$3.50 each, six monkeys for 5000 the

From Our Exchanges.

ON Wednesday of this week &. W..
Getchell, proprietor of the Prospect,
received from the commissioners,
eight dozen Southern California
quail, which will be liberated by him
as soon as a suitable location is
selected. These birds are said to
mate readily with our native quail,
and the result is harder bird,
slightly larger than the native, and
more prolific. Mr. Getchell has been
appointed a deputy game warden,
under salary, and under the new
policy of the commissioners will look
after the game protection in this
locality. lie proposes to enforce the
law so far as possible, without fear or
favor, and asks the cooperation of all
law abiding sportsmen in the endeavor
to protect and increase the game OF
this county. This county from the
foothills to the summit is a natural
fish and game preserve, aud the at
tention of the commissioners will be
given especially to Calaveras from
this time forth. Prospect.
VIM. X. Wilson, native of jackson,
but for some time a resident of this
county died at the county hospital
last Monday at the age OF 81 years.
For several years past he has been
engaged in mining near Calaveras,
and before that had kept a hotel in
Lodi. rheTtuneral was held in San
Andreas, the interment being in the

firmly.
Forgetting all save the recognition Of
superior strength and judgment, ap-

tied against him, with a little cry, as
before her frightened gaze a broad
sheet Of flame showed bending trees
hattened to earth and a distant rail
fence flung into flying wreckage.
The man held her more tightly with
an unconscious pressure. His face was
set and steady, tense In his watching,
yet filed with that bold, half smiling
light seen on the visages of those who
fearlcssly face danger.
The next bright fare found her eyes
meeting his in a look as rapid and In
tense as the lightning itself. The girl
smiled at him as his breath drew in
sharply.

Oldest Human Remains.


What are supposed to be the Oldest
human remains in existance, have
been found by two priests in Chalelle
Auz Saints, in Southwest France
They consist of a skull land other
bones and M. Perrier, director of the
Paris Museum of Natural History,
assigns them to the pleistocene or
glacial period. The Eskull shows
practically no forehead, but has a
larger cavity than that of the monkey,
and the chin is unlike the monkey e.
The jaw was very long and the face
could have shown little mobility. M.
Perrier says the owner of such a skull
could never have laughed. He is
said to belong to the epoch of the
Mammoth
DR.. e. Willard Hayes of the Geo
logical Survey, said at Washington
that this latest discovery III France is
an additional proof that human life
several degrees above the monkey
stage co-eXisted with the glaciers.

Marriaae Among the Aztees.

The Aztecs, the most civilized peo-
pie Of the new world at the time Of its
discovery, had curious marriage Gus
tom. The ceremony was performed
by priest who took the hands of the
bride and bridegroom, asking them If
they would marry.
He then took a corner OF the wo-
mans veil and the mans robe and
llnotted them together, and so they
were led to the bridegroom's house. A
fresh fire was then kindled on the
hearth, and around this fire the priest
caused the bride to go seven times.
The welded couple then sat down to-
gether, and so was the marriage CON
tracted. An inventory was also made,
which the father Of the bride after
ward retained, of all the man and
wife brought together, Of furniture for
the house, Of land, Of jewels, orna-
ments and clothes. Then If it CHANGED
that the couple were divorced (as was
common among the Aztecs when man
and wife did not agree they divided
the goods according to the portion each
had brought to the other, both man
and wife having liberty to marry again
whom they pleased. OF the children
of the marriage tho daughters were
given to the wife and the sons to the
husband. 1t was enacted upon pain
Of death that the divorced couple were
not again to remarry.

Napoleon and the Roman Law.

Napoleon l. had an extraordinary
mind. He appeared never to forget
anything he cared to remember and
assimilated information as the stom-
ach assimilates food, retaining only the
valuable. An incident will illustrate
this remarkable quality of his mind.
When forming the "Code Napoleon"
he frequently astonished the council
Of state by the skill with which he il
Illustrated any point in discussion by
quoting whole passages from memory
Of the Roman civil law. The council
wondered how man whose life had
been passed in camp came to know SO
much about the old Roman laws. FL
nally one of them asked him how he
acquired his knowledge.
when l was a lieutenant" NapQ-
leon replied, II was unjustly placed I'M
der arrest. My small prison room con-
tanned no furniture except an old chair
and a cupboard. In the latter was
ponderous volume, which proved to be
q digest of the Roman law. You can
easily imagine what valuable prize
the book was to me. 1t was so bulky
and the leaves were so covered with
marginal notes In manuscript that had
I been confined 100 years 1 need never
have been idle. When l recovered my
liberty, at the end of ten days, l was
saturated with Justinian and the de-
cisions Of the Roman legislation. 1t
was then acquired my knowledge of
the civil law"
