GRAVES OF ANCIENT RACE.
Recent Floods I'm Tennessee Unearth
Remains Of People OF Pre-
historic Times.

Floods that prevailed in Tennessee
recently washed up what had been
called an old Indian graveyard. Sci
entists, however, who have given their
critical attention to the find are now
inclined to the opinion that 1t was the
resting place Of prehistoric men, the
mound builders, says scientific ex-
change.
The graves are very deep. The
green knoll under which they rested
gave no evidence of covering such
grewsome relics. There has been no
indication of graveyard in that To-
cality within the memory of the pres
ent inhabitants and no record OF 1t In
history. Before the food the field was
worth $50 an acre and produced IA
bales of cotton.
But this year the creek spread over
the bottoms as never before, causing
much destruction. The soil was swept
away in the torrent, and when the wa
ter finally receded there were left ex-
posed 10 graves. Some evidently were
the graves Of adults and some the
graves of children.
Now, these graves were evidently
not the remains Of Indians. They gave
evidence that the dead had been bur-
fed there with much care, while the
Indians were won't simply to wrap
blanket about the body and lay 1t IN q
shallow grave.

glowing account of roof garden per-

HOUSES OF GRASS.
HaAitstiens Of Indians In southern
Oklahoma Made Of SOD Cut
from the Prairie.


, The grass houses formerly built by
the Wichita Indians of southern Ok
lahoma are exceedingly interesting,
says the Chicago Daily News. The
grass is gathered early in the spring,
when IL is yet fresh. The sod cut
ting usually takes place Immediately
after rain, the sod being removed
70 a thickness of about eight. inches.
Buffalo grass sod is the only kind
4hat will answer the purpose Of the
builder. He commences to lay the
foundation as does the stone mason,
digging away the earth to q depth
of about one foot. The grass por-
uon Of the chunks of sod is laid to
the outside, and the house is built to
. height of IL to Is feet, in the form
Of pointed dome. There is no hole
In the top for the smoke to pass out,
the latter being carried away
through q pipe outside Of the hut.
The door IL usually In the south, and
there are no windows. Through each
tuft of sod is run a willow reed
string, and these strings are bound
clear around the structure. The
grass remains green, and will grow II
there is plenty of rain. 1t is not at
all uncommon to see the sides OF
these grass houses turn green as
spring approaches, just as do the
pastures near them. The houses are
very warm in winter and cool In
summer. They never leak.

~CARE-TAKERS AND CARE

the care taker is decidedly in dis.

is generally considered a first

L FOUNDATION.

Quite recently, in one OF me
great cities OF our Union. a mag
nificent public building, costing a
million dollars, collapsed, and fell
in a shapeless ruin before it was
quite completed or furnished.
Upon investigation. 1t was found
that when the foundation was be-
ing laid, to save a few dollars, ]
portion of an old wall was left as
a ground work for the structure.
With the pressure of the massive
stones placed upon it. the old
wall crumbled and the work of
months and many thousand dol
lars worth of materials were a
total loss. The building itself
was in no way faulty, but the
foundation was defective.
SO in every business, enterprise,
or professional career. a single
flaw or weak poiut in the founda-
ton will cause failure when least
expected. Ill-gotten gains, and
dishonorable, underhapd means,
even in petty business dealings,
are the crumbling walls that have
collapsed many a fair fortune and
brilliant prospects.
As a people, we are prone to
hurry from childhood to manhood,
and then rush to become rich, re-
gardless of means or principle.
A chronic see saw in social and
fnadcial status from generation
TO generation is the consequence.
!, Another fruitful source of fail
ure is found in the defective train
ing to business habits, and the
early education OF the youth OF
our land. Technical and profes'

foundation. Sometimes it is the
parent. sometimes the teacher, or
again the individual himself, that
