DR.. Wilcox reached this city accord
ing to appointment on Friday last
with considerable portions OF the inn
] lasrse lzeleten &. iseovcred BY h ~ "a
the lower part OF Taylor county,
which he opened and displayed to the
| curious gaze OF the Governor and his
cabinet officers, the medical men of
the city, and other invited guests.
These fossil remains were displayed
in room kindly, placed at the Dr.'s
disposal by AJjutant- General Yonge,
In the basement OF the Capitol, and
were visited on Saturday by a large
number of citizens.
Words fail to express the astonish~
ment experienced by the casual OBJ
server while contemplating these
prehistoric remains of a creature
whose immense size horrible appear
ance in life can scarcely be realized or
imagined by those who see only por-
tions OF the skeleton. That it was ful>
Iy forty-feet in length, and nearly
half that high IN life, is evident from
the size of the bones and the Doc>
tors vivid description OF the position
in which they laid. A large portion
ofthe right lower jaw, which meas>
ures from to 10 inches in thickness
just belw the roots OF the teeth, and
must have originally been five or six
feet from the snout to the curve OF
tie jaw bone, best illustrates the
enormous size of the beast. The
bones of one tore>leg are nearly
perfect, and from their position, size
and the distance from foot to shoul>
der lover teeD as the remains lay
when found, show that the animal
must have had, when standing, as DR..
Wilcox graphically puts it, ''six feet
of daylight under him.
1t seems TO be generally conceded
that these are the remains ola masto~
don, somewhat similar to those found
many years ago in Wakulla Spring.
DR.. Wilcox will procure certiti>
Gates from leading officials and med-
ical men, and forward them 20 the
Smithsonian Institute, and TO scien>
lists elsewhere, with the hope that
an interest in these gigantic remains
NAV induce some expert to visit hin
and see the entire collection of bones,
and the place where they were found,
and attempt restoration, from them,
of the entire skeleton, as valuable
contribution to science and natural
history.

amount of shade or renovation trees
should invariably be left in lines,
belts or clumps-especially on bars
rem spots or exposed eminences. In-
deed, an eminences or ridge should
never be barred of original forest
growth in tropical couutry-what-
ever the cultivation may be.
The manner of raising ordinary
Coffee seedlings in beds preparatory
to planting in the field is pretty gen
orally and we'll known. The same
plan can be followed with the Lib
erian Coffee, only till the seed and
seedlings have got their first leaf,
more shading and great deal more
water will be required through the
dry months during which, the seed
being gathered at the end Of the year,
the seedlings must be raised. In fact
the very young Seeding Liberian
Coffee is semi.aquatic, and the devel-
opment OF tap root is tremendous.
The less this tap-root is interferred
with Or injured the better-aithough
it can be almost entirely removed,
and yet with shade and moisture the
young plant quickly re-established
itself.
Seedlings OF Liberian Coffee are
very liable to the turn or "doub~
ling" in the -root-properly re-
garded as Objectionable by Coffee
planters generally. This appears to
arise chiefly from the bulky character
of the young tap.root Tor radicle) and
the strong character of the parch>
ment covering the beau and by which
the. growing point OF theradicle is con

The remedy to this is tue removal Of
the parchment-though not by dry
ing, or the vitality of the seed will
be lost and laying the beans all fiat
side downwards as sown.

one pound being used to twenty

crops. Cucumbers, squashes and
turnips have already been shipped by
them to New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, and tomatoes in
abundance, will follow next month.
Several truckmen from Fairbanks
and other places on the Transit rail-.
road, are this year engaged in raising
early vegetables IN the hammocks

The mercury in the thermometer
reached SO degrees only twice the

Gated was A degrees on the morn

during the year. My alligator pears,
cherimoyas, custard apples, sapodillas

and other tropical fruits are growing
luxuriantly; and my wite's camelia

This of course is not the most des
irable habit of growth either in re-
spect of fruittIlness on a given area
or for convenience or economy in
picking the crop. 1t is entirely due
however, Ito the too shady pos
sition, 2. 0-the proximity of the Moka
Coffee trees Intoxicated, and which
also grew enormously, and 3,o-to
the plants having been raised in pots
and unavoid ably crowded together
from the first. The same Character of
growth occurred with elephants first
planted in Java, and was there -,
buted by DIR. ScheTler TO the same or
similar siI intlue Ices as those cited above.
The sarrae leggy character would OF
course result ur.der similar conditions
anywhere. especially if the young
plants be allowed to be interfered
with by weeds or other growths.
Visitors who have seen the Liber1an
Coffee as it is in Liberia however, on
seeing two of the specimens first
planted here, have remarked, "that

Mrs. GarfieId's Finances.

Interview with Clevelander.
How is Mrs Garfeld?"
She is just as modest, quiet littL-
woman as ever, though she is rich
woman now. That is to say, she is so
much richer than she ever was before
that she is considered rich by herself,
her friends and her neighbors. I would
like to take you around to see her if you
come to Cleveland. She is great pet in
her town, though she does not seem to
know it. Cleveland worships the mem
ory of Garfield.
'sWhat is Mrs. Garfield worth?"
We'll, you can sum it up. She has
$500, 900 in government bonds, the re-
suit of the subscription. Then her hus-
bands life was insured for $4,000,
which she promptly received. She was
also paid the salary of the president for
the unoccupied first year, amounting to
about $4,000. That makes $400, 600
does it not? Very well. Then add to it
about SIC, COO, the total value of fGarfeld's s
estate. That was the total amount, after
all the abuse that was received, that he
was able to rccumulate in life Of fifty
years. Isuppose that the income from this
total of more than S400,0 600 will be per-
haps SIG 900 q year. She is also put on
| the pension list at $5, 900 a year. So she
| is comfortable, and can raise her chill
| drcn well; but the loss Of Garfield was a
| blow that will leave its scar as long she
| lives. Just think of that little woman,
| almost dying at the White House, when
| lie took her to the seaside and returned
| to meet his death-wound; and she then
rallying, watching over him for months,
surviving him and heinz well to day!"

