Mr.. William Miller the Lynn flor
list, has several new curios about his
log cabin, the Bonnie View this sea
son. Probably the most interesting
OF these Is curious wood-carving OF
Hindoo workmanship, the only thing
remaining of the bark Tedesco
wrecked during a storm on Jan. II
1887, on Long Roads, Swampscott
Mass. II now adorns the front oil
this woodshed ''Tamuctawegan."
Eighteen years ago Mr.. Miller was
exploring piece of woods near Sau
gus. In one corner of the wood
partly covered up by leaves and veg
citation, he found the carving. He
bought it from the farmer upon whose
land it was found for IS. 1t is said
that this finding may be of great val
ne in time to come. The tradition is
that Spanish merchants placed the
carving on the stern of the Tedesco In
honor of the bark's owner. It is
supposed to have come from India
and was brought to Spain by one OF
the ships trading between England
and the Indies. 1t is presumed that
1t was taken from a Hindoo temple
All that there is to support this the
ory Is the fact that bas-relief of the
sun, a token of Vishmus, formed the
principal part of the panel.
Some other curios are two workings
OF cement. One Is a round tagle of
this material. Stones of all colors
taken from Chebeague Island. are I'M
bedded in 1t. This table is very ser.
viceable to eat an outdoor luncheon
OH, because of its great strength and
convenience. The other curio is 81
cement walk, likewise imbedded with
stones which form the old latin adj.
age "Multum in parvo" (much In III.
tle). The workings OF cement were
made by Mr.. Miller himself and the
process of making the stones stick in
| the cement was hard task.
