appearance of the rudest form of Greek art a mysterious and highly cul- tured civilization, at the early age of 5000 B. C., was in existence. It is now thought that the unknown cradle of Greek civilization has been pointed out by these remarkable art objects.
 Exquisitely carved treasure jars found in the palace strikingly illus trate the bold and artistic creations of this prehistor period. MT. Evans has uncovered a large portion of the palace area. By an extraordinary piece of good fortune the remains of walls began to appear only foot be- low the surface. This dwelling had been. overwhelmed by a great catas- trophe. Everywhere on the hilltop were traces ofa mighty confagration. Burnt beams and charred wooden col umns lay within the rooms and corri- dors. There was here no gradual decay.
 On the floor of one of the magazines were found huge store or treasure jars. One of. these, found in small, separate chamber, which is shown in the illustration, was ne ly five feet in height. Only few of the jars were opened. They proved to be empty The jar was profusely ornamented with decorative designs,an the col ors were almost as brilliant as when first laid down, over 5000 years be- fore. Excavations are still in prog ress in the palace grounds, and addi- tional finds will undoubtedly be brought to light in the near future.

sLA1ms FOR MANGLE ISLAND.
Sovereignty Over Them and Other Small Islands Asserted by
 Nicaragua.

The government of Nicaragua has recently put in claim to sovereignty over several groups of small islands, including the Mangle islands, lying of the Atlantic coast of the Isthmus of Panama. says the Washington Star. The question arose when President Loubet of France recently gave his decision as to the boundary between Costa Rica and Colombia. The deci- sion awarded to Colombia consider able part of the territory in dispute, including the yaiua ble bay of Chiriqui, on the Atlantic side, and also several groups of outlying islands which were in dispute between the two govern ments. When the award was made known Nicaragua came forward with q claim of ownership over the small group of islands. It was answered ln behalf of Colombia that President Loubet had carefully gone over the records establishing ownership, and that these had failed to discl ose any authority on the part of Nicaragua to claim them. The negotiations have not proceeded beyond this point. The islands are rather unimportant except for their strategic location off the easterly entrance to any canal route which may be chosen For this reason the controversy has received the att 4ention of the isthmian canal comm:s- sion, which has not, however, had oc- rasion to take definite action on the subject

MUST CARE FOR THEIR OWN.
Responsible sfor Their ChiI- dren's Support.

The Ohio legislature at its last ses- sion passed law attaching penalty of a term in the penitentiary for par ents who refuse to support their off spring. The first conviction under this law is reported from Columbus
 It appears that miner named Raby was making good wages, but he could not be induced by ithe authorities to support his cnly-child. Some months ago he separated from his wife, and he made fight for the possession of the child and was successful. As he was not prepared to properly provide for the child, it was taken to the chil- dren's home to be cared for. When the child was left there it was the dis tinct understanding that he was to pay a certain stipend for the services. He failed to comply with his contract. and all the urging of the county officers had no effect in inducing him to let loose of his purse strings to pay for the necessaries of life for his child After large number of admonitions he was arrested and the court sen- fenced him to serve one year. Tn April, 1890, the general assembly passed a law attaching a workhouse sentence for cases of that kind, but the law was amended by the last legislature, and the penitentiary was substituted for the Workhouse

HIGHLY IMPoL1TE.
Etiquette Says n Mnn Should Not
 Walk with His Wife at Ate. Inntic City.

Husbands who are versed in the canons of Atlantic City etiquette are careful not to pay too much atten- ton to. their wives at this charmingly unconventional resort by the sea, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 If there's a crowd of women sitting on the porch and your wife is among them, steer clear of your better half and lean over some other woman's s chair and chat with her. The chances are. anyhow, that some other mar ried man has already monopolized your wife.
 If crowd is going out to cafe or pier. or what not ,don't, for pity's sake, walk with your wife. If you do the other persons in the party will nudge each other, say something uncompli- mentary, shrug their shoulders, raise their eyebrows ard pity you for your lack of manners.
 The logic underlying this is thus ex- plained by man:
 Its downright selfish in fellow, don't you know" he said, s'for him to monopolize his wfe's attention down here. She and ne may see each other whenever they wish. but in the social swim the opportunity for other per sons to see her is limited. Those op- portunities should not be lost. They keep the man and woman from stag nating-keep them in touch with other persons ideas. But, first of all reasons, it's selfish for man to stick to his wife in pu5lic-and I'm glad to see that persons are sensible down here, and man and wife are seldom seen together"

MIND AND THE WEATHER.
Effect the Reading of a Book Has Up. on the Physical Frame of
 a Person.

