Found Treasure In a Tree.

A singular case of treasure trove
is reported from the Belgian village of
Saint Omer-Capelle, where some boys
climbed an old willow tree to rob a
birds nest found in a hole high up In
the trunk an old leather bag.
On opening this they found It to
contain what seemed to be bright yel.
low counters and pieces of paper, bear.
ing writing which they did not under.
stand. So they made playthings Of
the lot. and gave some away, without
however. anything being damaged.
AS soon as the find reached the ears
of the parents they naturally guessed
the truth. Some among them, being
honestly disposed, gave information to
the Marie, which after some trouble
resulted in the whole contents of the
bag being got together again. They
were old notes and gold representing
10000 francs.

THE TRAGEDIES OF PARIS.
Record Of the seamy Side Of the Gay
French Capital.

From 1000 to 1900 bodies are re-
ceived in the morgue in Paris every
year. These represent suicides and
murders. and not the deaths that oc-
cur in the ordinary course OF events.
And of these self-slaughterers nearly
half are drownings, which means that
every day at least two persons jump
into the Seine; two poor wretches
who have failed to find life worth liv-
Ing. In the months of October and
November suicides by drowning in
Paris are double what they are the
remainder of the year. The prospect
Of having to suffer the hardships of
another winter. begging about in the
cold and sleeping out in the snow, is
too much for many a fate-cursed wan.
derer. An interesting fact revealed
by the suicide statistics of Paris is
that women show decided dislike to
drowning as a means of violent death
Four times as many men as women
are fished out of the Seine. The rec
ords show that asphyxiation is the IA
vorite way with the weaker sex "for
shutting of this mortal COIL" when it
has ceased to be bearable.

WERE WANTED ron SPORT.
Story Of the Introduction Of Rabbits
Into Australia.

Australia wants population. but Il
wants men and women, not rabbits.
The British Australian tells the story
Of the coming of the rabbit, in re-
sponse to certain sporting men of
Victoria, who wanted something fresh
to kill. Manning Thatcher made three
attempts to bring rabbits from Eng
land. When he succeeded at last the
sportsmen had forgotten their want.
They were probably shooting the
moon. Mr.. Thatcher could not dispose
Of his wares. So on one hot after
noon he and his companions, left
with considerable burden OF unsold
wares on their hands. suddenly de-
cided to rid themselves once and for
all of the creatures. which had by this
time reached the dimensions OF white
elephants" The rabbits were turned
loose. They remembered the injunc-
tion to be fruitful and multiply. They
did 1t. And they devastated Aus
tralia. Mr.. Thatcher was given
medal to commemorate the gratitude
of Victorians for his introduction of
rabbits. And now Australia is excited
over a French poison that will kill
nothing but rabbits!

American pentist,, Work.

The loss to the English army Of
good men who would re-enlist, but are
rejected on account of bad teeth, has
aroused the army officers to degree
that has resulted in bring about a
reform in the matter of care Of SOL
diers' teeth. The army council has
approved money allowance for the
treatment Of teeth by civil dentists
Several soldiers were recently sent to
a dentist to have their teeth put in Or
der before examination for re-enlist-
ment and they were put in form to
pass. Thus good men were saved to
the army who would otherwise have
been rejected. AS Englishmen prefer
American dentists to all others, this
reform in the English army will doubt
less be of benefit to American dentists
who are located where their services
are available.

Strangely Marked Squirrels.

Among the interesting things shown
at recent meeting of the Geological
society were two young specimens O!
the English squirrel, which had al
most entirely changed in color from
the usual chestnut-brown to a light
drab, only the ears and feet showing
traces of the original color. 1t was
stated that the animals had been
taken from nest when very young
and put in charge of cat, which act
ed as foster-mother, and successfully
reared them. 1t was suggested that
this fact might have caused the colo,

Manila Rone.

A Manila rope, properly laid and
fabricated. is as strong, weight for
weight, as steel; that is, a steel rod
weighs about eight times as much as
manila rope of the same diameter,
and has about eight times the
strength, the strengths being proper
toned to the weights. When used
for transmission purposes 1t has been
found that manila rope one inch in
diameter is equal to a double leather
belt two five-eights inches in width,
30 that three such ropes are very
nearly equal to an eight-inch double
belt. A two-inch rope, says Cas-
sier's Magazine, will transmit as much
power as a ten-inch leather belt,
while the loss from stiffness and
creep are estimated as only about one
half with the rope what they are with
the belt.

Proposed Scotch Canal.

An old plan for a ship canal across
the narrowest part of Scotland has
been revived and is being pushed by
business interests of Edinburgh and
Glasgow. Glasgow has one plan for
cutting the canal at cost of $40,-
100000. Edinburgh has another which
is estimated to call for an expenditure
of sS5,000,0OO. Originally it was sug-
gested that the existing Forth and
Clyde barge canal should be enlarged
and made into tidal canal without
locks at cost of $7O,000.0O0. AS yet
the cost has barred progress, but the
canal would be of very great value
to commerce and so it is expected to
become a reality in time.

Arts of GETTING Rich.

There are many sciences, as well
as many arts, of getting rich. Poison
ing people of large estates was one
employed largely in the middle ages
adulteration of food of people of small
estates is one employed largely now.
The ancient and honorable Highland
method of blackmail; the more mod
ern and less honorable system of OBJ
tanning goods on credit, and the other
variously improved methods of ap-
preparation, which, in major and minor
scales of industry, down to the most
artistic pocket-picking, we owe to
to recent genius-all come under the
general head of sciences, or arts, of
getting rich.-John Ruskin.

The Greatest Task of Education.

The great war that education has to
carry on in society is war against
the brutal self-assertion of vulgar
wealth, with no quarter for the pleas
ure-hunting idler, and merciless con-
Tempt and ridicule for the snob. The
prize of this contest is that the rich
man shall gain his social position not
by the mere fact of his possessing
wealth, but by the manner in which
he employs his wealth for worthy
ends; and when that prize is won by
the influence of educational and intel.
lectual superiority, wealth itself will
be subjugated for the promotion of
true culture and all its elevating in
fiuences.-Carl Schurz

Sunday Mrs. Mackay receives her
friends in secluded corner of the

Paris. The refreshments at these

account. which, whether or not au-
