DIDN'T KNOW OF THE ELECTIo

DIDN'T KNOW OF THE ELECTION
There is one county in the United
States whose residents did not know
of the recent national election. That
is Charlton county, Ga.
The officials in the Office of the Sec
retary of state are authority for the
declaration that the people of the
county could not have known of it,
for no election was held there and the
official digest of the election in Geor-
gia has been made up with Charlton
county left out.
The famous Okefeenookee swamp
covers most of the territory of the
county, which is on the Florida line,
and, indeed, runs down into Florida.
According to the maps, there are
several towns in the county, with
Traders Hill as the county seat, but
all efforts of the secretary of state to
get returns from there have proved
unavailing, and it is claimed as GER
tainty that no election was held there.

EIGHT HOURS TO SLEEP.-The value
of sleep to brain-workers cannot be
exaggerated. In q recent lecture on
nervous energy it was said that the
brain requires ~ hours of sleep at
four years of age, gradually diminish
ing by hours and half-hours to 10 at
IA, and thence to eight hours when
the body is full grown and formed.
Goethe, in his most active productive
period, needed nine hours, and took
them. Kant-the most laborious of
students-was strict in taking never
less than seven hours. Nor does it
appear that those who have systemat-
ically tried to cheat nature of this
chief right have been, in any sense,
gamers of time for their work. 1t
may be a paradox, but it is not the
less truth, that what is given to
sleep is gained to labor.

POPULAR SUPERsTITIONs.-T rat
tlesnake, because of its venomous bite,
is universally dreaded, and, writes DR..
w. J. Hoffman in Appleton's Popular
Science Monthly, numerous curious
beliefs are current respecting this rep
tile, also the use to which the various
parts may be put, and the treatment
of its bite.
The rattle, if tied to a string and
suspended from the neck of an infant,
will serve to prevent convulsions; if
carried by an adult, it will guard
against rheumatism. The oil is en-
ployed as remedy for deafness, and
the uenom, diluted, mixed with bread,
and made into pills, has been admins
tered internally to cure rheumatism.
Another curious superstition, held by
young men, is that if one places a
snakes tongue upon the palm Of his
hand-beneath the glove-it will cause
any girl, regardless of her previous in
difference, to ardently return his pas
sion if he be enabled but once to take
her hand within his own. This resem-
bles to certain extent the former use
in Germany of doves tongue, which
was similarly employed ; and further
more, if one became aware that the
choice of his heart failed to respond to
his affection, he had only to place a
doves tongue within his mouth and
snatch kiss, when the girls objection
or indifference to him would instantly
vanish.

LANGUAGE OF The HEN.

The ordinary domestic fowls affords
the most positive evidence of the pos
session of language that is under
stood. There are many decidedly diff
ferent calls, which if taken down in
phonograph and repeated in hen
house or yard would produce inter-.
esting results. On warm day, when
hens are released from their coop,
when their minds are undisturbed and
all nature looks bright and inviting,
they sing as they feed-a continuous
repetition of kerr-keer-kerr, with va
rious modulations. The rooster never
utters it, nor the mother hen; it is
the song of the happy-go-lucky of hen
creation.
Now, let a hawk appear in the sky
or any disturbing element; an entirely
different sound is heard. The hen
stops, stretches her head upward, and
with the cock utters decided note CT
warning in a high falsetto, k-a-r-r-e: :
And if the enemy still comes on it is
repeated and every hen in the vicinity
lowers it's head and runs to cover. The
sound says in the gallus language: "An
enemy is coming; run!" and run they
do, the kerr-keer-kerr being discontin-
ued only when all danger is past. Note
the Joyous call of the hen that has laid
an egg. Cut-cut, ca-da-cut! comes
oft repeated from the hen house, and
other envious hens are informed be-
yond any question or mistake that
Mrs. Gallus has laid an egg.
Now, when the eggs are hatched
we have other and maternal notes.
There is deep, monotonous cluck,
cluck that is warning to Others and
gentle admonition of the chicks to
remain near, but it is not call. Note
the difference when the mother or
proud cock finds worm. The cock
appears to be greatly excited, and he
pretends to peck at it, make the guile
less mems believe that he is about to
devour the bonne bouche himself, all
the time he is saying cut, cut, cut
come, come, come-rapidly, which
causes the hens to run pell-mell in his
direction, to find in many instances
nothing, being merely device to call
the Hock away from some rival. But
in the case of the mother the little ones
always find some tidbit she has dis
covered.
The baby talk of the old hen to her
chicks exists in great variety and is
suggestive of tenderness, affection and
solicitude. When the hen has her
brood beneath her ample folds she OF.
ten utters q sound like c-r-a-w-z-z.e of
half warning and contentment. And
when an intruder enters the coop at
ter dark she utters high, prolonged
whistling note like w-h-o-o-e, softly re-
peated, indicative of wonder and slight
alarm.
If fox or coyote or other enemy
seize her how quickly comes an entire
ly different cry-a scream OF terror
and alarm, k-i-a-i-a-o-u, repeated again
and again, and so full of meaning that
the owner, some distance away reach
es for his shotgun and answers the sig;
nal of distress.

