A Contingency Overlooked.

Says London letter in the New
Century for Women: II yesterday re-
ceiVed an invitation from some friends
to accompany them to see the house of
of the Duke of Westminster, to which
a limited number of persons are now
being admitted by ticket. The wealth
of the Duke of Westminster is pro-
verbal. A great part of the wealthy
and populous district of Westminster
belongs to him, and the leases of the
houses of this fashionable region hav-
ing fallen IN during the lifetime of the
present Duke, his wealth is of fabu.
lous amount. This being the case, a
story which was told by Lord Robert
Grosvenor on his return from Amer.
lea caused much amusement. While
in the West somewhere, he fell in
with Western man who, of course,
knew him only as an English stranger.
"'What do you do at home for a
living 2 asked the American.
"<Wen, l don t 10 exactly anything
was the reply.
"'Where do you get your money!
"'My father supplies me with
money!
''Well, but what would you do
said the practical American, If your
father was to bust up?''

Anecdote Of TchernayeR.

One of Tchern.yef's soldiers was
charged with cutting off two fingers in
order to render himself unfit for serv-

quarters, admitted that he had coaxed
a comrade to do him the favor. "And
you were not ashamed, asked the gen.
eral, "to abandon the field when the
Turks are on the soil of our Father

the Turks, was the reply, "but I want
to see my home again." ''Well," re-
marked the general, you shall have a
long leave of absence. Say your pray
ers. You shall be shot this moment. !"
rhe platoon advanced, and the soldier,
after making the sign of the cross,
stepped in front Of his executioner.
Suddenly he turned to the general and
placing in his hand few pieces Of
money, said, ''to be given to my wife

Brave act of An Engineer.

From the Rutland (vt) Herald.
A FEW days ago as an excursion train
of eighteen heavly-l0aded cars on the
Vermont division of the Portland &
Ogdensburg railroad had begun the
descent Of heavy grade between
St. Johnsbury and the Connecticut
river, the engineer suddenly deserted
three cattle on the track just in ad.
vance of him. To drive or brighten
them 'front.' track, or to seasonably
stop the train was impossible. Instant
ly he decided upon his course. He sent
his fireman to disconnect the engine
and tender from the train, whistled
'.down brakes" and, with full steam
on. plunged forward alone, and with
the fearful imptus thus gained threw
the cattle from the track. He then
quietly allowed the train to overtake
him again, connected it, and continued
on, his passengers knowing nothing of
the fearful danger they had escaped
by his bravery, his quick wit and his
fidelity to duty.

A TERRIBLE COUGH!

How often we hear the above re-
mark during these extreme changes of
weather. Colds, Coughs and Sore Threats
were never more prevalent among children
than now. Now we are going to urge you to
try remedy which has excited comments
by physicians all over the country, who ac-
knowledge their surprise at the wonderful
and happy results from it's use: That rem en-;
COUGH CORDIAL. Your own druggists will
tell you that it is the best cough medicine
they ever sold; and will warrant a cure or
return your money to you, in case OF failure,
after using one-half the bottle. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste, making it very de-
sirable remedy for children.

Taxing Centennial Exhibits.

TIE New York Herald is responsible
for certain statements which, if true,
will reflect seriously on this country
and considerably diminish the good
feeling brought about in Europe by the
success Of our Centennial Exhibition.
It is said that goods brought from for
|eign countries for exhibition will he
subjected to import duty when they
are re.exported, if the original pack
ages have been broken that allowance
is not made for the depreciation of the
goods by long exhibition in fixing
the duty when they are finally sold,
though this was promised that where
there has been a failure in the Consul
lar certificate to note the difference of
a deprecated paper currency in which
the value was fixed, the duty is charged
on the full valuation as if it had been
made in gold and finally, that foreign
exhibitors are subjected to much need.
less restraint and annoyance, and get
no satisfaction when they bring their
grievances to the Secretary Of the
Treasury. These statements are said
to be based upon actual complaints. 1t
will be a great pity and a scandal to
mar the success of the Centennial GEL
ebration by any petty or formal annoy
ances to foreign exhibitors; and, if
the complaints are well-founded, they
ought to be remedied without delay.
1t is desirable that the reports of our
exhibition abroad shall be as favorable
as the impression it has made on our
own people, and the Government
should do all in its power to promote
this result.

Skeletons of Gigantic Men Unearthed.

From the Kansas City Times.
The Academy of Science of this city
through some Of it's most active mem
bers, has recently made some very in
teresting discoveries upon the summit
OF the bluffs north Of and about four
miles distant from Kansas City. AS
yet, only one of these mounds has
been opened. Judge West discovered
skeleton about two weeks ago, and
made a report to other members of the
society. They accompanied him to
the mound, and not far from the sur
face excavated, and took out the re-.
mains of two skeletons. The bones are
very large-so large, in fact, that when
compared with an ordinary skeleton of
modern date, they appear to have
formed part of a giant. The head
bones, such as have not rotted away,
are monstrous in size. The lower jaw
of one skeleton is in a state of preserv.
alton and is double the size of the jaw
OF civilized person. The teeth in
this jaw bone are large and appear to
have been ground down and worn
away by contact with roots and car
niverous food. The jaw bone indicates
immense muscular strength. The
thigh bone when compared with that
OF an ordinary modern skeleton looks
like that of horse. The length, thick.
ness and muscular development is re.
markable. But the most peculiar part
of the skeleton is the forehead. 1t is
very low and differs radically from any
ever seen in this section before. It is
narrow but rather heavy ridge of
bone which, instead of extending up
wards, as it does now in these days of
civilization, receded back from the
eyebrows, forming a fat head, and
thus indicates low order of mankind.
1t is the opinion of these scientific gen.
tlemen who are making these discov-
cries that these bones are the remains
OF prehistoric men. They do not re-
semble the present existing race of In
dams, nor are the mounds constructed
upon pattern or model known to have
been in use by any race of men now in
existence in America. The bodies are
discovered in sitting posture in the
mounds, and among the bones are
found stone weapons, such as flint
knives, flint scrapers, all of them diff
ferent in shape to the arrow.heads,
war hatchets and other stone tools and
weapons known to have been in use by
the aboriginal Indians of this land
when discovered by the whites.
