The next meeting of the members of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Mont- gomery county, at Sandy Sprirg, on the 7th of January, promises to be an irterest- ing affair, and much feeling has already been exhibited in the matter.

Both parties to the contest appear to be in earnest, and are using all means in their power to secure a full attendance, in which they will doubt- less succeed. The members of the Barnesville Baptist Church during the holidays made their pastor, Rev. S. R. White, a handsome do- nation, consisting of turkeys, chickens, hams, canned and dried fruits, barrels of apples and a lot of flour and groceri2s, Mr. Howard G.

The music was bright and the dialogue interesting. Mr. Newman G. Little made an ideal Santa Claus, and Mr. Preston Ray and Miss Julia Langille, in the famity scene, were éxcel- lent. The prettiest scene was a toy work- shop, with little brownies busily engaged in making toys for Santa Claus. At the close of the cantata books antl candy were distributed to the children.

From the Chicago Dally ‘Dribum Something that attracts many visitors to Earlham College, the Quaker institution lo- cated at Richmond, Ind., is the mastodon skeleton recently completed. It was the work of months to put it In place, but the result is the college has one of the very finest specimens of the kind in the world. It stands in the mlseum beside the skeleton of “Tinpo Sahib,” Van Amburgh’s big ele- phant, which was secured at the time of the death of that animal. For Sfteen years a part of the skeleton has been in the posses- sion of the college. The bones composing this part were dug out not fag. from New Paris, Ohio, and incited & tusk, whic! about eleven feet long, afew vert quite a collection of ribs, a leg and various smaller scraps. Later on some fragments were obtained on the Lloyd farm, each of this city, and also @ lower jaw with all the teeth. This latter was from Nettle Creek, near Dalton, ‘in Wayne county. Several years later the best find in eastern Indiana was made in south- ern Randolph county, where the head (badly decayed), one tusk, a perfect lower jaw, of extraordinary proportions, containing its full complement of teeth, about half the spinal cclumn, nearly all the ribs, the thigh bones, and nearly all the bones of the feet, were uncovered. The Randolph county find was purchased, and a happy fact about it was it and the New Paris remnant wer exactly on the same s parts of one were nearly su’ parts of the other. Parts mi: re easily and naturally supplied by mean plaster and paper pulp cas of that an expert only could distinguish the real bone from the rest. The feet bones—about a bushel and a half of them—were sent to Lansing, Mich., to have the missing members supplied. The dozen or more pieces into which the great cranium had crumbled were placed in the hands of Prof. Ward of Rochester, N. and were so firmly put together that th massive lower jaw, which was sound and weighed nearly 100 pounds, could be hung to it. It cost over $100 to get the head in good shape. The skull weighs 300 pounds or more. A whole fossil monster of this kind is rare. One has recently been mounted fcr the State University at Columbus, Ohio, and the finest one In the world is in the Warner Museum at Boston, Mass. The Earlham mastodon ex- cels this in some fea’ s, however, being three inches taller and having a much broad- er skull. The greatest height of the Earl- ham mastodon {s 11 feet %} inches, total length 19 feet 3 inches, and the weight about 700 pounds. By careful estimate the weight when living must have been over 20,000 pounds. —__+e-— Matching to Win. From the Philadelphia Telegraph. ‘Two men matched coins for the fare on a street car, and the man who won said: “I have paid very few fares this summer, be- cause I have solved the system of match- Ing. I can’t explain why my system is cor- rect, but many experiments have satisfied me that it ts. I always ask the other man to match me, and sixty-five times out of a hundred I win. Apparently the odds are even. In reality they are against the man who matches and in favor of the man who is matched. This doesn't hold when the coins are spun on a table. It is good only when each man holds his coin in his hand. Calling colns 1s also an easy game to win. Three men out of five will call heads. I always hold the coin tail up, and in the long run I am a winner.” AUCTION SALES Of REAL ESTATE, &c. = Todny. ‘Thos. Dowling, Auct., 612 E st. n.w.—D st. s.w., dwelling No, 612, by otder of B. F..
