It ease ns (• i veil For Allowing It to Knnain In Itn rrmeat Condition. Benjamin Franklin's grave is in a neglected (•(imlitinii. No appropriate stone rises over it, tho ground round about it is uucarcd for, and the tomb of tho great scholar and statesman is as obscure as that of a man whoso name and fame were no part of the glory of his country. llis grave is destitute even of a head stone. It is covered by an old fashioned marble slab which was placed there 100 years ago and is now worn and discol ored by ago. Nothing has been done to it since Franklin was buried there, and even the modest arrangements of the grave are not kept in the perfect condition that is expected of a great man’s tomb. The earth on all sides is bare of grass, the common thatching of the common est grave, and an air of desolation is about tho whole place. Tho sexton said that tho descendants : of Franklin would not. do anything to repair the grave; neither would they al low anybody else to do anything. Ev ery day lie has received offers of sub seriptioiis from visitors, who are dis tressed by the forlorn appearance of Franklin’s resting place and who would like to see it improved. In reply he says, as lie has been instructed, that Franklin wished it so, “being a plain man averse to display of any kind.” Not long ago, at his own expense, he bad the fading inscription reeut, or else even tho only distinguishing mark, the name, would bo gone. If be bad not done so, the last rest ing place of the greatest man, outside of Washington, in American history would have been forgotten and un known Who is responsible for this con dition of affairs? Not tho living rela tives of Franklin. Tho responsibility rests with tho American people, to whom the man belongs. They should see to it in the future that what little is there to mark the grave is kept in bet ter order than it has been in the past. Before he died Franklin provided for bis own gravestone and instructed a stonecutter of his acquaintance in every detail, even to the inscription which was to be placed upon it.. Ho desired to be buried beside his wife, who had died some years before, and a common slab was to be placed over them both. The inscription arranged as ho ordered it reads: Everything was done as ho desired, and the work was paid for out of his estate and stands today the same as when ho died. — Philadelphia Times. Wabbled Wlti'ii lie ('mm' to 1’ohmuiii. old Fnclo (.'laybrook is a very reli gious old darky and bolds converse with his Maker twenty times a day or oftenor. His habit is to pray and then turn off’ into what appears to be a olio sided conversation with the Lord, but it is evident that there is another party to it as far as he is concerned. To hear him reminds one very much of a tele* ; phone conversation. The other day he was going through his customary devotions, and when he got to tho point of expressing thankful ness for the many blessings of life he broke off into a recounting of them, says Cicero T. Sutton of the Owens boro Inquirer. "An den, liar’s possum, 1-iord—bow’d you ever think of niukiii possum? Possum jos’ beats all. You jos’ couldn't boat it of you tried ag’iu. Possum, he, he!

A Good OI«l ( i: tom That Should Not IJo Allowed to llle. Tlio formal custom of receiving New Year’s calls lias nearly died out in our large cities, it having been superseded by the regular afternoon and informal evening receptions, to which gentlemen take more kindly than to the old fash ioned New Year’s party. The good old Knickerbocker habit has not, however, died out altogether. It has only been broken up into different forms, tin; result of the complex conditions of modern life. Some families still maintain the cus tom in its entirety. Some give formal dinners, not the “family” dinner, which is usually the part of the Christmas festival, and in the country carriage loads not infrequently go round from house to house making merry calls, picking up additions to the party and finally ending with supiwr at some hos pitable house and in an evening with games, refresh* d by apples, roast chest nuts, homemade plum cake and sweet cider. It is now said that this custom of making New Vear’s calls in the city ls longs to a time when making calls had not liecome a daily business pur sued for want of other occupation by men and women of leisure. It is true that it belongs to a time when men Were too busy to do much visiting and gladly seized this annual opportunity of looking up old friends, and especially the busy wives and mothers they had known as girls, and recalling and re counting the scenes and events of their youth. This annual brightening of the links of old friendship is the special function of New Year’s calls. The day is put to very had use when it is employed in a mere effort to count up a long list of names of people whom one may have seen yesterday, or the day before, or who have no steady purpose to prevent them from calling every day of their lives. Of course one does not want to miss one’s intimates on such a day, but there is not the same object in setting apart a day for them, and this is the reason why so many people who have “trav eled” relinquish the custom when they return home to u life based, so far as possible, on what they have heard and .'