Miles Standish's Grave.

There has always been a tradition
that the grave of Miles Standish, the
location of which has been a matter of
much speculation to historians, was in
the old graveyard at South Duxbury,
Mass, and the authority of this has
been traced back to an old shipbuilder
who died there eighteen years ago at
the age of 90, and who, some years
before his death, said that his father
had pointed out the spot TO him and
that lit was marked by two three
cvrnered stones" That grave was
opened recently, and two skeletons
were found, one of a man and another
of woman. Miles Standish's will
directed that he be laid las near as
conveniently may be to my two dear
daughters-LoraS tandish, my daugh-
ter, and Mary Standish, my daughter
in-law." If investigation should show
that another woman's skeleton was
buried beyond the graves already exam
med, it would be strong evidence IN
favor of the presumption that the last
resting place of Capt. Miles Standish
had at last been found.

An extremely interesting centennial
souvenir has been published recently,
being fac-simile copy of Washington's
accounts with the United States from
1775 to 1888 as written by himself and
presented to the Registers Office of the
Treasury Department. A study OF this
document shows not only the scrupul-
Gus care which the Father of his Coun-
try paid to details, and the exactness
of his financial transactions with the
Government, but also his equally
scrupulous honesty during those eight
years, and the financial sacrifices which
has duties imposed upon him. The
first entries in the account book began
in June, l775, and include the expenses
for "the purchase of five horses two
of which were had on credi; from Mr..
James Mease), to equip me for my
journey to the army at Cambridge and
for the service, having sent my chariot
and horses back to Virginia; a light
phaeton, double harness, saddlery, let
ter case, maps, glasses, the keeping OF
the horses, and money expended on the
journey from Philadelphia to Cam
bridge, including expenses of Gen. Lee,
who was afterward TO serve him so
shabbily, the whole amounting to lit
tie over $1,000 Evidently there was
not much junkcting on that trip. Dur
iRg the year 1775 most of the disburse-
ments are in small sums paid out for
servants, cleaning house, expenses on
accommodating tours, laundry work,
blacksmithing, etc. In one place there
is an item of so to French cook. Evil
IDENTIFY that individual was cheaper then
than he is now. In another place
Washington enters $50 ito the relief of
the distressed wives and children of
the soldiers from Marblehead. The
exactness of this account is shown by
foot note to an entry of $50 10 Mr..
Ebenezer Austin, the steward, for
household expenses, in which he says:
"This and every sum which will be
found charged in these accounts to Mr.
Austin are credited in his book of
household expenditures, herewith given
and rs "a voucher"

In Egypt ladies used to carry their
devotion for their feline pets so far as
to go into mourning for them when
they died. And how do You think they
went into mourning? Why, by shaw
ing off their eyebrows! Favorite cats
used to be embalmed, too, and know
of no quainter or more grotesque OBJ
jects than the mummified cats which
may be seen at the British Museum.
Even now cats are held in high esteem
in Egypt, and in at least one of the
Khedive's palaces at Cairo there is a
free ration distributed every day to
any cats that may care to apply.

Willie Sprague and His Father.

ran across Willie Sprague t'other
morning, just back from visit to his
father, the Ex-Governor of Rhode
Island, who still lives at Cauonchet In
renewed luxury and style. The Gov
errors" fortunes have, somehow, i'm
proved immensely, and he and his sec
ond wife once more cut a great dash.
Willie's relation to the household, by
the way, is rather a mixed one. He
married his step-mother's sister. In
due time his wife got divorce from
him and married the manager of the
Canonchet farm. When Willie goes to
Canonchet he is Hospitality entertained

his son remains steadfast to the '"Gov-
ernor," his daughters, who both reside
with their mother in New York, never
go near him.-NelC York Journal.

Sound is the action of vibrating air
upon the ear. The peculiar timbre or
quality, ~ harsh, sweet, rich, thin,
nasal, etc, of musical tone is deter
mined by the shape of the vibrating
wave. The shape of the wave is gov
erned by the shape and action of the
medium that originates the vibration
Every one knows that the shape Of a
liquid stream from syringe or a spout
Is governed more or less by the shape
of the mouth from which it issues. The
peculiar tone of voice is in this way
influenced by the shape of the mouth
OF n singer. II is because the shape of
the mouth can be brought under the
control of the will that voice quality
can be materially modified and inn
proved. The real beginning of the vi
brating waves rests with the vocal
cords, which are the ligaments in the
larynx, capable of many curious adj
justments, the details of which cannot
be explained here. The vocal
cords are set in motion by the expira-
ton of air from the lungs. During in
SEPARATION the vocal cords are incapable
of causing any musical sound. The
foregoing explanations are given, not
because they are interesting, but sim
ply because a fair understanding of the
facts of voice production will enable a
student to see the "why and the where
fore" of the exercises to be suggested,
and to observe, intelligently, his own
powers and deficiencies. The knowl-
edge that voice quality is not altogeth-
er fixed beyond modification, as is the
shape of the nose or color of the eyes,
is an encouragement to the student to
earnestly strive to improve and beauti-
fly the present quality of his voice

"Thief.Ca.clter. -

The rattan which is used in tins
country as the material of chairs and
other articles of furniture is put To n
great variety of uses in the countries
where 1T grows. In the Philippine
Islands the natives use rattan to tle
together the poles that form the frame
work of their houses, to fasten
on the attaps of palm leaves
which cover the roof and sides, in max
ing their boats, and in almost every
place where we would use nails. They
also use it to hang clothes on TO dry,
to tie up bundles, and to suspend ar
ticles from the roof
For all these purposes the stems are
slit into slender strands, which are,
nevertheless, very strong Vines an

they are used for dragging logs out of
the woods.

one ahead of another, and all pulling
by means of two of these vines.
They would drag the log a Sew yards,
and then stop to rest till the shouting
of their drivers started them again.
But the most curious Office of the
rattan is that of thief-catcher. The
main stems, which run along for sew

are many of them quite smooth, but
they send out slender tendrils that are
closely beset with short and stGGlt, but
very sharp, thorns arranged in whorls,
and pointing back toward the base.
These tendrils, or feeders, catch hold
of anything soft that comes in contact
with them, and the only way for man
to get loose when caught, is to stop
and pull the tendril forward.
The "thief-catcher" is made by bind
ing lot of these tendrils to the tines OF
a forked stick, the thorRs all pointing
toward the crotch. The handle is five
or six feet long.
An officer armed with one of these
instruments goes TO arrest desperate

In the Catskills and other parts of
New York State curious industry
consists in converting beech trees into
wood -four. A whole trunk is stripped
CT its bark, put into huge mechanism,
which is practically apencil sharpener
on vast scale, and cut into miles of
the finest ribbons. These are thrown
into a mill and converted into wood
meal or wood flour. This is used, it is
said, for making paper, although the
farmers hint it is taken West by Gov
eminent contractors to feed the Indians
and supply our army with daily bread
In very dry summer weather this dust
fills the air of the mill and is often ex-
plosive. Twice there have been acct
dents of the kind in this industry.
