The vertebra, or joint, is 4i inches long, 4i inches thick and G V inches across, from : one side of the curvature to thej other. It had a spur or stump of a rib on each side about an inch long, and the rib was more than an inch in diameter. j The bone was fovjnd in Quanky creek on Mr. W. T.

THE FRENCH EXPOSITION A very interesting forecast oT the Paris exposition to be held in 1900 is contained in the con sular reports for the present month, i Although the exposition is still some distance off, a consid erable amount of work has al- I ! - ready been accomplished. The grounds occupy both sides of the Seine river from what is known as the Place de la Con- 1 corde to a point beyond the Pont de Jena, including several hun dred acres, f In order to insure the Success pl this great enter prise, which will doubtless eclipse in magnitude any former European exposition, it has a guaranty fund of $20,000,000. Of this amount $12,000,000 rep resents; 3,000,000 bonds of $4 each, sold to the people, while the remaining $8,000,000 repre sents a joint appropriation from the French government and the city of Paris. As most of the bonds have already been sold to the French people,1 the authorities of the exposition are in nowise ham pered by a lack of funds. . Each bond is good for twenty admis sions to the exposition, with lot tery privileges included. In addition to these considerations, however, the holder of a bond is entitled to reduced railway and steamboat fares and also to special discounts on the price of admission to entertainments on the, exposition' grounds. Such skillful financiering on the part of the managers of this great industrial enterprise not only insures a liberal patronage, but in I all likelihood an eventual profit for distribution among the stockholders. , While the Chicago buildings will not be eclipsed in size, it is claimed that the grounds of the Paris exposition will present the most gorgeous spectacle ever witnessed on tho globe. The palace of the Trocadero, one of the features of the great expo sition of 1878, is to be . restored and utilized again, while the famous Eiffel tower, with sev eral new features added, is also to be one of the attractions of the approaching exposition. Efforts are being made to com plete the liandsome new bridge over the eine river, designed in honor I of Alexander III of Russiaand, if nothing prevents, this gorgeous specimen of archi tectural work will be ready for the exposition in 1900. Every foreign nation is to have a special commissioner, and through him alone will his countrymen be permitted to treat with the exposition raana- It is the evident ? purpose of the French people not only to eclipse their former expositions of 1889, 1878 and 1855, but also, if possible, to overshadow the Columbian exposition of 1893, While much in the way of inventive genius and origi nality is conceded to the French people, it remains to be seen whether or not our own exposi tion is surpassed!. Atla nta Con stitution. I One of our typographers is authority for the statement that there is a man near Pilot Moun tain;who hauls wood to the rail road with a cow and milks the cow regularly. He quenches his thirst with the . milk, eats the butter for meat, makes his bread by plowing the cow, and clothes himself with the money got from sales of the wood.

DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR TICKET IN THE TUNNEL. "If the Lord be with us, why . then is all this befallen us?" (Judges 6:13). There are many people who stop -believing the Bible when ever things begin to happen that are not pleasant to the flesh. Too many who conclude that God has forsaken them, because the shop shuts down and they are thrown out of em ployment. Too many who get into the desert of unbelief and pray for death under the juni per tree of a rebellious spirit, when the bank breaks and they lose their money. Too many who are ready to turn away from Christ, whenever there is likely to be a scarcity of loaves and fishes. We should never look at things of sight and sense to learn God's attitude toward us, for it is our privilege to. be lieve that he will never leave or forsake us. The condition of perfect peace is perfect trust. Just as surely as we stop walk ing by faith, and -begin to de pend on , reason' for' comfort, trouble will come, and we shall find ourselves groping in the darkness of perjrfexity and doubt, Every doubt of God's goodness and presence with us, is a lying messenger who would persuade us that we are bank rupt. The tiling for us to do in all such cases, is to worship God and keep trusting in him . To believe that he is still our sun and shield, no matter hoiv dark and desolate things may look. So long as we know our selves to be true" and 'loyal fol lowers of Christ, we ought to find rest and peace in his prom ise, to Ixj always with us.

It is never safe to say things to the ragged, unkempi man one sees and meets a-fishing by some mud pond or stream . This truth is illustrated by the case of Daniel Webster, j j Webster was a fisherman and had sloops and a smack in which he used to enjoy the pastime. He was not over-fastidious in his fisherman's dressl .If j he t6re his clothes he did not take the trouble to have the rent sewed up, and when enjoyi ng his sport he. Was a tolerably rough-looking customer, accord-; ing to a Rdchester paper, whose reporter interviewed Mrs. Dawes, a resident of Marshfield in Webster's dav. I ' Webster and Mrs J Dawes' un cle were fishing one day from the shore of the, bav. wlien a' 1 1 stylish young fellow," a visitor at Marshfield, tumbled head over i 1 heels into the marsh. The turn- I ! bier yelled at Webster, asking how much he would take to haul him' out and carry him over the mud. "A quarter!" answered "Web ster, and tho deed was done. Whereupon, the quarter was turned over and Webster had started away, when the mud stumbler asked : "To whom am Ij indebted?" "Only Daniel Webster." The man said afterward that he apologized for his supercil iousness, and did not reckon oth er people up according to thf number of tears and patches and mud on tlieir Y. Sun. clothes. N. N. C.

The woman was born with a bjack skin in Jamaica about forty-five years ago. She says that she remained witli the characteris tic negro color to her skin until she was twenty-two years of age, when she began rapidly turning white, the complete transformation being made in less than three- months. She remained Avhite for about a year , . " . ana tnen turned niacK .again. but more slowly than the . white transformation had come upon her. When this second change in skin color took place she was sure she had returned to her original coJbr, and would remain that hue during the balance of herjife, but it was only a few short months until she was again as white as an albino. Since that time the changes have yearly taken place, I the woman being white one summer and black the next. She suffers no pain whatever. Atlanta Con stitution. ; s ' NO REST FOR THE EDITOR .
