Strange Story Of a Watch.

A strange experience recently befen George Dietz, formerly resident of Chester, Pa, but at the present time in the jewelry business in Honolulu. MT, Dietz has recovered a watch which he lost over thirty years ago at Gettys- burg. He was fighting for the north oa that bloody battlefield when he dropped it. The watch was recently brought into the jewellers shop by Harry Ellis of the Kansas volunteers. The soldier, who was bound to Manila, wanted to sell it. On being asked where he got it he said his father, who had found it on the battlefield of Get tysburg, had given it to him. The jew eler opened it and saw his name scratched on it. He lost no time h making a trade with the soldier.

Jaw of a Huge Unclas Animal
 Found in New Mexico.

JAW of a Huge Unclassified Animal
 Found in New Mexico.
 Santa Fe New Mexican: The fossil remains of strange prehistoric animal were discovered recently at Postmaster Nusbaums ranch, at Teseuque. AL phonso Doekweiler, who has charge of digging ditch through a ridge on the ranch, picked Up piece of petrified bEne the shape of a large tongue, but with a row of twelve teeth along what seemed to be the tip of the tongue. He dug a little further and found the re- mainder of what seemed to be the jaw af an animal that was part ichthyosau- rus and part plesiosaurus, with some of the characteristics of the pterodactyl, perhaps. The jaw consisted of about twenty layers of bone in the shape of a tongue, and each layer was armed with dozen teeth, which showed that the animal was herbivorous and not car niyorous. These twenty layers were evidently the upper jaw of the animal. MT. Dockweiler expects to find the low CT jaw and perhaps all of the remains of the strange animal As much as he has found he will bring to this city and from here ship it to the Smithson- ian institution in Washington. Two layers of the jaw were brought to the city by J. c. SchumanG and shown to friends, who were all puzzled by their unusual shape Il is we'll known that Che surroundings of Santa Fe abound with submarine fossil remains, which seem to prove that in long-gone-by ages the site of the city was covered by a sea. Only half a mile up the ar royo 4nd canyon that branch off Pal ace afenue, near the old brewery, pret- ty petrifed seashells are to be found, At many other places there are unmis- takable signs of the erosion of the waves and footprints of gigantic pre-
 historic amphibians, who made their home both in the water and on the land in the days when the highest peaks of the Rocky mountain range were only islands in vast ocean.

LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy and Contented and
 Crime Almost Unknown.

Crime Almost Unknown.
 From the New York Times: Few people ever think of St. Helena except as rock in the sea on which Napoleon lived a while miserably a1fd then more miserably died. That the greatest of anti-climaxes was not the end of the little islands history is hard to realize, possibly because a poet or romancer would have made it the end, and c continuation is therefore more or less unnatural and absurd. Be that as It may, St. Helena has remained the abid ing place of ordinary human beings who concern themselves very littls about the colossal ghost generally SUD- posed to be the islands only inhabi tant, and the report to the English government just made by their gov ernor shows that they have joys and sorrows exactly like those of the folks dwelling in places less tragically fa- mous. For instance, the revenues Of he island last year were 89,152, de-
 idcdly comfortable sum, but alas! the expenditures amounted to 6 ,349, and that is an excess of outgo not comfort able at all. The governor says. how eyer, that the bad balance was tue to some extraordinary drains upon the islands resources, and that he antici- pates q substantial surplus for the cur rent year. A recent increase of tha garrison and extensive improvements now making by the colonial and im- perial authorities assure the imme- diate prosperity of the islanders. St. Helena Las no public debt, but is pay ing off by small annual installments a noninterest-bearing grant of { 1000 made by parliament in 1871. The im- ports, chiefly foodstuffs and building materials, amounted last year to G62,- 985, and the exports, almost wholly po- tatoes to e4.391. Lacemaking has been introduced among the girls of the is- land with great success, and the gov ern0r is experimenting with the manu- faeture of brick and tile. The whal- CTS have now entirely deserted St. Helena, the few ships engaged in that industry keeping far to the north or south. The total population of the is- land is 4.E43. The governor hopes that winter Yisitors from England may be tempted by the salubrity of the eli mate to try St. Helena, which is su- perior he says. in some respects to that of Madeira and the Canary islands. He says 1he people as a whole compare favo1ably with the English agrieul- tural population; with few exceptions all can read and write, and the 1an- guage is spoken with greater purity than in many districts at home. As a rule, the people are happy and con tented, with little crime among them and much kindness in helping each other. Strangers are greatly impressed with the general ciyility shown by thenl to old and young.

