THEY WILL DIG / Up
Shelton of Mammoth DiScov-
cred Years Ago
WAS FOUND IN A WELL
Some Bones Sent to Baker
University

Ottawa, May ga geological discovery
to be developed on one of the lots, where
L. Shugart no whas his feed yard The
| discovery, which was originally made
some years ago, was the remains OF a
mammoth. That an animal of more than
| twice the bulk and more than one-third
| again as high as the largest elephant
should have at one time roamed over this
country, may seem somewhat strange,
yet IL is known that at one time such
animals lived in this section of the Unit
ed States and the discovery mentioned
is but an additional proof of the fact.
The discovery was made about twenty
five years ago by some workmen who
were digging a well on the lot at the
time. When they had gone down about
twenty feet, they struck something
which they supposed TO be a stone, but
which proved on examination to be part
of the skeleton of mammoth. The head
of the animal was just inside the edge
of the well and its body lay in a north
westerly direction from this. At the time
few of the teeth and some of the
but no one there seemed to realize their
value as geological specimens and the
well wa swalIed up and nothing was done
about the matter. Some of the bones
We're sent to Baker university. some of
them to Ottawa university and H. B.
Paramore is in possession of the remain
der. Some teeth which are now at the
college museum are supposed to be the
ones belonging to the animal. They have
been there for several years and the par
ties who saw the ones taken from the
well say they are the same.
The size of the teeth viii give some
idea of the immense size of the animal
One of the molars is eight inches long
and has grinding surface fifteen inches
long by five inches wide. The teeth would
indicate that the animal belonged TO the
species Elephos Americans, which lived
during the quaternary period of the
worlds history. The animal was much
larger than the largest known species of
the elephant and possessed many charac-
teristics in common with the elephant of
this age.
The incident of the discovery, which
had been forgotten except by a few
directly connected with it, was recalled
by the changes which have been recently
made on the lots. Considerable interest
has been manifested OF late in the re-
mains and it is probable that an effort
will be made to secure the entire skele-
ton for the college museum. Mr.. Shugart
has interested himself in the enterprise.

an attendant brings an embroidered
towel bowl to each, with which she
wipes the lady's fingers after ablution
and leaves it with her. The other end
is then thrown over the left shoulder,

HOW THE TURKISH WOMAN THE PRIVACY OF THE HAREM

The fashion of having English women

daughters of a Turkish family has CIV

pleasant side of Turkish life than the
occasional travellers tales afforded.

of pride with the upper class still, says
the Faulbourg st. German, of SIAM
boul, to exercise the dexterity of their
fingers. The hands of the Turkish
women are small white and delicate;
they are bathed and mapped before
touching the food; and, If it be Joint,
with the aid of spoon only they OPP
crate each for her portion without
touching another's territory of roast.
The Dinner Is Varied and Dainty.
Then, too, the character of the din
ner is one CT variety and daintiness.
The table is served with many dishes.

as eleven to fifty removes, according

delicate pancakes, interdressed with

plenty is cooked, with a view to the

The tobacco is extremely delicate, so
delicate that the American cigarette
would be thing of horror to a Turkish
woman, who smokes delicately, perhaps
three whiffs, of a scented tube.
If guest is present-a woman guest,

men at her table-the husband does not

family only are with him-wife, daugh-

An educated Turk loves to entertain

Turkish woman will receive politely.

in good will and offers no airs of mis-

The Turkish women are good to their
servants, and it is almost unknown
that one leaves service. A slave, how

"T DEVIL" Jerry shouted.
That was mistake. He had put it
briefly. partly from breathlessness,
partly because the SOW would not stop
to let him explain. And the rector
took it in the wrong spirit. He looked
panied and turned away. Plainly, he
thought Jerry was in liquor, instead
of perfectly sober and in a terrible
predicament.
'T' devil, T. very devil!" Jerry re-
peated frantically. Another moment
and he would be beyond reach. What
was it Mr. Stallycoot was saying?
Beware, JUL, for the devil you are
thus thoughtlessly invoking goes about

groaned. ''Halp!"

given to us all-but l do say habits of
temperance, moderation and industry.

But Jerry had gone whizzing past,
and the advice was lost upon him.
Zig-zag went the SOW, and zig-zag the

and gorse, waist deep in thorns and

The SOW was addressing him this
time, and by name. 1t gave Jerry
hope that by a show of Difference he
might conciliate her
But g-r-r-r-mp! At that she was off
more terrifically than ever. The wind
positively whistled past Jerry's ears;
six tall brambles he was taking in at
a stride; it seemed at this pace they
must soon come to the rim of the
world. And while he was wondering
what the end of it all would be, and
if the little pig could really be keeping
up, the SOW plunged vehemently down
into a green and dismal ooze with
dive and a wallow, and there was Jerry
neck high in mud, half choked, and the
impish pig alongside kicking mud in
his eyes.

emerged the other side, preparatory to
