PETRiFiED HEAD IN LOG.
Remarkable Find Reported In Penn.
sylvania Mountains.

While George Woodward was run
ming a saw mill In the mountains OF
Adams county, Pennsylvania, he dis
covered the petrified head and neck
Of q human being imbedded in 6 large
oak log. Woodward removed the
head and has shipped 1t to DR.. G. w.
Tate of Altoona, for examination. The
head was of perfect proportions, the
features being preserved to the
minutest detail in the body Of the
wood.
Ears. nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows
and even the lines of the face were
plainly visible. The unusual color of
the face was the only thing which de-
tracted from its lifelike appearance.
The tree was cut near Lewis, the
robbers ave. 1t is supposed that
the head belonged to one Of the vic
Tins of this noted outlaw, who in
early times was the terror of the
mountain-side.
Lewis, the robber, committed many
murders along the old Sh~lppensburg
road. Numerous expeditions were
sent against him. but, retreating to
his impregnahle stronghold In the
Wilds of the South mountain, he al.
ways successfully resisted attack.

CURIOS OF ETRUSCA
INTERESTING COLLECTION NOW
IN SMITHSONIAN.
Dainty Ornamental Safety Pins Among
the Relics Of Many Centuries
Aeo-Desisns Are as Fine
as Those of To-Day.

An exceedingly interesting collec.
ton of Etruscan curios is being
placed on exhibition for the first
time in the Smithsonian institution.
All those who think that hair pins,
pins TO keep garments in place when
the buttons are gone, safety pins,
tweezers and articles for the mani.
cure table are of modern invention
should examine these relics, dating
back 1000 and 5000 years.
The modern safety pin is a poor
affair when viewed beside the dozen
or more varieties brought from
Etruria. The most ornate were OBJ
tanned in chiusi, the ancient Clusi-
UNI, city of Macaulay's Lars Porsena,
who was so versatile in the fine art
of swearing that his name is immor-
tai. The men of Clusium used the
safety pin with as much ease as their
womankind. Some of the long
bronze articles could keep the heav-
lest blanket in place and some were
undoubtedly to keep the trappings
of horses in order. Others are so
delicate and finely wrought in sill
yer, gold and bronze. that their own
ers must have been far advanced in
the art of looking pretty. Some are
of twisted wire, looking very much
like the modern filigree brooch, with
rings and ornaments pending, just as
they do now from the bangle bracelet
of the modern belle. The savants
at the Smithsonian think that some
dozen or more of these dainty pins
were used to confine the loose flowing
robe of the Etrusean grande dame.
Then here are long slender safety
pins, much like those in use in every
civilized home of the world. There
are heavy coarse looking bronze pins
evidently for slaves and poor people,
but the bellies in Etruria, in the year
1900, B. c., had as fine wrought and
graceful brooches and toilet aids as
the woman who patronizes the most
renowned Partisan goldsmith.

APPENDICITIS.

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago a farmer put his inl-
tials on a dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
In six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got II. back four
years ago. He sent 1t to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will neve build or
brighten any of the homes of the com
munity. He sent 1t entirely out of
the circle of usefulness to himself and
his neighbors.
