Items of Interest. Middleboro, Mars., was one of th barliest New England towns to engag In the experiment of municipal light Ing, and it claims to have made th' venture a success, but only after year of floundering and trouble. The towr was forced i.to the purchase of a plan that was the consolidation of two pri vate corporations, heavily capitalized It was necessary to buy out this com pany to avo'd litigation coming out o loose franchise granting; anA to pay 2 large price. Starting with this handi cap, says the New York Evening Post and owing to experiemental managing the balance cheet for years indicate< that the attempt was a failure. Thet came new and improved management and now it is anonunced that the rev enue from light sold to private con sumers exceeds the appropriations by the town to cover the cost of street lighting. So large fs the aemand for commercial lighting that some of the ftreets lights have been shut off tem porarily, it being considered wise to cater to the revenue-bearing side of the business. Trade has received a rebuff in Lon don society, says the Boston Herald; not because it is trade, but because sil ly women, who should be about better business than cutting under legitimate tradespcople, are selling their titles and positions by opening sh'ps and tea places after this manner of Lady de Gray. It is anything rather than a praiswortny step for the wife of a peer to take. Through her own extravagant follies, she or her creditors deem it justifiable, but her sovereign liege thinks otnerwise of the matter, and will refuse to receive her ladyship at Court when she becomes a "shopkeep er." The royal rebuke is intended as much for the handsome countess's debts as to warm other spendthrifts to follow not her example of bartering rank. It is very uncertain, therefore, if : e Gray now believes she will make a fortet sa ling tea at a guinea the cup. About three years ago the Christian Commonwealth Colony was founded in Muscogee County, Georgia, a few miles fram Columbus, 1W forty men and wo men, with some children, from Ohio. They were an exceptionally intelligent and worthy uody of people. Plain cot tages were built and a. common din ing hall which was also used for re ligious service, was established. The first year was a prosperous one. Four crops were raised and good prices se cured for the products. A saw mill was built, a grist mill and a broom factory were profitably operated, and a dairy not only furnished :he community with all the milk and butter needed, but afforded a surplus for the mar ket. Then niw members came and trouble began. Many shirked their work, gossip and scandal became rife, debts were incurred which there was :no money to meet, and now it is an nouced that the colony has gone to pieces. Well founded complaints are heard on all sides, says the New York Trib une, that tLhe great Consolidated Gas Company, with its vast wealth and magniicent resources, -is supplying a poor quality of gas.

SAVING ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS OF PREHISTORIC MONUMENTS. jThy Harvard College 11a Deeded Tt to the State Archaeologieal and Hictorieal Society-Mound Erected For Ceremou ial and Symbolical Purposes. By a recent vote of the ,arv:d corporation the Treasurer of Iarar. College has been authorized to to d to the Ohio State Archaeo!ogical :iaml I Historical Society the Serpent Mound Park which for the last fourteen yne has been in the custody of the 1\a body Museum in Cambridge. flhus r-c storing to Ohio the ownership oi tie most remarkable and famous of ilie thousands of monuietis (if the :nt eient mound builders w hieh ex_ ist with in her borders. The gretit Serpent Mound lies in the Township of Bratton. overlooking Brush Creek, about seven miles fron Peebles. the nearest railway station. It had been notze with wonder by.tho first settlers, but it was not until 1814; that it was measured and described by Squier and Davis, who published a report with drawings from survi-ys in the first volume of the "Smithson inn Contributions to Knowledge." The two explorers had found the site of the mound covered by a forest. Th:r teen or fourteen years aster their visit a tornado swept directly along Serpent Hill, practically sweeping the forest clear. This led to reclaiming the hind for cultivation, but by 1883 it had re lapsed again to a state of nature and was overgrown with sumach anl briars. In that year Professor Frederick W. Putnam, .urator of the Peabdy M1u seum and Peabody professor of arch aeology and ethnology at Iiar-ard, visited the spot in the course of a trvp which he was making throurh South ern Ohio for the purpose of examining some of the best known of the ancient monuments for which this part of the State is famous throughout the world. le was able to make arrangcnents with Mr. Lovett, the owner of the land, to have the Site cleared of un derbrush, so that for the fi-st time in years the extraordinary character and grandeur of the Great SerpC-nt wvas apparent to visitors. It has been reckoned that r less than 13.000 mounds and earth-orks, built either by the Indians or y the so-called "prehistoric" Inhabitants of the Mississippi Valley, are in-luded in the State of Ohio alone. But the advance of cultivation, the cutpidity of seekers after the buried treasures which are popularly suiosed to be hidden under many of these works, I and in some cases pure vandalism, have put many, ineluing, of course, some of the most important, in jeop- 0 ardy. An example of this last kind of i destruction is to be found at 3ari ia,t where two great embankments, fat inous among students of American lrchaeology, have been partly de stroyed-one having been built upon tnd in part leveled, and the other I nade into- b'ricks. The destr etion -of he Mariet orks seems I the m r be account of the co-pa st whi it offers to the enligLA- to . td wisdom of the pioneers, who, act- ta under ~e direction of the famous T fus Putnam, had utilized the twoth D~ankments to for~manavenue which y named in the classical fashion of in. day, the Via Sacra. s isiting Adams County again in in' arot 5 he found that its destruction was T vitable, unless immediate measures heio te taken for its preservation. lHeth s able to secure a contract wiih theth 1er that it remain intact for. a year' set ia price for the absolute pur-chase the land was agreed upon. Goingfs k to Boston, he enlisted lhe aid of T s Alice C. Fletcher. well knownar her notable contributious to lhe wledge of Indian life. 3Miss Fletch- ci meeting in Newport a few Boston [es, appealed to thiem for support wall hi so much effect that in the wvinter rn LSSG3 a private circular was issued, ent, a the indorsemient of the late Fr-an- oi3 Paraman, the historian of thetr it, calling for subscriptions. As ait ilt a sufticient sum, amounting to Oi ut $13000, was secured to buy suchi the I as seemed to be require d for the exphl :)ose in view, andl to take steps for I T preservation of the Ser~petm, withI ne risions for making thoroughI exca- otfet ons in the immediate neighbior- so cc :1.
