THE CITY OF BOSTON.

Some Statistical Facts in Regard to Its
 Increase of Population.
 The original Boston, as founded by Gov. John Winthrop in 16SO, was estab- lishcd on a rocky three-hilled peninsula, in whose thickets wolves and bears were yet harbored, and which was known variously as Shawmut and Fri mountain. The settlement itself was a sort of afterthought, being taken as n substitute for Charle stown, where a temporary abode had been founded by Winthrop's party There had been much illness there, and so MT. Blackstone, or Blaxtone, who had for seven years been settled on the peninsula, urged the transfer of the little colony. The whole tongue of land then comp rised but 7sS acres-an area a little less than that originally allotted to the New York Central park. Boston now includes %, ,661 acres-about thirty times the or iginal extent of the peninsula.
 It has population of about 300. 000- the census of 1890 showing AIS, AT in- habitants. By that census it was the sixth in population among American cities, being preceded by New York, Chicago, Philadelphia. Brooklyn and St. Louis It 1880 it ranked fifth, St. Louis having since outstripped it. In 1870 it was only seventh, both St Louis and Baltimore then preceding it AS with most American cities, this grow th
 has been partly due to the annexing ot
 suburbs; but during the last ten years, with a growth of s5,642, there has been | no such annexation, showing the in crease to be genuine and intrinsic. But the transformation in other ways has been more astonishing than the growth Of the original three hills. one only i: now noticeable by the stranger. my
 self can remember Boston in my college
 days as a pear-shaped peninsula, two
 miles by one, hung to the mainland by
 neck Q mile long and only few yards
 wide, sometimes actually covered by
 the meeting of the tide waters from
 both sides. The water almost touched Charles street, where the public garden
 now is, and 1t rolled over the flat
 where the costliest houses of the city a present stand.-T. w. Higginson, in St | Nicholas

Why Easter Eggs Are Boiled.

In Christian countries, from the fourth century, the church prohibited the use of eggs during the forty days of Lent; but as the hens did not cease to lay, a large quantity of eggs were found to have accumulated at the end of the period of abstinence. These were usually given to the children, and, in order to render them more attractive, they were dyed with gay colors or otherwise ornamented. A favorite game was to knock two eggs together. and whichever broke became the property of him who had the other Of course this would not profit much If the eggs were in fluid state, and thence came the custom of boiling them hard.

 "I thought you were going to plant flowers here" she said. It was bright morning and Ali was making garden.
 No, onions" he replied.
 "Ah, and your apparent love for flow CTS was mere pretensc after all"
 "No, like flowers well enough. but 1 want few onions as go along. And besides" he added, smiling at her, "I'vc got the brightest flower there is"
 She pouted. "If you thought very much of mo you'd show it."
 What, don't I show it?'
 "No-not much" "Well then, show little of what I've got a heap of"
 This was the very first suggestion of disagreement. The next was more pro nounced. It was summer and they were sitting on the vCranda.
 "Mallic, tell you that don't want that fellow Bidncy to come round here.
 But did 1 tell him to come?" shC ! quickly spoke up. II don't know" he answered | "You don't knOw?"

 Do you mean that?" he demanded. ''lln you want me to mean it?'
 Do want you to? That's woman, l must say. l don't care whether you mean it or not"
 "If you don't care, I mean it"
 "All right. Madam" he added, get ting up. it isn't too late. There's a courthouse not far away. Good-by." "Alf."
 II said 'good-by."
 "What are you going to do?' she cried.
 "Im going away-my love is dead.' Scarcely able to understand what had occurred, she stood watching him until he had disappeared in the woods.

in northern Missouri, and Ali Garrett married her. There had been SO much rivalry in this affair that the courtship was referred to as "hard fight" Ali was an impressive fellow, and it was said that he had mighty knacll" for mall- ing a living, and yet Mallic's surrender to him was the cause of great surprise; for the consensus of opinion was, "why, she could have married anyh"dy." It was undoubtedly fact that she could have married Sol Kidney, and people wondered why she didn't, for Sol had considerable money and was much handsumcr man than Ali Garrett.
 Where there has been much rivalry during courtship, there is likely to be discorl after marriage. Recollection is sp,trful promoter of dissrnsion-it brings back rusc-hucd chances and pits them against q dull-rolorcd possession.

ROANOKE, VA, MAY 3, 1898.
.AnoLIsHING THE OCrROI.

The vote of urgency given in the
Trench chamber of deputies yesterday
in the motion to abolish the octroi
duties is of deeper significance than the
telegram indicates. In France the
federal custom still prevails of collect
ing revenue tariffs on articles brought
into towns from the surrounding
country.
All articles OF food are usually taxed.
Wood, fodder, grains, vegetables,
poultry, eggs meats and live stock are
made to pay tribute to the tax gatherer.
THO effect of this onerous and outrage
Gus tax is that the consumers have it to
pay in the end and, in this wise, the
poor, who are the principal consumers
are heavily taxed.
Tho vote is sure indication that
French politicians have at last been
forced by the people to recognizs that
the octr0i tax is an outrageous robbery
and no longer to be endured.
