Pleasant Evenings nj Homo.

A fondness for music is n great bond
Of union in family, aud it may be de-
veloped in nearly all children. Though
they may not have fine voices, they can
be taught to read music, to sing cor.
reotly, and take great delight in glee
and Chorus singing. And when two
or three musical Instruments are added
to the homo concert, there is no fear
but that tho boys will be content to
stay at home of evenings, whsteyor
tho attractions out of doors. A degree
of facility with pencil and crayon, such
as may be attained by everyone, is an
important aid in many q parlor game.
besides furnishing occupation for idle
hands in hours when social intercourse
is out of the question. But of all no.
complishments, tho most useful, tho
most delightful, and the most cheaply
acquired, is that of reading aloud. Ii
the children are trained from very in
fancy to take pleasure in being read to.
and are taught to read aloud, as we'll,
the family is never without its resource
of pleasure. Pretty ncedle-worls for
the girls, and drawing or whiting for
the boys. with book to be taken in
turn, will make the longest and s;ormi-
est evening season of delight.

Young's collection there nrc some rare
and valuable specimens. The pestles arc
found In almost every conceivable shape,
nno III great many varieties of stone,
but the best and most used are made from
granite. One of the most perfect which
has been found was dug out of mound
in Bourbon County. 1t has fiat base,
twelve inches around and four inches
across. The handle is ten inches long,
and at the point where the hand grasps
it it is six inches round, tapering to n
sharp point. One of the most ingeni-
ously shaped mortars was found in q
stream in Western Kentucky 1t is
made of granite. 1t is ten inches long
and seven inches wide, and the depression
IN which the corn was ground is two
inches deep. The sides are carved so
that it could be held between the knees
securely. Some of them are found made
of thin stone, with cavities or both sides.
These were supposed TO have been used
for grinding two kinds of peppers, roots
OIL. seeds, when they did not want to get
the ilavors mixed.
1t is estimated that an energetic
Indian, or mound builder, could make
from four to five axes or spcar-heads, in
n year, it requiring Il much longer time
to shape pestle or II pipe. A pipe has
been found OF such wonderful workman
ship that it is believed by specialists that

WHAT a MAGAZINE COSTA very
good idea OF the amount of money ii
costs to successfully conduct one of the
magazines of to-day isnp;ly illustra ted
i'll some figures regarding the editorial
cost of "rhe Ladies' Home Journal Of
this city, says the Philadelphia "Pub.
lie Ledger" The "Journal" is edited
by Mr.. Edward Box. For shaping the
thoughts of his 100000 women readers
each month Mr.. Box is paid $4,000
per year, and has an interest in the
business besides which nets him fully
twice his salary. He has staff of
sixteen salaricd editors, which includes
men and women like Rev. DR., Talmage,
Robert j. Burdcttc, Palmer Cox, Mar
garet Botteme, Isabel Mallon and Maria
Parloa. The combined salaries of
these editors exceed $4,000 q year.
The journal" spends cash month 3d.
900, or about $25 900 per year on mis-
ccllaneous matter not contributed by
its regular editors, and the working
force in the editorial department means
at least $4,000 more in salaries, max
ing over 100000 year, and this repre-
sents buta single department of the
magazine; and 1 question whether any
periodical is conducted on more

AS tribes camped and decamped, and
mound builders moved from hill to hill
and Territory to Territory, each lief: wit
ncsses of its life and relics of its customs.
1t is only within the past few years that
the historian has turned to these dumb
witnesses for facts and traced the history
of tribe by the special implements it
used. From the fact that axes, arrow
heads and pipes, made of granite belong
ing exclusively to Wisconsin, are found
along the borders of the Licking River,
prove conclusively that the Northwestern
tribes at one time or another passed over
the lard of "Kantucllee. There are
several good collections of Indian relics
in the State, but the finest is that owned
by Colonel Bennett II. Young. 1t is
made up conclusively of nipple ments
found within the borders of the State,
and is composed of over Is, 600 pieces.
The must common implement
among the Indians was the axe, and
more of them, with the exception of the
arrowheads, remain than any other i'm
plement known to them. There have
been only two different types Of axes
found in this State, but each type has
such marked peculiarities rs to show
that each had its own special function in
the daily life of the Indian, and was used
for entirely different purposes. The
shapes or the axes seemed to have been
conventionalized, and were common to
all tribes, but the stone from which they
are made denotes the part of the country
in which they were cut and the character
of the Indians that made them. The
axes, which were made of Kentucky
stone and by the local tribes are found
in more perfect state along the borders
OF streams. AS rule, those in the in
terror are smaller in size and of rourhcr
finish. When axes of foreign tribes are
found they can be traced from one sec
ton of the State to another with uni
form system, showing that the tribes
from the sea entered in regular paths.
The superstition is that many tribes
whose implements are found came into
the interior Tor salt. Axes and pipes are
found made of the Wisconsin granite,
showing clearly that the Sacs and Foxes
OF that Territory once campcd in this
State, or else that the tribes interchaugcd
their commodities for use, either in war
or peace.
In Colonel Youn9's collection there
are over 400 axes and no two arc of the
same shape, showing that each Indian
must have been his own axe maker.

