Mammoth,s skeleton.

The largest mammoth skeleton in the
world is ON exhibition at the Washing
ton State building at the Chicago fair.
In the spring of 1878 Mr.. Copelin,
farmer living in the southwestern part
of Spokane county, state Of Washington,
was digging drain through muddy
hollow, about so feet square, when he
came upon some unusually large bones
He wisely exercised great care in dig
ging out the bones, and the result was
that science secured a valuable prize.
Professor w. K. Higley has prepared
brief record of this work, showing that
121 bones or their fragments had been
found, aggregating 700 pounds in weight.
The length of the tusks is feet 10
inches; circumference of the tusk at
base, 81 inches; number of laminae of
lower teeth, 10; breadth of lower teeth,
81 inches; length of lower teeth, 10
inches; breadth of the lower jaw at the
condyles, 90 inches; breadth of atlas, IS
inches; height Of atlas, 81 inches; height
of pelvis, "a inches; breadth Of pelvis, 90
inches; height of scalpula, 20 inches;
length of humerus at middle of shaft, 10
inches. These are accurate measure
ments of the true bones in the mounted
skeleton. The height of this skeleton as
it stands is 10 feet, while that of the fa-
nous st. Petersburg specimen is only 0
feet inches.-Toledo Blade.

There is a man in New Hampshire
named William c. Todd who holds to
the theory that he is benefting his fell
low creatures when he puts abundant
supplies of newspapers within their
reach. He lately provided for an ex-
penditure of $4,000 year for newspa-
pers for the Boston public library, and
it has since been discovered that he re-
Gently made similar provision for the
public library of Newburyport. He be-
lieves in the value of newspapers, and
yet it seems that he is not a patent medi-
cine man, as one might suppose, but
retired schoolmaster, who has been q
great traveller and now pursues life of
studious retirement in village.
In extenuation of his action he declares
that the press has become the great
agency by which information is diffused
and the people are educated, and that
free reading rooms are likely to be more
in demand in the future than free libra
ries.
1t is interesting to notice that he seems
not to have suffered from the newspaper
publicity about which there is SO much
complaint, and that even his neighbors
in Atkinson. where he lives, were found
to possess scarcely any reliable informa-
ton about his past career or the size of
his fortune. They knew him to be fru-
gal in his personal habits and generous
in his benefactions, but that was ALL

Something They Cannot I'm

If This Is Not Wonder Worker We Should
Like to Know What Is.

Doctors are surprised at any cure OF
paralysis, but there is one form of paral-
ysis which has been pronounced absolute
ly ncurable-Ocomoto ataxia. This is
indeed, the most serious and dreaded of
all nervous difficulties.
Having so long pronounced this disease
incurable, the astonshnent not to say
amazement, of the doctors can be imag-
ined when they learned from Mr.. John
FL. Golding who resides at l66 Chris
TOPPER st., New York city, the following

Earlr American scu1ptors.

1t Is worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to model in clay not one Of
the artists who have given celebrity tc
our native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer was not born until $780,
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1891. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade, but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural Instincts
but like the majority Of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his ef-
forts are interesting only as evidence OF
what talent entirely unobstructed can
accomplish.
1t was not until 1905, long after Cop.
ley, West, Malbone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art, that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light Of day. In the remote
wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger,
Crawford and Mills followed In 1919,
1918 and 1915. Thus we see that, with
out hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in win
ming for himself European renown
which made him the equal of some OF
the leading foreign carvers and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of "father of American
sculpture. "-Lippincotts.

A curious, well authenticated case of
contagious epilepsy occurred among the
Northamptonshire rifle volunteers, who
returned home ON Saturday after a
weeks camping out at Wakefield Lawn,
the Northamptonshire residence of the
Duke of Grafton. At $3.50 in the morn
ing, while in the act Of changing
guard, sergeant, overcome by the
heat, fell to the ground in an epileptic
fit. The bugle was at once sounded for
the ambulance, and one or two stopped
to assist the sergeant. Almost imme-
diately another volunteer fell in SINH
lar fit, and In the course Of the next two
minutes five more dropped to the ground
insensible, leaving only five of the -
men present unaffected. The ambu-
lance corps soon appeared and found
the remaining five men in state Of in
tense excitement. 1t was a long time
before several recovered from their fits.
One man, corporal, insisted on return
ing at once to duty, but all the others
were invalided. Westminster Ga

Animals possess in an appreciate man.
ner certain tastes indicating an elemen.
tary sense Of the beautiful. This sense
is not present in all animals, and those
who do possess it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient to know that
its existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted In this manner
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subjugates and fascinates his
mate with the beauty of his plumage Oh
the fexibiliB of his vocal organs. There
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense in singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has 8
passion for brilliant and variegated OBJ
iects, and he has habit of ornamentine
the entrance to his nest, which is bull
with infinite art and elegance, with 8
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen to strike his
fancy. Among them are brilliantly col
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
Of shells, bits of stuffs, and the birC
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon then
for fertilization show an entirely differ
ent variety of colors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in a marked manner
They have their preferences and theil
ntipathies.-Review of Reviews.