Widening the Gateway.

The condition of the rich man has be-
come greatly ameliorated since eighteen
centuries ago. 1t was once said that 1t
was easier for camel to go through the
eye of a needle than for rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven. AS no
camel could by any means get through
a needles eye, this reduced the rich
mans chance to no chance at all. But
hold. As rich men grow more numer-
ous, and as churches become more de-
pendant upon them, it was discovered
that the needles eye referred to was the
gate of a cattle corral, through which
camels passed and repassed at their
pleasure-in short, it was as easy for a
camel to go through the eye of this nee
die as it was for a scandal to 60 through
country village. The dch mans stock
has been rising ever since the discovery
and only the other day Baltimore cler-
gyman officially announced that love OF
money, instead of being the root OF all
evil, as was once supposed, is in reality
the source of all good.

ChiIdren,s Food.

Children probably suffer more than
adults from the effects of an unhealthy
diet. They are urged to eat meat, to
make them strong, whereas strength
lies rather in its avoidance. Milk is ma
ture's food for children, but modern
mother lets her children eat whatever
she does herself, from pork to mince pie;
then she wonders why her children are
puny and scrofulous, and mourns the de-
generacy of the race, which DIR. Felix
says is caused principally by unnatural
food. Truly the Spartan Gerontes would
have more than its hands full to look
after the youth Of the present, and put
out of the way all those judged physic-
ally unfit to live. The children of the
Scotch peasantry and middle class
are brought up almost entirely
upon oatmeal and milk, and make the
healthiest and sturdiest men and women.
Many little one sleeps under the
daisies who might have lived had the
mother only obeyed the simple laws of
health in the matter of food alone. I
have in mind a sickly, puny, frail babe,
now sturdy, stott-limbed boy of seven,
who owes existence to his mothers
calm insistence in the matter of diet.
He has never tasted tea or coffee, is al
lowed plenty offresh milk. is never per-
mitted TO overeat, and gets cakes, can
dies and the like but rarely. Feed the
children oatmeal, graham gems, fruit,
fresh, stewed, baked or canned, vegeta-
hles, eggs, custards, maccaroni, such sim
pie nourishing food, give. milk instead
oftea and coffee, give them little meat,
and see if there is not an improvement
| in physical and mental condition, bright
er eyes, more smiles, less tears.

. Don,ts for Husbands and Brothers


Don't suppose, when you are married
that you have come into possession of a
first class servant, endowed with ever
lasting strength.
Don't let your wife come in from the
kitchen, after preparing breakfast and
doing the milking, and find you snoring
as if to frighten the flies away.
Don't forget when you and your wife
go to town and sell the butter, that the
money belongs to her as well as to you.
Don't forget that your wife, though a
woman, has heart which feels every
slight and appreciates every tenderness,
as she did few years ago in her fathers
parlor
Don't forget, when you return in the
evening, and toss your hat on the floor,
overcoat on chair, and your dirty feet
on the fender, and wait until wife OF
sister comes in from the kitchen, tired
and suffer her to put them away and wash
the fender
Don't be too ready to give advice about
her affairs. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that a woman who has made houseWork
life study will possess a Judgment SUI
perior to one inexperienced. She will
probably ask your advice, if she thinks
you capable of answering.
Don't content yourself with reading
about national affairs, but read whatever
gives you and your wife pleasure. Dc
not allow yourself to argue, for it often
leads to quarreling.

ADying Boys Question.

DIR. Irenoeus Prime, in the Observer.
1 have just returned from the funeral
of the son, the oldest son, the first born,
ofmy friends, Rev. George Nixon and
wife, of fremont, N. Y. My sympa-
thies were very tenderly moved by the
letter the father sent me, with q request
to come to them in the hour of their
great affection. He said: "Though but Is
months old, he had a nature mind, and
was an earnest Christian. He had no
fears of dying, and we talked constantly
of his possible departure. His last night
on earth was spent in intense agony. But
in his rational moments his faith failed
not. He rose up at the time we thought
him sleeping and said: Now / want to
say the Lords prayer He repeated it
with q strong voice until the close, when
his strength failed. About half an hour
before death he looked upto his mother
and with smile said: Mother, is this
the other world?' Perhaps he was hall
waking, half sleeping when he looked
into his mothers face, and wondered
whether he was in this or the other
world! The pain of dying had ceased
The eyes of loving mother met his as
he lay in perfect peace. His
heart was full of love. and, for the mo-
ment it was SO unlike the anguish he had
been suffering, that he was at loss
to know where he was, and he made
the natural and beautiful inquiry: lis
this the other world?"

Nervousness is a rapidly growing ailment.
When there is no organic disease, its origin
is usually imperfect digestion. Hostetter's
Stomach BitJers, aremedy peculiarly effica-
cious iii cases of nervousness, acts primarily
upon the stomach, restoring itsactivity, pro-
noting the secretion of the gastric juice,
overcoming the immediate bodily disturb
ance resulting from dyspepsia, and remedy
ing that depletion of muscular substance and
strength, and the nervous symptoms which
activity of the digestive functions, nerve
qnietude returns, an increasing inability to
rest soundly is counteracted, mental despon-
dency is supplanted by a feeling of cheerful
ness and the relish for food is augmented
The remedy is safe and unobjectionable, and
may also be relied upon to overcome and
prevent fever and ague, biliousness and con-
stipation
