An Old Indian Workshop.

The geological survey, through Profess
sor w. II. Holmes, has recently made
some most important discoveries of III
dian relics just west of Washington, on
what is known as Piney Branch hill. The
find appears to be the remains of an
Indian workshop for the manufacture of
implements, weapons, etc. The spot has
been excavated and implements have
been found clear to the bed rock. The
discovery is considered to be of the great
est Importance by archaologists. 1t car
ries our knowledge of the ancient inlab-
itants of this locality much further back
than any previous discoveries.
These Clipped stone implements found,
it is said, go back to the paleolithic age
and show the country to have been in
habited at a much earlier period than
has been generally supposed. Imple-
ments of this class have never before
been found except upon the surface, and
it has always been a question among
scientists as to what they referred. These
instruments discovered by the survey
bear marked resemblance to instru-
ments found in France, which have been
referred to the same ancient period of
the worlds existence. Mr.. Holmes will
announce and discuss his discovery in q
paper to be read before the Anthropoiog-
ical society.-Washington Star

Tho Erratic st. Lawrence.

"The st. Lawrence river" said Clay
ton member of the Cogburn club last
evening, sis most erratic as well as
beautiful body of water. You have prob
ably noticed several items in the news
papers Of vessels sailing on it running
aground because of low water. Just
think of it-low water with the almost
continuous rains we have had the past
spring, summer and fall! But such is
the fact And in some other generally
dry seasons the st. Lawrence has been
unusually high. 1t is said that the grand
old river has one of those low spells
sinking fits, SO to speak-every seven
years, but l can't vouch for the truth of
that. The fact remains, however, that
it is unlike any other body of water 1
know Of, and when other streams and
neighboring lakes are high the st. Law
renee sapt to make a contrary showing"

A Present That WASN'T Made.

In a certain family, as the Christmas
season came around, it was resolved to
try an experiment. Every member of
the family wrote out list of the Christ
mas presents that he or she would like to
get, and hung it on the chimney piece
for the guidance of those who were going
to make gifts. 1t was rather convenient
and nice all around. But young man
of the family conceived the idea of
throwing q little humor into the list of
things he wanted, and among the other
articles he put down as desirable Christ
mas presents for himself he included
"The Tail of Roberto" Now Roberto
was the name of cat that lived in the
house; and the young man could not pos
sibly have his cats tail for present, be-
cause it was bobtailed. 1t was a fairly
good joke; but it happened that mem
Der of the family, who wasn't very good
at photography, took this entry for the
name of q book, and, having partiality
for the young man, started off on tour
through the book stores in search of it..
"Have you THE Tail of Roberto? she
asked, at very large and entirely first
class store. The bookseller scratched his
head for moment, and made answer:
"No; we haven't it in stock just now, but
we can send and get it for you. '-Bos-

Too Much Study had.

DR.. o. Sprague Paine, of New York,
has made speciality of studying the
brain. This is what he says:
"Men very often die from overwork,
especially brain workers. Many men
study day and night and work day and
night almost, and so overtax their brains
that they become mentally and physical
ly incapable of performing their proper
work, and eventually break down alto
gether under the mental strain. These
then have to rest, and great care has to
be taken in order that they may fully re-
gain their health. In many cases they
have broken down SO completely that as
long as they live they are mere wrecks
of their former selves, and in many cases
they fail to recover at ALL, A great many
are troubled with sleeplessncss and fail
to pay any attention to this, thinking
that it is nothing at all. This is really
very serious and dangerous condition to
be in. Persons who can't sleep can't
rest properly. Eventually the brain will
wear out. 1t is absolutely impossible to
keep well without sleep. Men must
have sleep, or else suffer for it, and the
first organ of the body that will suffer
will be tho brain. Unless the brain is
properly rested the patient will break
down and perhaps become insane."-

A Historic Mark.

An order has been passed by the trus-
tees of this city which, if carried into cf-
feet, as we believe it will be, will work
the demolition of all that remains of the
buildings that once stood within the pail
sades of Suffers fort. The order directs
that the streets be opened through the
property. Not only will the last remain
ing relic of the historic spot be thus oblit-
Grated, since a street line cuts through it,
but the plat will be divided into small
parcels andits identity lost to history and
to human interest. The owner of the
property is nonresident of the city; he
derives no rental from it, unless a meager
pasturage pays him small sum, and he
will not sell to those who wish to restore
the fort and convert the plat into park
If all appeals to the owner fail, if lie re-
mains deaf to the hundreds of requests
that have been made, and still refuses
to name his price, we propose when the
streets are cut through, that at the inter-
section of the highways there shall be
planted simple enduring stone to mark
the spot where John A. Sutter raised the
American flag and gave shelter to the
early pioneers of California. And that
on the stone there be inscribed the fact
that u certain citizen of Chicago-naming
him-stubbornly refused to sell the his
toric spot to the people for reserve at
any price.-Sacramento Record Union.

Liberty statue Up,ustlv ,1alirned

At the recent congress of the 'Amcri-
can Ornithologists' union, Jonathan
Dwight, Jr., did a public service i'll
reading paper OH "Birds That Have
Struck the Statue of Liberty, New York
Harbor." Considerable uneasiness has
been felt for some time on the subject
of the sacrifice of migratory birds to the
Turing brilliancy of the Liberty and
other lights, and many exaggerated
statements have been made in the
papers. All alarm, however, is now dis
sipated by the fact, which Mr.. Dwight
places on record, that the whole number
of birds killed this year at the statue of
Liberty is 900, which is considerably less
than last year. Of the dead birds picked
up this year 60 per cent. belonged to
one species, the Maryland yellow
throats.-New York Commercial Ad-
