Kino of the Mound Builders.

Warren K. Morehead and Doctor Cres-
son, who have been prosecuting excava-
tons at Chillicothe, Ohio, for the past
three months in the interest OF the
Worlds Fair, have just made one of
the richest finds of the century in the
way of prehistoric remains. These
gentlemen have confined their excava-
tons to the Hopewell farm, upon which
are located twenty Indian mounds.
Saturday they were at work on a
mound 500 feet in length, 200 feet wide
and twenty-three feet in height. At the
depth of fourteen feet, near the centre
of the mound, they exhumed the mas
sive skeleton OF man, which was III
cased in copper armOr. The head was
covered by an oval-sAaped copper cap.
The jaws had copper mouldings and the
arms were dressed in copper. Copper
plates covered the chest aud stomach.
GA each side OF the head, on protrudiug
sticks, were wooden antlers, ornamentei
with copper. The mouth was stuffed
with genuine pearls of i'm usnse size,
but much decayed By tho ravages of
time. Around the neck was necklace
of bears teeth set with pearls.
By the side of the male skeleton was
also found female skeleton, the two
being supposed to be man and wife. 1t
is estimated that the bodies were buried
where they were found fully 6OJ years
ago. Messrs. Morehead and Cresson
consider this find one of the most i'm
portant they have yet made, and believe
they have at last found the King of the
mound builders. Besides the articles
named above there were found pearl
studded sceptre, many jars containing
corn, ETC.; bronze and stone implements
and ornaments, evidences of ashes and
bones of aulmals. There are indications
that the adjacent soil is full of valuable
articles. The finders are rejoiced at this
find, and there is great excitement aud

TIE CULTURE OF THE SQUASH.

The manner of growth Of the gOurd
family, to which the squash, melon and
cucumber all belong, is suca that a
special mode of culture is required to
produce a full yield OF fruit. This
popularity is that the vine, if left alone,
will throw out long main stem aud only
few side stems. The main stem pro-
duces mostly male blossoms and the
female or fruit-producing flowers are
borne on the side shoots. Thus, unless
the main stem be shortened and the side
ones encouraged, there will be a small
crop of fruit; and, as this was your
dilemma, it is probable the main stem
was not checked in its usually luxuriaut
growth. This plant and Others OF the
family should be grown in hills from
four to eight feet apar: to afford room
for a stocky growth, and the main stem
should be confined by pinchiug to these
limits, and the plot is thus filed IN with
side shoots. Then, with good manuring
and clean culture, the ground may be
covered with fruit-NeW York Times.

One would hardly expect to flnd

that was made before the first English

thing actually exists, and Is In daily

1t Is a bell, and las an interesting
history. Around the bell, about four
inches from the crown, is this super
scr!ption: peter Secest, Amsterdam,

The date, together with other we'll
authenticated facts, leads to the be-
lief that the bell was long used in q
convent belfry in England, and was
taken therefrom for public use dur
ing the Reformation. But the con-
Meeting link between It's life in the
old world and its advent to America
Is the famous naval battle between
the Guerrero and the Constitution
The Guerrero, a helpless wreck,
was rolling in the trough Of the sea,
while har brave but defeated com.
mander, Capt. Dacres, OF the Royal
Navy, on the deck Of the American
frigate, the Constitution, was offering
his sword to the gallant Capt. Hull.
The two heroes had been friends In
time of peace, having often exchanged
hospitalities at the Mediterranean
ports, and now Hull's magnanlmity
shOne out.
"No, no, Dacres," he said, Ill not
take your sword. Keep it,
In the meanwhile the boats OF the
Constitution were busily engaged in
transporting the crew Of the defeated
ship to the deck Of the victor. A
midshipman reported to the first lieu
tenant that the ships bell had been
carried away by grape-shot from the
Guerrero, and that there was no way
Of announcing the time to the ships
company.
At that moment the Guerrero gave
a succession Of heavy plunges, and the
clear tones Of fine bell rang out over
the water.
There you have it," Lieut.. Wads-
worth said to the midshipman. go
get the Englishman's bell; there will
be no further use for it on board that

The Guerrero surrendered at :
o'clock in the evening OF the 10th OF
August, 1912, and at s o'clock that
same evening Peter Scctst'S bell, in
sonorous tones, rang out the hour en-
board "Old IrOnsideS."
1t was Immediately pronounced a
success, and a decided improvement
over its predecessor, and at once be.

