GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY.

Every now and then we see in some
newspaper the query, Where is Pat

Richmond constantly ask to be shown
his grave, with the mistaken idea that
it is in that city, where muck of his
public career was passed. Fav people
comparatively know that the l.an who
acquired the title of THE Taague of
the Revolution" lies in quiet grave
on the estate in Charlotte county where
he formerly lived. Over it is marble
slab inscribed with one line Ellis fame

The estate lies on Staunton river, 3S
miles from the town of Lynchburg, near
the border line which separates Char.
lotte and Campbell counties 1t derived
its name OF Red Hill from the peculiar
color of the soil in that vicinity. When
Patrick Henry bought the place, it com
prised about D, 500 acres. Tho land Is
rich--there was saying in the neigh.
borhood that poor land and Henry could
never be mentioned together--corn

fields and abundant prosperity. It's sit.
uation in early times was very remote
Neighbors were few, one of the nearest
being the celebrated John Randolph of
Roanoke, who lived in his chosen soil.

Red Hill is now owned by Henry's
grandson, William Writ Henry, u
clever, cultivated gentleman of the
"old school. He has in his possession
some most interesting relics Of his cele-
brated grandfather, including the desk
he always used, which still contains his
letters from Lafayette, Washington,
Madison and other great men of early
days; the large, round backed chair in
which Patrick Henry died and portrait
of him by the elder Sully. under which
hangs u yellowed slip of paper, signed
by Chief Justice John Marshall and

One cause of the low standing of tho
teachers calling is lack of extended
professional training Professions easily
entered are not usually highly respect
ed. The medical profession has been
cited as an illustration. Not long ago,
when one could be a physician without
special training, the profession was not
very highly esteemed. Now, when ex-
tended training is demanded both by
public opinion and by law, the profes-
sion is respected as one of the highest.
In like manner tho teaching profession
would undoubtedly increase in favor

ed. In fact, we find the respect for the
profession varying in different countries
and in different grades of the school
system almost in direct ratio to the
education and professional training re-
quired of candidates. Forum.

HE WAS WELL MADE UP.
The Cause of Wonderful hit Made by
the Late viii Nye.

James Whitcomb Riley tells a quaint
story of his former locturing partner.
Bill Nye. 1t was the opening of their
joint season. They had both been rusti.
eating during the vacation and wore
brown us berries. Nyc look, ""'l like
an Othello In his sunbuiLpa o up,
and Riley suggested to him the 4, : ylica-
tion of some "liquid Whit, a cosmetic
much affected by the gentler scx of the
profession.
Nye sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the kind
before he filled the palm of his hand
with it and carefully smeared it over
his countenance. There was no mirror
in his primitive dressing room, and
Riley was beautifying himself on the
other side of the stage.
The "Jiquid white" dries out some
what like whitewash, and when Nye
appeared before the audience he was u
sight TO behold. His head looked like
frosted top piece on u wedding cake.
His face, white as the driven snow, was
expressionless and blank. The audience
shrieked, and when he came of from
his first selection they demanded his
reappearance. lie Obliged them to howls
of laughter. Again he made his exit,
and again was redemanded by the up
roarious audience.
Believing he had made hit, he was
about to return to the stage when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye,
who cried william Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?'
Nothing but its usual expression,
my dear.
Expression Fiddlesticks You re a
fright" cried his wife, and leading
him to where there was piece of broken
looking glass showed him how ho
looked.
Nye was mortified, and catching
sight of Riley, just about going on the
stage, he would have undoubtedly fol.
lowed him on and been revenged but
for the intervention of Mrs Nye
His head was scraped, combed and
washed, and his next selection was read
without "a hand'' from the audience.

READING SEALED LETTERS.

BE Accomplished.

A German Scientist Shows How This May
BE Accomplished.
It is not generally known that sealed
letters may in many cases be read with
out opening the envelopes or doing them
the least injury 1t was discovered by u
German Psychologist by the use of an
embryoscope or egg glass, that the
shells Of eggs were of very unequal
thickness.
IL occurred to him to make expert
ments in order to ascertain how many
leaves of ordinary letter or official pa
per must be laid above and below u
written leaf in order to make it illegible
to highly sensitive eye in the direct
sunlight He found that after he had
rested his eye in dark room for 10 OF
10 minutes he cold read piece of writ
ing over the mirror of the embryoscope
that had been covered with eight layers
of paper.
He called in other observers to con-
firm this. The letters however, that
could thus be deciphered were written
in dark ink on one side of the paper
only. If four written sides were folded
d together, and especially if there had
been crossing, it was hard to make out
the drift of the writing, and there are
some kinds of writing which, when
folded twice or thrice, admit too little
light for tho purpose of deciphorment
In this way possibly many of tho per.
formances of "clairvoyants" may be ex-
planned. BY means of the egg glass il
is, as Il rule, easier to make out the con-
tents of letter or telegram without the
slightest tampering with the envelope
than it is to detect the movements of
the embryo in the egg.
Suppose the writer of a billet, the
contents of which are known only to
himself, let's it out of his hand and loses
sight Of it for five minutes. 1t may bo
readily carried either into the direct
sunlight or into electric or magnesium
light and be read by the aid of the egg
glass. The placing of a piece of car
fridge paper in the envelope or the COL
oring Of 1t black is q means of defense
at hand.

MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS.
Tie Armies of Europe Have Various Rules
=. Regulating IL.

Tho restrictive conditions ut present in
force with regard to tho marriage of
officers in the Russian army forbid this
privilege under any circumstance in the
case of officers under the age of 23. Be-
tween the ages of 23 and go years the
dot of an officers wife must amount to
sum representing the minimum in
come of 250 rubles yearly
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same question
in other European armies it may be
noted that in tho Austria Hungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage is limited by fix
ed proportion assigned to each grade,
and these totals being reached. all fur
ther marriages must be deferred pend
ing the occurrence of vacancies in the
married establishments.
The Italian army regula tions, which
fix the income Of the fiancce at mini
mum of from l,200 to 1000 lire. would
appear 10 bo more rational in their
operation. Italian officers, however, ap-
ply somewhat liberal Interpretation to
this law, with the result that the mum.
Der OF marriages occurring under actual
provisions does not exceed more than an
eighth of the total number, seven
eighths of the officers being united un-
der the conditions of the religious cere-
mony only, and thus exposing them
selves to all the Inconvenience which
attend a marriage not recognized by
civil law.
Similar disabilities would now ap-
pear to be incurred by Russian officers,
and suggestions have been made by the
press in Russia that general revision
OF the law is becoming necessary. The
question is assuming some importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
reaching total number Of nearly 40, :
600, represent one of the most impor-
tant classes in the state. Brooklyn Cit
