How to put an Egg In = Bottle.

A writer i'm the Rural yetr Yorker, tells
the young folks how they may perform
the magic feat Of putting an egg into q
bottle. Like many other things, it is easy
enough when you know how. This Is
the way it is done: Soak a fresh egg for
several days in strong vinegar. The acid
in the vinegar will eat the lime Of the

same it will be soft and capable of COM

third smaller than the egg. With alittle
care you will have no trouble In pressing
the latter into the hottie. Fill the bot

days you will have hsrd-sbelled egg in

the egg. OF course you pour off the lime

Interesting Researches OF An Arche0l.
ogist In the Far Northwest.
Mr.. David Young returned from Fort
Francis last evening. having been onA
pleasure trip rs well as on an investi-
eating tour as 20 the contents of the
Indian mounds on Rainy River. During
last winter Mr.. Young opened a mound
on Lake Winder, in the northern part
Of the everglades OF Florida. and he
has since been anxious to compare the
contents of the southern mound with
that Of those in the far northwest-the
extreme south WITH the extreme north.
The mound first examined was that
opened by Prof. Bryce during the sum-
uacr. and where the first whole cup or
vase of baked carthenware was discov-
cred. The time was limited. and only
a few hours could be given (and those
during the nighf) to examining the
mound. Accordingly a number of
men were placed at work, and the
scene was indeed a peculiar one. Three
large fires were lighted to give light, as
well as heat. and in the flickering light
it seemed Is il number of ghouls
were at work unearthing the dead. At
last the form of a man was found in
the usual sitting position. with tho
arms crossed on the breast. and facing
the east. The figure was entire. and
pieces Of pottery were beside him. as
well as large spear-head of granite.
Many bones were found, but seemed as

excavations have been made, but no
really extensive exploration has been
made Of this mound. A rich find will
be the reward of anyone who will give
the necessary time to thoroughly ex-
riore 1.-THE largest as vet known on
Rainy River. Later on Il smaller mound
in the vicinity was thoroughly opened.
and in it were found bones and two
vases. but on removing the vases they
fell 70 pieces. On the west side was
found a skull. with the teeth perfect,
but on touching it the head fell to
pieces The bodies were buried in the
usual way, in circle, with some fig
ures and the vases in the center, but
age had so far decayed them that no
samples could be procured. Mr. A. C.

opened two mounds at the mouth of
the Little American River and found
copper beads and utensils. as we'll IS
three white vases similar to those

side of the river there are many
mounds. but the Indians will not allow,
them to be opened. claiming that those
buried there were the victims of some
dread disease. and that II the mounds
were opened the same disease would at
once carry off the whole tribe. On tho
American side there are no resident
Indians. so that the mounds can be ex-
amined ut will. Mr.. Young expresses
determination to thoroughly explore
some of the mounds in Florida this
winter and next summer to spend sew

The Girls of the Present day.

Girls nowaday become young ladies' 1T
the very early age of ten years. AT this
age they receive company, and Garry on
with the boys on the street; they pass
homes with boys i'm buggies and walking.
They turn round to see them in church
and look at them during the sermon, es-
pecially while the minister is praying,
and do things like that, which if "A grown
girl had done ten years ago, would have
gotten her good thrashing. And thus
the world wags. \ boy is a boy and a
girl is a girl, no matter what the cid folks
say.
.A,.l If a young fellow dares to take a
girl ont riding, every one will say, 20,
that is mash. there aint no Use talking
they are certainly engaged. or they would
not be out riding
And when fellow does get girl that
he likes pretty well, and sees another girl
on the street and speaks to her, or if he
goes to see amy other girl but her, aud
she finds it out, woe be unto him! he had
just as well not get back to see No. any
more, for If he does, he viii surely come
home, lie down OH bed, and begin to
gricve and cry, or do some other babyish
trick, and an eayesdropper will hear him
say that his girl told him that she did not
want to hay. anything more to do with
him. because he was stuck on another
girl and didn't care anything more for
her. When a girl wants to get married
whether she is Of age or not, parents or
no parents, nothing will stop her deter
mination; she will run away and get mar
ried any how.
And i'll about two years she aud her
fellow WIN come back, and ask for food
and shelter i'm her fathers house.
Now what does the world think of such
girls as that? They say that it is not so:
bnt just look at them; every day we see
the boy and the girl bossing the cid folks
around. And still parents willrIise their
children that way, whether it is injurious
to them or not.
The boys are just as bad as the girls,
but l think as little rs the girls can
do, is to set them a good example. The
idea of boy and girl under fifteen, or
any other age, flirting simply because it
is fashionable. Their parents ought to
las fashion aside and thrash them both.
When girl falls in love with a boy and
Will not flirt with her in one way or an
other. she just changes around and gets
another fellw, and her excuse is Gf she
has any at alD that he was too awkward,
or that he was too-or, 'soh well ] have
no excuse at all, but like some one else
better, / am not mad with him. Hike him
stil!.'' That is what they generally say
and those are the only excuses they can
give for going back on poor fellow. /
think they are very poor excuses. What
do you think idea.

From Our Exchanges.