Diet In Diabetes.

The following rigorous diet is said
to be prescribed by the eminent Dujar-
din Beaumetz of Paris: Eggs. fish, meats
of all kinds, poultry, game, oysters and
cheese; all green vegetables are per-
mitted except beets, carrots and beans;
fatty foods are recommended, such as
sardines in oil, herring, lard, goose
grease, ham fat and caviare; all soups
are permitted, when made of meats In
combination with cabbage, poached
eggs, onions, but no bread or toast is to
be in the soup. Only dietetic breads are
to be used, and saccharine in place of
sugar; all starch foods are strictly for
hidden, as sweet fruits, pastries and
chocolates; patients may drink claret
wine diluted with vichy, but no poor
wines, liquors or spirits are to be used.
Daily exercise morning and evening is
to be taken in the open air; fencing and
gardening also, and other light exercise.

The Shell of the Pearl oyster.

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we eat. 1t is Of an en-
tirely different species, and as matter
of fact the shells of the SO called pearl
oysters are of far more value to those
engaged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf Of California, and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those wa
tiers. In 1881 one pearl-a black one
was sold for $40 900, and every year since
that time many pearls have been taken
from the beds in the California gulf val
ued at over 81, 800 each. But such finds"
are very rare, and as a rule the pearls
which are brought up are of very little
value. The shells, however, are very
valuable. Most of them are shipped to
Europe, where they are manufactured
into ornaments, knife handles, buttons
and the hundreds of other articles for
which mother of pearl is used.-Har-

What Chinese Eplcures Eat.

A Chinese mandarin has forwarded
the menu of splendid banquet given
at Picking to the foreign diplomatists,
which follows: First came four classic
dishes-namely, swallow nests with
pigeon eggs, shark fins with crabs, dog
fish with wild ducks, duck and cauli-
flower. Then succeed delicacies served in
cups placed before each guest, swallow
nests, shark fins, plain morels, vegeta-
bles, mushrooms with duck feet, fried
partridge, pigeon in slices. Then there
appeared four dishes-namely, ham in
honey, puree of peas, vegetables and
dogfsh; four side dishes, haricot cheese
with bamboo buds Ga kind Of asparagus),

and vermicelli, duck and pork outlets.
Each guest had also placed before him
plates of almonds, pistachio paste, pears
and oranges Finally the following were
the roast and boiled meats: Sucking
pig, roast duck, boiled chicken, boiled
pork. There was profusion of Eu-
ropean and Chinese wines. No opium
was smoked, for official China is not yet
reconciled to the drug which it owes to
the East India company.-Asiatic Quar-

Prince of Detectives.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1775. He began
life as baker and early became the ter
ror Of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was notorious thief, and
after many disgraceful adventures he en-
listed in the army. In 1895 he returned
to Paris with some money, which, how
ever, he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eight years hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly escaped,
and in 1903 he became connected with
the Paris police as detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieved convicts,
which purged Paris Of the many danger
GUS classes. In 1918 he received full
pardon, and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928, when he
settled at st. Mande as a paper manu-
facturer. Soon after the revolution of
1880 he became political detective, but
with little success. In 1S48 he was again
employed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1851

Sensible Points About TIps.

The greatest abuse of the tipping sys-
TEN in New York is in the fees to jani-
tors and other servants connected with
apartment houses. 1t has become Gus
tom almost too strong to ignore in some
apartment houses to pay the janitor, bell
boy, elevator boy, ETC., certain amounts
every month or fortnight-this without
any regard to whether the servant has
rendered any particular service or not.
The result of this indiscriminate tipping
is quite natural-you get no particular
service.
Not a few tenants of apartment houses
have had an experience with janitors
which makes blackmail preferable to the
risk of the repetition of these expert
ences. As in the case of walters, there
are good many annovances to which
tenants may be subjected which cannot
be cured with a club and which do not
even form a substantial basis of com
plant. And they are not less aggravat-
ing because You can't get away from
them or resent them. But to simply pay
man unfortunately just because he
is there 10 a plan which releases him from
any obligation whatsoever.

