Strange as 1t may seem, Paine's
bones do not rest beneath the monu-
ment. Twenty-Five years after he was
buried the bones were stolen, pre-
sumably by William Cobett, the Eng
lish agitator. II Is stated that Cobett
went at night with two colored men,
and under the pretext that he was to
take the body to England TO bury 1t
In Westminster Abbey, dug 1t up and
sent 1t away in a covered wagon. Mai.
Andrew Coutant of New Rochelle. a
former friend OF Paine, was passing
at the time, and saw the men at work
with lanterns. He notified the New
Rochelle constables, who pursued the
wagon to Harlem Bridge, where they
lost track of 1t.
Numerous theories have been adj
vanced as TO Cobett's motive in steal
ing Paine's body, and as to the SUISSE
quent disposition of it. According to
one story, the people of England re-
fused to allow the body to be buried
in Westminster Abbey, and Cobett, to
avoid arrest, threw it into the Thames
Others say that the body was exhibited
in a museum, and still others say 1t
was taken to the East indies. The
Paine monument Is visited annually by
thousands of tourists.
The followers of the great patriot
hold annual memorial service there,
Usually on July Fourth.

Mrs. Maybrick especially deplores the
debasing effect of the harsh prison
regime upon young girls.
1.-THE conviction of young girls to
penal servitude is shocking, for 1t de-
stroys the chief power of prevention
that prisons are supposed to posses So,
and accustoms the young criminal to
a reality which has far less terror Tor
her than the idea of 1t had. Prison life
is entirely demoralizing to any girl
under twenty years of age, and 1t is to
prevent such demoralizing influence
upon young girls that some more
humane system of punishment should
be enacted"
The example of Mrs. Maybrick her
self is an instance of the ability of
a mature woman to rise above the
facilitating influence of prison life.

Vieissitudes of their fortunes their

incident and with a sharpness of out
line and transparency that present a

The story is made clear in every fea-
ture by concise statement of the Eu-
ropean conditions in so far as they
are the causative influences of New
World movements. The interest of
France and Spain in the South wanes.
and in its place we have the story of

first settlements at Roanoke. the fight

troubles, the nascent spirit of rebel

Stamp Act; thus the foundation and
upbuilding of the Virginia colony are
placed clearly before the reader. Caro-

sentation; while the story of Louisiana
is given in terms that cannot fail to
interest the reader and amply reward

A CURIOUS PHENOMENON.
The singular Noises st Nakoss, en-

A singular phenomenon occurs on the
borders Of the Red sea ut place called

unknown number OF centuries. IL Is
situated nj about half mile distant
from the shore. whence long reach of
sand ascends rapidly 10 a hcighss@f 800
feet. Th,s reach Is about ~ feet wide
and resembles an amphitheater. being
walled 10y low rocks. The sounds com.

but ere long there IL heard loud

Ave minutes becomes 81 strong as "a

there Is convent under the ground

OF the bell which the monks ring for
prayers. SO they call II Nakous. which
means n bell. The Arabs affirm that
