THE VANISHING SEA COW.

A Marine Curiosity That Is Rapidly
 Nearing Extinction.
 One of the largest fish that has in habited the waters of the gulf of Mex leo and the south Atlantic coast of this country and which is almost ex- tinct is known as the nanatee. It was found in great numbers q century ago. and even a few years back this crea- ture was quite plentiful in certain To- caIities.
 It is very gentle for a large fish and easily captured in heavy nets, which are usually stretched across the mouths of rivers emptying into the south At lantic or the gulf of Mexico. The flesh is very delicious and brings a high price, having a strong resemblance to the very finest veal The skeleton is valued at $1O0, and the skin if removed properly and cared for by those who understand its properties will bring a like amount.
 This fish is often from ten to twelve feet in length and weighs about 2.OOO pounds. It is so gentle it will not strike the light craft that happens to be near it, and when captured it shows no resistance whatever.
 It is safe to say that in the next quarter of a century this creature will become extinct unless specimens are preserved simply to prevent the com plete loss of one of our most wonder ful sea creatures.
 It lives wholly on salt water vegeta- tion and growths found in the mouths of the rivers emptying into the sea- New York World.

THE CLOCK OF DEATH.
1t Was the First Astronomical Time
 piece Made In England.

1t Was the First Astronomical Time
 piece Made In England.
 The clock at Hampton court palace derived its unpleasant title by reason of a superstition that whenever any one long resident in the palace dies the clock Immediately stops. 1t is of rec ord that when Anne of Denmark. the queen of James L. died the old time piece was striking four and that it stopped almost before the last stroke sounded. Since that time it is said to have repeated this grisly proceeding each time a royal parsonage within its Jurisdiction died.
 At any rate. the clock has an inter- esting history quite aside from this. It was the first astronomical timepiece made in England. being constructed in 154o for Henry VIII. Thirty-tw years ago it was brought out of a shed where in it had lain neglected for nearly half a century, and by order of the then secretary of the office of works it was re-erected in the courtyard opposite the entrance to the state apartments. There is historical evidence to the ef- feet that it was built by one Nicholas Cratzer. German astronomer who came to England at the invitation of Cardinal Wolsey.
 This old timepiece tells the hour, the month, the day of the month. the po- sition of the sun and the number of days since the beginning of the year. the phases of the moon and its age. the, hour at which it crosses the merid- ian and the time of high water at Lon don bridge. The time required to wind it is half an hour every week. The weights have a descent of over sixty feet.-Harper's

 r do know some few are getting rich es, while we. the working people, are getting poorer, and in my opinion, we have only one thing to do in this alter. namely, see to it that our Congressmen and Representatives are men who have some interest in the common people, as it will take some strong legislation before we will get any relief in this matter. We have got to the age now where the dealers in mostly all commodities can fix a price, and we must pay or go without.

who had a rash on Its head when Il
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle OF Cuticura Re
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His

GEN. cUsTER'S LAST BATTLE
Member Of Newton (Mass.) Police
Force for Many Years, Tells Of
Fight Of Little Big Horn.

Captain John Ryan, for thirty-four
year member of the Newton (Mass.)
police department and veteran of the
Civil and Indian wars, was a first
sergeant of M Troop, 7th u. S. Cav
airy, under General Clusters COM
mand, and has substantiated his claim
of being the man to fire the first and
last shots In the battle of the Little
Big Horn
In 1874 the 7th Cavalry under COM
mand of General Custer, conducted
the Black Hills expedition. for the pur-
pose of determining IL gold existed
In the hills, as the Indians had re-
ported. With the troops were many
mining experts and professors from
several of the large universities.
They explored the hills for ninety
days. The rocky nature of the ground
made 1t very hard on the horses, On
one of these prospecting trips Ryan's
horse lost shoe. Under the rules, IL
his horse became lame he would be
forced to dismount and continue on
foot.
The blacksmith was at the main
camp. but Sergeant Ryan's ingenuity
hit upon a scheme. He had new
cavalry overcoat which had cost him
$14. Cutting of one sleeve, he sewed
up the bottom, placed heavy pads in

horses's hoof, securing 1t above the
fe:JocG. In this manner the animal
was kept from lameness.
The horse of another member of
the detachment gave out, and it had
to be shot. Its unfortunate rider was
forced to walk, but Ryan made good
use of the calamity by removing
shoe With the aid of a geologist'a
hammer he fastened the shoe OIL his
mount, and was able to ride again

on all of Custer's marches and en-
gagements. and he declares that the
animal undoubtedly saved his life in
Clusters last fight.
"On many occasions" said Captain
Ryan, 81 have shared my rations with
my horse, and have even crept around
in the night to pilfer little forage
for him."
Captain Ryan served three years in
Co. C, 28th Mass, and one year In Co.
X. 61st Mass, In the Civil war, and
ten years with General Custer In

that engagement with forty-five men

killed, ten men wounded and all their
horses but nine killed. He is the man
who identified Captain Thomas w.
