Spartanburg, Nov. S.-This

A great deal has been written about
the beautiful home of Mrs. Child of
Philadelphia that vas bought with all
its furnishings by Mrs. Knox. 1t is
without doubt one of the most elegant
ly furnished and palatial homes in
America. Mr.. and Mrs. Knox have
made some notable additions to this
house, and one very unique and hand
some article of furniture is a large
screen brought from thei home in
Pittsburg. This is painted in Indian
genes by 4 California artist, and be
longed in the library of their home in
that city. This library is all lone in
frescoes of Indian pictures which are
characteristic OF the west, and are es-
pecially fiamboyant in coloring. 1t was
an original idea of Mr.. KnoX's to have
his library treated in this manner, and
it makes a most luxurious and inter
esting apartment. Recently. when Mrs.
Knox dined the president and his cab
met, the dining room was SO hand
somely arranged, all in white and gold,
that the president expressed his admir-
alton in a very graceful compliment to
the hostess.

picnic story: "A picnic party Of Hope
fontein, composed Of school children

their outing favored with a degree Of
excitement which does NOT usually fall
to the lot Of picnickers. During the
day It became known that one Of the
coats on the farm had been killed by
q leopard in open daylight. Several Of
the boys Of the farm went in pursuit of
the marauder, which was discovered
early in the afternoon. and two we'll
aimed shots ended his career. but not
before It had ciawed two Of the ma

was that of q fairly large animal, was

A wonderful manuscript book on
archaeology has just been presented to
the library OF congress by Thomas Will
son, LII. D., of Washington. The au-
b o Of the work in question. Mr.. S.
II. Binkley. a farmer of Montgomery
county, Ohio. dicd in 1900, at the age
Of "a years.
Mr.. Binkley employed ais spare time
Tor the last twenty years of his life
In writing this book. or rather printing
1t with pen and ink. and illustrating it
with drawings in black nd white and
color. which nave the tneness Of en-
cravings and Autographs.
The objects described and illustrated
are the common utensils of the aborig-
ina inhabitants of this country. and
embrace arrow and spear heads Of bone
and stone. domestic belongings OF va.
rious kinds, working implements. cary
ings. etc.
Professor w. X. Moorchead Of New
YORK. who. through Il mere accident,
became possessed of the unique vol
ume. thus speaks of the author accord
ing to the few facts which ne has been
enabled TO gather concerning him:
y. H.. Binkley was 4 gentleman
farmer OF the old school. Whether he
was a college graduate or not | an
unable to say, but my Impression is
that he educated himself. He possessed
a fine farm in the Miami bottoms
south Of Dayton. in Montgomery coun-

ETC.. OF prehistoric remains upon his
property and the presence Of these
turned his attention to archaeological
matters.
Mr.. Binkley began to collec, Indian
relics, and up to 1889 had gathered
from his immediate neighbour Iod a
very comprehensive exhibit of more
than 10000 specimens. He also wiot
scientific and popular articles for sew
eral magazines and newspapers.
Mr.. Binkley conceived the ilea of a
hand-printed book. with Illustration
drawn by himself. in which he would
describe his collection. He began this
work about 1870. and continued it ny
to a year before his death, in 1900. II
may be seen by an examination OF his
books that Binkley's observations are
all reasonable up to within a few
pages Of the end of the volume.
He wrote but a few pages each yeal
Tin the winter, and spent hours upor
the drawings and printing of words
After he had passed his Goth year Che
died at the age Of 94) his mind became
clouded. and he saw in many Of the
stones faces'of apes. etc.
This book is remarkable in that |,
shows a vast amount nj painstakine
labor. the discerning eye of q compe.
tent collector. and the ~pleasurable &C.
cupation Of a gentleman farmer who
cared more for these matters than he
| did for his estate. 1t is one of the rare
examples OF patience and take your
time in this bustling world Of fever

This is the advice which many Aus.

for the following reason: DR.. Oku-

which it came in contact. Twenty
days is the usual duration of life in
such germs, and during all hat time
they are contagious. According to DR..

quickly destroys any typhus germs
