Fancy Matinee.

The ~ncy matinee is always in de
mand, but especially SO during the
warm months, when every form OF
negligee is much to be desired. This
one is graceful, attractive and becon
ing, and can be made either from
plain material or from ribbon held
by bands of insertion. AS shown
white lawn is simply trimmed with
Valenciennes lace, but both the Pom
padour and striped ribbons make ex
ceedingly charming effects and the
model is so designed that they can be
used with perfect success. In addi
ton to serving for the always needed
breakfast jacket, the matinee be
comes a most desirable garment fol

Regensburg, following the example
of several French communities, will
offer premiums to mothers who agree
to suckle their own children This
will be done to reduce the awful 4 )r-
tality among infants, which may De
traced, in part, to artificial nourish
ment. The chief of the municipality
passing upon the bill, said, Mon
nursing mothers may be divided in
three categories: Those that do not
want to nurse their babies, those that
are physically unable to, and those
whom their duties prevent from suck
ling their children. The premiums
are for the latter class of women;
mothers shall be enabled to give UP
their employment for time in order
to devote themselves entirely to their
SabIes."

tail, loosely coiled in three rings.
The body also is bent in several not
ungraceful loops It extends in a
generally north and south direction.
The air line distance from the ex-
IRENE end of the oval ring to the
outermost ring of the tail is about
500 feet, but If the figure could be
pulled out straight it's length Tin
Guiding the oval object near the
head) would be 1885 feet, or fully a
quarter Of mile! At the largest
part of the body the width is twenty
feet, but the tail is only four or five
feet wide. The height varies from
four to six feet The oval embank-
ment measures 100 feet in length
the longest way, from outside edge
to outside edge. The interior di-
mansions are eighty-six by thirty
feet.
The site of this singular construc-
ton is the top of plateau that
rises abruptly to height of at least
100 feet at the north end where the
head isl, and the difference in ele-
walton above the surrounding coun-
try is nearly the same on the sides.
There is evidence that streams ex-
listing either now or at some time in
the past carved out this colossal al
tar.
The serpent mound of Ohio was
first discovered by Squier and Davis
In 1S45, who described it in report
to the Smithsonian Institution. Its
preservation is due to the activity of
Professor F. w. Putnam, of Boston,
and the generosity of Miss Alice
Fletcher, of the same city, who fur
nished the money to purchase the
land and create park. The place
was not properly cared for, however,
and at the suggestion of E. o. Ran
dali, secretary of the Ohio State Ar
Genealogical and Historical Society,
the custody of the park was wisely
Entrusted to that organization. Mr..
Randall has recently written book
on the subject, and it is from that
publication that the accompanying il
lustration is taken.
Another effigy of the same kind
was discovered years ago in Canada
not far from Toronto. 1t is called
the Otonabee serpent mound, because
because it is situated in Otonabee
County. Professor David Boyle, OF
Toronto, says that excavation in the
Canadian mound revealed two skele-
tons in sitting posture, besides ex'
ira arm and leg bones, a skull and
the teeth of dogs or wolves. The
head Of the Otonabee serpent points
to the eastward, and there is a rep
resentation of an egg opposite the
open mouth. Similar formations
(but possibly without the egg) are
known to exist at Mayville, Greer
Lake, Madison, Patosi and othel

of all lengths, terminating just below
the elbows.
The waist Is made with front and
backs, the backs being tucked from
the shoulders to the belt, while the
front is tucked to the yoke depth
only! There is a regulation collar at
the neck and the closing is made in
visibly at the back. The sleeves are
simply full, gathered into bands.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and one
fourth yards twenty-one, three yards
twenty-seven or one and seven-eighth
yards forty-four inches wide, with two
and one-half yards of insertion TWO
inches wide.

inexpensive Trimming.

An inexpensive mode of trimming
a summer gown for her whose time
is not a marketable product is the
use of tiny gathered ruchings ar
ranged in festoons or otherwise on
skirt and bodice. The material is
cut about two inches wide, hemmed
on both sides, gathered through the
middle, and sewed on in any pre-
ferred design with very decorative
effect. The narrowest of lace sewed
to each edge adds to the daintiness of
the trimming.

Rlue and White Suit.

A shirt waist suit of blue and W hite
striped material is so put together
that the color of the half-inch stripe
forms the trimming, and the result is
very pleasing. The ruffle around the
bottom of the skirt is laid il pleats
with the blue stripe on top, stitched
down little way, so that the effect
is of a blue band heading fluffy
blue and white rufIle. The same ides
is carried out on short sleeve and al
the neck, while the belt is formed
by laying the fulness of the waist il
pleats. A very simple costume, but
an effective one.

Good Type of American Boy.

Eddie league, of New Portland,
Me-, who is eleven years old and
weighs seventy-one pounds, is one
of the country boys such as were
common in the days of our fathers.
Young league started from his
fathers camp on a recent morning
with a yoke of oxen attached to a
sled, which in turn was followed by
a horse and sled. The outfit was
bound for New Portland, sixteen
miles away. The oxen became freed
from the sled on the way, but the
young teamster left the sled beside
the road and drove on. 1t was we'll
along into the evening when he
brought his charges into the settle

THE SERPENT MOUND.
Strange Construction by Prehistoric
People in Ohio.

strange OOuSCruCClOH ny 1FFAAStOIAC
People in Ohio.
One of the races that occupied this
country before it's settlement by the
white man was known as the mound
builders, on account of the huge
heaps of earth they left in the re-
gion where they dwelt, and which
were in many cases (if not always)
places of burial. Practically all of
these mounds were round, or nearly
so. Something highly exceptional,
however, was left in Adams County,
Ohio, where it still exists, the land
on which it stands having been pur-
chased and reserved on account of
its historical interest.
This strange object is mound
which was evidently intended to rep
resent a serpent. At one end there
Is what looks like pair of widely
distended jaws, just beyond which is
an elliptical wing, probably signify
ing an egg. At the other end is a

places in Wisconsin, and at least one
has been found in Illinois.
Mr.. Randall discusses at much
length the possible significance of the
form of these mounds. The serpent
was an object of worship by many
ancient nations, though it is not
easy to understand how such ideas
could have been imported into Amer
lea in the days when ocean transpor-
tation was dangerous. Yet there
seems to be probability that they
did get here, and had some inf1u-
ence on the usages of the early in
habitants of the continent. - New
