The Out Door Woman.

Because 1t is 50 likely to lead to over
riding on the woman's part a great many
people, even among cyclists themselves,
think it unWise for her to ride habitually
wit b a man. There is much truth in the
idea that she is likely to ride harder under
such circumstances. fshe becomes tired
she is unWlIIlng to admit the fact, for fear
of being drag upon her companion, and
often insists that she Is perfectly able to
maintain pace winch i'll reality calls for
a tremendous effort ON her part.
How long she VIII be allowed to do this
depends upon the observing faculties of
the man with her. Sometimes he notices
very quickly That she is working far more
than she ought, and slackens his speed
accordingly. Again, he may be deceived
by her assurances to the contrary, and
never realize " hat a task he is cutting out
for her. 1t should not be left to his de-
ciSIon.
When she feels that she is doing too
much, Il woman should say so at once, and
either stop and rest or llde very slowly.
If the man wishes to ride " it'll her, he VIII
not mind having the distance somewha
shortened, for he knows, or ought to,
that she cannot be expected to cover as
much ground as one OF his neu friends

Discoveries In Ohio Mounds.

Warren K. Moorehead, curator of the
Ohio Archaeological society, has been
opening mounds along the valleys Of the
Muskingum river and its tributaries,
making some important finds. A small
mound on the Porteus farm, three miles
south Of Coshocton, was opened, in which
five skeletons were found. These skele-
tons are OF unusual interest to science,
as they indicate the type Of the prehis-
toric race. The skull is thicker than that
Of the negro, with low facial angles, prom
inent jaws, handsome teeth, and small
brain capacity. The skeletons indicate
tribe somewhat shorter than ourselves,
more muscular, and heavier.
Near Walhonding, in mound two feet
high, was found the skeleton of person
supposed to have been the arrow maker
of the tribe. Just above him were buried
some sixty or seventy of his implements.
These were made of flint, beautifully
shaped, and about half the size of mans
hand. In gravel pit near by was found
the skeleton of child, with mussel shells
and other playthings.
In a mound nine feet high /, on the john
son farm, were found a stone used for
playing games, flint scalping knives, and
few arrow heads. There are a great
many mounds in this valley, and it is ex-
pected that other valuable and interest
ing finds will be made
