Boston has had but two city clerks since it
became city. M. Samuel f. McCleary held
the position from 1899 to 1852, thirty years, and
his son succeeded him that year and is also
completing his thrtieth year of service The
Democrats now propose to turn him out, not
because he is inefficient but for the reason that
he quietly votes the Republican ticket at nation
al elections.

Casting the boomerang.

One sf the showmen has imported sov-
cral Australians who are expert with tho
boomerang. The Philadelphia Record de-
scribes an exhibition they gave Ia that
city, and says:
"Thc performance which these curious
people gave was that Of throwing the
boomerang, their native weapon and ia-
plcment OF sport. Tho booD,crangs con-
sisted OF crcscent-shaped pieces Of very
hard and heavy Australian wood, and all
OF them had sharply rounded cdgcs and
ends, but were OF differing curves, some
being nearly straight. The average,
length was about two feet, the width the
same number Of inches, and their great
est thickness not more than half an Inch.
Standing in tile centre Of LONG iot
they would grasp boomerang by the
end, whirl it over their heads and let it
90, when Il would hy In a straight limo
for about 200 feet, then curve upwards
for about half that distance aud sail away
Ia n directly contrary direction until II
was perhaps about 200 feet behind the
spot from which 1t hal originally been
cast, curve again to the right or LEFT, and
finnlly strike the ground almost mt the
thrower's feet, all the while spinning
around so rapidly as to look like a wheel
The men seemed to take great delight IN
the sport, and for half an hour held the
wondering attention of the invited guests
OF tkeir manager and the horde Of howl
ing small boys who bad sealed tho fence
and run the blockade of the gates.
In the marvellous flight Of the boom
erang the most effective triumphs Of the
curve pitcher are outIone thouAandfold,
and the reason for the contrary curve
which 1t takes has always been plzzler
to men Of science.

The Patter Of the Shingle.

When the angry passion gathering, in my

And she leads me To the bedroom-gent!y lays
me on her knee,
Then know that viii catch H. and my flesh
in fancy itches,
As listen for the patter OF the shlngle on my
breeches.
Every tinkle Of the shingle has an echo and
sting;
And a thousand burning fancies into active
being spring
And thousand bees and hornets neath my
coat-tails seem to swarm,
As listen to the pstter OF the shingle, oh, so
warm.
In splutter comes my father-whom sup
posed had gone
To survey the situation and tell her TO lay IL
on:
To see her bending DER me. as listen TO the
strain
Played by her and by the shingle in wild and
weird refrain.
In a sudden intermission, which nppears my
only chance,
say: "Strike gently, mother, or you'll split
my Sunday pants"
She stops a moment. draws her oreath' the
shingle holds aloft,
And says: ~ had not thought OF that-my son.
just take them off,"
Holy Moses and the angels! cast thy plying
glances down,
And thou, oh family doctor, put good, soft
poultice on;
And may with fools and Ounces cvcrlastingly
comminglc,
If Ger say another word when my mother
wiclds the shinglc.

Do you know how the site OF the ancient
city Of Jerusalem was cbo.eny There
we're two brothers who bad adjoining
farms. Tile one brother had large fam
lis, the other had no family. The broiIicr
with large family said: "I'l'erc Is my
brother with no family; hc must be lonely.
and will try to cheer him up, and will
take some of the sicavcs from my field In
the night-time and set them over on his
farm, and say nothing about It." Tho
other said: "My brother las a large fsm-
lily, and II every di6leult for him To sup
port them, md 4 viii help him alons, and
will take some Of the sbeaves from my
farm In tire nigIft-tiine and act them orer
on Iiis farm, and say nothing about H."
So the work or transferring went on, night
after night, but every morning things
seemed tobe jnst a. they were; for tiiougIi
sheayes had been subtraetedf from Zach
farm, rheases had also been added, and
the brathers were pcrpicxed and conId

they met was Thought 80 sacred that IL
was chosen ms the site Of the City q Jeru-
