Discoveries IN Ohio Mounds.

CincinaHi Commercial Gazette.
Warren K. Morehead, curator of the
Ohio Archaeological Society, has been
opening mounds along the valleys OF
the Muskingum River and its tr1buta-
ries, 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 skeletons are of unusual interest
to science, as they indicate the type OF
the prehistoric race The skull is thick
er than that of the Negro, with low IA
cial angles, prominent jaws, handsome
teeth, and small brain capacity. The
skeletons indicate. tribe som ewhat
shorter than ourselves, more muscular
and heavier.
Near Walhounding in mound two
feet high, was found the skeleton OF q
person supposed to have been the arrow
maker of the tribe. Just above him
were buried some sixty or seventy o
his implements. These were made Of
flint, beautifully shaped, and about
half the size of mans hand. In q
gravel pit near by was found the skele
ton of a child, with musse1 shells anC
other play things.
In mound nine feet high, on the
Johnson ia rln, were found a stone useC
tor playing games, flint scalplng knives
and few arrow heads. There are {
great many mounds in this valley, anc
it is expected that other valuable ane
interesting finds will be made.

HOW THEY GO.
THERE ARE WAYS AND WAYS
The Walk Of Women.
London Figaro.

London Figaro.
''How women walk" has recently
been the subject of discussion in a Pa
risian journal. According to this au-
thorlty, the palm must be awarded to
French women. The English woman,
it states, does not walk she travels.
Her limbs appear to be moved by the
engine OF steamer, and her feet have
the proportions of an Atlantic liner
Concerning the gait of women OF other
countries, this interesting journal goes
on to remark that the German is heavy,
one feels the earth trembIe beneath her
tread the Spanish woman "prances,I
the American resembles the pendulum
OF a clock, the italian ''sklps," the Rus
sian Skates" the Dutch woman "rolls,' y
and the Belgian tramps about.
Now, although these remarks are un-
gallant and uncomplimentary to our
own nation particularly, We cannot but
own there is certain amount of truth
in them. Numbers of women do not
seem to care how they walk so long as
they cover the distance they wish to
traverse somehow. But it they could
only see themselves as they appear to
the casual onlooker, how very different
ly they would comport themselves
How often is pretty face and figure
spoiled 'by stoop of the shoulders and
a Whaling, bustling walk!
Corsican women are models of queen
ly grace, and the reason is plain. They
have curious custom of carrying bur
dens, waterpots, ETC., on their heads.
l noticed Corsican woman going on
hoard steamer at Marseilles not long
ago carrying her baby in her arms and
her portmanteau on her head. As
nearly all the water In Corsica is car
ried from wells by women in waterpots,
the women acquire from youth the
practice of carrying burdens on their
heads. An hours practice of this ex-
erclse day with, for instance, a book
Or pillow on our head, would do wonders
in the way of making us into types of
grace and ease, when before we were
the exact opposite.

Rheumaclde, the great blood purifier
and rheumatic cure, has been tried by
the greatest of all courts, the public, and
found guilty of curing rheumatism.
We can't find room for the testimony
of but a small number of the witnesses,
but enough to convict.
MIR. H. S. Llpscomb, merchant, Paco-
let, S. C. says: II am cured, and,
knowing it as do, would pay 500 per
bottle if 1 could not secure it for less. "
Mr.. M. f. Barnett, travelling sales
man, Hendersonville, N. c., says :"One
bottle cured me of rheumatism, which
suffered with for Is years, after all 9th
er remedies failed"

c.. writes "My wife has used two bot
ties of Rheumacide and is nearly well
She had bad attack Of rheumatism

one more bottle will cure her"
Mr. n. B. Broughton, of the firm OF

Importance Of Small Industries.
RObesoni0n.

RObesoni0n.
AS an exchange aptly remarks
Great industries play an important
part in building up town but they
are not so valuable, neither will they
build up town SO quickly or on SO
solid basis as will smaller industries.
The South has been badly injured as
the steady drain of its money to the
North rendered necessary by this sec
ton not having manufacturing plants
to turn our own raw material into ar
ticles needed here and which we now
have to purchase from the outside.
The live, go-ahead cities and towns
OF the South have made by the estab-
llshment of manufacturing enterprises
within their borders, and we find that
the places with large number of small
factories are growing much faster and
are more prosperous than those with a
few large ones.
Now the question is how to get fac
tories established in town? We will
answer by cooperation of its live citi-
zens. No matter how many advantages
town or city may have, the chances
are against outside capital coming to il
without it's citizens help to bring il
there. Capital is being invested in toe
many places in the South for the men
who possess it to have to hunt up 6
place to invest it. When the advan
tage of so many places are being KEEP
before their eyes they naturally think
that the towns which keep in the dark
have nothing to recommend them.

"The other day witnessed an anus

OF commemoration in print. I was
staying with friends who have varied

five puppies, fox terrier and two fine
deerhounds. This happy family are al
lowed to spend part Of the day in the

hearth rug is the fayorite 'coigne of ad-
vantage with them all. Zuna, the deer
hound, sauntered in one morning and
found every approach to the fire by the
slunbering forms of her companions.
She tried gently to scratch a passage
for herself, but was repelled with growls.
So, apparently suffering from extreme
lowness of spirits. she retired to dis
tant corner OF the room but not to sleep.
For ten minutes she crouched there,
pondering silently, then, suddenly
bounding up, flew to the window, and
barked as If an invading army were in
sight. OF course every one, human
and canine, followed In mad haste. The
hearth rug was lett unoccupied, and Zu-
ma quietly trotted round, stretched her
huge FORM before the fire, and in an in
stant was snoring heavily, leaving us
all staring out Into vacancy-emphati-

The Housekeeper's Column.

THE COMMONWEALTH wishes to be
helpful to every one IN every home
which it visits, and we know that no
one oftener needs help than the house
keeper, who must three times a day
plan meals for the whole family. Per-
haps the following about cooking po-
tatoes may be OF interest to the good
housewives who read these columns:
Very large potatoes should be re-
jected. They are usually hollow heart
ed and unsavory.
To boil potatoes, have the water boil
ing first and slightly salted. Cut off
the tips of their ends and throw into
the boiling water. When done, drain
and shake, holding the cover down
firmly. Set back upon the stove for a
minute, and they will be dry and mealy.
In the spring potatoes should stand in
cold water a few hours before using.
Mashed potatoes look much nicer when
done with patent masher. Baked po-
tatoes are improved by first boiling
them (skins on9 Tor Is minutes, then
putting them into the oven. Always
have quick oven for baking potatoes
and turn them over once or twice while
baking. A meat pie is far healthier if,
instead of the unsual crust of rich pas
try, a potato crust or cover is used.
Many appetizing breakfast dishes are
prepared from cold boiled potatoes,
among which are the following from
Good Housekeeping, authority also for
the foregoing suggestions
Cold mashed potatoes may be nodded
into balls, then dipped into beaten egg
and cracker crumbs. Fry in basket
in kettle of hot lard or drlppings un-
til rich brown. Or patato scramble
may be made by cutting cold boiled
potato into dice, turning into hot beef
chicken or turkey gravy, heating
thoroughly and serving hot.
Potato croquettes are made as follows
and are acceptable not only for break
fast, but Tor lunch:
| Two cupfuls of warm mashed pota-
toes, one-quarter cupful of hot milk
beaten together until light; add ta-
blespoonful of melted butter, one-hal1
teaspoonful of salt, pinch of mace OF
nutmeg and enough beaten egg to han
die easily. Shape, dip into beaten. egg
and roll in sifted cracker crumbs. Fry
in hot lard until nicely Drowned. Gar
nish with parseley.
