UNEARTAEo ANCIENT RELICS.

Bones and Weapons of Mound Buildera
Dislnterred In Kentucky.
While digging well near Sand
Spring, KY, recently number of hui
man bones were disinterred, together
with quantity of weapons, spear
heads, arrows and axes of copper,
obsidian and very good brass, the axes
especially showing very fair workman
ship. The bones all belonged to male
skeletons, with the exception of one
of the best preserved, which was that
of a woman, about whose skull was
bound a crown or sort of diadem of sill
yer, set with an opal cut with skill,
and of extraordinary size and luster.
From the appearance of these remains,
says the Philadelphia Times, it is
probable that this was an ancient bat
tie ground on which the slain were
buried as they fell. Local archeolo-
gists, who have examined the skulls,
declare that they are not those of In
dians, but of a people of superior in
telligence. Some of the skeletons are
seven feet in height, one measuring
eight feet four inches.
This latter's breast-bone is shattered
by a copper knife which was still
sticking in the severed bone. The
presence Of the woman's remains is
not to be accounted for. except that
she may have been the queen of the
tribe and in person led her host to bat
tie, sharing their lot and being in
tered with them. Among the relics is
a lamp provided with wick which has
hardened almost to stone, and on
the body Of which runs a curious in
scription cut into the brass The let
tering resembles that of Egyptian
monuments. There is also an engrav.
ing on it of an insect'strangely like the
scarabei of that country. Another re-
minder Of ancient history is found in
the fact that one of the skeletons has
seized another by the heel and his
teeth are still to be seen fxed in it,
crunching the bone in@his grasp. That
these people were identical with the
mound builders is more than prob able,
for it is known that that vanished race
was particularly numerous about here.

THE SUCCULENT OYSTER.
It Has Long Been q Popular Ar.
ticle Of Food.


We eat every year in this country
about Ave and half millions of oys-
ters-raw, stewed, fried, roasted,
picked, scanoped and in . pate, says
the Youths Companion. But as sim
gle oyster may contain ct one time
eight hundred thousand embryo oys-
ters there need be no fear of = famine
in this delicious food, provided proper
provision is made for its culture. Oys-
ters are wholesome because they are
easily digestible and please the taste
without exciting to surfeit. Prof.
William Mathews, in his essay on
'Oysters," quotes Brillat-Savarin, the
master of French cooks, to show that
it is not easy to tell where safety be-
gins in oyster eating:
''The despair of my life is that can
never get my fill of oysters" said a
friend. "Come and dine with me and
you shall have your fll," repled
Savarin. The friend, one NJ. Laperte,
came and for one hour devoted him
self to eating oysters. When he had
swallowed thirty-one dozen and was
proceeding to eat the thirty-second the
host rsag for the soup, saying: mot
to-day, my friend, will destiny allow
you to eat your FILL" NJ. Laperte did
ample justice to the dinner which fol-
lowed.
But the Frenchman was excelled by
tho gluftonous Vite1lius, who is re-
ported to have eaten q thousand oys-
ters at sitting.
HE was a very valiant man who first
ventured on eating of oysters" King
James was won't to declare-a senti-
ment echoed by the poet Gay:
The man had sure palate covered DER
With brass or steel. that on the rocky shore
First broke the oozy oysters pearly coat,
And risked the living morsel down his throat
The Romans were as fond of oysters
IS Americans are, and were divided in
opinion about the lusciousness OF the
produce of different beds. Juvenal, in
his Fourth Satire" says that a
gourmet of Rome, 'fat-paunched
could tell at the first bite
from what coast an oyster had been
taken.
At the Lucrinc rock, or sent forth from the
Rutupian bottom,
He knew well to discover at the first bite
Oysters once played an important
part in English history. One of the
objections of George l. to the throne
Of England was that he could not find
in all England oysters to his liking.
He grumbled at their queer taste and
want of favor and threatened to re-
turn to Hanover. AS the departure of
the king might lead to the return of
she Stuarts, his ministers devoted
to finding which sort of
oysters the monarch liked. On discov.
ering that he was fond of stale oysters

FACTS AsouT LIVE STOCK.
Russia Has More Horses Than Any Other
Country.

Russia Has More Horses Than Any Other
Country.
The most populous horse country in
the world is Russia, in Europe. It has
20, 200, 900 of horses. The United
lation of more than 16, 900, 900. In pro-
portion to the number Of inhabitants
the United States is far richer in
horses than Russia. But in that pro-
portion the United States is in turn
far surpassed by. the Argentine Repub-
lie, where, according to the latest ac-
cessible figures, there are few more
horses than people. The countries Of
western and southern Europe are
thinly populated with horses compared
with the American continent and
Russia. Italy, with human popula-
tion of more than 80, 600, 900, has only
720, 600 horses, but it has almost twice
as many mules and donkeys as horses.
Spain has only few more than SOC, 900
horses, or about one horse to every
sixty people. Most of the cavaliers"
of Spain ride on donkeys. The United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
has only about 2,o0O, 900 horses.
The United States is the most popu-
lous mule country in the world. 1t is
also, by many millions, the most popu-
lous pig country, possessing over 49,
000, 600 swine. There is also a larger
proportion Of pigs to the human popu-
lation than in any other country
larger even than in Ireland, country
which is popularity but mistakenly sup
posed to be the Utopia of the pig. The
country of the sheep, par excellence,
is Australia. On that continent there
are a few more than 5000, 600 people,
but there are 62,o00,0o0 sheep; that is
to say, twenty sheep to every man,
woman and child. In the United States
we have only about 100000 sheep,
which, though larger sheep popula-
tion than that of any other country
except Australia and the Argentine
Republic. is not proportionately SO
great number as several other coun-
tries possess. British India has more
cattle than any other country. but the
United States has nearly as many
upwards of 52,000,0 600. However, the
Republic again leads in the
number of cattle in proportion to hui
man beings. If the cattle in Argen-
tina were divided equally among all the
people, every man, woman and child
would have five cattle to take care of,
and there would be enough left to give
one additional critter each to almost a
million of the people. Considered
from the point of view of farm ami
mails, the Argentine Republic is prob
ably the most important country in
,he world.

a MERCANTILE ERAIJD.

ST LOUIS Sept. 4.-J. w. Goddard &,
Co. of New York filed petition here this
morning against Levy Bros. g. Co., Baer
Bros and Newman & Co. OF New York.
The petition charges that while Levy Bros.

law solvent, the members of the firm
made large purchases of plaintiffs
and of other merchants, to u sum
estimated at $S00,000; that the partner
ship about that time, for the purpose of
defrauding creditors, made conv, yauces
of the assets of firm and secreted the same
to their own use, by sending the proceeds
of sales outside of the United States, where
no process of court could reach them.
