'sCossting'' on the Bible.

A friend Of the Listener has seen q
funny sight down in Maine. At a place
there, which needn't be named, there
lives q small boy named Jonathan
Longfellow, who Is a third OF fourth
cousin of the poet; and he is a great
boy, too. One day this friend Of the
Listener was driving past Jonathan's
house, and saw the boy engaged at a
little distance in sliding downhill, on a
slippery crust on something that was
not a sled. What could 1t be? Evident
ly the scrutiny Of the passerby was OBJ
served by the boy, for he stopped his
coasting and called out amiably: I'm
sliding downhill on the Bible!" And it
was the fact, too. He had got the
smooth, leathef -bouAd family Bible,

Paul Jones's BODY.

When Paul Jones died in Paris in
August, 1892, his body was placed in
a leaden coffin, apparently at his own
request, in order that it might be
easily transported to the United
States, in case his country, which he
dearly loved and for which he had
performed such important service,
should send for it. With the pro-
verbal ingratitude of republics, his
country neglected this duty until 1851.
when some effort was made to find
the hero's remains and bring them
home, but the place of burial could
not be identified and the search for
them was soon abandoned. Now q
French archa ologist, M. de Ricaudy,
thinks he has discovered the exact
spot where Jones' body was buried,
and resolutions have been introduced
in both houses of Congress looking to
its removal and reinterment at Ar
lington. It is hoped that, if the
body can be found, it can be,identi-
fed as that OF John Paul Jones be-
yond a doubt. The coffin itself, if
found, will be a means of identified
ton, and it is thought probable that
some of the decorations which Jones
was known to wear were buried with
him and have survived in such q con-
dition as to be recognizable. If the
remains of one of this country's
greatest heroes and most p~icturesasa
characters can be found, they sssould
be brought to the United States and q
suitable monument erected ove5eethem.
