Dene-HoIes in ENGLAND.

A large group of the singular exca-
vations known as dene-holes was re-
Gently discovered in the forest be-
tween Woolwich and Firth. Their po-
sitions were indicated by cup-like de-
pressions in the ground. Two of the
holes have been explored. Each pos
sesses a circular shaft about three
feet in diameter, with holes in the
sides, apparently intended for the sup
port of ladders. The holes run down
about SO feet through earth, then pass
through four or five feet of chalk, and
expand into caverns Is feet in height.
Each cavern has six chambers,
grouped radially round the bottom of
the central shaft This is the ordinary
arrangement found in dene-holes,
which have been thought by archeolo-
gists to be secret receptacles for the
storage of grain used about the time
of the Roman occupation Of Britain,
or earlier.

HAPPINESS MEANS GOOD WORK.
Sorrow and Misfortune Elements That
Make Effort Painful.

On Huxley's marriage, Darwin wrote
to him: Il hope your marriage will
not make you idle; happiness, l fear,
is not good for work" But one must
disagree with this eminent man. Hap
piness ''comforteth the hands to
work." makes the brain lively, and
gives courage to confront difficulties.
1t is sorrow and misfortune that lower
the spiritual temperature, and make
effort painful. Moreover, no mortal
enjoys such perfect degree of bliss
as to be Tapped in an Elysian dream.
The happiest marriage-and HuXley's
was happy-brings many cares, bur-
dens and responsibilities. Perhaps
without that domestic accord he could
never have accomplished the work he
did! for he said, Il have a woman-ele-
ment in me-" and for women the most
whitening and destructive thing in the
world is to be unhappy.

on the desk.
'The first what?" asked the guest.
THE first key we've got back in a

counter, as he picked up the key,
with a stamp affixed to the big tag on
it. "You know they take them away
all the time and we have tags made
with a direction printed thereon to
stick on a stamp and they'll come
back to us. But l guess that the per-
centage of returns is small.
Almost no one takes away a key
with the intention Of stealing it, but
some folks keep them as souvenirs
when once they get them home"

MARRIAGES AT SECOND HAND.
Peculiar Ceremony Believed by Many
to Be Legal.

Secondhand marriages." said a
clergyman to Philadelphia Bulletin
writer, ARE believed legitimate and
binding by many ignorant people. In
fact, during my slum work, found a
number of worthy couples who
claimed to have been married second
hand. OF course, such marriages have
no existence in law
ITO marry secondhand, you and
your lady attend an actual wedding,
and silently make the responses which
the real bride and bridegroom make
aloud.
secondhand marriages are popular
on account of their cheapness-they
save all fees Their secrecy is another
great advantage-none can find them
out. In fact, everybody would prob
ably marry secondhand, but for the
unfortunate fact that the ceremony
doesn't legally hold"

SAYS BRAIN DOES NOT FEEL.
French Professor Declares Stomach Is
Emotional Center.

The solar piexus is the emotional
brain, says Prof. Francois Guyot. An
emotion that attacks us is felt there
first. Thus, if we feel anxiety it may
give us, if severe, a positive stomach
ache 1t may even be productive of
nausea
While the brain does the thinking,
Prof. Guyot opines that it does not
feel. The cerebrum, the major part
of the brain, is the intellectual, but
not the emotional center. The brain
represents the intelligence. The spinal
cord and the cerebellum, the latter the
little brain, not yet well understood
and attached to the brain proper
govern equilibrium and the muscles of
the body. But the emotions are To-
Gated in the sympathetic nervous sys-
tenn ramifying through the body. Their
chief center is the great plexus of
nerves which lies against the back
bone and embraces the stomach.
This does not think, but it feels.
What it does not feel is not felt at
all, apart from pure intellectual cog
milton, and it's purely passive and sub
jective sensations may often be re.
garded as warning of danger or pos
sible mischief

Brook Trout Hatchery.

"Wisconsin will have the finest
brook front hatchery in the
United States, when the hatchery
at Wild Rose IS completed said
former Senator Calvert Spensley
of Mineral Point at the Hotel
P6ster. The new hatchery is To-
Gated in an ideal spot for the pur-
pose with plenty of clear. cold
water coming from innumerable
springs which gush out of the or
Ound in every direction. The fish
commission spent year and a
half looking for the proper locati-
on for the hatchery and finally
found this spot and secured the
land. Work on the hatchery is
going forward and we already have
several dams IN FOR the purpose
of forming ponds. In addition to
the small brooks formed from spr
ings in the surrounding hills, we
have hall a mile along the Pine
river which stream will be used
for ponds. When the entire plant
is completed it will be, as l said
at first, the finest hatchery for
brook trout in the country; none
other can campare with it and |
have visited hatcheric> in different
states, therefore feel safe in making
this statement. Wisconsin is do
lng a great work in keeping the
streams of the state stocked with
fsh. Though we have quite a
number of hatcheries now the de-
mand for stock is growing all the
time and we many have other hat
chries in time. All the commisri-
Oners. however, feel that in the
Wild Rose hatchery we have an
ideal spot and all the natural re-
Iquirements tor perfect hatchery
for raising trout. The streams
and ponds will be entirely free
from all refuse or sediment, the
water being clear and cold. the
natural conditions fer breeding the,
Sc trout. The CeIafeld hatchery
is equally good for bass and will
make a model hatchery for that

Not All Hawks Chicken Thieves.

The hawks have as bad a reputation
as the crows, and all hawks are called
"hen-hawks" by those who are ig-
norant of what they do live on, but
the majority of the hawks do not live
on poultry, by any means. great
many of them live on insects, and
mice form a large item in their bill of
fare.
The sparrow hawk is the one that is
to blame for the hard name given to
his brethren, and it is he who kills
the chickens and hens. When hard
pressed for food other hawks rarely
may carry away hen or chicken,
but this is the extreme rather than
the average case.