APatriotic Daughter.

A young lady, the daughter of west
ern farmer, whose heart overhowed with
patriotism, quietly left her comfortable
home, cut off her beautiful hair, donned
male attire, enlisted in a company and
went directly to the seat of war.
During the home life she had been the
milkmaid, and her kind treatment of the
bovine tribe of the farm had made her a
special favorite. But one of the tactical
tribe was her special favorite and whose
reciprocal love at meeting was always
demonstrated. When mustered out of
service, she returned to her paternal
home, her habiliments being those of the
heroes of the war, and politely requested
permission as stranger for entertain
ment over night, which was readily
granted by the kind host to returning
soldier.
On the following morning she arose.
and still regarded by the entire family
as a perfect stranger she proceeded IN
her soldier garb to her old milking quar-
tiers, and she had not entered the gate
way till she was at once recognized by
her pet COW, which proceeded to meet
her and greet her with all demonstra-
tons of loving animal to dear friend.
Then the soldier returned to the house
hold, and instead of possessing the recog-
nizing powers of a COW it was hard work
to persuade them that she was really
their daughter. Pittsburg Com

The Average Age of Queens.

l. How many seasons should queen
be kept laying? g. What is the average
age of queens if left alone? was a query
answered not long ago in the columns of
The American Bee Journal.
G. H. Differn replied as follows: 1. A
queen begins to fail after the second
year, and the most successful honey pro-
Queer will see that his queens do not get
much older than that. 2. If left entirely
alone, they would probably average
about years.
G. W. Demaree said: l. now after
long experience leave that to the bees
They will make fewer mistakes along
this line than am likely to make. 2. l
clip the wings of my queens, and in this
way keep pretty nearly up with them.
The average is about years. Many
queens are superseded at 2 years old:
many more at 8, and nearly all at 4.
Mrs. Jenny Atchley of Texas answered:
/. Taking everything into consideration,
it might be best to keep queens only 2
years, and, to answer the second part of
the question, / will say that 2 years is
about an average life for queens in this
locality, but good queens often do good
service even the fourth year. 2. 1t real
ly would be hard to average up, as SO
much depends upon circumstances.

Has Its Good Points.

In some villages in Japan robbers are
tried and convicted by ballot. When
ever a robbery is committed the ruler of
the hamlet summons the entire male
population and requests tkem to write
on a slip of paper the name of the per-
son they suspect as having committed
the crime The one receiving the largest
number of ballots is declared duly
elected" and is accordingly hanged. This
system, like all others, has its peculiar
advantages. 1t insures the punishment
of somebody for every robbery commit
ted. whereas under the system in vogue
in most civilized countries in nine cases
out of ten no punishment is inflicted on
anybody for the crime. OF course they
may not select" the guilty person, but
dispose of some other character equally
as bad. There is much in the system to
commend it to other nations.

Strange fancies have taken hold Of
some men regarding the manner in which
their bodies were to be disposed of after
death and the ceremonies to be observed
at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V had the
curious idea of celebrating his own fu-
neral. Shortly before his death he caused
tomb to be made in the chapel of the
monastery of Estremadura, to which he
had retired after his abdication, and on
its completion he was carried to it as
though dead. Placed in coffin and ac-
companied by a procession, he was borne
along, while chants were sung, prayers
said and tears shed. After the solemn
farce was over he was left alone in the
chapel, where he remained short time
before rising out of the coffin.-London

COMPOSING STABLE MANURE.

deciding on the price he can afford to
pay for raw manure originally the gar
dener will have to take this feature in
consideration.
These heaps may be made during au-
tumn and early winter right on the arabic
land, and the material will generally be
ready to be spread upon the soil where
wanted when the time for planting it
with spring crops has arrived. 1t is abb
solutely necessary that these heaps be of
considerable depth, not less than four
feet, in order to prevent the rainwater
from teaching clear through and washing
away valuable food elements.
The compost heap while in process of
construction is the most appropriate
dumping place for vegetable rubbish of
all sorts, the carcasses of animals Qarger
ones cut in pieces), house and kitchen
Stops and other waste materials. Refuse
matter of this kind often adds greatly
to the value of the compost.
For general garden crops this manure,
when in the right condition well rotted),
is applied broadcast and thoroughly
mixed all through the soil, generally by
blowing under in lap furrow style and
by thorough narrowing.
