QUEER WAYS IN OLD BOSTON.
Precautions Which the Town Used to
Take Against Entertaining Paupers.

Precautions Which the Town Used to
Take Against Entertaining Paupers.
Visiting in Boston seems in old
times to have been attended with some
difficulties, and If the differences which
ono would naturally draw from GER
tain entries in the old records are cor
rect the authorities OF the town were
not accustomed to be over given to the
encouragement OF hospitality, what
ever may have been the case with in
dividuals, says the Courier. For a
nesting of the selectmen OF the town
held Nov. 10. 1740. for instance, the
record begins as follows:
MRS. Rebekah Young, Appearing.
Informs that She with One Child is
lately come into this Town, from Har-
witch. to Visit her Sister, that she in
tends to return in the Spring, Il that
she hath brought with her to the
Value OF Two Hundred Pounds in
Money and Household Goods.
Liberty has granted her to tarry
until the Spring and then to return to
Harwich with her Child or give Sc
curity to Indemnify the Town"
The good folks of Boston were in a
perpetual panic in those days less they
should get upon their hands to take
care of paupers that really belonged TO
some other community. and it is very
likely that they had good reason for
their fear and their precautions. One
would suppose, however, that a wom-
an who could bring with her couple
of hundred pounds in gold and gear
might be OF sufficient Importance to be
spared the formality OF appearing be-
fore the selectmen OF the town. 1t
would be interesting to know how
small an amount of belongings would
have admitted her to the privilege of
passing the winter with her sister.

The Use OF water I'm London.

One does not find any period in the
history OF London when tho citizens
desired plain cold water as IA beverage.
Beer was always the national drink
they drank small ale for breakfast
dinner and supper; when they could
get II they drank strong ale. OF wa
ter for washing there was not at this
period so great demand rs at present.
At the same time it is not true to say,
as we said a few years ago in the house
Of commons, that for eight hundred
years our people did not wash them
selves. All through the middle ages
the use OF the hot bath was not only
common but frequent and In the case
Of the better classes was almost a
necessity OF life. --Harpers Magazine

A WIND PHENOMENA.

Tho Form alton OF the Formidable Sand
Anger Of tho Plains.
One OF the most curious wind phe-
nomenons Is the sand augers" which
arc observed on the wide plains
where the atmosphere Is hot and dry.
When the Union Pacific railway was
being constructed the workmen had
frequent opportunities OF witnessing
the formation and progress OF these
'Tand-auger whirlwinds. They were
especially frequent In the Lodge Pole
Creek Valley. through which the
railway. leaving the Platte river. runs
in northernly direction.
The first indications OF the near ap-
proach OF one OF these .'augers" would
be tho formation here and there in the
valley OF little dust whirlwinds or
baby cyclones. These would be
whisked away by strong currents Of
cool air. coming from no one knew
where, but all drawing across the val
ley towards the eastern range OF hills,
their places being almost instantly oc-
cupicd by a advancing funnel
shaped cloud. like that observed hang
ing over water-spouts which are FORM
ing at sea.
From under the surface OF this low
lying cloud swaying tongue OF lead
colored vapor would prolong itself to-
wards the earth, from which, as II to
meet the monster of the air. would
rise cloud OF dirt and sand. This
earth column would rise higher and
with swift whirling motion. becom-
ing more compact all the while, until
the blue-black vapor from above and
the brown mass from below would
unite and form the typical sand auger
of the plains"
The diameter OF these augers seldom
exceeded Is or 20 feet at the ground,
but their bulk increased with their
height until they were merged into
the broad surface OF the thick. murky
vapor OF the cloud above When this
occurred. lightning flashes would sport
about the upper stratum Of the cloud
and immense hailstones be formed in
the dark point beneath. When all
conditions were favorable. these hail
stones would be thrown, by centrifugal
force, out from tho revolving cloud.
These hailstones were almost invari-
ably OF fat disc shape. from 8 to 6
inches In diameter an inch to an inch
and half thick, and made up OF oil.
ternate layers OF sand and ice.
