Troglodytes, cave men, living In 'belr cave dwellings, are to lie tumid in Mexico, tin* Cuunry Islands. In the Crimea, as well as In Spain, France. Italy and Ting land, according to Harold J. Sbepstone. in the Wide World Magazine, l lie Ituliun troglodyte dwellings nr Itari are tittle more tlmn houses which it has been found simpler to cut out of the soft rock rather than to go to the trouble of collecting building materials. The chief headquarters of the Spanish troglodytes is the village of Hurgasot, near Valencia. Their dwellings are practically entirely beneath the ground. Many of these dwellings have been recently excavated and offer a fair standard of comfort, often having n handsome palm tree in front of the
entrance.
Throughout the whole of Crimea there are endless successions of cave dwellings, hut the only ones still Inhabited are In Inkerrnann. n name which Itself means “cave castle." There are vast holes and cozy rooms, with ledges of stones which were doubtless bedsteads- In prehistoric times. There Is also a wonderful cave church, fitted with columns, a choir loft and elaborate sarcophagi. The altar and the cross are of so nnique a form that antiquarians are unable to connect them with any known sect.
WEAR DEAD HUSBAND’S SKULL
Andaman Widow* Carry Grewtome Relic for Full Year, and Then Take Another Mate. Widows In the Andaman Islands mourn on the death of their husbands by detaching the Jaws of the dead, placing tin heads on a platform in a tree for the birds to pick, then cleaning and ornamenting them with shells and wearing them on their backs for a yenr. even while working. At the end of the year they are free to marry again. The widow has a warrior picked out for her by the ehief, and he is usually accepted by her at sight. Then she goes to some lone spot, buries tier beloved skull and returns to the camp to feust and dance. She soon, however. returns to the skull and spends a week hi praying and fasting in its company, after which the skull is unearthed nri’l brought to the village, where It is stuck on a pole and made to look on at u scene of fimp ting and dancing. When the tun t riage ceremony is over the skull is buried somewhere and forgotten. The dead man is of no importance to the tribe. At the banquet the people gorge themselves and whirl and dance like mad things to the sound of the yemngit. a native Instrument, until they drop one by oue from sheer exhaustion. Alexandria Modern City. Alexandria, founded by the world eonquerer, Alexander the Great, is an Egyptian city that Is eager to lose its connection with the far away past and become completely modernized. Fate fnvqrs this ambition, for the wonders that Cleopatra knew have been eaten hy fire or swept away by the sea. Alexandria is a city of trade and fashion, dominated hy prosperous Europeans too deeply absorbed in the stock exchange to he even vaguely Interested In the roiuiiutic* side of their

Except for a few ..•■Itors who have read a little history and are wildly inquisitive regarding CleopatiT’s palace and I’ompey's pillar, the ruins of Atexnndriii rest peacefully, unphotographed and urn-hipped by souvenir hunters. One thing against the popularity of Alexandria’s ruins is their I scantiness. For the most port, they I consist of a few curved stone* ami some “sites."
Crusoe’s Famous Abode, in the Caribbean, Described as a Place of
Many Attractions.
Tobago, the scene of Robins ,n Crusoe's story, and the one-time res idence of .1 ohu Raul Jones, is an l> land of supreme beauty nestling In ■he Caribbean, whose stormy history Is without parallel In the bloodstain 1 ed annals of the West Indies.

The Jus tice of Tobago’s claim tn be called Crusoe's island is unquestionable. De foe's hero was one Alexander Selkirk in real life. That he was maronoed ns related Is an historical fact. The natives can even show one the caves in which he dwelt, and from no other isle could the castaway have peered forth across the waters ot the “Culph of Oronnqne." to which he refers, and see the faint outlines of the "Island of TriBiilad." as stated in Ids story.

sheet over the clothes horse—a real sea bath or swim in a “gym" pool have been the stepping stones of progression for most of us to ihe modern con-
venience*.
This bathing idea started with Bible folk, who built the most wonderful swimming pool the world has ever seen In Solomon's temple. This “molten sea" measured ten cubits frutr, brim to In im. five cubits In height and was round In compass; the thickness was a hand’s breadth, aud the brim, shaped like that of a teacup, was i-arved with lilies and leaves. The immense basin was borne aloft by 12 carved oxen, three each facing north, south, east and west. The pool i received and held ,'t.lXWI bathers at oue j time and was designed for and used | by high priests, there being 2o.0dli baths of wine uml the same number of oil provided for the laymen.—ludlunnpolis Star.
to correct the unfavorable conditions of exchange. When the great loans that are expected have been made, the situation will be Improved and a much greater volqtne of typewriter exports Is looked for as a result of the credits. Europe needs among other things modern office methods. She will be helped In effecting this Improvement, because the prices of writing machinehave not increased nearly as much as those of other products, partly perhaps because the prices were unduly high before the war. Improvement is the order of the day. and the tendency will become ever more marked as the golden age comes ou.
