W1! ANCIENT LOG CABIN. . STANDS ON LAND THAT ONCE es- LONGED To WILLIAM PENN. , With Additions It Is One of the Old Manor Houses and “'as the Birthplace of Prom- inen't Families—~Finding an English Coin «Sr 170 Years Ago. . In the northwestern part'of the pretty little town of Media, the County seat of Delaware county, Pa., on a tract of land known as “Star Mount,” owned by Samuel W. Powell, is located a genuine curiosity in the form 'of an old log house, which contains much to interest the antiquarian, and to afford material for the historian. The structure meas- ures 22 feet in length and is 20 feet wide and 15 feet high. one of the original manor houses con- structed shortly after the arrival of Wil- liam Penn and his colony on the banks of the Delaware river. Circumstances point toward that belief, and prove the claim to antiquity, which makes the old log house an important link connect- ing the distant past with the present. This house is constructed of oak and chestnut logs hewn from the primeval forest, while standing beside it is a giant oak, the largest by all odds in the surrounding country, which is a living witness of the age of thenlowly- dwell- ing which finds shelter beneath its huge outspreading arms. Tree and house are each the complement of the other, and seem destined to continue their intima- cy during succeeding years, and perhaps ages. In the year 1681 A. D., on the 2d day of March, Peter and William Tay- lor purchased the land upon which these objects of interest stand from William Penn in England, and on the 22d inst. Thomas Powell took title to the land upon which the house rand” tree . stand and'adjacent tracts,”a'nd after'numerous transfers ”it finally came into the pos- session of Mr. Powell, who formerly resided in this city, but who now lives in “Star Mount,” in northwest Media. Upon discovering the historic value ‘of the house and oak, he subsequently took precautions to preserve the objects of a past age and civilization. The house is constructed of logs, and to prevent the entrance of coldiair they Were chinked with mortar. The small windows and doors were hand made, from the primitive oak cut from the forest. The faces and ends of these logs ‘ are scarred and defaced. by exposure to the storms of at least two centuries, and show plainly the ravages of the “tooth of time,” but at heart are as hard and sound as when first placed in position to form a house for one of Penn’s followers. The present owner, desiring to both preserve this ancient structure and to improve its surroundings, added some seven or eight years ago several addi- tional rooms to the original mansion, but outside the massive old chimney is exposed to view, and inside the logs with their plastering, the windows and doors with their wooden latches and strings may be seen, while the low ceil- ing of homemade boards point to a date ' when the ax and saw were almost uni- versally used by our forefathers. At the time when the additions above mentioned were made an old English coin was found. Upon examination the coin proved to be a penny of the reign of King George I, and while the date is almost illegible, it seems to be 1724, or perhaps an earlier date. This old Eng- lish penny was lying under the old wooden door sill, and had become im- bedded in the ground, and was only brought to light by the use of pick and shove]. History and tradition unite in the story in relation to this old house. Beginning with the river Delaware and reaching as far as portions of Ches- ter county, and bounded also by Ridley and Crum creeks, were some two tracts of land deeded to the Taylors, Powells and others in 1681 by the proprietor and founder of our state, William Penn. Upon each of these two tracts or parcels of land log houses were erected, and one of them was destroyed by fire. One of these houses, the one now owned by Mr. Powell in Upper Providence township, adjoining the town of Media, is the sole survivor, and it is correspondingly prized by him. The house and old oak, together with the curiosities connected with them, are very antique, and there is no doubt but that the claim of antiquity is well founded. In 1715 it was in the old log cabin that John Powell changed from the Quaker to the Baptist faith, and or- ganized the First Baptist church of Del- aware county, known as the Brandy- wine church. The congregation was formed on June 14, 1715, with 15 mem- bers, and among the delegates were Abel Morgan of this city and James Jones and Joseph Eaton of Delaware. Thus the old house, constructed by a first settler from the virgin forest, which extended from far inland to the shores of the Delaware river, has both a civil - and a religious history, and has been both the birthplace of prominent fami- lies and the habitation within whose walls a prominent denomination of this and surrounding country first sprung in- to existence. —Philadelpbia Telegraph. Hereditary Names. According to the invariable custom of the Duke of Richmond’s family, it is prescribed that the eldest son and the eldest son of the eldest son shall be named after King Charles II, to whom they owe so much. The same principle is preserved in Lord Salisbury’s. family, where the eldest sons are named James, after James I, who bestowed the earl- dom of Salisbury md viscounty of Cran- borne on the original founder of the house.

