BoSToN's FREMONT HOUSE.
A Pamphlet Printed In 1880 Describes
What Was Then q Wonder.

A Pamphlet Printed In 1880 Describes
What Was Then a Wonder.
A curious relic has been found recently
in the shape of a pamphlet describing the
fremont House, probably the only copy in
existence, which was published in 1880 by
Gray 81 Bowen of Boston.
1t contains "a pages and is finely illus
trated, "A pages being devoted to cuts and
plates. Excavation was begun in June,
1928, by company incorporated by the
legislature in 1S24-5, and on the July
4th following the cornerstone was laid by
the Massachusetts, Charitable association.
The building was completed in August,
1929, and opened in October.
The dining room was heated from two
open fireplaces and was regarded as very
fine apartment in those days. The read
ing room was free to guests, but a small
annual subscription was required from
others.
Rainwater was used in the kitchen
from reservoir in the yard, and well
was also drawn upon in the belief that it
was inexhaustible. A cistern was placed
in fremont place. another in the cellar
and two in the attic. Lead pipes We're
used and at that time were considered
NoH'cfIul, us was aiso Gne uSe VI LHolual
in the flooring.
1t was considered to be extremely well
guarded against fire, and the staircases
were thought so wide that inmates could
easily escape by them, no matter how
rapid the conflagration might be.
The doric poruico and stained glass sky
light were the two features in which the
greatest pride was taken, and the doscrip-
ton closes by saying that up to the time
of writing the patronage received by the
house warranted the belief that it would
be beneficial as well as ornamental to the
city.
The book is valued at 500. 1t was pub
lished Ito satisfy curiosity which nu-
merous inquiries for description of the
fremont House were supposed to indi-
cate. "-Boston Globe.

health and strength, walked into the office
of prominent accident insurance COM
pany the other day and applied for pol

you engaged in any hazardous business!"
Not in the least, replied the applicant.
DOCS your business make it necessary
for you to handle loaded firearms or weap-
ons of any kind?"
No. sir
"Would your business ever require you
to be where there were excited crowds
for instance at riot or fire?"
Very seldom"
is your business such as to render you
liable to street cars or runaway horSes?'

The Original Blowout.

You have often heard the expression
We had a great blowout last night, used
in connection with a dance or some sort OF
amusement, said a gentleman yesterday.
DO you know the origin Of the word
blowout No? Well, I'll tell you of 1t.
Away back in the thirties the cotton mills
at Lowell, Mass, were furnished with
operatives from the families of the farmers
living about the town. The SONS and daugh-
tiers of the sturdy farmers held positions in
tho mills, and coming from such good old
stock there was a sort Of social spirit de-
veloped among the employees which is not
found in factories in these days. From
the factories of Lowell some prominent
people have come. Helen Hunt Jackson
was employed there at one time.
1.-The hours were long, and in winter
time lamps had to be provided to give
light to the workers. 1t was before the
days Of kerosene, or, as they used to pro-
nounce it when 1t did come out, 'kero-
sen, with the accent on the o. Whale
oil lamps were burned. They were lighted
on Nov. regularly every year, and their
use was dispensed with on May l. 1t was
tho operation on this latter date that origi-
mated the word blowout When the bell
sounded on this day to quit work, all
lamps were blown out simultaneously,
not to be lighted again until November.
This was called the blowout, and after
this dance or supper would be given,
which at first was called the blowout
dance, or blowout supper, until finally
any festivity attending the extinguishing
of the lamps for the year was called the
blowout So the word blowout was
originated. ''-Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE BORE AT MoNCToN.
A Curious Tidal Wave That Might Pose rs
Miniature Niagara.