The following special to Times
Democrat has this to say of Con-
gresham Blanchard and the Back
bone Land Grant:
Referring to the Washington
special in the Times-Democrat of
Tuesday, Congressman Blanchard
says that Col. Wheelock is mista-
ken in supposing that he partici-
pated in the protest filed with Sec
retary Teller on March 2, by virtue
of which Secretary Teller's sue
cessor, Mr.. Lamar, has arrested
the issue of . the Backbone land
patents.
Congressman Blanchard says his
course has been perfectly clear
and consistent throughout. He
protested in the first instance, but
subsequently Withdrew his oppo-
sition on consideration of the
company's agreeing to extend to
the settlers certain specified privi-
legcs. Since then he has kept faith
with the company, doing nothing
whatever to arrest the issue of the
patents and the final settlement of
the controversy.
Col. Wheelock' mistake Is per-
haps natural. He knows that a
protest was filed, and that it was
signed by members of the Louisi-
ana delegation who had previously
been active, if not importunate, in
urging what they then condemned.
and he might easily hare concluded
that Congressman Blanchard, who
at no time champion of the meas
urc, and who had merely consent
ed to withdraw his opposition had
joined in the protest. Such, how
ever, does not seem TO have been
the ease. MIR. blanchard says he
was not even asked to sign the doe
ument. and would not have done
so if he had been. Senator's Van
Wycke, Jones, Hill, Congressman
Lewis and others signed

this morning by Deputies Stevens

The officers knew that Mcdonald
owned some goats near bOerne,
which were under the charge of

law, and they commenced shadow
ing the camp. Yesterday they saw

they lay concealed in the cedar

while to be shot and put out of his
misery. This happened at San

Death Of ex-senator Sharon.

Ex-senator William Sharon died at San
Francisco at 1872 o'clock yesterday after
noon. He was born at Smithlield, Ohio,
January ., 1921. On removing to Nevada
he became largely interested in mining OPP
erations. amas=iug enormous wealth. His
fortune is estimated at $20,000000. He was
United States Senator from Nevada for the
term beginning in 1875 and ending in 1881.
Several years ago Miss Sarah Althea Hill,
who claimed to he the wife of Senator Sha-
ron, instituted suit against him for divorce
and alimony. The decision was in favor OF
Miss Hill, but an appeal was taken, and the
case is still pending. In making his will
last week Mr.. Sharon reiterated in the most
positive terms that Miss Hill was not his
wife, and that he never wrote the words
"My Dear Wife" in letter which the plain.
tiff used with effect. 1t is said that MIR.
Sharon expended at least a half million dol:
lars in defending the suit, and he expressed
the determination to expend every cent he
possessed in litigation before he would pay
Miss Hill dollar.

of the Virginia democratic association OF TINS
city il was determined to secure comfort

Governor Lee, and to enlarge the member,
shin of the association by the election OF

his city would supply the association Win

Major Heator, who represents the large
and populous counties OF Louooun anu
Fanonier in the Senate of Virginia, is in
the civ to day, on his way home from Rich
mond In talking about the next U. S. Sen.
ator from his State he said that while he had
no definite information upon the subject,
from what he had read and heard, supple
mented by his own ideas, he supposed MIR.
Barbour would be elected, without q contest:
Elk Commonwealth Attorney Brent, OF
Alexandria, who is also in the city to day,
saws that when in Fredericksburg last
Thursday night he heard that both the del.
eoete and senator from that district thought
Mr.. Barbour should have the place. Col.
Cab Maddox stated the other day, when he
was here, that the delegate from Shenan-
doah was also Barbour man. AS Prev.
ously stated in this correspondence, most OF
the Virginians who come here not only
think that Mr.. Barbour has earned the Sen
atorship, but that by the time the Leglsa'
ture meets he will, as Major Heaton thinks,
get it without contest.
Mr.. DUNCAN, one Of the lessees OF the
| Alexandria Canal, says the prospect Tor a
railroad across the Aqueduct bridge and
along the BERNIE bank ofthat canal in the near
future is very favorable. He says he I'M
derstands that $500 has been paid General
Hunton by the friends of free bridge
across the Potomac at Georgetown, to try to
have bill passed by Congress providing foi
| if he shall succeed, but that in any such bill
the lessees of the canal and the Canal Com.
pany will do all they can to preserve the
rights of the company.
Northern democrats here to-day say that
under the civil service rules, as illustrated
by the appointment Of O'Brien instead Of
Sterling TO the Weighershipi the New York
Customs House, it is plain that no democrat
can get an Office az long as there remains an
ex. Union soldier to compete with him for it.
1t is generally supposed here that the dis.
patch stating that General Malone is TO
locate permanently in the Red River Val
ley is Il telegraphic mistake, and that Salt
River Valley was intended.
Both the regular boats on the Alexandria
ferry are running this afternoon, and will
continue to do so. The Arrowsmith, which
has been Filing the place Of one Of them,
will be laid up temporarily.
The report that General Farnsworth, Adj
iutant General of New York, has declined
the U. S. Marshalship of the District OF
Columbia, is utterly unfounded. He never
applied for the place, nor was it ever ten.
dered him, though it is probable he would
accept it if it were. The general impression
now seems to be that the long deferred
change in all the offices of the District OF
Columbia will be made at an early day.
