At the head OF the ford are many little

These bays are filled with shipping. and
you may see goods loading and unloading

A HISTORIC SCHOOL.
IL Was Established at Dorchestsr.
Mass, In 1889.


The first public school in America to
be supported by direct taxation upon
the inhabitants OF a town" was estab-
Hshed at Dorchester, Mass, in May,
1899.
In 1886 David Thompson had settled
upon Thompson's island, of the coast
Of the colony town. and in 1888 he
gave the island to the town on the
payment of II pence yearly rental.
Having transferred the island to the
town, the town council met May 20,
1899, and adopted the following order:
1t is ordered the goth day of May, 1899,
that there shall be a rent of $50 a year
imposed forever on Thompson's island to
be paid by every person that hath prop
erty In said island. according TO the pro-
portion that any such person shall from
time to time enjoy and possess there. and
this toward the maintenance OF a school
In Dorchester. This rent OF R20 a year TO
be paid to such schoolmaster as shall un-
dertake to teach English. Latin and other
tongues. also writing. The said school
master to be chosen from time to time by
the freemen. and Il Is left to the discre-
tion of the elders and the seven men for
the time being whether maids shall be
taught with the boys or not. For the
levying OF this $50 yearly from the partic-
ular persons who ought to pay II accord
ing to this order II IL further ordered that
some man shall be appointed by the seven
men for the time being to receive this
and on refusal to levy II by distress and
not finding distress such person SO re-
fuseth payment shall forfeit the land he
hath in propriety In said island.
Here the first teacher was the Rev

Camera shows Twins to BE Unlike.
1T is a curiosity of photography that
two persons who look alike in the flesh
look entirely unlike in picture" said
photographer. II saw that peculiar
ity of the human countenance strange
ly exemplified in the case of two girls
whom I photographed a few weeks
ago. The girls were twins. Each was
the dead image of the other, and
felt positively uncanny when posing
them, for l expected the result TO be
two pictured faces startlingly alike
But they did not turn out so. The fea-
lures were the same, TO be sure. but
In the Photographic process the under
lying expression had been brought to
the fore and had given TO each girl
an individuality of her own which
diminished the resemblance wonder
fully.
II have noticed the same popularity
in other cases Of photographing dou-
bles. although never in so pronounced
a degree. In some faces expression
counts for much more than feature.
even in photography. and, although the
cheeks, nose and mouth may be cast
