William C. Whitney is erecting at
his country home in Westbury, R. I., a
costly monument over the grave of his
favorite horse. The horse was burned
in the fire in Mr. Whitney’s stables ear-
ly last spring. The stone of the mon-
ument was bought in Europe while in
a rough state at Roslyn last week, and
from there taken to Mr. Whitney’s
place. It will be beautifully carved,
and when completed will have cost
$1,000.

Why He Applauded.
Bacon—You know that part of the
play where the man seizes the woman,
forces her into a closet, and turns the
key on her?
Egbert—Yes, I remember it.
Well, last night a fellow in the au-
dience applauded it so that they had
to put him out.
I don’t think there is anything to op-
plaud about that part of the play.
Oh, but it turned out that the fellow
applauding was the husband of the ac-
tress, and it was the first time he had
ever seen anybody shut her up.
We all have hours of joy and min-
utes of sadness.

SKELETON OF A MASTODON
The Professors of Olivet College Make An
Interesting Discovery.
The skeleton of a. mastodon, nearly
complete, has been discovered near Oli-
vet, Mich., by college professors.
Twelve years ago H. C. Bumpus, the
first professor of biology, made inter-
esting discoveries in, a low, swampy
place, and, according to arrangements
only a small beginning has been made
of exhuming a large mastodon ceme-
tery. Only five complete skeletons
have been found in the United States,
and it is expected that the sixth will

appeared. To witness his first step out-
side the door a thousand goggling, af-
fectionate eyes watched. “There!”
cried the general, in half-comic despair
—I cannot think altogether displeased
—“it’s all over; -ye are found out. Well,
well, they must have their own way.”
It was the “general” they waited to
see, not the president. They lined the
roadway from house to barge, record-
ing every movement in observant
brains. (A distinguished man can
never know which of his audience is
to be his biographer. It may -be one
of the “supers” on the stage rolling off
BONES OF A MASTODON FOUND NEAR OLIVET, MICH.
made by him, word was at once taken
to the college, when, a short time ago,
additional evidences of mastodon re-
mains appeared. Prof. G. A. Knapp
immediately formed a party consisting
of Profs. Stewart Montgomery and W.
E. C. Wright, and Fitz L. Reed, vice-
president of the college. The bones
were found in a small marsh that is
covered with water except in dry pe-
riods. They formed part of an old
beaver dam, and probably were brought
a short distance by the beavers. Three
feet of muck was over them, a depth
at which all mastodon remains in this
country have been discovered. Iron
rods were thrust down through the
muck, thereby locating the bones. The
first day’s search was very successful,
revealing leg hones, ribs and vertebrae.
The first discovery was a thigh meas-
uring thirty-one inches across. The
largest leg bone was thirty-eight inches
long and twenty-five inches in circum-
ference. The longest of the ribs, of
which the complete skeleton has twen-
ty, is forty-five inches long. The ver-
tebrae are the size of a human head.
The teeth are as large as a man’s
hand and have three rows of conical
projections, two in a row. The fact
completely identifies the mastodon, as
all other mastodons of the period had
flat teeth. Indeed, the animal received
its name from this peculiarity, masto-
don, meaning nipple-toothed. The mas-
todon had more than eight perfect
teeth at no one time, although during
its life it had twenty-four. The new
ones grew forward, forcing the others
in front of them, until, worn out and
useless, the old teeth disappeared. In
spite of the great length of time elaps-
ing since its death, the enamel on
some of the teeth is white and shining.
The bones are fairly well preserved,
but crumble somewhat after exposure
to the air. A special search was
made for the tusks the second day, but
it was unsuccessful. However, sockets
ten inches in circumference, reaching
two feet into the skull, evidence tusks
eleven feet long.
This mastodon, according to the
usual reckoning, has been dead 7,000
years. Its genus lived and died be-
fore the birth of man. It belonged to
the post tertiary period of cenozoic
time, a period during which the cli-
mate of Michigan was semi-tropical.
It was covered with reddish wool, and
long black hair, and lived on spruce
and fir trees. In life it was eleven feet
high and twenty-five feet long from
the tips of its tusks to the base of its
tail. Nor was it the only giant of its
time. The horse and elephant of today
are pigmies in comparison with their
ancient prototypes.
Enough leg hones were found exact-
ly alike in all except size to make it
certain that several mastodons must
have perished in the same place.
Methodical work will be begun as soon
as the swamp dries sufficiently. It is
proposed to plow a large area and
scrape off a foot from the surface. This
will make digging much easier. Profs.
Knapp and Montgomery think that
A JOKE ON WASHINGTON.
His Wish to Steal Away Unnoticed Was
Frustrated.
Washington was not churlish, but he
had that preference for being unob-
served that develops at times into a
longing in a man whose life is spent
in public, says Harper’s Magazine. He
quitted the Macomb house on the
morning of Aug. 30, 1790. The servants
were instructed to steal away at dawn,
to have the carriages and luggage over
the ferry at Paulus Hook by sunrise.
By candlelight, Mrs. Washington, the
children and the secretaries assembled
in the morning room. The president
entered, pleased with his strategem.
He was enjoying in prospect his con-
cealed departure. Immediately under
the window suddenly struck up on the
still morning air . the blaring,-vigorous
notes of an artillery hand. From the
highways and byways scurrying people
the carpets.) The thunder of artil-
lery could not drown the living shout
that rose from the throats of the people
as Washington was borne off with the
rise and fall of the oars gleaming in the
cheerful sun. His voice trembled as
he bade the assembled crowd farewell.
Though chary of appealing to it, the
love of the people never failed to move
him deeply.
Awful Results of Typhoons.
News from Yokohama that during a
typhoon which raged recently a rail-
road train was blown into the river
and fifty people drowned calls atten-
tion to the fearful loss of life which
often accompanies these tropical
storms. On Oct. S, 1881, for instance,
300,000 people lost their lives in a ty-
phoon at Haiforg, China. At Manila,
in the Philippines, on Oct. 20 and Nov.
8, 1882, 60,000 families were made
homeless in a similar storm.'

MRS. WM. ZIMMERMAN AND MRS. J. A. OLIPHANT.
John A. Oliphant of Perry, Ok., and
William Zimmerman of Kansas City
do not know the given names of their
wives. Mrs. Oliphant and Mrs. Zimmer-
man are twin sisters. They are the
daughters of the Hon. J. R. Greer, for-
merly of Topeka, Kan.
The two sisters were born in To-
peka, Kan., some thirty years ago, and
when horn Mr. and Mrs. Greer could
not tell them apart. They were named
Mary and Martha. They were at first
dressed unlike one another, and the
father cared for Martha and the mother
for Mary at night. Later a servant
girl, in dressing the two chil-
dren, got them mixed, and neither she
nor their parents could tell Mary from
Martha..
The neignbors were called to help
solve the intricate problem, but all
failed. The father went to the store
and purchased two sets of beads, one
green and one white, and in this way
only could he identify his twin babies.
These children grew up, and the one

Perry, Ok., well known in Kansas City
and Missouri. He was formerly city
attorney of Perry and is one of the
best-known men in Oklahoma. Mary
married William Zimmerman, a well-
known wholesale whisky man of Kan-
sas City. The sisters are yet very
much alike.
During their childhood days the
father, mother or other members of the
family could hardly tell one from the
other. In school a distinguishing mark
had to be placed on them, and then
Mary was known by her beads or dress
