An Englishman who has been visiting Boston is
surprised to find that many modern Purtsns are be.
ginning to aristOcrac airs, on the ground
that they are the llnea descendants OF the old
Putans who first settled in Massachusetts, 1t amuses
him to find that the people who are sprung from
the sturdy middeclass ye0men who left England
largely because they hated the aristocracy are now
trying to pose aristocrats themselves. This Eng
ushman must have been superficial observer
All modern Puritans who are OF any account glory
In the fact that they have no blue blood In their
veins Only few empty headed Angiomaniacs In
Boston try to trace their descent from the robber

Must the churn gol Perhaps. II the lady whose
experiments are recorded by The Newburg Journal'

necessity This lady put the cream OF several days
milking from her pet Jersey COW In thick cloth ono
day last summer, and, as II was too warm to churp,
she placed the bag In the ground throwing shoveifuI
of earth over It that the cat could not get at u
Next day when she went for her bag she found that
the cream had turned to great yellow lump OF
butter, She adds that she has tried the experiment
dozen times and has always obtained better butter
than by churningn such is i" The Newburg Journals'
statement. of with the restraining influences
of Christmas still permeating Newburg, we feel conf
dent that The Journal would not strike this cruel
blow the time honored churn unless It was convinced
that the lady in question spoke the words OF truth
and soberness. We may add that the the lady does
not pretend that the great yellow lump of butter"

A Coincidence" Isn't 10 funny ~ remarked Mrs.
Smith, when she was told that man had been killed
IN the street II Just forty seven years ago
last month that Mr.. Black died suddenly oI in New
York 1t is true, he wasn't killed In the same
manner: indeed. to think of It,, he wasn't killed

doesn't make any difference. 1t Is a remarkable
coincidence all the same. -tBoston Transcr pt.
