through the streets. A crowd of citizens
collected in the afternoon bent on vengeance
on the soldiers; but it was Friday, and in
two days it would be Sunday, and no Bos-
tonian in that day would begin a work for
the finishing of which there was not plenty
of time before the Sabbath. They were
bent on hammering the soldiers, but not on
Sunday. So they waited till Sunday had
passed, nursing their wrath in the mean
time. The next day, after having relig-
iously attended divine worship, they re-
assembled. They went at it early. Between
6 and o'clock in the morning several hum
dred men, armed with all kinds of imple-
ments, assembled in Kings (now State) street,
shouting that they would drive out the
soldiers. Two hours after they attacked
some soldiers in Dock square. There was q
good deal of shouting and crying of fire and
tearing up of property; the citizens poured
into the streets; the town was in commo-
tion This continued through the day. and
before midnight the din of shouting, ringing
of bells and rattle of musketry were per-
feet bedlam
Finally, as matters were quieting down, a
tall man, Mephistopheles like. in white
wig and a scarlet cloak, suddenly appeared
on the scene and commenced to harangue
the crowd, concluding his remarks with the
words, "To the main guardn The words
were re-echoed by his listeners, and divid-
ing in three divisions they went by different
routes to the main guard. One of the divi-

guard for protection, and Capt Preston, the
officer Of the day, sent him eight men with

Boston Has just Been Celebrating Il
BY dwelling Monument.
One hundred and eighteen years ago on the
9Th Of March next was shed the first blood n
the conflict of the colonies Of America with the
mother country. Five colonists were at that
time killed in an encounter with British
troops. More than century after the work
these rebels began was finished the people Of
Boston have united in erecting a monument
to their memory, and in commemoration Of
the beginning of q struggle which ended with
the independence Of the colonies.
Two British regiments had in 176s been
quartered on the people Of Boston. The colo
nists were already much excited over the un-
popular stamp act and were in no mood to
tolerate the presence Of soldiers
The beginning Of the affair was unim-
portant A soldier was strolling by rope
walk, and unluckily got into row with the
workmen employed there The soldier got
'sicked." He went to the barracks, brought
some other "redcoats." and together thew

The Complaining Dyspeptio Boarder.


Who Of us that has ever ssboardedn in the
usual way has not been at some time afflicted
with the society Of the complaining dyspeptio
boardera The malady is too prevalent for us
always to escape her, though it doesn't follow
that she must be disagreeable stamp of
invalid By no means. But there is one
specimen which haunts public tables, whether
at home or abroad, that we would all like to
have suppressed by fair means or foul. You
ask one of these dyspeptics, sWill you have
some white bread2" and she replies with the
air of wife Of a candidate, sNo, 1 don't eat
anything made Of white -four. It seems to
swell up inside of me-" s'Shall help you to
some ragout Of vealT' 'sNo, thanks" this
time she speaks with angelic sweetness, "I
love it, but it doesn't love me!"-such an orig
inal remark!-'the last time ate veal was
up all night" and then she folds her hands
resignedly under the table. sCheese2n ssNo.
thanksl-this dyspeptic kind of woman al
ways says, "Thanks, it does not agree with
me; my husbands father was doctor, and
he told me never to eat cheese with my
stomach" !" and so on, and SO on.
Then she will be sure to recommend Ger.
tain dishes to the assembled guests, and to
her daughter. if she has daughter, it is:
'Susie, dear, eat only the stone fruit, and a
great deal of it; it is so good for you, dear. !.
Or it is: 'susie, remember your stomach
was out of order yesterday; don't eat thatr'
Until you have succession of internal and
Internal pictures, as delightful sauce for
your dinner, breakfast and lunch converse
tions The beauty of it is, this chronic suf-
ferer consumes more food than person Of
healthy appetite with perfect digestion. You
can't blame anybody for having disordered
pate de foie gras liver, but it is rather dis
tressing to continually hear about it. AS
bright creature said not long ago after being
thrown into the company of this pronounced
type of dyspeptic: "Why, I'd just as soon
darn my stockings between the courses or
manicure my nails, or do anything Of that
sort at the table, as to talk of uproarious re-
bellious interior organs, and yet have had
to listen to a running commentary on them
for six weeksr' It Is question if chapter
on this American trait shouldn't be added to
certain little manual on etiquette and table
manners that some Of us would like imme-
diately answered in the af1rmative.-Boston

