Fresh discoveries of human remains,
probably prehistoric, were found this
week on the Italian frontier near Men
tone. Two years ago the skeleton of a
man more than 8 feet high was unearth
ed at the same spot nnder the direction
of an English archasilogist. Workmen
in a cave iecently uncovered several
slabs of stone which seemed to form a
part of a dolmen. The earth contained
many bones of animals, broken evi
dently, for the extraction of the mar
row, and there were indications of fire
close by. Several small, pierced shells
which once formed a chaplet and a
row of stag's teeth were near at band.
The skeleton of a man 6 feet 2 inches
in height was lying on its back. The
legs were crossed below the knee. The
right aim was extended and bent back
ward toward the head. The hand was
clinched. The left hand was placed
under the head. The same position has
been frequently observed in early neo
lithic hnriala. A fine crystal of carbon
ate of lim e beside the skeleton was prob
ably a talisman. Further excavations
in the cavern revealed innumerable
bones of animals, notably a fine verte
b ra of a mammoth. Still another find
is a flint implement, which appears to
be of palaeolithic age.— I’aris Letter.

— “ W ith heavy cavalry boots it w ill take

opened, and there before us was R ich ’s
ghost. I knew’ it was a ghost and did not
find out that it was Rich until he threw
himself into his m other’s arms and burst
out crying. Then I knew* it was not a
ghost, for Cousin Fanny always said a
ghost did not shed tears.
And this was the way it happened: As
Rich was ridin g m errily down the road
and was about to gallop across the bridge,
i which he would not have done except that
he was so anxious to get to the army, two
men stepped out and said. “ What are you
in such a hurry about, sonny? Seen any
Yankees?” And Rich said no; he only
wished he could. Then one of the men
said, “ Good many o f ’em about, ain ’t
there?” A n d Rich said, “ They better not
be about where our men are, for they
won't be there long.” “ W hy not?” asked
the man. And Rich said, u ’ Cause w e’ll

I said, “ Maybe they are like that colt that

w ill, and I ’ m goin g over to help drive
them now. And I haven’ t got any more
time to lose, and I must g o .”
But the man with the blue overcoat on
said, “ Sonny, you can drive Vm fast
enough on foot and don’t need a horse, so
get dow n.” A t first Rich said he w ouldn’t,
but the point of the bayonet looked very
sharp and was so close to his face.
So Rich got down. But he told the man
he would report him to General Lee; that
General Lee was his mother’s cousin. Bnt
the man said General Lee was a great
friend o f his and said Rich must give his
love to General Lee and tell him his friend
Charles Demoines from Iowa sent his love
to him.
Then it came to Rich for the first time
that the Yankees had him, and that he
was a prisoner. He wondered what they
would do with him. W ould they march
him off to prison, or would they carry him
before their general, like the soldiers did
the young Roman in history?
He did not have to w ait long though,
for one of the men go» on R ich ’s colt and
rode away very fast, and the other man
said to Rich: “ I t ’s time boys like you was
in bed. L e ’ me see how fast you can drive
’long that road you jest come and give
my love to General Lee when you see him .”

