1t is believed that much of the petit

carried on by boys. Several, it will be
remembered, have recently been con-
victed. Last night youth entered the
residence of Mr.. George a. Rowland,
on south Fairfax street, and was about
to make off with an umbrella when he
was surprised and fled. Another boy
attempted to enter a house in the same
neighborhood, but was frightened OIL.

Selling Lizards and Frogs.

A young woman appeared in this city
Yesterday carrying a basket which con-
tanned lizards and frogs which she was
offering for sale. She visited some 81
looms where she disposed of specimens OF

a strange place in which to sell reptiles,
but, strange to say, lizards were pur-
chased by customers who attached string
to them. They afforded consider

trade of their fathers. They are up
early and spend the working hours in

such hard task, yet the work requires

Hardness.

Happiness, Oh, how we want it. There
is not man, woman or child that is not
seeking for it, and asking the question
Where can it be found:' In the pur-
suit OF happiness men are running hithcr
and thither indulging in every form OF
amusement and more often OF vice, to
satisfy the cravings for it.
True, happiness is not 10 be found among
the fleeing things OF earth. for God never
put it into them, and nothing is OF more
value than He intended. The will OF God
is the only thing in the universe. Earth,
air, and water alike are controlled by it..
Every law of body mind. and spirit is but
an expression OF that will. All creation
but man obeys that will, which causes the
only discordant note in creation. Hence,
ont of harmony with the Divine will causes
the only unhappiness, and makes man the
only unhappy creature. God wants all of
US TO be happy to enjoy this beautiful old
earth made for His creatures. And the
only way to do it is to put yourself in har-
mony with that will. Then will come the
peace and JOY that passeth all understand
ing to your heart and mind, and the earth
will seem fairer than ever before. This Is
no phantasma, but reality attested to In
every Generation.-W. III. Morehouse. :,

Ancient Human Remains.

Human remains recently unearthed
at Girga, in Egypt. consist of contin-
uous series extending backward over
at least 5000 years. The bodies are
so well preserved, owing to the dry.
ness of the atmosphere in the region
and to the perfection of interment,
that not only can the hair. the nails.
the ligaments, be made out, but also
the muscles and the nerves. In al
most every case the brain also is pre-
served, and the climax has been
reached in two cases where the eyes
with the lens in good condition are
present There are now unearthed a
series of later prehistoric graves rang
ing throughout the first fifteen dynas-
ties, others of the eighteenth and yet
others of the Ptolemaic and early and
recent Coptic periods.