sailors, cheering,
knocked the muskets with their clubs and
shouted to the mob to sscome onn Mean
while Capt. Preston came on the ground
and endeavored to quiet matters. Attucks
aimed blow at his head, which the cap-
tain parried with his arm. The weapon
felled a soldier, and Attucks seized his bayo-
net. At that juncture voices behind Capt
Preston shouted, "Why don't you fireg' A
soldier struggling with Attucks, supposinr
it to be an order, shot Attucks dead. Five
other soldiers fired at intervals. Three citi
oens were killed, five wounded, and a few
others slightly hurt. Crispus Attucks. Sam
uel Gray and James Caldwell were killed
outright. Samuel Maverick and Patrick
Car received mortal wounds.
Boston was soon quieted down, but the
Boston massacre" became horror through
out the colonies and went far to deepen the
discomfort with British rule.
It is in celebration of this event. and mar
ticularly of the part taken by Attucks, that
the monument recently unveiled in Boston
and here figured has been erected.
The monument was designed by Robert
Kraus, Of Boston. It is of Concord granite
"a feet inches high. On the face Of the
pedestal is bas relief representing the Gel
ebrated massacre" In the foreground =
seen the body of Attucks. In the center is
represented the old state house, and behind

relief stands statue of stFree America y al

Defending the Dutch Language.

Our aggressive mother tongue, which is
pushing its way into every corner of the
earth, has aroused the South African repub-
lie by its encroachments, and the Beers are
rallying to the defense of Dutch as the ma
tional language,
When it was announced in the volksraad
the other day that the English language was
spoken in the public Offices, in the markets,
and was even creeping into the courts, the
vice president stood up for the vernacular,
and declared that he would give every drop
of blood in his body to uphold the Dutch
language. The legislature then authorized
the government to require that only TIE
Dutch be used by public officials and in the
market places and courts. Two Englishmen
who were enjoying lawsuit were thereupon
informed that if they could not talk Dutch
they must hire an interpreter or aet out Of
court New York Sun.

A Village in Scotland.

IL was picturesque place and we camped
out while under an old cart near the road
side. Perhaps it would have been wise If.
like Mr.. Hamerton, we could have ssen only
the picturesqueness of the Highland clachan.
only the color and sublimity of the huts. only
the fine women who live within them. But
how could we sit there and not see that the
picturesqueness was that Of misery, that
whatever color and sublimity there might be
and to the sublimity must confess We
were blind-were but outward signs Of pow
erty and squalor, and that the huts sheltered
not only strong young women, but feeble old
men like that pathetic figure with the clasped
hands and bent headi We have seen the old
age Of the poor when we thought it but q
peaceful rest after the work OF years. In
English almshouseswe have found it in our
hearts to envy the old men and women their
homes. But here despair and sadness seemed
the portion of old age.
A few miles away, men in fortnight
throw away on their fishing more than these
people can make in years Scotch landlords
rent their wild uncultivated acres for fabu-
lous sums, while villages like this grow desc
late. II when you are in the Highlands you
would still see them as they are in the ro-
nance of Scott or in the sickly sentiment Of
Landseer, or asa mere pleasure ground for
tourists and sportsmen, you must get the
people out Of your mind, just as the laird
gets them of his estate. Go everywhere, by
stage and steamboat, and when you come
to clachan or to a lonely cottage, shut your
eyes and pass on. Else you must realize as
we did-and more strongly as we went fur
ther-that this land, which holiday makers
have come to look upon as their own, is the
saddest on Gods earth. Elizabeth Robins
Pennell in Harper's Magazine.

CURIOUS TOILET REctPEa

Ingenious Compounds Used by the IAHes -
Ancient Egypt-Personal Adornnasnt.
Curious hair recipes occur on some Of the
papyri, some Of which arc very absurd, One
to prevent the hair from turning gray directs
that 3 salve should be made from the blood
Of black cat cooked IN oil; in another, that
Of a black bull Is preferred for the same
object. Evidently the color Of the animal
was to pass through the salve into the hair.
In another place we read Of the tooth Of Q
donkey dipped in honey being used for really
strengthening the hair; and the ingredients
for an ingenious compound are given for in
juring the hair of q rival, and the counter
remedy to be used by those who think their
hair oil has been tampered by a suspicious
friend. Cakes Of some composition which
absorbed oil were always placed on the heads
Of guests at feasts, and from them the oil
gradually trickled down through the hair.
"A most disagreeable practice this may seem
tosus, but to them it appears to have given
great pleasure; and with the Egyptians a.
well az with the Hebrews oil was symbolical
Of joy and gladnesa
Rouge and other coloring substances were
used by women Of Egypt to enhance, as they
thought, their beauty. The eyes had often Q
green line underneath them; the eyelashes
and eyebrows were penciled; and, as in mod
ern Egypt, the nails were always stained red
with preparation from the henna plant. In
our museums we can see the little pots and
vases formerly filed with these ungoents and
colors, and the pencils they used with them,
as well as various sorts Of combs and hair
pins; of the latter there is very pretty set in
the museum at Boulak- ak-single pronged
wooden pins with jackal heads, stuck into
cushion in the form Of turtle, which was
evidently one Of the favorite dressing table
ornaments belonging to the deceased lady.
All these little essentials Of the toilet were
placed in the tomb by the loving hands Of
friends and relations, for the use of that
spiritual body which they believed required
all the adornment the lady had loved upon
earth. 5
Notwithstanding the elaborate care lavished
by the Egyptian lady on her personal adorn-
ment, she adopted a simplicity Of dress suit
able to the climate in which she lived. Ex-
cept for the wig, the head was usually uncov-
cred, with sometimes colored band tied
headdress but this was more as an official
ornament than as a covering. In common
life also the women, both Of high and low
degree, went barefoot, though they had san
dals to wear when they were in full dress.
These sandals were made Of papyrus or palm
fiber, or Of leather. They had straps to pass
around the foot and between the toes, and in
some piece of the sole was turned up and
bent over the toes to protect them; in later
times some of the leather sandals had sides to
them, which causes them very much to re-
semble modern shoes.-Wo Woman's World.

