FROM THE WORLD'S FAIR J Interesting Notes from the White Citi by Our Special Correspondent. J Ono of the most interesting buildings of the fair is the Anthropological building in the southern part of the grounds. This building is the chief feature of the Ethnological exhibit. It contains tire remains of prehistoric times. The remains that are found in various "'pC'l’lf I of the eastern and western contiueati I The development in the earth's forma-I tion is also very nicely brought The fossils of thyl or ^iva^reprod <>< dons, 'i ho ng« of MnninmlH is represented bv a

huge animals Willi iinmeo it is CXtremaly dangeious to pronounce. Among these mammals is a huge mammoth reproduced from the bones and one tusk found near Wortcnburg, Germany. This specimen is said to be a mammoth among mammoths as it is at least a fourth larger than the average remains found. The skeleton of a ’ mastodon is also shown. This skeleton I was found near Cohoes, N. Y., fifty fret lx I<>w the surface in ISGG. The only difference between the mammoth and the mastodon is that one is covered «ilh hair while the other is not. The remains of human beings and their productions are of peculiar interest. From seeress the water we have the old Grecian sculpture, the gods of India including Amida Buddha seated upon a lotus supported upon a pedestal. Hen jin Knnmoon, the thon-aml handed god, and Ibshamon 1 xu, one of the seven gods of good for tune. Then there is the black Obelisk of Shalinaveser I. of Assyria, which was made mow than eight hundred years before Christ. Tim Andialimi exhibit has numlx r* <>f I oom -rangs, wooden shields, spears .Hbllint Inals, tally winger, a chib nidi a large knot nt the end, and a nulla nulla, a chib with knots at tb< | sides, besides many other enri ■ « and i interesting things.

The reporter might have some difllcully in proving hi* aM«cition but it issunly turn that Ihe so remains ate very am ient. The leading Imericnn exhi’ d c.

The mummies, of which they have a great number, were found walled in crevices about tin chimney or in the corners of I the ro >m or wherever there happened to be apace. The mummies are wrapped in cloth made of ^laut fiber

aud feathers about which is wrapped a j matting of reeds and all securely tied > with rope that is as perfectly made as anything we have to day. It is positively proven that these people were iu no way connected with the Indians as they had red, brown aud auburn hair. Besides the feather cloth they hid qurte a good quality of cotton doff, which was colorwt and mark mJ VkS) ■ •i. siun* similar to the Greek and man; the p0u..., which b superior quality, is these designs. I but and shells used in making their domestic implements. There is one shell necklace fifty two feet long found wrapped in well tanned buckskin. It is supposed that their only domestic fowls were turkeys, as all the feathers used in the manufacture of the feather cloth, were

turkey feathers, aud wings and other portions of these birds were found. They must have been farmers, as great quantities of corn were found. Much of this corn they have tried to sprout but have failed in getting a single kernel to grow, although three grain of wheat were found iu the hand of an Egyptian mummy two thousand years old, all sprouted. There were also pumpkins and squash seeds and an unknown set d which has something tlm resemblance of mustard. Then there are the shells of goards, squashes, and pumpkins, all of which are quite well

preserved. lake it all in all it is an extremely interesting exhibit, as it is positive that these remains have been in existence ^housandt of years. The remains from ti| »e Peruvian burying grounds are also w| wy interestin and one who misses the Eo nt tropologies] building will miss one . the greatest treats of a life time. H. G.

The meeting adjourned l about one o'clwk. , The following paragraph appeared in a recent issue of a Georgia paper: • There is no use of Americans worryI ing about the future. Should this country go to grass, we will be able to dispose of the hay at from thirty to

fifty dollars a ton." Doiit Vou Know that you can secure almost immediate relief > from indigestion, ami that uncomfortable fulness after meals, by simply Liking a dose of Simmons Liver Regulator? Some people think that because it is called Liver Regulator it has nothing to do with Indigestion and the like. It is tho inaction of the Liver that causes Indigestion, iUk-l that fullness ; also Cd?.stipation, and those Bilious Ileadaches. Millions have been made to understand this and have been cured from these troubles by Simmons Liver Regulator —a medicine unfailing and purely vegetable. From R>-v. ?I.B.Wharton, Baltimore,M4 ‘•lt r.tlbrds me pleasure to add my testimony to ti e great virtues of Simmons I Eu<-r Regulator. I have had experience wit .i it, us occasion demanded; for many years, aud regard iu as the greatest mediclno of the times. So good a medicine deserves universal counnendatlou.
