MEN WITH TAILS.
Prehistoric skeletons with Caudal Append
ages Found in Mexico.

A discovery which will undoubtedly
prove of immense interest to the eth
biologists has been made at a little
hamlet OF Sinaloa, Mexico, within the
past few days, while breaking ground
for a large coffee plantation which is
being established by an English syndi.
cate. The find consists OF thousands
OF skeletons, either OF large apes OIL
prehistoric human beings OF a very
low order.
Ii the remains are OF apes, they were
of gigantic size, and OF II variety no
longer extaut, while, If they are oI
men, the men were provided with dis
tinct caudal appendages, very thick
and short, and curled up like a SOUR
rel's. That they are the skeletons o
apes can hardly be doubted, judgin!
from the arms, which reach nearly hal
"A loot below the knee, and the thumbs
which are also abnormally long and
curved, with exceedingly sharp and
powerful nails.
The feet, too, show hat they wert
intended for climbing rather thar
walking and are also provided witt
claws and prehensile toes OF unusua
length. 1t is probable that lie large
number OF skeletons found are due to
a battle between two bands OF The
animals having taken place at thi:
spot, which is further evidenced by tn,
number OF broken skulls and othel
bones among them, and the fact that
several skeletons were found cllnchet
in a deadly embrace. No weapons
however. were discovered, but as tines,
were probably of wood, they have
persisted in the course OF time.
The work OF searching for other re
mains still goes on, every hour seelni
hundreds or more detached fragment
or occasionally whole skeletons I'm
earthed. 1t is calculated that owe
500 entire ones have already been dis
inferred. \ few OF the most periec
have been sent to the British museum
and others will be presented to IN

Liars Not All Dead.

A California editor had begun to
think lying was played out in the Pa
cific slope press until he encountered
the following item:
A couple OF weeks ago Mono county
farmer had 1000 barrels OF popcorn
in a barn. The barn caught fire and
the air was filled with dense showers
of popcorn. This extraordinary ex-
hibition caused an old mare in an ad-
joining field to think that winter was
at hand. So she lay down under three
feet OF popcorn and froze to death.
Eureka" he murmured, "the coun-
try is SAFE Afterward followed, in
quick succession, the veritable &C.
counts that during the past week have
e~nlivened the monotony ofthe country
crop reports and divided the honors
of public attention with the grasshop-
pers of the San Joaquin and San Jose
scale. There was the Winters woman,
whose turkeys got drunk IN branded
cherries thrown out as vast and who,
thinking them dead, plucked these
misguided birds as many another
booty bird has been plucked, and was
filled with horror some time time later
to see them recovered from their spree
walking about clad only in their own
manifest embarrassment.
There was the petrified girl from
France, found after many years with
her feet grown fast to the solid rock,
OF which she had become a part, and
who still maintains a stony silence oil
how she came so. There was the man
! who crawled into the hollow tree to
| escape the storm and who was wedged
tight by the swelling OF the wood upon
being wet. There was the tree cut by
loggers up on the Columbia, the trunk
| OF which was found to be so full OF
bears and which was headed up and
rolled down to town with it's overload
OF Ephraim in good shape. In fact,
enough evidence passed before the edi'
tors searching eyes to demonstrate
clearly that the journalistic Ananias
OF the Pacific coast is doing business
at the old stand.-Elmira Telegraph,

Jerry Simpson tells the following
story OF Mrs. Lease. He says: ''On
n recent rainy day Mrs. Lease got on
a Wichita street car and was recog-
nized by all the men who had seats,
and they kept them to give her a taste
OF her own medicine. As she passed
to the other end OF the car a man
looked up in n startled way and in
stantly rose to give her his seat.
Don't said the man next to him,
that's Mrs. Lease. She believes in the
equality OF both sexes and all that
But Mrs. Lease took the seat and the
man who gave it to her turned to the
one who had addressed him and said,
as he straightend up some: Guess you
don't know me, am Mr.. Lease"