Chased by a Ball of I te.


 A member of a Swiss scientific so- ciety thus tells how he was chased by a ball of fire: "At 6:30 o'clock I drove from Versoix to Genthoud. On the Malagny road the eoaehman's eyes be- came so much fatigued by intense lightning that he couldn't, even in the intervals, see the road. I stepped onto the box and took the reins. We had barely passed the gate of Dr. Marcel when I became conscious of bright and lasting luminosity behind me. turned around and saw at a distance of 300 yards ball of fire of about sixteen inches diameter. Just as the ball was about seventyfve feet to our right 1t burst with a terrific noise, and it seemed as if lines of fire started from it. We felt violent shaking and re- mained blinded a few seconds. Then l saw that the horses had turned at a right angle to the carriage, with their chests in the hedge, with dropping ears and signs Of great terror"
 Woman Killed Wildcat.
 Susquehanna tPa.) spec. Phlladei- phia Inquirer: Alarmed by the cries of her poultry Mrs. Hampstead, of Cas- cade Valley, the other evening went into her barn, where she saw a large wildcat eating a turkey. She returned to the house, secured an ax, returned to the barn and gave battle to the wild cat, killing it after a severe struggle. in which she was painfully lacerated and her clothing was badly torn. The wildcat weighed thirty pounds.

A Poor Party With Cheap Methods.

-Aleng with half dozen other third
parties the Prohibitionists have now
put into the field national ticket
This is done in part from honest prin-
habit. 1t will do the cause of temper
ance no good and probably no harm ::
and like the nominations of the Middle
Of the Road Populsts and the Social
ist-Labor party, it will have no effect
upon the quito one of the campaign. All
sane persons realize that prohibition is
not an issue in national politics. Not
a vote cast for the ticket will advance
the cause of prohibition a fraction of
an inch. The only purpose served by
the Prohibition campaign is to confuse
voters as to the real issues, and lead
them to throw away their votes. In
fact, votes cast for the Prohibition
ticket may be more than thrown away,
for they may be the means of putting
in power the greatest enemies of tenn
perance and prohibition.
The Prohibitionists have nominate
John G.. Wooley of Illinois, for Presi-
dent and Henry 3. Metcalf of Rhode
Island. for his running mate. The
former is reformed drunkard which
is certainly to his credit; and he is also
an orator, fact which will insure a
lively campaign. Mr.. Metcalf is a man
of means and will supply the sinews of
war. If this party ever had any claims
upon the American people, which is eX-
tremely doubtful. it forfeited them in
its recent convention by it's bitter and
vulgar vituperation of President Nc
Kinley. Processing as it does. to be
party of moral principle and of lofty
motive. it made a most indecent spec
tacle of itself in the convention of last
week.
For instant. in their platform the
Prohibitionists declare that President
Mckinley has done more to encourage
the liquor business, to demoraliZe the
temperance habits of young men, ana
to bring Christian practices and re-
quirements into disrepute than any
other President this republic ever had
Every honest and fair-mnded man
knows that this is lie. President Nc
Kinley in his practice and his policy is
the friend of temperance and of every
virtue. A more consistent Christian
gentleman was never in the Executive
chair of the nation. The statement in
the platform is Il base calumny, an in
excus able exhibition of political vim
dictiveneSs that ought to be the death
knell Of the party making it.

Men do not like to go to doctors. Nine
times out of ten they wait until they are
laid flat on their backs before they will
consult physician. There is some reason
in this, for when a business man feels out
of sorts and goes to physician, he is often
given violent drugs that make him, for q
time, unfit for business and really sick.
There is a way of avoiding both extremes
that of neglecting the health and that of
taking violent drugs that rack the entire
system-it is always to keep on hand a
bottle of DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. If man will resort to this great
medicine whenever he feels that he is out
of sorts and threatened with illness, be
may keep in good health 1t is the great
appetite sharpener, blood maker and flesh
builder. 1t fills the arteries with the rich,
red, tissue building blood of health. 1t
does not make flabby fat like cod liver oil,
but the solid, muscular and nerve tissues
of health. 1t does not uake corpulent peo-
pie more corpulent.

The school authorities of New York
have voted to do away with the teach
ing of vertical penmanship, having
come to the conclusion that it is not
practical and is not liked by business
execution. In most places. however,
where vertical penmanship has been
tried it has become popular, and is re-
garled as something more substantial
than an educational hobby.