chief temporized, expressed himself as
suspicious of some plot to separate him
from his people and to hold him as
hostage at the fort.
If Colonel Fenton desired to talk, let
Colonel Fenton come to the council
lodge at the village, but leave his SOL
diers behind. Big Roads old men had
seen visions and had heard warnings,
his medicine chiefs had been signaled
by the Great Spirit, his young men were
excited and alarmed, his women were
weeping and gathering their children
to their knees. If the white chief meant
peace and friendship, let him show it
by coming to his lodge with gifts in his
hands instead Of guns. He (the white
chief was rich, and his horses and his
young men were fat and strong. Big
Road was poor and his people were
hungry and cold, his ponies dying. Fen

tain's troop, and she had grown deeply
attached to them, even though now oc.
casionally visiting her kindred.
It was at luncheon, talking to his
wife, that Amory told of Colonel Fen
toms purpose Of riding over to the vii
lage that very afternoon, and the story
was repeated in the kitchen, where it
reached the ears Of the Indian girl. In
an instant she had 'darted out Of the
house and gone to the colonel's, where
she frightened Lucretia out Of her seven
senses with the first words she uttered
"They kill the colonell He no go!'
Luckily, Wayne was at hand to soothe,
support and explain. Other officers were
sent for, and, despite Fenton's pooh
poohing, 30 strong were their arguments
that at Q o'clock messenger was dis
patched to Big Roads bailiwick to tell
him the colonel had heard that which
made him say to the Indian chief thai
now the only way in which he woulc
meet him would be at the adjutant't
Office, as originally proposed, or else
alone and unarmed midway between
the fort and the village, no soldiers or
warriors being allowed to approach
within 400 yards, unless, indeed, Big
Road himself should propose an adju-
tant for each. If this was satisfactory,
let the time be set for O'Clock and
Fenton would be there.
The half breed messenger came back
in half an hour. "Big Road would send
his answer by squaw," and that was
Big Roads way Of saying that the white
chief was an old woman. Utterly for
getful now of the service Fenton had
rendered his people and him, duped by
the visions Of his medicine men and
fuddled with the liquor lavished on him
by the cowboys, Big Road was hot for
war.
No squaw came, no conference took
place. Darkness was settling down up
on the post when at last the westward
sentries reported small party of In.
dians riding out from the village to-
ward Fort Frayne. The trumpetera

DEATH OF MISS JANE CARROLL.
The Last of the Daughters of Daniel
Carroll of DuddinEton.

Carroll of Duddfnston.
The death last Friday of Miss Jane Car
roll removes from Washington one of the
lives which linked the present city with it's
early history. Miss Carroll was the young
est and last surviving daughter of Daniel
Carroll. She was born April Z, 1921, at
Duddington. This fine old colonial man
sion, with it's grounds occupying the square
between 1st and I'd and D and E streets
southeast, was built in 1893, the year in
which the District Of Columbia was laid
out, and remained for nearly century
the home of that refined life and graceful
hospitality typical Of the old southern
family. Daniel Carroll died in 1910. His
family consisted of six daughters. In 1884
only the two youngest survived and it
was then, to the regret Of all who knew the
place as one of the landmarks of early
Washington, that the two surviving sisters
left Duddington, which was sold and torn
down to make way for the rows of houses
now occupying the ground. After the
death, in 1887, of her last sister, Rebecca,
Miss Carroll lived most of the time with
northwest, but she always retained her
strong interests and attachments in the
eastern section of the city, which had
grown up within her lifetime on what had
originally been part of her fathers planta-
ton. She was a lifelong member of St.
Peters Church, and retainedIther pew there
until the last The Sacred Heart window
was her gift to the new building. Her
father gave the ground for the church to
the infant parish, as he did that on which
the Capitol was built to the embryo city.
Miss Carroll was genial and happy disposi-
ton, bright, accomplished and witty, with
a charming manner, always cheerful and
animated. Through a lifesh holding the many
sorrows of one who outlives all her nearest
of family, and through her own waning
strength, her mental faculties and her
sunny temperament remained unifnpaired.
Less than a week before her death she was
called upon by lawyers to attest her
fathers signature to deeds conveying prop
erty for some benevolent purpose in the
District, and quickly corrected some in
cidental mistakes. Her greatest anxiety
in the last day or two seemed to be lest the
change for the worse in her condition
should deprive the family Of some an
ticipated pleasure. Her funeral will take
place. at st. Peters tomorrow morning.
and her expressed wishes will be followed
in the absence Of display of any kind.
