The Standish Farm.

And after the fighting was over, and
peace settled upon the little colony, and the
time came, as it did in General Joshua IS
day, to make division of the land, they
assigned to Captain Standish a big farm with
considerable hill in the midst of 1t. over
here in Duxbury. And on that hill to-day
stands the Captains monument, tall stone
shaft with a statue of Standish at the top.
That is what was thinking of when said
that Standish never claimed to bo a saint,
for he looks like st. Simeon Stylites, like q
seventeenth century Stylites, perched there
aloft on his old pillar, and mercifully
petrified.
Myles Standish is the most conspicuous
citizen of Duxbury. 1t is with great diff
Guilty that you lose sight of him. The most
casual visitor, unless he is stone blind-and
he would need to be deaf also-cannot tarry
a day in Duxbury without becoming aware
that this town was founded by man
named Standish. The tall pillar dominates
the whole horizon.
And yet it was only in the spring of this
year that anybody knew for certain where
this famous old captain was buried. There
were three traditions each one of them
about as vague as the Identification of the
Holy Coat of Treyes,

A Hard Matter to Determine.

Somebody said that somebody's great
great grandfather, when he pointed out to
inquiring visitors the place where Standish
was buried, was wont to stand in the north
east window of somebody's house. There
was some doubt about the house. But there
were some bones found once in a piece of
ground which could have been seen from
the southwest window of one of the possible
houses. And the wise said that the bones
were the bones Of Standish. So there was
Shrine Number One.
Justin Winsor, however, Librarian of Har-
ward University, wrote book good while
ago about Duxbury, in which he located the
captains grave in quite another place.
Somebody was digging while Mr.. Winsor
was writing, and the spade unearthed new
discovery of bones. These Mr.. Winsor, for
some reason or other, thought might be the
bones of Standish. And. accordingly there
was Shrine Number Two. This second burial
place Mrs Jane G. Austin, author of stand
ish of Stsndish"-a book which can be found
among the baggage of every well provided
summer boarder observation-disclosures into
the plot ofa projected novel.
Curiously enough, these two burial places
were neither OF them by the side of any
road, ancient or modern; they we're both
difficult of access; neither was on ground
ever owned by Standish, and neither was
near the accepted site of the old church. No
body could give any reason for, really loca-
ting the soldiers grave at either of these i'm
probable places except the discovery of
human bones The bones may have been
the bones of Standish. The bones in st. Ur-
sula's Church in Cologne may have been the
bones of the IL 900 virgins. The only abso-
lutely certain fact is that behold, here are
bones!

A Bold EXPLORER.

Now comes my friend the Rev. Mr..
Hinginn, with pair of good eyes and an
understanding mind, and stout spade.
There is a third traditional locality in the
old graveyard that, at least, is a natural
place to look for a grave. The burial place
of Standish. so an old record says was
marked by two triangular, pyramiual
stones. And here sure enough, are two
notable stones, exactly answering that
ancient description. Down digs Mr. Hin
ginn with his unimaginative spade and
here is a skeleton-but the skeleton is that
of u woman. Never mind, let US keep on
digging. So down goes the spade again, next
to the woman's grave and a trench is made.
Here now are five skeletons-a woman, u
man, woman again, and two chiluren.
But these five exactly correspond to the
first five deaths in the family of Myles STAN
dish. He was buried, so the old records say,
next to his favorite daughter; indeed, be-
tween two of his daughters, with his two
little boys beyond. Eureka then there is
no longer any room for doubt about it. Here
in Duxbury graveyard, beneath this narrow
space of earth lies the body of Standish, the
Puritan captain, the hero of the most
famous of unsuccessful courtships, the
Sword -the-Whitc- men.

The First Meeting House,

in corner of this old graveyard can
be traced the foundations of the old meeting
house, the first meeting house built in this
second oldest town of New England. These
stones were laid by men who came over in
the Mayflower. You can see where the door
way was. In and out, here where now YOU
lie upon the grass and think about it, went
those strong-hearted, God-fearing, liberty
loving people to whom we owe much that is
best and most Characteristic and essential
in our national life. Here Standish came ON
Sabbath days, bringing his sword with him
Here across these brown fields, walked John
Alden and Priscilla.
Alden and Priscilla are still living names
in Duxbury. You can visit the house which
John Alden's son built, and in which Pris-
ella died. The eighth generation of the
house of Alden still owns this house and
lives in it, fine-faced, bent old man, red
checked and white-whiskered and here Won
NAV make the acquaintance with a little.
shy barefooted Priscilla, ninth of that name
half a dozen years of age. The first j ohm
Alden and the first Priscilla must have
watched the building of this house-a stout
house still. The great beams run across the
ceiling; beneath the cheap wallpaper the old
walls are strong as stone. You drink out of
the old well whose water John and Priscilla
tasted You look over the bank beside the
well and there runs the Old Colony Railroad.
The present and the long past come close to-
gether. Oliver Cromwell was turning the
Long Parliament finally out of doors while
this house was building.

