Pittsburg Dispatch, sis the mangos-

thing like those of an orange, only each
one growing smaller as they round the
core. Each section contains one seed
incased in n substance like the pulp of
the grape. To describe the flavor would
be impossible, but II you can imagine
a perfect blending of the flavor of the
grape, orange, pineapple and banana
you may have a notion of the delicious
flavor of the mangosteen."

nodies Turned to stone.

Human bodies buried in limestone
countries are often turned to solid stone
by the limewater which penetrates the
graves. In other soils there are ele.
ments which sometimes so embalm the
buried dead as to preserve form anG
features unchanged. Many such cases
are on record. Robert Burns body was
disinterred in 1915 to be removed to O
new tomb. To the surprise of all his
friends the features were found to be
as perfect as at burial. When the body
Of John Hampden, the famous Englisl
patriot and leader, was disinterred BY
Lord Nugent 200 years after burial. tn,

A big feature and a taking one
with pretty nearly all classes OF
theatre goers is the old plantation
songs and pastimes by genuine
negroes, such as existed in the old
south on the big plantations in the
ante. bellum times. Twas in the
evening when the days work in
cotton fields was done and massa
had gone to bed-in the darkened
days OF slavery, that the dusky
tsilers were wont to gather togeth-
er around their humble huts and
there hold high carnival under the
pale light of the moon. Almost
true to nature and tradition is the
plantation scenes presented by
Manager Washburn of the Stetson
Company in Uncle Toms Cabin,
which is booked to appear at the
La Junta Theatre on Friday, Jam
uary 3ist. All the old melodies
are sung in that rich piaintive
voice SO peculiar to the southern
darkey. Songs that our daddies
sang when they went to war, and
songs that our mothers hummed
as they rocked their babies to
sleep. 1.-The Old Folks at Aome, "

Company, a wonderful exposition
Of life in the sunny south among
the slaves is given. IL shows the
black man IN his Joys and ms
sorrows so realistically that it is
hard to imagine the spectator is
not actually on the plantation.
The evolution Of the negro since
the late unpleasantness is iorcibly
demonstrated in the great cake

dusky bellies and beaux vie with
each other to win the cake. The
