BOSTON'S OLD STATE HOUSE
Famous Building, Restored by Patri-
lotto Society, Is Now Preserved as
a Revolutionary Relic.

The old State house in Boston was
erected in 1743. In early days the
first floor was used as the Merchants
exchange, and the second story as the
meeting place of the governors of the
province and the royal council. A few
feet from the eastern porch occurred
the Boston massacre on March 3, 1176;
in 1889 Washington reviewed from
this building a procession in his honor,
and in 1885 William Lloyd Garrison
took refuge there to escape from the
mob that had broken up an antl-siaV-
ery meeting and threatened his life.
In later years the building was turned
into business offices and was so much
altered inside and outside, as almost
to destroy the original architectural
effect. In 1881 it was restored by the
CITY at the request of the public-spir-
tied citizens, and is now in the custody
of the Bostonian society, which occu-
MES if. The rooms, including the old
council chamber and hall of represent
atives contain a collection of relics
and paintings of revolutionary times.

Famous Roman Woman.

It has been said by cynic that
never can woman be the friend OF
woman. But she can be the friend or
man, and absolutely disassOciated
from sex affinity. Paula, noble Ro-
man lady, was the devoted life friend
and helper of the great Jerome-St.
Jerome. She was descended from the
Scipios and the Gracchi. She was
born A. d. 347 at Rome. Married at
seventeen to Textius, she lived in
splendor on Mount Aventine. Upon
her conversion to Christianity she
gave half her fortune to the poor and
began the ascetic life. She came I'M
der the influence of the great Jerome,
and the intercourse of these two minds
was continued when Jerome went to
the East to live in cave at Bethie-
hem and to put forth his mighty lit
erary works. Paula, with her friends
followed his footsteps, built convent
near the cave, and ministered to the
saint amid his stupendous accomplish
ments She died in her convent; her
ewes were closed by st. Jerome. The
poor of Palestine rose up to call her
blessed.
