EIGHT CITIES SUPERPOSEL
Gezer Built on Homes of Cave DWELL
ers as Old as, $500 B. G.

Excavations of the ancient city of
Gezer, mentioned in early sacred and
profane history, carried on by mem
bers of the Palestine Exploration
Fund for the last three years have
developed numerous finds" accord
ing to advices from Jerusalem pub
lished in the number of the Biblical
World recently issued from the Uni
versity of Chicago press.
Eight cities have been found, su-
perimposed upon each other, on the
side of the old defense to the western
road to Jerusalem from the noun
tains of Judah. The culture, his
tory, religion and customs from as
Tar back US $500 B. c. have been
revealed by architecture, jugs, weap-
ons, masonry, etc.
DR.. e. w. G.. Masterman, mem
Der of the eXcavating party, writes
as follows:
THE earliest inhabitants lived in
caves and made all their weapons
and instruments of flint. In the mid
die period bronze is the only metal
known, while at time roughly syn
chronous with the coming of Israel,
iron appears and gradually replaces
bronze.
Work of eXcavating is temporarily
suspended, as the three years Turk
ish firman has expired. 1t is hoped
to get new firman, when the re-
searches again will be resumed"

A Few First Aid Hints.

The following first aid advice was
given at a meeting of railway sur
geons:
Don't put your finger on an open
wound; don't put a quid of tobacco
on a wound, no matter how small it
may be; don't use cobwebs or hor-
nets nest to stop bleeding; don't dose
the patient with whisky, brandy, rum
or gin; don't bind or cover a wound
with handkerchief or rag (if you
cannot get first aid packet use clean
old muslin that has been dipped in
boiling water for a few minutes)
don't sit patient up when he is very
pale or weak; don't wash wound
and don't remove blood clots."
These hints are meant for public
instruction for those of the laity who
may have occasion to extend aid In
case of accident.

Dan laughed, for he liked good 70
turn, whether in word or h!ow.
Erect and with unmoved features
he felt the fatal loop tighten around
his throat. Then his Indifference
vanished, and the spectators saw a
look of sharp pain on his face. A
moment later came a clatter of hoofs,
and jimmy, mounted on the gam
bler's horse, dashed up. Brown and
Lupas both sprang forward.
What are you doing here, Jinny?"
asked her stepfather. This is no
place for girl"
I've come to say good-by," she re-
piled, calmly enough. though her
heart was beating furiously Then,
turning to Lupas, she added, You
need not grudge him that, at least" :"
The tone and look which accom-
panied the words were a delightful
revelation to the astonished man, and
with u glance of triumph at his un-
| fortunate rival, he stepped back
He was rewarded with bewilder-
ing smile of gratitude. as jimmy, lead
ing her mount, stepped up to where
the culprit was standing.
Dan" she whispered, I'm going
to cut the rope and then you must
jump for Deuce and co.
Ie looked up and she read refusal
in his eyes. He had seen her smile
at Lupas But he did not speak.
Motif I-come with you, Dan?"
she questioned. softly.
For moment he could not believe
his ears. but then she lifted her eyes
to his in one single flash, and he
knew the truth; he had won. The
touch of her arms round his neck and
her warm breath on his cheek re-
called him
But they'll shoot, and may hit
you," he whispered.
But his expostulation came too
late. A sharp click told that Jinny's
hands had not encircled him useless
ly, and the rope was severed At the
same time she released him and
stepped back pace. Life was very
sweet now. and Dan did not hesitate.
Two bounds and he was astride his
horse, and a moment later his strong
arms had lifted jimmy up in front of
him. The spectators, paralyzed by
the unexpectedness of the event, only
recovered their senses when the horse
bearing his double burden with the
utmost ease-was a dozen yards
away.
Then Lupas, with wild yell of an
ger as he realized how he had been
tricked, sprang after them, only to
stumble headlong with bullet in his
brain. 1t was his friend Brown who
had fired the shot in an attempt, as
he afterward explained, to cripple the
fugitive's mount. But as Brown was
a notoriously neat shot, and the dead
man was hardly in the line of fire,
there were some who doubted.
Late in the afternoon the minister
of small but lively mining camp
some thirty miles from Deep Hollow
earned sum equal to half his yearly
income by the performance of SIM
pie ceremony, and Dan Bevis, having
escaped from one moose, very cheer
fully surrendered himself to another.
AS he himself put it, "Matrimony was
his strong suit, and he was going his
pile on it."-London Paper.

