A CHILD WITH HoENs.-The wife OF
a farmer named Robertson, living near
Bonham, Tex, gave birth q day or
two ago to a child presenting the
curious deformity of pair of horns
growing on lis head. The horns are
nearly three inches long, and grow just
above the ears. projecting Up, though
close to the SKILL and curving slightly
at the ends. They seem to be of y
gristly nature rather than hard, like
horn, but the doctors declare that they
are gradually growing firm and will
probably become tue horns. They are
evidently a part of the bone Of the
head, and the physicians consider the
operation of removing them would in
all likelihood endanger the cnild's life,
and certainly lay bare that .rortion Of
the brain lying beneath the excres-
cence. SO the parents have dc ;ded to
postpone at any rate the removal ofthe
de:ormity. The mother attributes the
growth to her having been gored by a
bull about three months ago. The
child is fine little boy, seeming quite
intelligent and well made, with the ex-
ception ofits singular head ornament.

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN Tools. The
pride of the people of the present age,
based upon the believe that we have
out.strippcd the old world in The arts
and sciences, receives another shock.
4 man whose desire for the truth led
him to spend two years in q tomb at
Gizeh, Egypt. is said to have secured
evidence which proves that 1000 years
ago tools used in cutting stone had jew
cled edges, similar 10 those used at the
present day. Solid and tubular tools
were used by the builders of the pyra-
mids. and saws, which were supposed
to be modern, were used in those days,
both straight and circular There was
evidence in some pieces Of granite that
drill had sunk onc-tenth of an inch at
every revolution, and that the pressure
to accomplish this must have been at
least two tons. 1t is suggested that as
diamonds were exceedingly rare in
those days, perhaps corundum vls used
as points for the tools.-EoStoa Joariai.

ACCORDING TO official figures, ofthe
three million soldiers in the federal
army during the war between the
States, one-third, or 100000, were for
eign-born, and IL, 900 were negroes. So
it appears that the establishment OF
the constitutional cohesion of the
States was due in large part to for
ei2acrs and negroes, and not entirely,
as the Washington Post would have it,
'to the patriotic soldier in his collective
capacity. There we're no less than

Col. Weir Gives His Reason for
Firing Messengers.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 4.-The Adams
Express company officials do not antici-
pate trouble in connection with the re-
cent wholesale dismissal of their mes
sengers. General Manager l.. G. Weir
says their attention was called to the
existence of the brotherhood during the
recent troubles of the Southern EX-
press company. The messengers
claimed that the organization was
merely beneficial, but Col. Weir found
In their constitution clause which
provided that cases of grievances be-
tween members and their employers
which cannot be settled by the subdi-
vision must be appealed 80 the ex-
ecutlve committee of the brotherhood,
whose decision shall be final. This
clause the express company officials re-
gard as giving clear power to declare
a strike. Col. Weir says that the BROTH
erhood is not strong one, so far as the
company knows; that in the territory
under his charge out of 500 messengers
only 62 Adams men belong to the broth
erhood. These. he says, have all been
discharged and their places filled.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 4.-The Gin

The board has seven sites to select

little to do with the choice of the

Corn From That State for the Rus
slams - The B. NJ. US Resolu-
tionS.
The slowly increasing fund for the
relief of the starving Russians has been
Swelled by the contribution that will
come from the farmers of Nebraska.
The people of that state have raised
100000 pounds of corn. 1t is expected
that this amount of food material will
be made part OF the cargo being col
lected by the Northwestern Miller.
This makes the total already collected,
including the cash contributions that
will be converted into flour, $500 900
pounds. The corn will be shipped to
Schumacher. the corn miller of Akron,
O., and he will exchange for it its equiv
alent in kiln dried meal. The meal will
be sacked, and in each sack will be
placed circulars printed in the Russian
language giving explicit directions for
the preparation of bread from the meal.
This precautiOn is rendered necessary
by the unfamiliarity of the Russians
with cOrnmeal. contributions to the
fund will lie received after next
Wednesday.

Miss Imogene Collins in a Bad
Predicament.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, Feb. Airs. Imogene
B. Collins, of New York, according to

affair without first being divorced from
her first husband. Jan. Is last. Mrs. Col
Inns appeared before Judge Shepard in
this city with an application for legal
separation from George r. Collins, of
the Whiting Manufacturing company in
New York. She accused heI husband
of cruelty, and, after she had finished
her story, the court distinctly said
that he would require more evil
dence. Seemingly needless of
this remark, the attorney had
the testimony written mp and presented,
but decree, it was ascertained this
afternoon, has not been entered.
On the Goth inst. she and William II.
Lyon with their twenty-three friends re-
paired to a parsonage i'll New jersey
and they were made man and wife,"
Judge Shepard was asked tonight
whether he would enter the decree nunc
pro tune as on the day it was heard.
"Why, nO!' he replied, II don't pro-
pose TO enter decree if she has mar
ried again. l told her she must have
more evidence. Ii the report is true she
can't get divorce now because of her
own misconduct"
