PREHISTORIC RACES.
Interesting Researches by DIR. Porter, o
the Smithsonian Institute

Interesting Researches by DIR. Porter, OF
the Smithsonian Institute.
DR.. j. H. Porter, of the Smithsonian
Institution, and a party of scientists
have been making researches into the
archaeology of the curious walls and
| stones uncovered near Cleveland, Tenn.
81 believe said Dr. Porter, that
Tennessee holds the best evidence of a
prehistoric race to be found in the
world Three places have attracted nv
attention, and will kill all doubt in the
skeptical mind. One was the mound on
Jolly Islaud, at the confluence of the
Hiawassee and Tennessee rivers It is
temple mound, built with accurate
mathematical precision, undoubtedly
erected by the Toltecs, a civilized race
OF Indians who lived here prior to the
Aztecs- The next place was the
cyclopian wall on Fort Mountain, in
Murray county, Georgia. This wall is
erected on the top of the Appalachian
chain OF mountains at least 5000 feet
above the surrounding country.
This peak is like Lookout Mountain
in appearance. 1t juts out boldly from
the main system of the mountain. and
is very precipitous on the east, north
and west, and on the south side there
is wall built to inclose the lofty ton,
which comprises one hundred acres.
The wall built across the mountain in
this way is about fifteen hundred feet
long, with many angles and curves to
command every approach.
This wall was at least five feet thick
and six feet high The general idea is
that this fortress was built by De Soto
in his wanderings through Georgia as
fortress Of defense to corral his horses
and cattle. This is not true, however,
and ! will give you three reasons for
saying this De Soto would and never
could have built it when a wooden
stockade would have answered De
Soto never had enough men to man the
fort, and it is not built according to
the civil engineering of De Soto's time.
My idea is that it was built for place
of worship.
THE third point Of interest is the IA
nous wall covered with hieroglyphics
found near the Tennessee river, close to
Cleveland. This is no wall at all. 1t is
simply stratum of sandstone thrown I'D
to its almost vertical position from
level by great upheavals. The rocks
were placed in their upright position
when the surrounding hills were formed.
Every formation and qualification
shows that man could not have built
such wall The characters, however,
were formed by man, and that, too, be-
fore the hills were made. The charac-
tiers are on futed stones, and only on
the raised portions of the stones. They
are in straight lines as regards each
other and run diagonally."- Chicago

But with the true student of the sci
ence of leisure all this is different He
is idle because that is the way he can
best enjoy life; it gives him time to look
about him and see the good things in
the world. The pleasures of life, as
tested by his trained palate, are neither
Scotch whisky or nepenthe; they have
only the effect of a mild, light wine.
such as, no doubt, St. Paul referred to.
To the busy man pleasure comes in
doses He knows it is coming and what
time he will have to take it, and con-
sequently prepares himSelf For The
brief period necessary he ungears him
self from the wheel of the perpetually
moving business world and plunges into
pleasures like boy into a swimming
hole in the early springtime when the
water is cold-it's best to go in all at
once, he doesn't feel it so much Once
in, he does what no man should ever
do he makes business of pleasure for
the time. He gets filed up, intoxicated
with it, and thinks he has a splendid
time But he is like the old collegian
who plays foot ball several years after
he has received his diploma; he has lots
of fun while the excitement is on, but
the next day he is very sore.
Be busy if you mnst-if either neces-
sity or temperament demands it-but if
you are going to do nothing give your
self ample time to do it in. -Indianapo-

HINTS TO SlEEPERS.
Something About Position, Bed Coverings
and Bedsteads.


