Of North America, their numbers did not
decrease to any great extent. 1t was only
when civilized (?) man began his destruc-
tive work that the bison began to disap-
pear. :
What, then, was the cause of the disap-
pearance of the horse? The age of the beds
in which the remains are found is pri or to
the ice age that once prevailed in North
America, and in this period of cold it is
possible we have G factor to account for the
extinction of the horse. The intense cold
coming on forced the animals to migrate
from their homes in the northwest of tho
United States, and retreating southwark,
they probably found many competitors for
existence. The scanty vegetation of New
Mexico, Arizona, and Northern Mexico
probably did not suffice for the support of
the great herd of animals coming from the
north. New conditions of existence may
have weakened the vitality Of the species;
starvation may have decimated their num-
bers; competition with other races must
have cut of a large supply of food, and the
hand of man may have fastened the strug-
gle to it's inevitable end. All we know,
however, is that the race became extinct.
That man lived previous to and Of course
during the ice age is now we'll established.
That he lived at the same time with a
species of horse is made known by the dis
covsry of Professor Cope. His influence in
the determination of many of the large
mammals at one time inhablting North
America is as yet undetermined.

Australian Turkey,

Tho scrub turkey of Australia
seems to differ almost as widely
from the bird of the poultry yard as
do the Cape Cod and sage brush
varieties. Some of it's strange hab-
bits are described by the author of
"My Wife and / in Queensland"
It's habitat is in the thickest scrubs.
where it is hard to get ut. In ap-
pearance it much resembles the En-
glish hen-turkey, though consider
ably smaller.
The most extraordinary thing
about these birds is their nest, which
is a circular. mound OF earth from
three to four ieet in height. and ten
or fifteen feet in diameter. This
must be the headquarters of whole
colony, for, large as it seems, the
the mound is at certain seasons full
of eggs. These are of an enormous
size compared with that Of the bird.
They are covered carefully with sand,
and Matched, as suppose, by heat; al
though in the dense scrubs of Mort h.
ern Queensland, where have found
the nests, not one rny Of sun could
penetrate to them.
However Matched, tits impossible,
without netting the whole mound, to
catch the young ones, for the mo-
ment they burst the egg they scrape
their way out of the sand and dis
appear in the scrub like flash of
lightning.
/ think little is known Of their ha-
bits, for l believe they do not breed
in confinement; but was lucky in
stumbling upon nest once, whilst
wandering through the scrub in
search of a particular butterfly.
Having nothing better to do, ] sat
down and watched it, and saw four
or five OF the little things come wrig-
Cling out and dive into the scrub, be-
ing lost to sight in an instant. AL
though / remained there at least
three hours and perfectly motionless,
l saw no sign of the old birds, so
that imagine that the little things
must have instinct enough to cater
for themselves.

reason OF it's suddenness, he had.
with the assistance of surgeon,
made private examination OF Sir
Johns body Immediately after his
dscease, and found thut it had re-
suited from purely natural causes.
Nobody mt this time had breathed n
suspicion of foul play, md therefore
nothing was said which might since
have established her innocence.
1t being thus placed beyond dorbt
that this beautiful and noble lady
had been done to death by wicked
scandal that was wholly unfonnded,
her husband was strung with q
dreadful remorse at the share he had
taken in her misfortnnes and left the
country anew, this time never to re-
turn alive. He survived her, but q
few years, and his body was brought
home and buried beside his wife's,
under the tomb which is still visible
in the parish church. Until lately
there was good portrait of her, in
weeds for her first husband, with q
cross in her hand, ut the ancestral
seat of her family, where she was
much pitied, as she deserved to be.
Yet there were some severe enough
to say-and these not unjust persons
in other respect-that though un-
qucstionably innocent of the crime
imputed to her, she had shown an
unseemly wantonness in contracting
three marriages in such rapid success
sion, and that the untrue suspicion
might have been ordered by Provi-
dence (who often works Indirectly as
n punishment for her self-indulgence.
Upon that point 1 have no opinion
to offer.-Longman's Magazine.

