Opening Indian Graves.

On the farm Of Mr.. Bernard StOltzen.
about ten miles out Of Covington, KY, two
Indian mounds were opened last week and
some remarkable relics were found, which
Mr.. Stoltzen has forwarded to the Smith
sOnian institution Both the mounds were
small, the larger being about feet high at
the center and % feet in circumference, and
the other about feet high and IS feet wide
In both were stone collins The slabs were
roughly blocked out and stood together with
out mortar, and the tops Of the boxes were
number Of irregular pieces of stone Just laid
across. In one were few moldy and crum-
bling bones, human, Of course, and the other
was full Of dust The bones were hardly rec.
ognizable, but one Of them was probably a
femur, and one part Of the pelvis The skull
was quite gone. There was also number Of
stone arrow heads and daggers, and a piece
Of wood-prObably part Of a abow-which had
been wrapped around with some sort Of an
animal thong, and which seemed to be
partially petrified. Two or three rude pieces
Of crockery were found, and several circular
pieces Of polished stone. The stone collins
were pointed very nearly, but not quite, east
and west, There was a good deal of ashes
about and some bits Of charcoal. The graves
were undoubtedly Of mound builders, and
we calculated, chiefly from the size Of a tree
which had evidently grown before one part
of the mound had been made, that the tumuli
were at least 500 years old.-C. F. Finch in
Chicago News.

Love in Bird Life.

What frauds birds ara They are repre-
sented in poetry as sweet, gushing things
rising to greet the morn with melody and
bursting forth in song on the slightest provo
cation. To read bird poetry one might con
slider them the most amiable of Gods crea-
tures when the fact is, according to natural
lists, the majority of singing birds are waspish
and quarrelsome among themselves to O high
degree. They behave worse during their
singing season, which is also their time for
mating, when they are popularly supposed to
be fitting about in the most loving manner,
tenderly beseeching each other to be my
valentine
Those who have made a close study Of
oirds viii tell you that mates are won, not by
love but pitched battles for the most part,
the stronger party carrying of the prize
Some Of the more pugnaeiOus often fight
until they are killed. The females battle fu-
riously for the males, who sit calmly by OBJ.
serving the combat, quite unpFejudiced and
ready to say, May the best bird win" Some
times the conqueror flies of with her dearly
won valentine, only TO meet some superior
female on the way who disputes the prize
and wins it. If the superior female be a
''star" singer in bird opera she probably has
to support her husband until she can get rid
of him and snare anOther.-Texas Siftings

A sulky Engine.


He was the engineer of one Of the biggest
locomotives on the New York and New Ha-
ven road, and as the train stopped at Stam-
ford he jumped out Of his cab and began fuss
ing about his iron steed A little oil here
and little tightening there and all the while
he was talking apparently to the engine It
seemed silly, but inquiry revealed the fact
that he was in dead earnest
"Ill tell you what the trouble is" said he,
as with a grimy hand he patted the glisten-
ing piston rod. "The old girl is balky and
sulky. You may laugh, but I'm telling you
nothing but truth. This is one of the best
engines on the road and one Of the largest,
She isn't but three years old and is as sound
as a dollar will defy any mechanic in the
world to find anything the matter with her
machinery, yet she is not working worth a
cent. The truth is she is sulxy. Last week
she was changed from her regular run to this
one The first two days she behaved all
right, but the last two or three she has been
as nasty as possible.
81 have one Of the best firemen on the road,
the coal is first class, her trains are never
heavy, yet she won't work worth a cent
When I start out the steam is In good shape,
her fires are drawing and everything seema
Just right, but by the time get across the
Harlem she begins to sulk Her steam comes
slowly, the fires don't draw aud she seems all
out Of gear. There is but one thing to do,
and that is to lay her up for a week. She
don't need any tinkering; all she wants is to
be let alone Inside Of a week can run her
out and she'll work as well as ever. Oh, no;
it's not peculiar or uncommon at all. Ask
any locomotive engineer in the country and
hslll tell you the same thing Why, out on
L..
with sulky engine They have been known
TO die on the road between stations An
engine is said 10 die, you know, when her
fires keep getting lower and lower, her steam
gets soggy and weak, and the first thing you
know she's stone cold with her fires out
Then you have to get another engine to pull
her in, for she won't be worth cent until
she has rested awhile" and he climbed into
his cab and rolled out Of the depot with his
Tain and his sulky engine. New York Mail
and Express.

The origin Of the titles "Mr.n and ''Alrs., p
which are now common property, is not
without interest. Il Is thus accounted for by
The Oldham Chronicle:
In earlier times the ordinary man was sim
ply William or John; that is to say, be had
merely Christian name without any kind
Of "handle" before it or surname after it.
Some means Of distinguishing one John or
one William from another John or another
William became necessary.
Nicknames derived from mans trade or
his dwelling place, or from some personal pc
culIarity, were tackled on to their Christian
names, and plain John became John Smith.
As yet there were no minister's" 10 ths land
Some John Smith accumulated more wealth
than the bulk Of his fellows-became, per-
haps, landed proprietor or an employer Of
hired labor. Iaen he began to be called in
the NormaD-French Of the day the ''maistren
Of this place or Of that, Of these workmen or
Of those
In time the "maistren or "maister,n as It
soon became, got tackled on before his name,
and he became Master Smith, and his wife
was Maistress Smith. But gradually the
sense Of possession was lost sight of, and the
title was conferred upon any man who had
attained social distinction Of any kind, by
mere possession Of wealth or by holding soma
position Of more or less consideration and inn
portance.
It is only within comparatively modern
times that the term came to be considered an
almost Indispensable adjunct to every ones
name when mentioned in ordinary converse
tion or writing. Maistress Smith soon be-
came Mistress Smith. Exactly how and
when the term got corrupted cannot be said
Master Smith, however, remained Master
Smith long after his wife became Mistress
Smith.
