When Barnum brought Jenny Lind to the United States, the whole coun- try went mad over her--egged on, of course, by. the master showman. But there were plous persons who did mot accept her. One such, Mrs, Niles Wadsworth, wife of the village black- smith of Cornwall, Connecticut, has - been rescued from oblivion by Emanuel Bcoville, Jr. Here is the story: Niles planned to travel down to New York to hear Jenny. If he went to hear a play actress, his wife warned him, she would never speak fo him again. He did and she didn't, They lived, together alter that. for over twen- ty years, but :he never spoke a word to him from that day on, even when he lay a-dying.

This is the first one found in Germany, the only others in existence having Ween discovered in England, France and Austria. The cave, situated in the so-called Swa- bian Alb, was discovered by accident, and the Prehistoric Institute of con- ducting the excavations. In the en- trance to the cave palgolithic tools and bones were found. The cave dis closed itself as a neolithic burial place, the finds including ceramics, hand-| mills, flint weapons and the bones of mammoths, rhinoceroses, wild horses and cave bears. The most important finds, in addi- tion to the skull from the Aurignacian period, some twenty t> fifty thousand years ago, include nrticles from the first millenniums' following that per- lod. Among them are ivory needles and other implements of eight differ- ent types, mammoth teeth and spear heads of bone and ivory.

Big Entry List For Winter Fair Live Stock and Agricultural Displays Higher Than Usual A welcome and refreshing tone of confidence in Canadian agricultural conditions is sounded in the announce. ment by the management of the Royal Winter Fair that "prospects for en- tries at the Royal in all departments were never better than at the present momen..." inces are most anxious 'o eontinue to display their liv stock and other agri- cultural products," the Royal's state- ment goes on, "and the Dominion Government and the Provincial Gov- ernments, recognizing the advantages of the provinces continuing to occuny a prominent position at the Royal are contribv.ing their usual financial assistance in transportation and in the selection of the live stock and agricultural products. "There has been .nore than the usual aumber of inquiries from Un- ited Stutes points this year and the Royal's survey of Ontario and Quebe: indicates that there is considerably more live stock than usual ready for exhibition, so that we are very satis- fied that the Winter Fair will open with the best and most representative live stock displays which we nave ever had. "Although general conditions last November were anything but favor- able, 1930 was the Royal's record year, not only in exhibits and attendance, but the spirit of the people at the show was happier than at any pre- vious event. We feel surc that the spirit of optimism at that time has served a very useful purpose in that it has enabled Canadians better to view recent economic adjustments with equanimity, We believe that a similar result will be secured at the forthcoming Royal Winter Fair, and be more roticeab's yerhaps on account of tte greater coatrast in conditions.
