GETTING BOARD IN BOSTON.
The Applicant Must Pass Most Rigid
Examination.

Until one has tried. the difficulties
of obtaining a boarding place in some
of the very beautiful, but conservative
suburbs Of Boston are not realized.
You can pass civil service eXamina-
ton OF obtain life insurance policy
more easily. A young Boston news
paper man, who had decided to eX-
change the eXcitements of the city for
the quiet simplicity of the country,
sailed forth bravely one day recently
but returned to town wondering If he
looked like a second-story burglar or
questioning he had received from sun
dry timid house holders. When he
started out he was well armed with
references of the most excellent char
acter, but when he returned he found
that he had been compelled to tell the
entire story of his life. and even then
the matter had not been settled. One
gray-bearded gentleman, living in a
beautiful oid-fashioned house not rar
from Roxbury, proved to be the prize
inquisitor of the lot. He placed the
applicant on the rack for an hour and
a half, firing questions at him with
Maxim-gun rapidity. When the late
III Hung Chang was in this country
he was noted for the strangely per-
sOnal questions he asked all the people
he met. The aged Roxbury gentleman
was able to beat Earl Ii at his own
game. He started out with queries
as to the applicants business, his age,
his family, the time he had lived in
Boston and whether he was likely to
be out nights. The old gentleman
wanted to know if the applicant had
any friends, and, if so, who were they.
The question, however. which appear
ed to be the most vital, was on the
matter of being out nights. The ap-
plicant finally, with tears in his eyes,
confessed that it was quite likely that
some nights he would be out until mid
night or later, at work. WALL, -

SURGICAL TRIUMPH.
New EyeIids Given to a Man Who Was
Manned in Fire.

new surgical triumph has been
achieved by a Philadelphia physician.
For probably the first time in the his
tory of ophthalmOlogical surgery Il new
set of eyelds have been successfully
supplied 10y skin grating.
DIR. Charles Monroe Thomas. home
opathic eye specialist performed the
operation. The patient lost both the up.
per and lower eyelids in burst OF
flame. The accident left both eyeballs
entirely unprotected and there was
grave danger of the patient losing his
sight.
The case was brought to the atten-
ton of DR. Thomas several months ago,
and he at once began the attempt to
graft four new eyelds. The skin used
for the grating was taken from the
hip of the patient.
1t was necessary to proceed slowly,
but the experiment was successful from
the start To-day the patient has four
new eyelids, which perform the normal
functions naturally.
The case has attracted widespread
interest among medical men. A lead
ing ophthamOlogist said that while eye
lid grating was not a new operation,
this was the first time. so far as his
knowledge went that an entire set had
been replaced successfully.
The chief danger in the loss Of the
eyelds, he said, lay in the fact that it
left the eyes unprotected The lips act
as broOms and keep the surface Of the
eye clear. Without them it would be
impossible to remove specks of dust or
any other foreign body that found its
way Into the eye This in time would
cause the loss of the Organ.-Philadel-

Food for Cattle.

In German sugar rehneries molasses
is being used in the preparation Of
food for cattle. 1t is first heated to
90 degrees and then introduced in q
steady stream into a mechanical mix
er. At the same time the forage With
which the mOlasses Is to be incorpO-
rated Is also introduced into the ma
chine. There issues from the mixture
a warm. moist. coarse-grained mass.
which Is left In pile for several hours
with certain precautions. In a short
time there is thus obtained a homo
geneous dry product that can be easily
transported and preserved. The mate
rails employed are of many kinds. In

