Lad Bitten by ftotr.
Griffin Wililams. son of Mr. Claud
Williams of Columbia, who is staying
with his grandparents. Mr. and Mrs.
T. G. Williams, was bitten by a dog
on Wednesday. The family were bad
ly frightened at first, as they heard
the dog was mad: but this turned out
to be a mistake. The lad, who is only
seven years old. was playing with another
lad. He struck at Mr. Richard
Swittenberg's setter, when it snapped
at him and bit him through his sleeve
on the arm, scarcely breaking the
skin. A physician, out of the abundance
of caution, cauterized the
wound, and no evil consequences are
apprehended. The dog shows no signs
of being mad.

came marching down to the grave, followed
by the wagon containing the
casket. There were the preacher and
a few attendants. Although there, are
nearly a thousand old Union soldiers

BURIAL 5912 YEARS AGO.
Skeleton of Woman Who Lived Ontnries
Ago is Found.
The mummy known as Ra-Nefer,
which is in the museum of the Royal
college of Surgeons in London, has
been described as the oldest mummy
known, says the New York Sun. The
date assigned to it by Prof. Eliot |
Smith was the age of Senefru the beginning
of Egypt's fourth dynasty,
about 3,700 years B. C.
Some human remains, however, have
now been dis overed at Sakkara,;
about fifteen miles from Cairo, belonging
to the period of the end of the
second and the beginning of the third j
dynasties, about 4000 years B. C.
Among them is the skeleton of a
woman about thirjy-five years of age,
which was found completely invested
in a large series of bandages, and next
to the body was a corroded woven
cloth.
The corrosion, says Prof. Smith
was presumptive evidence that some
material, probably crude natron, was
applied to the surface of the body,
with a view to its preservation, and
h? has thus been able to trace to a
higher antiquity than had previously
been done, the use of this method
for preserving the body of the dead.
The annual freshman-sophomore
class "rush" at Yale was ouiittfd on
Washington's birthday this year for
the first time in years. The faculty]
has been making more and more rig-!
orous rules regarding the struggle
with the result that th" students declare
that there is no longer any "red
blood" in it, and have abandoned it
as poor fun.
NO HURRICANES FOR OUR COAST.
Dutch Weather Prophet is Fr??ttjr Confident
in Hia Prediction.?Sooth
Atlantic will be Exempt.
Charleston Post.
There will be no West Indian hurricane
to strike the South Atlantic
cuasc tins summer, auu me peupio
of Charleston, the seashore resorts
and islands generally may breath a
sigh of peace and contentment, if the
prediction of the "Dutch Weather Prophet,"
W. P. Houseal, is accepted. Mr.
Houseal gives his positive statement
to this effect, and he has been forecasting
the weather for many years.
"You may quote the prediction of
the "Dutch Weather Prophet' that
there, will be no West Indian hurricane
in the usual period of occurrence,
to disturb the SouthxAtlantic coast,
and of course this means that Charleston
will be exempt, as last year,
from such storms. Periodically, however,
severe thunderstorms may be
expected throughout the northern
hemisphere in the period from the vernal
to the fall equinox," writes Mr.
Houseal to a member of The Evening
Post staff.
Forecaster Scott is not prepared to
follow Mr. Houseal in his prediction
and the government office will not say
that the Dutch weather prophet's forecast
will not be realized. The government
makes no long forecasts of the
j kind, but Mr. Houseal does, basing nis
calculations on the movement of the
planetary bodies, phases of the moon,
etc., which he has figured to a mathematical
nicety and which he is content
to stand upon, as affording a safe
I and a accurate method of forecasting
the weather. The fact that the government
weather bureau does not endorse
his way of figuring on the
weather does not disturb Mr. Houseal
in his predictions of storms, cold and
| hot weather and other meteoroligical
| conditions of whicht, he has made a
j study an# about which he periodically
I gives out a statment to newspapers,
! respecting these phenomena.
Good Silo for $6?>.
Atlanta, Ga., March * .?How, the
, average farmer, using ordinary farm
tools at an expense of only $65.00
can contsruct a silo with a capacity
of 55 tons?enough silage to feed 20
cows 40 pounds per day -for four
months?is told in a booklet just gotten
out by the live stock department
of the Southern Railway, a copy of
which will be mailed free to any far
mer addressing request for -same to
Mr. F. L. Word, Live Stock Agent,
Southern Railway Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
"Where there is live stock on the
i farm there should be a silo" is th?
f
title of this booklet which tells of
the advantage to the farmer of having
a silo and the great saving which
it enables him to make in the cost of
winter feeding for his live stock. '
The figures given are taken from the
_A? 1 ?- ^ ? ^PawwaOOAA
? practical experience ui a icuucoocc
farmer who built a silo pn the lines
indicated twenty years ago, who finds
it as good as new today, and feels
that it has paid for itself many times
over every year.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
recently declared that the Southeas:
tern States constitute the ideal secI
tioii of the United States for live
i live stock raising and must be look!
ed to in future years for the nation's
I food supply. To stimulate interest in
I the live stock industry and to aid fari
mers to successfully follow this line,
l the Southern Railway has established
i its live stock department which is
giving undivided attention to this
work.
