Three years later, Zerubbabel, the col
onial physician, saw the light on the
Orchard Farm. 1t was he who built
the old-fashioned homestead, still
standing-with its quaint, low-studded
roominess-not far from the site Of the
original house and that older survivor,
the pear tree.
DR.. Zerubbabel, Endicott's second
wife, who outlived him, was Elizabeth
Winthrop, daughter Of John Winthrop,
Jr., governor of Connecticut, and in his
will she is thus lowered: "She shall
enjoy my now dwelling-house so long
as she shall be pleased to live upon the

The owners Of the Defender mani
fest confidence in the power OF their
boat to contest creditably and, prob
ably, successfully, with the flectest yes
sells that Europe can produce. 1t Is
their intention to sail her in the waters
of the English Channel and the Medi-
terranean Sea, and to compete In all the
French and English races that are open
to foreign craft. 1t is to be hoped that
the Defender will meet VallSyric III. on
her own cruising grounds, and That the
contest may be unmarried by accident
The American belief is that the Defend
er can outsall the Valkyrie, or any
other yacht, on any course and in any
weather. Nothing will be more graft
flying than proof positive Of the sound
ness Of that belief. The confidence OF
the owners Of the Defender is shared
by all their countrymen, and their reso-
luton is approved by all.

This year the Swiss government has
made new departure in the way of
monopolizing manufacture. 1t has de-
clared the making Of matches federal
exclusive right. The gains derived
therefrom will not go into the federal
treasury, but will be expended, first,
toward improving the manufacture of
matches, and, second, to reduce as
much as possible their selling price.
The use Of yellow phosphorus in the
manufacture Of matches is prohibited,
because 1t is injurious to the health Of
the workmen employed in match fac
tories, and because 1t is, in many ways,
dangerous to the public. The sale Of
matches in retail way will be open
to all, subject, however, to such re-
strictive regulations as will prevent
misuse, the government supplying the
retail trade exclusively. Federal legls-
lation will regulate the traffic.

Enclosure. Several slaves were also in

MIser,s Money Goes Up in Flames.

Ben Stillman, an old miser, living
in Marion county, Ala, lost the savings
of lifetime few nights ago. He had
opened box in which he kept his for
tune, about $4,000, and was counting
the money on table with the intention
of depositing it in bank, an attempt
having recently been made to rob him.
While thus engaged he imagined he
heard some one trying to effect an en-
trance into his house, and, rising sud
denly, he overturned the table, on
which, beside his greenbacks, was a
kerosene lamp. The lamp exploded,
burning the money, the dwelling, and
all of its contents, excepting the miser,
who barely escaped with his life, being
so badly burned in trying to save his
treasure it is thought he will die.

pretty. To be worn with gingham, or,
in fact, any of the cotton dresses, there
are deep collars of null trimmed with
embroidery. They are made To form a

because they launder easily and so
