In Yazoo county, Miss party OF
hunters killed a deer that had a hu
man skull impaled on a prong Of his
horn, supposed to be that Of negro.
The prong had entered the cavity
occupied in life by the eye, and had
grown up around the bone, showing
the skull had not been put on recent
ly. There are various conjectures
rs to how It got there, but the most
valent opinion IS that the animal
was wounded and brought to bay by
a negro, and had killed the latter in
thu conflict which ensued, the prong
entering the eye and piercing the
brain. The body Of the deer showed
other wounds. lie was about as
large as q two year old calf.

A Strange Stor,

The Strathmore family is one of the
Oldest in Scotland, and its head has
been an earl ever since 1923. A cor
respondent of the Mail and ETpreSs
writes that for four generations there
has been mystery at Glamis castle
which no one has ever been able to
fathom. Some said it was a ghost,
others mysterious hidden treasure
but rumors Of more or less uncanny
nature floated round the country and
have done so for about ninety-three
years. Four earls of Strathmore have
seated themselves in ancestral state at
Westminster, and yet all the while the
real earl, the eldest of the family, was
alive, hidden in the vast old feudal
palace at Glamis. He died only last
year, aged ninety-two years, and he
was a monster. He stood eight feet
in height. His head and the upper
part OF his body resembled that of a
toad. His skin was marked with
black and white splotches, and his
hands were webbed. He could not
speak or hear, but his eyes were bright
but wild. He never showed signs of
reason, and in order to avoid legal diff
ficulties this horror was hidden in a
building erected on purpose. His jail
ers were paid handsome annuities to
keep silent. AS each earl succeeded to
the estate he was taken to see this ter
rife creature, and it is said that one of
these gentlemen almost lost his reason
in beholding the loathsome and ggan-
tic horror. Last year the poor wretch
died and the secret has come out, owing
to difficulties concerning the disposal
of the remains.

HEALTH HINTS,

Perspiration of the feet may
generally be relieved by washing the
feet night and morning in salt and
water, and afterward applying little
olive oil.
A remedy for dryness of throat will
be found in a small piece of muriatc
of ammonia, about ten or fifteen
grains every two hours. Use the best
quality, and allow it to dissolve slowly
in the mouth.
To remove a foreign body from the
esophagus or windpipe, take slender
whale5one and attach to one end a
piece of linen thread; pass this end
down below the foreign body and then
pull on the thread, this will bring the
whalebone into the form of a V; it is
then withdrawn, bringing with it the
obstruction,
To prevent the hair from falling out
try first wetting the head at night with
salt and water. Have the salt dis
solved in the water, so that it will no.
annoy you by particles sticking to your
hair. Mild sage tea is also excellen'.
If these remedies do not effet t a speedy
cure try this: Get a little bottle cf
brandy, and put in all the salt that it
will absorb; wet the head with this
two or three times day.

Peter CoOper,s Views.

The following letter was written by
Peter Cooper to Mr.. f. f. Gladwin, of
Brooklyn, not long before the aged
philanthrOpist's death
Mankind will improve and better
their condition just in proportion as
they come to see know and understand
that what man, a community,
State or nation soweth, that must they
also reap somewhere, somehow and at
some time, and that by the operation
of reign of benehcent laws, designed
in infinite wisdom for the use and the
elevation of mankind. Man without
knowledge is a soulless body; without
science he is a straying wanderer.
Science is knowledge demonstrated by
the actual experience of mankind.
Dewitt Clinton, in a moment of in
spiration, uttered this sentiment F:
Pleasure is shadow, wealth is vanity,
power is pageant but knowledge is
ecstatic enjoyment, perennial, un-
limited in space and infinite in dura
ton

An Ancient Dungeon.

In some excavations on the site of
the old Norman castle at Bungay,
England, the other day, the workmen
came on a slab of stone which was
found to weigh over half ton. This,
on removal. disclosed spiral stone
staircase. At its foot was vault,
forty-eight feet long by thirty wide,
supported on two rows of Norman
columns. Judging from the remains
of chains and fragments of bones at
one end of the vault, it is presum d it
was used as the dungeon Of the castle,
in which it is record ID that Sir Hugh
Biggott practiced great crutlties in the
reign of King Stephen. In the re-
mainder of the vault were portions Of
armor, fine battle-axes in wonderful
preservation, and crock or earthen-
ware vessel containing large guam
tity of silver coins, the value of which
it wasimp, ssible to Judge, their weight
alone being over thirteen pounds.

.Waltham watches, we may mention
that we have seen letter from the
Commander of the Gordon Castle Cas-

fortunate enough to save life at sea,
and who for his gallant conduct was
presented in September last with
Gold Keyless Waltham Watch by the
President of the United States, on be-
half of the London Local Marine Board.
Referring to this Presentation Watch,
he says "When l left London the
watch was six seconds fast, and on my
arrival at Singapore it was only three
seconds slow, a most extraordinary
performance for a watch, as / carried
it on my person che whole time.

Two young farmers--William Moss
and Duggan Points, the former resi-
dent Of Loveland, and the latter of
Honey Creek, both small stations
on The Chicago and Northwestern
raih Sad, in Iowa-were rivals for the
hand of a young woman named Sallie
Craig. The young woman would
favor one man and then the other, and
several times the men had quarreled
bitterly on her account. Finally they
met at dance and came to blows.
They were separated, and girl was
asked to determine the question by
choosing the one she liked best. She
was unwilling TO do SO, but said She
would go with the one who proved
himself the best man. It was accord
ingly agreed that time and place
should be fixed, and there the men
should fight it out, the one who vas
whipped TO forever relinquish all claims
to the hand of the cause of the trouble.
The dispute by this time had been so
widely talked of by the people of Love
land and Honey Greek, that a neutral
jealousy b tween the two places easily
caused the citizens Of each to take sides.
The place of the fight was agreed upon
as half way between the respective
places. A man from Loveland second
ed Moss and Points brother acted as
his second. The fight was not to be con-
ducted according to any specified rules,
but in the most approved rough-and-
tumble style. When the appoint
ed afternoon arrived about sixty
people were on the ground, among
whom was the girl over whom
the contest was caused, to witness the
brutal affair The seconds stood with
cooked revolvers in hand and warned
no one to interfere. The men COM
menced fighting fiercely. They used
fists, heels and teeth, and in clin hing
and tumbling about rolled over large
area of ground. The fight lasted
\hfty-five minutes, and throughout was
one of most rutal character. II was
brought to fatal conclusiop by p int's
strength entirely giving away, and
then Moss, with the last efforts of his
madness, stamped upon his prostrate
foe and crushed in his breast and
kicked in his head. The spectators at
this overpowered the seconds an |
dragged the men apart. Points was
dying when picked up and expired
soon afterward. Moss had been severe
ly bitten by his antagonist, having had
two fingers, an ear and his nose taken
off, and was in deplorable condition
from other injuries. He was not eX-
pected to live. The whole country
was greatly excited over the affair, and
it was thought that severe justice
would be dealt out to the woman who
caused the trouble and the seconds
who kept spectators from separating
the combatapts.
