EARLY MEN IN AFRICA.
TRACES OF RACE THAT HUNTED
ANIMALS LONG EXTINCT.
Interesting Discovery of Mammalian
Bones and Human Implements
Made by Scientist Near
mfontein-Proves
Old Theory.

A most interesting discovery has
lately been made showing the exist
ence of a primitive race Of men in
South Africa. Doctor Broom, of Ger
miston, whose archaeological and geo.
logical researches have made his
name familiar to scientists in Europe
and America, told Of a specially inter-
erting discovery recently made of a
hot spring 80 miles north Of BlOem-
fontein, in the course of operations
designed to open up the eye of the
spring. To do this it was necessary
to tunnel into a sand hill, and in the
course of the operations the workmen
came upon a large quantity of man.
malian bones associated with human
implements and a quantity of charred
wood.
The significance Of the discovery
was realized by the first finders, but,
fortunately, a Dutch woman in the
district suspected they had scientific
value, and prevented the finds from
being dispersed. Doctor Broom went
down and examined them. He found
that the bones were chiefly those of
hippopotami, Gland, the huge eXtint
buffalo of South Africa, whose horns
used to attain span of twelve feet;
the gigantic Cape horse long since ex-
tinct, which far exceeded the Clydes-
dale in size; an extinct variety Of
wild beeste; the wart hog, and a num-
Der of small buck, not yet identified.
Previous discoveries had caused sci
entists to believe that man had lived
in South Africa contemporaneously
with the extinct giant buffalo, but the
proofs available were inconclusive.
DR.. Bloom regards this discovery as
proving their co-eXistence beyond
doubt The find further proves that
extinct animals were killed and their
bones broken, and indicates that their
flesh was cooked by some primitive
race of human beings. The imple-
ments found included stone knives
and large spear heads. but no evil
dences were found of the presence Of
what are regarded as typical Bush
man stones.
At present there is some doubt as
to the race to which the human be-
ings who hunted these giant buffalo
In this connection it has
been noted that the bones of an ex-
.inct buffalo and horse possibly iden-
.ical with those discovered in South
Africa have been found in Algeria. It
s thought possible, therefore. that
he tribe which hunted them migrat-
ID south along with these extinct ami
nails during the last ice age. 1t Is
urther thought that those ancient peo-
lie were probably white and of Euro
,ean stock. Doctor Broom has sent
representative collection of the
zones to Cape Town.

Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Fits

Mrs. Elizabeth Fits, who for several
months past has made her home with w.
II. Worden at Cady's Falls, died sudden
ly last Thursday morning. She had be IN
in poor health for some time, but her
death was unexpected, it being due to old
age. She was SO years old Sept. % last.
Mrs. Fits was born in Canada, and is
survived by one brother, Lester Boom
hover of Brooklyn, Conn, and several
nieces and nephews. She was twice mar
pie, by whom she had one child, which
died in infancy. She lived in Canada
some time, but for a number of years re-
sided in Addison county, where she mar
red second time. After the death of
her last husband she came to Lamoille
county and has resided in Hyde Park the
greater part of the time since 1900.
The funeral was held from the Cong'l
church in this village last Saturday after
noon, Rev. w. E. Baker of Morrisvile, in
the absence of Rev. w. r. Hamln, officia-
ting, and the burial was in this place.
Mrs. Fits was an earnest christian and
greatly afflicted in body, and
otherwise meeting with misfortune and
sorrow. she bore all with christian forti-
tude, having implicit confidence in Him
whom she loved and served, believing
that all the trials and adversities that
came to her were for her good.

GERMAN METHOD HAS WORTH
Heads of Cities of the Empire Chosen
as Would Be Heads of Business
Institutions.

