High Mes. for Hens Brood.

Two or three days ago." said a farmer near Lamar, my wife began to tell me that she heard little chick. ems. and that 1t sounded as if they were on top of the house. I laughed at her and told her that guessed she was going crazy. But this morning she insisted that get up on top of the house and look. I climbed up on the roof of the porch and sure enough there were an old hen and five as fine chicks as you ever saw. She had built her nest in some dry leaves under projection of the roof. The old hens plans had been all right, but she had failed to figure on getting her brood to earth. Kansas City Times.

the very crest of the terminal moraine
 and a short distance to the northeast
 of these is well-preserved efigy
 known to student as the "Lynx."
 which animal it's outline does indeed
 suggest. Its length is 21 feet and it
 occupies an area about nine rods
 square. The head is remarkably large in proportion to the body and
 short tail. The body is over three feet in height. This fine efigy is at present surrounded by trees and is in such a position that it should remain well preserved evidence of aborig- inal mound building for many years to come. It Is one of type not often encountered and the visitor strolling over the sunny hillsides and ranges of this beautiful region may profit ably pause in his rambles to admire it and ponder over its significance. These mounds comprise the fixed archaeological features of the region included within the intended park limits. Properly marked they should prove a great and interesting attrac- tion to visitors. It is not sentimen. alone that demands their permanent preservation. A wholesome and in teiIigent interest in wisconsin's early aboriginal remains is becoming more and more general. Tt is significant" remarks the Milwaukee Sentinel, that with a few exceptions all the known effsy mounds are confined 10 our state Thither must all students come for inductive study of these. But these prehistoric monuments are be- ing rapidly destroyed through the ignorance of the white man. to whose possessions they are. contemplated from any viewpoint. in reality a vaIu- able asset"

 Although the April record for snow has been broken in almost all of the northern and eastern states. it does not appear that great damage has been done to fruit or other vegetation. and unless colder weather follows there will not be much danger to crops. But the weather was not pleasing all the same.-Bridgeport Standard.
 The Harvard class presidents have dealt neatly with an awkward episode by apologinzing from the stage of the Majestic theater in Boston for the disorderly conduct of a student audi ence the night before.

The Boy Who Fell Down.

At Ausburg, in Bavaria, they have some curious laws and ordinances. An American family from Wisconsin were stopping there last December. and one of the sons, a boy 13 years old, slipped on the icy sidewalk one day. He was at once arrested and taken into court on the charge that he had fallen down to make trouble for other folks. It was held that when the boy fell down a number of people stopped to see if he had been hurt. Also. that the shopkeeper before whose door he had fallen felt humili- ated over the circumstance. Also, that he frightened horse. Also, that when policeman came up he could not talk German to him. The case was tried in court, and the boy who fell down instead of standing up was fined three dollars.

LONG LINES ARE sWAGoER,
Most Dressy of the Models Put Forth
 for Approval.

Plain cloth two-piece frocks are smart for street wear now, and will be much used in stripes, checks and plain materials. The models on which these garments are patterned are stunning yet simple enough for young girls use, or equally appropriate for a ma tron. The skirt, made on loug, grace full lines, is gored and absolutely with out trimming. except at tLe bottom, where there are several rows of stitch. ing. or a narrow founce.
 The waist may be eithe, plain. the cloth laid in graduated folds over the shoulders, coming to point at the waist line in back and front, or braid or lace may be used on the edges to give variety and add decoration to the costume. Worn with flchu of lace such suit is quite dressy enough for afternoons. The sleeves are puffs that end in cuffs, which fit close around the elbow.

 gust 2s at Camp Perry, Ohio. The
 first prize in this match will be the

In the national indiyid- ual match there will be a number of gold, silver and bronze medals. car rying with them cash prizes ranging from S5 to S60. In the national pis- tol match there will also be num- Der of medals and cash prizes. An important decision in this connection is the one that no person who is eith- CT a principal or alternate on any team entered in the competition for the national trophy shall be eligible to serve either as principal on any team at the next yearly competition for the national trophy. This provision does not apply to members of the teams from the United States mill- tary or naval academies should they be entered as members of these teams.

The disastrous eruption of Vesuvi- us and the continuance of the Gala brian earthquakes have effected a curious change that the agricultural population of the central provinces is migrating to the south of Italy in search of work. In the meantime land owners are suffering sore straits in the matter of labor for their es- tates, and the result must be an out cry for labor saving appliances, of which manufacturers should take ad- vantage. The British consul general suggests that the visit of an agricul- tural expert would be very desirable to decide the type of machine most suitable for the land. In every case the machine should be as light as possible, the horses being small, and bullocks being generally used for heavy draft purposes.
