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 primi- lively designed forts and bastions 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 tumuli in the Taurida.-London Standard.

MODERN MIRACLES.

An Irishman, who had returned from visit to the old country, was telling friend of the sights that had impressed him.
 "But the funniest of all is their little tillyphone," he said. "Tis a square little insthryment that ye put up to your face, wan end to your ear and wan to your mouth; and then ye say, Are you therep' and the fellow at the other end answers yes or no-as the case may be."- Youths Companion.

JUSTICE AND COMMON SENSE
They Do Not Always Coincide in Ad. nlnistratlon of Law in This
 Country.

'It's all muddle!l" !" exclaims one of George Elot's 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 glaring 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- tentiary for three months for steal ing a pair of spectacles.
 It is right and proper that man should be punished for theft, but justice should be largely tempered with mercy in the case of 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 pair of spectacles; and there is possibility that in this case such punishment" would more nearly fit the crime. Knowledge of law is mighty good thing to have on the bench. A big heart, a sense of proportion and common hoss sense are even more important.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

HIS FEE WAS EXCESSIVE
SkiIlful Dentist Was Not Appreciated d by the Young Farmer of the
 Adirondacks.

A New York dentist, having re- covered from siege of illness, went up to the Adirondacks for season of recuperation and rest. He got on so rapidly that he decided to open an office there for few months and combine business with pleasure. His speciality was extraction of teeth, and so much attention and study had he given to this branch of his profess sion that his fame soon spread, as it had in New York.
 One day young farmer came into the office with an ill-behaved tooth that was causing him much misery. Better have it out" was the den- tist's adyice, so the yokel climbed into the chair. The molar had a curved root, and to extract it was a difficult task. There would have been real trouble had the man with the forceps not been past master of his art. With twist and sort of "unhooking" movement he had it out in an instant.
 "How much ?"grunted the patient.
 Dollar" said the dental surgeon.
 "A dollar! A dollar for a thing like that" howled the farmer. You're reg'lar robber. Why, old Dr. Ginks drags yer all over the floor for fifty centsw

THIS SOLID EARTH A JELLY
It Qulvers and Vbrates, Responding to Wind, Water and Frost,
 Say Scientists.

The "solid earth is evidently a misnomer at least, two Germon sci entists claim that the land Is almost as unstable as the sea.
 They, by long series of obser- vations, have proved that the earth has regular waves. In Germany these oscillations are extremely small. have duration of between three and ten seconds, and seem to have some relation to the waves of the North sea.
 The most curious discovery was that the seismograph at Goettingen shows very irregular oscillations of the earth, having periods of from three-quarters of a minute to three minutes, which have some sort of a connection with the frosts of south eastern Europe. These oscillations are at . maximum at six o'clock in the morning and diminish until three in the afternoon.
 Even the wind has set up yibra- tions in the soil that the instruments are delicate enough to detect.

A single spout has openings communi- eating with their respective compart- ments and valves controlling these openings are worked from a point near the handle so that the person pouring can open any particular valve and so cause tea, coffee or cocoa to discharge from the spout.

AMERICAN PHOSPHATE LANDS

The phosphate lands which a year or two ago were withdrawn from entry for settlement by the federal government constitute, it is said, the greatest known phosphate deposits in the world. These lands comprise nearly the whole of Uinta county in Wyoming and portions of Morgan, Rich and Cache counties in Utah and of Bear Lake, Bannock, Bing- ham and Fremont counties in Idaho. making in all about 7,500 square miles of territory which is more or less underlain by phosphate rock. Be- sides these vast natural deposits it is pointed out that the gases from the smelters at Butte and Anaconda, which are very injurious to vegeta- ton, may be made to yield sulphuric acid for the manufacture of super phosphate fertilizers. = Scientific American.

On the other hand, the motor car has brought
to the county fairs a certain patronage from city
folk who almost never attended these rural exhibi-
lions In the old days. Some of the city folks are

be added, that most fairs throughout the United
