him, some
practical jokers at Angeles camp CON
ceiyed the idea Of burylng the skull
where II was found He was mission
airy there at the time lie says
storekeeper named Scribner was the
active agent In carrying II out. Serb.
ner got an old Indian skull, went TO
the bottom of the shaft while the min.
ers were away, and buried the skull
deep in the auriferous gravel He told
Dyer and the other j0kers what he
had done, and they awaited develop
ments. Miner Mathison dug up the
skull and brought It to storekeeper
Scribner as a genuine find Scrbner
passed the skull over to Missionary
Dyer, who showed II to DR.. Jones. The
doctor was impressed with the sclen-
tldc importance Of the find and ex-
pressed the skull TO Prof Whitney at
Harvard The United States geological
survey took w the question seriously
and the matter became widely dis
cussed.
Some people are too anxious TO find
evidences TO prove that man must
have inhabited the earth for ages They
have an idea that such proofs would
impeach the testimony Of the hlstori
cal books Of the Old Testament on that
point, The fact is. however thaa so far
nothing has been discovered that con.
tradicts the general facts there set
forth. Research may have proved that
the various systems Of chronology. in
genuously constructed by Archbishop
Usher or others, may need correction,
but that does not affect the statements
made by the inspired authors Science
may help theologians to a better under

EDUCATION AND POLITICS.

That which the Richmond News fear

what apprehenslve that the negroes Of
Virginia are acquiring the education
that will ft them to exercise the elect
i've franchise with more facility than
the whites like. AT the present rate, in
ten years the negroes will surpass the
whites IN the number Of educated
voters that win so to the polls. on
this subject, II says
In the matter Of learning to read
and write the negroes are fast over
hauling us, The next ten years Will
wipe out any gain an educational quail

figures say so. The negroes have Vot-

There has been some speculation as
to the cause of the excessive heat in
which so many Of the inhabitants Of
the earth have been sweltering this
summer. Garrett Z, seryiss. writing In
the New York journal, discusses that
question and takes the view that the
sun is variable star, and that just
now for some reason or other he is
sending forth blasts Of heat. Mr.. Ser
yiss says:

source OF terrible heat ~ directly IN

widespread and long-contlnued nature

talns no store OF heat capable Of ac-
counting for the outbufst, and the sug-
gosted explanation that we are passing

commonly high temperature prevails Is
inFalldated, II for no other reason, by
the fact that similar periods of excess

times within tho limits Of recorded his

There is a painful dispute on in the
house Of the Paines, Thus Mr., Robert
Treat Paine Of New York recently
formulated to Nh. Robert Treat Paine
OF Boston a letter inclosing a check
which had been sent TO the New York
Mr.. Paine by mistake. He received
this somewhat astonishing reply from
the Mr.. Paine of Boston: your letter

express my sincere regret that you

peculiar epistle writes himself down IN

COLLEGE EDUCATION.

The value Of college education Is a
perennial subject Of discussion. one
destined never to be settled The
man who has made n great business
success In life Is very apt TO under
value Il while the college graduate IS
quite liable TO over value it, The mo-
ment young man conceiyes the
idea that a college education Is an end
OF itself and not a means to an end
and II he adheres to the idea. he is
turning into a road that leads to fail-
ure. Every education Is practical

life OF him who has received

man who intends to devote his life
to the study and teaching Of Latin
and Greek classical education is as

education should tend to make its re-
cipient better prepared to fight the bat

choices there are necessarily many lines
OF education
Special attention has recently been
drawn to the subject through some re-
marks by Andrew Carnegie and Mr.

uate has not the slightest chance Of
success as against the boy who swept

ago told Of being at meeting OF mil
lonares where only one was a college
bred man. All the boys who have
swept Offices have not become Cafne-
gies BY long way. But this view OF
the matter makes material success the

The death OF the Dowager Empress
Frederick was not unexpected. For sew
eral years It has been known that she
was practically an invalid and great
sufferer. Her mother the late queen
Victoria, had been alarmed about her
daughters health for long time be-
fore her own demise, and many thought
the daughter would preceGe the mother
to the grave The death, so soon AFTER
ascending the throne, Of her husband
Emperor Frederick, saddened and
darkened her life. Soon after her sons
Emperor william, mounted the throne
her life was for a long time anything
but pleasant for she was more or less
under surveillance, and her life might
almost have been termed one OF semi
imprisonment. The sons treatment OF
the mother was, for a while. almost
cavalier. II was due no doubt TO the IN
fluence OF the ti-English party In the
German court, but then Bismarck was
very much opposed to the new empress
She was her mothers fayorlte child and
she shared IN a measure the great es-
TEEN and consideration in which Queen
Victoria was held. In later years she
is said 70 have exercised considerable
influence over her imperial son and to
have been the cause Of the modification
Of his, at one time, strongly anti-Eng-
Iish sentiments.
