A REMARKABLE RELIC.
Musical Weapon Dug Up by a
Farmer While Flowing.

William Shipley, we'll known farm
er of Waynesville, near Bloomington,
Ill, has in his possession a remarkable
relic Of prehistoric man which he dug
up on his farm while blowing recently,
says the Chicago Record-Herald. 1t is
a large sized spear Of pure copper. The
metal is highly tempered and when sus-
pended by a cord gives forth a clear
ringing sound when struck by some
metal instrument.
1t is said that the relic points to one
of the lost arts. 1t has but one counter
part and that in an eastern museum.
The former is quite slender, and as one
end is tapering it is presumed that it
was fashioned to fit into a handle Of
wood The head of the weapon is three
inches broad and, hurled by man Of
strength, would make a wound that
could not help but prove fatal.

Tips on Monkey Talk.

Professor r. L. Garner, who has de-
voted seventeen years to the study OF
monkey language, while visiting his
son, Harry E. Garner, at Baltimore
said: The entire vocabulary of the
chimpanzee embraces about twenty
five to fifty words. During my re-
searches 1 have learned ten of these
words, so that | can understand them
and make myself understood by them.
In tone, pitch and modulation the
sounds are within the compass Of the
human voice, but two of the sounds
are much greater in volume than it is
possible for the human lungs to reach"
''Ecgk," according to the professor, is
monkey for Look out" and "Cheny'

UGLIER THAN LINCOLN.
Characteristic AneCdote of the
Famous War President.

A very characteristic anecdote of
President Lincoln was told by the late
Rev. William Hastings, who took great
pleasure in telling it in spite of the fact
that it was rather unf1attering to him
self, says Youth.
"Back in the SIXTIES" the minister
used to tell, when was a chaplain in
the army, was on a train one day
when a tall and angular stranger arose
from his seat, came over to where |
sat and handed me an old fashioned
pocketknife. Much astonished, l asked
what he meant.
"The tall man, who, 1 soon learned,
was President Lincoln, said: Keep 1t.
You are entitled to it. Years ago that
knife was presented to me, with the
request that if 1 ever saw an uglier
man than myself l was to give II to
him"

VALUE OF MENTAL SCIENCE.
How Mrs. Roosevelt Endures
Great Fatigue.

Mrs Roosevelt cannot be classed
with adherents of mental science, but
she has contided to her friends that she
is able to smilingly endure intense
physical fatigue, and without apparent
effort, by following few suggestions
of that cult, says a Washington special
to the Chicago RecordHerald.
During a recent week, which was one
of phenomenal brilliancy, the mistress
of the White House received and con-
versed with nearly 5000 persons. In
consequence the cabinet women were
nearly Frustrated by their exertions,
which were much less than Mrs. Roose-
velt's.
Mrs. Roosevelt says that when she
first went to Albany an old friend gave
her the following directions: Compel
yourself to become interested in your
surroundings, and your bodily exertion
will be forgotten. Do not think how
long you have been standing or how
much your hand pains from too much
contact with your guests. Try to think
if you have ever met these people be-
fore. See how many you can remember.
Even try to note the gowns and if you
think them becoming. Get yourself in
terested, and you will forget all about
the fatigue"
This mental remedy for physical over
exertion is attracting much attention
from women in official life. 1t has
