ing a dinner party. 4 large block OF ice

first. the servan; handing the plates Al

Tho explorations In the she'll heaps on the
coast Of Maine. especially on tho Damariscotta
River and Muscongus Sound. will probably be
continued this summer. and they promise to be-
rich In relics. Already much pottery. bono and
stone implements. and double barbcd harpoon
points. have been found; and. rs these are the
first that have been found In the Atlantic shell
heaps. they command special interest. because
they closely resemble similar objects from the
northwestern coast.
These shell mounds mark the former DWELL
ing places Of a3origines. and include the refuse
OF the villages The bones found are not only
those OF tho turtle. goldfish. founder. sturgeon.
and devil fish. but those Of tho deer moose.
bear. fox. otter. skunk. beaver. and seal and
some bones OF species OF large bird. Tho lat
ter may be a relic Of the great aux now extinct
Tho bone and stone Implements are deeper
down in the mounds than the iron spears and
axes. although the form OF these IL sufficiently
antique for archRologists The mounds seem
to have been used also for human burial for
human skeletons are found. but it Is suspected
that these are roles OF the early whites.
Tho time OF the contact between the Indians
on this coast and the whites is approximately
fixed by tho discovery OF a small clay pipe such
as was smoked in England about the middle OF
tho seventeenth century The fact that 1t was
covered with only ten inches OF shells tells OF
itself tho arrival OF superior race. for here the
past history. as illustrated by the shell mound
closes. and the covering Of greon turf Is laid
over 1t by natures hand.

American Women,

Mrs. LANGTRY, 1t seems, finds fault with
the American women, and especially our
married women, because their figures are
altogether too plump"
That Is rather surprising criticism for an
English woman to make-and we call Mrs.
LANdTRY ali English woman though we be-
leve. she has little, v any, English blood In
her veins. But she came hithcr from Lon
don, where she gained her fame, or attained
her notoriety, rather She looks at our wo-
men from an English point OF view; and yet,
after travelling the country through, East
and West, North and South. she pronounces
them altogether too plump"
According to.the old Punch caricature, the
typical American beauty was a thin and
scrawny creature, just as the typical Ameri-
can man WAS lank, lean, and bony spcci-
men OF the human race, the cadaverous pro-
duct OF fever and aaue and bad cooking. And
these types were always so accentuated by
the draughtsman that the American man
and woman could be as easily distinguished
as tho well-fed John Bull.
Doubtless the physical appearance OF the
people here has much changed within the last
generation or two, and the transformation
