Varieties of Flax.

There is but one species of flax cult
waited for its fibre, but Of this there are
several varieties, usually taking their
names from the country or district where
most extensively cultivated. Thus we
have tho Russia fax, Riga flax, Dutch
flax, &c; but, however much they may
differ from one another in growth and
amount and quality of their produce,
they I'LL, when grown few years under
the same conditions, become so complete
" assiniluted to one another as very
strikingly to oyince their specific identi-
ty. In other words, all revert to tho or
iginal or typical form or species. There
is white Towering variety, and one
with an oyal-shaped seed pod, and still
another known Us the tall growing, the
stems being very tall und slender, but II
is not probable that any of these would
prove to he any more valuable for cult
yation in Minnesota or other Northwest
ern States than the common variety
now i'll general cultivation i'll this coun-
try. Whuth we will be able to raise
flax fibre in this country equal i'll quality
and as chcaply us it is done in European
countries is question to DO answered
by experience. We have cheap and rich
lands, but not the long experience
iu flax culture possessed by European
countries. II New York Sun.

The FIRST Western Steamboat,

The first steamboat on Western waters,
said the late J. b. II. Latrobc before tho
Maryland Historical Society, was the
New Orleans, which was built at and
started from Pittsburg, Penn, in Sep
TENDER, 1911, and reached the city OF
New Orleans in October of the same year.
This boat was built from the designs OF
Robert Fulton by Nicholas J. Roosevelt,
who was associated in this enterprise
with Fulton and Chancellor Livingston.
Tho New Orleans was 116 feet long
twenty feet beam. and had an engine with
thirtv-four inch cylinder. The second
and third steamboats, built for this service
were the Nesuvius and the Ltna land the
fourth boat, the Buffalo, was built under
the direction Of b. II. Latrobe, ST. the

An Ancient American Idol.

The State Historical Society was On
richod yesterday by an image Of pottery
supposed to be on idol of somo prehis-
toric race, probably the mound builders.
The idol was found near Aron, 1ndepen-
dcnce County, Ark, and was dug from
a mound by relic hunters along with u
number of decayed human bones, copper
arrow heads and broken domestic uten-
sis. 1t is the property Of G. w. Hume,
of Strasburg, Mo. The idol is seven
inches IN height by five inches in diane
ter. 1t is rudcly constructed, having evil
IDENTIFY been formed by hand or at best
ynrv crude tools, from common c!av, and
afterwards hardened by being dried in
the sun.
The idol represents Il human figure
in kneeling posture, the arms extend
ing at the side The features are rude
ly formed, yet, notwithstanding this, are
not altogether rcpulsive, the nose being
gracefully aquiline and the lips we'll
formed. The ears are missing, but the
remnants show that they were adorned
with rings. The body is squatty, und
might be said to resemble toad. At
the top Of the head there is q hole which
seems to have served o purpose, proba-
bly, that of fastening hoaddress to the
figure. The image would hardly be Gotta
logued with the works of art, but it is
nevertheless an interesting relic.
The race whose deity was represented
by this clumsy bit of clay inhabited the
Mississippi Valley from the great lakes
to the Gulf at time to which the ira
ditions Of man runneth not. Who they
were, where they came from, what their
manner Of life was is all mystery.
True, many mounds, excavations and
burying grounds of this lost people have
been discovered, but so far they have
given but little of their history. That
they lived and died before the race of
American Indians existed is proved by
the fact that the traditions Of the latter
race contain no reference to this lost peo-
pie, although their mounds and relics are
mentioned. Many mounds Of this kind
are found in Missouri, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana, and
a few have been discovered in nearly all
Of the States of the Mississippi Valley.

years. Near to the old fort is GEM

Mrs. Charles ID. Haines of Kinder
hook, N. Y, enjoys the distinction Of
being the only woman in the United
States who is president Of a railway.
She is the executive head Of the
Hamilton and Kingston Railroad, and
was until recently President of the
Haines Valley Railroad in Texas.
Mrs. Haines is only about thirty years
old and is Of very progressing ap-
psarance. She attends personally to
the managing of the road of which
she is the head and understands the
business thoroughly, even in its minor
details. But perhaps some part of her
success is due to the fact that her
husband is practical railroad
builder.

How Fitzpatrick Drove.

A farmer Of our acquaintance was
once driving down the steep approach to
a country bridge, when the late General
Fitzpatrick dashed around a bend in tho
road and on to the bridge with his spiri-
ted trotter under full Roadway on his
way to catch a train. There was barely
room to pass, but before the farmer could
more than twist his horses head to ono
side the General, with q CHEEKY GOOD
morning. had shot forward, the hub
bands of his buggy just grazing those of
the farmers. 1t seemed almost impossi-
bic that an ordinary vehicle could bo
safely steered through so marrow a space,
and an examination afterward showed
that the wheels on the outer side had
gone within an inch of the edge OF the
high and unprotected abutment wall.
The characterization Of the width of q
wagon tire would have meant disaster.
But this was not foolhardy rocklessness
on the part of the General. With his
characteristic quickncss of decision, he
l'had calculated that there was ust room
to pass, and through he went. The
slightest wavcring would have made q
wreck on one side or the other, or per-
haps both But he was not the man to
wabble His eye was true, his hand
steady, his head level, and an inch on
an abutmcnt wall was as safe for him as
yard for timid man. Philadelphia

In Europe there are several million

pruduce nothing by their labor. They
represent so many unemployed men,
and for whom in the ranks Of labor
there is no place. Figure up the re-

If those great armies, said to be five
millions of men, were suddenly dis
banded and turned loose to seek their

Consumers of imported mineral
waters will be surprised, and perhaps
annoyed, to learn that the famous
iodine spring Of the Kaiser Spring
Company, near Munchen, Germany, is
fake pure and simple. An enter
prising engineer bought piece of

water into picturesque rocky we'll,
treated it freely with chemicals and
discovered an iodine spring. Experts
were called in and tested the water,
grand advertisements were written up,

swarmed to the healing fountain, and

not less than twelve years more to erect
