stray animal that may come to them.
IN France this Is a dangerous thing 10

Ind adopted the sheep as his own
stoutly refused to comply with this re-
quest. Then trouble ensued. The
owner of the lost sheep was a tena-
ciogs and persevering man, and he
went to law over the matter. He
fought the matter out in tlwee. differ
emit law courts and eventually won his
rase. Heygot his sheep back and the
other farmer had to>pay bin Of costs
amounting to $S5oo.-The Taller.

exploration which has been going on
in the Roman Forum two ancient
toubs Of the prehistoric period were
unearthed Lately two more of prob

epoch being the eighth century before
the founding of the city. One of these
tombs contained what was probably
the remains of child. In both of them
