Buried Standing Up.

1t is not generally known that Ben JON
son was buried standing in Westminster
Abbey, and that the stone with the in
seription, 90, Rare Ben Jonson," rests
above the crown of his head In Dean
Buckland's day the grave was opened to
ascertain if the tradition that the dramatist
was buried upright was true. Some of
the resurrectionists, however, not satisfied
with establishing the truth of the tradition,
carried off as relics thigh bone Of the
poet and his skull, to which was still at
tached some locks of his flaming red hair.
Draper, who was the contributor of a
weekly article to London illustrated pa :
per, was so scandaized at the dissertation
that he intimated to the scientist and
writer who had appropriated the skull his
intention of gibbeting him in that journal
if the relic was not forthwith restored to
the grave. The threat was effective. The
grave was reopened and the skull now rests
as it did, underneath the small diamond
shaped stone.

Costly Hat At Lenox.

No need for any signing swain to seek
In Rradstreet's the financial standing of the
father of one fair Lenox sojourner. A hat
which figures in her millinery collection
tells the story at a glance. Only a girl
backed by bank account of at least seven
digits would have ventured to invest in
this connection, for, while it Melted Paris
milliner cool 5000, its component mate
rails are so fragile that exposure to sud
den shower or even to damp night air
would work its ruin forever, reducing it to
state where even its owners maid would
scorn it as perquisite. 1t is large mush-
room-shaped affair in burnt butter colored
dotted tulle, the material being thickly
shirred and the edges bound with a simple
band Of velvet to match. The hat is un-
lined, one of its principal charms being the
transparent view it affords of softly ar
ranged brown hair beneath the dropping
folds of tulle. The sole trimming is big
cluster of costliest white aigrettes, set at
one side.

Horse Talk.

Keep the flies out of the stable, though
it is pretty hard job.
Annoyance from flies is often more
wearing on the horses than hard work.
Keep the stalls and stable yards clean,
so that insects will not be attracted.
Sprinkle the floors we'll with land plaster
to absorb ammonia and odors.
At night the work horses should be
turned into a small field near the barn,
but they should first have regular feed
of grain and hay in the stable.
After every days work the horses
should be well brushed and the legs washed
from the knees down.
1t is often the little things that are over
looked that cause untold suffering to the
patient horse.
Is he tied so short that he cannot lie
down?
Is he given water the last thing before
closing the stable for the night?

Shot a Bear in Her Garden.

A black bear weighing $50 pounds was
killed on October Mountain recently by
Mrs. Charles Witham, slight little wo-
man 25 years old, wife of the farmer in
charge of the Whitney estate,
Mrs. Witham is dead shot, but she
confessed that she was startled as she
looked out of her kitchen window and saw
the bear browsing among the berry bushes.
She did not lose her nerve, however, but
took down her husbands double barreled
shotgun and gave Bruin the contents of
both barrels. She had fair mark at a
distance of not over 80 PAGES, and the
bear was almost instantly killed.
The animal wasskinned by Mr.. Witham
and rug will be made of the skin, while
the meat will furnish the larder.
Fred Ham and Robert Dewey drove up
to the estate Thursday with trunk and
came across black bear, presumably the
same one shot today. 1t chased the men,
who were unarmed, some distance down
the mountain.
