a Petriaed Horse.

There was recently taken from a small
creek near Stringtown, Indian Territory,
a genuine curiosity IN the shape of a
petrifed horse, which had. beyond
doubt, been lying in the bed of the
stream for many years. The creek,
which is known as Mason's Ford, has
been dwindling away for some time, ow-
ing to the failure of the springs by which
it is fed, and is now but a shallow rivu-
let, and a number of Indian relics,
human bones, ETC., have been taken from
It's bed. The horse was nearly covered
by a deposit Of sand and loose limestone,
and was discovered only BY chance,
some boys wading in the creek catching
sight of a portion of one leg. Examin-
ing this, it was found to have turned
entirely into stone, which led to the
whole being dug out and carried to
shore. The horse, a large, white one,
seems to be the work of a cunning
sculptor, so completely has the petrefac-
ton been, ever the hairs of the name and
tail being converted into stone.
In the neck, aud piercing one of the
dTSbs veins, IS al arrow, III ali pfODa-
bility the cause of its death, and which
probably struck it as it stood on the
banks of the creek, into which it rolled
in its death agony. Its sides still show
the marks Of a saddle, and its TANKS are
cut as BY spurs used with desperation,
but no brand Or other mark gives a clew
to its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
hoof was unfortunately broken off, but
with this exception it is perfect. It is
now On exhibition in St%ringtown, but is
shortly to be presented to the Smith
sonian Institution, though several agents
for dime museums have enGeayored to
secure it for their euterprises.-Phila-

He has purchased IL, 900 acres of fertile

the farmer and his family can escape
that isolation which Mr.. Bookwalter
plains is annually driving thousands of
the farmers boys to look for homes in

DR.. Junker, the African explorer, had
a good opportunity for studying the
fancies of the Mangbattu in matters Of
personal adornment. They, like most
other tribes visited by him, made a
practice of tattooing the breast and belly
while leaving the face untouched. The
execution of the chosen patterns IS In
each case a matter of many years, and
every individual design represents an in
dividual period in the life of the tat

The population OF Liverpool has not
decreased, after all, learns the New York
Post, but has only expanded. Fhe first
fgures of the recent census told the
truth, but not the whole truth, and the
the Registrar Generals supplemental
statistics prove that the great city on the
Mersey is fl~ourishing numerically as well
y in other ways. The central parts of
the town are too expensive for dwelling
purposes, and the former inhabitants
ave gone to the suburbs. At the last
census the people of Manchester were
~shagrined to find that of the twenty
thief towns OF the kingdom theirs was
he only one that had declined. When
The municipal area was widened 50 as to
include the old suburbs, it became APP.
sarent that the true Manchester had in
creased by eight OF nine per cent. The
anne would be found TO be the case with
Liverpool were its restricted municipal
lrea made to include the suburbs. In

pal suburbs has risen more than sixty
per cent. and, taking the whole area,
municipal and suburban, including
Crosby, Litherland, Boctle and Toxteth

The collection OF large groups Of fact,

one department of social science that is
BY no means uninteresting. For In.
stance, it is a curious fact that q man il
much more likely to lose his left hand
than his right hand, or his left eye than
his right eye statistics, show, too, that
when a man insures himself against &C
cidents he thereby greatly diminishes the
risk of accident-and this Is probably
explained in this way: When o mans
attention is called to d danger be Ixei

avert It. It therefore happens that d
man il more likely to be o victim Of an
accident Of q kind that he never thought

insures himself, a man, for instance,
who handles sharp tools will insure him.

The Earth and Its PeopIe.

E. G. Ravenstein, recently in the
American Spectator, gave an estimate of
the worlds present and possible popula-
ton, which is certainly instructive and
interesting. The fertile land of our
planet, Mr.. Ravestein estimates at 2s,-
000, 900 square miles, and the bare grass
land at II, 600, 600 square miles, and
the desert at 4,1s0,000 The present
population of the world he gives as
1,468, 000, 900, and estimates that there
is an increase Of eight per cent. with
each decade. The desert lands, he says,
could sustain n person to the square
mile, poor grass lands ten persons, and
the fertile area 207 easily. On this as
sumption the earth could support about
5000, 900, 900 human beings, and, reck-
oning the increase each decade at eight
per cent. the earth would be full 180
years from now. In the meantime,
however, it is possible That the science
of agriculture may be advanced SO as to
permit the numbersupported to be larger,
and consequently, the earth's age greater.

shows his dudishness most remarkably in
his hairdress.
"With astounding care and the greatest
variety" says DR.. Junker, ''they build
up on their heads these wonderful strue-
tedious and elaborate bits of
work, TO which, however, the vain
young men of the better classes patiently
submit. Everything that women of
civilized countries accomplished in this
particular, is far behind the marvellous
forms of those hair phenomena"

sists of thin black cords wound tightly
around the forehead from the base of
the nose to a line three or four inches

head. The head bands, as we'll as the
headdress of a Maugbattu remains un-
disturbed usually for weeks in success

The bands are put on the heads of
unweaned children, and have a per-
effect on the development of
the skull. DR.. Junker saw many Mang-
batta children whose heads had thus
been rendered peaked to the extent of
extreme deformity.
Experience, shows, however," says
DR.. Junker, "that such artificial NAL

mental facilities SO long as the top of
the skull, and with it the brain, is al
lowed to develop unhindered in some
one direction. The Mangbatuu tribes
