Tbe Hon. Thomas T. lUmey of
Brooks, Mdison county, III., wants the
tiovernment to purchase and preserve
tbe famous Ciliokia M ni'J in that
county, and he has accr rdlrg'y addressed
a letter to Senator Cullom upon the sub
ject, lie has forwarded a surrey and
description of the monument left by the
ancl-nt mound builders, and asks tbe
Senator to introduce a bill authorizing
the purchase of 100 acres of tbe south
east quarter of section .', township 3,
range west of the third principal men.
idian, which includes the large mound
and ten smaller ones surrounding
it.
"The large mound called Cabokia
Mound," sayi Mr 11 miey in hid letter,
"is a parallelogram with straight aides,
the longer of which are noith and sooth.
It is anout 1(2 feet high. The top of
the mound is flit and divided into parts,
the northern end being four or five feet
higher than the southern portion, the
summit containing about one and one
half acres. Oa the southern end. some
thirty feet above the b.ise , is a terrace
or apron contaimicg nearly two acres
of ground. In the middle of this ter
race at the base of the mound is a pro
jecting point, apparently the remains of
a graded pathway to ascend from the
plain to the terrace. Oa the western
fide, and about thirty feet above tee
southern terrace, is another terrace of
somewhat less extent. The side of tbe
mound below the wes'ern terrace is
very irregular and forms projecting
knobs. To tbe north-west corner of
this large structure there seems to be a
small mound attached. The remaining
sides are quite straight.
'The base cove rs over sixteen acres.
"C.ihokia is the largest pyramid in
the world, surpassing the pyramids of
Kgypt in size.
"O.i tho eist and west sides of Caho-.
kia Mound are the smaller square
mound. The one on the east la about
1" fet high and contains about two
acres on the summit. The one on the
west side is much larger, being about
20 feet hin- Trey tire all straight and
welNdelined. coinciding with the points

ple. Whitney Couldn't Hide It
Tliw anxiety of newly married couples
to apear "like old mirrled folks' is
proverbial. When ex Seretrry of the
Nvy AVhifney w;s married to Miss
Flora Iiyne ttiey started from Cleve
laad on tneir wediiirg trp. Urmiy re
eolved to arpr as if they hid been
mamd for years.
"Xw, if I arppar a little cold,"
said Mr. AVhifney tnh's bri lf, "remem
ber I an o"It acting a part."
AVheti the train reached Ashtabula a
yerlmt conp'. shewing beyond all
doubt that they b id just cme from the
altar, cnme into thu c.r where Mr. and
Mrs. Uhitney sat.
"Why, pnyVy cui,i tf that that
coup! have jnst bon married." said
he. "I.nok at the mnt purrr, the
woman's tl wers and all that. Nobody
could doubt they were bride and groom.
But I don't believe we glv? ourselves
away like tha. eh, Fion ?"
After a few honrs the train "topped
at a station ant Mr. Whitney left the
car for n stroll rn !h platform and a
moment's smoke. As he paced np arid
down erj lying h'a clear. th Ashrabn-i
la groom stepped cp and asked for a
light. The countryman' stogie was
hardly lighted when, Fhowing a dispo
sition to be friendly, he remarked to
Mr. WMtnev :
"Well, partner, I guess we are in the
same boat."
Mr. Whi'ney was disgusted. Here,
tnrned to tl car 3rd exp'ained to Mrs.
Whitney: "flora, it's no i:se. Even
that greenb-'rn from Ashtnbnla has
spotted us."
A Curious Ocean Kace.
One of the most curious ocean races
ever known recently came to an end at
Suex. Leaving Melbourne three hoars
after the English steamer Orizaba, the
French Messaelires steamer Salere
arrived at the sa.tie time as her compe
titor at Albany. Up to that point their
route had been the same, but as from
there to Egypt their Itinerary was not
the sime, heavy bets were laid fn
Australia for the arrival of the Orlzara
at Sj?z 12 bourj ahead of the French
steamship. Consequently people at
Suez were ou the lookout, and on the
day when both ships were due they saw
the French steamer ahead and the Eng
lishman making desperate efforts to
jain on ber, but ia vain. When the
goal was reached the Frenchman was
odc hurdrcd and e'xty or seventy yards
ahead of one of tbe swiftest merchant
steamers in the English service.
Producing Sound, from Light
I.'ght, we now learn, not oiily has
sound, but can be beard. A beam of
sunlight is mad9 to pass through a
prism, so aa to produce tha soUi spec
truu. This is turned upon' a dlak con
talnioma: co'ored silk or wool, and as
the colored lights of tha spectrum fall
uiKn it, sjunds are givtn by d'fTerent
parts of the spectrum, and there is
silence ia o'.hsr parls. For instance,
if the green J;jht flih?s npon rd
worsted, loud sounds Mil be given.
Only feeble sounds are heard when the
red aud blue parts of the rainbow fall
upon tbe worsteds, and other colon
rr?e no s.-iimi at aP. Green silks giv
aoial Lejt iu red light. . Ever? kind of
material gives mors or less sound ia
different colors anil no sound in others.

