FRANKLIN’S GRAVE.
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.

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,

NEW YEAR’S CALLS.
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

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.

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
