HOW A MAMMOTH DIED. y
Description Of Mounted Animal in the
St. Petersburg Museum.


Description OF q Mounted Animal in the
st. Petersburg Museum.
An account is given In Nature of the
mammoth which has been mounted for
exhibition in the Geological Museum at
st. Petersburg. The animal, young
male of rather small size. was found
buried under the Siberian tundra, and
was photographed Mt various stages in
the excavation. Dr. Otto Herr. leader
of an expedition organized by the ST.
Petersburg Imperial Academy. took
the photographs, and some of these
have been presented by Dr. Salensky.
director of the Geological Museum. to
the British Museum; two of them are
reproduced In the article In Nature.
According to the general report pub
lished by DR.. Herr, he began to exca-
vate the specimen from the front. In
this manner he soon discovered the
two fore limbs spread widely apart,
and sharply bent at the wrist. Pro
ceeding backward on the left side he
met with the hind foot
almost at once, and it gradually be-
came evident that the hind limbs were
turned forward beneath the
BODY. DIR. Herr then removed the
skull, and found the well preserved
tongue hanging out of the mandible.
He also noticed that the mouth was
filed with grass, which had been
but not chewed and swal-
Owed Further examination of the
carcass showed that the cavity of the
chest was filed with clotted blood. 1t |

he animal was entrapped by falling |

searches Of DR.. Tolmatschow, the ice

rom snow. 1t is thus quite likely that
he mammoth was quietly browsing on
grassland which formed the thin COW

THE GoLDsEEKER

Half a dozen Mexican cowboys lode

mans hair was long and disheveled,
his eyes were set far back in his head
and his clothes were torn into shreds.
The cowboys came upon him in the
mountains near pool O. water, and
had great difficulty in capturing him.
When he was finally caught with a
lasso the cowboys bound him hand and
foot, tied him on horse and rode with
him to Frontieras, where he was given
food and clothing. Later the cowboys
brought him to Douglas and turned
him over to American authorities.
A party of four white men left
Douglas three months ago for the new
gold fields near Bacochaci, and the
wild man was found to be Fred Russell,
a member of the party. He evidently
became lost from his companions and
wandered in the hills without food and
water and in an intense heat until he
went mad. No information can be
obtained from him. as he is violent.
He will be taken before the probate
judge at Tombstone. and viii without

The development of the highest type

in individuals, who maintain the fam

The Fountain of Youth.

Like pretty much everything else
this matter of having children has
two sides to it, AS a great many chill
dren are failures and as children are
the joint product of heredity and envir-
onment, both elements preponderantly
under parental control. it would seem
more sensible to say that there were
too many people undertaking parental
responsibility instead of too few. And
further, parenthood has many cares
and sorrows and exasperations. Still,
when all is said, how many persons
who found themselves childless at
forty-fve have been able honestly to
congratulate themselves?
Children have use as an assurance
against destitution and loneliness in
old age. They are satisfactory TO the
vanity for family immortality. But
more than these and all other advan-
tages is the advantage of prolonging
ones life. Growing children will keep
any proper man or woman young in
spirit and in mind, will retard the de-
velopment of that sour vet complaccnt
cynicism which curses old age both
for ones self and for those about
one.

A race of Asiatics who consider sui
eide proper and natural deed. and
who help even near relatives to a
speedy death upon request, lives in
the extreme northeastern part of Asia,
and is known as the Chuckchee. Mr..
Waldemar Begoras, a member Of the
Jesup North Pacific Expedition, writes
of these people in Harper's Magazine.
Mr.. Begoras saw strange things among
a people never before visited by white
men. He relates one incident of a
woman whose husband had expressed
wish to die. She held his head in
her lap while his two sons strangled
him with a lasso. 1t was a cheerful
scene, the suicide joking with his last
breath.

CHARLES CARROLL'S BRAVERY.
There is one episode in history which
made a great impression ON me the
first time l remember hearing about it,
and that impression has not been lost
or even become fainter in the years
that have passed since.
1t happened in July, 1776, when a
group of men, the representatives Of
the American people. were gathered to-
gether about a table, signing their
names to that great work known as the
Declaration of Independence.
Among the last to come forward was
a man from Maryland, and after writ
ing his name, Charles Carroll, one Of
the others said to him, IF England
ever gets us in her power we are sure
to be hung as traitors. But there are
other men in the colonies by the name
of Charles Carroll SO you have more of
a chance to escape"
For a moment there was silence. then
Carroll picked up the pen and after his
signature wrote the words; "Of Carroll
ton"-the only man in all those fifty
six to tell the name of the town in
which he lived.
Other things, perhaps. of far more
Importance to the world have taken
place than when Charles Carroll wrote
the name of his town after his own,
but the remembrance Of his unsGfish-
ness and bravery will eves be treas
ured in my mind as an evidence of
those qualities which l most admire

Artifcers in the field of human
beauty are not stopping nowadays with
supplying wigs, symmetricals, face
bleaches and the like, but are actually
advertising eyebrows and eyelashes.
1t is easy to understand how eyebrows
may be produced, but that making of
eyelashes calls for cunning beyound
the ken Of ordinary understanding.
Yet this feat is actually accomplished.
If you want eyelashes you will have
to consult one of the specialists, for
their art is their own and not to be
described. 1t is outside the possibili-
ties that persons would engage in this
business unless they produced some
kind of results, so girls may be warned
against old beaux who have not only
false teeth, false hair, padded legs and
arms, but store" eyelashes and eye
brows as well.-Philadelphia Tele-