Evidently tbe strong arm of a tre
served as tbe primatlve gallows, and
such was la use at a very early period
ia man's history. Io tbe book of Esther
we read that Haman was banged oc tbe
tree that bad been prepared for Jforde
eai. Ia more recent times, in ancient
ballads and accounts of the gallows, re
ferences are made to tha "fatal tree,"
the "gallows tree." the "tripple tree,"
"Tyburn tree," etc A tree waa not, '
however, always conveniently placed
to convert It Into a gallows, and thus
the Introduction of tbe simple construes
tion. consisting of two upright poets
and a traverse beam, the principle of
which baa not been materially altered
from Its first introduction.
Tbe gallows at times differed la height
which was Increased ia accordance with
tbe beinousness of the crime of tbe culs
prl. These elevated erections were
made use of at tbe executions of tbe
regicide iu tbe seventeenth century,
and thus it was that long ladders were
required In carrying out tbe last ex
tremities of the law. When ladders
were used tbe executioner mounted one
and the culprit tbe other.
The rope baying been adjusted to tbe
cross-beam, tbe executioner would de
scend and remove bis ladder, leaving
the condemned wretch on the other, en
gaged in bis last appeals for mercy.
These prayers were at times exceeding
ly prolonged, after finishing which the
miserable wretch was expected to throw
himself off the ladder, and thus to some
extent become bis own executioner.
Courage, however, would often fail at
tbe last moment, and his prayers would
be continued for a long time. When it
was evident that the culprit was pray
ing against time, tbe cxcutioner would
stealthily reach tbe ladder on which be
stood and overthrow it, and the body
would, eonsf quently, then be swinging
in tbe throbs and agonies of death. At
ono period it was customary to carry
out tbe execution of tbe criminal as
near as possible to the spot where tbe
crime for which be suffered was com
mitted. Health otaiaers.
It ia the impression among some who
have never Investigated the sutjc: that
the occupation of coal mining is Injur
ious, and it will surprise the majority
to learn that bow the ventilation of the
collieries has been so much improved,
tbe coal miner ranks among the health
of workingmen. As a rale miners are
undersized. This is dne to their occu
pation, as are also their well developed
trunks and arms. Tbe most frequent
functional derangements among them
are dyrpepsia and headache. The
"miner's Lack" is a well-known com
plaint in districts where email seams
are workec. and it is a very trouble
some one tn colliery doctors. Io other
districts a peculiar affection ot tbe eye
balls has been noticed. It is known as
"miner's nystagmus." The patient is

or scillatorv movement, making clear
apprehensions of objects an lmpoesibili

It is said to be caused by tbe use of
the pick br tbe miner in a stooping or
lying position, in a working dimly lit
by the ordinary safety lamp. A few

suffer largely, far in excess of tha rest
of the popnlatioo, from lung disease,

known as anthrocosis, where on post
mortem examination, the lung was
found to be perfectly black. If tbe
long waa squeezed there exuded a dirty
black, ink-like fluid, caused by the
presence of large quantities of onburnt
carbon. Bat all this is, to a very great
extent, a thing of tbe past. A case of
well marked antbroeosis is now a Terr
rare thing, owing to the Improved ven
tilation of the mines.
A Kicking Cow.
An Oregon farmer gives a remedy for
kicking cows, which he claims to have
used with great suceess for tbe part
twelve months : Take a small rope or
cord about tbe size of a clot heal in? ;
make a loop In one end, hold tbe loop
end in one band, drop tbe other end
over the cow's back, pick it up and paes
It through the loop, then slip It back
just behind tbe hips, bringing it under
neath jast forward of and close to the
udder, adjasting it so that tbe loop Is
near the backbone. Xow draw the rope
through the loop tightly and fasten ic,
the more tightly tbe better if tbe ani
mal is very vicious. Oa tbe flrrt applN
cation she will jo xp and try to kick
and perhaps bellow ; but let ber kick
she will soon get tired of doing so.
Xow you can sit down and milk with
out tbe least danger. Too can hardly
provoke ber to kick. If she should try
to kick, tighten tbe rope and continue
to do this until she gives up. Three
applications in succession will cure the
worst case. Treat ber kindly and gent
ly all tbe time, without tbe least excite
ment. bosd Points of a Horse.

