will explain the first fragment
Hoe and Hatehets.
Most Of the collection Is stored In
the basement OF the museum until ex-
animation has been completed. Among
the three objects on view and, prob
ably, the most significant SO far found,
are the hoe and the two hatchets. The
handle Of this hoe, so far unique, Is OF
wood, round and about 1S Inches long.
Toward the blade end IL fiattens and
becomes broader. A notch has been
cut into this broad section and the
shell, three or four inches at It's great
est diameter, has been set in. A hole
has been cut I'm the SHE'LL through
which n fibre cord has been run to
fasten It to the handle. The cord Is
intact, and the implement Is just as 1t
must have been when the original In
dian owner last laid 1t down
Special interest attaches to the
hatchets because they were found com
plete with the wooden handle. Stone
axe heads have been found before, but
east Of the arid section the complete
implement is rare. The whole number
found east of this region Is believed
TO be less than a dozen, and of this
number two were found In the rock
shelters now under investigation.
One of the hatchets, or hafted-aXes
or tomahawks is of the Celt type, with
the smooth stone blade set directly
into the handle. Each time the weapon
struck an object, the blade became
more firmly set in the handle. 1t was
a weapon Of warfare, Mr.. Pepper eX-
planned, and to judge by its appear
ance one square blow would have
been adequate for the complete elimi-
nation of the enemy. The other axe
used for unitarian purposes, has a
chip flint blade
A discovery which puzzles the au-
thorltes of the museum Is that OF a
number Of small sticks with frazzled
ends. TO the layman they look sus-
piciously like homemade tooth
brushes. Since they were found stuck
In the ground at intervals Of about Is
inches, the theory was advanced that
they were used for stalking out skins
for drying, but Mr.. Heye expressed
himself as unsatisned with that ex-
PLANTATION.

Envy of Talent.

AS to clever peoples hating each
other, think little extra talent does
sometimes make people Jealous. They
become irritated by perpetual attempts
and failures, and it hurts their tenn
pers and dispositions. Unpretending
mediecrity is good, and genius is glo-
rious; but weak flavor Of genius in
an essentially common person Is detest-
able. 1t spoils the grand neutrality OF
commonplace character, as the rims
