INDIAN BURIAL PLACE.
Interesting Discovery Made liz the Vicinity
of ROmney, W. Wa.

Interesting Discovery Made ii the Vicinity
of KOmney, w. Va.
About ten days ago | again visited
the Indian graves near Romney, W.
Va 1t seems that ashes played an
important part in the burial ceremony,
as ! found from half peck to five
bushels of ashes in each grave. The
method of burial, so far as can judge
from careful examination. was fol-
lows: They dug or scooped out Il hole
from one to five feet deep by two feet
wide and three feet long in the hard.
stiff clay. which underlies a covering
of two feel of soft, sandy loan. These
holes were filled with ashes and Gin
ders, among which were parts of the
skull and horns Of deer and bones OF
other animals. though they showed no
signs of being burned or charred. On
top of these ashes the body was
placed and then covered with sandy
loan.
At the bottom of one of these graves
we found a pot made of clay. about
twenty-five inches in diameter by nine
inches deep. the sides of which were
of elaborate ornamentation, the prin-
cipal being a carved face about every
six inches around the top. In the po
was the upper shell of turtle, the
jaw bone of squirrel and seyera
clam shells-evidences oSAfood placed
in the grave for use in the journey to
the happy hunting grounds. :"
The pottery consisted of three kind
yellow brown and black. The first
had hut little ornamentation; the sec
ond was ornamented to some extent,
but the last was the Royal Worcester
of II~ian art production, and was
without doubt. placed in the graves OF
those only who were greatly distin-
guished
Among the articles found was
knife made Of copper roughly beaten
out. The blade was five inches long
bv one and One-fourth inches broad
and it's dull. sandstOne-sharpened edge
must have required strong muscular
exertion on the part of the operator to
remove the scalp of his dead enemy.
The graves are scattered over
space OF about ten acres. and are on
what is called the Island Farm. which
consists OF about ninety acres. The
owner thinks the entire island was
burying ground. Washington Star.

ABOUT CHRYSANTHEMUMS.
Some Points Regarding the FavOrite
Flower of the Autumn.

Some Points Regarding the FavOrite
Flower of the Autumn.
Undoubtedly the chrysanthemum is
the most popular flower of its season
the queen of the autumn, orchids
not even excepted-and some facts
about them not generally known are
OF interest.
The original chrysanthemum was in
ttoduced into Europe from China
but it was not until about twenty years
ago that the singular and fantastic
varieties were imported. These in the
hands of the Western florists have in
creased with wonderful rapidity. and
now form the largest and most pOpu-
lar. if not the handsomest section.
Their striking individuality. huge
blooms. quaint and varied forms, and
great diversity of color, ranging from
pure white to deep crimson, with in
termediary soft and subdued tints,
render them especial favOrites.
The annual increased attendance at
the exhibition of chrysanthemums
proves the interest taken in their cul-
tiyation. New varieties are carefully
examined. notes taken of them and
points of excellence are keenly criti
cised by the numerous visitors. Sew
eral new varieties displayed this year
will be eagerly sought by connoisseurs
desirOus of keeping their collections
in the first rank of merit
The cultivation of the chrysanthe-
mum is easy, as it is hardy plant.
They are raised every year from cut
tings or, better still. young suckers
thrown up direct from the root in the
autumn. These should be taken imme-
diately after or while the plants are in
bloom. to secure as long a growing
season as possible, and placed in bed
of light sandy soil in cold frame.
They will soon strike without arti-
fetal heat, but the ames must be pro-
tected from frost with mats and sack
ing. Until they are fairly rooted they
require but little ventilation. About
the middle of March they should be
pOtted and kept protected until the
lst of May. When the roots are found
to have filled the pots they should be
transferred to larger ones. In pOtting
care must be taken to press the new
soil firmly around the old bail, for in
firm pOtting lies one of the essential
adjuncts of future success. Chrysan
themums require much water. All
shoots should be removed and injury
from mildew be avoided. The flowers
exhibited are rarely put on show di-
rect from the plant. All blooms re-
quire more or less dressing. Irregular
petals should be put straight with a
pair of tweezerS and i'm erfect ones re-
moved. Sometimes the center petals
of fine bloom are not sufficiently
grown to give the even and regular
form required. This can be remedied
a few days before exhibition by draw
ing the bloom through a teacup Or
flower pot from which the bottom has
been knocked out. and laying piec,
of glass over the top. thus bringing
the center petals up to the light Oi
varieties there are the incurved. the
rehexed, the Japanese anemOnes and
pompons. and many different kinds in
each yariety.-N. Y. Mail and Ex-

ODD BOOK TITLES.
Lots of Interesting Facts in the History oi
First Pages.

Lots of Interesting Facts in the History OF
First Pages.
A magazine writer has just begun to
write The History of the Title Page.
1t may seem a small subject, but it is
an interesting one. 1t has also very
marked bearing on the history of liter
;.ture. Involved in it we find the ques-
lions of titles, new, borrowed or i'm
itated; of authorship, real or assumed;
of dates, accurate, inaccurate or abb
sent nltogethe~. In the mere arrange
ment of type on the title-page, not
much variety is to be looked for
Some originality in that respect is
shown now and then by publishers
with taste and fancy, but it is obvious
that not much novelty is feasible.
Every now and then we have the
name of the author at the top of the
page, instead of in the middle, after
the French fashion; the effectis quaint,
and pleases. Now and again the title
of the book starts at the left-hand top
corner, and is run on like sentence
till finished instead OF being divided
and spread out over the page in ortho-
dox style. But when all has been done
that can be done in this and other
directions, the present-day publisher
soon discovers that the variations are
by no means endless.
The only device which has not OF
late been greatly exploited is that OF
the Illustrated title-page, with its broad
margin Of artistic design inclosing the
smalles: poss,ole amount of type. This
used 70 bs very popular. London