importance of Advertising,

A duck which had faithfully stuck
to business during the summer and
laid several dozen large, fawn-colored
eggs, complained that she was not
appreciated. "See that hen over
there?" said the duck; "she has not
laid so many eggs as ! have, nor SO
big. but she has books written about
her and verses composed in her
honor, while nobody says word
about me-" Tho trouble with you
is said wise Buff Leghorn cock
that was standing near, that you do
not tell the public what you have
done, You lay an egg aud waddle off
without letting anybody in the neigh
borhood know II. If you want to
cut any ice in this community you
must learn to advertise. "-Troy

But don't get exeited-keep perfectly COOL
For people will talk.
And then if You show the least boldness

and vain,
But keep straight ahead-don't stop to cx-

Lord Kelvin has shown, that while
a moderately high voltage of electric
ity is fatal to life. an exceedingly high
voltage is harmless.
Birds differ very much in the
heights to which they commonly as
cend. The condor, the largest of all
vultures and of all flying birds, has
been observed soaring over $4,000
feet, or about five miles and a half
above the level of the sea.
There is now hardly a town or even
village in the district of Bilboa, es-
pecially when situated in the vicinity
of running water, where electric kght
is not used. A great use has heen
made during the year of electric mo-
tors for small industries and work
shops, these replacing in many cases
small steam engines. As far as Bill
bao is concerned. some further 1000
horsepower was introduced from
Guipuzcoa, while 1906 will see some
5000 horsepower more employed.
A naturalist relates that the ap-
pearance of perch, Dream and cray
fish in newly cut dams near the Mac
quarie River, in New South Wales,
was at first perplexing mystery, the
fishes even being noticed after the
first rains in the dams and for some
years spontaneous generation was re-

tion. Then came a simple and credi-

Our much neglected sense of smell
can be put to important uses. When
well developed it may serve in med
ical diagnosis, and some English ply
sicians have pointed out lately that
diabetes, enteric fever, acute rheuma-
tism, plague, abdominal fistula, un-
dressed cancers, erysipelas in some
cases, gangrene of ths lung, pyaemia,
septic mouth, bleeding hemorrhoids
and undressed varicose ulcers are
among the disorders that emit charac-
teristic odors, and that can be recog-
nized by smell alone. Care is neces-
sary, however, as the physician, after
influenza or the taking of alcohol
himself, may fancy his own odor to

Records show great risk to workers
in caissons at pressures of four at
mospheres, and by divers at depths of
100 to $50 feet, and the British Ad-
miralty has fixed the limit for divers
at 120 feet The most daring pearl
and sponge fishers reach las feet, ac-
cidents being frequent. Lambert,
who brought 100000 from a depth
of 160 feet, remained below twenty
minutes each trip, taking an equal
time in ascending, but at last he was
permanently injured by too long a
stay below The deepest recorded
dive is 204 feet, but the diver died
from too rapid ascent. Two recent
! British investigators of the effects of
high pressure have shut each other
into a steel cylinder of a capacity Of
forty-two feet, with a pump raising
the pressure to seven atmospheres in
forty minutes. In this pressure they
suffered no harm when decomposition
was gradual and circulation was aided
by movements of the body. The con-
clusion is confirmed that fatal results
to divers are due to the rapid decom-
preston.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

If threadbare your dress and old-fashioncd
your hat
Some one will surely take notice of that,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay
your way;
But don't get excited whatever they say
For people will talk.
If your dress is in fashion don't think to
escape,
For they criticise them in q different
shape
You're ahead of your means or yoar
tailor's unpaid
But mind your own business, there's
naught to be made
For people viii talk.
Now the best way to do is to do as you
please,
For your mind, if you have one, will then
be at case.
Of course you will meet with all sorts OF
abuse;
But don't think to stop them--it's not any
Use
For people will talk.

