THE GRATE OF MILES STANDISH.

Seeking for the Last Resting-Place of the Great Puritan Soldier. In later years efforts hare been made to establish the place of bnrial of the old pilgrim warrior, and as far as authenticity goes the results have been diverse and discouraging, the various spots claimed to be his last restingplace being scattered over at least a square mUe, says a Duxbury correspondent of the Boston Herald, writing of Miles Standish. Probably the most direct tradition concerning the subject is the following, derived from Miss Caroline B. Hall, a descendant of Captain Standish in the seventh generation, whose brother, James Hall, collected much of the historical knowledge we now possess relative to his ancestor: About sixteen years ago Benjamin Prior, a once wealthy shipbuilder of Duxbury, died in the alms-house. Some years before his death he informed Mr.c Butk Hall, daughter of Olive Standish and mother of the present Miss Hall, that Captain Standish was interred in the old cemetery at South Duxbury, nearly opposite the Prior homestead. Mrs. Hall noted the fact at the time, and since her decease, some years since, the memorandum has been found. Mr. Prior said that his father had told him of the burial, he having learned it in turn from his father, who said that he attended the funeral, and further said the grave was marked by two three-cornered stones, one at the head and one at the foot. The Priors were all long-lived, Benjamin dying at the age of 95 years, and being noted for his remarkable memory of events The intervening 231 years since the death of Standish, Oct. 3, 1656, can be bridged by three people having an average age of 77 years. Prior’s house stood nearly opposite the cemetery, and such an event as the burial of Standish would be remembered by the family. The cemetery is a short distance west of Hall’s Corner, South Duxbury, less than three-fourths of a mile from the residence of the old soldier. A rough post and rail fence incloses it on three sides, while the fourth, next to the street, is bounded by a pretty rustic fence of cedar. Its area is less than an acre, and the surface is overgrown with rank, uncared-for gaass, interlaced with tangled blackberry vines. There are no boundaries to lots, interments having been made in little groups, various clusters of slate •stones bearing the names of Winslow, Alden, Cushman and Brewster, descendants of the Mayflower band. A noticeable feature is the lack of epitaphs on the stones, some of which date back to the end of the sixteenth century. In Standish’s will, dated “Duxburrow, March the 7th, 1635,” -and presented for probate by Captain James Cudworih, May 4, 1657, the testator states: “My will is that out of my whole estate my funeral charges be taken out and my body be buried in decent manner, and if i die at Duxburrow my body to be laid as near as convently may bee to my two dear daughters Dora Standish my daughter and Mary Standish my daughter-in-law.” In the center of the cemetery is a grave marked by three-sided, pyra-midal-shaped stones at the head and foot, while two other depressions close at hand indicate other ancient graves. How old this grave may be is not known, but it seems to bear out the tradition remarkably.

Strange Kinds of Food.

Cuttle-fishes, in one form or another, are eaten the world round. In Naples you can buy their flesh any day in the markets, and it is prepared with vinegar and spices. The Indians of British America think themselves in luck when they capture a big octopus. They spear him with a wooden lance and drag him dextrously from among the rocks, taking great precautions lest he should upset the canoe before he is "done for.” If it is not convenient to cook him they do not hesitate to cut pieces from the slimy mass and devour them raw. They like better, however, to boil the-“man-sucker,” and their only method of cooking in the old days was to put it into a clay-chinked basket, partly filled with heated stones, which soon brought the water to a boiling point. The celestials make the most extensive use of the cuttle-fish, having both octopods and squids in great abundance. You can see in ail Chinese markets piles of sun-dried squids split open, flattened out, and looking like a small white codfish, with long, stiffened fringes at the broad end, representing all that remains of the circle of arms about the head. Dried squids will keep in good condition for many years; and when they are boiled, mixed with herbs, and pleasantly seasoned they make a capital soup or pudding, the taste of which will mildly suggest a lobster broth. The miserable Indians of Utah and the Colorado desfr% and the Bushmen of Africa, who live in a hot, dry, open region, gather grasshoppers, crickets, and some sorts of beetles, and make a meal of their dried bodies, which they crush and mix into a sort of paste with berries or seeds, or else they devour the insects raw. As for locusts, they are called the “national dish” of the Zambesi region in South Africa; and are on the bill of fdre of such half-civilized people as the Arabians, Persians and Egyptians, while their young were considered a dainty by the Bomans. Thl axlot forms the principal food of the Mexican peasantry on the plateaus during early summer. It is a larger sort of those water-lizards (which are not real lizards) known in the middle parts of the United States as mud-pup-pies and hellbenders. The Spanish conquerors of Mexioo adopted this

