Prehistoric Bones Found.

The Carnegie Museum at Pittsbure
will shortly receive a consignment
from one of it's collectors, Mr.. Peter.
sou, which will probably cause i'm
portant discussion in the scientific
world. Mr.. Petersen has discovered
in and below the bed of a creek run
ming near Harrison, Neb., six skele-
ions, perfectly preserved by petreti-
cation. These are the bones Of horses,
beyond possibility Of scientific refuta.
ton, but from their size they prove
conclusively that the prehistoric horse
was much smaller than the animal
as it appears nowadays.
Although the skeletons have not
been set up by Mr.. Petersen, they
are complete. From the measure
ments taken it is apparent that the
horses of the time when these were
alive were about the size of a two
months-old colt Of the present day.
Mr.. Peterson found the skeletons
while prospecting for relics for the
museums. A small bone, seemingly
an ordinary stOEe, gave him the first
clue. Following up his find, he ar
rived at point indicating to his sci
entifc discernment that more bones
were TO be found by digging. Three
Of the skeletons were found one above
the otEer, though q short distance
apart laterally. The other three were
in different parts of the creek bed

Easy Come, Easy Go.

The man who creeps along bent over, wi,
his spinal column feeling in condition tc
snap like pipestem at any minute, would
readily give great deal to get out Of hif
dilemma, and yet this is only the commonest
form by which lumbago seizes on and twists
out Of shape the muscles Of the back. This
is commonly known as backache, crick in
the back, but by whatever name it may be
known, and however bad It may be, 10 min
utes' vigorous rubbing with st. Jacobs Oil on
the afflicted part will drive out the trouble
and completely restore. 1t is thing so easily
caught, it may be wondered at why there is
not more Of it, but because it is so easily
cured by St. Jacobs Oil may be the very rea'
son that we hear 80 little of it.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF Editors,

"Upon publishers and upon editors
rests a responsibility" says Mr.. Allen,
in Harper's. "They will fail both Of
their duty and Of their high privilege
in so far as they yield to the impor-
tunities Of a capricious popular taste.
If they surrender their business to
wholly mercantile purposes, regard
less of the best interests Of literature,
and compete with each other in this
facile and fatal descent, then a gen.
eral publishing syndicate, upon a
purely mercantile basis, will be as
natural and inevitable in it's applica-
ton to literature as 1t has become in
the control Of railroads and the pro-
duction of steel. Fortunately, the
great publishers Of books and periodi-
Gals in this country have maintained a
united front against perilous tenden-
cies, and their competition has been
in the line Of ascent"

Woman's Walking Skirt.

The smart, well cut walking skirt
that comfortably clears the ground
has become a necessity and makes
part of every wardrobe. This grace
full, becoming model is the very latest
May Manton that has appeared and
includes many desirable features. The
back is cut with the new ripple that
falls in graceful folds from q few
inches below the belt, and the founce
means both flare and freedom. The
original is made Of homespun in
mixed shades of brown and tan, but
all checks, cheviots and skirting ma
terials are appropriate.
The skirt is cut in five cores the
side cores being narrow and is with.

to the lower edge. At the right side
is placed a patch pocket with turn
over flap.

Dangers of Alcoholism.

It is needless to enter into details as to
:he consequences entailed by overindulg-
ance in the use of alcohol. Most of US
Are familiar with cases of ruined lives and
wretched homes as the result of the fatal
habit, and in these days of high pressure
living it is becoming more and more COM
non. Mental worry, overwork, i'll health,
want of sufficient nourish,nent and cloth
ing, tend to swell the numbers of chronic
alcoholists, and the habit so easily ac-
luired is extremely difficult to relinquish.
The real danger to the race, however.
lies in the fact that the great majority OF
nebriates need no incentive to acquire
;he habit; they are born with the tenden-
:y, and it is to this cause chiefly that we
must ascribe the increase in the number
If deaths from chronic alcoholism during
the last twenty.three years. A reference
to the table of statistics shows that in

IS the result of chronic alcoholism: in
1893 these figures had more than doubled
themselves. the number then being re-
turned as sixty-ive per 100000 of popula-
lion.

conclusion arrived at by some of the most
eminent men OF the day:

Of amethystire dye
Encincturing the horizon ways;
