Who lives in a house made of glass,
And from her location
Marks each vibration

When heat is announced, she will spring
To quickly make note of the thing.
’Tis very surprising
That simply by rising
So true a report she can bring.
To self elevation inclined
She has such a volatile mind
That in every season
A suitable reason
For frequent depression she’ll find.
Her temper mercurial thus
Creates everywhere such a fuss
That in conversation
Affairs of the nation
Are slighted, this maid to discuss.

FRANKLIN’S GRAVE.
Reasons Given For Allowing: It to Remain
In Its Present Condition.
Benjamin Franklin’s grave is in a
neglected condition. No appropriate
stone rises over it, the ground round
about it is uncared for, and the tomb of
the great scholar a!nd statesman is as
obscure as that of a man whose name
and fame were no part of the glory of
his country.
His 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 age.
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 the whole place.
The sexton said that the descendants
of Franklin would not do anything to
repair the grave; neither would they al
low anybody else to do anything. Ev
ery day he has received offers of sub
scriptions 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 he has been instructed, that
Franklin wished it so, “being a plain
man averse to display of any kind.”
Not long age, at his own expense, he
bad the fading inscription rear". or else
even the only distinguishing mark, the
name, would be gone.

Quilts Some, of them
are three inches
thick. Just the thing for a
present.
Ts be had 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 the living rela
tives of Franklin. The responsibility
rests With the 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
his own gravestone and instructed a.
stonecutter of his acquaintance in every
detail, even to the inscription which
was to be placed upon it. He 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 he ordered
it reads:
: BENJAMIN I :
; and I FRAN KLEI :
; DEBORAH | :
: 1790 :
Everything was done as ha desired,
and the work was paid for out of his
estate and stands today the same as
when he died.—Philadelphia Times.

Just what it is that induces poison
ivy to play its injurious pranks on some
people at some times and not at others
is still a profound mystery. One thing
is certain—the number of people
susceptible to the poisoning influence
must be extremely few, from the fact
that in the vicinity of Philadelphia the
Highways and byways are overrun with
the plant to an enormous extent. It is
frequently impossible for people to go
by without brushing against it, and if
it is the vapor or some exudation from
the plant which causes the trouble thou
sands of persons must be under the in
fluence to every one who suffers from
it. The writer of this paragraph knows
of a tract of land on which the plant
grows profusely and on which many
scores of laborers are employed. These
laborers are frequently set to weeding
and pulling out the plant by the naked
hand, and, so far as the writer knows,
none of these men was ever poisoned by
it. The cattle eat it greedily whenever
they get an opportunity It seems to
have no injurious influence on them.—

JAPANESE GIRL AT YALE.'
Yoshi the Pint Girl Student of Her Land
to Enter That University.
Students from many far corners of the •
world have come to Yale, but Yoshi
Yamaguchi is the first Japanese girl to
enter the old institution. She is accom
panied by her brother Lelichi, who is
also a student at the university, but she
is just as enthusiastic about getting a
higher education as is he. Lelichi is 21
and only one year her senior. He is her
jgl;

hero and protector. For her he gave up
half the allowance which his father
gave him to finish his education, and in
order to make both ends meet he is
working as a waiter in the French res
taurant where many of the Yale stu
dents take their meals.
Yoshi prepared for college at the
American mission in Kioto, where for
nine years she was a student. She has
only been in this country a few weeks
and still wears her kimono, or native
dress, making a most picturesque figure
as she trips across the campus with her
tall brother. She has already discarded
her wooden shoes for tiny leather boots
of American manufacture.
Yoshi is petite and decidedly pretty.
Her hair is black and glossy, her cheeks f
tinged with pink! which shows through
the olive tint, and her eyes of such fas- '
cinating brilliancy that it is difficult to
imagine bow any unsophisticated un
dergraduate can resist them. She studies
in her brother’s rooms, which are locat- f
ed in West Divinity hall, but she boards h*
in a solid, substantial old New England |
mansion on Washington street, which
must seem strange to one accustomed to -
the toyhouses of Japan. Yoshi

does her big brother.
