To Plouqh Up the MISSOURI.


The only way to control the Missouri
River is to plough 1t up. THAT is
the opinion of C. Eacrett, of Strahan
La, who has unburdened his mind on
the subject of the improvement OF
that incorrigible stream, which has
been bothering him for years.
Mr. Eacrett's plan is to plough up
the bottom of the river, and the cur
rents created thereby will do the
rest, he says, toward securing outS a
channel in which boats of the heavf
est draught might navigate.
The Congressional committees hSd
never thought Of this before and
the new inland waterways commits
sion, which just organized today, may
take up the idea for consideration
more or less seriously.
The Eacrett idea, to go more into
detail, is to construct a boat of light
draught, fitted out with implements
something like a lister" plough
which is the kind USED on big farms
of the west, to be fastened on long
beams that could be raised and low
cred from the stern of the boat The
boats are to ply up and down the
river, stirring up the mud and sand
thus allowing the currents to clean
it out and make a well defined chap

Good Manners.

Unselfishness is truly the founda-
ton OF good manners, but not the SUI
perstructure. Many conventions, re-
strictions have grown about social
relations. Some can be explained b.
the demand of kindness and some
cannot. Could child infer from his
desire to help others that he should
not eat with his knife? .1any Of
lenses against good taste interfere in
some way with the rights Of others,
but many others do not.
Still, no set of rules to produce a
polished lady will achieve a result
fit for the strain OF life. The man
ners .ofs the French boarding school
may adorn the ballroom, but are too
likely to fail at the breakfast table
or in the crowded car. The woman
OF perfect manner must reinforce
her unselfishness by social rules, and
conventionality must be vitalized by
the warm desire of others pleasure.
The best Of life never comes natur-
ally, whether in manners or morals.
The secret of charming manners is
the desire for them. When the moth
er wishes them for her daughter as
much as she wishes the other goods
OF the world her daughter will have
them.-New Haven Register.

Prehistoric Remains in Mexico.

For the last two weeks Mr.. Leo
pold Batres has been excavating one
of the small artificial hills to the
southeast of the Pyramid of the Sun.
This is one of the tumun that form
the row OF the Street of the Dead.
Here have been discovered a number
of rooms which ere apparently part
OF an ancient temple, with rooms and
patios. Below these, stairways lead
to large room some thirty-five feet
in length. Apparently there are 9TH
er rooms on this level connected with
one another.
These are the first snbterranean
houses that have so far been found.
in the valley, and they show that in
this buried city the houses were two
and three stories high. The upper
stories had been destroyed by fire,
but the lower remained untouched,
and upon them there still remains the
red paint which was the .characteris-
tic color of Teotihuacan.
Among the interesting things
found is the skeleton of a man sup
posed to have been one of the an
Gent Toltec kings. Beside the hui
man skeleton was that of a tiger, and
both were painted red. In addition
to these there were also found large
quantities of sea shells, obsidian
beads, jade and obsidian idols, knives,
snakes and polished stone masks rep
resenting heroes who lived three
thousand years ago. Many spiral
shells were also encountered which
had holes drilled through them, show
ing that they had been used as beads.
They were beautifully polished.
Many copper, bronze, chichehuite
and perite objects were also found
among the others, showing that the
dead man must have been Of great
Importance in his day. Many of
these were beautifully polished and

Bees Fill Maple Tree With Honey


While men were trimming large