A Curious Tidal Wave That Might Pose rs
Miniature Niagara.
We had long known that that curious
freak of the Fundy tides, the bore or
tidal wave, appears at Moncton, \. B.
and at Moncton only-with every tide,
twice a day. AS we stepped upon the
wharf one of US said to the other, SEQ,
there comes the bore!" And there it was,
three miles away, beyond the bend across
which we were looking, long, white,
level streak, cutting across the river ON
bank to bank.
Sighting by houses and trees ale ) the
Shore we could measure how swiftly it
approached, and in very few minutes it
needed no such help to see that it came
rolling on with the speed of railway
train, showing the low, tumbling outline
of broken ROLLER" on the beach. Nearer
and nearer, with sharp, kissing roar, we
almost held our breath, waiting for the
moment when it should pass beneath our
feet Ten minutes from the time we first
saw it the moment came.
Looking down upon it, what we saw was
a head of water, as though from broken
dam, stretching straight across the chan
mel, and rolling, tumbling, foaming as it
raced along, just as a great breaker races
up the beach after its fall. Before it the
surface of the river was low, quiet rip
ping gently downward toward the sea-
Behind the water level was nearly
three feet higher and coursing up from
the sea with the speed and fury of mini
allure Niagara gorge. At the sides tho
foam was brown with mud torn from the
banks, and all the plunging current that
came after was turbid and dark.
We watched that magic white line reoed
ing, twisting and turning as the channel
curved between the wastes of mud fiat
and moment by moment the level of the
racing flood below US climbed higher on
the piling. A group of boys who had been
playing until the last possible second out
on the flats scattered into trailing lines of
black dots making for the shore. At
last, when the white line had grown quite
indistinguishable in the distance, we
turned away. We had seen the bore

A discussion went on among some la
dies lately as to what they would do If by
some means it CHANGED to be in their pow
er to have one desire gratifed-sort of
what would you wish for if you were sure
your wish would be gratiied
1t really proved most interesting.
1t was remarkable to note the difference
in the desires of peuple-' health,
wealth, wisdom, - 1.-The power to go
without eating. the right to abolish
man, etc.
One lady said she never made wishes
any more Her experience was that hav
ing them granted was trial. When she
was a young girl, it had been her dream
to own a silver pie knife and six white
petticoats with edging and insertions of
torchon lace and many clusters of tucks
The fairy godmother was little dilatory
M knocking at her door, for when tho
knife and linen arrived pie had gone out
If fashion and silk skirts were all the rage.

James TickTs Renefactions.

1t will be noticed that James Lick gave
nothing for mere charity. He did not be-
lieve in relieving any human being able to
work from the necessity of earning his
bread. Lick gave to science and educa-
tional Improvement, to public necessity
and to art He did not seek to set up a ri
val to any existing state institution. He
did not duplicate anything. What he
sought were new avenues by which man
kind might be benefited without injury
to themselves or posterity. The only elee-
mosynary institution which he founded
was the Home For Old Ladies. For that
blessings will be showered on his name
through the long centuries
His great telescope on Mount Hamilton
has already made the retiring miller of the
early days a name and fame as wide as the
civilized world. The human sentiment
appeared in honor of his liberal endow
ment of the pioneers. The Academy of
Natural Sciences early attracted his atten
ton as an institution from which great
things might be expected, and it shared
literally in his benefactions No man
could have given more literally, for he
gave all that he had. The deep love of hui
manity which is apparent in all secures
for him place among the benefactors of
mankind second to none.-San Francisco

Quite q Name Changer.

There is woman living in the Sinna-
mahoning valley, Pennsylvania, who was
born an Orr, and by marriage she has in
turn changed her name to Barnes, Gala
han, Rix, Enos, Robinson, Elder and now
Bailey. Each of her six dead husbands
had been a soldier in the late war, and she
married the first one in 1868, when she
was II. 1t is hardly fair to say, either,
that these husbands were exactly six, for
not one of them had all of himself left
when he succeeded to the title Of husband
to this admirer of the military. Three Of
the husbands had only one leg apiece, one
had only seven fingers, besides being short
leg, another wooed and won the widow
with one leg and one arm, and the sixth
was minus an eye. Her present husband
is not a veteran of the war and has all his
legs, arms, fingers and eyes. Mrs. Bailey
is not yet 40 and is the mother of IL chill
dren, two each by her soldier husbands

THE SKATERS PARADISE.
Holland the Country Where All the World
Skates When There Is Ice.


