The Log of the MayfIower.

We are not all Puritans certainly, nut
we are all interested to learn that the
original log of the Mayflower is to be sent
to this country. IL has been in possession,
by a strange chance, of the bishop OF Lon
don. rather, of the see over which the
bishop exercises jurisdiction. Thence
it could only be removed, it seems, by a
decree of the conSstory court OF dlocese.
An application to the court was mado by
the American ambassador in behalf OF the
President and the people OF the United
States. That application has been granted
by the court, subject to the giving OF an
undertaking by Mr.. Bayard that the log
shall he depositedin a suitable place, where
all persons concerned may have access to
1t. For the log is ot only record OF the
eventfui voyage of this immortal little
vessel, but register of births, ma arrlages
and deaths, SO that property and other
interests are involved
The Government and historical societies
of Massachusetts nave naturally been the
prime movers in this matter. The log, is
nevertheless, to 20 to the President OF
the United States, who is regarded in
England as the proper custodian OF it
He may DOUBTLESS send it to Massachusetts
to the Old Bay State, to Plymouth colony,
to some spot ard in the care OF some
official of the State which inherits those
ancient colonial names and memories
There the log book belongs. There let 1t
rest 1t will be one more object or
patriotic interest.

Some New Beauty Hints.

A Chicago woman, who is no less cele-
brated for her beauty than for her walk and
apparently spontane Gus poses, has im-
parted few hints on acquiring grace. 1t
appears from the confession of this candid
woman that grace of figure is no more
spontaneous than is, as a usual thing
beauty of face. She herself has acquired
both and she frankly tells at what cost.
To acquire poetry of movement, she says,
go to the theater and study the best act
resses. Literally study them More can
be learned in one evening from graceful
woman like Miss Ellen Terry, who has
really no other beauty than from hours
of practicing before the mirror The mirror
work should come afterward, when the
principles OF graceful motion and pose
have been mastered by observation The
secret of a good walk is even simpler.
Find n poem with particularly grace
full rhythm and say q stanZa or two over
and over as you walk. A rhythmic walk
will necessarily develop as the result A
girl who walks with poetry in her mind
and on her lips will show poetry in her
walk For a beautiful face the recipe is
not so new, though it is one that ever holds
good. Read good books. These will lead
to habits of mind which cannot but leave
their imprint on the face. 1t is rule that
has never been known to fail.-ChicaSo

Unusual Demonstrations at Burial
of the BOrreCo Assassins.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, April 4 The funeral
Of the four Borrego assassins was held
this morning at z O'Clock from the Cathe-
dral, and the promise of the dead mems
friends that it would be demonstration
calculated to impress the people that the
men were unjustly hanged, at least three
of them, was verified.
Never before in Santa Fe's mortuary his
tory had such u large number of people
attended the last services TO the dead,
which partook in a great measure of a
political character. The Cathedral was
jammed with people, and at the close of
the services the procession that followed
the bodies to the grave was the most
pretentious ever Witnessed here.
Tomorrow morning at o'clock a requiem
mass will be sung. Among those VINO at
tended the funerals was Jose BOIrego, a
young brother of two of the deceased, who
is serving two years sentence in the pen
itentiary for assault with intent to KILL
Gov. Thornton having granted him permis-
sion to go under guard.
1t is admitted now even by their friends
that Frank Borrego killed ex-Sheriff Sha-
vez, aided by HipolitO Vigil, ex-chlef OF
police, who was subsequently killed by
the sheriff posse, but the other three, they
claim, died martyrs.
