MERCTES

rfMy meditation of Him shall be sweet")
Shall tell you OF what I've been thinking
And thinking the live-long day.
From the earliest dawn of the morning,
TIL the sunset fades away.
And on through the still, sweet evening,
And into the starry night.
TIL my soul is filed with music.
And the way is all flooded with light?
1t Is of the Lords rich blessings
And His tender mercies l sing.
Thick as the fragrant blossoms.
In the wonderful. beautiful spring.
All fraught with grace and helping.
They come straight down from above.
From the hand of my Heavenly Father
Whose very name is Love.
Sometimes I can hardly see them.
When doubts and fears assail,
But tits only my blinded vision,
And not that His merces fail.
And sometimes they look like sorrows
All fierce and dark. and chill;
But when I turn to the other side,
The mercies are shining still.
Then what can do but trust Him.
Since He sends me what is best;
And I know He is leading me safely.
To His own eternal rest.

BOARD OF TRADE DEBATES.

Ansonia, Dec. 22.-The series of de- bates to be conducted by the Ansonia board of trade promises to be of much interest as well as benefit to the people of this city. The topic of discussion will relate chiefly, possibly wholly, to matters of local concern, and it is hoped to enlist the cooperation of all the de- baters of ability in the city. It would thus appear that the debates will bring prominently to public attention and with greater force than hitherto all those subjects of domestic economy and local policy, that have been agitating the public-Iocal mind for some time.
 The value of such discussions is so plainly apparent that we need pause only to direct attention to it. Our meth ods of city administration have become so fixed that we may be said to be travelling in 8 rut. Many of them are nothing more nor less than relics of the old borough and town systems which were laid aside some years ago, when AnsOnia became a city. They have served their day and usefulness and should disappear. New ideas, new pur- poses, new aspirations should enter in to the thoughts of all Ansonians. We should strive to provide for our active little city te very best of all methods that can be made to apply to our future life and growth.
 These discussions will naturally be of an informatory character. They will include such subjects as the plan of assessment (which has been made the topic of the first debate) the road ques- ton, the best forms of government, pos sibly our charity system, and many other things as they shall suggest them selves to the committee in charge. Com- posed as the board of trade is of the business men of the city, there could be no more appropriate body to consider these questions. and in the end that body may see it's way to the proposal of suggestions and changes that may be very helpful to the community. Certainly the board of trade can ac- complish something along these lines, and thus demonstrate to the people of Ansonia the value of its existence-An- sonia Sentinel.

BONES OF GIANT INDIANS. Prehistoric Man Seven Feet Tall, Wht

Prehistoric Man Seven Feet Tall, Who
 Once Lived in What is Maryland
 There has just been received at the Maryland Academy of Sciences the skeleton of an Indian seven feet tall It was discovered near Antietam ten days ago.
 There are now skeletons of three powerful Indians at the academy who at one time in their wildness roamed over the State of Maryland armed with such instruments as nature gave them or that their limited skill taught them to make. Two of these skeletons be- longed to individuals evidently of gigantic size. The vertebrae and bones of the legs are nearly as thick as those of a horse and the length of the long bones is exceptional
 The skulls are of fine proportions, ample and with walls of moderate thickness, but of great strength, and stiffened behind by a powerful occipital ridge. The curves of the forehead are moderate and not retreating, suggest ing intelligence and connected with jaws of moderate development.
 Tradition has handed down the statement that between the years 1730 and 1736 Catawbas overlook a band of Delawares at the mouth of the An tietam, and the battle that ensued the Delawares were completely annihilated. hn tra h11t +n Dr. Philip R. Uhler. president of the Maryland Academy of Sciences care full examination of this locality has failed to establish evidences of a battle at this point, although numerous spear and arrow heads have been taken from the soil there.
 It is of great interest however, to notice that the locality was at an earlier | date, before the coming of the white man, occupied as a village site by h. dians of great stature, some of them six and a half to seven feet in height. The manner of burial was like this: l The flesh was cleaned from the bones. some of which were then charred. The small bones of the face and neck were ] packed in the cavity of the skull, and a round hole about two and a half feet wide, was dug in the ground, in which the skeleton was buried and carefully packed with clay. In the grave was aso placed pottery, tomahawk and I other weapons belonging to the Indians.
 The earth was heaped up into a small, oblong mound, along which other simi-
 lar mounds extended for many feet. | a nNrpTtnWG n iop nriy1 :.
 this point had almost destroyed the burial area so that only three of these small elevations were recognizable at
 the time of xcavation.-Baltimor | American.

FOWLS WITH OVERCOATS.

John Hogan, who lives in Angora, has a peculiar fad, to which he devoted eve ry minute of his spare time It is the collecting and breeding of curious do- nestle fowls of all countries. His col lection is very complete, and of good size, considering the difficulty of col lecting, and his poultry yard has al- ways proved a point of interest to the residents of Angora. Many strange looking birds strut about the inclosure. but none were odder looking than a pair that he received from India about three weeks ago. They were of peculiar shape, and had faces that greatly re- sembled the human countenance. and of course, they attracted a great deal of attention.
 Now MT. Hogan's little daughter Mary, takes after her father to a great degree, in being of an experimental mind, and one day during her fathers absence she tried her hand on the new fowls from India. Various things Were tried with more or less success, and when MT. Hogan reached home he found the valued birds devoid of feath CTS and each thickly coated with red paint. After some forcible persuasion Mary confessed to having picked the birds to see how they looked, and then dipped them in paint to keep them warm. This last was a suggestion, and as Mir. Hogan knew the birds would die of cold he set his brains to work. The result is that brace of stately fowls, with neatly fitting overcoats, promenade the chicken run.-Philadel- phia Record.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 21.-The report of
the special inspector of convict
camps was filed with the governor TO.
day. 1t not only gives information
heretofore unknown to the public bus
reveals series of horrors and abuses
which are almost inconceivable in a
civilized state. The inhuman treat
ment of prisoners in some private
camps is too horrible and revolving
for publication.
The brutality in several cases
amounts TO murder, and in a number
TO torture. In one case it appears
that a murder in Pulaski county was
hushed up by the grand jury because
of influence, though a reputable citi-
zen appeared and swore he saw con
vict beaten to death. Nearly all
abuses of both cruelty and fragrant
disregard of sanitary provisions have
occurred in private camps where tie
misdemeanor convicts were leased to
individuals in violation of the Law.
OF 1,T92 misdemeanor convicts about
six hundred are thus hired. The MGR
tality in the private camps is nineteen
in an average of $50 inmates. In the
public camps it was twenty-three in
an average total of 1,010. The rate
is therefore about double in the pri-
Sate camps. In one of them it was
% per cent. In concluding the re-
port says: "God only knows how
badly the misdemeanor camps of Geor-
gia need rescue. 1t is worse than 81
IBERIA"
In the private camps instances OF
brutal treatment are reported ans IN
some cases it is too shocking to bear
publication. The law requiring a
daily report of the conduct of each
convict as base for the good time al
lowance of four days a month is en-
tirely ignored.
In an East Macon camp 30 negroes
and one white convict slept chained
together in a close unventilated room
only 10 by il feet, with the windows
nailed up.
In a Glynn county camp at the
first visit an inspector found forty
six negroes and fifteen white males
sleeping in room nineteen feet
square and less than eight feet high.
