FRANCES BURIED CITY.
Brought to Light by the Discovery
Of Two Ancient Tombs Near
.+a Orleans. ia

Interesting ruins which point to
the existence of 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 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 a 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. It
is probable that these tombs are not
the only relics in this place, and that
well-condudcted search would re-
veal an entire cemetery, whose ex-
tent would give an idea of the impor-
lance of the buried city.

WEAKNESS OF WEALTH.
"0odless AagniAcence and SolAsk
90 PH0digahty OF Some nioh
New Yorkeuw.

The very rich men of the world are
growing exceedingly tired Of the vast
wealth accumulated. In New York
scores and hundreds of men to-day are
paying anywhere from $4,000 to $16,-
900 q month rent for suites of rooms.
not homes which they have built for
their families, but simply apartments
which they have rented for awhile,
says a writer in Homilitic Review. The
goddess magnificence, the selfish prodi-
gality, the overwhelming ostentation
of the wealth of New York in certain
circles cannot be described; but it is
all an indication of the fact that the
climax has well-nigh been reached in
the display of what wealth can get.
The world is waiting now to knw
what wealth can give. It is the ne
mesis of vast wealth that it brings
its own retribution, and that retribu-
ton IL the WEAKNESS of being unable
to. find happiness in merely having
things. :

CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.
Industrial and Commercial Growth
OF AsAa's Greatest Country 10
an AssueoA T1ang,

Europeans and Americans who have
lived long in China are quite unani-
nous in the opinion that the greatest
country Of Asia, taking account OF
area, population and natural resources,
is making steady progress industrial.
~ and commercially. and the general
belief is that more rapid gains are as
sured> for the next few years. Stats
tics of exports and imports tell the
same story. So does the development
of railways and telegraph lines: The
worldwide Importance of this progress
is not easily exaggerated. It promises
to insure the existence of the Chinese
empire as an immense independent
state, for'it lessons the force of such
pretexts as might have been discovered
or invented for dividing or selling the
country. It also makes the interna'
tional Importance of China so evident
and so great that no one European
power is likely to find the way open for
the absorption of so rich an empire
while the more progressive the Chi.
nese become the less chance there will
be for an agreement between the lead.
ing nations of the west as to the terms
of possible partitioning of the mid.
die kingdom.

A BLIND GIRLS POWER.
She Detects Absenc OF Flower from
Dining Room the Moment
49,; She ENTERS. 80

There is a wealthy young woman
living in Philadelphia, says the Times,
who has the misfortune to be blind.
When travelling as a young girl she
contracted Roman fever in Italy and
lost her sight. She is the only living
member of her immediate family now,
and occupies a handsome house in the
residence part of the city. She has a
companion who seldom leaves her, but
the ability she shows for conducting
her own affairs in spite of her misfor-
tune is wonderful. Her remaining
senses are marvelously acute, and it
seems to people who are not well &C.
quainted with her almost uncanny her

not had the good fortune TO cross
the Atlantic Is wont to picture his
! American cousin wearing q goatee
and q victim to the constant chewing
of tobacco and liberal expectoration.
On arriving in New York he i

metropolis would soon be rid of
most understandable and filthy habit