THE STONE AGE.
KENTUCKY RICH IN pRERIS-
TORIO REMAINS.
Various Implements OF War and Do
mestic Use Found-Evidence of
the Ingenuity and Skill of tho
Primitive Inhabitants.

Kentucky, it is said, is more prolific
in Indian relics than any other State in
the Union, though it was inhabited by
the redskins us little US any of her sister
States or Territories. The land, how
ever, which is now comprised in the
border of tho State, says the Courier
Journal, seems to have been common
camping ground Tor tribes in their wan
behring's from the North to the South and
from the East to the West. That it was
common hunting ground there is no
doubt, and its territory was constantly
turned into battle field for the warning
tribes. From the battles fought on its
hills and the dread marches on the rivers
borders it came to be known as dark
and bloody ground, whose waters were
red with blood and whole forests were
filled with angry spirits.

The axe was used chiefly by the In.
dians In building their "dug outs" or
canoes. They charred the wood and
then dug it out with their axes. One
axe found at the birthplace of Abraham
Lincoln, fifty years ago, is made SEEM
ingly OF red stone, which seems perme-
ated with red ochre, aud marks like red
lead pencil. There is considerable specu-
lation as to what the three-ounce axes
were used for, aud the latest theory is
that they were either made by children,
or for the Indian children, by tho
squaws, as toys. The work on them is
OF much more fine quality than that
on the larger ones, aud they are invari-
ably made of flint. In the collection
are two axes, one of which was found
in Davies County and the other in Muh-
lenburg, that have undergone some
chemical change, and are rs light as
cork. One of these axes which has lost
its weight Is peculiar in shape and per-
fectly smooth in finish. The axes were
made with flint Instruments, some of
which have been found, but very few of
them remain in the whole state. Tho
most peculiar specimens extaut in this
State, and which are in Colonel Young's
collection, are two, found in Wolfe and
Madison Counties. They seemed to have
been cut from soft sandstone, aud COW
cred with brown enamel. There is
another theory which is more generally
accepted to be correct, however, which
is that they laid so long in a chalybeate
stream as to become impregnated with
iron.
The next implement In importance to
the axe was the "hesher," or what is
technically termed as celt, an implement
used in skinning buffalo aud other ami
mails which were killed during the hunt.
They were also used in rubbing the skins
while being tanned. The ''neshcrs" arc
made principally from green granite or
dint and rarely from limestone.
Next to building the canoes and skim

grinding his maize and corn was of chief

Those which have been found in this
State are made principally of granite,
some of gray limestone and some OF
sandstone. Those made of sandstone
were used exclusively for war
implements. There are two types
of axes, the groove and the grooveless axe.
What is known as the grooved axe has a
slot cut all around it, in which the sap
pling was placed and tied with fresh raw
hides. In this way they made their axe
handles. The groove.ess axe is made
without tho depression on the sides.
There are two remarkable specimens of
these axes, and both were found in adj
joining counties. The grooved axe was
dug out of mine in Boone County. The
groove is one and one-half inches in
width and passes almost entirely around
the axe. The axe itself is twelve inches
in length, twelve inches round the CEN
tire, and ten inches around the portion in
which the groove is cut. The ungrooved
axe belongs to an earlier period, and
shows total lack of polish. 1t is fiat
mt one end and broadens out toward the
edge. Some of them are made wit
great cure, both in selection of stone an
IN the style of edge us in shape of tho
axe. Most of them are made round at
the top, about one IN every hundred
found being square. The axes used in
war wero made with dull edge, while
those for domestic purposes were made
much sharper, with an edge sufficient tc
cut wood. The battle-axe is generally
found round. Some of them have double
heads, the upper part having cone-like
projection to it. These were used ex-
clusively for war.