Under the Walnut Tree.

A well known horticulturist says that Of

the air is always refreshingly cool; it harbors

Criticism Of Masculine salutations.

The city is getting full Of people again,
and I think good many people are getting
full; but that is the sort of thing that we
always expect at a time of great national
excitement. II you want to see something
funny, just watch how they speak to each
other. The average man has about as much
idea of graceful bow as has the average
Sheep He seems to walk forward and to-
give his hand butt. That the man takes
Off his hat and the sheep does not, is prob
ably due to the fact that the sheep has not q
hat In the matter Of grace they are about
even. A woman, nine times out of ten.
smiles when she bows; at least she looks
recognition from out her eyes. A man,
unless he wears eyeglasses, looks moth
ing, and an absolute vacant stare
pervades him. The varnish Of his boots may
glitter, but there is not the slightest CLINT Of
recognition in his face, and even his scarf
pin does not tremble as he says good morn
ing to the woman to whom he has sworn
alteration the night before It Is said by q
philosopher that q dog that 10 furiously mad
will stop quite still and stare II he sees man
take off his hat, the reason being that it sug-
gests to the dog that the man is parting with
portion Of his own being, his physical be-
ing; but if the man who aver tried this be-
fore mad dog did it ss solemnly as the
average man, I can quits understand that
what Mr.. Butterworth calls the ssravenous
animal" would stop in his mad career.
A small boy bows as If he were afraid Of
the criticism. An old man is very apt to.
sweep the air with his hat, because his bow
always has just slight touch Of courtesy.
A dude, like my Angostura, dofs his hat in
asupercilious sort Of way and puts it back a.
quickly as possible, for fear, in the mean
time, you might discover the lack Of brains
exposed to the air. The average man gives,
the average bow, a jerk-hat's off; another
ork-hat1s on, and as you see the back of his
coat tails you presume the bow is for you It
might just as well be for the lamp post. do
not suppose there will ever be time for
women to learn to make the old fashioned
courtesy, for there is something in the very
name that demands time, and, before every
/. thing else, nowadays, time is most valuable.
We have time for folly Of every description.
There is good bit Of time for ortality,
but there doesn't seem to be much for culti-
vation Of good manners or good morala-.

AFTER RuDER ExPER1ENcEs

The slap dash OF the young gentleman
attracted their attention. They looked at
him with curious eyes, and seemed to see in
him prefiguration Of the young America,
about to come to the front. This young
gentleman was on the staff of the governor
Of the state. He was there on duty, but he
then had no more idea of war than any of
the rest of u.s. To him the trip was jolifi
cation. To him the experience was picnic
To him it was all cooked cap, brass buttons,
cinking sword and well written name,
with paymaster of the state of New York
at the end of it. He had no more idea of the
true duties of soldier, then my curled
darling in the yachting suit had of the duties
of a sailor: His dress, SO far as typifying
any character beneath it, was q farce a
sham, pretense, and yet doubt not in later
days, when ruder experiences were under
gone, he developed the manhood that was in
him. His bright buttons became tarnished
by exposure, the blue of his uniform faded
to shiny white, and the noise made by his
sword was not its clinking on the marble
pavement of a metropolitan hotel, but it's
whizzing through the air, as pointing tbs
way, he led his comrades to victory or death,
Mind you, don't believe that the Ameri.
can mind intends deception.
These shams, pretenses, deceits are but the
shining veneer, super laid over the hard
wood endurance of sturdiness of character.

great battles of lite

Well, the obvious suggestion would be to
throw away your brass rings, to slice of
your shoulder humps, to let your waist have
Its normal size, to wear heels of comfort
rather than of show, to plane away the
veneers and stand as you were made, i'm
proving along rightful lines, helping your
selves to grow, that you may extend the
right hand Of fellowship to others who would
like, but are unable, to follow your example.