-ceil abroad. Hut there are many wfhorepresent the oldest and lu st families who cling to old habits, who do not spend half their lives abroad, hut who are tin* strength and honor of the best enterprises and efforts at h* me. Then there are others, busy professional and business men and women, who form the largest part of our “best” society, who, perhaps, do the most to formulate its habits and perpetuate its customs, and to those the 1st of January as a day of freedom and devotion to the social idea is a boon which they welcome apart from its sig- I nilieunco and the desire to perpetuate it as a custom.—Philadelphia Press. THE MOQUI'S NEW YEAR. A Mythical Drama Acted to 1’lucats I lie Kiu-iny of the Sun. Till' Moqui Now Year’s celebration, called Sn yal-u iiii, is largely a prosen tat ion of a singular and elaborate mythic drama, divided into two parts, in which offerings are made to effigies of the great plume headed serpent, the enemy of the sun, followed by a sun dance, in which the conflict between the sun and the inferior hostile gods is admirably portrayed by Moqui men personifying the various deities. This celebration is primarily per formed by warriors and commemorates the return of the sun from the winter solstice. Iu other words, the Moqui woe fully fear, when they see the sun going further and farther to the southward each day, that lie is going to desert them ami leave them alone upon their cold, weary, sand blown mesas. One wonders little that iu this dread situa tion they have initiated profound and mystic rites with a view to propitiating the evil one who would harm their dearly beloved eternal fire. Day by day the old men and seers of the tribe watch each morning the point at which the sun rises from the eastern horizon of the pinnuclcd and ragged mountain range. They have found a particular notch between two peaks, past which the sun does not travel in its southern march, but instead it stops and returns over its long and dreary trail to bring ultimately the spring, the butterflies, and, most precious of all, the corn—their staff of life. As the sun nears its lowest notch preparations for the rite which concili ates the sun's worst enemy—the snake demon—an* well under way. Tumor row, in a weird subterranean eaveru called an estufa, or kiva, it is declared that the baneful serpent shall be amply placated. So rich will be the tribute that for one entire year the sun shall bo free from bis persecutions, and the clouds, too, which the snake wickedly swallows, shall gather and Jheir mois ture freely descend upon the parched and blighted land until it is once more clothed in verdure.—New York Herald.

JAMES VICK’S SONS, ROCHESTER, N. Y. VICK'S ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE CHRIST CHILD LEGENDS. Bracts and Birds Hare a Prominent Place In Christmas Lore, The story of the hunting of the wren In the isle of Man every Christmas is well known. She is known as Our La dy’s hen, God's chicken, Christ’s bird, because she was present at Christ’s birth, brought moss and feathers to cover the Holy Babe and made a nest in his cradle. In France the cuckoo was believed to have flown from a Christmas log. A Latin poem of the middle ages tells that the crossbill hatches her eggs at Christmas and her young birds fly off in their full plumage at Easter. The Mohammedans have many leg ends of Isa, or Jesus. One tells that when ho was 7 years old he and his companions mado birds and boasts of clay, and Isa proved his superiority by making his fly and walk as he com manded. In the Tyrol they say the ravens used to have snow white plumage, but one day Jesus wanted to drink at a stream, and they splashed and so befouled the water that ho could not, so he said, "Ungrateful birds, you are proud of your snow white feathers, but they shall become black and remain so until the judgment day. ” A Russian legend tells that the horse flesh is considered unclean becauso when Christ lay in his manger the horse ate the hay from under his bed, but tho ox would not and brought back on his horns to replace what the horse ate. Tho Britons believe that tho ox and tho ass talk together between 11 and 12 o’clock every Christmas eve. In Germany the cattle kneel in their stalls at that hour. Another version says they stand up. The ass and tho cow are sacred bo oauso they breathed upon tho Holy Babo in his stnll. The ass is the most sure footed of ani mals because he carried tho holy fami ly to Egypt by night. Ho lias had a cross on his back ever since. Old women used to sprinkle holy wa ter on tho ass uud tho cow to drive away disease. Bees are said to buzz in their hives at tho exact hour of our Saviour’s birth. In north Germany tho version of tho man in tho moon is thus told: One Christmas eve a peasant greatly desired cabbage, but as ho had none in his own garden ho stole from his noiglilior. Just as lie tilled his basket the Christ Child rmlo by on his white horse anil said, “Because thou has stolen on Christmas eve thou shalt sit in the moon with thy cabbage basket.’’ And there ho still sits.—Philadelphia Ledg or.