successfully endure prove their nervous

the power of reproducing the lower

tbe lower half develops a new mouth,

in farm noasenoias where cream
abounds this is an inizperjsive dish
lie the large evaporated peaches. Stew
half apour.d nn'il tender by putting
them ovr the fire with water enough to
thoroughly cover : simmer atowlv. and
kfep well covered with water. When
tender drain carsful'y from the juico.
or lift tbem out with a fork so aa not to
break them, laying them at once Into a
mold alternately with thin slices or ba
nanas. Fillthe mold two-'.birds full.
Rtnrn tbe juice to the fire with four
heaping; tablerpoonfnls of sugar, the
grated rind and jnlce of an orange, and
half a box of Coopers gelatine that has
soaked for 10 minutes in enough cold
water to cover. There shou'd be near
ly a quart of tbe juice. Lt It all come
to a boil and pour into tbe mold (which
must be lar&r enough to contain it all)
over the peaches and bananas.
Let it stand over night. and serve with
plain or whipped cream, sweetened vnd
flavored. If bananas are not eay to
to procure the peaches aro delightful
alone, or peaches and dried apples may
be conked together. If you cannot gt
oranges or lemons for rlivoring, nse a
spoonful of any sweet, pickled frnit, or
strawberry or raspberry jam. To whip
tbe cream, put it io a deep bowl and
beat rapidly with a Dover egg-beater,
01 any other egg whisp. or even a fenrs
pronged fork. Five minutes will whip
it as stiff as tbat used for charlotte
rnsse. Half a pint of cream la enough
for this quantity. You can nse canned
peaches, thickening the juice with gela
tine in the same way.
A Bird tbat Rills Rattlers.
Riding in California one day. says
Jndsre ,T. C. Xormile. in the S Txiuis
Glole-Dtmocrt, my oompanion called
attention to a bird in tbe road ahead of
me. It was something like a prairie
chicken, but much more alender and
graceful in build. It was not using its
wings, but it moved very rapidly end
wa had to keep the horses on a pretty
good trot to keep up with it. My friend
told me that he was a "road runner."
a bird that was noted there for its ped
estrian accomplishment, and a pecular
habit they have is to walk always in tbe
center of tba road.
When one of these birds neets a rat
tlesnake it behaves in such a coy man
ner that it leads the snake to think it
will welcome the victim of its cbaam.
and while It is keeping tbe snake in doubt
as to bis intention sit runs about the cac
tus ar.d picks off the thorns with its bill,
dropping them in in a circle around tbe
snake until be hns him completely sur
rounded by cactus thorns : then it ies
to " Borne elevation and sits tbere to
watcb tbe snake stick himself to death
en the thorns trying to get out of the
ring
A Sleep-Walker.
The next story-teller told about a lit
tle experience he bad with a voooa. boy
who was addicted to sleep walking. Of
this fact be was not awaie and was
much s oi prised on bing awakened at
night to see tbe youth standing at tbe
window in tbe moonlight. Said tbe
boy :
"I wonder if tbe water is very deep."
Evidently he thought tbat he was in
a boat on thu lake.
Tbe teller of the tale awoke at once
to a recognition of tb situation and
to an awful sense of tho emergency.
"It's very deep, be said. ,4I
wou'dn't try to swim if I were yon."
"Why not ?" asked the somnambulist.
"It's jnst as c-ilm es can be.'
. 'Uut there are shirks In the water."
"I don't believe it," said tbe boy
the two had beea out Gshing all t:y
long. "I mean to take a bath."
W ith that he would have dived out
j of the window had not, the person who
j told thes'ory managed by this time to
creep up and seizj him by hio nigh,
clothes,
1h xtky droppings, well worked in
to tbe soil, make an 'excellent manure
