MORE MAMMOTH REMAINS FOUND IN ONO. -
A correspondent of the Cleveland Herald writes
that several bones of some huge animal have
been discovered in low piece of swampy ground
in MOntville, Geauga County, Ohio. He says:
The bones found at the present writing are
as follows: Two tusks, two hip bones, forty ribs,
ten joints of the back bone, two joints of the
tail, &c. The excavation is still being carried on
with some degree of energy, in hopes of discov-
ering if possible, the skull and what other bones
may remain. The bones already discovered are
of different sizes, some being quite small, al
though of the same shape as the longer ones.
This would seem to indicate that two or more Of
the same species must have found burying-place
in this swamp. The tusks, or horns as some are
pleased to call them, can not by any manner Of
being some inches longer than the other, and the
curve in each differing considerably. The last
one found, which is the longest aud most perfect,
measures seven feet and four inches; about six
inches of the length is supposed to have beer
broken of. The length from tip to tip across
the curve, is four feet six inches; width of
curve, two feet three inches. The hip bones
when placed together in the manner of life,
measure four feet SIX inches from tip to tip. The
hip bones were found imbedded in the hard
pam at distance Of some eight feet below the
surface, directly beneath partially decayed tree,
which had matured to about four feet in diameter,
and become by some means broken Off leaving
stump four feet high; this in its turn had become
gradually covered entirely over with the loamy
earth, and almost directly above the first stump
another tree had grown, and at the time of The

had matured to about six inches in diameter, and

my opinion there is heap of sympathy
wasted on "poor women" Is 1t any
harder for hired woman to go into the

advertising on this point. The answers
were: This one don't want to go into the
kitchen, it is too hot. Another don't like
the country. That one prefers housework.
And SO it goes and so country people
have to slave their lives out, even if they
have plenty of means. This applies to all
the country people in the State. 1 can
find plenty Of men willing to work, but
not one woman. Why is this 1t is be-

A Bunker Love-Feast.

A correspondent OF the Philadelphia Pres
gives an animated account Of visit to the

He thus describes their lovefeast:"
The Loyefeast tables spread, the fasting family

washing This vas the more remarkable, because
the Testament, their rule Of action, relates that
supper being ended, Jesus washed the disciples
feet.
The Bishop arose in his place at the table, and
lamp in one hand and book in the other, read in
German the account Of the feet-washing in
Johns Gospel.
-Four men who stood in front Of him watching
his words, started when he said legte seine
Kleider ab," Gaid aside his garments,) and in
imitation of Jesus, took of their coats, and, as
the Scripture says, He took towel and girded
himself, they, or two of them, put on long white
aprons tied around the waist. Two washed feet
and two wiped, and then he who was thus minis
tered unto was kissed by one or both of the
mnstering brethren. l was little surprised
that two should perform that office, which Jesus
is said TO have performed alone, but Mrs. R. told
me that as the church was one body, it was con-
sidered that it made no difference to have two
persons.
The four who had ministered took their seat
and were served in their turn, four others taking
their places, and so on. Upon the sisters side
of the house on front bench, the sisters
were, in a similar manner, performing the same
ordinance.
At length they broke their fast From two
to four persons, each with q spoon, ate together
from one pan of soup, very quietly, so to speak,
the absence of sound proceeding in part from the
absence Of earthen plates. Then they cut from
the meat and from the quarter loaves, and par
took of the butter-these being all the food.
There was no salt, nor any other condiment.
The occasional bowl was for water. suppose
hat most persons would think that there had
,een enough kissing of the kind but about this
line young Bishop, an assistant, stood up at
he centre of the main tables, and after some
emarks shook hands with the sister upon his
eft and kissed the brother upon his right, and
rom brother to brother, and from sister to sister,
he kiss went round the congregation.

INTERESTING ASTRONOMICAL DIsoorERy.-Pro-
fessors Hardness and Hale, of the Washington
Observatory, have lately succeeded in obtaining
a spectrum of Encke's comet, now rapidly APP
preaching its perihelion. The lines obtained in
dictate that the substance of this comet consists
of glowing cloud of gas-of what elements COM
posed, we are not informed, or indeed whether the
spectrum showed itself to consist Of any of the
elements known on the earth. The fact of the
gas being in highly heated condition, however,
instead of existing at a comparatively low tenn
perature is of itself an interesting fact-f such
has been shown. This comet is evidently under.
going great changes in its physical condition as
in 1929 it was seen with a light-intensity of l.
3 In 1865 it had light of 2. 3 On the 18th
of October last, its light was 10. The present is
about the most favorable time of its orbit to OBJ
serve it, as it reaches its perihelon on the 29th
of this month.

To PRESERVE STEEL FROM Rusr. The best
substance for preserving polished steel from rust
is pure parafine The steel should be warmed
sufficiently to melt the parafine, which should,
however, be already in a melted condition. lay
the parafine on with brush or rag, and wipe it
carefully off with very dry and warm rag. The
thin coat of parafine left adhering to the metal
after the process will not be perceptible to the
eye; being solid, it does not leave the greasy
feeling that remains when oil or tallow has been
used; it does not affect 10 the slightest degree
the color of the object; and we think it would
prove excellent for the protection of a fine gun
barrel from the action Of damp and saline

in, especially in large towns and cities, and has
very injurious influence upon the functions of the

PRoPosED NEW Postal DEPARTNENT.-A no.
vel device for aiding the revenue has just been
propounded BY Mr.. W. H. Walker, of Bow.
This gentleman proposes that the stamping in
struments used by the Post Office officials in
marking letters should be made to answer a double
purpose, by imprinting along with the post
mark some brief advertisement arranged round
the margin of the ordinary impression. The same
idea, with some notifications, is extended to the
impressed stamp. 1t is stated that by perfect
ly practicable arrangement all the letters deliver
ed in any particular district would be made to
bear any specified advertisement, the words being
Of course, few in number. Thus the Post-ofice
authorities might engage with au advertiser to let
his announcement appear on all the letters de-
livered in Brighton, or Edinburgh, or Dublin du-
ring single day, or for a longer term or the
London delivery might thus be utilised. 1t is
thought that the mails for foreign countries might
be made available in the same way. Surprising
that plan of this kind can be practically be de-
veloped without interfering with the efficiency o.
the Post-ofice, it certainly promises the advan-
tage of vast revenue in q form which will d.
rectly relieve the burden of taxation. The idea
is at least Ingenious, and in clever and willing
hands might be turned to good account.

a CURIOUS EXPERIMENT was tried with
some murderers in Russia. They were
placed, without knowing it, in beds where
persons had died of cholera, but they did
not take the disease. After short time
had elapsed, they were then told that they
were to sleep in beds in which persons
had died of malignant cholera; but the
beds in reality were new and had never
been used at all. Nevertheless, three of
them died Of the disease within three
hours.
