MAMMoTHs AND MAsTopoNs
Contrary to Supposition They Were
 Often Smaller than Jumbo.


 The fine specimen of the tusks and palate of an imperial mammoth has recently been acquired by the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History, New York. The specimen was discovered in the sands of western Texas, and the tusks are little short of the largest yet described among either living or fossil members of the elephant fam fly. So far as preserved, the tusks measure 13 feet inches from the base to the tips, and there is at least a foot broken away from the end, mak- ing a total estimated length of IA feet 6 inches.
 The height of this mammoth must have been at least fourteen feet, or about two feet higher than that of the famous African elephant Jumbo, the skeleton of which is in the same museum. Very few mammoths reach ed this size and the majority were decidedly smaller than Jumbo. Several more or less entire carcasses of man. moths have been discovered in Si- Derla, ana one was so well preserved that it has been stuffed and mounted like a modern quadruped in the Im- perial Museum at St. Petersburg. When the German Ocean was dry land, and Great Britain part of pen. insula, the mammoth lived in Eng land, and it's fossil remains are not only found on the land, but are rep resented by hundreds of mammoth teeth dredged from the depths of the North Sea by trawlers. The American mastodon was relative of the man. moth, but differed from it in being more massive and somewhat lower. No entire remains of mastodon have been discovered, but from those avail able it is possible to obtain a good idea of what the animal was like in life.-Leisure Hour.

THE "SHAKESPEARE" BIBLE.
Famous Book Sold at Auction to an
 American for $1 ,O5O.

Famous Book Sold at Auction to an
 American for $1 ,O5O.
 At Sothebys recently there was off, fered for sale an imperfect copy of the Bible printed by k. Barker in 1913 -the New Testament dated 1611- valueless except for some MS. inscrip- tions of more or less interest. The Bible belonged to w. Sharp Ogden, of Rusholme, Manchester, whose grand father, well-known collector of books and prints, bought it for sov- ereign or two in 1850, and later re- fused $75 for it.
 On the reverse of the title of the New Testament is civilian Shake speare, 1614," and on the end cover, "Willm. Shakspere, off s. O. A. (Strat- ford-on-Avon), his Bible, 1613." There are several other inscriptions, one of these showing that seventeen years after Shakespeare's death it belonged to John Fox, of Warwick. The catal- ogue also suggests some connection between Thomas Hall and James Hall, to whom, early in the eighte euth century, the Bible belonged, and John Hall, who married Shakespeare's daughter. But no evidence on the point is forthcoming.
 The pedigree of the book was re- garded by dealers as satisfactory. AS to the Shakespeare signatures, opinion varies within wide limits. The folio was started at about S250, an'l Messrs. Pearson bought it on behalf of an American client for $1,OO0- quite as much as was anticipated.
 Several other classics of the sale room were also bought by private col lectors for considerable sums Robin son Crusoe," with the Further Ad- ventures" and Serious Recollections," three volumes, original calf, made $1,25O-not very far short of the au- thor's record established ill 1908; the 1885 folio Shakespeare, full, $505-$7l0 is the highest sum ever obtained for it under the hammer--and "The Vicar of Wakefield" 1776, published at 12s..

Virtues of the Swiss.

I did not meet a tramp, encounter a beggar or person the least intoxi- cated during my stay in Switzerland. Of how few countries in Europe or America can this be truthfully said ? There may be small percentage of drunkenness but if 1t exists 1t is kept out of sight. A thriftier, cleaner, more wholesome body of people, who care fully observe sanitary laws in their homes, I have never met in my various travels. They are as tidy and neat as the housewives of Holland or the Pennsylvania Quakers. No wonder Switzerland is prosperous country. It owes much of its good fortune to the practical intelligence of its law-abiding citizens.-London Caterer.

WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW
Trouble in Getting People to Stick
 Them on the Envelope.


 "When postage stamps first came in to use," said a veteran postal clerk, "the public didn't know how to handle them. You remember how, when tea and coffee first appeared among us, the people fried the tea leaves and the cof- fee berries and served them with salt and pepper? Well, the people treated their stamps as absurdly in 1854.
 "Some folks would put thes tamps inside their letters, out of sight. Here is the official notice that we issued to stop that practice"
 The clerk took from the drawer aD aged bulletin that said:
 "The stamps upon all letters and packages must be affixed on the out side thereof and above the address thereon"
 He put back this bulletin and drew forth another one.
 People would pin the stamps on their letters instead of cumming them," he said, land when they did gum them they would not do it right; hence this second bulletin" and he read:
 Persons posting letters should af. fix the requisite number of stamps pre- vious to depositing them in the letter receivers, as when posted in damp state the stamps are liable to rub off and thereby cause the letters to be treated as unpaid. Do not pin on the stamps"
 "Still," said the clerk "the public didn't understand. Think of it-it didn't understand the simple matter of sticking postage stamp on a letter. So we got out third bulletin"
 The third bulletin, in big, impatient letters, said
 "The simplest and most effectual method of causing stamps to adhere firmly is first to moisten well the out side of the stamps and afterward the gummed side slightly, taking care not to remove the gum"
 The clerk said that philatelist had offered him $12 apiece for these three queer ulletins.-Galveston Tribune.

POSTING THE GLOVE.
Old Custom Still to Be Found in Parts
 of England.

One of these old world customs, dating from time immemorial, which are still to be found hourishing in parts of rural England, was observed at Honiton recently, when i'll quaint phraseology the annual fair was for mally declared open, says the London Mail. Attired in costume somewhat resembling that of the ancient parish beadles, with three-cornered hat, blue coat and trousers and waistcoat, plen- tifully ornamented with gilt braid, the town crier of the ancient borough took up his stand at midday outside the market house. As the hour struck this gorgeously attired official delivered himself of the following announce ment!
 "Oyez! oyez! oyez! The fairs be- gun. The glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down. God save the king"
 This proclamation, which was made in the presence of the borough officials and members of the council, annually attracts a large crowd of visitors and sightseers and the assemblage repeats In chorus the words of the proclama- tion. The announcement is also made fin other parts of the town, and at the conclusion of each stoppage nuts are thrown for the crowd to scramble for
 The fair dates back to the time of Henry H., when Isabella de Fortibus was the lady of the manor. The "glove' is q large gilt model of tile glove or hand, affixed to the top of q long pole. It is displyed or the bal cony of an ancient hostelry in the cen ter of the cattle fair on the Wednes- day, and on Thursday is removed to the other end of the town, where the horse fair is held. The promised i'm munity from arrest is relic of "tho good old days" when the debtors laws were in existence.

Russia's Lack of Statesmeu.

As a matter of fact, there has not been statesman of the first class in Russia since Peter the Great, and none of the second class unless Nesselrode and the first Emperor Nicholas are to be excepted. To consider Prince Gort- chakoff a great chancellor on account of his elaborate dispatches is absurd
 To call him great statesman, in the time of Cavour, Bismarck, Lincoln and Seward, is preposterous. Whatever growth Russia has made in the last forty years has been mainly in spite of the men who have posed before the world as her statesmen: the atmos- phere of Russian autocracy is fatal to greatness in her public men.--Century
