CULTURE STUDY IN \. D.
Peabody Museum Publishes Results of
Explorations In Mandan Villages
by George Will.

The following is from the report
of David G. Lyon, curator of the Pea
body museum at Harvard college,
which is published in the official
register of the college:
During the past year the museum
has issued one of its serial papers,
The Mandans, A Study of Their Gull
ture, Archaeology and Language, by
G. H. Will and H. ]. Spinden. The
archaeological section of this paper
is based on the exploration at Man.
dan, N. D., carried on by the authors
last summer. The material collected
which is now in the museum, is de-
scribed and illustrated. The study Of
Mandan culture and language was
made under the supervision of Assist
ant Professor Dixon, who also SUI
perintended the beginning of the field
work. This exploration and publica-
ton were made possible by the gift
of Clarence B. Moore.
The name of H. J. Spinden appears
among the list of instructors as an
assistant in anthropology.

increased to ftfty-five years.
That provision be made for the is-
suance of ten, fifteen and twenty year

GEESE ALARMED THE TowN.
Wild Fowl, Driven to Earth, Aston.

One CT those peculiar freaks of the
elements that occur only at long inter-
walls took place the other night, causing
what many believed for a time was a
shower Of wild fowl, says a Lewiston
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. A steady snowstorm prevailed
during the day, followed late at night
by a heavy electrical storm. Amid
the heavy downpour of rain there was
a drop of 20 degrees in temperature
and a large flock of geese driven to
earth by the currents in the air and
attracted by the lights of the city

bedlam had broken loose.
Many of the residents who were
suddenly awakened by the unearthly
noise were driven almost to the verge
of panic and are no longer sceptical
when they hear the story of the cack-
ling of geese awakening the sleeping
residents of Rome and saving the city.
The Wildfowl were quietly swimming
about the little ponds in the adjacent
fields and on the bosom of the Juniata
river next morning.

Fiahtinq with Ants.

The Indians of the Mauritius dis
pose of termites, or white ants, in this
manner: When they see their covered
way approaching building, they drop
e train of syrup from this way to the
nearest nest of black ants. The first
ones that see the syrup follow it up
till they reach the termite passage.
They return to their nest, and in a
few hours black army starts out for
the white ant stronghold. With great
fury they rush into the galleries. and
in a short time entirely destroy the
enemy. and each one, on its way
home, carries a dead ternite. proba-
bly, to eat.

SPRING LANES AND PEAS.
Writer Devotes Some EToquenee e.
Subject GastronomicaI.

When the poet spoke of ethereal
madness, he meant spring lamb and
peas. How we'll he knew them!
Lamb, the type of Innocence, and the
pea, the first fruit Of civilization, away
back on the Aryan SUBMITS. The pea
grows nowhere in a wild state. 1t is
the product Of tender care and the
hearts solicitude, and hence fitted for
gentle association, and all the quiet
moods of nature, where no anger,
trouble, or tumult comes. When a
sharp wind arises or frost hurls a
menace from a clear night, spring
lamb and peas vanish, like a bird
that feels prying breath upon its
nest. But when the shadows shorten
and the robin is abroad in the early
morning and therapple blossoms are
whitening the air, then appear the
lamb and peas, with a smiling saluta-
ton, Here we are-gather about us"
Don't we? Don't We taste the ethe-
real mildness? Don't we feast our
imagination on the blue sky and the
daffodils ohio State Journal.

Recluse,s Library in a Cave.

"The Devils Grotto," cave near
Beauvior en- Royans, France, has been
held in superstitious awe by the resi-
dents of the neighborhood, who late

of mysterious lights seen in the cave
after nightfall
A magistrate and several policemen
visited the cave, and on penetrating
to the interior found man with long
matted hair and beard, who said his
name was Andre Foure The cave
contained an electric generator and
was brilliantly Illuminated. Faure
was fitting up shelves to accommo-
late some thousands of volumes

Wild ostriches Grow lame.

A group of six wild ostriches were
seen on the commonage on Saturday
afternoon. The huge birds were dis
porting themselves on an ant heap
only a few yards from the road. The
little group seems to have made the
east end of the commonage and the
government reserve their home. and
are often to be met with.
So tame are they that on person
approaching they simply get up from
the road, where they are often lying,
and walk few yards on to the veldt
and gaze composedly at the passer by.

GOOSE 72 YEARS OF AGE,
1t Is Still as Lively as a Much Younger
Bird.

William Yours Strong, farmer near
Caldwell, y. j., owns goose which is
u years old, he says, according to tbs
New York World.
William Yours, the man I was
named after, gave me this goose in
1871" said Strong. yours was
going back to the old country,
and he said: Bill, I've owned this
goose for 36 years. / would take her
with me, but fear she cannot stand
the voyage. So I give her to you.
Cherish her, Bill; be kind to her in her
old age, for she is almost like a sister
to me-
yours kissed the goose good-by,"
Mr. Strong added. Look at her; she
is as active as gosling."
This was affectionate exaggeration.
It is true the the goose was waddling
around Mr.. Strong's farmyard, but her
carriage better compared to an aged
and dignified bird than a giddy 1edg.
ling.
