Contents of North Carolina Mound.

Mr.. J. NJ. Spainhour has described. in
the Elisha Mitchell Scientific society,
some relics that were discovered in the
excavation of mound in Caldwell
county, n. G. Within the mound was
found skeleton lying upon its face, with
the head resting in large sea shell,
the inner surface of which was carved
with hieroglyphics. Around the neck
were large beads made of sea shells.
The o,ms were extended and bent at the
elbows, so as to bring the hands within
about foot of the head. Around each
wrist was a bracelet, composed of cop
per and shell beads, alternating. The
copper beads appeared to have been ham,
nlered into thin sheets and rolled around
the string, part of which was preserved.
Near the right hand was an iron imple-
ment like chisel or punch, not sharp
pointed, but smaller at the end away
from the handle. The left hand was
resting on the convex surface of a sea
shell, the concave surface of which con-
tanned about q hundred small beads.
The shell was carved with hieroglyphics.

THANKSGIVING POULTRY.

The amount of poultry taken by the |
markets of New England and New York
for Thanksgiving something enormous,
and each year more is consumed than the
year before. Christmas week also creates
big demand for this product. All kinds !
of poultry are in demand for Thanks
giving, but turkeys and geese form the
principal feature of the Christmas de-
mand. Springfield with it 10000 pop
ulation is one of the best poultry mar
kets in New England. During Thanks
giving week last year one firm, ii. l..
Niles & Co., handled 26,020 lbs of tur-
keys, 1,3l7 lbs of chickens, 1868 lbs of
ducks and 2440 lbs of geese. This was
but share of what Springfield took.
Boston, Worcester, Providence, Hart
ford, New York and Albany are markets
which take great numbers of birds, and
prices at those cities govern the rest of
the markets throughout the section.
Western poultry comes to these mar
kets dry-picked and drawn, but nearby
supplies are taken un-drawn but picked.
In preparing the poultry for market care
should be taken to have the skin as little
broken as possible. Some dealers prefer
dry-picked if it is to be kept long, but
scalded stock is growing in favor.
Where scalded, care should be taken not
to overdo it. That is, the birds should be
dipped and not soaked in the water. If
the scald is light the skin and flesh will
not be Redeemed, and as the feathers can
be removed without tearing the skin, the
appearance is much better than when dry
picked. The difference in price between
carefully plucked and carelessly plucked
poultry is sufficient to make it an object
to do the very best work possible. Bos-
ton formerly preferred the dry-picked,
but light scalded stock is now preferred
The heads and legs should be left on if
undrawn.
The best way to pack poultry for ship
ment is to wrap each bird in MANILA pa
per and pack closely in boxes so that
they will not shift about; don't
crowd them in such a way as to
bruise the flesh, which will show
discolored spots when taken out.
If this paper is not at hand, clean oat
straw may be used as a substitute. Ship
by express that the shipment may not
spoil on the way.
Stock should reach the larger markets
on the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving
and may be sent to smaller markets to
arrive as late as Tuesday but not later.
If consigned to commission men the ship
per will find it to his advantage to weigh
and tag each bird. AS marketmen place
their orders early. the farmer who has
poultry for sale should arrange for a
market at once.-[ Homestead.

Selling Fruit in England.

The manner of selling fruit by the
commission houses of Liverpool, Lon
don, Glasgow and Edinburgh was ex-
planned When the fruit arrives it is
docked, and no time is lost by the con-
s!gnee in disposing of it. The fruit is
divided into Stacks, tights and vets.
The Stacks are those barrels where the
fruit rattles around, and brings less
than the tights, which is supposed to
be prime fruit The barrels are sell
dom opened and emptied. The COM
mission firm then auctions them off
according TO the grades noted above.
The vets are presumably those
apples that are damaged, or sweat dur
ing the voyage over. A trick often
resoited to by some of the foreign
firms is TO take barrel of Stacks, re-
move the head and put in few sound
apples, and a prime barrel of tights is
the result. Thus, the barrel brings the
leading price. In this way, on a recent
shipment of car load of apples, 160
barrels, saving of $35 was Melted the
shipper. Very few houses in England
win do this, and there is need of a
large consignment house there that
will take American fruit, sort and pick
apples over and put them on the mar
ket in good condition. New York
Times.