Everyone knows that the imagina. tion has a- great effect upon the body and at times some ludicrous expert. ences are met with. During the pre-. vailing torrid spell man and his wife sat together on shady veran. da reading. The man read an Afri- can story which dwelt upon the suf- fering entailed upon the inhabitants of this land by the heat. Hot sands and the blazing sun were often mem tioned and the scant costume of the natives was given due mention. The woman by strange chance was reading of an arctic expedition She had not picked out this htera- ture purposely because of the con. trast to present conditions it offered She had just come across it in the bookcase at the summer resort and opening it at random was soon among the icebergs and almost lost in snow.
 Isn't it warm?' asked the explor- CT in Africa presently, tugging at his collar.
 'sWhy, no," replied the lady from an ice foe; Git seems to me very pleasant-even cool.'
 The man grunted disbelief and then he took off his coat. Later he retired to his own room and removed his collar and necktie and panted still for breath and finally flung away his tale of the tropics and was soon in the leafy Adirondacks with isThe Aristocrats."
 And the feminine member of this duo insists still that the day was a cool day and not at all oppressive.

RARE ART TREASURES.
sxQuisitely Carved Jars Unearthed in the Ruins of an Ancient
 Palace in Crete.

The recent unearthing by MT. Arthur Evans of the famous palace of King Minos, with it's mysterious 1aby- rinth and chambers, on the ancient site of Knossos, in the island of Crete, has brought to light some wonderful art treasures. King Minos, it will be remembered, was the wise ruler and inspired lawmaker. He is styled the Cretan Moses, who every nine years repaired to the cave of Z w and re- ceived from the God of the fountains the laws for his people.
 The astonishing feature of these finds, says the New York Herald, is the revelation that long before the

 He bore the colors at Bull Run And came unscathed from there; At Malvern Hill and Seven Pines His cheering rent the air; At Gettysburg he fought the men Who rallied under Lee He fought at Fredericksburg and marched With Sherman to the sea. His heart gave back a brave response To stricken Cuba's cry; He helped to storm the hills and heard The Spaniards bullets fly; He saw the proud Castilian sheath His cruel sword, and when The beaten tyrant sailed away; Came marching home again. He fought on many a bloody field Where men by scores were slain, And twice was caught in wrecks and thrice He crossed the stormy mais- And died upon the glorious Fourth Because he longed to know Just why the cannon cracker he Had touched off didn't go. -S B.

NEWSPAPER MANS MISTAKE.
He Sent Vice President Hobart's Card 4o a Senator Instead of
 His Own. s@


 A Baltimore newspaper man once interviewing of public men, says a Washington spondent of the Philadelphia North American. It was when Garret X. Hobart was vice presi- dent, and he called upon that distin- guished New JeHseyan first. Then, with fear and trembling, he went to the residence of senator who was noted for frigidity toward representa- tives of the press. He sent up his card and expected to be sent curt refusal to be seen. What vas his astonish- ment when the laclsey came down. stairs, bowed profoundly and said that Senator So-and-So would be down in just minute, and would he be so good as to make himself at home meanwhile. In less than that time the statesman came down the staircase at pace that made the reporter fear for the safety of his limbs.
 "Ah! MT. Hobart, delighted to see you," he said, as he entered, with his hand outstretched, and before his eyes had become accustomed to.sthe dark ened parlor. Then, of sudden, he drew himself up stifiy, fumbled in his waistcoat, pulled out the card that had been sent to him, and demanded: "What do you mean by. this imposi- tion, sir?" Like lightning it flashed on the newspaper man what had hap 2ened. He had, while in the vice pres ident's room, inadvertently picked up one of Mir. Hobart's cards and had used it by mistake for one of his own. His apologies were ample, but the senator could not be induced to for give that thrilling dash down the slip pery staircase simply to accommod date a mere scribbler- 7-

 FROM BURNING OIL.
Boy Terribly Injured by overturning of Kerosene Lamp-May Be Taken to Hospital-No More Open Barber Shops on Sunday.

 A sad accident occurred here Sattur- day in which 5-year-old Willie Gero Of Spring street was burned by the over turning of q kerosene lamp. and is so severely injured that but slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. It is said that death will occur at any mo- ment. Last Saturday evening the youngster was playing around the table upon which a large lamp was resting and in some manner the cloth was pulled, upsetting the lamp and spilling the blazing oil over his clothes. His clothes took fire immediately and the boy ran screaming about the house. His cries were heard by Felix Lapointe, relative from New Haven, who was visiting at the boys home, and being near he rushed to the boys assistance. By this time the young ster's body was terribly burned and the flames were soon eXtinguished and medical aid summoned. Dr Ky der. a local physician, was called and rendered every aid in his power, but it is doubtful if the lad will ever re- cover. He is unconscious and in con- vulsions part of the time. He will probably be removed to the Water bury hospital for treatment. Gero is bright, active little fellow, quite pop ular with his playmates.
 Waterville working people who. have been in the habit of getting shaved Sundays will feel quite at loss when the next Sabbath day comes. A mem Der of the barber's union from Water bury was in town yesterday and se- cured the signatures of all the local knights of the razor to shut up shops Sunday. Previous to this the shops were open every Sunday morning un- til noon. It was quite an accommoda- ton to many people here who did not nave the time Saturday nights 10 have their tonsorial work attended to.
