u" The Tomb of AttNa. “~ ™ .

Brosseis is ‘‘enthusing’’ over the sar-

cophagus of Attila, which turned up casually the other day in sinking the foundations of the new exhibition. They

call it a very remarkable discovery, ard will question that. The day when Attila’s grave is found will be an epech in history, but we do not expect to hearof it in Belgium or to read the account in @ newspaper paragraph. When the people of Athens went mad oo over areport of Alexander’s death, Phocion declined to believe it,

no one

for, said he, ‘‘if Alexander were dead the mre would reek ‘with the smell;’’’ so, if Attila’s or Alaric’s tomb

were eigaeueh eal and culture through-

@ut the world would be convulsed, for in those spots lie the choicest treasures of Creece and Rome, such as had sur- vived, : ad there is excellent reason to think that they are those which we

should most specially value, for the quantity of gold and silver plate in each case was described as enormous, and for generations before that time Romans had little enough to spend on new arti- cles of luxury.

It follows that the vast hoard must have been old, mostly. But there is no reasonable hope that Attila’s tomb will ever be found. We only know that he was buried somewhere beside the Dan- ube at a depth far beyond the reach of the plow. If by some lucky chance a canal should be dug across the spot, the bones of the slaughtered slaves or other indications may turn up, and if they be noticed by intelligent persons the work may be carried deeper. That appears to be the only hope. But the resting place of Alaric is known. There would be no difficulty and small expense in open’ng it. That the effort has never been made is a scandal.—London Standard,

German Needles.

One af the industries in which the Germans have made very remarkable, if quiet, progress during recent years is that concerned with the manufacture of needles. We have been so accustomed to iead in this direction and to suppose that we alone are fitted to lead that it must come as an unpleasant surprise to learn that last year the Germans export- ed 2, 800, 000 pounds of these small but indispensable articles as compared with 1,830,000 pounds in 1895. As showing the rate at which the export side of the German business has grown we may state that ir the eight years 1880-7 the

shipmicuts were 11,615,000 pounds, and in the following eight years ending with 1895 15,624,000 pounds. That the

figures are still on the increase may Le inferred from the details which

patronage.—

A Parisian Frolic. This bit of absurdity comes from France:

The latest whim of a French society woman is to give a bal noirin thecrypt of her chateau, a sort of funereal dance, the walls of these underground regions being hung with black and lighted with silver lamps containing green fires. The lady guests were arrayed in black satin or silk with trimmings of jet or stripes of silver. Each lady received a wreath of immortelles and each gen- tleman a boutonniere of the same. A portion of the programme consisted of dauses macabres, and the hostess, who sings beautifully, sang a ‘‘dirge,’’ dressed in a black crepe de chine em- broidered with silver tears. Another la- dy danced a ‘‘pas final,’’ accompany- ing herself with castanets made of ‘hu- man leg bones, and supper was finally served at small tables, to the mournful strains of funeral dirges from the or- gan, all the guests maintaining pro- found silence throuehont the repast. Afterward dancing went on again until daybreak.

A QUAINT VILLAGE,

THE ODD FOLK IN AN OLD FASHIONED NEW ENGLAND TOWN,

There 1s No Caste, and Almost Perfect

Fouality Exists—Far From the Busy,

Bustling World and Free From Its Many Disagreeable Features,

Nobody starves to death in our village, but some of our mountain folk who live far away on byroads, in places which :are eften inaccessible in winter, are very poor, ill nourished and ill clothed. However, the prevailing tome in Asher Dill’s store and in the village generally is a humorous one, a tone of irony and of good natured sareasm. Almost everybody cultivates a

| fine sense of humor—in fact, to be humor- | ous, and especially to be good at repartee,

| where,

ts she one intellectual ambition of the com- munity. Wedo not care much for learn- ing of any sort. Our letters, which we put off writing till about six months after they are due, do not excel in grammar or penmanship. And it is really astonishing, even to ourselves, how little we care for what goes onin the outside world. We read the papers with only a languid inter- est, being more concerned about the trivial events in the next town, duly chronicled in the county paper, than we are about what is said or done in Washington, in London orin Paris. But the sense of hu- mor is developed among us in childhood and is never lost, even in momentsof diffi- culty or of danger.

Last Fourth of July a desperate charac- ter who lives on a mountain goad in the outskirts of the town drove into the yil- lage ina little rickety cart, waving over his head a woman’s broken and battered sunshade, which he had picked up some- He was very drunk, and before long the cart was upset. His horse, a half broken colt, kicked and plunged and tried torunaway. ‘The fellow pluckily clung to the reins and was dragged about on the ground hither and thither, being finally extricated from the ruins of his cart. But through it all he kept the sunshade in his han d. ‘‘I don’t care anythirg about my- self,’’ he said, as he was assisted to his feet, the eh streaming from his face, nor about the hoss, nor about the cart, but I wuz determined to save beauitful parasol.’’

