QUEER DOINGS IN BOSTON.
Of necessity.

n OsTON aspres to be calm and cool. Her
X culture tends to the suppression of the emo
- tons as the ckief end of education Bos-
tonian is proud that he can make love without feel
ing the slightest huter of his pulse, and meet an
enemy with desire to hit him. 1t has been believed
by the mass OF the American people that this pc
cuiarity of Boston culture is the result of the
sive eating of clams that the Boston blood has, in
fact, become clammy and that Bostonan aspirations
are no more than the inevitable effect OF diet def
cent in blood foods That opinion, however, is
erroneous. Boston seeks repose not because she is
naturally calm, but because her innate tendencies
and instincts toward the other thing. Her cul-
ture is designed to be restraint upon her too ardent
heart She initiates the clam in her education be-
in her natural impulses she tends to cavort like
the wild monkeys of Borneo.
proof Of the over-exctabi1ity of the average
Bostonan is furnished by events now occurring.
We learn from the press of the city that there re-
Gently arrived in Boston several Chicago evangests,
including 'the converted cowboy and the banker
pastor. OF the latter it is said He will do half
million dollars of business in day and preach to
large audience night, and have long altar crowd
ed with seekers to God for mercy in oldfashioned
manner. The other evangests were not far be-
hind the banker pastor in preaching if they did
not do the big business in dollars. Altogether it
to have been glittering constellation OF scn-
tiating specialists that turned loose their wild Chi
cago appeals to the ardent hearts of Boston, and the
results disastrous to culture
A Boston paper in describing the Of
the revival meetings says: Never before last night
has Park-street pulpit been desecrated Sabbath
by the sight of dancing together while three
or four capered about them, on the very plat
form ITSELF howling jumping, capping their hands
! in manner that would have turned even dancing
dervishes green with envy" Another paper of the
city, describing prayer meeting of the revivaists,
says: Mr.. Harvey danced about the platform hold
! ing above his head table and shouting at the top
of his lungs. Women were praying and weeping, and
the revivalists shouting defiance to what they
termed their enemies and the enemies of the Lord
That is the sort of thing that happens in Boston
when you knock the culture off and appeal to the
native instinct Boston, in fact represses herself too
much If she would let cut her caper in nat
ural way at all of the year she would not
get so excited when Chicago comes to town.
When Chicago oratory is heard in San Francisco we
deem it rather mild but in Boston it gives rise to
! Mysteries That is the difference between people
who live naturally and those who live in the Bos-
tonian manner, and /, is to be hoped Boston will
try to get closer to San Francisco ard Natures
heart.

TOBACCO FOR THE BOYS.

~ ONGRESSMAN OTEY of Virginia has in
troduced into the House of Representatives
- bill providing that the Government
shall issue to the enlisted men of the army and
the navy a weekly ration of tobacco. Despite the
evident intention of the statesman to make little
demand for the products of his district the bill has
received commentator, wherever it has been noted
at all 1t merits all that has been said for it, The
boys of the army and the navy should have their to-
bacco, and it will not cost the Government much
to give it to them.
Despite the abuse that is sometimes made of to-
bacco, its value to men who have to undergo duties
like those of soldiers and sailors has been fully
proven by experience to be successfully denied To
the tired man. to the hungry man, it brings COM
fort and soace 1t enables to bear with patience
the lack OF food, the roughness of life the sea and

OF similar ways in other parts of the country where
there broad waters to be crossed and where the
crossing is not feasible by suspension bridge or the

may eventually become more matter of choice than
of necessity.

The sort of duties that harass a Mayor of Boston
may be inferred from the recent announcement of
Mayor-eect Collins that when he enters office he will
attend no balls or parties he would have attended
had he remained in private life, and that his dancing
days are over. 1t would seem the Bostonians expect
their Mayor to be more sociable than good for him.

