WoRkMEN FIND A BIRD sroNE.s
Fine Specimen Of Prehistoric Relic

Fine Specimen Of Prehistoric Relic
Unearthed at Streator, III.
A fine specimen Of the prehistoric
bird stone" was unearthed at Streat.
or, Ill.,, by workmen employed by the
Chicago & Alton railroad. 1t Is i've
and a half inches long and an inch
and a half high, and psychologists
have pronounced 1t a magnificent
specimen.
A bird %stone," while Of the unde.
fined class of prehistoric ornaments
or charms which have been called
"ceremonials," represents stone age
art of no mean degree. This speci.
men is finely finished and polished
and is extraordinary in it's workman
ship, gracefulness and beauty. 1t rep.
resents, perhaps, the highest achieve
ment Of prehistoric American art.
Many theories regarding the use
made Of bird stones" are fanciful. 1t
has been asserted that they were
worn by married Indian women.
Again, it is claimed that bird stones
were worn by Indian conjurers, and
still another guess is that they were
bound to the prows of canoes. 1t has
also been guessed that they were en-
ployed in playing a game; that they
were totems Of tribes and clans, and
that they were talismans in some way
connected with the hunt for water
fowl.
This bird stone" unearthed by the
Chicago & Alton engineers must have
been hammered or pecked into shape,
and afterward ground to its present
form, and then polished diligently, for
1t is nearly as smooth as glass. Con-
sideration of the then existing con-
ditions demonstrates the difficulty OF
making the object and the dexterity
and workmanship required.

About Frightening Children.

II a child is constitutionally nerv-
Gus. says the American Journal of
Health, IL is no use to think that IL

ment, to, in many cases only intensi-
fies the terror which children often
feel If left alone in the dark, and gives
definite expression to fears which are
purely imaginary. Many people argue
that a child who is afraid to be left
alone or to go into a dark room ought
to be made to do either of these
things in order to find out that no
harm will come to him. Now. chill
dren are seldom really afraid unless
they have been made SO, and It is a
curious fact that the most timid child
shrinks from disclosing his fears to
anyone. In such a case someone has
certainly warned him that worse
things will happen IL he dares to dis
close the reason Of his alarm. Very
often 1t is the simplest. thing which
has been made to appear 20 terrible

6trasburg's Astronomical Clock.

The celebrated astronomical clock OF
Strasburg is in the minister, or cathe-
dral. and was originally designed by
an astronomer named Isaac Habrecht,
in the early part of the sixteenth CEN
fury. Previous to this time, in fact as
early as 1854, Strasburg had an as
Economical clock. 1t was in three
parts. The lower part had a universal
calendar, the central part an astro-
labe. and in the upper division were
figures Of the three Magi and the Vir-
gin. At every hour the Magi came
forward and bowed to the Virgin: at
the same time a chime was played, and
a mechanical cock crew. This clock
Of the Magi, as it was called, stopped
in the early part of the sixteenth cen
fury. and was replaced by a clock
made by Habrecht, which ran until
1888. when it stopped, and all at
tempts to put it's works in order
failed. In 1888 a clockmaker named
Schwilgue undertook to remodel the
internal machinery. and finished it in
1912.

Vineland Family's Many Misfortunes

The extraordinary ill-fortune that
has followed William Cromwell and
his family of Vineland, N. j., for the
past several months has aroused the
sympathy of the entire community.
Monday the climax was apparently
reached when Mrs. Cromwell fell
down stairs and injured her spine so
badly that Mr.. Cromwell had to give
up his position to be with his family.
First Mrs. Cromwell spent nine weeks
in a Philadelphia hospital; then a son.
Melvin, had his collarbone broken at
school. Mr.. Cromwell was then bit
ten by a mad dog, which sent him to
the Pasteur Institute at Baltimore for
several weeks. Next a daughter.
Mabel. had ar arm broken at school,
and a son, Oliver, received a fracture
of the skull by being struck by a train
on the Central Railroad. He had just
returned from the hospital when
Mabel was taken i'll with diphtheria.-

THE GAME OF GOLF.
How Exercise May be Dangerous for
AGED Beginners.

The sneer that golf is a game
only for those not agile and venture
some enough for games Of greater
danger has long ago faded from gor
criticism, and now 1t has actually
come to pass that golf is arraigned as
a game dangerous for men who may
be described as aged" 1t is said
that If a man all through his life has
followed sedentary habits, allowing
his muscles to become weak and
flabby, particularly those muscles in
the region of the heart, golf may very
easily prove too severe a strain for
his system. But in the pages OF a
golf. journal this view is partially criti-
cised by one who did not begin the
game till he was very ear the neigh
borhood of sixty. He declares that it
is a matter of beginning gently, and
he tells us that in his own cas- he
does not find two rounds a day par
ticularly exhausting. At the same
time he confesses that he has always
been an enthusiast for outdoor exer-
else, and is inclined to think that for
a man who has never taken physical
exercise-rather a rare experience
1t may be a little e~xhausting to begin
doing it at first, but, unfortunately, SO
attractive Is the game that the oldest
beginners are tempted to go In for it
rather more vigorously than is wise.
The result of all this latest pother
seems to be that like everything else
in life 1t is wisdom at the outset to
'go slow" and this Is a verdict that
'aged beginners" should lay to heart