A s a rule, Delsarte and theosophy strike
the uninitiated with terror. L ife seems
loo short to delve into their aw ful m yste
ries, and so to the average mind theosophy
lignifles clever sleight of hand tricks, and
Delsarte is ever associated w ith wabbling,
wild eyed women who pose in greenery
yallery tea gowns and talk vaguely about
“ the cu lt.”
But when you hear a sweet
faced, soft voiced little woman in a dream
of an ivory crape gown, with cunning lit
tle silk bow knots all over it and great,
puffy sleeves that suggest the wings of
Sandolphin, the angel of glory, talk down
right sensible things about health and
grace and the relation of the body to dress
and how to keep from grow ing old and
ugly and fat, and when she tells you this
is “ Americanized Delsarte” you begin to
think that maybe, after all, there’s some
thing in it, and that Francois Delsarte
knew what he was talking about.
Mrs. Em ily M. Bishop, who is tlie teach
er and expounder of Delsarte and physical
self culture at the great Chautauqua sum
mer school, lias been lecturing at Pratt in
stitute, Brooklyn, on these questions of
so vital interest to women. For breathes
there a woman w ith soul so dead who does
not long to keep young and slim and at
tractive?
Mrs. Bishop, who is a striking illus
tration of the logic and good sense o f her
precepts, is not a hit o f a faddist. She
does not attitudinize, nor does she wear
costumes calculated to give any self re
specting scarecrow an attack o f nervous
prostration. She is a tiny woman, full of
fire and dew— a sort o f unpatented phys
ical dynamo. Her department at Chautau
qua is the largest numerically and finan
cially, having achieved tw ice the revenue
ever secured by any special class of work
there, and that, too, in spite of the handi
cap by certain limitations in the organi
zation.
I saw* Mrs. Bishop at the close o f one o f
her lectures and asked her. “ How may
women keep from grow ing old?”
“ Old age is going out of fashion.”
laughed the lady. “ Seventy-five now, you
know, is only considered a reasonable m a
turity. Old age is not, the lines on the
face that are the carving o f thought and
erudition nor the soft halo of w hite hair.
It is rather the loss o f elasticity of the
body, o f the pow er to do physical acts that
were once as play to us. If people w ill
think old age and expect it, they w ill not
be disappointed. Many a woman of 40 has
the form and expression of a w oman o f SO.
We can keep our bodies young by system
atic exercise. Muscles that are not duly
exercised, you know, lose their shape,
firmness and strength. Look at the dancer
who at 75 has the flexibility o f a young
girl. It is a well known fact that women
who are actively engaged in literary, so
cial and reform movements remain young
longer than those whose lives run in un
eventful, narrow grooves. This is not so
much the difference in the kind of work,
bnt the difference in the thoughts back of
the work, for when one’s thoughts are not
given to general interests one becomes ab
sorbed in self. F le x ib ility, the distin
guishing characteristic of youth, may lie
preserved by certain physical exercises.
Obesity, that foe o f women, should not be
starved away, but routed by certain exer
cises. Above all, expel thoughts of infirm
ity and tim e.”
“ W ill you give some exercise for the
m itigation of abdominal corpulency?”
“ Yes. Stand normally. S ligb tly but
firm ly contract the abdominal muscles
Raise the arms laterally to the level o f the
shoulders, with the hands extended, palms
upward. K eeping the arms and hands in
this position, slow ly bend the torso to the
righ t side. A fte r holding the position a
moment, raise the torso to its normal
poise; then let the arms sink to the sides
as the breath is gently exhaled. N ext in
hale and raise the arms as before, tw ist
the torso to the right and bend backw ard
in a direct liue with the right arm. A fte r
holding the position for a moment, raise
the torso, untwist it and then let the arms
sink to the sides as the breath is exhaled.
These bending and tw isting exercises de
velop flexib ility, give a rounded contour
to the waist and prevent an undue accu
mulation of adipose over the hips.”
“ You have given an exercise to prevent
adipose. Can you suggest something for
wrinkles?”
“ One o f the places w here the marks of
age are first seen,” replied Mrs. Bishop,
“ is in the muscles of the neck. From lack
o f exercise these muscles become w eak ami
flaccid. A very good exercise is this: Sit
erect, keeping the head w’ell poised and
the arms and legs relaxed. S low ly turn
the head until it is directly over the right
shoulder; then bend it backward diago
nally until the face is turned directly to
ward the ceiling, and then rotate the head
around to the other shoulder ; then slowly
lift it and turn it forward and to the right
shoulder again.
“ This is an excellent remedy not only for
wrinkled necks, but for nervous headaches
and pain at the base o f the brain.”
“ W hat other advice do you give women
with which to fight off old age?”
“ Stop w orryin g,” promptly and em
phatically answered the lady. “ Many a
woman fidgets herself nearly frantic use
lessly— stews, as they call it in remote ru
ral districts. I f women would hut trust—
learn the beauty and the power of repose.
Think how much nerve force is frittered
away in little meaningless movements—
tapping the feet, hitching the shoulders,
drumming with the fingers, jerking the
head, clasping and unclasping tlie hands,
working the lips, contracting and elevat
ing the eyebrows. The m ajority o f wom
en are in a state o f chronic tension. Ten
sion causes fatigue, inability, self con
sciousness, nervousness and insomnia, and
these ills are enough to make any woman
old and ugly before her time. The gospel
o f relaxation is the message to be preach
ed to the nervous, tense, high strung
American woman of today. There are
many exercises to assist and accomplish
this relaxation. The hands, being the d i
rect agents o f the mind, by their tension
and restlessness report the mental strain
and agitation. Therefore they are the first
members to deal with. Let the arms hang
heavily at the sides and agitate the hands
until they feel lifeless. Shake them for
ward and backward, laterally and in cir
cles. from each other and toward each oth
er. When the hands become relaxed, raise
the arms above the head. Hold the po
sition for a m om ent; then drop the arms
like dead weights. There are many other
exercises for relaxation of which there is
not tim e to speak. But every exercise is
a physical expression of the idea ‘ Let go!
Let go the worry and fr e t ! Drop it now—
relax, rest!’ ” — New York Herald.

