A Relic of Prehistoric Times.

When the white ren first pene-
trated the interior of this continent
they found at various points great
earthworks which they believed to
be relics of a former civilization that
had disappeared. 1t was long a pop
ular belief that here was civiliza-
ton that equalled that of ancient
Egypt, that people which had attained
a degree Of culture far higher than
that of the Indians who lived in this
region, and had left behind them
these monuments, which only the
work of long time could destroy and
efface. All this is now believed not
to be true The Investigations of
utnam, Thomas, Brinton and host
of other ethnologists point to the con-
clusion that the mounds and other
earthworks that have stimulated
the public Imagination were built by
Indi.ns, people not unlike those
whom we have known in the historic
period, and the evidence points
strongly toward the ancestors of
tribes still existing. Although great
numbers Of these earttworks have

the Flowery Kingdom he felt his
thirst beyond his power to control,
so, going into prosperous store

evidence, he asked for his particular
drink. Mr.. John Chinaman replied
by asking:

Mine Model in Glass.

A New York company is engaged,
among other things, in the manufac-
ture of models of mine workings of
exceedingly new and novel construc-
ton. These models are made OF
glass, and by the process followed
they ere enabled to reproduce in
solid glass to an accurate scale all
the underground workings and sur
face features of miner of any char
acter. According to the Scientific
American the models are constructed
of thic., sheets of clear white glass,
laid one upon another, and bolted to-
gether, thus forming unit. The
underground workings of the mine
are excavated rom the glass, and all
drifts, shafts, slopes, wines, up
raises, crosscuts, etc., are shown as
miniature excavations exactly as they
exist in the mine. The top of the
model, representing the surface of
the ground above the mine, Is cut to
accurately represent the Topographic
cal features of the surface. Future
workings can be added to the model
as the development Of the mine pro-

When a man has lived to be 70
years old with a 40-year-old habit

But occasionally the spirit of youth

House Gown.

The house gown that is made with
the slightly open neck and elbow
sleeves is the favorite one of fashion,
and is so ideally comfortable that it
appeals to the woman of practical
mind as well as to the one who seeks
for novelty and smartness. This one
is eminently simple at the same time
that it is absolutely graceful and can
be made from a variety of materials.
For the cool weather challie, CASH
mere, albatross and soft silks are all
appropriate, while for immediate wear
muslins can be utilized. In the illus
tration ring dotted batiste is trimmed
with banding of embroidery, but
there are as many trimmings as there
are materials, so that every oppor-
tunity Is offered for the exercise of
individual preference.
The gown is made with the fronts,
backs and under-arm cores. Both
fronts and backs are gathered, and
the backs are pleated to give Wat
teau effect, after which they are
joined to narrow yoke. The sleeves

but the digging of exploring parties
has reduced it to sixty-seven. The
base measures some 500 feet in cir
cumference. Years ago shaft was
sunk into the top, but the workmen
were frightened from their work by
peculiar hollow sound which came
up from below. 1t was feared that
the interior of the mound contained
a hollow chamber like the one at
Grave Creek, and might possibly cave
In. In 1869 second party dug down
to the base, where they found soli-
tary skeleton in sitting posture fac
ing the east. The bones were allowed
to remain undisturbed and the shaft
was filled up.
At the time of its discovery the
mound was found to be covered with
forest trees. Most of these were
cleared away and an orchard planted,
but of late years the forest is once
more retaining it. This mound has
always been an object of interest for
visitors, and representative j. c.
Myers made strenuous efforts to in
duce the State to purchase the fam
GUS relic, but without success, and 1t
still remains a neglected relic of a
vanished race.-Clarence A. Vande-

"Dcad" Leaves Not Dead.

Leaves do not fall from the tree
because they are "dead"-which we
may take as equivalent to saying be-
cause they are no longer receiving
the constituents Of their being from

consequence of a process OF growth
which developes just at the junction
of the leaf-stem with the more per-

corklike cells which have very little

are all allowable.
For vegetables. give baked pota
toes after child is two years Old,
but not before. Peas, asparagus tops,
spinach, string beans, boiled onions,
stewed celery, all well and properly
cooked in season and fresh, may also
be given without danger of injury.
All cereals should be well cooked

Mrs. Cortelyou old.Fashioned.

Persons who 'view with alarm"
the young woman of today, progress
sive to the point even of asking
young men If they wouldn't like to
marry, point to the wife of Post
master General Corteiyou as an ex-
ponent of the old school, and from
whom the debutante might take a
hint or two that would be much to
her advantage. Her first considera-
ton is home, and no pressure of So
cial duties can make her change the
routine which was established in the
early days of her married life. Mrs.
Certelyou has no patience with that
kind of women designated as ''paper-
bag housekeepers," which term gives
a terse description of the situation
of this cookless, kitchenless age.
Hers Is home where everything is
prepared on the premises. This
charming and talented woman pre-
serves her own fruit, pickles, and
the dainties which serve as relishes
on her table throughout the year,
and even puts up" vegetables, which
takes the place of the timed goods
used ordinarily. Bakers bread" Is
never brought into her household,
nor any Of the bakers cake which
belongs to the paper-bag system of
living. While Mrs. Cortelyou, like
most women in official life, must de-
pend on caterers to provide most of
the fare at a formal dinner, she can
cook a meal which would be delight
to those cynics who say that paper
bag, oil stove, and chatting dish fod

termination of the race.-New York

Separate Waist Liked.

Scarcely anything but members Of
the linen family, or, at least, wash
materials, are being worn for street
and morning gowns and the heavy
skirt and lingerie waist seems to
have fallen beneath the hammer of
the artist-writer, whose sensitive soul
was Jared by it's unfitness. In for
eign watering places, however, this
separate waist is still extremely we'll
liked, although the skirt with which
1t is worn usually shows some very
strong note of harmony even if it is
not of its own color

A THREECoRNEREp TEAR.

A three-cornered tear is a nasty
thing to mend neatly. If it comes
where there is no strain or wear
whatever it may be best darned by
simply sewing the edges together
with a plain ''in-and-out" or adapted
''herringbone' stitch. If the tear is
near seam and there is some wear
on the part, put square patch on
the outside, haste it neatly on, put
ting one side into the seam, stitch
it on with the sewing machine close
to the edge and cut away the goods
underneath, leaving just enough tc
overcast. This will be less OBJ
noxious patch than the old-fashioned
one run underneath with the worn or
torn goods hemmed down on the out
side.