Holland is the paradise of skaters. In
that odd country, where up trains run
on the down line and the COWS are tied to
tho ceiling by their tails, great many
things go by contraries, and skating is one
of them. The weary waiting for black
frost to solidify the waters of deep lakes
and treacherous ponds, which in England
tantalizes the possessor of "Acmes," pre-
vents his sleeping O. nights and drives
skatemakers to suicide, is to the Dutch
man an unknown modification
Skating is indeed almost the only vio-
lent exercise for which the Dutchman has
any liking, and in the winter he holds
high carnival ON the ice. The number of
skating clubs between northern Brabant
and Groningen is infinite, but it is the
provinces north of the Zuyder Zee-Fries-
land and Groningen-that the best skat-
ers are to be found. These are the clas-
steal training grounds of the Dutch ice art
lists.
When there is likelihood of a FROST the
only thing necessary to secure a good
surface is to open the sluices used for
irrigation and inundate the great fiat
meadows The operation is superintended
by representatives of the skating clubs in
the neighborhood. A place of some 6, 900
or 5000 feet in circumference is staked
out around given point, the water is al
lowed to flow in until it is of convenient
depth, and the sluices are then closed. Di-
rectly tho ice is sufficiently thick num-
Der of workmen are told off to keep it
clear of snow, should any fall, and to
sweep it carefully at frequent intervals
Then begin succession of skating COM
petitions. These competitions are got up
by the local skating club. Sometimes
they are international, but clubs and in
dividuals are constantly competing among
themselves. The prizes offered ON these
occasions are often of a considerable
money value, and the funds for providing
them are supplied by the small sum
charged for admission to the skating
ground and the entrance fees paid by the
competitors.
The competitions are usually of three
classes-swiftness, elegance and the clear
ing of obstacles. The latter is amazingly
difficult, even to experts. Yet there are in
Holland a large number of skaters who
can with ease and grace clear, in full ca
reer, the straw covered spaces intended to
represent natural obstacles upon the ice.

FRANCIS WILSON'S PICTURE.
A Touching Painting of Organ Grinder
Sorrowing Over Dead Monkey.

1t is rare that an artist nowadays paints
pivotal picture-one that will turn the
minds of the people, make them reflective
and more considerable of the common
phases of life. Surely Abbott Graves has
touched a chord Of nature which makes
the whole world kin in a work which is
destined to make national reputation for
him. Graves is an artist and is known far
and wide for his flower paintings, but he
sees and studies all sides of life and in
this recent work, entitled The Silent
Partner" has struck the most pathetic
incident he has ever undertaken.
The scene presents an organ grinder
seated on corner of his idle and untuned
instrument. His hands are resting on his
knees, his head bowed and his eyes rivet-
ed upon the object of bis desolation, his
poor, dead monkey lying at his feet as he
has fallen from the cage with his little
gray jacket and pink tunic on, ready to
start out on his weary round to amuse the
eager children or the curious of the busy
thoroughfare.
Seated near the closed door of the hum
BILE room is the organ grinders daughter.
Her tambourine is resting idly at her side,
her hands cover her face, and one can al
most hear the sobs of the heartbroken girl,
who now knows nothing else in her small
world but grief for the lost pet.
Ursus and Homo and Gwinplain over
again. The story of Hugo is brought
wildly to mind. But this event in the
lives of the promiscuous semimendicant
toilers brings US nearer to our own con-
ventionalities. He that owns a pet can
appreciate the scene, but how much more
keenly these poor creatures feel their dou-
Bile loss! No wonder that the comedian,
Francis Wilson, when he saw it, was i'm
pressed with its sad and touching pathos.
Several days after having visited Graves
he returned and remarked: Mr.. Graves,
ever since l saw that picture it has haunt
ed me. Whatever your price, want 1t. "
And so the work has become the property
of an appreciative artist who knows the
world, its joys and sorrows.-Boston Post.

Diamonds and Cutlery.

Uncut diamonds are comparatively
cheap when purchased in London, the
great precious stone market of the world,
but by the time the American duty has
been paid on them and they have been
cut to brilliants by three or four days Of
work-and it never takes Lesson the
part of the lapidary they have more than
doubled in value. Occasionally rough
diamonds are split in the wrong direction
III cleaving, and valuable stones are thus
entirely lost. 1t is measure of skill on
the part of the lapidary to be able to tell
by close inspection of the rough stone
just how it will cleave. Pieces of dia-
monds which are broken off are ground
into powder with Il hammer, and the
dust is poured into an iron receptacle par
TALLY filled with OIL
An expert diamond cutter receives from
$40 to $25 week, but his work is so con-
filming and he is required to bend his body
so much that he is usually carried off at a
comparatively early age with consump-
tion.-Chicago Record.
