The bones were found at the depth of ."'-' feet, embedded ill a vein of gravel, mid were in an ex cellent stale of preservation. The skeleton w as put together as soon as the workmen were somewhat recov ered from their astonishment, and proved upon measurement to be nearly tl feet long. The thigh hone measured !l feet and 2 inches in length, and the spinal column was 4 feel 2 inches long. The skull measured ,'1H inches in circumfer ence, and wa fractured and crushed in several places, which would seem to indicate that this historic (loli nth had met his death in battle or by some other violent means. 'Several war implements were found buried with the remains. One weapon, a huge stone axe, weighed 27 pounds; and another, a Hint spear head, weighed 18 pounds. The weight of these weapons, til -though so great, must have been eas ily handled by this great warrior of ages gone.

I'.i'fides the inllucnit, Kuro is threatened with another epidemic which has probably Wfore never in vaded its territory. It has its cra dle in the pviiinsula of the Oangen, and it is called the retl fever of In dia. It is an eruptive malady, dis closing some of the characteristics of measles ami scarlctiua. There are really two eruptions, one ini tial and the other final. The at tack is sudden', with weakness, la--situde, pain in tho head and affect ed eyes, and then the first eruption apf ara, in the form of red blotch 's. as in scarUtiua. The liintl cru lioit becomes apparviit from the fourth to the sixth ihty, and resem bles that of measles, ailed ing the feet, hands and limbs, and disap pearing in its turn after a dura tion of twenty-four hours. Conva lescence is rather alow. The dis ease has hitherto been confined chief ly to Asia, but it has recently ap peared in Constantinople and at I'levesa.

'lil hi ren that 'Ira.e. is a misfortune to a child to It supHise that teasing is essential to his gaining a point he wants to gain. A result of such a view in his mind is that he looks not to his parents' w isdom and judgment, but to hit own Hisitiveness and cr sistcticj as the guide of his action in any mooted case of personal conduct ; not to principle which are disclosed to him by one who is in authority, hut to impulses which are w holly in his own bosom. Such a view is inimical to all wise methods of thinking and doing on a child s liart, ami it is even more of a misfortune to the parent than to the child for the child to have the idea that the parent's de cision is a result of the child's tens ing, rather than that of the parent's understanding of what is right and Wat in a given case. No parent can have the truest re spect of his chihl while the child knows that he can tease that parent into compliance with the child's re ipiest contrary to the parent's real or supposed conviction. For the chibl's sake, therefore, and also for the parent's, every child ought to be trained not to tease and not to ex pect any possible advantage from teasing. Sunday School Times.
