Mn. WILLIAM ELLMAKER, of Earl,
Penn, had a field in which the foot
could not he set down without strik-
ing thistles. He determined TO try
the plan of allowing none of their
leaves TO breathe. lie plowed it for
corn, and when the corn was three
inches high the thistles were six
inches. His shovel.harrow and hoe
cut all off. lie went over the field
six times, and felt like giving 1t M,
but pcrsevered. They were very thin
and spindly at the seventh going
over, and then disappeared. None
came up the next spring nor since.
The ground was fall OF their dead
roots.

Indian Relics in Maine,

One Of the most interesting localities
and one of the latest unearthed in this
vicinity is the Indian place OF execution
or torture on Fort Island at the mar
rows, near the mouth Of the Damaris-
Gotta River. A few days ago, while
Postmaster Carnage and Mr.. Phelps
were hunting for relics at the above
named place, they discovered among
numerous fish spears, needles and ar
rowheads, the remains Of five skele-
tons, apparently Indians-the skulls
showing a very low order of intellect
one skull of which they were able to
get out nearly perfect, which is now in
the possession of DR.. Chapman. They
found five under-iawA one of them
nearly perfect but none of them would
fit the skulls, One skull was very
large; they judged it to be nearly
twice the seize Of the average, but SO
far decayed that with the utmost care
it could not be moved from the place
where it lay. These skeletons did not
lie in any regular order, but appeared
TO have been burned at stake, as a
space of six feet square or more was
covered with ashes, charcoal and rocks
that had been exposed to fire. The
skulls were nearly face down and but
few other bones could be removed
whole. The appearance indicated that
there had been numerous victims
burned at different times, and the
whole was covered with an accumua-
ton of earth and shells in four distinct
layers one foot in depth. They also
found pottery, the skulls of deer and
jaws of bears, and one large stag or elk
horn. There is no doubt but that dill
gent search will reveal further evidence
Of aplace Of savage torture. - DamariS-

May Mr.. Jones went prancing through
the CLOSETS, looking for something lie
couldn't find, and turning things gen
orally inside out.
''Maria, he screamed, "where's my
gray alpaca duster?"
MADE it over for Johnny"
"Ahem Well, there's the brown
linen one bought last summer"
"Clothes-bagn' mumbled Mrs. Jones,
who seemed to have a difficulty in her
speech at that moment. Just made
it into nice one"
Where are my lavender pants ?"
yelled Jones.
"Cut them over for Willie"
"Heavensr groaned her husband
then, in voice of thunder, "Where
have my blue suspenders got toa'
Hung the baby-jumper with them"
MARIAN asked the astonished man,
in a subdued voice, ''would you mind
telling me what you have done with
my silk hat YOU have MT made that
over for the baby, have youP"
90! no, dear" answered his wife,
cheerfuly; "I've used that for hang
ing-basket. 1t is full of plants and
looks lovely"
Mr. Jones never mentions the word
economy, or suggests making over-he
has had enough Of it.