It is said to be ' \ SPU RS TO ACTION. The Very Simple Thing That Brought Mr. Griddletop Back to me. “Some men need one spur, some an- other,” said Mr. Gratebar. . . “Now, there was my friend Sylvanus Griddletop. Mr. Griddletop was a man with a fair income, which, when the financial cyclone came. along, was vary greatly reduced. Mr. Griddletop prompt- ly shortened sail to accommodate him- self to the altered weather; he econo- mized in all directions, and he was sur- prised to find how much he could econo- mize; and while the new order of things wasn’t like the old, it was gratifying ‘to Mr. Griddletop to discover that it still afforded some measure of comfort. “At last the financial cyclone passed, but Mr. Griddletop, who had accepted the changed situation manfully, now discovered that in the course of that enforced period of comparative idleness his manfulness had given way to slug- gishness; he had found it quite possi- ble to live upon his reduced means, and now, instead of making anefi‘ort, he did as men sometimes do in ' like circum- stances—he settled down into a placid, dull contentment with what he had. “One of the economies that Mr. Grid- dletop began to practice immediately upon thecurtailment of his income had been that of blacking his own shoes. There had seemed no easier way of sav- ing $18 'a year» than this, and he had found the work easy enough, without realizing at the time that this, like many another economy, like giving up going to the theater, for instance, meant the cutting oil? of so much communica- tion with the world, and so tended to the gradual narrowing of his existence. “One day, when he had occasion to see a man on a matter of business, find- ing his shoes in a not very presentable condition, ,Mr. Griddletop stepped up on a bootblack’s stand and took his seat in the comfortable chair, as he had not done in a year before, and put his feet upon the metal footrests. , It Was like stepping back into the world from which he had been so long apart; it awakened in him a desire for all the old time ac: tivities and pleasures of life. He stepped down from the bootblack’s stand with a new ambition. It was for him just the needed spur to action. ”—New York Sun. b STARTLED THE OLD. LADY. An Inquisitive Youth Tumbled Over 3 Par- tition Upon a Spinster’s Bed. “When Mount Tabor, N. J., was first taken possession ’of by the Newark con— ference of the Methodist Episcopal church,” said a clergyman of that de- nomination recently, “we had little money with which to clear up the grounds and erect the first buildings necessary. , After putting up a sort of open air pavilion in which the preach-J ing services could be held, we began to cast around for some buildings where transient guests might be accommodat- ed. “The structure resulting from this necessity was a long frame building, which was christened the ‘ Tabor House. ’ In constructing the house on as econom- ic'al a basis as possible the partitions were not run all the way up to the raft- ers and' the room was not ceiled. “I shall never forget, ” continued the minister, “one of my first nights in this rather crude hotel. After I had retired I was suddenly aroused with a start by the most unearthly shriek. “ ‘Murder! Thieves! Robbers! Help! Help !’ a woman was shouting at the top of her lungs. “I hustled out into the narrow hall in my nightrobe and found others in the same attire—both men and women —running around in a distracted way. We all stopped before a door from with- in which the sounds proceeded. “ ‘You beast! Help! Help! Murder!’ E . still came the cries. ‘ “There was a sound of scufliing from within, and suddenly the .door opened and a woman, excited, panting, with wild and disheveled locks, appeared at the door clutching a boy, who was more frightened even than was the woman. “One glance settled it. The boy was the son of a woman occupying the ad- joining room. The little fellow, out of curiosity, had climbed to the top of the partition, and, losing his balance, had fallen over into the next room, landing on the bed of a rather elderly spinster. “The ridiculousness of the whole af- fair seemed to dawn upon all at the same time, and every one joined in a good, hearty laugh. The boy was pun- ished, and the old maid left the, next day. ”—New York Herald. A Typical English Inn. The inn was set close to the river, and although the highroad ran a mile farther inland the .Angel inn had the air of having seen more stirring times. The little inn sitting room was parlor and taproom in one; its chairs opened friendly arms, bits of old silver gleamed on the mantelshelf, and low settles, cup- boards and tables of antique make were suggestive of the dead and gone figures that had peopled the cozy room. In the smile of the genial host there was the welcome which imagination lends to mine host of the coaching period—“A Cruise on the Norfolk Broads” in Cen- tury. A Dangerous Remedy.

