Origin of the snOwdrOp.

An old legend gives the following rs
the origin of the snowdrop: After Adam
and Eve had been driven from the gar
den Of Eden Eve was disconsolate. One
day as she sat silently grieving an an
gel appeared and sought means TO COM
fort her. She longed for the flowers,
but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth In robe Of
white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words
Of hope to the weeping. repentant wo-
man he caught a snowflake. breathed
gently upon 1t and said:
''Take form. pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be comfort to humanity
now and forever"
In twinkling the snowdrop changed
into q beautiful flower. as white and
pure as the snow itself, and when Eve
beheld the new born blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart. and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission Of love,
the angel departed. but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle of perfect snowdrops.

Boston Boys Demand Their Rights.

Boston Boys Demand Their Rights.
The spirit Of liberty that prevailed In
Boston at the time of the Revolution
was not confined to the men who could
carry muskets. Even the children were
ready to stand up for their rights as
Americans. An incident that took place
In the winter before the battle Of Lex
ington was fought shows this. The
boys Of Boston had been much troubled
by the British soldiers who were then
on garrison duty in the town. These
soldiers took great delight in destroy
ing the coasting places which the boys
had prepared. At last the boys held n
meeting and appointed committee TO
wait upon General Gage, then in COM
mand, and to make protest.
The committee was admitted to Cen
eral Cages headquarters, and in reply
TO the generals question as to what
they wanted the leader replied:
"Sir, we are here to demand our
rights"

said. go. and II my soldiers trouble

Henceforth the boys of Boston en-

the two roc ms in the Lincoln school
to the high school for laboratory pur-
poses and the consequent opening of
two rooms in the Horace Mann school
making it necessary to change the

Lincoln and Eugene Field schools.
The term opens next Monday and the
allotment to the several schools is as
follows:
