For several years the story has been extensively circulated that the natives of Alaska are acquainted with living mammoths. The probable origin of the story was pointed out at a recent meeting of the Biological Society of "Washington by Mr. C. H. Townsend. in loco wnen ne was m AiaBKa, some /of the natives questioned him concern( ing the nature of the giant animal / whose bones are not infrequently I found there, and ho drew restorations / of the mammoth in order to show them j how it looked when living. They were / greatly interested in the pictures, and J made copies of them. These copies, | he thinks, have been widely scattered through Alaska, and, being found by white men in the hands of the natives, have given rise to the belief that the prehistoric beasts still inhabit that country. Good Looks. There are more wrinkles in the face of a baby mankey than tliere are in that of an old baboon. And speaking of wrinkles, more of them can be wrought out in* a fair young face by neuralgia than will be found in that ft- of an aged person. Constant pain will 9 shrivel. and neuralgia neglected will plow its farrows deei>. It not only wrinkles, but r takes the bloom away and sives the ski:i a dnll and yellow look. St. Jacobs Oil is a prompt and sure cure for neuralgia, and it should be used, as whileit soothes and cures, it smooths out the tracks of pain and leaves the skin healthy and fair apain; besides it rids the sutterer of much torment and restores a happier disposition. Good looks come only with sood health, and health is found in the absence of pain. Spurious silver dollars are being extensively circulated in Maine and New Hampshire. , Ponder Over It.

A New Fad Organized by Metropolitan Dames?Proper Cultivation of tlie Voire ?An Imposing Brunette"* Fetching Froek?Opera Singer's Neat Costume. (Special New York L"tter.) New York women are never satisfied unless organizing some new fail. Now it is a society to cultivate the proper use of the voice in conversation. The promotors claim that the voice betrays the character of the person to a far | greater extent than most of us realize. Mauv people express but one condition?mental or physical?when speaking. Sometimes it is weariness, nervousness, placidity, self-confidence, tim\ility, the spirit of martyrdom or candor. The idea appeals evidently to many, as the club is already one of the largest in town. Many well-known society j women have entered their names on the roll of membership. At a 4 o'clock tea the other day I i heard Mrs. H. S. Kissain discussing j this theme with Miss Bertha Marie i Parce. Mrs. Kissam is a magnificent looking woman, and, when I saw her, wore a gown of dove-gray canvas, made 1?~ ianlrAf r\{ Q 1^1 n 7.PT* Tin t, | Wllil U DIJ| jt?uavv v* M j--.. tern. Her coat was lined with beflowered pink silk which made a pretty i contrast. Miss Parce is a lecturer on the use of the voice. Her head is exquisitely poised; and her graceful figure was well outlined in a tailori made suit of blue check in two tones. I The skirt was perfectly plain, and set J off by the dapper three-button cut-a| way, with a stylish seeded silk waistj coat peeping coquettishly out. | ~~ "3T" Mv1'!' | | mm W Awk siiiJwh /i i i i 'J i \,:!! 111 . i M ' i11,1! 11 M/iiih\'' Hi1;: i' {\ 11 li Vi 1!1 f Mll||w Mmw'!''1v.w mmwm Sftf A FETCHING FROCK. v* An unusually fetching frock I saw at | the Opera?when the whole house rose 1 en-masse to bid au-revoir to Mine, j Calve at her last appearance at the Metropolitan. It was worn by an imposing brunette, with a coat that looked as if the wearer were moulded into it. ! The coat design was quite new?a tight [ fitting Eton, with double revers to ; show a lace chemisette, and held in j place at the waist in front by a belt I attached. The material was a handsome black cloth, with a hair line of Willtc. Speaking of opera, it seems a pity j that our New York managers do not j issue some such regulation as the one j recently put in force at the Imperial Opera House, Vienna. There the rule j says that not more than three recalls shall be allowed at the end of an act ! except on first nights. At her farewell, Calve, after bowing thanks nine times, was compelled to cross and rei cross in front of the curtain sixteen i times. The fatigue of this, after the i labor of singing the principal role in i Faust, must be intense. She may well ask to be saved from her friends. liX yt\ 1.j. %&X^\ /i I ^ ^ IT ^ j^/ 'J ^Awfels^Sfi mw^wiA ' I ftpSfir, fLi* "jV W" 'I !

