RELIC OF DISTANT PAST.

There is now in the natural his
tory museum at Paris a fine speci-
men of mammoth with the flesh
parts preserved to a certain extent.
The specimen was offered to the mu-
scum by the count of Stenbock-Fer-
NOR, who found it in one of the
islands of the Siberian region. After
extracting it at his own expense he
brought it to Europe by sled, boat
and railroad. This is probably the
only specimen of the kind which
central Europe possesses, for the
Russian government has issued q
ukase prohibiting any export of the
mammoth, either entire or in part.
Such animals preserved in the ice
have been known since 1906, but the
only specimen preserved under these
conditions up to the present and
brought to Europe is to be found
at the museum of the Academy Of
Sciences at St. Petersburg.

LIVED FOR MONTH IN SEWER
Remarkable Experience Of ItaiiaA
Who Has a Possible Chance
Of Recovery.

In sewer for month, a painter Of

from his unwholesome position.
Some workmen who were repairing
the city sewers-the largest in Italy,
extending over 200 miles-were
startled by the apparition of gaunt,
tattered man covered with mud, who
in a much exhausted state invoked
their aid. The man was rescued
with difficulty and conveyed to hos
pital, where food and restoratives
were given him. He said he was q
painter, aged eighteen. A month
ago, while sleeping in the open air,
he was assaulted by three hooligans,
who robbed him and then threw him
into the sewer. By sheer force OF
will he had succeeded in living q
month underground, continually
wandering along the sewers, daily
trying to find an exit, cropping in
the darkness, fighting rats, eating
refuse and drinking filthy water. The
painters exhaustion is 80 great that
he requires three months hospital
treatment before his recovery is GER

SEARCHING FOR ORE
Energetic Search for Ore in Lake
Superior Country

Under the direction of Captain
Thomas Walters, of Ishpeming,
Mich, general manager of the
mining department, the Jones q
Laughlin Steel Co.. of Pittsburgh,
SAYS the Iron Trade Review, is
making an energetic search for ore
in the Lake Superior iron country.
For many years one of the princ1-
pal operators in the region, and
with reproduction record of many
million tons, it is actively engaged
in the task of strengthening its
reserves. The company's latest
expansion has been in the acquisi-
ton of the Thomas Feigh lands
adjoining the Tod -Stambaugh Cos
Pennington mine in the new Guy
una district. Drilling has shown
the tract to contain several million
tons of ore.
While a pioneer on the Mar
quette range, where the Lake
Angeline property at Ishpeming
was opened in 1864, the Jones q
Laughlin company is chiefly inter
ested on the Mesabi. It's shipping

TATTooINo OUT OF FAVOR.

The practice of tattooing is disap-
pearing from the United States navy.
The practice originated with the un-
civilized people of the South Sea
islands. Twenty years ago blue
jackets believed that they were not
full-fedged men of the sea until they
had red and blue designs linked into
their skin. Their cruises to far east
ern ports were partly responsible for
this. In the Orient great number
of the male folk are tattoed on some
portion of their body, and there are
thousands of experts who are willing
to lend their art for a small price.
The spread eagle is perhaps the most
popular design among the blue jack
cts. Superstition enters largely into
the selection of design. For example,
q tombstone is supposed to protect a
mans loved ones at home.

HAD A RIGHT TO ENJOY EGG
Dogs ingenuity In Stealing II Excited
Admiration In Woman Who
Watched the Theft.

An interesting dog story is told by
a lady correspondent from Hemp
stead, London. She writes: I was
waiting my turn to be served in a
provision shop the other day, when
my attention was drawn to a some
what bedraggled and hungry-looking
rough-haired terrier, which was gaz-
ing at an attractive-looking box Of
eggs. He had the determined look
of one about to carry out some we'll
planned act of daring. Very care
fully indeed did he examine all the
eggs, whilst / remained motionless.
Then, with step backward and a
steady look at the shopman, making
quite sure he was much too busy
to be interested in the affairs of a
harmless little doggie, he boldly
chose one of the largest eggs, and
without breaking it, or even moving
any of the others, rolled it into his
mouth. By this time my interest
was fully aroused and I gave chase.
l was soon rewarded by seeing him
creep through some railings to a
patch of grass, and then, with look
of complete satisfaction, roll out the
egg, very neatly break off the top and
lick out the contents with the keen
pleasure of the true epicurean!

