k, !?o Living .Mammoths.
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.

THE DOMAIN OF STYLE.
COWNS WORN BY SOME 0^ NEW
YORK'S WELL-KNOWN WOMEN.
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,

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. |

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.

Will From a Grave.
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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

about two parts of repair food, such
as meat, eggs, milk, cheese, or in the
vegetable kingdom, the old peas,
beans, and lentils, to three parts of

bread, potatoes, rice, butter, cream,
aod fats of all kinds. Then we must

Fatal For?elfulness.
There is no known aatidote for the
bite of the tiger snake of Australia.
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.

THE "GROWN-UP" DAUGHTER'S DUTY TO HER
MOTHER.
You can only hare one mother; therefore, when her step is growing slow
and her mind gloomy with forebodings, and you can see that her whole
nervous system is upset, it is your filial
duty and privilege to attend to her in
time! Mother is approaching the most
period of her life. '

is dreading, and no wonder, for it is full J

V \) /-^ y Shall I advise you ? First, send to :,:M
/ ><, ' \, / /PQHV / the nearest drug store and get a bottle

pound, and see that mother takes it gt'
regularly, then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., giving all the symptoms
aud you will receive a prompt reply telling mother what to do for herself.
In the meantime the Vegetable Compound will make life much easier
for her. It tones up the nervous system, invigorates ____________
the body, and the "blues" vanish before it as darkness
flees from the sunlight. You can get it at any
reliable druggist's.
Mrs. LouisSTBONG1HarrisHill,ErieCo.,N.Y.,says: "I
have been troubled with falling of the womb for years, jjaLgLHH
was advised to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I took thirteen bottles and received great ^HjgtJ
benefit When the time for change of life came I suffered
a great deal with faintness and palpitation of " '
the heart. I got one bottle of the Vegetable Com
pound and one of Blood Purifier and was relieved again. I was thereby
enabled to pass through that serious period very comfortably."
