John Hmtth'H Htorv. Gigantic skeletons of prehistoric Indians eight feet tall have been discovered along the banks of the Cuoptank river, in this state, by employees of the Maryland Academy of Science. The remal ns are at the academy's building on Franklin street, wliere they are being articulated and restored by theicidemy expert, John Widgeon, negro. lhey win be placed on public exhibition early in the fall. The collection comprises eight skeletons, of which some are women and children. Tney are not all complete, but all the larger bones have been found and there is at least one complete specimen of an adult mau. The excavations were In progress for mouths, and the discovery is considered one of the most imp rtant, from the standpoint of authropology, in Miryland in a number of years. The remains are believed to be at least 1,000 years old. The formation of the ground above and the location of the graves gives every evidence of this. During the excivation the remains of the camps of later Indians were revealed. These consisted of oyster shell heaps, charred and burned earth and fragments of co?klug uteu3lls. These discoveries wire t^n feet above the graves which WSWfced the gigantic skeletons. There have been other discoveries in Maryland of remains of men of tre mendous stature. A skeleton was discovered at Ocean City several years ago which measured a fraction over 7 Wet 0 inches. This skeleton was interred in a regular burying mound and beads manufactured by white men we found upon it. The dead Indian was probably one of the tribes mentained by Capt John Smith, v?ho, in July, 1008, made a voyage of exploration of the Chesapeake hay. *jAt the point on the Choptank where remains were found there are steep shelving clliTs of sand and gravel tfiat extend to the water's edge. Beneath the bank kg layer of marl. The graves are wfW sand a few ftefc ahnvft the hard marl and have rlennsi. ts of between twenty and thirty feet Of sand and gravel above them. A pecaliar feature of the discovery Is the charred state of the bones of the women and children. Those of the men are untouched by lire. This seems to indicate that the ancient Indians cremated the bodies of all except their ' warriors. The wet restiug place of the bones for so many yours has made them very soft and fragile, an 1 It was with the greatest dilliculty that they were removed.?Baltimore American. Must Nerve Sentence.

Some one has llgurcrt out that the average boy who Is dependent upon his parents for a livelihood until he reaohts the age of 21 years, costs them $4,000. Upon tills basis of calculation a brood for instance, six boys, will represent an outlay of $24,000 by the time they leave the home roost The question naturally arises, do -.s it pay to raise hoys, and are thore no oilier cro|s that would be more protilabn. 1 lr a boy turns cut to bo cigarette iicnd with a laugh that would make the wild untutored donkey feel perfectly at home in his society, and with an untrammeled and unconquerable desire to avoid work it Is safe to say the parents might have Invested to better advantages. Hut If the boy grows up with the lesson well learned that wealth and success grow only on bushes by the sweat of the brow, the parents need not begrudge whatever they have spent on him, for lie will be a source of increasing joy and pride lo tueir nearts when tney grow old and their hands tremblr. and their legs wabble and their steps are sIjw and faltering. They will then have two strong arms to lean upon. Cost of Paper, The cost of making paper from corn stalks from $22 to $25 per ton, while that from rags or pulp reaches $00 to $75. At present it is estimated that 53,000,000 tons of corn stalks rot annually In the fields. In the new process every part of the stalk will be utilized. Fine paper will cjme from the pulp, while coarse wrapping paper and box board will ba made of the hard outer oavering. Ooher portions of the stalk will go into varnish, powder, guncotten, papier macho, cellulose, lubrioants and other material.

