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.

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