There has been considerable discus
sion as to what is the best position to
lie in, in sleep. Most physicians will
tell you that it is on the right side, but
here no definite direction can be given
A weakness of the lungs may cause
the sleepers to rest more comfortably
on the left side. Again, in depressing
illnesses, the patient usually lies fat ON
his back, and this position seems, in
general, to contribute the greatest
amount of rest to the muscles yet few
people would find it comfortable to
sleep in this position. A position which
has been advocated with considerable
show of reason is that of lying fiat on
the face. All these positions have been
advocated, and probably no healthful
person sleeps altogether in either one
of them, but varies his position to all of
them during his resting hours
The best bed coverings are light
wooden blankets The impervious cot
ton comfortables so much used are the
most unwholesome OF any covering. A
hair mattress, as is conceded now, il
the very best bed, and single mattress
with a set of good springs is all-suffi-
cient Where there are two mattresses
over the springs Trey are not as likely
TO be well aired, and therefore are more
likely to retain the exhalations of sleep
A good hair bolster is the most whole
some head rest but many persons pre-
fer feather bolster. because they are
not used to it. Sleeping with number
of pillows under the head is certainly
injurious as it tends to raise the head
into a cramped, unnatural position.
The fashion of double beds is one
greatly to be deprecated and two single
beds placed side by side are taking
their place in many cases So high an
authority as the London Lancet says,
in discussing the question: Nothing
will so derange the nervous system of
a person who is eliminative in nervous
force as to lie all night in bed with an
other who is absorbent of nervous force
The latter viii sleep soundly all night
and arise refreshed in the morning,
while this former will toss restlesslv,
and awake in the morning fretfuL,
peevish, faint-hearted and discouraged
No two persons, no matter who they
are, should habitually sleep together
The one will thrive, the other will lose"

Curious History of "a silver Mine.

There is a silver mine near Sarhad, in
Afghan territory, which has a curious
history. Three men were sent from
that country to Cabul, the residence of
the Ameer. to be executed for an Of
Tense against the state. They told the
Ameer that if he would let them off
they would tel; him w aere he could find
abundant supplies of silver The Ameer
deferred the execution and sent them
under guard to Iskansham. where they
went to work digging. They and the
men who were put to work with them
dug for twenty days finding nothing.
The Ameer's officer told them at length
that they could dig for seven days more
and if they did not find silver within
that time the sentence of death would
be carried out The next day they
came to a very rich vein of silver, and
now about one hundred men are en-
ployed in the mines, which was visited
last summer by an English traveller

Things Useful to Know,

A few drops of benzoin in the water
will be apt to give the complexion a
slight tinge of color.
If the hair is very greasy, try wash
ing it in warm water, in which a pinch
of borax has been dissolved.
Never use wooden toothpicl.s for the
teeth Use instead the dentists silk.
Avoid icy cold water for the teeth, as it
tends to crack the enamel
One of the most effective remedies for
preventing the hair from falling out is
the quinine tonics-SiXty grains of our

SERvICEABLE ANTS.
Tiny Insects That Exhibit Tact, Ingenuit,
and Method.


and Method.
An ant is one of the most seryicea bic
insects we can talk about In the first
place, the ant is great educator. She
10 proverbial for giving lessons in in
dustry, patience and helpfulness. We
listen to her while she speaks of pro-
viding, in summer, food for the winter.
She means we should lay by store of
knowledge for the days when we have
need of it. When she drars n beetle
through hole only half the size of its
body, she teaches us not to be discour-
aged if our first attempts do not in
variably succeed. And when she helps
sister ant to pull a big crumb of
bread over a pebble we understand her
to observe that the smallest of US is not
too small to help some one else.
Besides her value as a moral lecturer.
the ant is of some subtantial benefit as
we'll In hot countries. where ants most
abound, and where they are considered
the greatest pests by the inha bitants
thereof, they make themselves of use by
devouring every dead thing-animal or
vegetable-which they find. Bird, beast.
or insect, plant or tree, it makes no diff
ference to the ants. We are told that
IN some cases their voracious appetites
do not allow them to wait until the nm
fortunate creatures are dead. They
fall upon and devour living ones.
OF their value as scavengers many
stories are told. Once an American
naturalist travelling in Tasmania.
wished to collect skeletons of snakes.
so he killed his snakes and left them
on the ground, under a hot sun and
near an ant hill And the hot sun and
the hungry ants did the desired work
so well that after few hours he col
lected his skeletons, cleaned and
bleached.
The chasseur ants of the West Indies
have wide reputation as house-clean-
ers. 1t is not stated whether they carry
on their business at regular seasons, but
we are informed that when an army of
chasseur ants is seen approaching a
Gown the inha bitants of the town enntv
all their closets and drawers, leave them
open, stand the front door aiar and
abandon the house.
Then the ants enter the place ''in req
ular armies, and in uncounted millions. :"
Filling the houses from top to bottom,
they destroy in it every living creature
small enough for them to cverpower. In
these tropical countries many disagree
able small animals and insects infest
houses-rats, mice, spiders and flies
cockroaches, wasps, scorpions and
snakes and dozens of other creatures.
The ants do not leave one of these small
things alive to relate the story They
make clean sweep of everything
