FRANCES BURIED CITY.
brought to Light by the Discover
of Two Ancient TOmbs Near
Orleans.

Interesting ruins which point to
the existence of a buried city have
been found in the woods of Charbon-
nierre, near the chateau of that
name, some miles distant from Or
leans. Two tombs composed of mon.
olith stones, in one of which the re.
mains of skeleton were reposing
have been found under ancient oaks.
They were at a depth of 80 cent?
meters below the soil. 1t is esti-
mated from the nature of the stones,
their dimensions and form, that the
tombs date from the sixth, seventh
or eighth century.
According to local tradition on
this site, which was formerly crossed
by n great Roman way, many CEN
turtles ago an important city stood,
of which the ruins still exist, though
crowded and crushed under the earth
long ago by wood cutters and exca-
vators.
This tradition attributes to this
buried city the name of Sergy. 1t
is probable that these tombs are not
the only relics in this place, and that
a well-condudcted search would re-
veal an entire cemetery, whose ex-
tent would give an idea of the impor-
lance of the buried city.

OPERATING MARIONETTES.
Roma rknbIe Ingenuity and SKIN Dis
played by One Man In the
Business.

"The ingenuity Of some of the ham
dlers of marionettes," said show
man, lis incredible. ! know a man who
conducts a marionette theater, where
in an orchestra of eight pieces plays
under marionette leadership while III
the boxes a dozen marionette specta-
tors laugh and applaud, and on the
stage a marionette drama briskly en-
acts itself.
"rhe conductor of all this stands, ex-
posed to the waist, at the back OF the
stage, and apparently he is motionless.
though really each finger of both
hands and the majority of the toes of
both feet are working with uneXampled
rapidity. For each marionette is con-
nected by n string with toe or
finger of the operator. and this string
sometimes has as many as ten or fiji
teen branches, joined to the manikin's
face, body, arms, legs, etc, so that it
NAV dance, smile, wave its arms and do
a number of other lifelilte things. One
of these figures, indeed, is connected by
80 strings to the operator.
at is bewildering to think of the
number Of strings there must be alto
gether." concluded the Snowman, ac-
cording TO ahe Philadelphia Record,
"and really it is impossible to conceive
Of thc dexterity and the thought re-
quired in the artistic manipulation of
n band of mariOnettcs."

The Omaha schoolmarm who. with a
little aid from the ianitor, painstaking-
ly and conscientiously whaled every
one of her $50 pupils, deserves monu-
ment and a public testimonial. 1t is
refreshing indication that the obso-
descent and supremely true Solomonic
maxim respecting the rod and the
child has not entirely fallen into disuse
in this country, exclailns the Chicago
Chronicle. It's revival would do more
good than all the fnespun systems Of
pedagogics that ever were evolved by
the masters and mistresses of the
science.

Mr. Robert Anderson, Of London, has
lately aatonishcd his readers by
stating that in the 100000 inhabi-
taHts of London there are annually
on the average only about IS muir

NAN of one of our smaller American
cities recently stated that in his city

therefore, that these people would
not become far more criminal when

Rosalyn Verian, an American sculp-
