Comm Plates Once Used as House Or
#a1la Nnaments In Maine.
In New England 100 years ago it was
by no means uncommon Tor people to
provide their collins long before their
death and keep the same in their
houses, where they could see them ev-
cry day. 1t was perhaps custom hav-
ing the same purpose and significance
as the skeleton at the feasts of the an
Gent Greeks, to remind the living in
their hours of levity of the seriousness
Of life and the certainty Of death.
+ This was not the idea, however, of a
man named Lindsey, whom people now
living in Leeds may remember OF at
least have heard Of. He built his own
coffin many years before he died and
used to keep it in a chamber of his
house. He used it generally to keep
beans in. 1t was very fine coffin,
made of mahogany and nicely finished
and polished. Mr.. Lindsey made 1t
with his own hands and gave as reason
that If he left the task of providing
him with a coffin to his sons it would
be just like them to put him in a hem
lock one. Perhaps the boys did not
relish the implication. At any rate,
they did not like to have the coffin
about the house and took it away one
night and threw it into the river. It
was found several miles below, consid-
erably broken and battered as it went
over the rips, and old Lindsey heard
about it, drove down and got it and
was finally buried in it. ..
Another queer custom that prevailed
In this section of Maine down TO a
comparatively recent date was that of
removing the plate from the coffin after
the funeral and just before the body
was lowered into the grave and keeping
it in the best room in the house among
the ornaments and bric-a-brac. The
writer saw one of these grewsome ex-
hibits on the mantel Of Lincolnville
parlor not more than twenty five years
ago, and we shouldn't be surprised If
quite number of them could be found
in the old houses throughout Maine

MYSTERIES OF NATURE.
Some Of the MeHs Things That Find
No Ready ExplanatiOn.

sone o. the Mesg Things, That Find
No Ready Explanation. .ss.g
Whatever opens up new doors or
windows for Sus into the world about
us, whatever widens the field Of our
interests and sympathies, has some
sort Of value, says John Burroughs In
Country Life In America. But much
Of the so called nature. study opens no
new doors or windows. It affords no
mental satisfaction or illumination or
aesthetic pleasure. 1t is mainly potter
ing with dry, unimportant facts and
details. Do you know the edelweiss
flowers or our own matchless arbutus
after you have merely analysed and
classified them? No more than you
know a man after having weighed and
measured him. The function Of things
Is always Interesting. What do they
do? How do they pay their way in the
rigid economy Of nature? How do they
survive? Why do the roots, of trees
flow through the ground like run
nels Of molten metal Ssten separating
and uniting again, while the branches
are thrust out in right lines or curves?
Why is our common yellow birch
more often than any other tree. planted
upon rock? Why do oaks or chest
nuts SO often spring up where pine
or hemlock forest has been cleared
away? Why does lightning SO COM
monty strike hemlock tree or: a pine
or an oak and rarely or never birch ?
Why does the bolt sometimes scatter
the tree about and at others only plow
a channel down its trunk? Why does
the bumblebee complain so loudly
when working upon certain flowers?
Why does the honeybee lose the sting
when it stings person, while. the
wasp, the hornet and the bumblebee
do not? How does the chimney swal-
low get the twigs it builds its nest
with? From what does the hornet
make it's paper?
I have never been greatly interested
In spiders, but I have always wanted
to know how certain spider managed
to stretch her cable squarely, across
the road in the woods about my height
from the ground.
