Prehistoric Giants.
Wear the Mediterranean coast, not far
from Nice. are some grottoes which are
remarkable for the prehistoric reinains
found in them. The value of these
grottoes as:a.field of prehistoric researcn
was recognized twenty years ago They
were at that time purchased by Mr
Emile Riviere, who, iowever. neglected
to work them, and sold them again toa
quarry master. who, on removing some
of the rock. unearthed some of the re
mains. Since then the grottoes have
been in litigation mnch of the time ‘and
no one has been able properly to investi
gate them.
At present three skeletons found there
are figuring in the iaw courts One 18
of a man whose estimated height is7
feet 9inches. The head of the skeleton
is missing. Another is the skeletoti of a
woman 6 feet 3 inches tall, and the third
is the remains of a youth

These added

to the present time in these Caves The
Italian government has not aftempped .
to exercise any rights 1u the matter
Cp to 1875 Mr. Riviere had discovered . +
the skeletons of one man and two chil
dren, which were some twenty-nine feet .
below the level of the caves and were .
surrounded by undoubted paleolithic
implements. The bed is a compact oue
of limestone. —Chicago News.
Wedded Over Her Mother’s Grave.
The most unique marriage ever performed in Baltimore took place Mon
day within the boundaries of Green
Mount cemetery over the graves of the
parents of the bride.
Colonel Hendrick von Stamp, ex-minis
ter of Denmark to the United States. a
knight of the Order of Dannebrog and
the bride was Miss Mildred Hammond
daughter of the late Genera! Hanunond
Six carriages were occupied by the wed
ding party, but the vehicles were suyy
posed to be a funeral cortege ax they
3 slowly moved through thecemetery
When the Hammoud lot was reached
the graves were strewn with flowers
and the wedding was. quickly per
formed, the bride standing upon the
grave of her mother and the groom,
upon the grave of the bride's father
The bride is of one of Maryland's oldest
: families, being a remote desceudaut ot

The Human Journey of a Lathing Nail
_ About fifty-four years ayo Washing
ton Mesahan, contractor and builder of
this place, was working at his trade
that of a plasterer,in Blair county, when
he accidentally swallowed a lathing
nail. He was very much alarmed abont
the accident at the time, but as he fell
no evil results from the extraordinary
diet. in the course of two or three weeks
he had forgotten all about it. Revently
however. Mr. Megahan has felt a peco
Har sensation in the palm of his left
hand, and one day last week he waxable
to feel the outline of a small nail. and
then it was that he remembered having
swallowed the lathing nail fifty-four
years before. Thé nail is rapidly work
ing its way through the flesh of his
hand, and when it has worked up ander
the skin Mr. Megahan will havea physi
cian remove it.—Somerset Herald.
One Year's Work.
At the twentieth anniversary festival
of the Provident Surgical Appliance so
ciety in London, Dr. Bond in the course
of his speech said that he knew of only
one case dealt with by the society iu
which any dissatisfaction was given. A
young woman was fitted with a Roman
nose, but the boys of the college, noticing the change, made her life unbear
able. She besought the society to help
her, and wassupplied with a pretty little
retrousse nose «so attractive that all her
coinpanions were made envions, and
several offers of marriage were insured.
Dr. Bond's society last year_distributed
no fewer than 6,228 artificial armns, legs,
teeth and noses.—London Letter.
Stopping.« Customer En Route.
A Maryland farmer who was waiting
for the train to leave for New York
was accosted by Detective McDevitt
who finally learned that the gentleman
from the rnra! districts was going to
New York with $400 in his pocket to
buy “green goads." The farmer said
that the agent of the green goods mau
world meet him at Summerville. Me
Devitt sent the farmer back to his fam
ily and saved him the loss of his money
and the expenses of his trip. He says
tha: men may be seen at the depots
every day on their way to deal in green
goods. — Washington Star. :
