BONES OF GIANT INDIANS.
Prehistoric Men Seven Feet Tall Who
Once Lived in What Is Maryland.

Prehistoric Men Seven Feet Tall Who
Once Lived in What Is Maryland.
There has been received at the Mary
land Academy of Sciences the skele-
ton of an Indian seven feet tall. 1t was
discovered near Antietam ten days ago.
There are now skeletons of three pow
erful 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
their limited skill taught them to make,
Two of these skeletons belonged to in
dividuals evidently of gigantic size.
The vertebrate and bones of the legs are
nearly as thick as those of a horse, and
the length of the long bones exception
al The skulls are of fine proportions,
ample. and with walls of moderate
thickness, but of great strength, and
stitfened behind by a powerful occipi-
tai ridge. The curves of the forehead
costing intelligence, and connected
with jaws of moderate development.
The locality from which these skele-
tons came is in Frederick County, near
Antietam Creek. 1t was formerly sup
posed to have been the battle-ground of
two tribes of Indians. the Catawbas
and the Delawares. Tradition has
handed down the statement that be-
tween the years 1870 and 1876 the Ca
tawbaS overlook Il band of Delawares
ut the mouth of the Antietam. and in
the battle that enSucd the DelawareS
We're completely annihilatcd. SO the
tradition goes. but according to DR..

land Academy of Sciences and provost
of the Peabody Institute. careful eX-

point, although numerous spear and
arrow heads have been taken from the
soil there.
1t is of great interest. however, to no
tice that the locality was. at an earlier
1atc-before the coming of the white
man--occupied as village site by In
dams of great stature, some of them six
and half TO seven feet in height. The
bones of these were buried like those
Of prehistoric tribes in other parts Of
The State. The manner of burial was
ike this: The flesh was cleaned from
the bones. some OF which were then
charrcd. The small bones of the face
and neck were packed with clay. In
the grave was also placed pottery. u
tomahawk and the other weapons be-
longing to the Indians. No stone mark
ed the grave. and no beads or wampum
We're buried with the skeleton. But
over all the earth was hcape1 up into
q small oblong mound. along which
other similar mounds extended for
many feet. The overflow of neigh
boring river at this point had almost
destroyed the burial area, so that only
three Of these small elevations were
recognizable at the time of excavation.

Strange Things Pneumatic.

This is the age of things pneumatic.
a st. Louis man has invented rubber
cloak which can be transformed into Il
mattress by blowing it up. Everything
is blown up nowadays. A patent has
been granted for a kind Of cap which,
being blown up, may be made to serve
as a pillow at night or as life pre-
server in case of shipwreck. This is q
most convenient thing to travel with
on the ocean. There Is also life pre-
server corset. Better than any of these,
however is peculiar buoyant fabric
devised by German. 1t is interviewer
with the quilts of geese or other birds
and Is intended for wearing apparel or
for Innings. So light Is it that person
on voyage, If clad in a suit or dress
of 1t, may be sure of floating in case Of
disaster or falling overheard.

BICYCLES AND SAVINGS.
How Bank Deposits Have Been Affected
by the Purchase of Wheels.

met the president of prosperous
savings bank i'm one of the minor cities
of the Middle West ON railroad train
yesterday. and we fell to talking about
the everincreasing popularity of the
bicycle.
Every one understands. of course
he said. that the use of the wheel has
come to be we'll nigh universal. and
that millions Oh the back of millions of
dollars must be invested in the silent
steetls, but you can hardly realize to
what an extent they are used unless
you are placed in II position somewhat
like mine. In Il small town. like the
one in which live. the savings bank
men may easily become personally ac
quainted with practically every depos
itor. and make it Il point to take full
advantage of that circumstance. Con-
sequently am often advised concern
ing the financial affairs of our deposit
ors. which, though intrinsically small,
are of vast Importance to them. This
makes it all right for me to question
depositors now and then about their
savings.
EARLY last spring l noticed that a
number of mechanics who had long
been in the habit of making regular de-
poSits and who | supposed had steady
employment became decidedly irregu-
lar in their visits to he bank Others
stopped depositing altogether, and still
others, who continued to deposit regu-
larly. put in less each time than for
merly. Naturally, l began to make in
quiries. and more than three quarters
of those l spoke to confessed that their
surplus money was being used to meet
installment payments on bicycles, in
stead of finding its way to the savings
banks. l suppose our banks deposits
must have fallen off some thousands Of
dollars from this cOllSe, though
haven't taken the trouble to make a
careful estimate. In the whole cOun-
try installment payments for bicycles
must have decreased the total savings
banks receipts by very large amounts,
though. of course. there have probably
been compensatory deposits from work
men in bicycle alops in towns where
such establishments are located" DE

Interesting Mexican Ruin.

