RELICS OF ANTIQUITY. A St. 1'aul Arrliii'oloKlst' Collection ol Curious SH-elmens, tint tiered llurliifr a Year's Tour lu the Northwest anil South west. Mr. T. II. Lewis, n St. Paul nrchieol ogist, has lately returned from ti tour of exploration of almost n year, nnd hu brings with him some rnro and valu able specimens obtained from the an cient mounds that nru scattered about in nlmost every miction of tho South west and Northwest. Undoubtedly he hits now the largest nnd most vnlu- ublo privute ni'cluco'ogical collection in the Northwest, and tlie report ol his season s work nro regarded as most valuable contribiit'oiis to scion t lie records and history. Mr. Lewis hits surveyed 1,250 mounds during the liast vear 125 of which were tdllges nnd eight or nine fortilicd points and forts, llis travels embraced explora tions in Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa, Wis consin, Illinois nnd Arkansas. He brings bark with him, as tho result of ins tour, a large collection of draw ings of elligies and curious relics of tlie days of tho mound builders. In the lino of elligies he discovered a mound in Southeastern Minnesota, the outlines representing the form of a tish. Tlie few lisli elligies that have been de scribed by explorers heretofore have never shown tho lins; but Mr. Lewis' discovery has tho lins very accurately marked," being the lirst ever noted by nrclueologists. Its extreme length is 101) 1-2 feet, the greatest width 'M feet, from end to end of lins. Mr. Lewis considers this one of tlie most interest ing nnd valuable elligies ever discov ered. Another one represents a frog tlie only perfect specimen ever de scribed. It is DM feet ill length, ill feet in widtli between the tips of the fore legs and !). feet between tho tips of tho hind legs. Tho body of tho largest bird elligy is i'8 feet from beak to the cud of the tail, and 121 feet from tip to tip of the wings. Another of a bird is the most syinmi trieul of any surveyed, tho length from llio tail to the tips of tlie wings being exactly the same. A draw iugof a rattlesnake elligy, found on Lake St. Croix, in Minnesota, shows a length of 118 feet, tho section of tho mound repre-eiiting tlie head swelling out to a wnhh ol lifiy-threo feet. Three mounds at tlie rear end deno'e that number of rattles. Tho elligy is very well de veloped to show tho natural propor tions of a snake. Another interesting nnd striking elligy was found a short distance west of St. Paul. It is a group of live mounds, bearing tho appear ance of large birds in motion in tlie air, with wings extended and necks stretched forward. Three of them are directly iu line as geese fly ono a little to the left, and tlie other a little in advance, bearing oil' to the right. Jtlr. Lewis says that it is ono of the best nnd most natural elligies he has ever discovered or seen described. The shape of the mounds is dill'ercnt from nny that have ever before been dis covered in the way of bird elligies. The highest point is near the upper portion of the wing, the slope of the wings being proportioned so ns to show which way the long feathers run. These de scribed nre only the more striking onej of the 125 elligies surveyed. In the matter of archieological relies dug from the mounds mostly by Mr. Lew.g himself there Is a collectc tiiat to enumerate each object would reipiire a column of space. The curi 011s specimens embrace s wide varie of drinking ressels, bowls, dislie plates, dippers, agricultural imph mcnts, pipes, shell beads, axes, arm heads and chisels, made of difl'c.-e materials, clay, mussel shell, stone nnd copper having been principally used. The Minnesota collection was secured principally in the southeastern part of the Slate. There is a large dr uklng vessel, basket-shaped, the handle set ting oil' from the vessel four or live inches. Tho only opening is a small aperture on tho top of the handle. Another drinking vessel Is painted a deep, glossy red, the color being well preserved, except on the handle, where it was evident y worn oil' by usago. This is polished very nicely, nnd evi dently belonged to a nabob's oiitlit. It stands upright, the handle being much smaller than tin bowl. Another vessel, similarly constructed, is painted in two colors, red and yellow, there being ten strip 's of each color on llio bowl nnd four of each on the neck. Irregular, wavy lines of color ornament another. Still another drinking vessel has ten double circles painted on the bowl, with crosses iii the center, nnd lim e double circles, with crosses in the ren ter, on the upright neck. Evidently these were intended as evidences of ex traordinary artistic talent. A round, open-topped vessel lias bandies mod eled to rep:c-unt a woman's face and head; inside the hollow head nro sub stances of some character which rattle when the vessel is shaken. There is a large circular dish, with a grooved