Memories of Paul Revere were re-
yived a few days ago when worSmen
uncovered the old well in the rear OF
the Paul Revere house in the North
end.
The well, which was located close 10
the back wall OF the old house, is in
a state of excellent preservation. The
old, rough hewn planks used in en-
casing il are still practically intact.
The well measures about four feet six
inches in diameter, but just what its
exact depth may be cannot ascertained
until it has been completely cleaned
out, for the cavity was entirely filled
in.
Since workmen have been preparing
the old house for museum purposes

been made. Several pieces Of old
Lowestoft china were found recently,
including a part of a cup and part
Of saucer. In addition many other
pieces of china OF curious designs and

While digging in the cellar the
workmen found an old half-dollar OF
an early design and a copper cent dat

the work will have to cease
If the ianitors of apartment build
ings in Boston and vicinity are pro-
gressive (and they have never been re-
garded as guiltless Of the charge), ten
ants may expect to receive in the near
future notices TO the effect that onions
and cabbages are taboOed. But little
longer will the lovers of onions or cab
bage be permitted to indulge their ap-
petites If they are numbered among
the great army of apartment house
dwellers.
From Dess sMones, Iowa, is flashed
the news that the janitors there have
set their feet down hard and refused
to remain in their positions if their
aesthetic noses are hereafter to be Of
Tended by the scent of cabbage and
onions
New York janitors are said TO be

of the wild and wooly West. So, as

According to ianitors who were in
