Old Time lanes in Boston.

Some OF the old time lanes of Boston
have suffered a loss Of character from the
change in their occupancy. Thus Alden's
lane, which was transformed into Alden
street in 1916, was the hcme of Capt John
Alden, who was well snown naval com
mander, and had charge of the province
galley for many yearr, besides having
served in the Indian anG French wars An
element of romance i'll his life Was his be-
ing accused of witchcrait and effecting his
escape from prison and chen being cleared
by proclamation" before the time of trial.
During his examinatioa he is said to have
behaved himself nlanfully A part of Es-
sex street used to recall the name of an old
time Boston family in Auchmuty's lane.
Two members of this family were distin-
guished at the bar, and one Of them assist
ed Adams and Quincy in the defence of
Capt. Preston for his participation in the
'sBoston massacre"
Spring lane is not one of those names
which is preserved here in Boston today,
but it still retains in it's name the charac-
teristic which justifies it. 1t marks the To-
cation of the great spring" which is men
toned in the early records of the town, and
which flowed through Gov. Winthrop's
garden, on the site of which is the Old
South. The spring still bubbles up under
the postoffice, and the water requires to be
pumped out to prevent the premises from
being f1ooded.-Boston Post.

Do You Know a Good Ciparq

One great trouble is that so many snok-
ers do not know what they want! They
ask for Havana cigars, and declare that
they want them, but, as a fact there are
many of them that do not want anything
of the kind was in store the other day
when well known man came in and asked
for a box of fine Havana cigars, saying
price was no object so long as he was suit
ed. The dealer showed him Havanas at 25
cents each and Is cents each; Sumatra and
Havana at 10 cents each, and finally good
Havana filler, with Connecticut wrapper
This suited him, he paid twice its value
and was content. If the ordinary price had
been asked of him he would have declared
them poor, and that the dealer had no fine
stock on hand. This is an absolute fact
the man wanted a sweet, mild smoke, and
he got it and was suited Pittsburg Dis

A "Reminiscences of Thac,zerav.

Can l picture Thackerays appearance
after the lapse of all these years? can see
him sin my minds eye' perfectly, but to
describe him with pen and ink is not easy
He is tall and broad shouldared, and had a
complexion like Horace Greeley's, pure
milk and roses, such as a girl might envy.
His hair was very white, his nose us fiat as
any negroes lit had been broken, believe)
and he wore large spectacles pushed close
against his eyes. Neither in appearance
nor in manner did he make a favorable i'm
preston upon me; but then l was verdant
American girl, and he was, l remember
him using this expression frequently, "a
great gun" He swore in the presence of
ladies, an offense which, in America in
those days, almost assumed the proportions
of crime; and this was Thackeray in
Paris. A celebrated author, a critic of
manners and in the most polished capital
in Christendom. He struck me as being a
coarse man, without throb of tenderness
in his nature. | was mistaken.--Olive

The Value Of Fat Pork.

The standard of force produced in a hu.
man body is based on the estimate of the
number of tons a person can lift in a day
one perpendicular foot. We call these foot
tons Expressed in this way the vital en-
ergy of q man in his prime averages 5000
foot tons. Unusually strong men might
go as high as 1000, even 5000. This force
has a fixed relation to the food consumed
in the same time. Ii the food were oxi
died in laboratory-tha is, simply and
actually burnt would give by it's heat
the same mechanical equivalent in foot
tons as when it is burned as the bodily It's
sue which it supplies the waste of.
Different foods are estimated in relation
to the same foot ton. The waste of man s
tissue by an amount of labor represented
by l6 foot tons is what one cabbage could
furnish the repair of, for instance. One
ounce of carrot could thus stand agains.
20 foot tons; of milk, against 24 foot tons
of lean meat, against So; of oatmeal, against
l52; of butter, against 2S1, and of fat pork
against even more than butter. You have
here an indication of the great value of fat
pork to those doing very severe labor as
the men in winter lumber camps, soldiers
in active service, sailors, and the like-M.

Allusions to the flight of time often pro-
duce strained relations, even between the
dearest friends. II always liked those
flowers" said one lady, admiringly regard
ing the bonnet worn by another ''They
always remind me of our first meeting, six
years ago. They were as becoming to you
then as they are now"
still more caustic mention of a past
event has served to point at once reproof
and joke.
At a certain trial in an English court a
lawyer, named Ribton, addressed the jury
at great length, repeating himself con
stantly and never giving the slightest sign
of closing his speech. When he had been
pounding away for several hours the Judge
interposed, and said:
Mr. Ribton, you have told lis that be
fore'
did l, my lords" said Ribton. "pm
very sorry. Iquite forgot it."
Don't apologize, Mr.. Ribton, was the
answer; 81 forgive you, for it was very
long time ago."-Youth's Companion.