top, fashioned something after our modern models; several forms of plates, nlso of modern design; several oval-shaped, open top cooking vessels iu which to heat water, tie, handles being repre sentations of beaver, duck and owl heads. One cooking ve-scl has three short legs attached to its bottom; a dipper lias a handle mo. tried after a beaver's tail; another a long, strong, thick handle; there aro no two il ppers that are similar in de sign, showing a rage for something new and novel among the people f that time. One water vessel and a cup show evidences of modern construction the former having a perforated baso and the latter having a regular chimb around the bottom. A hood-top drink ing vessel the neck running up and being fashioned after the head of a hooded woman is a curiosity. The only opening is under the front of the hood, where the face should be. All these described are made from clay and pulverized mussel shells. There nro also specimens of agricultural imple ments -hoes, spades, etc. some mado of chert (a species of Hint), others of the shoulder blade of the bull'alo; the latter nru highly polished, There nro nlso niiumlierof disi'oidal stones (round stones, having the form of a disk), celts (shaped like small tomahawks, and supposed to have been used for skinning animals); clay pots, nicely ornamented with lines anil dots; copper axes (0110 weighing one and a half pounds), arrow and spear heads, stono axes, lead ore and shell beads. A stone paddle, four teen inches long, Mr. Lewis says is the largest ever found in the United States, tho greatest length heretofore noted being six and a half inches. Mr. Lewis nlso has four two-handled clay pots, there having been only one more found in Minnesota of which a record is known. Copper chisels, ceremonial pipes, pestles, stone hammers nnd doz ens of other relics go to complete tho collection. Ono largo two-handled cooking pot Hindu of clay and mussel shells deserves special mention. It was found in Northeastern Iowa, which is considered pretty far north for such a specimen. Its symmetry Is perfect, the sides being tinted mid ornamentod with diagonal lines. The diameter across tho top is 13 1-2 inches; across the center, 18 inches; depth, 13 inchos. This was probably used as a wash tub or punch bowl or likely both. Mr. Lewis starts out again Iii a short time for another southern tour. If Minne sota should ever construct a suitable tire-proot building, it is the intention of the gentleman to present the State with a magnificent archieological collection. tit. Vanl Pioneer Press. SAVING FEED. One of the Ways In Which Farmers Ma l'rov the Wisdom of Kci.nomy. If one-tenth of tho crop of grain and hay that will bo fed during the present winter, could be saved there would bo practically an enormous addition totho natural wealth with which this country is ovcrllowing. It seems as though the saving might bo effected, and thus con siderable bo donu to avert the evils of depression in the markets for farm products. The lirst means to adopt for saving hay und grain, is to provide snug und comfortable quarters for farm stock of nil kinds; for fully a tenth of all the food given to animals in tho way common, in the West especially, is wasted. Part of it is trumped under foot, fro piently sinking into the mud, and of tho rest, cattle will eat none, unless actunlly starved into doing so. A very considerable part of the food given to animals, for which no shelter is provided, goes to sustain animal heat. Every animal is an animated fiirnnec, consuming a certain part of the fuel in keeping up the temperature of its body. Every one knows that a furnace placed. out of doors requires a greater quantity of fuel to keep itself warm, than in a closed room. Another potent iulliience for economy of fodder and grain is good breeding. Well-bred beeves and well-bred cows will give a much greater return, in flush and niUk, for a given quantity of food, than tho scrub can give. The results of good breeding show themselves all along the line, from birth to maturity. Tho Berkshire, the Poland-China, or other well-bred pig; the Cotswold, the Oxford, the Shropshire, or other im proved races of slicep; the llorofords, tho Short-horn, or other established brei;ds of cattle, all make a fair ap pearance, a larger growth and a bet ter profit than the scrub can make from a like cpiantity of food. Much is to bo learned, by the mass of farmers in this country, about the rela tive cost and value of tho several kinds of food. The general method of man agement is to throw dry fodder of sotuo kind to the stock, to chuck down a few ears of corn, and once in a while to lead the animals to a trough of water, warmed by the rays of summer suns, ot frozen in the winter. A more wasteful way can scarcely be conceived, idiort of turning the stock into the field ot standing grass and grain. Pra rie I Farmer.
