THE CHINA CLOSET.
Arrangements for the Protection of FL

Arrangements for the Protection of Fine
Dishes.
Few women have been fortunate
enough to- build their ideal of a china
closet. The carpenter or builder usu-
ally plans all the closets in the house
in q wholesale fashion. Governed by
precedent, the china closet is usually
built on a uniform plan. The shelves
are put 90 far apart, often they are
not deep enough, and it is a rare thing
to-day to End, except in handsome
houses. hat most picturesque Of all
dining-room fixtures, the china closet
with glass doors, through which all
the stores of ancient heirlooms in vari-
colored porcelain and stoneware stand
revealed.
The average china closet is much too
deep. From twelve to fourteen inches
is sufficient width. and it is just as well
to have the shelves separated as far as
eighteen inches. II the shelves are
larger than this and farther apart
there Is q tendency to pile too many
dishes upon them aud put one row of
dishes back of another, where they
cannot be reached. In piling away a
set of valuable dishes 1t Is as we'll to

A Few OF Many Huge Fossils Brought to
Light.
The finding of the molar tooth of .
mastodou or some sue a~ntedeluvian
animal In the Blandford canal in Es-
till park has led to considerable spec
ulation among those who have a geo.
logical turn, and the further digging
of the canal will, no doubt, be watched
with interest to see If any other parts
of the animals Of Bons of ages ago are
unearthed.
The tooth was found alone, which
has led Mai. Blandford to the conclu-
sion that 1t was lost in a combat be-
tween q couple Of those old time
beasts, which might have cen a NOR
tai one, for about q mile and q half
further up the canal he found a short
time ago an enormous vertebra- 1t
was only imperfectly fossilized, but its
form was we'll retained, and 1t was
more than eight inches across. This
he has on exhibition at his Office. It
is supposed that after the fight in
which his mastodonic highness lost his
tooth further down the canal, he
walked up through the swamp and
died there about twenty thousand
years ago, the single vertebra being all
that was left to tell the story.
It was In the latter part of the quar-
ternary period, some time after this
memorable event, that the mastodon
came on and took up his quarters in
Cuyler fwamp. Scientists would say,
perhaps, hat 1t was about twenty
three hundred OF three thousand years
later, not minding the addition of q few
thousand years, when 1t comes to es-
timating q geological period. They
cut a hole in the ground, get put
Q cross section of the earth, and how
long ago the animal lived depends to
q certain extent on how far down they
find the fossil. Cuyler swamp. being
nearly down to the sea level, may be
in this way considered below the sur
face Of the earth, as compared to
higher altitudea Along with the mas
todon, or about that time, r said to
have come the megatherium and
the megslosaurus, the pterodactylus,
or flying reptiles, . picture of which
the scientists have drawn. although
they have never found anything but
one or two bones that they couldn't do
anything else with, SO they decided 1t
must belong to . different animal from
those already discovered. With that
supposition at hand some bright sci
enlist went ahead and drew the pic
ture. If he has made q mistake he
stands in no danger of being corrected.
Cuyler swamp Is q great place for
birds, and 1t must be that it had ita
share Of the a~ntedeluvisu variety
along with the ~snt-esting msgathe-
rum. Probably the tremendous ich'
thyornis victor with his long sharp
teeth Aourished there. and made Q
sport of catching sharks for dainty
bits, when he was not on Q hunt Ton

place, and 1t may be that some old fos

A WAR MEETING RECALLED.
A MiIIedgeviIIian's Visit From an
Old Friend.


While south, Mr.. Thomas Gamble. Sr..
who recently visited his son here went
up to Milledgeville to see an old confed-
crate veteran whom he had not met for
many years The MilIedgeyille Times of
Saturday contains the following:
Mr. Thomas Gamble of PHILADELPHIA
spent Tuesday in this city, the guest of
Mr. w. H. Roberts. The meeting of these
gentlemen, after many years, Vividly re-
called to the mind of each an incident OF
Ihe late war. Mr.. Roberts especially has
occasion to remember the circumstance
win peculiar pleasure. He justly looks
upon his late guest as a benefactor at a
time when he was in sore need OF SYM
pathy and attention
, RMS is the story: In June, 1862 Mr..
5tooerts was sent from the battle of
seven Pines, by the surgeon of his COM
lhand, to a hospital in Richmond, Va for
teatment. He found the place so crowd
cd and so malodrous as a result of its
CtoWded condition, that he determined to
seek some other place of refuge or take
MS chances on the streets.
Mr.. Thomas Gamble, then a citizen OF
me confederate capital, found him sitting
on the steps of the capitol building sick
and weary. Ascertaining upon inquiry that
Ite was soldier, that gentleman kindly
SiHered his carriage and had the sick sol
Altr conveyed to the formers home Mrs
1fainble received him most graciously and
.enaerly nursed him back to health In
free weeks these good samaritans sent

1ess was never forgotten. and Mr.. Roberts

This new and aggressive invasion COM

and offered such inducements to San