To make no account of the money value of the advertisement, they are delighted 'to know that they are being talked about and speculated about, and to see their names in the newspapers. You see how high that dome is?” he contin- ued, pointing to the arched space far above the ropes 5nd bars stretched across for acrobatic performances. “Well, a man came in here, offered to jump from its highest point down to the floor so as to make a name for him- self. It would have been certain death," you know, to attempt it, but he said he had practiced jumping, knew how to manage and would escape injury. He begged to be allowed to make the jump and was much cast down at our refusal. “That man only expected to jump once. After having performed the feat he felt that he would be a curiosity worth money to see. “Anyway, we business people see that the public crave amusement of this kind, and we are delighted to gratify them. . “At the time of the ‘White Cap’ agi- tation, when there was so much talk in the papers about their outrages, 'a man oifered to exhibit himself as a tarred and feathered victim just returned from the west, and we let him do it. More- over, the public encouraged him to do it, for they came in Seeks to see him. The tattooed woman who was paid $100 a day was tattooed right here in New York, but the work was marvelously well done, and the fairy tale about her, as told by the showman, only height-_ sued the crowd’s interest and harmed nobody. She was represented in the story as having been stranded on one of the Sandwich islands, shipwrecked, with her husband, who was put to death. Her life was spared, but she was put to torture, having these extraordinary char- acters tattooed all over her body. There were from 500 to 700 people at each one of the 21 daily performances at which that tattooed woman was exhib- ited, and all were pleased at the show, for which they paid' 10 cents. ” “Do many of these freaks, remark- able for various reasons, get fine sala- riesl” “Indeed they do. We paid a certain midget $700 a week. Her father and the family traveled with her, and get rich out of it. Then that wonderful Oregon horse with the trailing mane and tail was paid $900 a week for sev- eral months. The two headed negro girl, or girls, has made a fortune, and I could mention any number of cele- brated freaks who have profited finan- cially. _ “Each day we get letters from all over the country—all over the world— ofl’ering us freaks of nature. This one sends a photograph of a sheep having a fifth leg and hoof growing out of his shoulder. This one sends a cow with a horn projecting from her back. Here is a letter from a handless man in West Virginia. He writes with his toes and writes a very good letter. ” . That box of photographs unearthed from little used recesses to refresh the showman’s mind! What a galaxy, not of beauty, but of the bizarre and the grotesque! Bearded women taken in decollete gowns, their masculine faces in revolting contrast to the feminine neck and arms; men without legs or arms; tremendously fat men, and men so thin that they were photographed prone upon a couch, limp and helpless; men who had starved themselves in or- der to live. The strong woman is there, and her remarkable Sister, witha veri- table horse’s mane growing upon her back. “That was a clever scheme this fel- low devised,” said the showman, ad- justing his glasses so as to view a like- ness. “He represented himself as hav- ing a gunshot wound through and through the body, and then he fixed up an optical delusion apparatus which made it appear that people could look straight through him. We displayed-a colored photograph at the back, and the people could see that picture on the other side of the man. You have no idea what a furore there was about it. That was down on the Bowery. Every- body wanted to look through the man with the gunshot wound. Then, finding that the man was such a howling suc- cess awoman fixed herself up as having been speared through the body with her husband’s bayonet, the victim of cruel- ty and brutality. We fixed it for the crowd to look through her, and she was no end of a success. She stood there surrounded by red curtains with a pa- thetic, rapt look on her face, and the people couldn’t get enough of looking through her at the bouquet of flowers displayed at her back. “People will delight in signs and Wonders as long as the world endures,” 1 added the showman, “and just so long will scientists and magicians cater to their desires.

