charge him. He says that he was
tired out, having worked night and
day for some time, and did not realize
the danger until it was too late. His

A Mastodon's Tusk Found.

Workmen engaged in excavating In
the sand at the east end OF the
Kramer elevator, this morning, found
/ 49, uuuVuoI~ulJ - l44~sUOuOI
tusk. 1t was found in the sand at a
depth of five or six feet. The tusk is
between five and six inches 10 diam
eter. They took out about ten feet
OF it. Several feet more are still i'm.
beaded in the sand, and will be taken
out after supper tonight. The tusk
is OF ivory, but is rotten and crumbles
easily. The specimen is of value to
biologists and universities. 1t would
make valuable specimen fur the
County High school.
MastodOn tusks are frequently
found in Kansas, Colorado and WyOm.
ing. These states are the most fruit
ful field for the PeolOgist in search
of the remains of this extinct AMI
nal. The mastOdon, as near as Can
be reckOned, became extinct at the
end Of the glacial period, about the
time man first appeared on the earth.
This vas over a million years ago.
It's barely possible that primitive
man saw the animal, but there is
no evidence to that effect except a
crude drawing found among the
relics Of men who inhabited the earth
at the end Of the glacial period. The
mastOdOn was several times larger
than an elephant and belonged to
the elephant family. His tusks were
from eight to twenty feet in length.
He was migratory, like the buffalo,
and lived in regions below the terri
tory covered by the glaciers that
drove life and vegetation from the
poles. The mastodOn's tusk found
this morning is undoubtedly a mlllion
years Old-pOsssibly many times that.
| The animal may have died hundredsOi
miles from this place and its remains
washed here by the floods or carried
by the sea which once covered this
whole country, but the tusk has with
out doubt been in the exact position
and spot in which it was found, fol
thousands of years.
An effort will be made this evening
TO uncover the bones of the mastodon
1t is not likely, however, that they
will be found, as they have been
washed and tossed about by the fl3od,
of ages ago.

A Rad Place For Fat Men.

Among the ancient Spartans every
thing was considered secondary to mil
itary efficiency, and with view to Sc
curing this the boys and men were by
law kept in continual state of ''train-
ing No deformed child was allowed
to live. The boys were taken from their
homes and subjected to military regu
lations at the age of 2. They were COM
PEELED to wear the same single garment
winter and summer. At 20 they joined
the ranks, and from that age till they
reached go were required to dine at the
public tables, where only certain
quantity was supplied for each man.
The magistrates interfered in absurdly
small matters. They regulated the de-
gree Of fatness to which it was lawful
for any citizen to extend his body.
Those who dared to grow too fat or
too soft for military service and exer-
else were sometimes soundly hogged.
Aelian, in his history, relates that
Nauclis. son of Polytus, was brought
before the ephors (magistrates) and the
whole assembly of Sparta. and "his un-
lawful fatness" was publicly exposed,
and he was, threatened with perpetual
banishment if he did not bring his bodj
within the regular Spartan compass
and give up the culpable mode Of living.
which was declared to be more worthy
of an Ionian than Spartan"

A Queer Examination.

Difficulties of the civil service exami-
nations are multiplied tenfold in the
requirements set down by law Of appli-
cants for positions in the mail service
of China.
In the first place an applicant must
have strength and courage. To acquire
these he goes through very queer
method of training. He wanders through
mountains and valleys, forests and
caves The exact time to be occupied in
trip is fixed by law, and heavy fine
imposed for unnecessary delay. He
must repeat these trips at night, and if
he listens to the bad spirits and there
by fails to appear at the required time
at a certain place he is sure to lose his
rights to position.
This is not ALL He is obliged to carry
an enormous weight for many miles
and return with it within given time
No allowance is made for his inability
to defend himself against thieves and
highwaymen, his road usually leading
through district thick with bandits.
In training the candidate eats very
little-though he is used to this-and
he tries every straining exercise. Then
comes his real examination under the
direction of government officials. He is
taken into long room, where, sus'
pended from high beam with strong
ropes, are very heavy sacks filled with
rocks.
The candidate must give swinging
motion to all these sacks and then run
to and fro between them, carefully
guarding against blow by one of the
weights. NJ

Scared into Appendicitis.

-':I had appendicitis the other day."
said a st. Charles street business man;
''that is to say, had it to all intents

tracted it: About week ago borrow
ed a medical work from friend to look
up point about which I was curious.
1t was a work on diagnosis, and among
other things it gave minute descrip-
tion of the symptoms Of appendicitis.
I have always been much afraid. of the
malady, and that chapter had hideous
fascination for me- Tread it and reread
it, and as I did so it seemed to me that
some of the premonitory signs coincid-
ed exactly with certain aches and pains
I had felt for several days. got alarm
ed at once, and that night was panic
stricken by severe cramp little
northeast of my right hip bone. That l
knew to be the fatal spot, and, needless
to say, I didn't sleep wink.
"By morning had all the symptoms
Df a typical case and could scarcely
get around to see the doctor. I began
to tell him my story when he stopped
me. How do you come to know SO
much about the disease2' he asked.
~ replied proudly that I had been
reading mp on it.
"'The dickens you havel' he replied.
We'll, you get right out of this office,
confound you, and don't waste any
more of my time!
"Then he explained that every med
ical student always has all the diseases
on record, in regular order, just as he
studies 'em, and began to feel better.
I went home, returned the blasted
book, and am now entirely out CT dan

u. -


England had famous poison mystery
quarter If century ago. Two men,
bers of great club in Manchester, both
men of position and keen politicians,
each received. apparently as New
Years gift, small boxes containing a
few cigars Of the very highest quality
apparently. Both were taken fearfully
i'll after smoking. and one of them sub
sequently died.
The cigars were found to be loaded
with poison, and it was said that the
man who recovered only did go because
he used cigar holder. The facts were
at first hushed up, because, as was said,
the suspected sender, whose motive was
revenge on account of lady. was a
man Of wealth and power.
But this subject was cleared, and the
mystery was deepened by the following
circumstances: A rich Manchester mer-
chant, travelling one day in a railway
car about the time of the incident re-
lated, got into conversation with most
agreeably and highly cultivated stran-
ger, who finally offered his cigar case.
The Manchester man was found at
Leeds almost unconscious and the only
occupant of the carriage. He grasped in
one of his convulsed hands the cigar he
had been smoking and after analysis
showed it to be identical with the 9th
ers. He recovered, but the stranger was
never discovered.
