and three children, her hired girl and
hired man, named Matsinger, were
killed. Five dwellings and many
other buildings were blown away, and
a large number of people more or less
injured, scU =, it is thou t, fatally.
The damage to houses, crops and
fencing amounts to thousands of dol

William Dyer and George Kirkman.
Summerville is in a remote region,
making it nearly impossible to get
news from there quickly,

ANIMALS DYING PLACES.

Strange Instinct of the Llama When it
Notes the approach of Death.
The llama. Or guanaco-otherwise writ
ten huanaco-has been called the South
American representative of the camel Of
the East, although in appearance it more
resembles an antelope. It's nature is gre
garious. Usually the herds are small, but
sometimes they number several hundreds.
All the more remarkable, therefore, is the
huanacos habit of withdrawing from it's
fellows and seeking the dying place of it's
kind when it feels death approaching
That it has such habit is perfectly we'll
authenticated.
The best known of these dying or burial
places is on the banks of the Santa Cruz
and Gallegos rivers, where the river val
leys are covered with dense primeval
thickets of bushes and stunted trees
There the ground is covered with the
bones of countless generations. 1.-THE ami
mall says Darwin, ''in most cases must
have crawled before dying beneath and

a creature so prominently social in its
habits; a dweller all its lifelong on the

A LONG LOST TREASURE.

Years.

1t was Found in Amsterdam After 400
For the past two weeks Amsterdam
has been a center Of interest for numis-
matists. They have tlocked to the city
from all countries to attend a sale at
which more than 1900 coins We're up for
auction. The vendors are the Dutch
government. They are the result OF a
find when a house in the NienWstraat
was pulled down and the foundations eN-
cavated.
This house had belonged to Van Barne-
veldt. the Dutch patriot, and the date OF
the burial of the treasure is fixed be
tween 1857 and 1860. A thaler among
the coins is dated 1860, and no other piece
with the etiigy of Philip II. of Spain is Of
earlier date than 1888.
1t is not supposed that this money
ever belonged to an Amsterdam citizen
but was rather part of the treasure of
some political agent for one of the foreigt.
princes who was at that time intriguing
with the Dutch. Among the 100 pieces
only a very few are of those in circula-
ton during that century in the low coun-
tries. The majority of them were abso-
lutely unknown at the time in Holland.
and most OF them were Portuguese. AS
so often happens in the case of treasure
trove, it is said that many of the coins
seem to have been almost fresh from the
mint.-New York Evening Sun.

4 Primitive POstofHce.

On the south coast of Patagonia, where
the Magellan straits separate the main
land from Terra del Fuego, is certainly
the most primitive postoflice in the world.
1t does not even possess q single clerk or
postman. Close to the shore is a large
signpost with the inscription, "Postoffice."
Attached by chains to the foot of the
signpost is a strong chest which has
served as Il postoffice, master, clerk, all
in one. for many years. The ships pass
ing through the straits send a boat to
the shore to fetch any letters that may be
addressed to their places of call, and at
the same time to leave any letters they
may wish to have taken in other direc-
tons. In the Straits of Torres, near
Australia, is another postottice of the
same simple arrangement.-The Million.

"A Girls Mistake.

A pretty girl got on a street car yester-
day. and when the conductor came to her
for fare she handed him what she thought
was a folded transfer ticket which she
took out of her glove. He rang the regis
ter mechanically, and when he got on the
platform looked at the check. Then he
blushed and looked at the girl, but she
was looking out of the window. He read
the paper again, and forgot to let three
old women off the car, he was SO excited.
The pretty girl motioned at him to stop
the car, and he took off his hat with a
stunning bow as she left the car. She
seemed surprised, but made no remark.
When she got home she took out her
folded car ticket from her glove and
looked at it in amazement. Then she
blushed, too This is what she had given
the conductor, bit of newspaper bearing
these verses:
For you Loves own dear land
Of roses fair and free:
And if you will-no hand
To give rose to me.
For YOU Loves dearest bliss
In all the years to be:
And if you will-no kiss
Of any love for me-
She has the habit of carrying bits of
sentimental poetry in her glove, but no
wonder the conductor was astonished at
receiving so marked a declaration. She
now takes another car line and he looks
in vain for her.

New Zealand Burial Custom.

The New Zealanders have a singular
burial custom, and one that is essentially
the same as that of the Parsees of the
Orient, says the st. Louis Republic. Tn
like the latter. they bury their dead in
the earth, but leave them there only long
enough for the flesh to decay. When
nothing is left but the bones, these are
carefully cleaned and laid away in nat
ural caves or artificial tombs. The crime
of grave-robbing or of disturbing the
bones of the dead after they have been
cleaned and put away is always pun
ished by death in New Zealand and
throughout POLYNESIA.