our coffee, in what way is it protec-
ted against the competition OF the

given us2 Not the slightest.
In vain have been our complaints,
our oft repeated protests against the
indefensible conduct of those who
are responsible for the existence OF
such an abnormal and distressing
state Of things, have been utterly
ignored. In vain have been our obj
ections to the inconsiderate exploit
alton of which we have been the
victims, and which has brought us to
the present crisis; useless have been
our denunciations against the SO call
ed free trade; unheeded has been
our voice raised against the intolcr-
liable and outrageous injustice Of
compelling us TO fully protect all
American products, while we are
left without the slightest protection
for the most important of our products
being denied it even for the one
which needs it most, because it rep
resents two thirds Of the wealth of
the Island.
Otr protests and Our criticisms.
our prayers and Our pfeadings to be
given what is our simple right, have
been utterly without effect, every
thing has been useless to bring the
unheard Of ex ploitatlon to an end.
At first, nobody gave any indica-
tons of even having heard our COM
plants and protests later they were
listened to; it even appeared as if
there were a possibility of justice
being done us; the American news
papers occasionally said something
in our favor, though at other times
they considered our legitimate as
ptrations excessive.
We asked for nothing more than
was Just; We requested only what it
was easy and proper to accord, it was
a fair exchange. simple reciprocity,
an honorable bargain which we pro
posed.
But in spite OF the demands made
and repeated with frmness and
energy, everything remained as be-
fore. We continued giving protection
to American products. helping the
manufacturers and business men of
the mother country to acquire addi-
tional wealth, and these, together
with the government, showed their
gratitude and appreciation by ignor
ing us completely and displaying
the most notorious 1nfairness.

The last mail from the United
States brings the information that
the agent in New York. looking
after the interests of Porto Rican
coffee, is engaged in investigating
the details of the fraud, whose disc
overy has aroused such vigorous
protests in this Island.
The greater part of the details OF
that nefarious business which was
perpetra ted at the expense of the
credit Of Porto Rican coffee, is alrc-
for it are also known.
What will be the result, seeing
that Mr.. Truxton is Cognizant Of all
this, now that he knows the names Of
the persons implicated and the det-
ails-even the most insignihcant-o of
the outrageous affair
Will the shippers who. according
to their statements were imposed on
in the marking Of the sacks, be pun
ished, or will it be the clerk who
made the false declaration to the
customs authorities7
We are in the dark as to what will
be the outcome Of the investigation
made OF these things by our COM
mercial agent.
Is it not quite likely that the result
will be the same As IN the matter of
the meat scandals in New York and
Chicago?
We very much fear that the sha-
meful acts will be repeated.
And then the activity Of Mr.. Trux-
ton, the only service which he has
rendered III our behalf, will be abor-
tive, his efforts will be doomed to
failure and things will continue with
impunity, stimulating the sordid and
illegitimate ambitions OF those WHO
desire TO second the devastating ef-
fects Of the present tariff our most
pronounced enemy and the Influence
most hostile TO 0ur prosperity.
Who IN the mother country has not
conspired against our interests9
The most contemplate are those
who, with callous indifference and
Disregard for orr misfortune and
ruin, traffic with the credit and good
name of our coffee.
Such people are the most contemp-
tib1e, because they seek 10 bring into
discredit and disparage the most
highly priced Of our products.
Aside from all this, there are many
merchants and manufacturers in the
United States who profit at our ex-
pense, by the workings and operation
OF tariff which we have denounced
innumerable times, gaining through
it immense advantages and offe-
ring us no compensation IN exchange.
There exists in the mother coun-
try a sinistre conspiracy against our
interests.
Favored b. a larcical free trade
which we have 50 often characterized
as inmoral-it has been easy to ex-
plot rs ia a manner truly iniquitous
and alarming.
