A CHASTITY Mystery.

New Haven, little village situated six A;,sss
east of Fott Wayne, Ind, is agitated by tse
discovery Of two human skeletons in clump
of bushes on farm located close to the Mar,
NEE river. They were lying rather huddled u {
together, and had evidently not been disturbed
since they we're placed there, unless, perhaps,
by vultures. A close examination, made b.
physicians, revealed the fact that the skeletn II
were those Of a man and q woman, Why =
the side of the bones. The man, in life. was an
unusually large-sized and well-developed person,
while the woman must have been about the
medium size. Of course these discoveries
caused great sensation at New Haven. The
entire population has viewed the skeletons, and
many theries are advanced on the subject. The
place where the bones were found is weird,
unfrequented spot, along the bank of the river,
where neither man nor beast is seen once a
year. Who the parties were, or how they met
their fate, is mystery which can not be readily
solved

NORTH CAROLINA, like many other Southern

Gently adjudicated ON a case Of this kind which
involved the question whether an agent for a

right to sell machines of different patent with

therevenue act: ss@tsass'A s;sE@
Every person.. company Or manufacturer
who shall sell or offer for sale any sewing
machines in this state, shall first pay to the

ONE of the most serious criticisms passed
upon the Atalanta catastrophe is this: There
canbe no question Of the criminal folly OF send
ing some 800 lads who had never been to sea be-
fore in training ship without sufficient num-
Der of trained and experienced seamcn to take
charge of her in exceptional circumstances.
The ships company Of the Atalanta numbered
only about eleven able seamen; and when one
considers that young lads are frequently afraid
to go aloft in a gale to take down sail. and that
they are just as often incapacitated by sea-sick-
ness at the moment that their services are most
required, special danger attaching to the At
Atlanta becomes apparent.

FORMERLY it was considered that all the
supply of salt must come from the seaboard,
but of late years developments in salt wells and
springs also the Great Salt Lake, have changed
the order of supply, in great measure, SO far as
the west is concerned. The salt industry Ill the
state of Michigan alone is very considerable. 1t
Is now claimed that the Saginaw district is the
second largest lt-producing section in the
Union. There were 1859 we'll. in operation in
1879, producing 2,o55,o4 barrels, oman average
of 2,160 barrels to each well, and 81 new wells
will be in use this year. The product has in
creased from 1927, 200 barrels in 1874 to 1861
600 barrels in 1877. and prabably 1900, 600 in
