Palestine Cave- Dwellers
Wonderful discoveries have been
male in the ruins of tin* ancient city
ot tie/.er. in Pa!«*"tim*. Prof. Stewart
Maealister, who now at work on tin*
"ile. has discovered the ruin." of eight
cities or period" of building there, go
ing back to ancient cave dwellers, dooO
yeai" be to: e l‘hri"t. The remains,
therefore. <>( Oono years of apparently j
almost continuous human life are seen i
• on this little bill. When a dwelling
fed down or was destroyed the new
comer bid not clear away tin* rubble, 1
but reared a fresh structure on the
ruins o: the old, and digging now deep
down through these ruins the explorer
1 of today has discovered the untouched
cremated remains of a cave-dwelling
race not acquainted with metal, aiso
the undNturbed dead of a Canaanite
tribe with bronze weapons: also ot a
Canaanite “high place.” with thej
hom " of newly born infants, sacraticed,
apparently, to some unknown deitv, or
bone" of infants buried under the cor
nets of house-walls.—London Ragle.
A Point of Law
The Roumanians are as curious in
somethings a> the Chinese. A girl
who fell into a river and was swept
down by the current finally seized a
bush ou the bank and drew herself to
shore. The owner of the land Ion
which the bush grew immediately
claimed a reward of one dollar because
his bush was there and had saved her.
Her father refused to pay and there
was a law suit. What the law had to
decic is whether people can make use
of bushes on the bank without paying
for the same, or whether the assistance
of said bushes is worth a certuin sum
of money.
In China, if a person falls into the
water no one must help'him out, but
at the same time a spectator can be
imprisoned for not advising the vic
tim to stay on dry land.—Evening
