An om Colonial Biocknouse. Among the attractions of the town of Bourne, Mass. , are two historic cellars. One was dug by the Plymouth colony and the other by the Dutch traders. These .cellars lie side by side, and the structures built over them were filled with oods so necessary for the comfort of the early pilgrims as well as the Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac- tured goods such as the Hollander had for sale and the Dutch required prod- ucts such as the colony could supply. Governor Bradford, in his diary, states that this block house was built as early as 1627, only seven years after the land— ing of the MayflOWer.——St. Louis Globe Democrat. ____ . But how about A Powerful’ Burning Glass. The most powerful sunglass ever con- structed in France was that made un— der the supervision ‘of the snvant M. de Villet‘te. This glass generated heat suflicient to melt a cupper coin of the size of our silver 25 cent piece in 7 }§ seconds. ' George .Parker of Fleet street, Lon- don, made a glass much more powerful than that which resulted from the Frenchman’s efforts. Parker’s was three feet in diameter and so powerful that it was actually used to melt substances which were too refractory for the fur- naces.

TEE BURDEN DIAMONDS. ._ Trying to Recover- Thcm by Negotiatin With the Robbers. - NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Isa.ac Townsend Burden is going ahead with his efforts to establish confidential relations with the thief or thieves who stole his wife’s $60,- 000 casket~ of diamonds. He stands by his published offer of $5,- 000 reward for the return of the jewels, “no questions asked, and immunity from punishment promised.” Just now Mr. Burden thinks he is in a fair way to recover the stolen diamonds— not through the police, but by ransom from the robbers. He recently received a letter signed “Lawyer,” in which an offer to return the stolen jewelry was made, with suggestions as to how the' exchange for the $5,000 re- ward might be made. , This led Mr. Burden to publish the fol- lowing “persona ” in the newspapers: “Lumen—Necessary that you give' proof before negotiating further that you control property by sending a piece of set- ting, which will be returned in way indi- cated.” _ . “I shall certainly keep faith with the thieves,” said Mr. Burden today. “They need have no fear of arrest at my hands, ’ and I am ready to do anything proper that they may suggest for their own protection, but, of course, I must have some assurance that I am dealing with aperson who is in a. position to control the stolen property. “I shall be very grateful to the thieves if they restore the property; too grateful to wish to punish them. There seems little prospect of the recovery of the articles by any other channel than that of negotiating with the thieves. “I shall not permit the police to see any communication sent to me in good faith by the thieves or their attorney, as that might lead to their discovery. Ihave made a fair offer to them, and shall keep faith. ’.’ TEE VENEZUELA MUDDLE. Statement That Great Britain Does Not, Contemplate Advancing. , LONDON, J an. 11.—-The movement in fa.- vor of arbitrating the Venezuelan question with the United States is growing day by day. The Westminster Gazette, after hav- 'ing interviewed statesmen of all parties, bankers and other persons having impor- tant interests at stake, says this after- noon, “Everywhere there were enthusias- tic expressions in favor of the proposal to establish a permanent court of arbitra- tion.” " From diplomats who have had recent interviews with the foreign office it is learned that there is a decided change of sentiment there, that the antagonism to arbitration has almost completely disap- peared, and that matters look much more satisfactory than they have at any time since the dispute began. It is semiofficinlly stated today that no such movement of British forces toward the boundary of or in the neighborhood of the disputed territory in Venezuela as in- dicated in the dispatches from Caracas via New York has been contemplated by Great Britain, and that no addition has been made to the small force " of .police which has been stationed for some time past in There is no reason to supppose that any . hostile action upon Venezuela’s part is intended. Guzman Blanca 9. Patriot. PARIS, Jan. 1] .-—-The Gaulcis publishes a. report in an interview with General Guz- man Blanco, formerly president of, the re- public of Venezuela, in which he says: “I have absolutely retired from politics. The allegation that I am concerned in an in— surrection in Venezuela is an absurd cal- umny circulated by persons who are my enemies. Moreover, in the struggle to maintain the integrity of our rights all parties in Venezuela are merged into one _ national party, which rightly supports President Crespo. ” A Graphic Temperance Lecture. LYNN, Mass, Jan. 11.——A Frenchwom- an named Mrs. La. Moire was burned to death and her daughter-in-luw, Annie La Moire, _ is lying at the point of death from the effects of terrible burns.

