A CULTURED INDIAN
TALENTED REDSkIN HAS WON
FAME IN ENGLAND.
Joseph Brant-Sero Attracting Atten.

Lineal Descendant of
Mohawk Chief.

London. - Although the educated
American Indian is fairly familiar in
the United States, in England he is
something of a curiosity. A redskin
of this class is attracting a good deal
of attention in London as lecture:
both on Indian subjects and on sub
jects of wider interest.
Joseph o. Brant-Sero is his name
and he is a lineal descendant of the
Mohawk chief, Joseph Brant, who was
an officer in the English army and
who founded the first Protestant
church in Canada. The hundredth
anniversary of Chief Joseph's death
has just been celebrated by the In
dians at Brantford, Ont.

The house has nine rooms and
number of acres of land about II. IL Is
near the railroad station. During the
25f years of existence Of this property
1t has always been occupied, with one
exception, by person named Alden.
The old homestead. according to the
story generally told TO visitors in Dux-
bury, was not built by John the Pill
grim. A site east of the present house
is pointed out as having been the place
where John and Priscilla dwelt. and
1t is commonly stated that the house
built by Johns own hands was de
stroyed by fire. and the exact 81 It is
pointed out John W. Alden. the tenth

not correct. He declares that John
and Priscilla occupied a house OF
which the ell on the present house was
a part. and that timbers from the first
house are now in existence in the
present house.
The ell. which is a story and half
high, is undoubtedly older than the
main house. which is two and half
stories, and has all the marks which
distinguished the old-time Plymouth
houses. There are the small diamond
paned windows; there are the beams
running across the low ceiling and
throughout the house; there are the
old-fashioned latches on the doors, the
step-up or step-down between connect
ing rooms. the large square chimney.
and many other old-fashioned and
quaint characteristics.

the rooms. are things to make the
modern dweller full OF envy: the low
ceilings make even a short person
reach to see If It is possible to touch
them.
A tiny bedroom on the ground floor
is shown to visitors as the room In
which Priscilla died. and 1t is com
monty believed that John, too, died In
the present house. The Alden story
is that the house was built by iona

Even the prosaic washing Of dishes

Even the prosaic washing Of dishes
has been subject of scientific investi-

Michele, Swiss bacteriologists, have
tested the effect on germs present of
different methods of washing. such as
"a simply wiping glasses with ster-
ilized cloth, (2) rinsing with cold
water and wiping with no particular
care. and 90 thoroughly washing and
rinsing in fresh water and carefully
drying. They find that the partial
washing or wiping so common in ho-
tel. restaurant and family kitchens
leaves the germs practically un-
touched. Thoroughly washing. even in
cold or lukewarm water, with vigorous
wiping. may remove practically all
bacteria: and safety is the more alb

some extent this kind of drama, is
successful because there are people
who enjov it and who never atop to