An lnfal)i< olo test is as follows: Take the boll of goods at the cut end examine cUfte1 f the crosswise thread, slowly pulling apart. If it breaks almost evenly and comes apart slowly, then one is safe in judging it to be all wool; but if it breaks in short uneven strands and falls apart easily, it is undeniably cotton. It is much more satisfactory tj get either all wool or all Gotten. Silk may be judged by its thickness if for street costumes, as it must have the "body" to it. Avoid illmsy s'lk as you would a plauge, for it will drag from the seams, hang limply and be altogether unsatisfactory. Silk may also be judged by the thread Pull the thread by the end, as in testing cottons and wollens. If the thread is well rounded and 11 rm, and does not split apart at the touch, it is safe to conclude that it will stand service. Or make a crease with the linger nail; if the crease dents deeply, and does not soon come out the silk Is substantial and worth a irood nrie?. 1 f the crease disappears immediatly and leaves a torn or cut thread In its place it is inferior and not to be purchased. For testing linens simply take up the corner of the cloth and stretch it over a dampened linger. Should it spot immediately, it is undoubtedly pure linen. Cotton will not absorb water quickly, and linen takes water like a blotter takes Ink. A silk shirt waist and lightweight broadcloth skirt will outwear two linen dresseB and save laundry expenses. No iner chant is foolish enough to guarantee a glove which costs less than $1 f>0 and to I uy them is only presenting him w'lth the money for which lie guarantees you absolutly nothing. -There are no bargins in cheap goo is, for no merchant will sell his goods, even on the 1 'b r^aln coun'er," unless he gets at least the cost and a little profit over for them. A Word to I??ront8. Many parents by cisting stones at everyday amusements are taking, the tirst steps whereby they may crush the love of home out of their boys hearts. He is bound to kick over the traces if the reli s are held too t.iglitdv ?nd if you will not tolerate a qutet> smoke by your fireside, thjen good bye to home life for the boy; he will follow ids own bent just the same, but will go out for it aud meet with companilons against whom you would probahity warn him did you make his frteuds your friends. He hasn't had your exj perience of the world, and you would faiD warn him of the quicksands, but you have spoiled all chance of this by your unreasonableness. Encourage your son to spend his evenings at home, know who aro his friends, and try to make the? yours. There is nothing like a rersonsvbis smountof reserve if people wish to be fast friends.

Olio ltenifluy ih to Troat tho Deserter ?h a Criminal, According to the annual report of Major-Gen. F. 0. Alnsworth, military secretary of the army, there werr during the tiscal year endirg June 30, last 0,533 desertions from the enlisted force of the army, or 6 8 per cent, of the whole number of enlisted men. During the preceeding year the desertions were 6 6 per csnt., for the preceding three years the average was 0 1 per cent, and for the ten years euding in 1904 the average was 4 5 per cent., showing clearly that the relative number of desertions has been increasing Gen. Alnsworth says that until the deserter is completely ostracised and the public is made to treat him as the criminal that he is there is not much hep} for improved conditions. The leniency of the military authori tics has much to do with the willingness of a soldier to leave tke service. Gen. Alnsworth reviews the reasons which have been assigned for the increasing desertions. The aboition of the canteen, the monotony of gar li #/\ ^ U ItwifAiuiiMr O no /"lint'. i\t flftl'U ilitJ, OllO IUUiT)(191L^ A LU V UliU UI study and w >rk required of a soldier and the ease with which it is possible in tnese prosperous tiroes to obtain good employment in civil life without the drudgery of a soldier's existence are some of them, but the principal cause of the evils in question, he says lies deeper, and the Kraatest Is that Americans are not a military people, la discussing this question Gen. Aiusworth said in pari: "Mauv remedies have b^en pro posed but none seems to he worthy of very serious consideration. Those who know how tliefnRtnteen came to bo abolished are not hopeful of its restoration. There Is no likelihood of any suco increase in the soldier's pay as will offset the greater inducements offered in civil pursuits. The c mforts and even luxuries that are furnished to enlisted men in our service are even now criticised by i.ome as being not only extravigant, but Injurious lu their effort ou men whrse real business it Is to march and tight, encumbered with few comforts and no luxuries, and the discipline and instructions to which the soldier is now subjfc&ed are not likely to be relaxed in future " I - ORflANS. .