disgusting-looking reptile as food from the Aztecs, but in place of the plain cooking followed by the Indians they preferred to soak it in vinegar and season it with pepper and cloves. The Chinese ai d Burmese are said to eat lizards, but here they are by no means alone, for dwellers in dry, pov-erty-stricken regions in all parts of the globe resort to iha: food, and even to serpents. The Apaches, Pah-Utes, and other red-skin natives of the arid tablelands of Southern Utah, Arizona, and California regard their forked sticks and gaffs for catching lizards as being the most needful of human tools. Earth is swallowed by many depraved savages. Sometimes it is a greasy clay, tilled with vegetable particles ; often it is a gritty soil, containing no nutriment whatever. It is not always wild men who have acquired the habit, nor does it always ruin the health. On the Columbia Biver fern flour was formerly much used, while the Canadians are very fond of the wild rice which grows so abundantly along the great lakes, and of the seeds of the lotus and water lily which sprout among its reedy stems. The natives of Central America cuok their great tree lizaid, the iguana, sometimes making a pit in the ground and covering it with a fire.

A Multitude of Ailments.

The ailments which afflict the kidneys and bladder are so numerou < that merely to name them would fill a space far outrunning the limits of this article. Suffice it to say that they are both obstinate and dangerous. To their prevention Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is well adapted. The stimulus which it lends to the action of the kidneys when they are lethargic, serves to counteract a tendency in them to lapse, first, into a state of pernicious inactivity, and afterwards into one of positive organic disease, which soon destroys their delicate integuments, poisons the blood, and causes death. A double purpose is served by* this depurent It promotes activity of the kidneys, and expels impurities from the blood which have no natural channel of outlet except those organs. Constipation, biliousness, fever and ague, rheumatism, and dyspepsia are also remedied by this medicine of thorough action and wide scope.

Uncle Seth on Literary Men.

“Littery fellers. Wall, I dunno,” says Uncle Beth. “Made outen rose water, ain’t they ? Don’t have to have no muscle nor nothin’; jist pure sentiment ; nothin’ substantial about ’em, is there ? Whdn a feller tries to talk to ’em they kinder slide off into space an’ go dissolvin’ into the clouds an’ rainbows, an’ talk about weepin’ willers, an’ graveyards, an’ love, an’ sich like. Cur us, ’bout these littery fellers. A chap who nat’rally think that a man that is goin’ to paint the hearts er men an’ wimmin, an’ hold the lookin’-glass up to uatur, as Shakspeare, who writ so much, says, would want to be jest like other folks, only more so, an’ have a little’human sympathy about him an’ not live way up in the atmosphere like a feller in a balloon. “I’ll tell you what I th'nk of the littery fellers. They’re too intimate with themselves. They think the more they get acquainted with themselves the greater social success they’ll be. They cultivate themselves so much they don’t know nobody else. Guess they think nobod v else ain’t good ’nough for ’em, don’t they? Now, when a feller thinks when he stamps his foot the earth is goin’ to shake an’ the stars all tumble ott' the skv like the button off a ready-made weskit, he ain’t goin’ to talk with us common folks. They’re stuck up. P’rhaps they have a right to be; p’rhaps they hain’t. I dunno’s I know.” —Detroit Free Press.

Life in the Paris Sewers

Is possible for a Bhort time to the robust, but the majority of refined persons would prefer immediate death to existence in their reeking atmosphere. How much more revolting to be m one’s self a living sewer. But this is actually the case with those in whom ihe inactivity of the liver drives the refuse matter of the body to escape through the lungs, breath, the pores, kidneys, and biudder. It is astonishing that life remains in such a dwelling. Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” restores normal purity to the system, and renews the whole being. Queen Elizabeth style is expected to come in again about 1888. This is indeed ruff. “Heu face so fair, as flesh it seemed not, But heavenly portrait of bright angel s hue, Cloar as the without a blame or blot, Through goodly mixture of complexions due. And iu her cheeks the vermeil red did show.” 'lliis is the poet’s description of a woman whose physical system was in a perfectly sound ana healthy state, with every function acting properly, and is the enviable condition of its fa r pa rotn produced by Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescript on.” Any druggist

In a certain mill a large belt was inclosed in a deep trough or spout, which was open on top, and protected the passer from danger, yet a narrow foot walk ran over the spout, into which a man once fell as he slipped from the narrow walk. This belt led from the bottom of a pulley, and passed upward at an angle of forty-five degrees. The trough was over two feet deep, and there the unfortunate man lay, his head against the revolving pulley, the belt tending to carry him up, while gravity kept him down. How long this man suffered in this position is unknown, but it was for several hours, and when found, the flesh had been scraped from his bones in many places, and death had released him from his sufferings.
