CROOKED, BUT FAMOUS.
Washington Street, Boston, One of the
Worlds Great Thorouehfares.

Washington street in Boston is one
OF the great thoroughfares OF Amer
lea, worthy TO rank with Broadway in
New York and Michigan avenue in
Chicago. Like nearly everything else
in Boston. 1t has a history OF almost
incredible length and respectability,
making other streets seem painfully
young and callow and crude.
Moreover, Washington street is one
of the longest in the world, running
all the way through Boston and on to
another town without stop or a break.
This is not accomplished without many
a bend and meander, however, for
Washington street is amazingly crook
ed, as are nearly all the thoroughfares
of Puritan origin. 1t seems that the
Mayflower party did not realize how
big Boston was going to be, and so
they carelessly let the cows lay out
the streets as they wandered home-
ward.
Washington street today does not
look like an aristocrat of ancient lin-
cage, however. On the contrary, it APP
pears decidedly democratic, swarming
with all sorts of people who jostle
and push each other on the narrow,
overfowing sidewalks in the brilliant
glare of numerous electric signs that
fash the rival merits of moving pic
ture shows, bars and cafes.-Exchange.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 12-Decent

reasons why employees OF the Le-
high Star Bedding company are
now on strike. Other demands in
clude wage increase of 90 per
cent for piece workers and 15 per
cent for day workers. The strik-
ers say they are forced to work
long hours under a speeding up
system. In answer to the high
wage" claim of the company il is
stated that one employe was paid
$25 for a week of 70 hours. In a
statement issued to the public, the
strikers say:
1--WE are prepared to prove an
official of the company tried to in
cite violence early in the strike in
order to discredit the workers"

Tenant Farming Increases.

Colu nbus, Ohio, Jan. II. -Ad-
vance of teuantry Of farms IN Ohio
and other states in the central val
ley. was termed disastrous" by
professor Vogt, department Of rural
economies, Ohio State University,
in an address on The Land Prob
lens and Rural Welfare.
The steady, even though not
rapid, increase in tenantry, he said,
particularly in those sections where
land values are highest, indicates
the approach ot problems most seri
Gus for those who will in future ac-
tually live on the farms.
The rise in land values can
mean only that ultimately the STARE
of the income going to the landlord
will increase through rising rents,
or will become a permanent burden
on the land through the price paid
for ii by the purchaser"
The speaker said the policy Of
p'auning tenant houses was the
perpetu 4tion of a fundamentally
bad condition.
The letter policy, he said,
would be to spend the energies Of
public agencies in removing the
causes that have made the appear
ance Of tenant class in America
possible.

Mobiles and Peasants.
Contrary to the laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden, in Russia when a
lady belonging TO titled family mar
ries a Russian gentleman without a
title she takes her husbands ) name en-
tlrely, and the only right left to her of
her former title is to write on her visit
ing cards and official papers Mrs So
and-so born Princess, Countess or Bar
oness So-and-so' Her children are
called by their fathers name. There
are only few exceptions to this rule
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only mobiles and
peasants. The ear, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled a noblcman and also for
the same reason the titles of count and
baron and occasionally that of prince
All those merchants who have kept
their firms always nourishing for a
hundred years have the right 70 receive
the foreign title of baron This law

The Man Killers, Their Cheerful Talk
and Fitting Fate.
One of the oldest purely social clubs
was the Everlasting club, limited in
membership to a hundred people, who
divided the day among them in such a
way that some of them were always
on the premises Solely for the pur-
pose of keeping up the fire from which
members lighted their pipes an old
woman was kept, and during the fifty
years of existence the club members
smoked fifty tons of tobacco
No one who had not killed an op-
ponent in a duel was allowed to be
a member of the Man killing club,
where the conversation was confined
to wounds, bullets and slaughter Curl
ously enough, most of the members
were executed.
Very different in character was the
Six O'Clock club, whose members, num-
bering six only, met at g in the even
ing and separated at 6 in the morning
Meeting early in the evening and
sitting smoking until midnight. the
curious people forming the Humdrum
club observed the strictest silence.
But perhaps the most curious club
of all was the No Nose club, which
was founded by an unwilling follower
of the Egyptian fashion of fiat faces.

Persia,s Great sunerstitinn.

The greatest superstition in Persia is
what is known as the evil eye" You
must not say to some one whom you
meet, "How well you are lookingr' for
If you do and that person is taken i'll
1t will be because you gave him the
evil eye. You must not say to a moth
er, "What a pretty baby What a
bright child" for if you do and any
thing unfortunate happens to the child
you will be considered responsible.
Many mothers let the children go dirty
and poorly clothed in order that they
may not attract favorable attention.
The sign which is thought to have some
power to avert the evil eye consists in
holding the second and third fingers Of
both hands close to the palms with the
thumbs, while the other fingers are ex-
tended straight out. Then, with the
hands behind you, you make a down