WHY CITY MEN WIN ON FARM
Apply Business Methods to Agrieui.
ture, and Thus Attain Success,
Says Writer.

In many notable instances city
men are succeeding as farmers. If
they do not know all about raising
grain and handling live stock, they
are able, as a rule, to apply business
methods to their understandings.
Successful farm management must
include a knowledge of buying and
selling. In this particular the city
man is apt to be ahead of his rural
neighbor. 1t is essential to know
what consumers require, what the
usual retail prices are on farm COM
modities, and the facilities available
FOR transporting and selling. The
man Of city experience understands
these things and he goes in for line
Of produce like onions, beans, pota-
toes, ducks, chickens and carnations
and asters, or which he gets big
profits.
1t would not be like city man to
raise wheat at IS cents bushel and
20 bushels to the acre, when he can
get 80 cents bushel for onions and
$50 bushels to the acre. This illus
trates the whole idea, and no truth
is more striking than the fact that
city men are needed in agriculture.

EXPERTS IN FORMING PUNs
EngIishmen Of Letters Noted for Their
Skill In This Peculiar Form
Of Repartee.

The pun as a form of wit holds
no very high position in the estima-
ton of most writer's and humorists.
Nevertheless, many prominent fig
ures in the history of English liter
ature have not refrained, on occa-
sions, from turning punster. The
New York Tribune records some in
stances.
Alexander Pope was one of the
first Englishmen to decry the pun.
It was, he said, species of wit so
trifingly easy that he would engage
to make pun on any subject pro-
posed offhand.
"Well, then, Mr.. Pope" said a
woman of the company, "make one
on keelhauling."
Quick as a flash, he replied, ''That,
madam, is indeed putting man un-
der hardship.
Theodore Hook once Dragged that
he could make pun on any subject.
'Well, then," said a friend, make
one on the king"
'The king is no subject" replied
the wit.
To a similar boast of Douglas Jer-
rold, a fellow clubman replied, ''Can
you make a pun on the signs of the
zodiac?"
'sBy Gemini, I can, sir!" was the
double-barreled retort.
DR.. John Watson, better known as
Ian Maclaren, was another wag who
boasted of his facility in punning.
At a dinner in London, where many
literary men were present, he assert
ed that he could make as good pun
as anyone in the room. The chal-
lenge was accepted. Thereupon DIR.
Watson assumed a serious mien, and
appeared lost in thought.
"Come, now, Watsonw exclaimed

Turn Aside
The Stream!

THE trade current that has
1 been setting steadily In the
direction of the big mail or
der houses can now be diverted
toward the small merchant. The
parcel post allows each individ-
ual storekeeper to develop
mail order business within bis
own district at a lower postal
rate than any one outside Of 1t
can ship goods to customers
within it. By adopting the same
advertising methods which the
mail order houses have used for
their own benefit and profit In
the past and organizing an eff
cient shipping department the
small merchant is now enabled
to build up a profitable trade in
a greatly widened field.
The parcel post is educating
buyers to know that the store
nearer home can serve them
just as reasonably and far more
quickly and satisfactorily than
the mail order house.

CHEATED DEATH 81 YEARS.

Charles F. Page, sixty-nine, a ma

dead, 81 years after his coffin was
bought. Page was soldier in the
Civil war and was encamped with his
regiment, the One hundred and sew
enteenth New York volunteers, at
Fort Alexander in the fall of 1862,
when he was taken seriously i'll.
When Pages death seemed immi-
nent a requisition was made for his
coffin. 1t was brought to camp and
deposited near the tent in which the
sick soldier lay. Then Page began
to get better, and when he learned
about the coffin he declared that he
would not die. He did not until to-

More and more we are learning

truth home with new force. "Lets

begged the other evening.

morning; you couldn't see in the
