Why Some Persons Cling to ThInes

The attic instinct hangs on sur

tell how many years a person has

under her bed. If there are three
hat boxes one will contain letters,
one scraps of ribbons and laces-if

and one anything from broken
lock to old road maps. It, besides
these, there are bundles of maga-
zines and piles of newspapers, not

Chinese Worship ef Ancestors.

The one spiritual force that dom
mates every class of society in Chi
Ma is ancestor worship. In the Chi
nese religion there is no other that
can take its place for a moment. A
man may or may not worship idols.
He may express his utter skeptic-
ism about them OF profess belief in
them. No ore cares what lie
thinks. Let him, however, neglect
the Worship OF the dead and he i,
looked upon and pointed to with
the bitterest scorn both by his own
relations and by bis neighbors. The
worst taunr that the heathen can
hurl against the Christian, and the
one that stings him most, is the
sneering statement that he has no
ancestors.-Eew York Tribune.

4 CROOKED BOUNDARY.
Cause of the Peculiar Lines That Dl
vide Two States.

If you will look on the map OF
New England you will see two Gu
rious Irregularities in the dividing
line between Massachusetts and
Connecticut. One of them is II
Cranky township, a little north
west of Hartford, and the other in
Enfield township, on the Connect
cut river, south of Springfield. 1t
is q standing conundrum why, SO
long as the boundary is imaginary,
they did not make it straight in
stead of crooked. But thereby
hangs a tale.
Those two little jogs on the map
are monuments to human obstinacy
and to the persistency which is one
of the CHIEF traits of the Yankc2
character. The ancestors of the
farmers who own those little spots
of ground preferred to live in 1ias-
sachusetts rather than in Connect
cut and fought for their prefere C
until they had fheir way.
The controversy Gegan in 1713
and continued for = ears before
it was fnal'v decided I'm 1924 IL
question VA apr cd TO England,
but the government was so much
engrossed in the Seven Years war
that it was never brought to the at
tertion of the crown. Up to the
outbreak of the Revolution both
states continued to levy taxes and
send notices of fast days and cleo
tions to the farmers who occupied
the land, and there is no record of
how they avoided one or whether
they paid both. Later, however,
they voted and paid taxes in Massa-
chusetts only, Notwithstanding the
protest of the county authorities in
Connecticut In 1898, after peace
was restored, both states appointed
commissioners, but the dispute was
carried on until 1904, when q COM
promise was reached. There wero
several similar disputes between tie
two states besides those which now
appear upon the map, and an agrce-
nent was reached by which Massa-
chusetts consented to surrender her
claim to strip of territory in
Woodstock and Suffield townships,
provided Connecticut would yield
her claims to the other tracts in
dispute. No action, however, was
taken upon the report.
In 1910 the controversy was re-
vived by some legal proceeding, and
another commission was appointed,
but if it ever reached a conclusion
there is no record to be found. In
1920 a third commission was in
trusted with the settlement, and
after two years they decided upon
the present boundary line, which
was adopted by The legislature OF
both states.-Exchange.
