Two hun dred and twenty-five years having passed away since his migration. his descendants and the American citi- zens of Boston were invited to this piOus work by their English brethren in order that the name of an illus trious man, the love and honor of both worlds, not any longer be banished from this noble temple in which he diligently, learnedly and sacredly ex- years; and they have willingly and gratuitously caused this shrine to be erected, in the year of our recovered salvation, 1855"
 Those who subscribed to the chapel 53 years ago have, almost all of them, descendants bearing the same names who are today living in and about Boston. These people it is, no doubt, who will gladly respond to the re Guest of the Frgi'sh mayor For the contributors then were, in the ma iority of cases either descendants of John Cotton, CT hu- bands of wives so descended.
 The good feeling between the two Bostons. which was cemented by these generous gifts toward the Cot ton chapel seems to date from the reopening of the church. two years earlier, for which occasion several Boston (U.

Snake Opal Lucky.

A snake opal must be an invalu. able possession. It is the lucky stone of tbe Mojave Indians, who say il frightens away lad luck The stone is not beautiful, but might appeal to those who like gems" that are different" It is said that the h. dians never allow these stones to leave the tribe if they can help it., and will not part with one for any consideration. Tradition has made the stone one of good omen, but that counts for little, as tradition is gen erally hooted at in the present day, and wherever it raises it's head other stones than snake opals are shied at 1t. Perhaps some superstitious bridge player, however, will try to get hold of a snake opal and try it's efficacy.
