rRANsrLANrING WOOD SEEDLINGS.

TRANSMITTING WOOD SEEDLINGS.
1t is quite common for farmers who
i've near forests with young aud
thrifty undcrbrush to take to the
woods for specimen. needed for orna-
mental planting. Unless extra care is
given such seedlings they rarely make
a vigorous, handsome growth. Al
most Invariably these trees have long,
sprawling roots, that caunot all be
dug UP, aud however stuntcd the top
may be, 1t is disproportionatcly large.
To cut back the top so as to have half
dozen vigorous buds is the only way
to succeed. Some cut of all small top
growth, thus forcing new buds out
from the trunk, but this takes more
time, and the buds are not distributed
so evenly as they may DO il a few
original ones are left. Il Boston Guilt

the most complete remedy for dyspepsia

ordinary cathartic is prescribed. 1t
acts as u gentle stimulant, not violent.

respect it is far superior to tho ordin-

not being disagreeable to take. 1t is
just the thing for childron on this ac-

We have always heard that women
were inclined to be ..'nosy" but from
recent developments we are lead to
believe that the men are keeping
up their end Of the game. 1t is said
that women pay too much attention to
dress but the ''deah boys" seem to be
equally interested in the apparel Of the
fair sex. Men have always kicked be-
cause women wore bustles; because
they wear corsets; because they
adopted the pull back; because they
wear trailing skirts (which is the most
dressy and graceful of any skir, made);
because they wear tight shoes and
high heels; large hats and deminutive
bonnets; because they wear suspeAders
(and some Of them want to wear the
breeches) and now an Illinois Senator
introduces bill making it an offense
punishable with fine and Imprisonment
for any person to make or sell hoop
skirt within the State.
If this thing continues the poor, dear
women will be prohibited from wear
ing anything at all after a while and
they will go buck TO the Garden OF

very sad indeed, but would be right in
line with the Indian brave whose ward.

old gentleman Immediately replied
with letter expressing his pleasure
OF hearing from his former pupil, and
knowing that he, too, was engaged in

The Iudinu Mound IN Martins Ferry to h
Lcyclsl to the Ground.

The Indian Mound in Martins Ferry to be
Leveiad to the Ground.
The famous historic mound in what
was the once beautiful Walnut Grove,
Martins Ferry, will soon be thing OF
tho past. 1t is 10 be used Tor street
filling,
This ancient landmark will be dug
away and tine dirt hauled TO North Filth
street, where it will be used for making
Il fill, preparatory to paving the street
with fire brick. The fill on this street
will be eight feet deep and twenty-nine
feet wide.
This old mound was purchased from
Mr.. o. r. Wood, who owns the land,
last fall by Mr., q, q. Cochra, the street
paving contractor, for the above pur-
pose, and would have been removed be-
lore this had the weather been iayor-
able.
In the mound there are thousands OF
yards OF gravel and the Lord only
knows what else,
For hundred years people have
talked about this mound, wondered
what it contained and during the last
half of the century there has been talk
OF opening the mound TO see II there
were treasures Of Indian relics and pos
sibly skeletons in it.
A report says that q party Of college
students from Mt. Pleasant spent
whole day digging into the mound and
at dark ceased work until morning, and
that number OF students from Beth
any, who had heard about the inyesti-
CATION, came to Martins Ferry and dug
for an hour or two in the small hours
and found large human skeleton, the
report says, supposed to be that of an
Indian, and was taken to Bethany,
where it is still exhibited.
II this was done it must have been
many years ago.
Hundreds OF thousands Of people
have seen the mound and those who
have never seen it should see it this
week. Martins Ferry people are anx-
ious to have public improvements but
will regret to learn that the old mound
will soon disappear.