London district court last week of a
man who was unable to support his in

admission to an infirmary seven years
ago and paid 5 shillings weekly main
tenance till a few weeks ago, when he
learned that the woman died a few
days after entering the infirmary, and
he had been a widower seven years.
Instead of finishing his conjugal neg

It was not like most prairie schooners,
which a s a rule impress one as being com
fortable and picturesque. In the first place
there were no children in this wagon, and
generally one sees little faces peering from
front and rear and under the flapping can
vas at the sides.
The sticks supporting the canopy bulged
through the brown, tattered cover, their
outlines distinct as the ribs of the starving
horses craw ling along through the white
blur o f dust, says a w riter in the Chicago
Tribune. The wagon lurched slowly up
the main street o f the little Nebraska
town, the fierce wind swooping down from
the bluffs in the south, and rending the
rotten canvas into fantastic fringe. No
stock followed. A dejected dog slunk be
tween the rear wheels in an apologetic at
tempt to efface himself.
The man on the creaking seat leaned
forward, holding the slack lines in lan
guid hands. He was about 40, thin and
stooping of shoulder. His sallow face was
lined. His hair was streaked w ith gray.
He drove on to the outskirts of the town.
There a great oak tempted him. He drew
up under its shade and turned the lean
horses loose. He took a little flat pi<*ce of
sheet iron 2 feet long, and under it built
a fire of tw igs and sticks. He went down
to the creek tw in k lin g near, a mere thread
in its parched grave, and came back with
a tin o f water. He put a handful of
ground coffee in a skillet, poured water on
it and set the utensil on the prim itive
stove. When the coffee had boiled several
minutes, he strained it, wiped out the pan
w ith a newspaper and laid in it a few slices
o f fat pork. These cooked, he took from
the interior of the wagon a hag of soda
crackers and sat down to his lonely meal.
A young farmer, jo ggin g by on horse
back, nodded to him, sent him also a
glance o f curiosity. “ Campers” were a
common sight. O f late they had been pass
in g through in droves, but few had appear
ed so forlorn as this man.
“ H ow fu r,” called out the camper, “ is

“ Tw elve m iles.”
“ Bad road?”
The young fellow stopped his horse,
swung half round.
“ Middlin. Goin fur?”
“ Back to Io w y .”
“ Burnt out?” hazarded the other.

A ll along the Bowery the pawnshop
windows are filled with pistols, says the
New York Sun. Every kind of a pistol
can be found there, from the tiny pepper
box to the long navy. Besides these there
are hundreds of hunting knives, daggers
and diA s and plenty of weapons less fa
miliar, such as slungshots, blackjacks,
brass or iron knuckles and loaded clubs.
That they are there in the pawnshops is
evidence that they have been used, most
of them in all probability recently. Yet
any one carrying any of these weapons ex
cept the pistols is liable to penalties set by
law, and d o man is permitted to carry a
pistol unless he carries it openly or has a
permit. Less than B00 permits to carry
concealed pistols an* issued annually. At
a conservative estimate, the estimate of an
officer who has had long experience with
all classes of men in the city, 12,000 New
Yorkers carry weapons unlawfully, either
weapons which an; forbidden by law or
pistols without a permit.

Mrs. W illiam Se»identopf died Satur
day from the effects of a dose of poison,
which she spread on a piece of bread
and then deliberately ate. Mrs. Seiden-
topf was a Christian science believer,

son to prove ber faith. Even after the
agony resultant from the action of the
poison had begun, she refused to allow
a doctor to be called and was beyond
hope of saving when one was summon