tricts, and do their best to carry the politics
their way.
Notice was received at the executive de-
partment at Atlanta, Monday, from z. T.
Wilson of Calhoun, Ga, that he would con-
test the election for tax receiver of Gordon
county. There will be no contest, however,
the notice came too lac. The other mans
commission foc the place had already been

rs HIGHEST AWARDS

From Scientific Societies and Exhibitions prove
the high excellence of the genuine Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract, over all limitations which
have been brought before the public.
The genuine article has been popular for
forty years, and has world wide reputation as
a Tonic Nutritive, for the Weak and Debilitat-d
and for mothers while nursing. 1t is of the
greatest value for coughs, colds and pulmonary
troubles, sleeplessness and nervous disorders.
Petra Santa, the well-known professor of
Paris, in his work on pulmonary disease, avs:
II regard Johann Hof's Malt Extract of i'm
mense value to the practitioner who wishes to
bring to his aid preparation which will not
only act as tonic, but as q nutrient as well
and is less exciting than wine or any other
stimulant'
There is nothing "just as good" when you
can get the GENUINE article, which must have
the signature of Johann Hoff'' on the neck of
every bottle. Avoid limitations sold as 'Hoff's
Extract"

A BCc's ELECTRIC BITE.
It Appears TO Have Converted Mamie

It Appears TO Have Converted Mamie
Lurker Into a Storage Battery.
From the Philadelphia Times
A case without precedent in the annals OF
medical treatment is that of little Mamie
Lurker, who was bitten few days ago by
a bug falling from an electric wire, and is
now suffering with peculiar case Of what
her physicians call blood poisoning. and
with her flesh tingling to the touch like a
storage battery.
Mamie lives at 4OS South Eighth street.
Her father is a retired ane wealthy grocer.
A fex days before Christmas she paid
visit to her uncle, DIR. Carberry, who lives
in the neighborhood Of Eighth street and
Girard avenue.
In the afternoon she walked down Girard
avenue with her aunt. A short is,ance
below Eighth street sind suddenly stopped,
staggered, and, putting both hands to her
face, screamed:
81 am shot,
Mrs. Carberry grasped the tottering girl
by the arm. Then she seized her hands, but
Immediately staggered back as if struck by
the full force of an electric battery.
At the same time man among the crowd
that had quickly collected stamped under
his feet peculiar bright-hued bug, hard
shelled and bottle shaped, which had
fallen fr m the girls face.
01dLnlS was taken at once 10 n6r unCteS
house. On her cheek was bright crimson
colored and rapidly fostering sore that
looked as though tingernail had scraped
the flesh.
Little would have been thought OF the
accident had il not been for the symptoms
of the girl, who was nervous AID uneasy,
whose grasp sent an indefinable tingling
sensation to the hands of everybody who
touched her.
The family physician, Dr. de Beust of
1901 South street diagnosed the case as
| bullia. OF vascular poisoning, and admi :
J Istered the remedies usual in cases of that
kind. To his establishment, however, the
bright-hued sore on the cheek was followed
by other bright-hued eruptions on every
| part Of the body, and each one emitting the
same peculiar tingling sensation when
touched. DIR. de Beust mad consultation
| with other physicians. and made the patient
the subject of his unremittiug attention.
| with the result that last night he pro-
| nounced her out Of danger, though still
| suffering from the inoculated electric bite.
Reports OF tle strange case quickly
| spread throughout the neighborhood, and a
number of medical students boarding in
the vicinity made it the object of special
| inquiry. The bug had evidently fallen
| from one wire TO another, and then,
charged like miniature storage battery,
dropped upon the upturned face of the
| young girl, where he fastened himself until
| brushed to the ground.
DR.. de Beust said that In his opinion the
| bug was of a Brazilian species brought to
| this country in the year of the centennial
| The insect in itself is not known to be
poisonous, and is distinguished for its pecul-
| lar appearance.

a WONDERFUL 1NvaNTIoN.
If 1t Has Really Been Constructed 1t
Will Produce Marvels.
From, the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
The accounts that come across the At
lantic of an electric invention made by a
DR.. Mandruft in Geneva, Switzerland, have
q strong SAVIOR Of improbability, to say the
least. The machine is described as an ex-
tremely simple device, a solid sphere of
copper, 40 centimetres in diameter-about
16 inches-oontained within sphere of zinc
so centimeires In diameter.
The two spheres revolve IN opposite direc
tions at rate of 500 revolutions in q min
ute, and the space between is kept filed
with steam at the rate of six atmospheres
1t Is said that from half horse power of
motive force an electric current is devel-
oped sufficient to run 800 incandescenU
lamps. AS ten lamps are reckoned to a
horse power, this means fifty horse power
in electricity.
Now this would be absolutely absurd were
1t claimed that so small an amount of mo-
tive power alone produced such an aston
ishing result. The law of conversion of
energy shows it to be impossible to develop
from y device whatever more force than
is applied to the operation of that device.
it would be getting something out Of moth
ing, or like the proverhial effort TO lift ones
self by the uoot straps. If there is any basis
to the story, the electric power must be de-
veloped mainly through a conversion of the
energy resident either in tue heat or some
other property Of the steam, under some
hitherto unknown mechanical or chemical
principle.
Shoald these reports be verified, or the
conversion of heat into electricity be
effected in some other way, the results
would, indeed, be almost beyond limits of
conjecture In the changes wrought. An ex-
trao binary cheapening of light and motive
power would be brought about, and the C st
Of all kinds of mechanical production
would be correspondingly diminished.
Labor saving devices of all sorts would be
more generally introduced. Electric heat
ing, insteai of being merely theoretically
practicable, would probably become the
cheapest form of heat for domestic uses, as
well as the most convenient.
Another far-reaching result would be the
introduction of cheap aluminium. That re-
markable metal, the most abundant in its
crude state of any on earth, is now most
extensively produced by the means of pow
erful electric currents, and with source of
electric energy it could probably be manu-
featured as cheaply as iron.
