THE WORLDS WOES.

This worlds an endless vale of woes
Where man but wakes to sigh:
Contentment never yet was found
Below the arching sky.
The thin man mourns because the flesh
Is thin upon his bones;
The lady with the double chin
Looks in her glass and groans.
The childless man would give his all
To have little one;
The man with seven boys would be
O'erjoyed if he had none.

Burger and Prof. Bacon, instructor in

could interfere twenty-five students
were piled up in a football heap on the
stage in a rough-and- tumble tussie. A
number received severe bruises.
Willis clothing was almost completely

question of Transportation Worry

Washington, May &c. Secretary
Root and Col. Edwards chief of the
insular bureau Of the war department,
are considering plans for transporting
teachers to the Philippines. In view of
the fact that the army transports have
comparatively few state ICONS. and
they are assigned to officers. it is man.
ifest that there will be no adequate
facilities for carrying 1000 teachers to
Manila on these vessels under present
arrangements. Col. Edwards has pro-
posed to Secretary Root that one of the
transports be set aside for the teach.
ers and fitted up with state rooms for
their accommodation. The Philippine
commission has urged the secretary of
war to send 1000 teachers from this
country Mt the earliest possible. date,
as it is considered advisable TO have
them there before the next school year
begins The insular bureau has been
swamped with application from school
teachers who wish to go to the Philip
pines.

While crew of stone laborers were
working an excavation through the
Forman cliff, two miles east of New
port, R. L., for the bed of the Tennessee
and North Carolina railroad, they found
q human female skeleton 10 inches in
height, in a perfect state Of preserva-
ton. The only anomaly was the teeth,
which were 200 in number and had no
seekers, but were developed from and
grew upon the Jaw bone with no ad-
5acent valvular process. The bones
were Theoretically sealed and sent to
the Smithsonian Institution. The skel-
eton was found in solid rock ten feet
from the face and eight feet from the
top Of cliff, in a cavity two feet by Is
inches. About the cavity was no
opening crevice or aperture for the
skeleton to enter since the formation
Of the cliff, more than 1000 years ago.
