An important archaeological discovery was made a few days ago at Worms by Koehl ltis`a burial -groundlof the'[ater' stone age. About seventy graves have been examined, and `the number of vessels found, .most of them tastefully ornamented, exceeds one hundred. Not the slightest trace of , metalhas been discovered Arm rings of f blue and gray slate were found in the graves ; of women. Three arm rings made of slate ` were removed from the upper arms of one T skeleton, four from another; and six from the lower arm of a. third. In a man's grave 1 there was on `the neck of the skeleton a small, polished ornament` of syenite, not perforated, but provided with a groove for 4 a string. Other ornaments consist of pearls and musselshells madein the form of trink- ets, perforated boars tusks and small [fossil mussels These ornaments are worn by 3 men` and women alike Ruddle and ochre 3 fragments. which were `used in tattooing p and coloring the skin, were also frequent. , In hardly a single case was missing from the women's graves the primitive corumill, con- ' sieting of two stones, a grindins stone and a grain crusher. The men's [graves contain weapons and implemerts, all of stone, with whetstones and hones for sharpening pur- ` ` poses. That there was no want of food is ' shown by many vessels, often six or eight ` in one grave, and the remains of food found `near them, the latter being the bones ,of various animals. Several photographs have been taken of the skeletons as they lie in the graves, their appearance being perfect after repose of thousands of years. 9 How Wm Ydu Explain The Following? 3 ` Mrs Alice Baker, whose" husband was } i: killed in s'.ruilrosd sccidsnt at Salids.

Iam not only going to challenge, but to deny it altogether, and to implore the age, while there is yet time to save itself, by a seasonable recantation, from posthumous ridicule and contempt. ' * My pro- position is that Mr. Tennyson is nota great poet. unquestionably a poet hi the front rank. all but unquestionably not a poet of the second rank, and probably, though no contemporary perhaps can settle that, not even at the head of poets of the third rank, among whom he must inevitably take his place. The prevailing and universal expres- sion is that he is a great poet, a very great poet, perhaps as great a poet as ever lived. This is the opinion I challenge and denounce, the opinion that will make posterity shriek with laughter and out us to scorn. ' * ` Let not the age make itself the laughing- stock of an irreverent posterity. We laugh at the contemporary of Hayley. Do we want to he laughed at by our grandchildren?

Herapath s Railway Journal, Feb. 28 :-A good deal seems to be expec ed from the new general manager of the Grand Trunk; among other things the prevention `of snow storms. That fam- iliar adjunct of the Canadian winter unfavorably affected the traic return of the past week, but a city paper was in hopes that the new `management would have spared us the everlasting chapter of excuses with which the old board had made us painfully familiar Another glib critic termed it a snow- storm traic return. That unfavorable weather is entirely accountable for the setting back is shown by the fact that whilst there is a decrease of 6,396 on the main line, the Chicago and Grand Trunk branch shows an increase of `nearly 2,000.

Interesting Court Judgment. `It has been decided for the first time in an English court that the relation between an undergraduate and his college `is not in the nature of a con- tract. A young lawyer brought an action for damages against the corpora- tion of Peterhouse, Cambridge, for re fusing him his degree some years ago, alleging that in consideration of his observing the rules, paying the fees, and passing the examinations, the college engaged to do all that was requisite to. allow him to proceed to the degree of "bachelor of arts. He was dismissed without a certicate of good standing for persistently refusing to attend chapel. He asserted that he had con- scientious scruples against the services, but refused to state what his religious principles were, and -pleaded in court that the action of the college was con- trary to the Test Act. Mr. Justice Wills held the Test Act had not been violated and that the action would not lie, "as there was not the slightest evi- dence of a contract, and the position of college authorities would be intolerable if they were liable to actions at the suit of undergraduates who objected as to matters of discipline.

A great deal of atten- tion and study has been given to this veneer industry, and its development and extension from one `line _ of . manu- factured goods to another--such as pianos, organs, sewing-machines, etc.- have been 'such that at this present time large `lines that were formerly manufactured of. `solid ma- terial are now built up, so as to be cheaper, more durable and substantial, and much lighter; and many other lines of industry a?e moving.into the using of veneer for constructive materi- al. Atrade could, it is believed. be built up reaching into millions per annum ; and as the industries provided for are increasing daily necessities. so the business would increase from year to year. The capital for the industry on a largescale, however, would have to come from England. The few large lumbering anditimber rms that are in Canada are all concerned with pine, and so special provision for capital would have to be made. rsi1Lj; K,n0wAwnat+Y_on Chcw Canada's Mineral Productlons.
