Mammoth Remains.

In 1924 party of Americans, led
by P. Pavy, left San Francisco to en-
deavor to reach Wrangel Land in the
Arctic Sea. They landed near the
mouth of a large river running from
the N. w., and about eighty miles in
land, observed many indications of
mammoth remains. On clearing away
the snow from one of the spots, the
whole of a well-preserved animal of
this genus was exposed to view. The
head was beset with long thick white
hair, and the tusks, eleven feet eight
inches in length, were curved back.
wards towards the eyes. The animal
was in a kneeling position, the hinder
part of the body being deeply buried
in the snow, and in such an attitude
as it would take if it had died while
endeavoring to extricate itself from the
bog. In its stomach was found barl
and grass. These remains were dis

EGYPT

GQ i -
A letter from Cairo, Egypt, publish
ed in the Philadelphia Press, gives the
following list of American officers in
the army of the Khediye:
Major General Watt, on leave of alb
sence preparatory to retiring; Briga-
dier General Loring. Brigadier Gener-
al Seisler, Brigadier General Stone,
chief of staff, stationed at Cairo; Col.
Alexander Reynolds and Col. Frank
Reynolds Gather and son,) Col. Ken
non Col. Janifer, Col Purdy- This
gentleman, it is sad, i going into At
RIGA to DR.. Livingstone, as bearer of
dispatches from the Khedive; Lieut..
| Col. Long, Lieut.. Col. Dunlap, Lieut..
TCol. Mason, Maj. Campbell, Colonel
Rhett, Gen. Trevis, who has recently
joined the army as director of the
school; Maj. Pritchet.
The Egyptian army is said to be in
excellent condition, and it is supposed
that the Khedive contemplates, unless
prevented by the great Powers, throw
ing off the yoke of the Sultan and even
taking Constantinople. The CORES
pondent referred to, says:
Cali his private soldiers are taught
to read and write the schools are un-
der the immediate direction of Gener-
al Loring, and the non-commissioned
officers must possess fair education.
The khedive has an immense private
fortune, and spends his money liber-
ally.
GA few weeks before | arrived, three
of his sons were married and daugh-
ter betrothed. The ceremonies of the
occasion are descibed as having ex-
ceeded in magnifcence the wonders
of the Arabian Knights. Gold was
showered by beautiful Circassian slaves
upon the crowd. The coin was pecu-
liar and had been struck off for the oc-
casion. One lady found six jewels in
the folds of her dress and in her hail
upon returning home. The young
Princess wore dress entirely of point
lace, with train many yards long
and was in every other respect gorge
ously arrayed. Her whole bodice
back and front, from waist to neck
was covered with diamonds. Some
say that the Khedive is eating up The
resources of the government, and tha
in few years Egypt will be reduced
to bankruptcy, while others declare
that he pays all from his own purse
He is given to huge expenditures ant
it is hoped, ~for the country's sake
that the latter speak the truth. Like
his kind, while liberal, he is hare
master to the lower classes, and taxe
them numerically"

Itfollows that it would not be profit
able to keep hens after their fourth
year, as their produce will not pay-for
their keeping except when they are of
valuable and scarce breed.
To begin with, we may doubt the
possibility of making an accurate
count of the number of oyisacs in the
ovaries, or of affirming that no new ones
make their appearance out of minute
germs or cells in the course of the
life of the hen. In the next place such
a limitation must have reference to the
actual constitution of the fowl, and
this either in it's wild or tame condi-
ton. If to the former, the number. of
oyisacs, even if definitely ascertained,
can. have no connection what eyerwith
the habit of the hen, since she lay in
a wild state only as many eggs as she
can cover; if to the tame fowl, it is
strange to find SO definite rule laid
down for an animal that is, in the
highest degree, Of an artificial charac-
ter, and whose nature is, in many
points, constantly being remade.- The

Now, the growth of national wealth
is only about three and one-eighth per
cent. per annum, Notwithstanding the
assertion of those who have placed it
much higher, through comparing the
old valuations with the new (Which
have been greatly increased), instead
of taking as the basis of their calcula-
ton, as they should have done, the &C
tual number of horses, cattle, hogs,
sheep, etc., etc., at the different periods.
It is plain, therefore, that the great
mistake most men make is in attempt
ing to use borrowed capital at an i'm
mensely high rent, ordinarily termed
interest, which, by the use of gold as
currency, is often forced still higher
While the growth of the national wealth
remains at the present rate, the average
man who attempts to pay even seven
per cent, for all the capital he can get
should not expect to avoid bankruptcy
as the result.-Eczectic Magazine.

Number Of Eggs that a Hen can Lay.

We copy the following item, which
has been, for long time, going the
rounds of the agricultural press, show
ing how little scientific attention has
been ordinarily bestowed upon the sub
ject of poultry-keeping. It has been
ascertained that the ovarium of a fowl
is composed of 600 ovules of eggs;
therefore a hen, during the whole Of
her life, cannot possibly lay over 900
eggs which in the natural course are
distributed over nine years, in the fol-
lowing proportions g.

FIVE STEPS TO THE GALLoWs.-t

FIVE STEPS TO THE GALLoWs.-A
man who had committed murder, was
tried, found guilty and condemned to
be hanged.
A few days before his execution, he
drew upon the wall of his prison cell
a gallows with five steps leading up to
it.
On the first he wrote disobedience
to parents.
The second step, Sabbath breaking
On the third step, gambling and
drunkenness.
On the fourth step, murder.
On the fifth step was the platform
on which the gallows stood.

history of many a wasted and lost life

The other republics of Europe are

recently sprung into existence, and the
future of which is yet problem. And
now there are signs that Norway, Den

the republican spirit in its practical
manifestations. In Norway royalty
has long been little. but an empty
name, and in Denmark the palace is
more and more an unpopular institu7

In Hildreth's "History of the United

four dollars ($24) and this only about
two hundred and fifty years ago. And
yet, if the purchasers could have Sc

The Eight Hour Enforcement League
Meeting for Organization Last Night
The Internatfonalfsts and the Move
ment-A Universal Strike Proposed.
An adjourned meeting OF the workngmen who
are DESTROYS OF organizing the Eight Hour En-.
forcement Leagueu was held last evening at the
Germania Assembly Rooms. There was very
small attendance, there not being in the room at
any one time more than tnirssy persons. The ma
jority OF these were prominent members OF the In.
ternatonal League, and the time OF the meeting
was largely occupied with discussions as to the
real object OF the movement whether II was po-
litical or not.
The Committee on redentals appointed at the
last meeting, namely-Messrs. Keys. Banks ana
Carson, were not present Credentials were re-

he should decline to serve on committee on cre-

the enforcement OF this eight hour law. He did not
