The Boston Baked Bean.

When the Pilgrim fathers first
landed on our coast their souls were
filed with unspeakable happiness at
the thought that they had at last land
ed where they could worship exactly
as they pleased, and kill any luckless
Indian or Quaker who might differ
with them. Ere the towns of Dedham
and Walpole, Rentham and Medford,
were twenty years old. the f~orefathers
found hat their own children we're be-
ginning to show signs of heresy. They
were too stupefed to say anything in
public or even to cOnfide their
thoughts to pen and paper. This is
why the records are silent on the sub
ject. But they held councils number
less and gave the subject an investiga-
ton alongside of which the micro
scopic search of a Pasteur is child's
play. After a long study they determ-
ined that the cause of heresy lay in
what they were pleased to term riot
Gus living" which is what we of to-
day would term good, wholesome diet.
Then again they took council among
themselves to frame a diet which would
act as a spiritual purifier. They soon
stumbled upon a combination almost
unknown up to that time, of white
beans, black molasses and streaked
salt pork. This had been the favOrite
diet of several distinguished Puritans
who had lived long lives of great
prObity and Quaker-harrying and had
Joined the great majority. Lest sus-
picion should be aroused, they pass
ed no law on the subject. but simply
set the inartiStic dish upon their fru,
gal board. Whenever they went to
some house where this commodity was
not served they asked for it, they beg
ged for il. and made life generally
miserable until it was served in proper
style. BY degrees the red clay flower
pot in which the Wand was cooked
was in every kitchen. The dish be-
came a fashion, a habit. and then an
all-cOnsuming vice. Finally it had
mastered the good people of New
England, and to-day it is found in
every part of the earth where the thrift
ty Yankee has found a habitation and
a name.-New York Mail and Express.

How to Make Good servants.

New York women, have great heads.
Here's how a lady who has to manage
a good many servants coaches them,
the story coming from her own lips:
whenever n society play comes to
town 1 engage ten seats in the balcony
and send my entire staff Of servants
to witness the performance. l do this
because 1 find that the servants in
these productions have far better
manners than any of the other actors
in the production, and l have found
that my servants learn mere by wit
Messing n of these performances
than l could teach them by moral sus
sion in the course of 4 month. If the
stage can solve the servant girl
problem it will be appreciated more
than eve .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

DR.. Fullerton in Possession.
GEO. +. CHAPPELL.
City Clerk .

DR.. J. NJ. Fullerton took possession
of four hundred acres of timbered
land in the swamp last Monday that
the Alt Land Company claims to own.
The ownership OF this land has been
in dispute for severrl years, but until
recently DR.. Fullerton. we understand,
has been in peaceable possession.
The Alt Land Company began a few
weeks ago to have the timber on the
land deadened and when DR.. Fullerton
learned this he took some hands down
on the land. erected a house and put
a NAL in possession. This of course
means a protracted law suit.
