Gladstone in 1885 raised it to $40. the

1t is quite probable. therefore. that,
should the much-discussed manhood

this country, It will not add a single
member to the distinguished gathering

fact. will 1t add to the electorate itself
as large proportion as has been added

IAda of Fruft Jara-

The lids Of fruit jars taken from the
top shelf Of the kitchen closet, where
they may have lain long In retirement,
should be sterilized before using. Put
them into cold water and bring the
water to the boiling point: take them
out one by one with a clean skinner
and slip each upon Its jar. They should
not be handled with the fingers except
to screw quickly into place. nor should
they be left on the table nor wiped
with towels that have been hanging in
the kitchen. Any Of these acts make
the sterilizing process useless, as germs
may be picked up in this way after it
has been accomplished.

I'm thelplan for building Il new house
for the President elsewhere than on the
present aite 1t has been proposed to
utilize the present mansion for offices" +"
writes Col. Theodore A. Bingham. u.
8. A, in urging the adoption of Mrs.
Harrison's plans for enlargfng the
house, in the Ladies' Home Journal.
"One plea therefor has been that the
historic building should be left as 1t is.
This Is certainly to be insisted on. But
IL Is said the mansion is too pure a
piece of architecture to be marred by
additions. This, however, is a specious
argument. since the original design con
templated nde additions. and If the
building in its present state were used
as Offices It would be wrecked In five
or six year, Those who have no ex-
perience With public buildings or with
this building in particular, have no con-
cention of The wear and tear on Presi-
dents Office. It surpasses that on any
other Office u the country. The present
executive Nansion was lightly built.
and ia already expensive to keep In
proper repair. Its floor beams are not
strong enough to endure office use.
Great difficulty has arisen in the past
with the few rooms now used as the
Presidents executive offices, and great
watchfulness has to be constantly ex-
erc;sad Several times the floors have
threatened to break through. The stairs
have already broken down. one flight
hodnq now supported by chain. Still.
to remodel for office use only, the whole
interior of our historic Executive Man
a,on would be not only a very expen-
IT,. matter. but would fail to meet the
reouirements Of the case, and also. it is

In 1744, about the beginning Of Jona-
than Edwards trouble in the parish, it
was voted not ito pay the charge Of
bringing his daughters from Brook
field" In 1913 this appears on the town
records: Taking into consideration the
difficulty MI. Edwards hath labored
under this year and some time past
with respect to his nrewood. the town
voted that those persons who have not
this year brought him a load Of wood
might have liberty between this time and
next Tuesday night to bring each one his
load Of wood" II there was not suf-
ficiency of wood by that time. the town
then voted, the selectmen shall see that
the deficiency should be met at the cost
Of the town.
Later, in 1873, we fnd in the warrant
for town meeting this entry: ITO pro-
cure firewood for Rev. Mr.. Williams. to
choose a committee to seat the meeting

broad aisles: The .'.nigger pew well

trouble to said officer, as that was read

like cows in the stable, who went dut1
fully to their separate stalls.
Not only the living had special rules
governing their conduct, but the rules
about the dead were very quaint, as by
this report of a committee. May IL,
17SO. to whom had been referred the
conduct of funerals. as follows: -.
Whereas, It is the opinion Of this
town that funerals ought to be con-
Quoted with great decency and decorum
in order to impress on rising and risen
generations the importance of the
awful solemnty, and to render the
house Of mourning better than the
house Of feastin9. Be it therefore rec
commended to all the Inhabitants of this
town to observe the following regula-
tion6 At funerals:
/. That the relatives Of the deceased
follow next the corpse, two and two.
2. II the deceased was a male per-
SON the males are to follow next the
mourners, two and two,. and the wom-
en- after them, two and two; but II the
deceased was q woman. then the wom-
en- are to follow next the mourners and
the men after them.
3. Those on horseback are to follow
in after the foot folks, ho-es two and
two. and the carriages are to follow in
the rear Of the procession. And 1t Is
requested that no person walk or ride
on either side the procession from the
house to the grave.
Ten Of the prominent men Of the city
were appointed and requested to attend
at funerals and to regulate the process
sion thus recommended until the same
shall become habitual to the people. In
1745 the question was raised in the an
nual town meeting III the town would
be at the expense Of coloring the meet
ing house. and 1t passed In the mega
tivew Evidently they thought that
nature would do 1t without expense.
Not till 1749 were the forts and fortif-
cations Of the town demolished and the
timber and boards sold for the benefit
OF the town. Laws were passed rsla-
tive to the schooling Of boys and tie
amount Of wood they should bring to
the schoolhouse: girls were Of no &C
count in those days.