After lying in a man's coffin for more than thirty years, a will has been exhumed at Leavenworth, Kan., the terms of which are likely to increase troublesome litigation among the heirs of the man who had the document buried with him. jftcoo ivissingen was tne man. rue will was found by accident, because when Kissiugen died, although a will was believed to have been made, nobody could find it. So the heirs went to law and have been at it for three decades. A few days ago a dispute arose which could be cleared up by the family Bible. The grave was opened and the book taken out. It was in a good state of preservation, and, when opened, to the surprise of everybody, disclosed a will. By the terms of the document found in the grave the property of Kissingen is divided equally between five children, one of them residing in Germany, and born of Kissingen's lirst wife. This is where the new trouble began. None of the four American heirs ever heard of the father's first marriage.?San Francisco Chronicle. L'xiiiu 15ea?ls for Money. Perhaps one of the most singular uses to which glass has been put is one which has lasted almost without interruption from the first making to the present day. The Phoenicians, who were the great commercial people of that age scoured the known, and much of the unknown world, in their trading vessels. The African coast was regu- j larly visited, und for the use of the ignorant natives glass beads were made. Some of the same beads then used, and known to us as "aggry" beads, have been found among the Ashantees and ather natives of the Gold Coast of Africa. Similar beads for the same use ire now made in Venice, and it is said that there are exported from that city every year thousands of pounds' worth i>f them of various sorts.?Pittsburg Dispatch. An Octogenarian Jumper. The Dublin correspondent of the Lancet says that of an athletic contest held recently at Fremont, County Cork, a man named James Loder, eighty-two years old, covered thirtythree feet in three standing jumps. Several young men failed to come within three feet of this distance. Old Loder weighs only 112 pounds and is remarkably vigorous. FARMINC IN THE SOUTH. Importance of Diversified Crops-Capacity of Southern Soil to I'rotluce Cereals. Our Southern farmers are gradually waking up to the importance not only of diversifying their yearly crops, but also of reducing the acreage of 'heir farming lands. Governor McLaurin, of Mississippi, is authority for the statement that the average farm in that state has decreased from 370 acr>is in 1860 to 193 in 1870, 156 in 1880 and 122 in 1890. On the strength of this reduction Governor McLaurin venr tares to hope that a new era of prosperity is dawning upon this section. With respect to diversified crops, the Chattanooga Tradesman, in a rtcent article on the subject, states tha': the t;me is rapidly coming when the Southern farmer will not depend for his income solely upon cotton nnd a few other staples. Indeed, it is claimed that no other section of the country is better adapted by reason of its soil and climatic conditions to the cultivation of a variety of products than the South. This is evident from the following data furnished by the United States Department of Agriculture: In 1896 Virginia produced 38,067,000 bushels of corn: North Carolina. 29.829.000: Georgia, 32,504,000; Alabama, 32,445, 030; Mississippi, 27,973,000; Texas, 32,228,000; Arkansas, 29,723,000; Tennessee, 71,893,000; West Virginia, 21,098,000; Kentucky, 80,932,000. During the same year Ohio produced only 123,091,000 bushels; Michigan, 40,041,000; Indiana, 133,408,000. and the famous corn-producing State of Illinois only 284,572,000. The capacity of our Southern soil to produce wheat is shown by the following figures for 1890: Virginia, 5,724,000 bushels; North Carolina, 4,621,000; Georgia, 1,699,000; Texa3, 4,529,000; Arkansas, 1,260,000; Tennessee, 5,628,000; West Virginia, 4,056,000, and Kentucky, 6,976,000. During the 3?.me year Ohio produced only 21,800,000 bushels; Michigan. 15,719,000; Indiana, 20,647,000, and Illinois. 28,668,000. What is true of wheat and corn is also true of other cereals. Our Southern farmers will never fully realize the possibilities of farming in the South until they begin to diversify their crops and to depend upon more than one staple product.?Atlanta Constitution. The Scientific Burglar. One of the most accomplished products of our modern civilization is the scientific "burglar. With the aid of his improved implements of villainy there is absolutely no barrier which can withstand his professional cunning. According to one of Chicago's industrial publications tbe scientific burglar finds little difficulty in breaking into the most ponderous iron safe and possiessing himself of its contents. Making use of the electric current which jup plies the bank or counting room with light he obtains sufficient power i'rom this source to cut Lis way through the massive iron obstruction at the rate of two inches a minuto. In the course of a very short time the work is finished and the burglar finds himself in absolute possession of the vault's interior secrets. Professor Monroe, of Chicago, who has made a number of experiments for the purpose of ascertaining the kind of steel or iron most impervious to electricity has come to the corclnsion that no material exists which is absolutely burglar proof. With the aid of the