JOHN ADAMS AND ABBY

tell one from the other. Yet this most
distinguished family in our national
biography lived in America one nun

into fame.
When the engagement was an

Mass, to the daughter of Parson
Smith of the adjoining town OF Wey-
mouth, people were shocked that Abby
should marry so beneath her station.
Was she not Quincy and Norton?
And John, the son Of small farmer,
was put down to fourteenth place

that he taught school in Worcester to

WOMEN ADVANCING.

The modern woman is making hel
way into the close corporations
known as the London city compa-
MES. A few days ago a woman
proved her right to admission into
the Spectacle Makers company, one
OF the few city companies that re-
quire their members to have passed
an examination.
Some Of the IL great companies
end the 60 minor companies were
founded by men and women inter
ested in the industries they repre-
sent and some received their char
tiers from queens, but nowadays it
is the exception for them to admit
women to membership. The Com
pany OF Turner's, whose craft dates
back to Roman times, has enrolled
one woman, master turner who did
important work in munition fac
tories.

sHRlkE NOT ALTOGETHER BAD
ture Of Much Service IN
the Summer Time.

The butcher bird, or northern
shrike, while not possessed of any
considerable speed, has speed enough
to outfy any of the smaller birds,
such as juncos and tree sparrows.
This hunter lives latest when the
last of the migrant armies are on
the move in the late autumn, when
he has an opportunity for cutting
off victims remote from cover and
pursuing them across the open fields,
mice especially being unprotected
by their snowy cover.
The shrike has rather melodious
whistle, which he lets go at time
that makes it seem somewhat out of
season. He has been credited with
using this as a decoy and camou-
fiage to his yillainy, and also with
mimicking smaller birds and invit-
ing them to their destruction.
Despite his name, however, the
butcher bird is not altogether an
arch villain, remarks writer. He
is very largely insectivorous during
the summer, and does good work
by destroying numbers Of mice and
giving radiance to the hateful Eng
fish sparrow when he comes around
the farm buildings during the win
ter.

The hard or sugar maple is by far
the most important Of all the naples.
The lumber is valuable for many pur-

While all the naples have sweet sap

Most people know that turpentine

not acquainted with the means by
which 1t is obtained.
Beneath the bark of the tree are

Hence, to procure the resin. the bark

The fluid is then distilled and the
