INDIANA'S TALLEST MOUND.
Thought to Have Been Built by q Race
That Lived Before the
Indians,

The plowshare of the farmer is slow
ly but surely obliterating one of the
first monuments left in southern Indi-
ana by prehistoric man, says the Indi-
lnapolis News. One mile south of
Petersburg, on the farm owned by
James Mccoy, is the largest mound in
the state. That it was artificially con-
structed is beyond question, as there
are no natural hills in this vicinity, and
the land for miles around shows where
the dirt was removed for Its building.
Whether thrown up as a perpetual
monument to commemorate the yir.
tues of the ancient Mound Builders or
aboriously constructed by the red
men as place of council, or burying
ground for departed braves, is ques-
ton that none can answer.
Arthur Veatch, of Rockport, who
was for some years employed by the
state in excavating Indian mounds in
southern Indiana, has seen the
mounds, and believes it was the work
of race who lived before the Indians,
as the specimens of arms and various
implements found in similar mounds
do not correspond in any way with the
most ancient Indian relics.
The mound is almost 100 feet above
the surrounding country, and covers
five acres of ground. Until a few years
ago the mound rose almost abruptly
from the roadside, but the farmers
who titled the adjoining fields have
scaled the steep ascent higher and
higher each year, until now almost one
half of the elevation is covered with
growing grain.
When Pike county was first settled
by white men a fort was erected
short distance from the base of the
mound, and the mound itself was used
as lookout station and graveyard.
Some of the old tombstones are still
standing, and mark the last resting
place of many ric~eer who died

she delusive fountain of health and
fortune,

One of the richest men in the world.
who is now engaged in the task of Civ
ing his wealth away, has just thrown a
queer sidelight upon the question as
to what are riches.
The New York World pursued Mr..
Carnegie to his castle at Skibo. The
correspondent writes:
AS we drove down to the station I
was saying how l enyied him his
wealth.
He said: 81 am not really to be en-
We'd. How can my wealth help meP
am sixty years old and / cannot di-'
gest my food. / would give you all
my millions If you could give me
youth and health"
Then l shall never forget his next
remark. We had driven some yards
in silence, when Mr.. Carnegie sudden
ly turned and in hushed voice and
with bitterness and depth OF feeling
quite indescribable. said:
''If could make Faust's bargain I
would. would gladly sell anything
to have half my life over again"
And saw his hands clinch as he
spoke.
BY this standard it will be seen that
there are times when gold is a night
mare not worth the pursuing. A clear

Condition.

ga merry heart doeth good like a
medicine" are the words of the wise
man, and the truthfulness of his ex-
perience has been demonstrated by
many. The sad results of the oppo-
site state of mind have been not only
the imbitterment of many lives, but
the cause of more physical ills than
any other single factor that has
operated in the degeneration of the
tissues of the body and the produc-
ton of disease. Every sensation of
the workings of the normal func-
tions of the body is pleasant, and
no less agreeable are the activities Of
a normal mind. Thus man was cre-
ated Il be happy, to enjoy dominion
over himself and the creation about
him, not to rule over it with brute
force, but to act as master and guide
for the development of the race and
the world around. Appreciation of
his position and enjoyment of it's
pleasures, was one of the strongest
features of this sovereignty, says

A PENNSYLVANIA CUSTOM.
Farmers Who Distribute. Part of
Their Property to Children
While still Living

Farmer James L. Fehr, of Pine
Grove, called his seven children to-
gether on his seventy-second birthday
recently and gave to each of them
one of his fine farms. In doing this
he made a brief address to them, say
ing that they were nov old enough
to know the difference between right
and wrong; that they knew the value
of property and how to take care of it,
and that he did not wish them to wait
until his death for their share, says
the New York Sun.
At Oneeta Farmer Jacob Allen called
his five sons to his home on his sew
enty-third birthday andsgave each of
them money enough to pay off every
dollar they owed on their farms. Those
who held the mortgages were present,
and upon payment of interest and
principal the five mortgages were
burned in an iron pot on the front lawn
and the entire party drank cider to
the health of the parents and grand
parents. The old gentleman had
saved 1000 in the last ten years for
this celebration.
Several ministers of this district,
having charge of large country congre-
cations, are urging rich farmers to
make similar distributions of their
property to their children whenever
they can do so without endangering
their own happiness. One of these
clergymen said:
erich farmers, in fact all others wht
are not farmers, should be very care
full not to leave themselves poor. Thus
far [ know but one man who has madt
such a mistake. He mortgaged his
big farms to give his children $500
apiece. This was four years ago. Now
his mortgage has been foreclosed and
the place will probably be sold out.
What will become of the old man is
not yet known.
elderly men make a mistake in
staying in business too long. In the
past ten years | have attended five eel
ebrations on farms where liberal dis
tributions of accumulated wealth have
taken place. / never saw happier
people. Each succeeding year the
sons go home on anniversary day and
the old father expects to hear from
each what returns were realized on
the property. The son who makes the
best report receives a reward, thus
carrying out the Scriptural injunction
to him that hath shall be given So
you see the entire scheme is produc-
tive of thrift, care and attention to
business, for the son or daughter who
has a poor report to make comes in
for a little talking to unless there is

