HISTORIC WALL UNCOVERED.

ants of the vicinity become to its pres
ence that their curiosity has become
dulled, and they have long since ceased
to wonder as to its origin.
AS stated, the old wall is traceable
for some forty miles-but not without
numerous breaks caused by the wash
ings and the accumulations Of ages
burying long stretches below the pres
mt surface Of the surrounding coun-
ry, but once the general direction is
liked the explorer has little trouble in
hiding where it next crops above the
surface. The average height Of the
wall above ground is only three or four
feet in the best exposed places, but
there is no telling how deeply imbed-
ded are the bottom layers. In some
| level stretches where the entire top Of
he wall Is still above the surface, it is
from ten to forty feet wide and as
solid as it could have been when first
| built. The stones average six feet long
hree feet wide and two feet thick, and
ire estimated to weigh from two to
,hree tons. They are roughly but accu-
rately squared and dressed and imbed-
| ded in as fine an article of cement as
any builder of the present century need
ever want to see. So tightly and firm
" are the great stones Joined together
that it requires considerable exertion
with pick and crowbar to loosen them
from their ancient beds.
1t is understood here that party of
archaeologists and other scientists are
preparing to visit Mississippi for the
purpose of exploring the old wall.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.
Fitting Close to Year Of Exceptional and
Unprecedented Activity.

Bradstreet's says: A fitting close
to year of exct ptional and in some
respects unprecedented activity is fur

large holiday business III the past week.
The best report as to this sort of trade
comes from the Southwestern section,
but, except in some parts of the spring
wheat and lumber belt Of the North
west, satisfactory advices are quite
general. Heavyweight clothing, too,
has been measurahly helped for the
same reason, but, despite good bust
ness in the last two weeks, Il Q ira g
has apparently lag, g Sc me what, ow-
ing to mild weather. In wholesale
trade, business has been of sea- opa b y
small proportions, but reports from
leading lines, such as ircn and steel.
shoes and leather, lumber, glass, and
spring dry goods, have been encourag-
ing, chiefly, of course, as regards the
views entertained as to the outlook
rather than as to new business actually
accomplished.
Speculation in cereals has been
light, and increases in supplies and
large surplus reports from the Argen.
tine Republic have still further de.
pressed the long inte' est IN wheat.

on par with those of year ago, and
American supplies are actually smallsr.

Remarkable Construction Found In q
Mississippi Comfy.
Those officials Of the State Of Mis-
sissippi who are charged with the re-
sponsible commission of superintend-
ing the construction Of the new capitol,
which is to cost S1,00O,OOO, have had
their attention called to very excel
lent article of stone which is said to
exist in inexhaustible quantities In an
old wall extending from near Raymond
in the southern portion Of Kinds Coun-
ty to Brandywine, in the county OF
Claiborne, some forty miles to the
southwest, and it is possible full In
vestigation will be made before any
contracts for the stone work for the
capitol is awarded.
The existence of this great wall has
been known for many years, but all
previous efforts to interest archaeolO
gists and other scientists have proved
futile, they having boo-hooed at the
idea of any such prehistoric wonder in
the great valley Of the Mississippi. But

COURTESY IN ONES HOME.
Observe Society's Rules and Chi1dre
Will Never Be Ill at Ease.

Observe Society's Rules and Children
Will Never Be Ill at Ease.
When we read of court functions in
foreign lands we notice that precedence
is thing determined by arbitrary laws
and should we spend season in Wash
ington we would learn that there are
certain conventional rules which govern
society and which cannot be violated
by any one, from the lowest to the high
est.
Precedence Is an anomaly in the sim
pie life of the ordinary home, yet it is
an open question whether the cheerful
contentment Of the simplest household
would not be increased if there wera
more formality in the daily intercourse
of parents and children. Politeness
would prevent much friction, for it is
inconsistent with politeness to squab-
BILE, to say disagreeable things, to be
brutally candid. Perhaps we do not
half consider how much politeness
saves us from as we go about among
our friends.
In home conversation precedents as
to right Of way should be with the ell
ders, says Good Housekeeping. Father
and mother, grown-up brothers and sis
tiers, guests should be allowed to ex-
press themselves and little people
should not be suffered either to inter
rupt or to carry on their talk in high
key so that the older persons can hardly
hear themselves speak.
One finds in otherwise well-bred cir
cles an amazing license accorded to the
children, in their continual breaking in
with queries or with information about
their own matters, nobody taking no
tice that they are learning to trample
on others by the practice Of speaking
first and speaking loudest. Wher
mother comes into a room, Hubert ani
Harriet should see that she has chair
1 can think of nothing ruder than the
figure of girl say 10, IL or 13 years

mother, or her father for that matter
looks about in vain for as desirable {
seat.
Boys are, of course, taught to rise an(
give seat to any lady who enters .

till woman is seated, but the rule il
often in allegiance to their own mother
and sisters. You may enter it on you
records as a rule without exception
that no one will ever be at ease in so
ciety who fails in the little daily ameni
ties in the home.
Only as we are most careful to insis
on perfect courtesy in our home life
can we expect that our children shal
appear to advantage when they step ol
the larger world-stage beyond thei
own doors.

than thirty miles has recently been dis.
covered. The coal is said to be of a

occur Is only twenty miles from the