A. STOVE. xx A V‘etsfin of. the'Operntion That Enrol, . .Happensln Real Life. . This is about a man who put up a stove. ' - ' . It is- unnecessary perhaps to‘go far- therwith it. You know in advance just how he swore and tors and spoiled the carpet, and the pipe didn’t fit and he skinned his knuckles and cut his finger and spilled soot down the back of his six men tofinish the job. “Johnson,” said’ Johnson’s wife at dinner yesterday, “I want you to come home early this afternoon. 'I want that 'sitting room stove up and going by Sun- day. ” “All right, my dear,” said Johnson. “I’ll be home at4. ” So that afternoon Johnson’s wife sent the children over to visit on the other side¢of town and stuffed rugs in all the cracks to deaden sound. After a fervent prayer that all the neighbors would be out of town for a few hours that after- noon she was ready for Johnson. He arrived promptly. “The stove is out in the wood shed,” said his wife. , The stove was Not very large, and after Johnson had dressed himself for the occasion, with the help of Mrs. John- son, who had taken care to have his old clothes and gloves handy, he got the stove to the back porch without much difiiculty. ‘ “It must be blackened, ” said Mrs. Johnson as she mixed the blacking. It blackened to a beautiful finish with very little rubbing, and Johnson whistled at his work. Then he tacked down the, oilcloth mat and the zinc and kept on whistling. He took the stove in carefullyand put it in the right place. There was plenty of the old stovepipe, and while be cleaned it in the alley with a stick Mrs. Johnson sat on the back porch and listened'to him whistle. The first joint went on all right, and the damper staid in place. The next joint fitted so well that Johnson almost stopped whistling in sheer admiration for it, and so did the next one. The el- bow fitted admirably, and the collar and last joint went on like u top. The seam was on the right side all the way up. There was not even a speck of soot on the papers Mrs. Johnson had spread on the carpét. lovely fire in the stove and was in his business suit again spick and span ”read- ing the paper while his wife got supper. It was just here that there was a sav- age nudge in Johnson’s left ribs and he heard his wife tell him to wake up, and bustle out now, for it had been daylight for half an hour. —Topeka State Journal. BUILT THE WRONG WAY. Why the Quaker’s Chester Hogs Took No Prizes In Georgia. “I never shall forget an incident which occurred at the first fair I ever attended in Georgia,” said a retired Cindinnati meat‘ packer. “It was at Macon. and‘I think they called it a state fair. At any rate it was a big thing for the town in those days. They had some fine stock on exhibiion, and a Pennsyl- vanian had sent down about 20 of the finest looking hogs you ever saw. They were mostly Chester Whites, and if I recollect aright they were exhibited by Thomas Wood, a great hog and cattle fancier of 20 and 30 year}; ago. He it was who introduced that famous breed made a great deal of money out of his fancy stock. He was a Friend—a Qua- .ker, you know—who used the plain lan- guage and wore a broad brimmed hat. He was. a smart old gentleman, honest and prosperous. He sent his hogs from state fair to state fair, and they took so many prizes and blue ribbons that each .hog looked like a boy who had spent all his money making a collection of badges. ' “When the Macon judges made their awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib- erally to the razor backs, but not one of the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got a prize. The owner of the exhibit did not understand it, so he hunted up one of the judges and said-in the language of the Friends: . “ ‘I know thee to be an honest man, and I do not question thy fairness in the award, but .to gratify my own curiosity I would be glad to have thee tell me why thee gave all the prizes to the na- tive stock and what fault thee found in mine?’ ' “ ‘My friend, the committee admired your hogs greatly,’ the judge replied. ‘They are certainly handsome, and I have no doubt that in your section they are the best breed to raise, but they are not suited for this country. They are so short legged and fat that a nigger could catch them in two minutes. What we require in d hog' in the south is legs and wind. We give our prizes for speed. ’ ” -—Atlunt'a Constitution.