To discuss why this humorous spirit should be the prevailing spirit in an An-

this

| glo-Saxon community of Puritan descent

| but I must content myself

would be a difficult though pleasant task, here with the obvious remark that it could not exist ex-

| cept in connection with an ample back-

ground of leisure. Our village—perhaps this cardinal fact ought to have been stated at the outset—enjoys a blessed immunity from railroads. The nearest station is ten miies off, and the mails come by stage, which arrives anywhere between 7 a. in. and midnight—except on some nights in winter, when it does not arrive at all, be- ing prevented by snow storms. Our man- ners, though a little brusque, are good, as manners always are ina community which has no ‘‘social superiors.’’ HKvery man in the village who is not especially marked out by vice or poverty feels himself to be the equal, in all essential matters, of every other man in the world, and this feeling goesa long way toward producing that equality which it assumes. There is ab-

i. solutely no stealing among us; it would be

| hoped for,

perfectly safe to leave all your valuables on the front piazza at night, and perhaps this immunity is one result of equality. To steal isa confession of infericrity, in- tolerable among equals. (Cheating in a horse trade stands, of course, on a different footing, and may be practiced without en- tire loss of self respect.) Mr. Howells has expressed this truth. ‘‘I belle ve, * he says, ‘that if ever we have equality in this world, which so many gocd men haye theft will, be s unknown,” ‘ The absolute equality which prevails

among us has its good and bad sides. It

| makes vulgarity and snobbishness impos-

|

sible. We are », bu& never vulgar. Vulgarity implies a consciousness or semi- consciousness of inferiority, and among us, as I have said, there is no such con- sciousness. On the contrary, there is a want of reverence in the village. There is no person or group of persons to seta standard of manners or of morals for the rest of thocommunity. Nobody looks up to anybody else—not even to the minister. Age itself scarcely invites respect, and this want of reverence givesa certain hard nd flippant tone to our lives. The physi- cian stands as highas anybody in town, and yet it was only the other day that I heard him addressed by a little, dirty faced boy, not 12 years old, as ‘‘doc.’’ ‘‘Say, doc, when does the next school term be-

coarse

| gin?’’ was the inguiry mgade by this urchin

in all sincerity, and the ‘‘doc’’ gave him a

| civil answer, taking no offense at his went

| unamiable companion.

Must Work For His Legacy.

Millionaires often make eccentric wills. A certain Herr Hildesheim, a rich manufacturer of Germany, de- termined that his son and heir should at least gain some experience of the world before he entered into the em- ployment of the fortune bequeathed to him. A provision of the will contains the condition that the heir should visit every country in the world before mak- ing a home of his own. Young Herr Hildesheim is accordingly doing the necessary globe trotting as expeditious- ly as possible. But this is not all. He must also write an acconnt of his trav- els on his return, which must be sub- mitted to the approval of the professors of German literature in Bonn and Hei- delberg. Unless they pronounce it orig- and interesting and free from grammatical errors the moneybags will not come to Herr Hildesheim.

Cape Cod’s Passing.

The Boston Transeript refers to the recent indications that Cape Cod is gradually sinking cr wearing away. A few days ago workmen at the Province- town pumping station found 17 feet be- low the level of the surface of the ground aud 6 feet below the sea level a four inch stratam of mold composed of leaves, fibrous oo and frag- e trunks and branches. This weuld seem to indicate that the land for fresh water is found on the cape at a level about equal to the aca leve! at mean tides.

aaa Lnielnnechianinbeeny cer’ ann —Th: Ottawa correspondent of the St. John Sun writes: Senator Ferguson is trying to impress Sir Oliver Mowat with the necessity of preserving the purity of the bench. It seems that the enquiry into the recent St. Boniface election produced testimony that Mr. Prendergast promised to procure an elector an office in the Domi- nion government if he worked hard during the campaign. He had also given money to aperson for driving electors to the polls contrary to law. This tame Mr Prendergast, then working in the intereets of the liberal party, was until recently .a strong Oppovent of that party and of the gc vernmenut of Manitoba, Since the St. Boniface procee lings he had been appoint- edto the bench of Manitoba. Senator Ferguson thinks this has a rather import- ant bearing upon the aiministration of justice, but Bir Oliver objects to having it broucht to the senate t» so rude a way.