The Composite Burden Every Citizen

merate the number of things he is
forced TO carry around with him. He
is beast of burden and is heavily
laden. We will take him from the
skin out, and analyze the superficial
ties which hang about him, and which
are necessary at this time in the his
tory of civilization in order TO give
him polite standing in the commu-
nifty in which he lives, and in order to
make him comfortable. One is almost
inclined to shrink away from the fear
full responsibility of carrying such a
load, and yet one must do it if he is
happy.
First, are the two articles which

We find pulled up around his shins
and ankles two socks. He wears two
shoes, unless he was in the war, and
to strings are needed to lace them,
or twelve buttons or more, if they are

shirt, one collar and two cuffs. He
wears one coat, one vest, and one
pair of trousers, and there are twelve
buttons on his trousers, six generally
on his coat, and six on his vest. He
carries two cuff buttons around with
him, two collar buttons, three shirt
buttons, two sleeve buttons and vari-

things in the clothes he wears. There
is straw in his hat There is starch

and pewter and other metals in the
watch and chain he wears: there is
brass and bone in some of his buttons.
There is tin in his garter campers

cravat in place There is glass over
the face of his watch. Dye is used in
staining his clothes, and one may find
here all the colors-red, white. blue,
black, purple, yellow, brown and al

found in the figures on the face of his

Notable Women.

The Dowager Queen Marguerite, OF
Italy, is a skillful mountaineer and
has firm head and steady foot when
treading the Businesses of her native
country. Clad in the picturesque
peasant dress, with short skirt, she is
never so happy as when roaming about
her beloved mountains or ascending
some height.
ltaly's present queen, Helene, is also
skillful mountaineer, for as a girl
she was accustomed to scale the
mountains of MONTENEGRO with her
father and brothers in pursuit of
game, so that she adds love of sport
to her love for the mountains. Queen
Helene is very active, and when noun
taineering or shooting with her hus-
band she wears the most practical of
gowns, and looks most workmanlike.
Queen Alexandra is greatly interest
ed in the Danish exhibition which
will be held in London during the
coronation year. One of the most en-
Joyable features will be the section
which will be devoted to relics Of her
early life in Denmark. Her dolls, her
little frocks, shoes, books and NINA
lures of her girlhood, together with
many other interesting mementoes.
Will be shown. The manufacture of
gloves, fancy wooden, tapestry and the
royal pottery of Copenhagen will be
represented. There will be. too an
agricultural exhibit showing Danish
methods of making butter and testing
eggs.

Jail Stephens was head and front of
the Fenian movement He was born
in Kilkenny n years ago and passed
through an eventful career. He in,
! tended 20 study for the priesthood,
but the martial spirit fired his blood,
and he joined in the rising of 1S4S
under Smith O'Brien. Afterward he
worked slowly but surely TO weld the
| Irish people together into what finally
became the Fenian brotherhood. He
was arrested in 1865, but made his
celebrated escape from prison, and
| after remaining some time in Ireland
| in disguise he came to this country
and afterward drifted to france. He
returned to Dublin in 1891 and lived
there until his death.
One of the most exciting and mem
orable events in Stephens career was
his expulsion from France in 1885.
Together with Eugene Davis and Nor
timer lie Roy he was arrested, pre-
sumably at the instigation of the Brit

named Daniel Byrne, a Fenian sympa-
thizer. was night warden in the pri
son. 1t also happened that another
Fenian sympathizer named John Bres-
lin was steward in the prison hospi-
tai. Byrne was the custodian of the
keys to the cells for a certain period
every night. It was arranged that
an impression of the key to Stephens
cell and to- the main door of the pri-
son should be taken i'm wax and car
ried to Captain Kirwin by Breslin
From the impression thus made keys
were made by a Fenian locksmith,
carried back by Breslin to Byrne who
about 2 o'clock in the morning of Fri
day, Nov "a. 1865. unlocked Stephens
cell and conducted him to the inner
wall of the prison. The night was
favorable for an escape. as the rain
poured own in torrents. Stephens
reached the top of the wall by means
of a ladder, lowered himself down to
the ground and pulled himself over
the outer wall by means of rope
which was thrown to him by Colonel
Thos. ]. Kelly and companion who
were waiting outside.