would have adopted the latter route, bu*
that is long passed. The ameer o f Afghan*
istan, though he and his people are nomi
nally independent o f either o f the g n a t
powers, is nowand for some years has been
friendly to the English.
It was about ten years ago that the
British discovered the value Chitral m ight
some tim e lie to them. Then; was then
some danger o f a war between Russia and
the English in In dia on account o f w hat is
known as the Penjdeh incident. Just
what the latter amounted to does not m at
ter at this time, but the complications to
which it gave rise were so serious as to
cause the establishment of a British resi
dence at Chitral and the extension of a su
zerainty over the region, whose sovereign’s
title is that of mehtar.
The Kashgar region is only a part of the
greater territory termed Yagiiistan, which
includes Swat, ruled by an ahkoond and
peopled by the Swatis, the lands of the Yu-
sufzais, the Utm an Kinds and the Mo-
inands and the countries known as Bajaur
and Dir. Am ir-ul-M ulk, a younger son
in the reign in g house o f Chitral, had to
leave the country some years ago on ac
count o f political complications and his
elder brother, Xizam -ul-M ulk, was mehtar
in Chitral until recently. The younger
brother, however, who had fallen into a
religious life— paganly religious, o f course
— somewhere in southern India, dreamed
that he was to reign in his elder brother’s
stead. So he hastened to Chitral, hid 1 h *-
hiud a rock pile near which the mehtar
must pass, shot the unfortunate ruler dead
aud proclaimed him self mehtar. Then one
Sher A fzu l, an uncle o f the t wo, appeared
and said he had abetter righ t to be mehtar
of Chitral than had Am ir-ul-M ulk. Sher
A fzu l got help from U m ra Khan, the sav
age ruler o f Jhandol, and the combined
forces o f the tw o attacked the British resi
dence o f Chitral and cut off the supplies of
Mr. Robertson, the resident there, and his
garrison. There was danger that R obert
son and his supporting force would be
wiped out, and it was this that caused
General S ir Robert C. L o w to be sent to
Chitral from Peshawar.
A t the latter place and the nearby sta
tions o f Kowshera and H o ti about 13,000
British troops, including the historic guide
corps founded by Colonel Lumsden, have
been regularly stationed for some years.
A s is usual in sim ilar British expeditious
the guide corps preceded the main body of
troops on the march to Chitral, and before
the advance had been pushed very far the
gallant little corps, under command of
Colonel Battye, was completely annihilat
ed by the natives.
The method adopted in this annihilation
was peculiar to the territory and the hos
tile forces which compassed it. The entire
region through which the relief party had
to pass is o f the most broken description
and abounds in narrow, dark defiles be
tween precipitous heights. While Colonel
Battye and his men were m arching through
one o f these straitened passages a body of
natives massed at the top o f the cliffs and
rolled down a perfect torrent o f bowlders
upon the devoted heads of the British, not
one o f whom was left alive. However, in
spite o f this and other setliacks, the B rit
ish have succeeded in relieving Mr. Robert
son and the little garrison at Chitral, Sher
A fzu l has been captured and an alliance
has !>oen made with the khan o f Dir. The
trouble may therefore now l>e considered at
an end, for the present at least, and the
British w ill no doubt proceed to thorough
ly subjugate tho Swats and other tribes
which assisted Sher A fzu l and Um ra
Khan. This w ill not be an easy task, how
ever, since the natives are of the most w ar
like temperament, o f splendid physical
constitution and not at a ll inclined to be
ruled by anybody.
U n til about 20 years ago the Swats were
very powerful. Then the greatest ahkoond
who ever ruled over them was called away
by death, after a reign of 60 years. It was
this ahkoond whose death inspired the late
George T. Lanigan to w rite that extraordi
nary piece o f versification which alone has
made fame for the name of the ahkoond
o f Swat in the civilized world.
It is likely that the first th in g that the
British w ill do to strengthen themselves
in the territory they have now safely en
tered w ill be to extend the railroad north
from the terminus at Peshawar, since good
roads are always found to have the strong
est sort of influence in thoroughly subdu
ing savage tribes.
out thar dried up like a drunkard’ s throat. ”
“ Did ye hev much to lose?”
The camper took a gulp o f the coffee
and choked a bit.
“ Only 300 acres, an a wife, an a child.”
“ Eh?” queried the young farmer stupid
ly. H e had ridden up close to tlia wagon,
and now lifted one le g over the mare’s
head and wheeled around in the saddle.
The camper forgot his supper. He clinch
ed tw o gnarled brown hands around his
knees as he sat on the grass.
“ I went out west when I got married,
four years ago, ’ ’ he said, g-ad in a way to
break tl. i silence of days. “ She wus lots
younger n me an pretty ez you ever see.
H er fo il s said ez how she’d lie sorry for
takin mo. She wus.”
H e sat silent a few minutes. When he
looked up, he went on hastily, with a kind
o f twitch in his voice. “ I don't know
why I'm tellin you this. I ain ’ t never seen
you before. Ennyhow things went wrong.
First there come hog cholery. Then thar
wus chinch bugs. I had to mortgage the
farm. A ll the time Mary kep’ gittin more’ n
more discontented. Even the comin of
the little girl, that heartened me up so
powerful, seemed a worriment to her.
This spring she says: ‘ E f thar’ s a crop this
year so’ s we kin live easy,.we stay togeth
er. E f thar ain't, we don’t . ’ Gittin a wet
spring made us hopeful. Things wus
lookin fine when that cookin hot weather
come along. The everlastin hot winds kep’
a-blowin an a-bio win. The corn curled
up an crackled like pai>er. What wus left
wouldn’t make decent fodder.
I t ’ ud
make the heart of a man ache to see the
stalks that meant peace an love an happi
ness to him a dyin a slow death, an him
a hopin till the last ear wus shriveled.
Thinkin, too, all the tim e that a middlin
rain ’ ud save it, an Godlemiglity bavin
floods up thar to sweep other men’s farms
aw a y!”
A meadow lark chirped its little treble
noted song in the stubble near. The abash
ed dog cast an insinuating eye at the skil
let.
“ M ary,’ ’ the camper continued, “ kep’
her word. She went off with a drummer
that wus stayin at the town hotel. The
little girl did w ell fur awhile. Then— doc
tor said ’ twas m alairy; the neighbors said
frettiu fur her mother— whichever ’twas
she died. The mortgage on the farm wus
foreclosed; the furniture wus sold. H alf
paid fur the cuffing, the other half fu r a
new dress her mother got before she went
aw ay.”
He began gathering up his traps, pre
paring to resume his journey.
“ Y o u ’re goin g bock east— what to do?”
asked his confidant.
The camper climbed wearily* up to the
creaking seat.
“ God know s!” he answered. “ I don’t,
sn I don’t care much.”

