Continuing his recital after a pause for
retrospect the captain said: His captors
were willing to give him in death the ia
vor he asked for vainly in life. The funeral
was splendid in such military appoint
ments as were at hand, and although the
last home of the fallen chief was in a
plain deal coffin, carried in the common
hearse Of the island, the pall-bearers were
those of French officers who constituted
his personal staff, and who wore their ma
tcnaI uniform and side arms, while an
English military band preceded the hearse,
playing funeral march, and several COM
panies of English soldiers followed There
were ladies present, one of whom Wept

wife of one of the English officers, who
had greatly pitied the dying captive and
had done much to soothe his last hours. A
company of artillery fired three rounds of
eleven guns over the grave, and when this
was done retired with their band playing
a quick-step. l did not know that this was
the usual practice of military bands at flu
nerals. and I resented 1t in my heart as
another insult to the dead captive All.

BoNEs OF PREHIsTonIC ANIMALS.
Skeletons of Flying Lizards ana a
"Missing Link" Horse Unearthed,


From the Chicago Chronicle.
New York.-One hundred huge cases that
have just arrived at the Museum of Nat
ural History in Central park are regarded
with more than usual satisfaction by the
directors of that institution.
They are the bones of the remarkable
specimens of extinct animals dug out of
the earth many feet below the surface in
Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado and Texas
They are the first consignment of the re-
suits of the summers work of the numer-
Gus expeditions sent out by the museum
In these 100 cases there is one perfect
specimen of a flying lizard that was Twelve
feet long. Prof. w. Matthews said there
were numerous other specimens of lizards,
but only one complete specimen, which was
taken from Kansas soil II belonged TO
the period ages before man was dreamed
of, and few like bat in the night and fed
on fishes.
Prof Matthews who had charge of an
expedition to Kansas has Just returned
On his way back he got into Wyoming
with Prof. Wortmaun's expedition. When
that section returns to New York early
in October there will be brought along a
monster lizard over fifty feet long. It Is
being dug out of Wyoming rock now.
When he left thirty-five feet Of the crea-
ture was in sight and 1t was estimated
twenty feet more remained to be excavat-
ed.
Then there is the missing link" horse.
Museums all over the country have had
bones of this creature, enough to build up
into an Ineligible skeleton that the pub
lie could understand.
Now the Nebraska expedition has sent
back samples of bones of the missing
link horse that have not been discovered
heretofore, ana professors at the museum
of natural history who will patch animal
bones into full skeletons are rejoicing m
the belief that they will get whole horse
tosether. When that is done they win be
able to trace the horse from his first
known form down to the most modern
racer or miserable Flooding car horse.

THE BIGHE AID.
Something More About This Peculiar
aInlady


Editor Morning News: In the agricultu-
raj department of the Morning News Of
last Monday there was an article con-
corning the bighead, but while no doubt it
was a valuable article, it was not suffi-
GENTLY exhaustive
The bighead frequently attacks man,
and was well known to the ancients.
The article gives 1t the technical name,
osteo porosis;" the poet Horace calls it
'caecus amoris sui" and another latin
writer terms it "amablis insania," or
pleasing insanity" from the peculiar cir
cumstance that its effects are rather agree
able than otherwise to the patient, and
are unpleasant only to other people, like
certain infiuenzas and nervous disorders.
But the technical name by which the big
mead IS most generally known and de-
scrlbed IS "damniorum foolibus."
IL mas various causes, although all cases
resemble each other in the main.
1t may be constitutional, and then it is
very inVeterate. 1t may be sometimes due
TO exposure, such as the exposure of the
subject TO the injudicious and excessive ad-
ulation of relatives and connections, espe-
cially of the feminine persuasion. Or, it
may come from contact, for instance the
contact of S9O0-man with $5,000-position.
Again, 1t may be caused by a sudden or
unexpected great success the excitement
causing the rush of blood or gas to the
Uranium, resulting sometimes in marked
expansion. Fortunately, the last are usu-
ally only temporary cases, and the pa
tent soon RECEIVERS.
In most chronic cases the cure of the
big head or damnirum fOolbus is diff
cut, if not almost impossible, although
the poet, Propertius says:
Omnes humanos sauat medicina do
lores," which may be interpreted: There
is cure for every human ill.,"
The main difficulty is the singular fact
that the patient is the last person in the
world to recognize that he is afflicted with
the disease; in fact, like some consumptive
patients, he will Indignantly flout any in
situation to that effect But for this
complication a radical cure would nearly
always be easily effected. Removal of
the cause, where the same is definitely
known, generally results in a speedy cure;
thus in case of bighead or damniorum
foolibus from contact, the removal of the
$1,000 position and the restoration of the
patient to normal conditions has been
observed to speedily result in a visible sub
sidence of the swelling.
some persons generally suspected of
having the disease, however, are quite
free from it, Certain Of us require a vo-
luminous cranlal capacity in order TO ac-
commodate the large quantity of brains
which we enjoy. Democritus.

Nearly all the DeLamar people who
went to Boise to attend the Fair have
got home again, and all of them report
the Fair q grand success, upon the
whole, but in some particulars not
what it should have been. The racing
part Of the program receives the great
or portion of the adverse criticism.
The old Fairs held in Boise City quar-
ter of century ago were failure be-
cause racing was made the principal
feature and people perceived they were
all put up jobs. Eliminate that fea-
ture, We public spirited gentlemen, if
you do not want to see your annual
Fairs failure. There is such thing
as honesty in horse racing, we imagine,
but it seldom manifests itself in these
parts. Get into some legitimate racing
association, gentlemen, and then see
that the rules are strictly enforced.

The NUGGET mentioned, a couple of
weeks since, that several DeLamar par
ties had taken up claims upon the low
er portion of Jacobs Gulch. They be-
gan prospecting there several weeks
ago and dug a ditch and sunk holes
sufficient to record seven claims.
Then, the others all being at work in
the mine, one of them, j. S. Demming,
was put on the ground with pan and
rocker. At the end of twenty days he
had seven pounds of amalgam to show
for his twenty days work. 1t is esti-
mated that the seven pounds of ANAL
gam will retort not less than forty
ounces of bullion, worth twelve dollars
an ounce. Let us say $3.50 for twenty
days work. Mr.. Demming claims that
when in proper shape, with ditch and
and water, all the seven men can make
that kind of wages, and that they have
lots of ground at work.
The upper end of Jacobs Gulch pro-
duced vast quantity of the yellow
stuff, thirty years ago, and all of Jor-
dan Creek was worked from above Sill
yer City to Wagontown, a distance of
fully ten miles, in the sixties, and has
been worked over by Cinnamon since.
1t seems almost incredible that this
section of more than a mile of side
gulch should prove to be rich and be
overlooked by prospectors, but seven
pounds of amalgam for twenty days
work seems to prove that such was the
case.
LATER.-Since the above was in type
the amalgam has been retorted and
only weighed 30 ounces, so we take
part of what we said, back.