Tho 1st and 18th OF every month, or

full OF every moon, and these are al
ways celebrated as feast days. But OF
all Chinese feasts the New Year Is a
regular bacchanalia. in which days be-
fore and weeks after arc given to
feasting and rejoicing.
During the last days OF the old year
the scene in large city like Canton Is
one OF intense interest to foreigner.
The merchants hurrying hither and
thither, collecting and paying debts
for all accounts must be satisfactorily
adjusted or else the business cannot DO

are the business parts OF the town alive
with thronging multitudes during the
day, but at nigfS instead OF everything
being promptly closed at 9 o'clock as
is usual the midnight pedestrian will
find perfect chaos Of movables and a
bedlam Of voices. Stores are being
deluged with water and the walls are
being scrubbed; ornamental scroll
paper and charms of good luck are
torn down; tho tiled floor is getting its
annual but probably only cleaning it
has had during the year. After this Is
done the walls are redecorated and
new charms and gods are pasted up o.
set in the windows and showcases.
In private houses the same cleaning
process is going on; all the dirt of the
year is being removed. When this is
done the4, finest ornaments that are
possessed are brought out and dis
played on the tables; embroidered
covers are placed on tho chairs and
stands and the whole house is put in
holiday attire. One OF the great
features OF the decorations is the dis
play OF sacred lilies" 1t is desirable
that they should bloom on New Years
day, and the more flowers on the plant
the better will be the fortune of the
family owing to it during the year to
come.

Romance of Gsrters.

Ladies will be interested to hear of
the thirteen pairs of carriers ordered
for the Princess Sophie of Prussia,
the bride of the Duke of Sparta, ac-
cording to old Hohenzollern custom.
These were not for wear, but for dis
tribution as souvenirs of the mar
riage. In ruder times. and even still
in less exalted ranks oflife, the brides
garter was and is n kind ofperquisite
for the bridesmaids, to be cut up and
shared among them to bring each
young lady good fortune. In Ger
many eoch bride ofthe Hohenzollerns
gives garter to be laid up in the
museum au Berlin. The collection is
beautiful and curious, some fifty or
sixty in number, from the homeliest
in quality to the richest embroidery
on silk and dazzling with jewels. The
thirteenth pair of Princess Sophie's
are of pale blue silk and clasped with
large diamond bucklers. These are
the historical carriers sent back to
her own country after the ceremony.
OF the remaining twelve it is under
stood that she gave one to the reign
ing sovereign, and the other eleven
to the Greek MOBILES of high rank who
attended the bridegroom to the altar.
All the thirteen pairs of carriers have
gold buckles with the brides initials
in diamonds; but the blue and white.

The economy which is too strong TO

any self-reproach for holding it up to

was renowned alike for her oddities
and for what her neighbors called her

had inherited not little property
from her husband. which she carefully
handled and which increased in her

proach that she did not erect tomb

said that she could not afford such an
expense.

widow made up her mind to have q

him of his badge and baton without
authority; that ne took Il pistol from
him that had been given him by the
chief OF police before he was placed
under arrest; that he called him by abu-

that the sergeant had been in the habit
of drinking beer at the Virginia brewery
and frcquenting that place for that pur-
pose.
A TIMES reporter saw Sergeant Jones
yesterday in regard to the charges. Ho
did not seem to be much worried, but

have to go into law suit because he
suspended and reported a subordinate.
The sergeant proposes to defend him

SMASHING ASPuALT.

throes of sheet asphalt controversy in
comparison with which the recent little
dispute which we had in Roanoke seems
as dwarfcd as cherry beside full
grown Georgia water melon. The Den

asphalt monopoly with its gloves off nd
its sleeves rolled up. 1t calls spade a
spade with singularlY felicitous ac-
cent.
1t is safe to say that the sheet asphalt
monopoly will suffer as severe defeat
in the capital of Colorado as it did in
Roanoke. 1t is about time that the
truth in regard to this miserable subtcr-

that its operations will be compelled to
stop. The best place for the pitch
