Skeletons Of Giants.


A dispatch from Hartford, Ohio, says:
This region has for years been profit
able field for students OF Indian arch
geology. Many mounds have been
opened, and almost always with results.
Last week g small mound near Homer
was opened, almost by accident, and q
huge skeleton found in q bad state of
preservation. About six feet below the
surface an oblong excavation was found.
It was about three feet deep, ten long,
and six wide. The floor was Of heavy
slabs. Charcoal, evidently that of
burned bone, was abundant, indicating
that either an animal or human sacrifice
had been offered. In the centre Of the
excavation, lying face down and side by
side, were four giant skeletons in state
Of dne preservation. The men IN life
must have been nine feet TALL. The Jaw
bones OF one were easily passed over q
mans head to his shoulders, and the
Uranium Of the other would only Just go
into large wooden bucket. Weapons
and utensils were found. The hatchets
are Of large size and superior workman
ship. A pipe Of stone, highly polished
and with rude engrayings Of animals on
the bowl, Is said to be the only en-
eraved stone ever found IN an Indian
grave. A vessel, evidently kettle or
basin, holding about one gallon and
having holes near the brfm for carrying
purposes. was also found. a bow and
very large darts we're also found

Not Lazy, But not Quick.

We are afraid that no class Of our
great city population gets less sympathy
and help than our Italian immigrants,
whom we are too apt to associate with
squalor, laziness and bursts Of Sudden
ferocity. Miss Janet Dale, OF Chicago,
has been interviewing some Of them.
Thus spoke to her the father of a repre-
sentative family, as she reports his talk
Ia the Mems:
"Ah navair can get de work In de

half signing, as, with an understandable
shrug, he lays aside the guitar. ''De

sad Endinw IS Plixhted TroFh-A young
Lazy Crmelly Jilaed.

tt Is rarely that more pathetic story
Is presented than that contained in the
return 10 4 writ IN lunaey fled ia the
Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia.
The subject Of the proceedings was 4
highly educated. unmarried woman Of
thirty eight. She lived with relatives
near Shawmont, q pretty village on the
Schuylksll. where the college boat races
take place. The cause OF her derange-
ment IS pathetically given in the testi-
mony Of her uncle, an Episcopalian
clergyman.
When quite child, he said. the
young lady was courted BY young
army officer. After long engagement
she was. as he ayers, .shamefuily lilted. !"
She was Frustrated by the shock Of sepa-
ration, and the treatment, as the clergy
man says, spoiled her whole life.
Early in 1883. the testimony goes on.
there entered the young lady's circle u
acquaintance rector, who bore some
resemblance to her old lover. He awoke
in her remembrances Of the past.
Though Ae was married she became pos
sessed Of D certain fascination for him.
Her family, seeing the drift Of her
thoughts, prevailed on her to join an
excursion party to California. On her
return she was attacked with absolute
melancholia. She would lie PROSTATE
for hours, wishing for death. Her tenn
permanent, which always before had been
quiet and kindly, became excitable and
irritable. AS the months went BY the
manifestations Of mental unsonndness
became more marked. She made large
purchases of articles of which she had
no need. On one occasion her bin was
$500. She said iokingly that she was
new Mr.. Toodles. Attempts to divert
her from wasteful expenditures failed.
One afternoon she was found sitting
in bed with sunshade open and over
her. She talked incoherently and
abused everyone. She engaged passage
for Europe, desired parlor car to take
al her friends to see her of, and asked
gentleman for letters to all ssthe
crowned heads of Europe" 90 that she
could be presented at court. She called
always on the name Of her old lover and
the clergyman who resembled him.
While she was ct church carriage
was brought, and when she emerged she
was put into the vehicle and driven to
the Pennsylvania Insane Asylum. She
made no resistance. A cert ficate set
ting forth the fact that she was insane
had been obtained, SO that everything
was prepared for her admission. She
has an income Of 81, 100. A committee
appointed by the Court viii take charge
Of this.

Two little Upper Main street boys IN

wee damsel who sits on the front seat ct

thing was that which one Of them did

original plea By which he obtained the