same electric current, however, which enables bank robbers to get into private vaults it is the aim of safe manufac lUI CID tu piUVlUC OU1UC uvi 1VV KTJ a signal will be given as soon as the burglar begins his work. The idea is to conceal an alarm box of some kind within the lining of the safe and to place it in such a position that it will instantly respond to the least interference. This seems to be the only way of baffling the scientific burglar.?Atlanta Constitution. The QuarrelHome ltobin. The robin, that "pious" bird, is very quarrelsome, and it exasperates one to watch him wasting the precious hours of food in hunting another hungry robin up and down, and roxind and | round, till the sparrows Lave cleared the board. The blackbirds, too, are very annoying in tbe way tliat they snatch up a lump of bread and fly olf with it, only to be chased about for the rest of the morning by other blackbirds, while a sparrow makes a square meal oft'the morsel fallen meanwhile under a shrub. But relentless as they are in pursuit, the curious fact is Ihat they seldom tight. If the pursued turns, the pursuer stops, perks up his - tail, and being promptly charged oy the other, becomes in his turn the pursued. But woe to both when the missel thrush comes. He is pi'.iless in pursuit, and I have seen them pass my window time after time in the course of a morning, the storm- cock hard on the "heels" of the blackbird. And when they overtake them what happens? For myself, as I have often said before, I believe the missel thrush is a cannibal. At any rate, I attribute some of the dead blackbirds and thrushes that one finds about the grounds to his cruel beak. He watches for birds for hours at a time, like a bird of prey, and attacks them like one. I have often stopped a chase which I knew could only end one way.?Contemporary Review. How n Great General Slept. A good story is told of the Duke of Wellington. The French, with a fresh force double that of the Duke, were closing in upon his jaded troops one stormy night in Spain. Wellington completed his preparations, and then turning to a scout, asked: "How long will it be before they can reach usV" "Half an hour," was the reply. "Then T can go to sleep," he said; and, wrapping his cloak about him. he dropped where he stood in the muddy trench, and in an instant was asleep. He awoke when the bugles of the e;;emy sounded in his ears.?Weekly Telegraph. College Newspapers.

Physiological Effects of Music. Two French scientists (MM. Binet and J. Courtier) recently described in 1;he Revue Scientifique a series of experiments made by themselves and othere on human beings and animals of the effects of music on the heart and respiration. In the translation of the London Lancet: "M. Patrizi, an Italian physiologist, had a patient with a wound in the skull which laid bare the brain. He was thus enabled to observe the actual effect of music on the cerebral circulation. Musio occasioned an increase in the size of the brain itself. The effect on the cerebral circulation was variable, the vessels being (sometimes constricted and sometimes dilated. At other times no effect wss produced. MM. .binet and Conrtier experimented on a musician. Isolated notes, chords in unison, and discords were first tried. Both major chords stmck in a lively manner and discords qnickened the respiration, the latter more especially. Minor chords tended to retard respiration. When melodies were tried it was fonnd that all, whether grave or gay, produced quickened respiration and increased action of the heart. The lively tunes pro duced the greatest acceleration. The subject also sometimes unconsciously endeavored to synchronize his respirations with those of the singer. In rallentando and diminuendo passages the respiration was retarded. Where the sound was wholly uncomplicated by emotional ideas, as in single notes 01 chords, the heart's action was accelerated, but not in so marked a degree as when a melody either grave or gay was played. During operatio pieces or those well known to the Biihiewt the acceleration attained its maximum." The Food Man Seeds. "As in the daily wear and tear ol life a great deal of the substance of a man's body is uBed up, it is absolutely necessary that the repair to the body be carefully and systematically looked after," writes Mrs. S. T. Eorer in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Then, too, man must create heat and force, according to the climate in which ht lives and tho occupation he follows. A wise combination of food is therefore necessary to keep the body in working order. In cold weather we need a larger amount of carbonaceous foods?fats, sugars, and starches? 4V\nn trr a ^/\ i n DfimmA* T n ill a k tun 11 VYO UU in OULUUiCi.

Persons bitten die almost instanly, and the Government has a standing offer of $5000 for any one who will discover a remedy. Some few years ago a man named Underwood actually discovered an efficacious antidote. To prove it* value he allowed himself to J bo bitten repeatedly by snakes in i fall possession of the power to kill. | He oflered his discovery to the Government for S10.000, but this amount they thought exorbitant. One day he gave an exhibition before some Government officials, but being much under the influence of liquor, he did not re, collect what he had done with his antidote, and he died shortly after the siiakebite, his secret perishing with him.
