PREHISTORIC WORKS IN OHIO
In the state There Are Some Five
Thousand Remains Of Ancient
Civilization.

On the banks of the Scioto, within
four miles of Columbus, on its north
boundary, stand two conspicuous ex-
amples of the work of the prehistoric
peoples of that vicinity. One is on the
old Flenniken farm, on the east bank
of the river, and on the west side of
the river road about a mile north of
the water pumping station and filtra-
ton plant. The other is on the west
side of the river, three miles farther
north, and is on the west side of the
road that skirts the west shore of the
river. 1t is on the Shrum farm.
They are mounds of the same type
and of considerable size. They stand
on level planes, from which they rise
abruptly and symmetrically to height
of twenty or twenty-five feet. 1t must
appear to any observer, writes II. j.
Galbraith in the Columbus Dispatch,
that they are artificial and not natural
mounds. The owners of the proper
ties have long placed high values on
them and have not been disposed to
permit them to be opened. AS a mat
ter of fact scientific Psychologists are
not anxious to explore these mounds,
for, while they admire them as ex-
amples Of the work of the ancient in
habitants here, they know from expe-
rience in exploring such earthworks
that it is extremely unlikely that they
would yield anything worth the time
and labor it would take to make the
explorations.
There are several less conspicuous
mounds in the county that Doctor
Mills, the curator Of the museum at
Ohio State university, would prefer to
open, mounds that the general public
would lightly regard, IL indeed they
would recognize them as the work OF
prehistoric peoples at all. There Is a
i mound of this kind on the Olentangy
river near Worthington that is hardly
known at all to the general public that
| Doctor Mills has been watching for
, some time. II know that mound would
yield a rich store Of treasures" said
he. There isn't any sort Of doubt
! about II, but ! feel sure that anyone
who would explore the two Sciotc
! mounds would get little for his pains.
Counting them all. big and little
there are probably $50 earthworks Of
these ancient people within the Dor
ders Of Franklin county, and five OF
six thousand in the state Of Ohio. NJ
other state in the Union Is richer II
the evidences Of a prehistoric civiliza
ton than the Buckeye state is.

The Silver Llnina Appears.

The Association of Skirt, Dress and
Suit Makers have decreed that lovely
woman's attire shall be more roomy
the coming fall season. This is
bright spot on the horizon for the
cotton grower. There are said to be
20,000,00O women in this country alone
who wear clothes, and should the
fashion require yard and half more
cloth for a dress, it would mean a
consumption of 30,000,000 yards more
cloth. Figures do not lie. Here is q
ray of sunshine that ought to dissi-
pate the gathering gloom. Now if the
Filipinos and Chinese and Cubans
and other nationallties that aspire
for recognition in the world Of civili-
cation should require that their skirts
be made an inch longer, cotton ought
to jump like 1t did when Sully was in
the market.-Selma Times.

Cows Ate Dynamite.

A herd of eight COWS near Column
bus, Ca, is dead, and G. 2. Covington,
their owner, attributes it to their hay-
ing eaten dynamite, and has notified
the owners of the explosives that un-
less they make good the loss Of his
cattle they will be sued.

browsing in the vicinity Of the water
works plant north OF the city, and. on
account Of a fence breaking down,
were allowed access to q quantity OF
dynamite stored in ditch. It Is fur
thor claimed that the animals ate the
dynamite, and, instead OF being blown

cence, and nutritious and appetising
food must be so served that the sight
of 1t will create a desire to eat. The
arrangement of a tray and the re-
moval Of the same as soon as the
meal Is taken Is most important.
A small amount of food we'll ar
ranged will often appeal to the appe-
tite when a tray carelessly set and
overloaded would be refused.
The home nurse should dress in q
fresh, clean, washable dress, keeping
as cheerful and good to look at as it
is possible to be. Talk about cheerful
things, don't discuss illness Of others
or allow the patient to talk of his
symptoms too much. A cheerful, hope
to recovery. The nurse who allows
her patient to think he will not get

The funeral arrangements. Many nerv-
Gus people die because they think it
Is expected of them.
If there was only one word to be
used in describing a sickroom let it
be one of cleanliness. Everything
about the patient, the room and the
nurse should be spotless.
Frequent bathing for cleanliness Is
necessary, as the pores of the skin
have their important ONCE to perform
in the elimination Of waste. When
the patient has fever, frequent bath
Ing keeps down the temperature. Rub
bling with the hand wet with good
alcohol is most refreshing after q
cleansing bath. It cools the skin and
rests the patient.
A rubber sheet or an oilcloth may
be placed under the patient before
bathing SO that the bedding need not
|, be dampened. Often the rubbing Of
the patient with a bathtowel, when
the bath seems too fatiguing, will be
! found most helpful.

got busy and awarded the contract
for the erection of two new bunga-
lows on his property on North Pruet
street. 1t has been the intention of
Mr.. Jones for some time to erect
these buildings, but like everybody
else, he thought the times were too
hard However, he has decided the
so-called hard times will continue
just as long as people refuse to turn
their money loose and conditions will
improve when the people want them
to improve. Acting upon this wise
conclusion he decided to invest at
least $4,000 in some new buildings at
this time because the work can be
done more cheaply now than later
and the money expended will do more
good now than when conditions i'm
prove.
