The WAYS of Old Time Boston,

Visiting in Boston seems in old times
to have been attended with some diff.
culties, and if the differences which one
would naturally draw from certain en-
tries in the old records are correct, the
authorities of the town were not accus'
toned to be overgiven to the encourage.
ment of hospitality, whatever may have
been the case with individuals. For a
meeting of the selectmen of the town
held on Nov. 10, 174O, for instance, the
record begins as follows:
Mrs. Rebekah Young, Appearing In,
forms that She with One Child is lately
come into this Town, from Harwich t.
Visit her Sister, that She intends to re.
turn in the Spring, & that She hath
brought with her to the Value of Two
Hundred Pounds in Money and House.
hold Goods.
elderly is Granted her to tarry I'm,
til the Spring, and then to return to Har
wich with her Child or give security to
indemnify the Town"
The good folk of Boston were in a per
petual panic in those days lest 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 fea,
and their precautions. One would sup.
pose, however, that a woman who could
bring with her a couple of hundred
pounds in gold and gear might be of suf-
ficient Importance to be spared the for:
mality Of appearing before the select.
men of the town. 1t would be interest
ing to know how small an amount of be.
longings would have admitted her to the
privilege of passing the winter with her
sister.-Boston Courier.

Wood Stews.

We have all had our sympathies
aroused by the statement that the natives
Of northern Siberia are often, during
famines, compelled to resort to wood for
food. The fact is that careless obsery-
ers have simply been imposed upon. or
they have jumped at conclusions with
out caring. or perhaps being able to
make inquiries, and because they thought
that a statement about being compelled
to use wood for food would make a heart
rending page for their books, and by in
ference show what a distressing time
they themselves must have had among
such surroundings.
Wood In a certain form is a most COM
mon and constant article of diet on the
Lena river, all along the north coast and
IN the immediate neighborhood of Yak
utsk, In fact wherever the Yakut resides.
North of ~Verchoyansk, except in a few
sheltered valleys, it may be said there is
no other wood than the larch, and for
miles south Of the tree limit absolutely
no other.
The natives eat it because they like it.
Even when fish are plentiful it usually
forms part Of the evening meal, as the
many clearly stripped larch logs near
every hut testify.
These people know by experience that
the fact of their eating wood arouses the
sympathies of strangers, and shrewdly
use it to excite pity and to obtain a gift
of tea and tobacco. They scrape off the
thick layers Immediately under the bark
of a log, and chopping it fine mix it with
snow. 1t is then boiled in a kettle. Some
times a little fish roe is mixed with it,
and further south cows milk or butter.
Il have o~ften," says William H.
Schuetze, "'seen it eaten without any
thing additional, although, as in the
present instance, there was apparently
enough other food on hand."-Youth's
Companion.

Nc Good Substitute for Tea,

There has never been discovered a good
substitute for tea. During the war of
the revolution our forefathers adopted a
elderly tea," which was made from a
four leaved plant called 'loose strife"
This plant was pulled up like fax; its
stalks, stripped of their leaves, were
boiled; the leaves were then put into an
iron kettle, and the liquor of the stalks
poured over them. After this process
the leaves were laid upon platters and
carefully dried in a brick oven heated
for the purpose.
Tea. Favored with vanilla and rum, is
a popular drink in Germany. The rum
prevents the tea drinker from lying
awake at night.-Detroit Free Press,

Waco's Wonderful Rats,

Waco, Tex, is infested with rats in
countless legions. They run through
the streets, invade the stores and resi-
dences, devour grain, -four and grocer
les, and make themselves unmitigated
]nuisances, which the application of ordi-
nary and extraordinary remedies has
failed to remove. While they accept al
most anything that comes in their way
as edible, they have a penchant for eggs,
and the way they convey them from the
nests to their holes is thus related by
Sam Whaley, the jailer, who has made
their habits a study:
II set an old black hen right up there"
he said, pointing to the corner Of the Jail
yard where Sheriff Dan Ford's horses are
stabbed, "and they carried off every egg
and broke the hen up. she went to lay
ing again in two weeks, and made her
nest in another stall. Two eggs were in
the nest, and these remained undis-
turbed, but when the third was laid it
disappeared, two still remaining. I
watched and saw the rats come-four Of
them.
"The smallest of the quartet straddled
his four legs over the egg, Rugged it
tight, then rolled over on his back, hold
ing the egg tightly pressed against his
belly. One rat took the PROSTATE one by
the ears just like a boy holding the han
dies of a wheelbarrow and kept him
steady, while the other two took him by
the tail, and away they went, pushing
and pulling until they got the egg to
their hole under the brick wall"-COr

WHY THE BRITON BEARS IT.

The water companies keep these prlm-
tive plugs in stock, some thousands of
them, but it lever occurs to anybody to
place the supply pipes deeper in the
ground and thus prevent freezing. This,
then, is the way the Londoner, or his
water company, prepares for the annual
visit of Jack Frost. But the preparation
is effective only when the water mains
are laid we'll below the surface. When
they are not there is a water famine
throughout extensive districts, as at
Brixton, at Hampstead and other places
in London town.
Why not lay the water pipes deep
enough?
If you had ever lived among these
droll people you would not ask that ques-
ton. The pipes have never been laid
deep enough, and therefore never will
be-not this side of the millennium.
The water supply of London is bad
enough at its best. AT its worst, in the
winter, it is too bad for words. Nobody
but these droll people would submit,
wear after wear, to the ridiculous system
Of supply and the outrageous charges.
EEt the BritOn is a patient soul. He be-
iiNVCS that whatever he has IS the best or
is kind, and he resents any suggestion
to the contrary. A water supply that
was good enough for his grandfather is
= good enough for him; moreover, it is
good enough for you. There's the rub
OF the argument. Its good enough for
YOU" Why, in the name of justice,
should you, a foreigner, complain? Out
upon you for an ~ungrateful alien.
Nevertheless, one has to suffer from
this drollery. When he does not suffer
he can smile. But that is the almost he
can do. You cannot change the habits
of a nation. And you cannot induce
100000 % people to put their water pipes