Re Did ,hrm Work In Indiana For 38 ' Cents .- Day. By this time Abraham had become an important member of the family. He was remarkably strong for his years, and the work he could do in a day was a decided advantage to Thomas Lincoln. The ax which had been put into his hand to help in making the first clear- ing had, never been allowed to drop; indeed, as he says himself, “from that till within his twenty-third year he was almost constantly handling that most useful instrument.” Besides, he drove the team, out down the elm and linden brush with which the stock was often fed, learned to handle the old shovel plow, to ' wield the sickle, to thrash the wheat with a flail, to fan and clean it with a sheet, to go to mill and turn the hard earned grist into flour; in. short, he learned all the trades the settler’s boy must know, and well enough so that when his father did not need him he could hire him to the neighbors. Thomas Lincoln also taught him the rudiments of carpentry and cabinet making, and kept him busy some of the time as his assistant in his trade. There are houses still standing in and near Gentryville on which it is said he worked. The families of Lamar, Jones, Crawford, Gentry, Turnham and Richardson all claim the honor of hav- ing employed him upon their cabins, [As he grew older he became one of the strongest and most popular “hands” in the vicinity; and much of his time was spent as a “hired boy” on some neigh- bor‘s farm. For 25 cents a day—paid to his father—ho was hostler, plowman, woodchopper and carpenter, besides helping the women with the “chores.” For them, so say the legends, he was ready to’ carry water, make the fire, even tend the baby. N o wonder that a laborer who never refused to .do any- thing asked of him, who could “strike with a mallet heavier blows” and “sink an ax deeper into the wood” than any- body else in the community, and who at the same time was general help for the women, never lacked a job in Gen- tryville.—Ida M. Tarbell in McClure’s Magazine. The Milky sea. In 1616 the expedition to the East In- dies ,under Martin Pring, when in the tropical Pacific, had one night what was to the members of that expedition a very mystifying spectacle. They beheld the sea all about them pale and white, re- sembling a vast cheese vat, so that one might have imagined “the Ship to have been sailing in Whey instead of Salt Water, it carried such a milky appear- ance along with it. The Air and Skie at the same time look‘d White and hazy, without doubt the effect of the reflections from the Surface of the Water so dis- pos’d and celour’d. ” In February, 1881, Mr. Daniel Pidge- on, a ycry acute observer, witnessed the phenomenon of this “milky sea” of the l..-..“.c, when, he says, “the whole ocean from the ship to the visible hori- zon looked exactly as if it were covered with snow. “The snowy surface evidently reflect- ed the light of the sky, for Venus, being very bright, threw a distinguishable line of radiance across it, while the phos- phorescent crests of waves were now and then seen breaking above the layer of ' shining matter which overlaid the wa- ter. ” He convinced himself that the ap- pearance was due to a thin layer of mist, produced when the sea surface happens to be considerably cooler than the moist atmosphere above it, so that the air in immediate contact with the water is chilled below the dew point and becomes misty, while the air above re- mains transparent. It would be interesting to know whether the some explanation will ap- ply to all displays of the “milky sea,” or whether the effect should sometimes be attributed solely to phosphorescent animals and plants, and if not whether in any-case those sources of light con- tribute to illuminate the sea. from be- low.—Blackwood’s Magazine. Working by the Eye. The advance in the accuracy of wor '- manship in machinery is one of the re- markable features of manufactures. Formerly if a shaft could be made right within one thirty-second of an inch all was well. Indeed, under old processes this was as fine a degree of correctness as the eye could perceive. But this was altogether too far from perfect to an- swer many purposes, and mechanics set about devising some means to insure more absolute accuracy. One of the first suggestions that the eye was less relia- ble than ‘ the fingers came from the fit-. ting of certain cylinders with plugs. It was found that a number of plugs could be made all precisely alike so far as the eye could judge, but the veriest novice detected a difference in their size the moment they were applied to the hole for which they were intended, It is said that now the difference of one five- thousandth of an inch can readily be perceived by the most inexperienced per» son—New York Ledger. Just In Time. . The president of an accident insurance company, strictly in the line of advertis- ing his business, has been telling awon- derful story, which he locates in Brook- lyn, where numerous trolley accidents occur. He says: “Some time ago a ' large policy holder in my company Was run over by a trolley car and his right leg painfully crushed. He remained conscious after the shock for three min- utes, during which time he pulled out his watch and called the attention of the crowd to the fact that itwas just 15 minutes to 12 o’clock. His policy expir- ed at noon, and his foresight was re- warded by the immediate payment of his weekly indemnity without contro- versy or litigation. ”—New. Orleans Picayune. ' Superior American Pens.

