AN ANCIENT INDIAN J03.
Rare Specimen of Crockery Recently
Discovered in the State of
New York.

R. Horracks. Of Fonda, n. Y. while
stalking deer during the last hunting
season at the Little Falls of the upper
waters of the Sacondaga, near Lake
Piseco, caught in a heavy downpour
of rain, was obliged to seek shelter
from the storm under the lodges Of the
| Little Falls. While sitting there his
attention was attracted to what seemed
to be a round, brown boulder partly
covered with moss. Carelessly strik-
ing it il gave forth hollow sound. his
curiosity being excited, he dug away
the earth with his hunting knife and
soon laid bare a symmetrically formed
earthen jar.
The jar stands ten inches high. Al
its largest circumference it measures
30 inches, and at its smallest 20 inches.
The circumference of the top or mouth
of the jar is "a inches.
The vessel on the inside bears signs
of use, but the outside shows no trace
of fire, as is usual in Indian jars. The
bottom is rounded. The ornamental.
ton around the top is of the usual
style of the Mohawk pottery-that is.
a series of straight and diagonal lines.
The jar still bears the moss that had
gathered on the rounded bottom that
was exposed above the earth.
The jar is a well preserved specimen
of Mohawk pottery, and is rare on ac-
count of the shape of the top, which Is
cut in three curves. forming three
points, which give it triangular ap.
pearance.
1t is a singular fact that the three
largest specimens of Indian pottery
now in the valley were found in the
lake region of the foothills of tho
Adirondacks-th Richmond jar, the
Hanson jar and the Horracks jar.
The Horracks jar is in the possession
of w. Max Reid for the present and Is
an interesting study. 1t is not as large
as the Hanson jar, but to those inter-
ested in the life and affairs of the
original Americans" is of equal value.

PRINCESS AS A HOUSEWIFE.
She of Wales Knits Husbands Socks
and Sees That He Wears
Them.

Like her mother before her, the
princess of Wales is a first rate house
keeper, and though she is a very busy
woman socially, there are but a few
things in the management Of her
household which she does not under
stand and many which she personally
superintends
The princess has no liking for sit
ting with idle hands, and she is never
without some sort of needlework. She
socks, but sees that he wears them.
Once, for instance, when the prince,
after a long days shooting. returned
home tired and wet the princess was
having her tea and the sportsmen
were all quite ready for theirs, but
careful wife that she is-the princess
would not give her husband any until
he had changed his wet boots and
stockings, and he, though laughing and
protesting. had to do her bidding.
The princess is an excellent mother,
and both she and the prince are very
anxious that their children should be
brought up on the simplest lines Fos-
sible When they are at York cottage
they have their little ones with them a
great deal, says Home Notes.
Formerly the hall was constantly
used by the small princes. One day,
however, visitor fell over hoop be-
longing to Prince Edward, and now
the children have special play room
of their own.

Bark of Seouoias.

CALIFORNIA; giant trees, the sequoias,
thousands of years old, have been pre-
served to this day because of their
enormously thick bark From time to
time, in the course OF ages, forest
fires have swept through the big tree
lands, destroying everything. yet only
scorch;ng for couple of inches depth
or so the almost fireproof bark. The
flames having carbopized that much OF
the lark, could not penetrate farther,
for the carbonized portion formed an
absolutely freproot covering for the
remainder of the interior bark.

HUNGRY DREAM OF FOOD.
Explorers in the Antarctic Tell
Strange Stories of Their
Experience.

