PREHISTORIC FORT.

Archaeological researches made at
a spot some twenty miles from Kars
have brought to light a completely
intact stone fortress of prehistoric
date. The masonry of the print
lively designed forts and bastons is
somewhat roughly but extremely
well laid. Among the many and
various objects found are quite a
number of well preserved figures of
heather gods, mostly in animal
forms and in kind of hard baked
potter's clay. According to the de-
scription of these figures given in the
Kars dispatch they appear to bear a
close resemblance to similar objects
found in ancient Scythian tumui in
the Taurida.-London Standard.

MILK PROBLEM SOLVED HERE
In Cuba the Infant Takes His Lacteal
Fluid Direct From the
Goat.

Down in Cuba they have solved
the problem of the bottle and the
baby. No more unwashed bottles,
nor half-soured milk threatens the
little life with the dread specter of
cholera infantum. When a Cuban
infant has had its morning bath the
click-clack of little hoofs is heard
in the patio. Enter a sleek, well-fed
nanny goat, led by maid, or per-
haps by the adOring grandmother.
Baby is held in position by his fond
mamma or nurse, and while some
body else grasps the animal firmly
by the hind legs the child takes his
breakfast direct from the same lac
teal fount as the kid. These four
footed wet nurses are now kept in
every well-to-do Cuban family where
there are young children. They are
not allowed to roam at large, but
are carefully fed and regularly
bathed and brushed by special at
| tendant.

JUSTICE AND COMMON SENSE
They Do Not Always Coincide In Ad-
ministration Of Law In This
Country.

"It's all a muddlep exclaims one
of George Eliots characters. He
spoke Of economic conditions in Eng
land, but his remark has some apt
ness applied to the administration of
the law in this country-and, indeed,
the world over.
We make no reference here to
glazing miscarriage Of justice. We
have in mind the good-intentioned
acts of judges and magistrates that
sometimes jar on the sensibilities
such an act as that Of the presiding
judge in general sessions in New
York the other day who sentenced
an old man Of seventy to the peni-
tertiary for three months for steal
ing pair of spectacles.
II is right and proper that a man
should be punished for theft, but
justice should be largely tempered
with mercy in the case Of a poor old
man. We have had one or two mag
istrates in this town who would have
discharged him and given him the
price of a pair of spectacles; and
there is a possibility that in this case
such a punishment" would more
nearly fit the crime. knowledge of
law is a mighty good thing to have
on the bench. A big heart, a sense
of proportion and common boss sense
are even more important.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

SENSE OF GRATITUDE LOST
Hobo No Longer Gets Help From
Negroes by Posing as Civil
War Veteran.

An old tramp, who was resting in
City Hall park after long trip on the
road, is authority for the statement
that the attitude of the negro race
toward the old soldier is not what 1t
was.
when / began hoboing years ago"
said the man, Il could live on the fat
of the land by appealing to the graft
tude of the colored people. For four
long years l fought to set you free

enough to get off without a wound,
so now the government won't help me
and am forced to beg
"Of course l didn't fight for them
1 was In short pants when the war
broke out, but the negroes never
stopped to reason out a problem in
ages. After a song-and-dance of that
kind the black man of fifteen, ten or
even five years ago would dig up coin
or share his last cup Of coffee and his
last scrap of bacon with me. But the
present generation has lost the sense
Of gratitude. Whether a man did or
did not fight for their freedom makes
no difference, and the tramp who ex
poets the old soldier wheeze to win
him an easy living from the negroes
is in danger Of getting left"

GENIUS is NOT INHERITED
Most Poets Who Have Had Sons Old
Not Transmit Divine Inflatus
to Them.

An examination of the question OF
the transmission Of genius from father
to son would seem to indicate that the
sons OF great poets are generally dull
dogs" The most eminent English po-
cts had no sons, or lost them early;
and the same observation is true OF
American poets also.
Poetic fever may be a fame that
burns out In its own generation. Often
the poet seems to put 30 much into his
work az to sacrifice his paternity, and
often, alas; the professional poet is
too poor to marry at all. However
that may be, many English poets are
quit of the charge OF begetting dull
dogs" of sons. for they never had any
sons. Cowley, Butler, Otway, Prior,
Congreve, Gay, Phillips, Savage, Thorn
son, Collins, Shsnstons, Akenside,
Goldsmith, Gray and Johnson all died
without leaving offspring, and Mar
lowe, Pope, Keats, Swift, Watts and
Cowper never married.
There are cases on the other side.
Coleridge's son, Hartley, was q poet
of respectable ability; all the Tenny'
sons wrote poetry, so did all the
Rossettis, father and children; Add.
sons father was a writer Of some Inn

Grafton. The same is true of Dryden's
descendants. Millions family and
Shakespeare's became extinct in the
second and third generation. Sir Wal
ter Scott's baronetcy expired with his
son.

Carried Too Ear.

Jerome s. Mcwade, the millionaire
collector Of Duluth, discussed, on the
Narragansett beach, the trend Of mod
ern fiction.
Modern fiction is charitable to
women" he said slowly. Perhaps 1t
is too charitable to women. Wells
and Galsworthy and Bernard Shaw
are not content with letting the wom-
en- go as far as the men-they let
them so farther than the men.
They are as unduly charitable as a
Duluth chap who got himself engaged
to a notorious fiirt.
