Where Apples Are Used as Omens.

In parts of England many quaint
superstitions still center round the ap-
pie. Apples hung on strings and
twirled before the fire are said to fall
off in the order that the marriages of
the various owners will proceed. An
apple eaten before looking-glass is
supposed to give view of the inquir-
er's future husband, who will be seen
peeping over my ladys shoulder. Peel
safely taken from an apple tossed
three times round the head and thrown
to the ground unbroken, forms the
first letter of a future lovers name.
Both men and women utilize this
omen.
A more recent though hardly more
serious custom necessitates a bowl of
water, in which are floating number
of apples. Mothers must drop forks
into the bowl from distance of about
four feet. If the fork pierces an ap-
pie, the feat is believed to protect the
performers children from catching
cold.-Scrap Book.

siological SYMPTOMS. The blister bug
apparently does OF injure the king
bird, however, for bugs were found in
no less than seventy Of the stomachs
that we're examined. Another insect
noted was the robberfly which is about
three times the size of the ordinary
honey bee. This robber attacks the
honey laden bee, kills it and appro-
pirates the honey. Honey bees were
found in only twenty-five of the king
birds examined and most of these
we're drones. So instead of being an
enemy, the king is really the protec-
tor and friend of the honey bee.

PROTECTION OF BIRDS.
Recent Tests Show They are Great
Insect DeStrOyers.

Insect DeStrOyers.
Early in April the department OF
agriculture had ready for distribution
a new bulletin upon birds that will
have an important bearing upon the
much discussed Mclean bird protec-
ton bill, which was finally included
in the bill making the appropriations
for the department OF agriculture and
as, such, approved on March 4, and
signed by President Taft as one OF his
last official acts The bulletin will be
profusely illustrated, picturing wild
geese, wild swans, snipe, ploVer'
woodcock, wild pigeons, brant, and
other migratory and insectivoring
birds which henceforth are to receive
protection from the federal govern
ment under regulations to be formu-
lated by the department of agriculture.
The bill proposed by Senator Nc
Lean, of Connecticut, togetner Win
those presented to the house by Rep
sentatives Weeks, of Massachusetts,
and Anthony, of Kansas, is based upon
the fact that the lack of uniform bird
protective legislation throughout the
country is responsible for the threat
ened extinction of many speci7s OF
birds that make mig 'atory passages
north and south each year. 1t is OF
no use for one State to pass protective
laws so long as in another State, pos
sibly even during the mating and
Matching season, there is no law pro
tecting that same bird. The passing OF
a federal law upon this subject was

THE MOUND BUILDER.
A Highly Civilized, Though Mysterious
Race.

Race.
There can be little doubt that there
existed on this continent centuries ago
a race of people who attained state
of civilization far in advance of that
of the Indians who inhabited the coun-
try when the white man first came,
says the Chicago News.
The first evidence of such race was
the discovery in various sections of
the country of thousands Of oddly
formed mounds or hillocks. These had
long passed as ordinary formations Of
the soil, until it was noticed that they
were nodded in strange shapes, such
as dragons. buffaloes, lizards, croco-
diIes, turtles and other animal forms.
Some were shaped like forts and still
others were in geometrical patterns.
One single mound in Ohio is shaped in
a circle anu is more than 5000 feet in
circumference. On Investigation they
proved to contain strange copper uten-
sils, pottery and human bones and
skulls.
Something may be judged of the age
of these mounds by the fact that some
of them are covered with trees cen
;turies old. The bones taken from them
crumble upon exposure to the air, and
as bones twenty centuries old have
been found placed the age of the con-
struction of the mounds over 1000
years ago.
The race that left these monuments
must have been a highly intelligent
one. Copper and bronze implements
of war and utensils found in them
show great ingenuity in their construc-
ton. The workmanship on the metal
instruments shows considerable skill
at the forge.
The fact that the American Indians
were a rowing race, making their liV-
ing by hunting and fishing, and never
dwelling long in one place, seems am
pie proof that they could never have
constructed these strange mounds,
some of which are of such great extent
as to indicate that they served for
some time as the burial place of a
community. The skulls too, are not
shaped like the Indian skull.
There have been found in the Lake
Superior region prehistoric mines. In
one of which was great mass of cop
per, weighing tons, raised on a plat
form and ready for lifting out of the
mine.
Who, then, were these warlike, in
dustrious people, who evidently pos
sessed a fair degree of civilization?
Whence came they and where did they
go?
This probably we shall never know.
Many explanations are offered, but
none with sufficient foundation to be
convincing. The idea has ever been
advanced that they we're the lost tribes
of Israel. The fact that the skulls
closely resemble those of Egyptian
races, has led many scientists to con-
clude that their origin was in Egypt
hut we cannot be certain. All we know
is that great race lived, fourished
and was suddenly wiped from the con-
tinent by a great pestilence or by
hordes of savages or from some other
cause.
The mounds which form such an in
teresting source of study to the anti
uuarian, are scattered from the Allan
tic to the Pacific and from the Gulf to
the Great Lakes. Those in the Missis-
sippi valley, especially through Arkan-
sas and Kansas, are by far the most
numerous and interesting.

History, fed young robin sixty-eight
angle wormes in a single day and a
Canadian scientist reports robin
which consumed sixty-eight cut worms
in the same period. According to
careful estimates the insect feeding
birds of Massachusetts last year con-
sumed over 21,OOO bushels of insects
from May to September 80. Yet the
damage done by insects to the crops
of that State went to S5,0O0,000.
Thirty species of shore birds eat
noxious weeds, as well as insects, and
at least $50 of the insect eating birds
of the country have been classed as
game in both the northern and south
ern States. Even the robin is legally
protected in seven States, in Virginia
a petition si., by 100000 school
children secured the protection of the
robin in that State by special act
of legislature passed last year. In five
States the blackbird has been legal
game bird also.
The friends of the birds have spared
no pains to investigate such birds as
have been charged with being enemies
of the farmers For years the king
bird has been considered an enemy to
the honey bee and because of that
charge has been banished from many
communities by the persecution Of
school boys. An investigation of this
charge recently has been made by a
scientist who examined the contents
of the stomachs or crops Of no less
than 655 king birds About one-tenth
of the contents was vegetable; fully

including grasshoppers, rose beetles,

just one road, whether railroad or

an cast and west zone. The latter
we can ask our county authorities
to give US. As forlthe other, this
township is abundantly able to
provide it.

evening, several very important
subjects were discussed, among
them being the proposed auto road
that is practically laid out from

no argument necessary to provs
that the west road to Forest City
needs improvement, and the com.
