The RehemotI,.

The mammoth, or behemoth, is not yet
universally regarded as extinct. Accord
ing to Siberian and Chinese belief, the race
is merely banished underground, it's blind
life' being instantly terminated by a
glimpse of the suns or even of the moon s
rays. The inference might almost be called
a logical one from the state of the unearth-
ed remains.
In several cases the great beast has
emerged from his millennial retirement as
completely arrayed as If death had only
just overtaken him, his hide densely cloth
ed with fulvous wool, and that again COW
. cred by long black hair, his name falling
over his shaggy shoulders, his antedilu-
Wan eyes actuall taring from their sock
. etsl Contemporary dogs and wolves find
mammoth flesh appetizing, in spite of its
semifossil character. Mammoth bones have
been proved to contain remunerative
amount Of gelatin, and in Kamchatka
) to this day mammoth fat is largely used
for fuel .-Edinb urgh Review.

The day before Thanksgiving one OF
the well-known families, who reside not
far from Portland, invested in a fifteen
pound turkey for the national feast.
Their cook is a portly colored woman
who has lived in the family many years.
When she came to dress the turkey for
cooking, she found very hard substance
in the interior which she carefully drew
out. 1t proved to be small bottle con.
tanning slip of paper. On the paper
was the name of the man who raised the
bird in New York state, and statement
that it was his belief that the turkey was
one of the finest ever raised in the east,
and further requesting that whoever pur-
chased the bird should write to the en-
closed address and give information
as to how satisfactory it proved to be.
The day after Thanksgiving the gen.
tleman of the house wrote to the raiser
Of the turkey and told in rhyme how SUI
perb bird it was, the best, he believed,
the family had ever eaten, and giving the
names of all who participated in the

key was served

Mrs. Meyer, the aged victim of the
mysterious shooting at Yarmouth, has
failed to rally after the surgical opera
tons which she has undergone; and no
hopes whatever are entertained of her
recovery. She.was reported very low

time.
The identity of the one who fired the
shot is as much mystery as ever, so far
as any positive evidence on the subject
is known to the public.

That Birthday Rocker.

The other day one of our popular mer-
chants reached one of the milestones on
the journey of life, his something more
than twenty-frst birthday. He was in
attendance at the store during the morn
ing when an expressman entered, and
asked what should be done with hand
some rocking chair that had been or
dered sent him from the Walter Corey
Company. The merchant replied that he
had not ordered any chair, but the ex-
pressman insisted that he had been in
structed to deliver it to him.
Then ii. flashed upon our friend mind
that it was his birthday and that proba-
bly'some of his numerous friends had
taken this delicate way of expressing
their regard for him. A broad smile il
Illuminated his features as he told the ex-
pressman to deliver the chair at his resi-.
dence. At night, upon reaching home,
he looked about but saw no new chair.
1t was not in the parlor, the dining room
or the bedroom, and no reference was
made to it in the family. Thinking per-
haps there might be some mistake in the
delivery of the chair, he cautiously
preached the subject to his wife. "A
new rocker" said she, ''oh! yes, Thought
one for mother yesterday and it was sent
UP this morning and put IN her room.
And now Robert thinks he will never
take any thing for granted as long as he
lives. The awakening was too sudden
and too cruel.
