Nothing hns been discovered Indicating a civ ilization and culture Mich w the Tro jan iuu-t have attained; hut all the relic point to a stone age, HUc that with which antlijuailaiH aic aldrcady familiar from European remain. The 'tone utensils diller widely, however, from those found In Europe, showing better workmanship. There nro bro ken van's of clay and of hard black ftone, perforated by mcutii of tharp :llnK It seems impix-dhlc- that thec .ould have been fashlmicd by stone tool-, forsome of them are highly or lanicnled. Prlaplc statuettes wow found in the mouuiN, made of terra eottn anil of marble, the marble of a kind now un known in the region. Fragment of vases bore the sculptured head of an owl, and similar head were found made of hard stone. The explorer conies to the con luslon that the Inhabitants of this stone period must have lived centuries before theTioJan war. The tatucttes ofl'rlapu indicate that they were of Jndo-Ciermanle descent, and brought their worship from India, where VMuui Is woishlpped in the "hape of I'rlapu. The owl heads seem toally them to the Hellenic family, as the bird was the favorite symbol of Minerva among the later lircuk. He I disappointed at liuding no trace of Trojan clvlllallon, but intends to continue his search and reach the vir gin earth trod by the tlrst Inhabitants of the laud, if compelled to dig to the depth of fifty feet. He hopes to shed light, by hi excavations, on "the greatest darkness ofpre-historictime, ami to enrich science by the discovery of a few curious pages of the mot an cient history of the great Hellenic na tion." Xo WoxDini. The Cleveland police picked up a man a few days ago, who appeared to be sull'criug from great "worrlment of mind," but on applying oothing remedies, ho explained mat ters. When hu left his happy home early in the morning, his wife kissed him good-by, as Is her custom when she wants any errand performed, and then asked him to "go to the dress maker and tell her that she (the wife) hud changed her mind, and would have the watered silk made up instead of the poplin, and be sure to tell her, dear," said the wife, "that if she thinks it would look better with ten bias tlounccs without pulling, and box-plated below tlio equator, which should be gathered in hem-stitehed gudgeon up and down the seams, with a gus-et stitch between, she can make It up In that way Instead of tinting the bold net Insertion, and piecing out with point applique, as I siiggeted yester day." Hi:sr. The best medicines in the world, more elllelentlnthe cure of dls tasc than all the potencies of the chemist's shop, are warmth, rest, cleanliness and pure air. Some per sons mako It a virtue to brave disease, "to keep up" as longas they can move a foot or bend a linger, and It some times succeeds ; but in others, the powers of life are thereby so com pletely exhausted that the system has lost all ability t recuperate, and ty phoid fever sets In, and carries the pa tient to a proinaturogravo. Whenev er walking orwork Uun etl'ort, a warm bed and a cool room are the very llrt IndUpcnsablo steps to u sure and speedy recovery. Instinct leads all beasts and blulsto quietude and rest the very moment dlsea-e or wound asall the system. Hums and InuWth. When the bird Is no longer present to arrest the propagation of the insect the equili brium Is destroyed ; the insect multi plies, devours the harvests and leads the way to famine, 'i'ho value, of nil t ritlve substances destroyed by insect, foots up to millions; it equals three times the amount of the laud tax. In view of all this weorganle for the de struction of insects ? no, for that of the bird. Man creats misfortunes for tho sake of repulrlng tlictu. He breaks up tlio uwU und kills the birds In or der to ralw royrlad-i of caterpillars. i Four cargoes ot codfish liavo been received at San Francisco from 'tho northern fishing ground thle season, WOMAN".
