How Virginia Got Its Nickname.

Inter Ocean tells that the authorities in
the colony of Virginia, at the time of the
contest in England between the Stuarts
and Cromwell, appear to have been de
voted to the Stuarts, and when the Crom.
wellian government threatened to send a
fleet to reduce the colony to submission it,
officials dispatched a message to young
Charles, who was afterward king of Eng
land under the title of Charles II, who
was then hiding in France, to come over
and be king of Virginia. 1t is said that
Charles was on the point of starting, when
the collapse of the commonwealth and the
Cromwellian regime took place, which sent
him to the English throne. Charles never
forgot this devotion OF Virginia to his
fortunes, and that colony was subsequently
clAssed with England, Scotland and Ire
land as leading members OF the empire
In this way Virginia came to he known
among the American colonies as the Old
Dominion.

the law of evolution comes in. In the

The election Of Cleveland and
Stevenson by so large majority brings
happiness to millions Of American
people. Il demonstrates the omnip.

contrIbu ed by the monopoiist and
tariff barons of the country FOR the

has proven in etfec ual and the pair,
practical and independent people Of
the United States have again taken
control of the Government. The de-
feat OF Harrison removes cloud from
our horizon. Threats Of the Force

our industries and domestic commerce.

Another Remark on The Vatican PIeat-Yhe

on this subject with cheerful endurance, so
that when tell you of still another Varia-
ton in this adjunct Of modern costume you
will perhaps listen once more. rejecting
that 1t is extremely fashionable or you
would not be dOsed with it every week.
The floating Vatican pleat for evening
gowns is kind of long veil of gauZe or
lace, attached at the shoulder and then
floating freely to the hem Of the gown. 1t
is called the Vatican pleat unattached"
and has a graceful. stylish appearance.
The velvet casque is another Of this seasons
novelties, and has no sleeves. Ii brightens
up an old gown wonderfully and generally
is terminated in a pretty belt Of ribbon or
fancy leather, with fancful buckles and
pendants.
The belt is becoming more and more
popular. bat not the old al-rOund belt of
former days-that is quite gone. The belt
now is generally pointed either up or down,
or perhaps only extends part Of the distance
round the weaTer's waist.
Ribbons are highly in favor as a trim
ming, and gowns for girlish wearers are
decked with them in great pTofusion. For
years there has not been anything like the
demand for them that there is this winter,

Doctors Quarrel About the RscOnstruc

ton OF a Prehistoric Beast.
New Orleans Pieayune.
A few weeks ago sonIe workmen I'M
earthed the remains of prehistoric animal,
probably a brOntotherium. in the banks of
the Ohio River. These remains were Sc
cured by the Cailett Academy of Catletts-
burg, KY, and turned over to Professor
jenkins, who holds the chair of geology.
and he set himself to the task Of recon-
structing the deceased giant.
After the job was done he found that he
yet had some 200 pounds of bones undis-
posed of, and after surveying his work he
concluded that the tail would bear additions
better than any other part OF the frame, so
he proceeded to add some twelve feet of
caudal appendage, curving it over the an IL
mails back like the tail of o good-natured
dog When Professor Gould Of the same in
stitution saw the novel animal he laughed
He said that Professor jenkins had made a
ridiculous mistake, and instead of an ab-
normally long tail the creature evidently
had preternaturally long hind legs. so that
the animal, when alive, could go bounding
like kangaroo, fifty yards at a jump. He
then proceeded TO reconstruct the skeleton,
putting the SupertluouS bones into its legs.
When Professor Jonkins heard Of this
liberty that Professor Gould had taken with
his specimen he was very much enraged and
proceeded at once to restore the tail. The
next morning when Professor Gould came
to the room and saw the extravagant tail he
at once pulled 1t to pieces and turned it into
legs. And this alternate metanlorphosis has
taken place daily in the skeleton for two
weeks past.
Another amateur scientist who saw the
thing suggested that perhaps the beast had
wings, but this suggestion was scornfully
rejected by both scientists, and they still
Insist on reconstructing the skeleton, and
will do so until some bad student steals the
extra bones.

Joaquin Miller once said that if he were

he would indicate the tributary waters of
the Sacramento, with Mount Shasta for a
tent. For nearly halt a century the cool
