BEN JoNsON's SKULL.
Though Buried in Westminster Alb

hey Its RepOse Was Not Peaceful.
From the London STANDARD.
Ben Jonson appears to have been dug
up again and again, though buried in
Westminster Abbey. Three persons at
least have distracted his skull Two of
them piously restored the trophy after a
while-but it was a different skull in each
case-while the third kept his relic. This
complication. if one thinks of it, is as fin
ished as the circumstances permit. 1t was
set forth in the Times 80 years ago. To be-
gin with, DR. Kelburne King learned by
accident that a person he knew had pick
ed up Ben Jonson's skull during a funeral
in the Abbey and at that moment pos
sessed it; the good doctor denounced this
outrage TO the universe. But then arose
Mr.. Frank auckland, declaring the object
could not be genuine, because he himself
had secured the poets skull when they
were digging a new grave beside his tomb
had hidden it after examination, and duly
replaced it when the earth was restored.
Furthermore he found it in the same
spot several years afterward, when John
Hunter was buried close by-being on the
lookout; again he hid and restored it. This
seemed conclusive. But DR.. Stanley, dean
of Westminster. requested Mr.. auckland
to draw up an official record of the circum-
stances, and for this purpose he sought
the evidence of grave-diggers and others
concerned. Among them was the former
clerk of the works, who gave evidence with
a vengeance.
He deposed that before Mr.. Buckland
came upon the scene where that new grave
mentioned was dug, he himself had res
cued Ben Jonson's skull, taken it to his
Office for safety and put it back, just as
Mr.. Buckland thought he had done when
the grave was nearly full! When John
Hunter was buried, the clerk of the works
also kept lookout, and he also found the
deposit just where he had laid it. A very
odd string of condolences. But which was
the real original of these two-not to
speak of the one which raised the debate?
Happily. that momentous question could
be decided. For the Uranium discovered
by the clerk OF the works had still some
red hair attached, the second time as the
first and Ben JOnson was red-haired. The
trouble arose from that poets eccentric
ity. He chose to be buried upright; the
earth there is little better than sand, and
thus. the coffin being deeayed, his head
came rolling down at any disturbance in
the neighNorhood. But there must be a
prodgious lot of skulls in that vicinity!
The old legend runs that Ben had a pas
sionate ambition to be buried in Westmin-
ster Abbey; but he dared not ask for such
an honor At a favorable moment he
begged Charles ! for a foot and half of
English ground. The king granted It. and
he named Westminster Abbey as the spot.
IL Is always pleasant because encourag-
ing, 20 see an old story proved true. As
the sand poured down. the clerk OF the
works distinctly observed two hipbones
fixed bolt upright ia the hollow.

THE SIXTH STREET SEWER.
A Protest Against Making 1t a Drain
for Dwellings.

I
for Dwellings.
Editor Morning News: A little while ago
there was complaint about foul oders
emanating from the mouth of the Sixth
street sewer. Dead dogs were reported to
be the cause and I presume they were
promptly removed and cremated but there
is a far greater danger remaining. The
Sixth street sewer was built for the pur
pose of draining a section of the city called
the butcher pen tract west of West Broad
street, where there was large pond, now
there are quite a number of houses in
Guiding the Georgia infirmary (the negro
hospitaD connected with said sewer. and
where is all this sewage emptied? Why

north of Seventh street on Price street.

nauseating oders, it has no dera HE

DILEMMA OF ORCHID HUNTER
Found Some Wonderful Plants in
Brazil, But Could Not Collect Them

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
There died about year ago a famous
orchid hunter named Fosterman But be-
fore he died he told of a wonderful orchid
which he said existed in Brazil. and which
it had been the ambition of his life to Sc
cure
Landing on the coast of Brazil, a few
degrees south of the equator, he met
native chief, who told him of a village
OF the demon flowers" to the westward.
Further questioning convinced him that
the demon flowers" were orchids Of the
rarest and most wonderful kind, so he de-
cided to find this village at any cost.
He had travelled through forests about
six weeks, and was calculating that in
a fortnight more he would be in the
neighborhood of the Village of flowers,
when, one afternoon, three of his for
ward guards threw up their arms and
with cry fell senseless to the ground.
He had noticed peculiar sickening odor
pervading the heavy, heated air, ana
quickly gave the order for the other men
20 advance with caution and drag back
the three fallen ones from the spot where
they lay.
They did so, and, returning. reported
that they had seen through the forest
little further on, the vast ''village OF the
Accompanied only by his Portuguese in
terpreter, the orchid-seeker started for
ward their mouths and noses muffied as
a safeguard against the awful odor. Tney
managed to reach the spot where the
three men had been stricken down, but
could go no further.
They could see a. hundred yards ahead
of them, a great mass of orchids. Trees
underground and everything else were
loaded down with them. They were Oh
hues more brilliant than he had ever seen
or dreamed Of seeing. But, like barrier,
the wall of awful, overpowering odor rose
between.
The mass of brilliant orchids might have
been a mirage painted on the clouds. 50
far as reaching them was concerned. mo
village" was, perhaps, an acre IN eA'
tent and the two made a complete aF-
cult of it, but everywhere rose the odor.
1t was simply the perfume of this Vast
mass Of orchids. Though many orchlu'
are almost scentless, some Of the hanu.
soonest ones have a scent that is alnloS1
unbearable.

to eat their bread in the sweat Of
their brows. The Power Dam
companies of Provo and Ogden

to more. With this demand for
laborers comes a corresponding
increase in wages and the small
spirited employers who have taken
advantage of the hitherto existing

their wages. If there is no influx

acreage than ever before and they

get their lands in the best
possible condition. 1t is surpris-
ing to see the vast improvement
that has been made in the prepa-
ration OF the lands since the sugar
industry has been started here,

advance along the line of progress
in learning better how to till their
lands.
