Prehistoric Finds in Turkestan.

Prehistoric Finds In Turkestan.
Paul Pelliot the young French ex-
plorer OF Chinese Turkestan, has found
in caverns at Tuan Huang, silk rolls
which are Chinese manuscripts, some
Of them embroidered by artists, who
seem to have stepped out of The
Arabian Nights. These rolls have been
immured In these grottos for 900 years,
and when deciphered and translated
win tell the story of civilization that
lourished over thousand years ago
and is dead The explorer brought
back 5000 rolls, but as there are 500
grottos he believes many more libra
ries will be found. In the last few
years archaeologists at work in the
Mediterranean island of Crete have un-
earthed ruins and pottery which prove
that civilized people inhabited Greece
as far back as 1900 B. G. The system
of drainage in the prehistoric city Of
Gnossus, in Crete, is more sanitary
than any found in any historic age
anywhere on earth until the nine
teenth century. The life of the human
race upon this planet Is being traced
farther and farther back. The earliest
known civilization is being found to
have been preceded by one still earlier

most compare in organization and
management with the exclusive Lon

the students duels are fought.

laws have failed to put down duelling

sportsman. and the authorities reeog-
nize how valuable the "mensur" is in
accustoming the duellist to look his
opponent fearlessly in the eye, to col
lect all the force OF his will, and to
control his faculties. They realize
that it helps the formation of charac-
ter and prepares the student for a
courageous battle with life. The code
or honor among the members of these
corps is very strict, and an infringe
ment of It can be wiped out only with
blood. That the duels are fought ac-
cording to the most rigid rules goes
without saying. and every care is
taken that the vital parts are pro

A common method Of dealing with
greaser laborers in the new state Of
New Mexico is to have them work on

ton Of the system is told on a well
known manager of one Of the 10000
acre ranch corporations.
A certain Mexican bad been ac-

Sl25, according to the faculty is paid
by the student on obtaining his doc
tors degree. 1t is stated that stu
dent can live on $500 a year, except in
cities like Berlin, If he spends his va
cations at home and is provided by
his parents with clothes and linen. It
must be added, however, that each un-
iversity student costs the state about
$3.50 a year
The number of students at the 21
German universities was last summer
just over $1,000, OF whom about $500
are women; and It may be mentioned
that in 1871 the number was barely
10000. Berlin university had last
summer S,425 male and TIT female
students; 613 Of the latter study in
the philosophical faculty, 152 in the
medical, 10 are studying jurisprudence
and theology. The German student
does not remain at one university. he
is even encouraged by the education
al authorities to sit under various pro
fessors in order that his knowledge
and judgment may be widened There
are, Of course, rich students and poor
students, though no distinction is
made in the lecture rooms. In their
non-academic life, however, they rare

always belonged to associations es-

ommended to a cadetship at the naval
academy at Annapolis. Lincoln was
glad to make the appointment, and the
lad was directed to report for examin-
alton in July. Just before starting
from home it was discovered that the
boy could not be admitted, being un-
der fourteen, the required age-his
birthday not occurring until the Sep
tember following. The boy was bitter
ly disappointed and feared he would
not be able to go at all He was told
he would be taken to see the presi-
dent, who would make It all right.
Some time afterward he was taken to
the White House and presented to
the president, to whom he made a
graceful bow. The difficulty was ex.
planned and the president said:
why. bless me, is that the boy who
aided so gallantly in those two bat
ties? Why, feel as though l should
take off my hat to him and not he to
me-" The president took the papers
and issued an order that the boy
should report in September instead OF
in July. Then putting his hand on the
lads shoulder, he said: "Now, my
boy, go home and have good fun dur
ing these two months, for they are
about the last holiday you will get
The little fellow bowed himself out

great man. was at the same time

coin and the children:
At the beginning Of the war l was
a mere lad. Like all other boys at
that time / was fred with patriotic
spirit and went about the village
streets making speeches and urging
every man to enlist / did not then
know what the war meant. but
knew our side. My enthusiasm was
so great that any appearance on the
street was a signal to get me up on
store goods box to make a speech. My
father related this to Lincoln and
asked permission to bring me to the
White House. This was granted, and
one morning we drove there and
were received by the president alone.
AS he rose to greet US | thought he
was the longest, ugliest and most un-
calmly man l had ever seen. When
was presented to him he leaned down,
and taking me by the hand said: so
this is the little patriot? All, Mr.. Lloyd.
In these times the boy is indeed father
to the man. l wish all the men in the
north had his spirit" He took me on
his knee and talked to me about the
war, and the ugliness was forgotten.

eyes, the firm mouth. around which