Curious Case of Insanity.

"Well. yes" said q well known med
ical practitioner, who lives within a days
walk of the city hall, Il do meet some
very curious cases and people sometimes.
l can hardly say what is the most pecu-
liar malady have ever seen, but lady
l am attending is suffering from a form
of lunacy for which / can find no prece-
dent. She thinks she is being starved to
death and neglected by her relatives,
who are in reality most devoted to her.
She is about 40 years old, and not very
long ago was quite pretty little woman.
Today l suppose she weighs $50 pounds,
and has the most enormous and unnat-
ural appetite you ever heard of. She
has five grown up children and lives
with married daughter.
Il have known her wake up the en-
tire household in the middle of the night
and demand rice and milk. While eat
ing it she wept and declared that her in
human daughter was trying to starve
her. 1t would have been laughable, but
for the pathos of it all, to see this i'm
mensely stout lady seated on the floor,
shoveling rice into her mouth with one
hand, while with the other she wiped
away the tears that the supposed cruel
conduct of her daughter had caused
to flow. When not craving for food she
is devoted mother and estimable lady.
The least delay III attending to her crav-
ings transforms her into a dangerous
lunatic. She storms, shouts, and will
attack any one. She will never be cured,
but, except as to her food, her sanity is
absolute. Brooklyn Eagle.

HOW TO WASH DISHES.

A writer in a domestic journal gives
some good advice on subject about
which the women folks have no doubt
troubled their heads more than about
any other connected with their duties.
One of the most wearisome domestic
her own work is the "never ending, still
beginning" washing of dishes. 1t is Of
ten real pleasure to prepare dainty,
palatable meal; well earned satisfaction
in viewing the work of ones hands in
the light, sweet loaves of white or brown
bread. the roast of flesh or fowl, done to
turn, the perfect cake, quvering Gus
tards, etc. But no one of these. tooth
some viands can be brought to pass with
out the aid of various pans, spoons, cups,
ETC., all to be cleansed for perhaps i'm
mediate use again. They must be wash
ed by hands already weary-for modern
invention, fertile as it is, has not yet, to
my knowledge, produced an automatic
dishwasher and dryer 1t is discourage
ing, and few things sooner bring the
tired housekeeper's spirit down to zero
Especially if the mercury has already
gone down to that point) than kitchen
table full of sticky, greasy, unwashed
dishes greeting her as she rises from
breakfast or dinner, and in addition to
the dishes used upon the family table.
A very great help is to wash as you go,
how x,ith hnt anA cloth
handy on the table, and as fast as you
dish articles from the stove or range
wash the cooking vessel. Rinse out fry
ing pans, kettles, ETC., with very hot wa
ter to take off the grease. Chain dish
cloths readily take off whatever sticks to
the sides of the stew-pans or pots, or
common clam shell may answer the
same purpose. AS nearly all cooking
utensils are more easily washed when
warm, washing as you 60 saves time for
the dining room work after the meal, be-
sides setting the kitchen sooner in order.
Keep several thick holders near the stove
to save your hands (and towels in lift
ing hot kettles or pans. Never take
hold of these with the dish cloth, as you
wish to keep that important kitchen
appliance entirely free from pot black
and grease. By taking some simple pre-
cautions the cooking vessels can be wash
ed with almost as much ease as your
china service. By having your pan and
hot water ready you may sit down to
breakfast or dinner with the sense of re-
lief that the kitchen things are out of the
way-until next time.

Ancestors of the English.

England and the English do not, after
all, derive their name from the Angles,
according to the long rooted tradition, so
declares German government professor,
DR.. Bening. After extensive researches,
he has discovered that the word Eng
lish' originates from the "Engern," a
numerous and powerful Saxon race liv-
ing near the banks of the Weser, on the
North sea. This theory rests also upon
the authority of the old British monk
Gildas, who lived much earlier than
Bede, and who speaks only of the Sax
ons who colonized Britain. Further,
DR.. Bening points out that our supposed
forefathers, the Angles, dwelt on the
Baltic, further off. and that their coun-
try was much smaller than the land of
the Engern. Frank Leslies.