The newsgatherer on hit daily search
for items of interest often comes across
happenings of more than passing note.
It was during a recent conversation
w ith Mr. A . H. Cransby, the w ell-
known commercial traveler, w ith the
Cochran Lumber Company, that a re
porter of the Commercial learned of a
wonderful case. Mr. Cransby is w ell
known in Memphis aud surrounding
country, and now resides at 158 Ken-
street.
“ Just ten years ago ,” said he, “ my
w ife noticed a small lump in her
breast. She thought nothing of it, but
it increased in size rapidly, aud soon
broke through the skin, and com
menced to discharge. She was pnt
under treatment of the best physicians,
bnt they very soon found that they
could do her no good, aud sim ply pre
scribed antiseptics to keep the place
clean.
Both her grandmother and
aunt, by the w ay, had died w ith can
cer, and when apprised of this fact,
the doctors told me that they would
not attempt to save her; that she was
incurable. A lthough the cancer had
by this time become deep seated, aud
her health very low, I had one of the
most noted specialists of New York to
treat her. A fte r treating her awhile,
this doctor admitted that the case was
hopeless aud further treatment useless.
It is difficult to imagine how despond
ent w e a ll became, knowing that she
must die, aud unable to give her any
relief. 1 had spent over five hundred
dollars w ith the best medical skill to
lie had, aud felt that there was no fu r
ther hope.
“ One day I happened to read an ad
vertisement of 8. 8. 8., recommending
this remedy for cancer, aud in view of
the failure of the most em inent physi
cians in the country I confess I had lit
tle faith left in any human agency.
However, I purchased a bottle of 8. 8.
S ., and to my delight it seemed to ben
efit her; after she had taken a couple
of bottles, the cancer liegau to heal,
and as astonishing as it may seem a
few bottles more cured her entirely.
You can probably better understand
how remarkable this cure was when 1
explain that the cancer had eaten two
holes in the breast two inches deep.
These healed up entirely aud although
ten years have elapsed, not a sign of
the disease has ever returned aud we
are assured of the permanence of the
enre, w hich we at first doubted.
“ I certainly regard S. S. S. as the
most wonderful remedy in the world,
and it is tru ly a God-send to those
afflicted w ith this terrible disease. Yes,
s ir,” he concluded, “ you m ay be sure
that I shall alw ays be grateful to that
remedy, for w ithout it my home would
now be desolate and my children