The German cities have been able
10 get their huge municipal invest
ments intelligently and honestly ex-
pended because they have treated mu-
hleipal government as profession,
and not in the American fashion as a
cross between an exciting sport and
a scramble for the spoils Of office.
Many of the German cities and the
imperial government as well, have en-
tered upon the policy of appropriating
Tor the public treasures portion of
land value increment, and it apparent
Iy is their purpose to extend this pol
Icy until it covers all or nearly all of
such increment socially created:
Most public improvements, not of a
revenue producing character, have
been paid for by assessing a share Of
the cost against AUDITING property and
from the surplus earning of the reven-
ue producing public services"
German cities are large borrowers,
but the money they borrow is always
put to work and is made to pay divi-
bends to the city in the form Of earn
lngs from public utilities-utilities
which in American cities pour profits
into the pockets of private owners.
Thus the city of Bremen has not hes
itated to impose, in addition to an
already large public debt, bond tax
to $132 for each inhabitant
to enlarge and improve it's harbor.
Bremen, like Hamburg, owns it's docks

source a revenue which in a few years
will pay off the huge debts incurred to
make that city a port of world COM

Bird Courts of Lustice-

Ravens, starlings and crows are be-
lieved to hold courts of justice to mete
out punishment to ~anders Some
times they assemble in great numbers,
as if they would give great dignity
to the occasion. The trial sometimes
apparently endures for many days.
Some birds sit at the conclaves with
lowered heads, some merely cock their
heads on the branches and look grave,
while others are most garrulous and
fill the air with their complaints. Nat
uralists studying these strange pro-
ceedings have seen an apparently Sc
lected number of birds fall upon one
or more of their number, at the close
of the trial" and put them to death,
after which they dispersed in orderly
fashion and went back quietly to
their nests.-Harper's Weekly.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the deceased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous line of the Eustacbian
Tube. When this tube is inlamed Won
have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrb, which rs
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Statistics gathered by the pains
taking Germans say that there were

apparently, the fewer persons attain

next with 1,704 and 573, Spain has
40 and France 213; no other coun-
try had more than 200; England had
only 90, and the three Scandinavian
states were at the bottom Of the list,
Denmark having only two. Evident
ly the Balkans, scene of almost con-
slant war for the last century, is the
most likely place in which to attain
old age.

The MSerhs, Rout.U

1t was on the banks of the Mar.
itza, near Adrianople, in 1864, that the
Turks first came into conflict with
the young Slavonic races-the Ser
VANS, the Bosnians, the Bulgarians.
Louis L, king of Hungary and Poland,
with the princes of Bosnia, Servia and
Wallachia, had decided to conquer
the sultan a task that the Greeks had
been unable to manage. The Turks
were only half as strong as the al
lies; but the commander took advan-
tage of their intoXication to make a
sudden night attack. The Slavs were
aroused by the beating of the Turkish
drums. The Ottomans were upon
them before they could stand to arms.

LAWN MUST HAVE SHRUBBERY
Selection Is a Wide One, But Some
Sort There Must Be to Produce
Desired Good Effect.

Well placed shubbery is to the
home lawn as leaves are to a tree.
The size and shape of the lawn will
determine the kind of, shrubbery to
be planted and where. The common
est kinds are: SNOWFALL, bush honey
suckIe, bridal lilacs. Rather than
plant shrubs gathered in the woods,
plant the best that can be had from
the local nursery. This applies to any
plant
Shrubs should be planted in either
spring or fall, preferably in spring,
when there is no growth. The soil
should be medium, rich, we'll drained,
relatively deep and well prepared be-
fore planting the perennials. They
should be planted just deep enough to
cover the roots, which must be in con-
tact with the soil particles. Tramp
the ground down solidly around the
plant. Do not plant when the soil is
sticky.
The amount of pruning on shrub
berry is small, for the best effect is
obtained when it is allowed to take it's
natural growth. All dead and dying
parts should be cut out. The larger
kinds of plants may be pruned to get
symmetry. And superfuous suckers
should be eliminated.
To maintain healthy shrub some
form of soil enrichers must be put
around the plant each fall and spring
