PREHISTORIC WORKSHOP FOUND.
Curious Collection of Tools Discovered
at Southbourne.

London, April 5.-Some valuable pre-
historic discoveries have been made at
Southbourne. Bournemouth, near the
neolithic pits unearthed four years ago.
In the space of about the size of an
ordinary dining room has been found a
complete prehistoric workshop, which
was suddenly abandoned when IN full
working order. and is now covered by
growing vegetation.
Wethin the area was a complete outfit
from rough fints TO finished arrow
points, and pigmy flints, spear points,
boring tools. picks, scoops. axes. knives
and curious tools, which are as sharp as
when they were made. Some of the
tools weigh less than a pound, others
less than a pennyweight; Others are so
fine and small that 1874 of them weigh
an ounce.
Near the prehistoric workshop was an
egg shaped altar stone. seven ivory
beads, and a stone incense cup. belong
ing 10 the Druid period. They may be
as old a. the Druid temple at Stone
henge. which was built about 1850 y. G.
The stone incense cup was probably
used for amounting kings and queens.

WILSON TO SUSPEND
CIVIL SERVICE RULES
Will Enable Cripple to Earn a Living
as Waterman at Navy Yard
in Brooklyn

Washington. May 5.-The president
Saturday decided to issue an executive
order suspending the operation of the
civil service rules in the case of Swend
A. Swenson of Brooklyn, in order to
permit his appointment to a govern
ment position without taking the re-
quired competitive civil service exam
ination.
Swenson will be appointed watch
man at the Brooklyn navy yard. His
case had peculiar features that appealed
to the president and persuaded him to
follow the unusual course of making a
special exception to the civil service
regulations, something he had not done
in the two months since he has been in
the White House.
Swenson was an engineer and ma
chinist and was employed on govern
ment work at Neely's Landing. no. two
years ago, when through break in the
machinery he was running, he lost one
arm and the hand of the other arm.
Since then Swenson has been unable to
earn living. His case was brought
to the attention of the president by
Representative John j. Fitzgerald of
Brooklyn

KEPT SEX SECRET so YEARS.
Veteran of the Civil War Was Woman,
; But None Knew 1t.

Quincy, H., May 5.--The sex of Albert
j. Cashier, a Civil war veteran and an
inmate of the Soldiers Hame here, was
first learned by the public yesterday
through Colonel Anderson, the superin-
tendent OF the home.
As woman, he had served three years
in the Civil war, being mustered out in
1885, and was a few years later placed
on the government pension rolls. The
woman entered the soldiers home two
years ago in the guse OF a man, and the
sex was only known to Anderson, who
kept the affair secret.
Two weeks ago the woman was de-
clared insane and will probably be COM
mitted to the state hospital, none know
ing her real name
Her sex was first discovered, it is said,
over two years ago when acting as a
chauffeur. When she erept under the
car to fix the mechanism, the auto start
ed and both legs were broken. When
taken to the hospital it was discovered
that the chauffeur was a woman.

The Philosophy of Life.

Some men have the ability to blow a
tin horn in a way to make it sound as if
it were made out of gold.
Nothing encourages like encourage
ment.
If you see a man doing thing and
doing it well, tell him so. 1t will help
him to do it better.
Selfshness is a form of sponging. 1t
is getting all the kindness from Others
you can without returning any-unless
it is squeezed out of you.
The world is growing better to all who
are honestly trying to make it better.
1t is the men with their hands in their
own or other peoples pockets who can
not see progress.
II you want sympathy of other people,
don't talk about your troubles until you
have put them all under your feet.--Se-
leeted.
