A remarkable discovery was made a
few years ago in the sandstone rock at
the Nevada state prison. The "find"
was considered wonderful not only
from a geological standpoint, but from
an chronological point of view also
While the convicts at the institution
were unemthing some huge blocks of
stone they uncovered some peculiar in
dentations III one of the slabs. Closer
investigation proved that these queer
marks We're the tracks of some gigantic
beast of mtodiluvian time-pcrhaps
mastodon on mammoth. When the
startling intelligence was announced to
the prison officials, they had the sand
stone slabs containing the tracks care
fully cleaned, Whereupon another Won
derful discovery was made. In the same
pieces of stone sometimes at the side
and sometimes between the tracks, made
by the great prehistoric beast, were q
series OF human footprints, which proved
conclusively that man and the mammoth
lived not only at the same time and in
the same age, hut that the huge beast
and the man had passed that way dur.
ing the same year. aud perhaps on the
same day. These wonderful relics Of u
bygone age were found i'll quarry at a
depth OF about 10 feet from the surface
and had previously been covered with a
stratum composed of hundreds Of tons
OF stone-the accumulation of the ages
that had interviewed between the date
upon which the tracks were made and
that upon which they were revealed to
the scientists Expert biologists who
have since passed an opinion on the
matter say that at the time the tracks
were made that which is now hard
sandstone was mucky deposit of soft
sediment, probably the border Of lake,
where the man had been fishing, and
where the mammoth had come to battle
or drink.--St Louis Republic.

MAHOGANY.
For Every Tree Cut Two Others Are Planted to
Keep Up the Supply.

1t will undoubtedly be news to many
that the vast mahogany forests OF Near
aqua are controlled in Boston. The cut
ting and shipping of the immense exports
from that country is great enterprise
in itself, to say nothing OF bringing it
here and manufacturing il into lumber.
One steamer plies regularly between this
port and Central America engaged in
this trade. At present she is on her way
out from this port. Fire hundred thous-
and to 100000 feet is her usual cargo.
While the steamer is now on her way to
the lumber ports, there are somewhere
on the seas bound to Boston four
schooners laden with mahogany logs.
Their cargoes are each about 100000 to
300 900 ieet. Employed in Nicaragua
and the United States of Colombia by
Mr.. Emery are from 1000 to 1900
native workmen and lumbermen. These
are under American bosses. The trees
from which mahogany furniture is made
vary in age and size. When cut they
range in age from % to 80 years, and
some OF them are rs years old. They
average 25 inches or more in diameter
and run as large as 40 inches, and even
more. For every mahogany tree that is
cut two Others are planted, and thus the
forests are practically inexhaustibe.
From the time that the tree is feled to
the hour that it is dumped off the
steamer at the Chelsea docks is an event
'u life for the mahogany log. The tree
is cut into the proper lengths and then
comes the tedious journey to the coast,
where it is taken on board the vessels
bound for this port. The greater part Of
the cuttirgis done during the dry season,
which in the United States of Colombia
begins about the LIST of December. The
natives of this country seem to make
better oggers and are better adapted to
numbering than the Nicaraguans. In
Nicaragua the season is more irregular
and Tor numbering is less to be depended
upon. After the tree is cut it is hauled
to the nearest waterway and RATED to
the coast. The logs are hauled by teams
OF oxen from one to six miles in Near
aqua, but often the distance is very
much greater, the journey sometimes
taking two days The roads consist of
paths through the forest that are moth,
ing more than swamps and morasses,
through which the oxen and horses
iiounder along. Only animals trained to
this kind of work would ever make any
progress and American beasts would
wallow about perfectly helpless. - Bos-

class was stumped by an arithmetical
problem, and so was l. In order to gain
time for myself I came the old dodge Of
telling them how much better it would
be if they would work out the solution
for themselves and gave them another
day.

About Amelia E. Barr.

Novel readers ATE familiar with the
name of Amelia +. Barr, who has writ.
ten many good things besides her famous
"A Bow OF Orange Ribbon She has
record which makes less energetic women
stand aside in awe. She has been the
mother of IA children, has written 80
novels, has prepared a professor for
Princeton college and at 60 years OF age
is fresh and bright. She still devotes nine
hours daily to her work, in spite OF her
age
Mrs. Barr attributes her vitality and
good spirits to her determination to be
philosopher and to her system of work.
She resides at very pretty place called
Cherry Croft at wal-on-the- Hudson.
The quiet country life she finds best
suited to her temperament. When she
has book on hand she devotes all her
time to it and she never writes at night :;
the early morning hours find her up and
at work. At noon she laws down her
pen, for her work gives her a healthy
appetite. Her daughter has taken house
hold cares off her mothers hands and
the story is told OF the visit of a well.
known dramatist at Mrs. Barr's home.
He was worried over certain story of
hers he was putting into stage form and
IN the midst of serious discussion the
door opened, the head of Mrs. Bars
daughter was intruded and a voice
asked: "What do you use-vanlla or
lemon extract in that pudding ?"
And Mrs Barr answered gently, 1T is
vanilla, my dear" and then soothed the
enraged dramatist by telling him the
proper construction OF a dessert was
quite as important as deciding the next
movement OF a character, Mrs. Barr
was famous cook in her day.
After dining at noon Mrs Barr sleeps
two hours, takes cold plunge-the
second of the day-and then she carefully
typewrites her mornings work She
never allows any one to handle her
manuscripts, Late in the afternoon
come tea, callers and pleasure, but no
matter what is going on, Mrs. Barr is
of to bed at o o'clock. This routine is
carefully followed all the while book
Is being written and after the book is out

pleasure. Her summers are usually spent
IN England and she is very proud of her
English descent. She married Scotch
PRESBYTERIAN and they spent happy
years in Texas town. There her chill
dren were born and yellow fever carried
off her husband and all her sons. With
her daughters she came North to make

vernacular we have it, "The sea was all
