WHEN BOSTON SHOOK.
An Earthquake That Rocked the City
November, 1755.

November, 1755.
On November IS, 1755 "a little after
on a serene and pleasant night"
Boston was reused by an earthquake
which lasted nearly five minutes. A
writer, of the times gives an account
of the catastrophe, and Rev. Henry
White quotes 1t in his early History
of New England"
One hundred chimneys were leveled
to the roofs of the houses and fifteen
hundred were shattered in part. The
streets were covered with bricks which
had fallen. The ends of brick houses
were thrown down.
1t was first introduced with q noise
like several coaches rafting over pave
ments, or rather like many cart loads
of paving stones thrown down. The
first motion was a strong pulsation,
which threw my house upward. I'M
mediately after tremor succeeded;
then instantly a quick vibration with
sudden jerks followed.
The first view 1 had was Of the
steeples of the churches, and 1 was
glad to see them standing, but the
spindle and vane of Faneuil Hall
market were thrown down.
Many persons ran into the streets,
shrieking with apprehension of its be-
ing the last day or the judgment, and
some thought they heard the last
trumpet sounding and cried for mercy.
The beast creatures lowed, the birds
futtered in surprise, and all the ami
NAL creation was filed with terror.
Every face looked CHASTITY, and many
knees smote together. Never was such
scene of disaster in New England be-
fore

loved in return. They did not sing like
Ii bird nor below like a frog, but they
were supposed to have musical ears for
all that. In his earnestness the man
got hold of the widows hand. 1t was
only his way. If he had got hold of
her ear it would have been the same.
He had called her his dear woman and
his dear child half a dozen times, and
in his lecture he had got as far back
as the turtles markings when Hiram
Stebbins could restrain himself no Ion
ger. He saw red. He thirsted for
gore. He rose up to do murder, but
checked his onslaught and walked soft
ly into the sitting room. The window
was up and the bee box before him.
while the backs of the sitters were to-
ward him. He isted the cover and
stepped back.
The dozen bundles had been hopping
mad and calling each other names for
the two days. The cover was no soon
er off than they swarmed to get room
to square Off AS they caught sight of
the professor and the widow, however,
the Ratchet was instantly buried.
There was a wild swoop followed by
wilder yells. Old seven spot led in the
fray. He it was who lifted the pro-
fessor over the veranda rail and let
him drop among the hollyhocks while
the rest were paying the widow atten-
lions. The professor ran and was fol-
lowed, the widow shrieked and was
stung again and again. 1t was not IN
til Hiram rushed out with smoke and
fame that she was rescued and a
neighbor woman sent for to treat the
Jumps and bumps and put her to bed.
The professor returned not. Old seven
spot wouldn't let him. No news came
from him as the hours of night wore
on, and Hiram wondered, but next
morning the widow received a note
reading:
my dear child, please send my
satchel by bearer I'm off after more
bones. The turtle, as 1 meant to have
told you, is utterly without ambition"
WAL" said Hiram to himself as he
worked in the cornfeld that day, there
was the professor and me and the wild
der and the whale and the bumblebees.

Miraculous Cures.

Reginald of Durham, who wrote a

E{icn emo and Fools.

Never eat game high said an anti
CUary. People will tell you that high
game is tenderer. What rot! OF
course it is tenderer, but would you
want your steak or your chop spoiled
in order that it might be a little softer
to the teeth? No, never! Highness in
game is an anachronism, relic of the
past. relic of the days of stage
coaches. In those days it was impos-
sible to deliver game to The cities fresh
transit was too slow All game was
high, and men ate it high because 9th
erwise they couldn't eat it at all;
hence to eat game high nowadays,
when there IS no necessity for it, ia to
be fool.'--Cincirnati Enquirer

The Koran,

The Koran, or Al Koran, the sacred
book Of the Mohammedans, was writ
ten about 610 A. D. by Mohammed. 1t

false; second, energy, which is used to
fight against the evils of the flesh;
third, parity; fourth, patience; fifth,
charity Il. e., loving kindness); sixth,

When Life Is Wasted.

Life is wasted every time one gives
away to gloomy, selfish angry or re-
vengeful thoughts; when resentment
or grudge against man or fate is al
lowed to find root in the heart; when
the temper is let fly loose over trif1e;
when one goes to pieces nervously
when obliged to repeat remark and
the voice is allowed to rise in anger;
when one forgets that loose temper
Is a sign of vulgarity and lack of cul-
Press.

The "Pu,i" ara t.1s JOS.

Business men are constantly being
pestered by young men who seek posi-
tons through letters of recommends
ton, often in the form of personal re-
quests from fellow business men. One
may well question whether these let
ters have any great pulling" power
after all. The Saturday Evening Post
tells of such an instance After being
very politely dismissed by several
managers with the stereotyped express
sion that there was not a vacancy at
present. the young man tore up the let
tiers and went back to the place last
visited.
what can do for you now?" the
manager asked in an annoyed tone.
Pardon me-" said the young man,
"but I've just torn up those letters.
Could you give me job ON my own
hook?"
The manager looked amused and
said: eve need young fellow to chip
castings in the machine shop at Sc
week. If you like, you can have that
until something better turns up"

FALL DOWN

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Jockey Miller
was this afternoon fined 5000 and set
down for a week by the stewards be-
cause of foul committed in the last
race. Miller had been defeated In
five straight races, and he was more
than anxious to get winner home in
front. His hackers had been stung for
at least 100000.
In the final race Miller held tina
mount of Brother Thomas, who was
backed from to l to to 5. Dan
Burne won by length from Brother
Thomas. A claim of foul was made
against Miller, and the stewards dis
qualified Brother Thomas, placing
Bright Boy second and Ambush third.
At the paddock turn there was some
crowding and VIII Do and Helen Por-
ter fell, throwing their riders and w.
Doyle seemed to be much hurt. The.
stewards called Miller to the stand
and fined him and set him down.
The first knockdown for the Miller
ties came in the first race, when Mil
Ter, on Robin Hood, was outridden I'm
Little Walsh. Then came Masaniel-
los race with Miller riding. Little
Sumter, on Telling, gave Miller his
second dose of defeat in this race.

among the promoters in the lowe city,