A Queer Funeral Direction,

The story is told of certain Frenchman
who had been great collector of coins
By his will he directed that his obsequies
should be performed with every accompa-
niment calculated to inspire mirthful feel
ings. His body was to be wrapped in
tanned pig skin and buried cofinless in a
standing position upon pile of charcoal
Laurel branches were to be carried by the
mourners, and on returning from the
church they were to throw open the cham
bers in which his treasures were deposited
and all corners were welcome to help them
selves as they pleased to the contents. 1t
was sore disappointment to the public,
however, to find that before they were adj
mitted the servants of the deceased had
decamped with everything that was port
able.-Cassell'S,

The Sicily Islanders.

A traveller who has visited the Scilly
Isles says: "You have not been in Suilly
five minutes before you are struck with
the remarkable purity of the English spok
en-. There is no dialect, no provincialsm;
every word is clearly enunciated, every
sentence is perfectly constructed, and a
Scillonian, no matter what his position
can talk with you on any subject. They
are politicians moralists, philosophers and
practical men of business us we'll. Nothing
in Scilly struck me so much as the high
order of intelligence and vast general
knowledge of the inhabitants.
''The engineers on the amboats, the
man who rows you about the islands, the
gardener at work among his flowers, will
all converse with you on any general topic
you like to start, and force you to admit
that, in the art of talking, the result of
wide reading and intelligent observation,
in pure and elegant English, they have not
their equal in any part of the kingdom
There is only one policeman for all the isl
ands, and he goes fishing or gardening all
the week, and only puts his uniform on on
Saturday night. There is one island con
tanning over 200 inhabitants, in which there
are only two men who are not total alb
stainers, and only one man who smokes
The islands appear to be very healthy, for
we are told that there is only one doctor
for all the islands,"

Southern Blood in New York.

"Fifty per cent. of the men who have
distinguished themselves at the New York
bar and rs per cent. of the most prominent
physicians and surgeons are southerners
by BIRTH" remarked j. F. L. Anderson, of
Richmond, Va, as he STOOD upon the steps
of the Fifth Avenue hotel II could string
off their names by the score, and have no
hesitation in saying that the best brains in
New York have come from Virginia, Mary
land, Tennessee and Kentucky. Now that
VIC are getting some of you northerners to
come down south and invest your money
we will show you what the south can do.
The best blood and brains of the north and
the south are now closely allied in business
and other things. New York World.

Curious Infirmity of Hearing.

Editor Cowles, late of The Cleveland
Leader, was the victim of singular in
trinity of hearing. 1t partook somewhat
of the nature of color blindness, as that at
fects the eye, he being unable to hear GER
tain sounds at all. For example, he never
heard the song of bird in his life. A
whole room full of canaries might be in
full song and yet he could not hear note,
but the rustic of each tiny wing would be
plainly audible, such sounds being dis
tinctly materialized on the tympanum of
his ear. He could hear all the vowels, but
there were many consonants which he
never heard. He could hear man whisper
but could not hear him whistle. The up
per notes of piano or other musical in
strument were as nothing to him, but the
lower notes could be heard without diff
culty.-St. Louis Republic.

Thought She Saw n TarantuIa

The other night Mrs. Harrington, of AL
bany, Ga, was peeling banana, and felt
something grasp the forefnger of her right
hand. On looking down she saw great
big tarantula holding on by his two front
legs to her finger, and endeavoring to get
hold with the others, so as to be able to bite
her. She shook her hand and heard him
slam up against the pantry wall. She said
nothing about it until next morning, when
a thorough search was made for it, and the
pantry swept out. But no tarantula could
be found, although Mrs. Harrington, who
was reared in Louisiana, where tarantulas
are common, was positive that it was reg
ular double breasted tarantula that she
had seen.-Atlanta Constitution

Synonyms for Money.

The huge number of synonyms for money
illustrates remarkably well the variety of
sources from which our slang words are re-
cruited and the remarkable appositeness of
some of them. We may talk of our money
in scores of ways; among which are, for in
stance, ''the actual" ''the needful," or
'the wherewithal;;" ''beans," "blunt,"
"tin" or ''brass;" "chips," "dibs' or
'pieces;" "dust," chinck' or ''shot;"
"shekels," "spondulics" or "dollars;;"
stamps" feathers" or palm dip
which last is such an obviously appropriate
name for it that "shinplaster'' seems feeble
by comparison, and the young but widely
popular "oof," "oof bird" and "oof fish"
imbecile and inane.-Pall Mall Gazette.
