It is not generally known that Flora Macdoriald, the heroine of Charles Stuart's escape from Scotland, lived for a number of years in North Carolina.' That such was the case is brought to light in William Powers' *'Prince Charlie, tlie Last Hope of the Stuarts." Her husband, Allan MacDonald.' became brigadier of the loyalist troops, wag taken prisoner, and finally'returned with his family to Scotland. Though a figure in the rebellion which all but unseated the house of. .Hanover, Florj*. Macdonald •gave-five sons- to the British service; yareeto the army and two (who perished at sea) to the navy. Her two daughters married officers. Flora died in 1790, and was buried in the little ■churchyard of Kilmuir. Her shroud was the sheets in which Prince Charlie liad slept in 1746. No loyalty could liave been more disinterested than 'Tiers; but it is said that there is nothing to show that after their parting the prince ever so much as remembered her name. \ * Los Angeles, California, has now attained fame as a mine of antique bones. Mr W. H. Osgood. curator of the Field Museum in Chicago, was directed to explore in the neighborhood of Los Angeles and what he discovered there is now astonishing scientists. . He found, to begin with, the 6kull of a prehistoric lion, the 6kull being eighteen inches long and twelve inches wide across the top. These measurements may not convey much to the ordinary mmd. but to tb.e scientist they indicate that this was the largest lion that ever lived on earth, the ikull beinjz twice as | large as the largest one heretofore .known to"science. The explorer also unearthed -the fossils of three camels, . * drove of torses, and a quantity of other interestine bones. Malting good cough mixture at home . is now a simple process.
