THE GIANTS GRAVE.
A Curiosity on the Island Of Rugen
That Interests Many Visitors.

mat interests MANY ViSlloTs'
The large island OF Rugen lies in
The Baltic sea northwest Of the port
Of Stettin ard close to the German
mainland. 1t uas large summer pop
ulation. as thousands Of visitors go
there for the sea baths.
The sea has played fast and loose
with Rugen and mas dug channels far
into the island. It has also made an
island of Rugen, which was part Of
the mainland till it was torn away by
the ravages OF the waves.
In the highest northeast part OF
tie island Is collection Of enormous
granite boulders brought there in the
great Ice Age, and piled on one an
other in strangely regular fashion
A passage was left partly through the
stone mound and one of the boulders
covered it. completely roofing it.
The NOR Is an object Of much in
Lerest to -.tors, both on account of
the manner in which it was forme'l
and also because iuany traditions re-
lating to it have been handed down
from past generations. Scientific
men say that the natural forces which
produced this stone heap did the work
in the later stone period and that the
mound must be at least 5000 or 10000
years old.
Tradition says that ages ago 1t was
the burial place of giant whose body
was laid in the passageway. The isl.
anders call it the "Hunengrab." or
Giants Grave. The story goes also
that prehistoric residents of the island
filled the passage with sacred objects
and that toward the end of the eigh-
teenth century this treasure house of
ancient curiosities was despoiled and
no one ever found what had become
of the relics.
Time has done It's work upon. the
enormous boulders. At the present day
the passage leading into the interior
of the mound Is partly choiied by the
debris that have fallen from the rocks;
and the rock that forms the roof has
PARTLY slipped from the position it
once occupied. In other respects, how.
ever, the Giants Grave is very well
preserved.

Numerous pits in the forest indi-

useful islands, but its inhabitants
know well that the sea IS constantly

to protect 1t the island will at some
future time entirely disappear.-NeW

BLONDE HAIR AND DARK.
Is the Color Token of Certain Men
tai Characteristics of Wearer?

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities of Lille, writes the Paris
correspondent of London Truth. Thus
the authenticated boys arc generally
at the head of the recitation classes
and the blonde girls learn their les
sons best Auburn boys and blonde
lasses como out highest as arithme-
ticians. But in composition they are
nowhere. The darli-haircd children Of
both sexes have the quality of imagina-
ton and in their compositions know
how not to fatigue the attention. They
have movement and originality. In
short, they seem, as compared to the
auburns and blondes, born stylists.
Now that | think OF it, Sarah Bern
hardt is, or was, auburn haired, and
Nine Bartet had light brown hair
twenty-five years ago-so light as to
be almost fair. | should not call the
late Nine Jacques Stern (Croizette) in
the heyday of her charms a blonde. But
that looked like heavy sheeny floss
silk, and the ruddiness that one asso-
ciates with auburn. Nine Samary was
also fair without being exactly
blonde.
dare say the auburn boys and
blonde lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are of Flemish, that is to say
phlegmatic, race. Their brains do not
grow at once congested when they
stasd IN u recite and for that reason
they keep the mastery of the vocal
organs. In short, they continue to know
what they are about. The dark chill
dren arc probably Of Celtic, that is to
say Gallo, origin. The blood comes
with rush to their brains, and they
grow confused, sputter, and break
down. If they could only be taught to
remain silent for few moments they
would Ge all tie letter for this rush, as
the confusion would have passed away,
leaving only stimulated mental organs.
Goldsmith, who was dark, always be-
gan by being confused in conversation.
O'Connell wore a black wig, but his
real hair in youth was auburn. recol-
lect very old people who heard him
plead in his prime speak OF it rs such.
His readiness was wonderful. But per-
haps lie might not have recitod so well
what somebody else had written.

Items o, Interest Gathered by Reporter
Correspondent.
The Institute opened Monday morn
ing at 900 o'clock sharp with very
enthusiastic gathering OF teachers
Much credit is due Supt. Morse for
the sympathetic manner in the
arrangement of the program.
An excellent spirit is manifested
among the teachers and instructors
and practical work is being done.
A. e. Falch, Celia and Stella En-
mons visited the Institute Wednesday.
One noticeable feature Of the InSti-
tute is the excellent attendance and
lack OF hardness.
Conductor G. Fl. Dietz gave an
interesting talk on SCHOOLS and
School Masters, both ancient and
modern. In closing he remarked that
there had been schools and school
masters but now there was an ex-
cellent opportunity offered the
teachers of Wood county to be the
best of schooI teachers. The oppor.
tunity offered was that of the Wood
County Normal Training School.
Inspector g. Fl. Drury inspected

FARMERS ARE
SATISFIED
Interviews with Farmers EStaE.
lish Fact Of Good Crops
This Year.
WARM DAYS AND MOIST
SOIL OF GREAT BENEFIT
Hay Crop Is a Record Breaker in
Some of the Surrounding
Towns.

Interviews with farmers from
different parts of Wood county the
past week have established the fact
that the crops this year will be a
success. Weather conditions do not
seem to effect all communities alike.
That which is favorable for farmers is
not necessarily welcome to the city
residents, and vice versa. We have
had number Of days when the
thermometer has registered from 80
to 95 degrees and the dust has been
almost unbearable, but on such
occasions our country cousins have
been in high glee. 1t is good weather
for corn and excellent for making hay.
The warm days and the moist soil
have been of great benefit to the
growing crops. The surface has been
baked to some extent, hindering
cultivation. Corn, especially during
the past few days, has been making
rapid strides. In some of the towns
barley and rye will prove an excellent
crop. The hay crop is record breaker.
Two tons to an acre is a good hay
crop, but as much as four and five
tons of the best clover has been taken
in favored localities.
The potato yield will be a better
one this year than last. All vege-
tables are doing nicely. Apple and
plum trees have promising appear
ance.
Considering the present prices, the
prospects of good crops, 1T is fair to
predict the burning of few farm
mortgages in celebrating next Thanks
giving day.

A Girl From Sweden.

at the Grand Opera House. Telling
as it does story purely of the great
Northwest, and dealing with the life
and affairs of a young Swede girl, it
should prove of interest to those who
are acquainted with the Scandinavian
types. 1t is a love story, but with no
mawkish sentimenJality. A clean
story, and, at the same time an anus
ing one, having not only Swede girl,
but typical Swede boy which fact
has given ChaS. w. Chase. the drama
fist, an opportunity TO weave around
them a delightful love story using the
events in their homely lives most
effectively to form play full of all
that is picturesque and attractive to
the lover of stage romance.
