Ages of Stone and of Bronze,

The transition from the stone age to
the bronze age can be read in the dis
closures of the lake dwellers Of Swift
Zerland. This wonderful people lived
through the stone age and for long
ages continued on until they Tapped
over into the bronze age Some Of their
settlement; disclose only stone imple-
ments, while ,others of later date
show the bronze chisel. the bronze
winged hatchet, the bronze knife, the
heXagonal hammer, the tanged knife Of
ornamental design, the socket knife
and the bronze sickle. They show also
the bronze fishhook, barbed and in
exact similitude of our present device.
The ornamental hatpin as now used,
together with other articles Of utility
and ornamentation, is plentiful. The
stone mold for casting the copper or
bronze hatchet is of exceedingly ancient
date. but probably the use of sand was
far more common, and hence we have
fewer traces OF that method.

THOUGHTLESS WIT,

Wit that stings is akin to crime:
To hold up another to ridicule is not
witty, but vulgar.
To laugh ut anothew or to cause an
other to be laughed at is common
The merry laugh and the joke so
round, but somewhere there is an ache.
There is no pest like him, this man
whose thoughtless wit starts the laugh.
The man that makes others laugh at
some one else's expense is always caus.
ing suffering.
To start laugh is tue ambition OF
some men. The how or the where, the
why or the effect is never considered.
Wit is joy forever so long as it does
not base its success upon the misfor-
tunes. the peculiarities, tue weaknesses
of men.
When g. wit has to depend upon 9TH
ers' pecuiarities for his subject matter
It is time for him to close the wit

LOST BANK BOOKS.
The Way DepositOrs Are Protected
and Made More Careful.

IF we don't have at least five pei
sons every day come in here to Civ
notice of their lost bank book we thinl
city banks recently.
"As soon as book is reported lost T:
check is made against it in the bank
and the loser is requested to advertise
the loss. For from fortnight to thirt,
days ensuing no money can be with
drawn OH that account, unless the bool
shall be found. If not found the de
positor must apply for new book
Generally an affidavit must first b.
made that the loser cannot find tht
book and that it has not been trans
ferrcd or assigned
''All this is scarcely necessary, bu
it makes u bank absolutely safe in re
spect to that deposit, and it tic
depositor to enough trouble to max:
him or her careful thereafter Every
thing having been performed as out
lined, the depOsitOr may get a new
book, which means opening new ac
count, as accounts arenevcr duplicated
"In my experience Of many years
do not recall a case where finders have
presented books in hopes Of withdraw
ing money. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for person not the owner of
the book to withdraw cent on the
account. At the time Of the original
deposit the depositor. before getting a
book has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositor's y
identity and to protect the depositor.
The depOsitor must also leave an auto
graph on the bank register. Whenever
money is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order. This is an ef-
fectual test. Each book is numbered
and bears the depositors name.
I'VE have been asked IL depositors
would not he better protected il banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered it. We can see no
advantage in that. The plan would not
defeat the purposes of a thief, for one
who would steal bank book would
know the name of the owner, and the
withdrawal OF deposits is so we'll
guarded that even with the owners
name Il finder could not get money
from the bank
There are probably from 1000 to
1000 books lost every year, of which
400 10 800 eventually turn up. That
means from onc-third to tWo-1ifths of
per cent of the whole number of
books out disappear. and one-thirl Of
that number get back to the owners.
Where the rest go is Il puzzle not to be
solved. .'-t thicago Tribune.

Macedonian Pea.a nts.

dirty rags, and they kiss me on both
cheeks. One poor old lady told me,

mourning the death of her son for
eight years to such an extent that dur

AFGHAN FEUDS.
Towers Of Refuge From Which the
Warfare Il Conducted.

Towers Of Refuge From Which the
Warfare Il Conducted.
In Afghanistan the people are good
haters. The blood feud exists in all
Afghan tribes. When murder &C.
ours the avenger does not limit his re-
prisal to the murderer, hut kills any
relative that comes handy. This, In
turn, calls for counter attack, and irH
time matters become Sc complicated
that whole families are wiped out.
When the tribe is called upon to meet
a common enemy the heads of the
families who have had u quarrel bury
two stones side by side in the presence
of the 1nollah as, symbolic Of the feud
being put out of sight during the pub
lie danger. When affairs, revert to
their normal state the stones are SOL
EMMY disinterred; and the two parties
are free to go OBJ shooting at each other
again.
Every Afghan yillager Of moderate
means owns tower of refuge standing
lat the corner Of his courtyard. These
towers, made OF stone and mud, are
perfectly solid nor the lower twenty
feet or so, the top being surrounded by
"a loophole wall and covered over to
make it habitabla: The base Is protect
ed by gallery, and the only means Of
ascent is by a rope and a hole just
large enough fer one NAM to crawl
through. Whenever man has made
things too hot for himself he takes
refuge in his tower, and By the un-
written law OF the country he can
never be starved out so long as food
and water are. brought to him by a
woman.
A traveller in Afghanistan tells of
seeing one tower of refuge whose occu-
pant had not stirred outside for ten
years. His only amusement was TAX
ing shots at the occupant of another
tower which were duly returned. In
the meantime their wives, visited each
other and gossiped and Were on terms,

Lord M.c.ul.y ON Sunday Rest.

Speaking on 1.-The ten hours bill,"
Lord Macaulay said: 1--WE are not poor
er, but richer, because we have through
many ages rested from our labor one
day in seven. That day is not lost.
While industry is suspended, while the
plow lies in the furrow, while the ex-
change is silent, while no smoke as
cends from the factory, process is
going on quite as important to the
wealth of nations as any process which
is performed on more busy days. Man,
the machine of machines-the machine
compared with which all the contriv-
ances of the Watts and Arkwrights
are worthless-is repairing and wind
ing up, so that he returns to his la
bors on the Monday with clearer intel
lect, with livelier spirits, with renewed
corporal vigor."

1--WE may think there is a great deal

CHAN observes, but in at least one re-
spect the colloquial tongue of England
surpasses the wealth of terms we pos.
sess in this regard, and that is the
slang relating to money. The American
uses astonishingly few slang words in
speaking Of pieces of money, perhaps
because he has greater respect for it.
A five cent piece is usually referred to
as nickel, but this Is practically the
only slang term applied to any of our
money in general use. A dime is Off

amounts are kicked aside and colo.
quial terms substituted for them.
"At a race track IL a. bettor says he

Birds, NeKta.

In Scotland naturalist has found a
golden eagles nest that contained a
rubber ring. carried thither by the
birds as an adornment An observer in
California has reported that a pair Of
golden eagles there decorated their nest
with sacks. "When the kite builds

alluding to the robberies committed by
those birds from the hedges where
linen was put to dry. The late Mr..
Booth described kind of bower made
by some aesthetic eagles in Scotland.
