Washington was buried in what is
now known as the old vault, which is
perhaps 200 feet away from his present
resting place. Before his death he had
requested that a new family vault be
constructed after his decease, and the
reason given for this is that the earth
upon the side of the hill where the old
vault was placed was likely to slip away
in the springtime.
No attention was apparently paid to
this request, however, until about
1880, when an employee who had been
discharged from the estate broke into
the old tomb as an act of revenge and
stole a skull which he supposed to be
that of George Washington. This he
took to Alexandria, and, as usual in
such cases. ''got drunk" and so his
secret was discovered, and the skull,
which proved to be that Of Laurence
Washington instead, was returned.
This incident led to the final carrying
out of the wish of General Washington.
The tomb which is his present resting
place was promptly built, and in 1881
his remains were removed to it. The old
vault was allowed tofau into state Of
decay. and only few years ago it was
restored by the aid of drawings found
in the congressional library. An iron
fence has been built around it. and it
now receives the same care as the new
tomb. Exchange.

THEOLDBELLR RINGER

From the church of forest village
the old belfry arose high and somber,
with its steeple pointing toward the
sky, and on this Easter night weary
steps were heard ascending the winding
stairs leading to the platform where the
Mikael was slowly mounting until at
length his lantern appeared on high
like the pale glimmering of star. The
ascent was painful The old man s
limbs almost refused support and he
scarcely saw his way before him. He
was so worn out, old Mikael-so worn
outl All, it is true, it is surely time,
thought he, to depart to the land Of
rest, but God wills it not thus. HQw
many times had he aroused the night
from this belfry with the glad tidings,
"Christ is risen" l"-how many times :?
He could not exactly tell, and yet God
willed that he was still to ring the
bells
The old man approached the balus-
trade and leaned pensively thereon
Below, surrounding the church, he
vaguely perceived the cemetery of the
village bristling with 'dingy crosses,
which, with outstretched arms, had the
appearance of mounting guard over the
dead slumbering beneath them. Thickets
of birch trees, still denuded of their
foliage, inclined above the tombs, and
as Mikael gazed on the melancholy
scene a voice from below suddenly
aroused him:
"Mikael! Mikaell"
The voice was feeble and trembling
, The aged deacon Of the village looked
up. He tried to see the platform of the
belfry, his hands curved over his wink
ing eyes in order to have better view
s'I am here. What wouldst thou have p
asked the bell ringer, half leaning over
the balustrade. "Dost thou not see
me?"
s'No, I do not see thee. Dost thou
not think it is time to ring the bells?"
Mikael looked at the stars The thou
sand fires of heaven sparkled in the
azure
''No, not yet. Wait little while, -
answered the bell ringer.
He had no need Of watch. The
stars would tell him when the hour had
come
The heavens and the earth, the white
clouds floating in the azure, the somber
forest, and even the little murmuring
river running in the shadows, spoke to
him in language he understood, for
there was close communion between
him and these things. It was not in
vain that all his life had centered in
this belfry.
Now all the distant past arose before
him. He recalled the day when for the
first time he mounted on this platform
with his father.
And he saw himself a child, with
bright eyes, and fair hair floating in
the wind. But it seemed to him that
wind was not the same as this which
raised the binding dust Of the high
ways. Mol it was breath from on high
that only swept the SUBMITS. In the
vision Of his childhood this forest reced-
ed to distance without bounds, while
the clearing which inclosed it spread
out immeasurably.
81; ttHowever, it is here before me all en-
tire said the old man with smile, in
embracing the narrow space with sin
gle glance.
And this truly was his life. AS child
he saw no end, and yet from the first
day until the last he was held in this
narrow space, as in the hollow Of the
hand. However, the hour had come

People who wish to make right use OF aco-

subject Naturally, they look to the hygiene
journals for reliable information, as the layman
has but little time to investigate along this line;
moreover it requires technical knowledge
which the masses do not possess to pronounce
intelligenty upon the hygicnic value OF such
beverages
Learned physicians, knowing the value OF pure
alcoholic beverages, continue TO order their pa
tients to use them, warning them to obtain only
the purest for these practitioners are well aware
OF the bad effects which follow the use OF bcver-
ages in which the dstiller, in order to reduce the
cost Of manufacture introduces oheaply prepared
chemical preparations TO take the place Of ma
lures pure grain.
The relation OF the health journals to this most
important question is vital one Alcoholic bey-
erages are being used extensively, have been. and
will be, and the temptation to adultcrate these
product, is growing greater, rather than less.
The standard OF quality to insist upon is that OF
absolute purity, and every adultcra,ed beverage
should come under the ban OF the seycrest fiat

so that the public can be aided to this extent in
