Varieties of Flax.

There is but ono species of flax culti-
waited for its fibre, but Of this there are
several varietieo, usually taking their
names from the country or district where
most extensively cultivated. Thus we
have the Russia fax, Riga flax, Dutch
flax, &c. T.; but. however much they may
differ from one another in growth and
amount and quality of their produce,
they all, when grown few years under
the same conditions, become SO complete
w assimiated to one another as very
strikingly to evince their specific identi-
ty. In other words, all revert to the or
iginal or typical form or species. There
is white Towering variety, and one
with an oval-shaped seed pod, and still
another known as the tall growing tho
stems being very tall and slender, but it
is not probable that any of these would
prove to be any more valuable for culti-
vation in Minnesota or other Northwest
ern States than the common variety
now in general cultivation in this coun-
try. Whether we will be able to raise
fax fibre in this country equal in quality
and as cheaply as it is done in European
countries is q question to be answered
by experience. We have cheap and rich
lands, but not the long experience
iu flax culture possessed by European
countries. u New York Sun.

How Fitzpatrick Drove.

A farmer of our acquaintance was
once driving down the steep approach to
country bridge, when the late General
Fitzpatrick dashed around bend in the
road and on to the bridge with his spiri-
ted trotter under full headway on his
way to catch train. There was barely
room to pass, but before the farmer could
more than twist his horses head to one
side the General, with CHEEKY Good
morning had shot forward, the hub
bands of his buggy just grazing those of
the farmers. 1t seemed almost impossi-
BILE that an ordinary vehicle could be
safely steered through so parrow space,
and az 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 miscalculation of the width OF d
wagon tire would have meant disaster.
But this was not foolhardy recklessness
on the part of tho General. With his
characteristic qaickness of decision, he
had calculated that there was just room
to pass, and through he went. The
slightest wavoring would have made
wreck on one side or the other, or per-
haps both, But he was n1t the man to
wabbe. His eye was true, his hand
steady, his head Lowell, and an inch on
un abutment wall was as safe for him as
yard for timid man. Philadelphi

Skeletons Intrenched in Fort.

Two prospectors, who have Just come
down to Alcade, New Mexico, from the
mountains, report the finding of the
| skeletons of four men who had evidently
intrenched themselves in rude fort and
battled with Indians until they were
either killed or starved to death. The
fort was constructed at the head Of
Blind Canyon, and was in such shell
tered position that it could be approached
from only one direction.
The mon had evidently fled up the
canyon from the Indians, and, finding
their retreat cut off, built barricade of
stones and sold their lives as dearly as
possible. The incident must have been
years ago, for the bones are bleached
white from exposure to sun and rain.
There is not a scrap of clothing or paper,
and the guns and ammunition had evil
IDENTIFY been carried off by the Indians
after the men had died. There were
about hundred empty shells from 45
calibre gun lying around within the fort,
showing that desperate fight had been
made.
The story told by the prospectors re,
ceives corroboration from story told by
Milton Welch, who has ranch east Of
here. Welch thinks the bones are those
of his four companions from whom he
was separated by the Indians in the
mountains near the spot nine years ago.
Mr.. Welch says he and four men had
been prospecting, when they were sud-
denly attacked by Indians.
He was riding a mule aud started down
the valley on run, while the others ran
the other way. He was wounded twice
and his mule was shot with half dozen
arrows, but he made good his escape.
He tried to find his companions after
ward, but was never able to get any trace
of them and supposed they had been
carried off by the Indians to the deep
recesses of the mountains where the
savages made their homes. II New York

The First Western Steamboat.

The first steamboat on Western waters,
said the late j. b. III. Latrobe before the
MARYLAND Historical Society, was the
New Orleans, which was built at and
started from Pittsburg, Penn, in Sep
tember, 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.
The New Orleans was 116 feet long,
twenty feet beam, and had an engine with
thirty-fou inch cylinder. The second
and third steamboats, built for this service
were the Vesuvius and the Etna,and the
fourth boat, the Buffalo, was built under
the direction of b. II. Latrobe, Sr. the
architect Of the first Capital at Washing

An Ancient American Idol,


The Stare Historical Society wsa en-
riched Yesterday by an image Of Eottery
supposed to bo an idol Of s6rto prehis-
toric race, probably the mcttd builders.
The idol was found nedr Ffon, Indepen-
dence County, Ark, ant was dug from
u mound by relic hunters along with
number Of decayeS' human bones, copper
arrow heads ana broken domestic uten-
sIs. 1t is The e'property of G.. w. Hume,
Of Strasbsrg, Mo, The idol is seven
inches IN height by five inches in diane
tor, 1t is rudely constructed, having evil
dently been formed by hand or at best
vcrv Grade fools. from common cav, and
afterwards hardened by being dried in
the sun.
The idol represents human figure
in q kneeing posture, the arms extend
ing at the side. The features are rude
ly formed, yet, Notwithstanding this, are
not altogether repusive, the nose being
gracefully aquiline and the lips well
| formed. The ears are missing, but the
remnants show that they were adorned
with rings. The body is squatty, and
might be said to resemble a toad. AT
the top of the head there is hole which
seems to have served purpose, proba-
bly, that of fastening a headdress to the
figure. The image would hardly be cata-
logued with the works of art, but it rs
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 ut time to which the tru
ditions of man runneth not. Who they
, were, where they came from, what theil
| manner of life was is ALA mystery
/ True, many mounds, excavations ant

been discovered, but so far they hav,
given but little of their history. Tha
s they lived and died before the race o
d American Indians existed is proved b,
= the fact that the traditions of the latte

= pie, although their mounds and relics ar
