with gold, some remains of human
bones and a gold signet ring bearing
the inscription, "Childiricl." Here vas
the key to discovery, for the presence
of the ring led experts to consider that
this was the burial place of Childeric,
king of the Salian Franks, whose capl-
tai was at Journal and who died In
4S1.
This conjecture was further strength
ened by an examination of the differ
ent objects, which were Of such fine
workmanship that they could only
have been wrought for some great
chief or royal parsonage. The hilt and
scabbard of the sword were mounted
with gold, enriched with a mosaic of
garnets and other precious stones held
in gold cloisons. Gold ornaments in
the form of bees, and having the wings
outlined with an inlay of g~arnets set
in gold, and also q small votive object
In the form of a bulls head, with the
solar disk on the forehead, recalling
Mycenean examples, formed part OF
the treasure, and on the ring bearing
| the kings name was engraved the head
of a man with the long, straight hair
worn by the Merovlngians, and with
the gold torque or collar round his
neck. Perhaps this was meant for a
representation. as near as might be, of
Chllderic.
This rare treasure. after changing
hands two or three times, eventually
found its way to the Cabinet des Me-
dailles, Paris. In 1881 thieves, in an
evil hour. broke In and stole almost
the whole Of 1t, leaving behind them
only the mounting Of the sword, two
golden bees, a hbula and a few stray
fragments.

impaired to its diction greater dignity.
And the purpose Of words in diplomat
ic exchanges being to conceal thought.
as Talleyrand said, the language of
chancelleries is far more liquid. II
must fit the cast Of the particular die
into which 1t is poured.
So we must conclude that General
SHUTS is not a diplomat. He has not
the diplomatic method of expression.
When the general met a diplomat,
trained in the school of Metternlch, to
discuss informally a separate peace
with Austria, he put the question Of
such a peace squarely to the be-
ribboned, bestarred representative.
There was hesitation and equlvoca-
ton. Goodnight" was the generals
exclamation as he left the confused
diplomat.
General SHUTS may not wear shin
sleeves in diplomatic councils, but
this use of the vernacular shows that
his verbiage at least takes its coat
off. The acid touch Of a bit Of slang
put an end to the prolonged ambigui.

Writer'S Cramp,

Writer'S cramp does not interfere
with other m~anipulations OF the affect
ed hand. A prominent surgeon now
totally unable TO write uses the af-
fected hand easily to perform all the
delicate and varied manipulations in
cIdent to abdominal surgery.
Complete rest OF the hand. massage
and electrical treatment may AFFORD
relief, but the trouble is likely to re-
cur. Some victims learn to write with
the left hand, but the disease is prone
to extend into the newly trained mem
Der.
The method Of writing from the ell
bow or shoulder instead OF from the
knuckle prevents writer's cranp. AT.
fected persons can use the typewriting
machine perfectly.

The language of the law is the most
formal in the world and the most pre-
else. 1t seeks the definite so ardently
that, with its repetitions and where
asses, 1t confuses its W message and
only that rather perverted form of in
~tellect, the legal mind, can wind
through its labyrinthine verblage. The
language of diplomacy, borrowing
something of formallty from the law,
is nevertheless far more dignified. The
law deals merely with estates and pri-
vate contracts. 1t DEGREES the fate of
the individual. But the fate of ma
lions may hang on the ~phraseolOgy Of

The golden bees had been discovered
in considerable numbers. and were
thought to have decorated the royal

that Napoleon, ever entering into the
spirit of historical display, chose this
decoration for his coronation robes.
Has Beautiful Buildings.
Journal claims to be the Oldest OF
the cities of Belgium, and is certainly
one of the most interesting and most
picturesque, and contains a large num-
Der of beautiful buildings. There a
always been great sympathy between
the people of Journal and the French,
and much intercourse between the
town and Lille, just across the from
tier.
In the Grande place stands a statue
of the Princess d'Epinoy, who distin-
guished herself in the defense OF
Journal against Alexandra Farnese in
1881. She fought In full armor and
saved the town by her energy and
courage. The beautiful cathedral is
n of the finest examples of the Ro-
manesque type of architecture, and
challenges comparison with the splen-
did churches of northern France.

Hills was a well-to-do farmer. He
had a hired man named Delahanty.
He became suspicious of his wife and
the farmland. Mrs. Hills sued for d.
vorce. Hills made no contest. The
divorce was granted. On the night OF
December 81, 1901, Hills called upon
his former wife 20 arrange a property
division. During a quarrel he hot
and killed D%elahanty. Hills was con-
victed of murder in the second degree
and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Hills former wife married again. She
and her second husband have since
died. Hills three children disappeared.
The state parole board, in strongly
recommending a pardon for Hills on
the ground hat he should have been
convicted of m~anslaughter, said:
"a daughter of Hills has been edu-
Gated at his expense after her mother
had apparently sold her into a life of
shame. The care and comfort that
Hills has been able to bestow upon
this daughter speak well for the mans
high purpose and capacity. The board
feels that the affection the daughter
has for her father is deserved by him,
and while homicide car rarely, IL ever,
be justified, 1t seems to the board that
Hills has suffered sufficiently for the
crime of which he pleaded guilty"