WHAT A LETTER DID. now a Southern Congressman Innocent], vlilado n Lifelong Enemy. “Speaking of stend’graphers,” said a gentleman well known in Washington, who for a number of years represented aLouisiana district in congress, “I once had a secretary, an nnusually"‘dareful and competent fellow, too, whose slight slip in a typewritten letter to a constitu- ent of mine cost me that gentleman’s friendship, a friendship valued much more highly than I can express. “This is the way it came about: At a time when I was well nigh submerged with committee duties “I received a let- ter from the head of one of the most in-' fiuential and widely respected families of the state. His residence had just burned down, he wrote me, the loss coming at a moment when it affected his financial matters to'.‘ no inconsidera- ble extent. ° Could he not presume up0n our many years of friendship to the ex- tent of asking a loan of $250, until the insurance companies should settle his claim? I was deeply moved to learn of his misfortune, and immediately dictat- ed, along with a number of other let- ters, the following lines to him: “ ‘My Dear Sir—I am greatly pained to hear of the calamity which has come upon you. I regret I have not $250 in available finds at present; will send check in a day or two. ’ ‘ ‘Promptly enough the check went, but with equal promptnes‘s‘ it was returned to me, with no word of explanation. I own I was surprised, but concluded he must have received his insurance mon- ey, and the circumstance was gradually forgotten. But it was very forcibly re- called to my mind when next I paid a visit to my home, for he did not call upon me, as he had always been wont to do. On the contrary, be shunned a meeting with me. “Imagine my dismay upon finding that the letter I had sent him, in the most kindly spirit possible, contained these words: ‘I regret I have got $250 in available funds; will send check in a day or two. ’ In vain I explained, apologized, implored. Tohis dying day he never forgave what he termed my studied and unwarranted afi'ront. “That is what the touch of a finger ‘ upon a wrong key did for me, and for years I have never mailed a letter, long or short, without first subjecting it to the most rigid scrutiny. I tell you, sir, it pays to be watchful in this respect. ” —Washington Star. The Last Straw. , Henry Van Meter, who died in Ban- gor about 25 years ago at the advanced age of 110, was a genuine old Virginia darky who drifted down east in some mysterious way in the early part of this century. . He imagined himself charged with inspiration from various spirits and was in reality unbalanced in his mind for the greater part of the time, on ac- count of the superstitious beliefs which possessed him. At one time he was summoned to court as witness in a certain case, and the counsel on each side badgered him with questions until his wits became so entangled that his answers grew quite wild and- preposterous. Noticing the distress and confusion of the poor old witness, the judge, who was a most kind hearted man, hushed the lawyers and put a simple question to the bewil- dered darky, with the intention of bring- ing him back to the starting point. - This third assault, for so Van Meter regarded the kindly judge’s interposi- tion, proved the last straw to the old darky. ‘ ‘Now, look a-heah, yo’ ole gray haired :e’gemman up on de bench dar, ” he broke out, shaking a trembling forefinger at the judge, “don’ yo’ interfere wid dis yer bus’ness at all. Dis chile’s got jess as much as he can do to take care ob dese two fellcrs down heah, an dat’s de truf !’ ’—Yonth’s Companion. A Dog In a Crowd. It is really cruel to take a dog, and particularly a small one, into a crowd. No one possessing any imagination would ever do it. Can you fancy what the feelings of a little animal must be when it finds itself in a perfect forest of legs, each leg provided with a foot shod in hard leather and liable to come down on one of its poor little paws? Its small brain must be in a ferment of ap- prehension all the time, and if it could command any language it- wonld prob- ably be of a powerful kind—Philadel- phia Ledger. How They Eat. The following is the daily ration of the animals at the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris: Ten'ponnds of flesh for each lion, tiger and bear; seven pounds for the panther, three pounds to six pounds for the hyena, one pound for the wild cat, and two pounds for the eagle.
