A recent gift to the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnol ogy of the famous "Calaveras skull" reawakens interest in that remarkable relic of antique man. The skull was found in 1866 imbedded in gold-bearing gravel in Calaveras county, California, at a depth of 127 feet. Above it were four beds of lava that had flowed from a now extinct volcanic vent. The late Prof. J. D. Whitney (whose sister, Mits Maria Whitney, made the gift to the museum) was convinced of the genuine ness of the discovery. The owner of the skull is supposed to have lived in the Pliocene epoch, a period so remote that the most ancient dates of history seem quite recent in comparison. . The most powerful microscope ob jective yet made is a 1-10 inch mono bromide of naphthaline immersion lens made Zeiss.

Little things fre. quentlv have great power, as is seen in a few small doses of the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, however, has an entirely different effect from the needle in this ootice. The Bitters make nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and well againN They are also good for dyspepsia and constipation. The Canadian Northwest polioe, a number of whom are now guarding Klondike, number 710 altogether, and are distinctly a military body.

Mrs. Finkham has done much to make women strong. She has given advice to many that has shown them how to guard against disease and retain vigor ous health in old age. From every cor ner of the earth there is constantly com ing the most convinciug statements from women, showing the eiflcacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound in overcoming female ills. Here is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of 220 Borner St., Johnstown, Pa , which Is earnest and straight to the point : " Dhar Mbs. Pixrham. I feel It my duty to tell all suffering women that I think your remedies are wonderful. I had trouble with my head, dizzy spell and hot Sashes. Feet and hands were cold, was very nervous, could not sleep well, tad kidney trouble, pain in ovaries and congestion of the womb. Since taking your remedies I am better every way My head trouble is all gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am cured of womb trouble. I can eat and sleep well and am gaining in fle&h. I consider your medicine the best to be bad for female troubles." The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi ence in treating female ills is unparal lelled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter aa many as a hundred thousand ailing" women during a single year, DR. WHITE TALKS. Be Bounds a Note of Warning That Should lid Heeded by All. One of the points where science t 'aches us that what is might have beeri avoided, is in the matter of ir regular teeth. "A great peicentage 0! the irregular teeth we see," says Dr. Thomas H. White, at the northeast corner ol Morrison and Fourth streets, "ia caused by the lack of proper care of the infant teeth. When we come to considder the great number of teeth in malposition,- the subject of the oare of the first teeth assumes new import ance to us." In discussing this matter with a representative of the press, re cently, he said among other things: "Mothers cannot be too careful in their consideration of the condition and character of the first teeth of their children. The object of this is not to allow the decay of the first teeth to proceed so far that they become ulcer ated or aboesses form at their roots, in which case extraction is the only solu tion of the trouble. The first teeth should be retained ontil nature is ready to supplant them with other teeth. This can be accomplished by the tem porary filling of cavities so that the teeth may be depended upon in the mastication of food. The very exercise of the teeth, as with any other organ of the body, will aid in keeping them in a healthy condition. Every part of tbe body lias a function to perform, and should De maintained in healthy con dition to accomplish it if possible. Every tooth, therefore, that ia extract ed interferes to a oertain degree with J the preparatory process of digestion. Of course, it is not to the interest of the dentist to have teeth taken care of toowelL" THE RUSH OF THE OREGON. they held her south to Magellan's mouth Then east they steered her, forth Through the farther gate of the crafty strait, And then they held her north. Six thousand miles to the Indian Isles! And the Oregon rushed home, Her wake a swirl of Jude and pearl. Her bow a bend of foam. And when at Rio the cable sang "There Is war, grim war with Spain!" The swart crews grinned, and stroked theli guns,- , And thought on the mangled Maine. In the glimmered gloom of the engine room mere was joy to each grimy soul. And fainting men sprang up again And heaped the biasing coal. Good need was there to go with care; But every sailor prayed Or gun for gun or b!x to one To meet them, unafraid. Her goal at last! With joyous blast She hailed the welcoming roar Of hungry sea-wolves curved along The strong-hilled Cuban shore. Long nights went by. Her beamed ey Unwavering searched the bay Where, trapped and penned for a certain ena, The Spanish squadron lay. Out of the harbor a cnrl of smoke And a watchful gun rang clear. Out of the channel the squadron broke Like a bevy of frightened deer. Then there was shouting for "steam, more steam!" And fires glowed white and red, And guns were manned and ranges planned, And the great ships leaped ahead. Then there was roaring of chorusing guns, Shatter of shell and spray, And who but the rushing Oregon Was fiercest in chase and tray? For her mighty wake was a seething snake; Her bow was a billow of foam; Like the mailed fists of an angry wight .Her shot drove crashing borne. . Pride of the Spanish navy, ho! Flee like a bounded beast! For the Bhlp of the Northwest strikes a blow For the ship of tbe far Northeast! In quivering Joy she surged ahead Aflame with flashing bars, Till down sunk the Spaniard's gold and red And up ran the clustered stars. . Desperate dash and daring rash Are grand In peace and war, But tbe calm, deep hate that can plan and wait Is deadlier by far. Glory to share? Aye, and to spare', But the chiefest Is hers by right Of a rush of 14,000 miles For the chance of a bitter fight. SITS UP IN HIS GRAVE. Wlllard Aldrlch Has Hla Coffin Made In an William Aldrlch, an eccentric bach elor who died at Mlshayvaka, Ind., re cently, ordefed his own coffin built pre vious to his death, and the casket was constructed in the shape of an "L'," with the perpendicular line at a slight angle. Aldrich resided In Berrien County, Michigan, where he was one of the wealthy land owners and quite prominent as a Spiritualist. Being stricken with consumption, he went to his mother's home to die. When the queer casket was built ho had it taJcen to his home to test It, gave the undertaker instructions as to glass front, hinges and Inscriptions. At the funeral the cotlln could pot be placed in the funeral car, hence several crews of pallbearers were secured to relieve each other. The reclining coffin was placed In a large vault, covered with a monster slab. Ills mother was in structed to havt a similar casket built, that "he might converse with her and rest comfortably until both enter a new world," as he expressed It Burled with him are many valuables, books, a revolver and a lamp.
