of a name for the material composing it
1t is called glass.
The story behind the interesting relic
is not very long one, but 1t Is full of
interest. The bottle was given to Stith
Bishop, a soldier in Washington's army
and an ancestor of Robert Bishop, the
present owner. Mr.. Bishop was an or
derby at Washington's headquarters dur
ing the siege of Yorktown. 1t was prob
ably after the surrender of CORVALLIS
that General Washington sent Orderly
Bishop over to Williamsburg on business.
After giving him various directions re-
garding what he was to do in the old
capital, General Washington gave to his
orderly the bottle and told him to have
it filled with good whiskey at a tavern
in Williamsburg. There is no tradition
as to the brand the soldier was directed
to purchase, which Is unfortunate, as
the enterprising distiller of today would
find it an excellent name for the liquor
he is making at present. Mr.. Bishop did
remember that the general charged him
to be careful not to break or lose the
bottle, as 1t was a present made him by
the Marquis of Lafayette.
OF course, orderly Bishop once knew
why he did not return the flask, and of
course he told tie family when he came
home from the war; but the reason is

AAoR1s ARE INCREASING.
A Polynesian Race That Has Taken
an Upward Turn.

The census recently taken in New
Zealand shows that the Maori population
of that colony is increasing in number,
pared with 1868 in 1896. and lesser num-
bers in preceding years. Commenting
on this fact, which has excited consider
able interest throughout Australasia, the
Melbourne Argus remarks:
The increase suggests a chance OF
permanent survival. Think of the
nelplessness of all Pacific islanders
against European microbes! We willing
ly spend enormous sums of money and
endure vexatious qua antine system to
keep out smallpox and bubonic plague.
The Pacific islanders have had no de-
tense. Consumption, measles, influenza
to which We have become, by long ac-
quaintance, in some degree immune or
hsrdened-haye devastated the islands
So the Maori suffered. His way of liv-
ing, his contempt for sanitary usages
and precautions, exactly suited our NIL
crobes. They attacked the tattooed war
riors and vanquished them with appalling
ease. They could not stand up against
their invisible foes. The race seemed
doomed 70 disappear, and the other race
deplored the prospect. For though the
Maori in his primitive state was a saw
age, and given to eating as well as kill
ing his enemy, he had some fine qualities.
He had a gift of logic and another of
poetic imagination; he was eloquent as
well as brave; and his code of conduct
was lot without lines of nobility. He
loved the soil on which his ancestors
had fought and devoured one another.
and he longed with pathetic intensity
that his people might always live. When
the two races became reconciled, the
white New Zealander also wished that
his dusky countryman might be spared.
He treated him handsomely. To the
fullest extent possible he admitted him
to the rights and privileges of citizen
ship. And the Maori responded to Brit
ish kindness and justice. Only the
microbes threatened his survival. Let US
hope that the improvement disclosed by
the census announces that the race Is
getting the upper hand In the struggle.
The survival of the Maori will make
picturesque history"

Relics OF the Father of His Country

interest of the great majority of the
stories which Parson Weems began tell

believed by two or three generations of
young Americans.
The relic in question Is a whiskey flask,
which has for a long time been on the
center table in the parlor of the pretty
home of Robert F. Bishop. of Southamp-
ton County. 1t has been in his family
for over a century-eyer since his an

sum paid for it will be about. that which

The flask holds half pint and is of ole
fashioned blue glass. Running over the
outside are seams of what looks like
china or porcelain. 1t is not really a
glass bottle. perhaps, but for the lacl