A DELICIOUS DESSERT.
An Easily Made and Very Palatahle
Dish for the Warm

French blanc mango, which means a
white jelly, is a delicious dessert if it
lis properly made. It cannot be COM

There is enough of the elements of
nutrition in dessert compounded In
this manner to justify it's existence.
says the New York Tribune. A blanc
mango when properly made should be
made of cream, with as little water as
possible. A small amount must be
used to melt the gelatine. A heaping
tablespoonful of gelatine, or a third
of box, is enough to stiffen alquart
of whipped cream into blanc mango
Any kind of favoring may be added to
this white jelly. A very nice addition
is few drops of almond extract and

The Electric Eeps victim.

At the Geological gardens a large
electric eel was swimming in its tank
with more activity than usual, when
a big coclroach fell into the water,
and in It's efforts TO get out made
disturbance of the surface, which at
tracted the attention of the eel. The
eel turned round, swan past it, dis
charged its battery at about eight
inches off, and the cockroach instantly
stopped stone dead. It did not even
move its antennae after. The eel then
proceeded to swallow its victim, and
the narrator goes on to point out the
curious circumstance that the fish,
which weighed about IL pounds, should
find it worth while to fire it's heavy
artillery at creature an inch and
half long, when it could easily have
swallowed it sans facon.-Chambers

SUMNER MILLINERY.
Hats OF Every shape and Unllnitsa
Variety in the Trimming
This Season.

Woman's weakness for new hats is
traditional and she will forego many
ather necessaries of dress to gain the
distinction which a new and stylish
hat gives to her appearance. To wear
IN old-style hat is an insult to her
taste in dress as well as her discrim-
nation in the matter of what goes
furthest in the way of improvement
IN style, so the millinery department
Is always a source of interest to her,
says the New York Sun.
There is nothing wanting in variety
this season, for there is every kind
Of shape and unlimited variety in
The trimming. The Gainsborough
hat, varied somewhat in the turn of
the brim and the mode of trimming,
Is one of the leading favorites. 1t
has a fat crown and a wide brim,
capable of many manipulations, and
feathers are the prevailing decora-
ion.
The hat with a double brim is one
of the most distinctive novelties. It
Is treated in various ways with Or
without flowers between the edges,
but always with the tuck of black
velvet in some form, usually in bow
falling on the hair at the back with
profusion of flowers also at the
back and nearly forming half of the
hat. This particular style of double
brim has the appearance of being
doubled over half from the back,
where it is separated from the
crown.
Loops OF velvet falling over the
hair are special feature of trim
ming, but there are many ways of US
ing velvet ribbon in latticed and
crossed designs. One black crinoline
hat with wide brim has bands of
black velvet ribbon around the crown
tied in a hanging bow at the back,
and the flowers are pink roses ar
ranged nearly on the edge of the
brim.
One of the greatest charms of the
summer millinery is the light weight
of the hats, making them so comfort
able to wear. A very pretty hat in
the three-cornered shape, of white
hair braid, has piping of black vel
vet around the edge. At the back and
sides are rosettes of velvet ribbon,
under the brim, and one long white
plume with scarf of lace forms the
trimming.
Black tucked null is used to face
the brims of some of the white hats
trimmed 1avishly with white roses.
Shirred pink chiffon is also a pretty
facing for white hat trimmed with
white roses. Pink and red geraniums
are very popular flowers, also pop
pies and cornfowers, and as for
fancy quilts they are used in every
way imaginable.
Shirt-waist hats and hats which are
tailor-made show a greater variety
than ever before. They are not SO
severe as formerly, consequently
much more becoming. Spotted silk,
quilts and wings adorn them very at
tractively, but the latest and SMART
est trimming, so it is said, for this
hat is grass green berege yelling of
the old-fashioned kind twisted
around the crown.