With the lapse Of time, the bell,

10 CLEAN SADDLES.

To clean a saddle take good clean,
deorderized tenzine, about seventy-6ve
gravity, and thoroughly wash the saddle
in it; don't hesitate TO put considerable
elbow grease along with it, it will take
considerable rubbing. Use plenty OF
soft rags, they soon get dirty as the dirt
rubs out OF the leather, so you will have
to use plenty of them. On the bucksSln
rub fine pipe-clay, which will absorb and
dry out the dirt and stains. II the hog
skin has lost its color, or you wish to
make it look nice and new, brush it over
lightly with an extract made from the
best English saffron. Anyone will find
that oxalic acid, dissolved in soft water,
will clean fair or russell leather very
nicely. Rub on with a piece OF white
cotton rag. 1t is not good for sore
hands, or to use as beverage. --Horss

Window In Tennessee.


Window In Tennessee.
The resignation of Senator Reagan,
Of Texas, recalls a story Of how he
CHANGED TO remove TO the State that
ia now his home, and which has so
signally honored him. He was living
in Sevler County, Tennessee, in 1889,
ana was sent by his father to a grist
mill to have sack Of wheat convert
ed into -four. He was a big, raw
boned, strapping country boy.
According to custom, he hitched
his horse at the mill, took the sack OF
grain from the shoulders Of the ami
NAL, placed 1t on his own shoulders
and totcd ii up three fights Of stairs,
and took his place in the line, as peo-
pie are wont to do still at country
postoflces, waiting for his turn to
have his wheat ground. Half an
hour or so after Reagan arrived at
the mill well-known local character
came, bringing sack Of wheat to be
ground also. This last character was
a local terror, fond Of brawls and
fighting, and In the habit OF having
his own way.
He had to take his place in line
with the rest, but when it got to be
Reagan's turn to have his grain
ground "the terror said;
"See here, Reagan, | am in a hurry.
You let me get in your place and YOU
come back here where l am"
Reagan demurred, stating that he
was in a hurry too; that he was en-
titled to his place, and meant to
keep it. This angered the brawler.
He cursed young Reagan, and said
he would fling him out through the
window, and, suiting the action TO
the word, made a rush for the future

desperate, and, in fear Of his life,
rushed for him, met the desperate
half way, butted him in the stomach
with his head, and literally lifted him
off his feet and threw him through
the window.
When the desperate disappeared
through the window the consequence
of his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind He instantly supposed that
he had killed a man, that he would
be hanged for It, and, scared almost
to death, he rushed down stairs, I'M

Hannibal and Sherman.

A writer draws comparison be-
tween Hannibal, the famos Caitha.
ginian general, and the late William
Tecumseh Sherman. The two men
had the same sort Of temperament,
and, If we may trust the ancient de-
scriptions, they resembled one an
other in physical stature not less than
In the thOroughness OF their military
education. Hannibal was the first
man TO depart from the battle tactics
which were the method Of lighting
adopted by Alexander. He had
methods Of his own, and his success,
until the Romans had learned from
him how to use his own weapons, was
due to the same qualities which dis
tinguished the military services OF
Gen. Sherman. He gained his first
and last victories by the use Of STRAIT
egg. He did the unexpected thing.
All his career was the doing Of things
that nobody else did, and throughout
the late civil war Gen. Sherman was
the man who constantly improved
upon military rules by methods Of his
own. The passage Of the Alps by
Hannibal was not more wonderful in
his day than the operations which
Sherman planned and executed in his
march TO Chattanooga, and his gigan-
tic conception Of an invasion Of Italy
has its parallel in Gen. Sherman's
plan OF the march TO the sea and the
support Of his army by levying con-
tributions upon the people through
whose homes he was passing. The
American general did not stay for
sixteen years in the country Of his
enemies, as Hannibal did, and COM
pei subjugated provinces to support
him, but be could have done 1t as
easily as the Carthaginian did if the
same occasion had existed. There
was in our Sherman the same insight
into the conditions OF war, the same
comprehension OF the vital point at
issue, the same swift reading Of men,
The same power OF control, and tho
same ability to keep his own counsel.

WATERING THE HENS IN WINTER.

WATERING THE HENS IN WINTER.
Unless the hens can have plenty oft,
they cannot produce eggs. In the win
ter season, when the drinking vessels
become frozen up with ice and are liable
to crack from cold, the matter of provid
ing water becomes a difficulty. We all
know that a cold draught Of water in
winter chills the body, as it must be
warmed By the body after it Is drink;
consequently, water causes loss of
bodily heat. AS the heat is produced
from the food all losses of heat are losses
of food. Now,it is just as easy to water
the hens at regular hours as it is to water
the large stock, and the best mode of so
doing is 10 use wooden troughs long
enough to allow all the hens TO drink at
the same time. Early in the morning,
at noon and before night Gil the troughs
with warm water, allow the hens 10
drink until all are satisfied, and then
throw out the water that remains. In
this manner the troughs will be kept
clean, the hens will Learn to drink at reg
ular periods, and the warm water will
invigorate them. In fact, nothing is so
invigorating,or will assist in warding of
the cold when the hens come of the
roost in the morning, with the Their
mometer below zero, than a drink of