The flying Of flags over the capitol

Indication that a Vice President, Sena-
tor or Representative is lying dead, or
that the action is taken in response to
presidential proclamation ordering
flags on public buildings at half-mast
in respect to the memory of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate or House of Representatives
learns of the death of member Of
either Of those bodies they at once or
der that the flags over the Senate
chamber and Hall of Representatives
be half -masted This is often done be-
for the houses of Congress themselves
are officially notified of the death. A
good deal of discretion is exercised in
the manner of placing the news of
death of this kind officially before the
Senate or the House. Upon such an
announcement it is customary for the
houses to adjourn in respect to the de-
ceased Senator or Representative, and
in order that current business may not
be stopped early in the day the an
nouncement Is generally made just be-
fore the houses are ready to conclude
their days work.
Officers of the Senate and House.
when they fly the flags at half-mast in

the power of the President to order
Congress to do anything except to as

have always responded to the requests
Of such prOclamatiOns. 1t would be a
nice question If one could imagine that
1t could ever be raised to know to
what extent the Presidents authority
would allow him to order flags at half
mast on the capitol. While his author
ity would not extend over the employ
es of the Senate and House, yet the
capitol for many years was in fact
controlled exclusively by him so far
as the care Of the building is con-
cerned, and the superintendent of the
building is to-day appointed by him
without confrmatory action on the
part Of the Senate.
AS matter of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct con-
troll of the committees on appropria-
tons Of the two houses Of Congress,

them by the failure of the President

AT first there seems to be nothing re-
markable about this old house at Rou-
en-, for to this day houses are built
with towers and cupolas. But here
we have complete three-story house,
containing several bedrooms, strad-
ding the ridge of a siXstory house OF
much greater age. Most of the old
French cities were laid out on very
narrow scale with high buildings
crowded together and separated by ex-
tremely narrow sterets. In spite OF
the extensive destruction of the older
parts of Paris in the last half century,
there are still on the left bank of the
Seine streets In which three men can
not walk abreast without brushing
against the walls Of the houses. In
the course Of time building sites in
these old cities became almost price
less-in fact, unattainable. The only
place where new houses could be put
was on top of the old ones. Nowadays
in similar conditions the roofs would
be raised or removed, and the old walls
carried up few stories; but this meth
cd did not seem to commend itself to
these old French builders, who prefer
red to plant the new construction on
the roof of the old one.

Written by Candidate for the High
School.


THE horse is noble animal. He
is the smartest animal of any animal
on earth. The horse is Il very pretty
animal and he is more beautiful than
a COW. | like a COW. but | like a horse
better. because he is more gentle and
you can ride him anywhere you nave
to go. The horse is also very care
full beast. because he is the only ami
NAL that wears shoes. The COW does
not wear shoes. the dog does not wear
shoes. the camel does not wear any
thing on his feet, and the horse is the
only beast that does not go barefooted.
The horses shoes are different from
the shoes of person, because he does
not take them off when he goes into
the house.
THE horse cannot talk like a person,
but he can come nearer to talking than
a giraffe, because the CRATES neck Is
SO long that his voice gets stuck on It's
way to his mouth.
"There are many kinds of horses.
There is the white horse. the black
horse the gray horse, the brown horse.
the race horse, the clothes horse, the
wood horse, the hobby horse, the night
horse, and there are many relations of
the horse, such as the horse pistol, the
Colts revolver, the nightmare, the
horseless carriage, and the horse rad
ish.
The horse is different from per-
son, because he has four feet and lie
can walk on all four feet at the same
time. The horse has four sides, near
side, an offside, topside and bottom
side.

Immune from Cold Feet.

An observer of the bird species has
concluded that birds are not troubled
with cold feet, and says: Il spent sew
eral afternoons this winter watching
the wild birds which are kept at the
New York geological gardens One
would expect them to show signs of
decided pleasure after one of the
thaws. The wild ducks did make
considerable fuss over the worms
and grass thus uncovered, and
they made use of the open water
in spite of its icy temperature.
Yet neither the ducks nor swans de-
serted the half-thawed ice around the
edges of the pond. although there was
any amount of ground which was ree
from snow. l have reached the con-
clusion that they do not know what it
means to have cold feet. for they stood
about on the ice as though they snjoy-
ed it."