An American who has recently visit.
ed the ancient deserted City Of Uxmal,
Mexico, says the Governors palace is
the most interesting ruin in America.
1t rises on n broad triple terrace. and
embraces court upon court, rows of
mighty pillars, and long stretches of
empty halls. One of the pyramids Is
surmounted by temple, and another is
300 feet long. 200 feet wide and 20 feet
high, with n platform IS feet square on
top. The whole city Is pronounced n
majestic picture of desOlatiOn.

one they had dreamed of in their youth
of life that should be one long poem
of love. That time she fled from him
with wild shrek of fear and horror.
They did not meet again for many
nights. If during that time she had only
remembered the prayer of her child
hood, Lead us not into temptation.
But she was SO young: and then that
affection was the one blossom her life
had cherished in the midst of its ster-
lie grandeur.
One night she was standing on the
steps of her mansion, for she had just
taken leave of some guests, when llar-
~ Atwood suddenly sprang before her.
do not know what was said by eth
err party, but there We're frantic GEES
lures and wild appeals on one side. and
little later Mrs. Fleming was walking
among her garden shadows with Har-
ry Atwood.
This was repeated for several even
ings, until one midnight a closed car
rlage rolled hastily away from the pri-
vate entrance of Mr.. Flcmings
grounds. The next day his wife was
gone!
What an electrical thrill 1t sent
through the fashionable world-for her
beauty and her rank had made Mrs.
Fleming its especial idol.
She knew little of the censure and
scorn that We're heaped on her head IN
the quiet of that Italian home to which
she was borne by the man who loved
her only too well.
The world said Mrs. Fleming was
happy there but it was false. No
woman can ever be happy who makes
memory remorse and love crime.
But, dear me. how l used to smile
when everybody made parenthesis of
pity in their anathemas on Mrs. Flem-

MRS. PINEHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Of
female wenllnessarc invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to u woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

CALIFORNIA must have as bad a libel
law as that which disgraces the statute
books of Texas, for libel suits against
newspapers in that state appear to be
mora numerous than in any other state
in the union. The Sacramento Bee,
one of the most Independent and out
spoken, but scrupulOusly honest and
fair journals in that state, generally
has from two to four libel suits pend
ing against it, each claimant usually
asking $50, 900, and now the Los Ar
geles Herald has been,sued for $50 ,OOO
by H. w. Patton, late Democrat
candidate for congress, who withdrew
in favor of the populist candidate. Bar
low, and thereby elected the latter.
The Herald is sued for having init
mated that Patton sold out to the pop
ulists, which fact would seem to be
patent.

A SIGNIFICANT little news item from
WASH gton carries the Information
that the customs receipts for the day
were the largest yet collected under
the Dingley tariff law, with the opin-
ion of the treasury officials that here
after there will be surplus of re-
venue, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
This opinion may be trifle premature
though there is no fair ground to doubt
that in a short time the revenues will
be ample. The advance importations
under the old law to evade the duties
of the new have prevented this balance
up to the present time. When that
stock of goods is exhausted there is
every res son to believe there ill be q
surplus-a thing so long unAowa that
it's name has become unfamiliar, whi e
the complaints against is dangerous
character, once so common, have we'll

Warships Mere Mechanism

Charles 81. Cramp, the great Amer
lean shipbaildor r, says that the modern
warship is huge mechanism. TAX
ing the "Iowa,' new ship, as an ex-
ample, it may almost be said that TO-
thug is done by hand, except the open

selves-are tubed and ejected, the
shin steered, her boats hoist; d out aod

the great sc6rchlights operated and
even orders transmitted from the
bridge or coming tower to all parts
bv mechanical appliances. Surely DO
more striking view than this of the
development OF tn r:y-fve years could
be afforded. The 1aval armament of
today is a me chani-m. If we view it
as single ship, it is a mechanical
unit whose warlike value depends
on its excellence as a fighting
machine. If we view it as
fleet, it is an assembly of me-
chanical units, the wsrlike value of
which will depend on the excellence
of each unit as fighting mashine, and
on the adop ion of each unit to it's con-
sorts to produce themost symmetrical
efficiency of the group as whole.