Food dreams" superinduced by ex-
! treme hunger and the difficulties that
attend the advent of Morpheus in the
Antarctic regions, are very interesting
reading, and from the account OF the
voyage of the Discovery to the Ant
arctic is extracted the following data:
I'm the journey to the south, in
which we were absent three months
from the ship" says Edward A. Will
, son, NJ. B., writing in the British
Medical Journal, "our food allowance
was for some six weeks a bare pound
and half to each man daily. On this
allowance hunger never left us and
sleep was much disturbed by dlsap-
pointing food dreams-sirloins of beef
and steaming caldrons of cabbage and
potato, ball suppers, stuffed turkeys
and splendid hams, and walters flying
around with plates full for everybody
else, but, shout as one might, one
could not get attended to, and then
one awoke and remained awake in
ones sleeping bag for hours from
sheer hunger and healthy appetite, to
wait for a breakfast of boiled rice and
the crumbs of one and half biscuits
fried in the fat of a thin slice of
bacon.
Then four hours hauling on the
sledges and cold lunch of dried chips
of seal meat. eight Jumps of sugar and
a biscuit Then three more hours of
hauling on the sledges or, worse still,
of driving on the dogs, and a final
camp for the night on pannikin of

OLD-TIME RUSSIAN REPUBLIC
Genuine Republicanism Obtained with
Everyone on Equal
Footing.

1t is not generally known that the
revolutionists, bent on making Russia
a republic, are grounding their belief
that the Muscovites will accept this
form of government on the fact that
at one time there were a number OF
republics in the present absolute en-
pire. Chief among them, says the CouN
rier-Journal, was the republic of Now
gorod, embracing the immense territory
from the White sea and Dvina to the
Volga and the Sea of Peipus Other
republics were the states of Pskoff,
Vjatka and others. They lost their In
dependence at the end of the fifteenth
century to the grand duke Of Moscow.
In these Russian republics of old
real republicanism obtained, accordinR
to the propaganda literature Of the
revolutionists, now scattered broadcast
over Russia. The poorest citizen had

polls decided all questions of interior
and foreign affairs. When an otiieisl

WORRY OF LEARNED MEN.
The Electern Hypothesis a Source
of Much Concern to
Electricians.

1t apparently matters much to the
professors what matter is. Prot.
Wind, of the University Of Utrecht, en-
pounds the electern theory, which may
mean revolutions. 1t is pointed out
that If by progress of experiment and
theory the electern hypothesis In Ito
ultimate form should continue to gain
ground, If it finally should prove un
avoidable to accept the view that mat
ter consists entirely Of electrons, mass
and momentum would cease to Be
what they now are in our ideas. guam
titles strictly invariable. The predA
lection and confidence with which set
ence has for centuries aimed at a de
scription of the physical universe In
terms only of matter and motion were
based chiefly, though half unconscious
", on the idea of mass and momentum
being tnvariable, images or pictures ot
invariable elements of reality itself
This idea, says the Chicago Tribune
fundamental to our whole mechanical
conception of nature, would shrink int
an illusion in the light OF the new
theory. A great advantage would BE-
that whereas 1t now seems almost
hopeless to involve electromagnetic
phenomena In a description in terms
only Of matter and motion, the unity
desired In our picture OF the physical
world would then be secured by putting
1t in terms of electerns and motion.

terfor spot holder has shown his ability to take care of his own property. the good prices obtained for cotton the past four years having emancipated and placed him in an independent position. which Is being most forcibly demonstrated in more ways than one. The nearer we approach the date of the cotton convention to be held here on the 24th, 25th and 2sth more interest seems to be taken In the movement. Ac- cording to the press advices as many as twenty-five delegates have been appointed by the Governor of Mississippi from every county in the State who will also attend official business permitting. There may be 5000 representative men in attendance com posed of State Governors. bankers, mer- chants and farmers. New York Is constd- ering this as a bullish feature already, and the binding resolutions to be adopted Will most likely make a decided impression upon the cotton world. especially upon European spinners if such a radical reduction of Is or 20 per cent. in acreage Is advocated and agreed upon and at the present moment the consensus of opinion in tho South is that a cut of 2b per cent. should be the sense or the convention. The course of the market in the meantime will be hard to judge, as there is no telling how the movement will run no idea of what exporters have to buy to fill commitments and there is no concep, ton to be had of what the census report will show ginned to the l6th inst, all or which will be factors before the expiration of the current month Spots closed steady and unchanged: Sales 3,lo0 bales; to arr rive, 1.75o; middlins, 6.
