There are two qualities which we
might say are almost inherent in farm
homes, at least they are always ex-
pected-hospitality and informal COM
fort. There are some other qualities,
perhaps not so good, which have been
associated with farm homes for many
years but which, happily, are gradually
losing ground They are poor water
supply and bathing facilities, lighting
and heating. Thanks to inventive
genius and American progressivism,
running water is now the regular
thing and many farm homes boast of
electric lighting and heating plants.

Boston,s First Health officer.

The first health commissioner of
Boston was no less person than Paul
Revere. This may surprise many per.
sons who consider the midnight ride
Revere's one claim TO fame-apart,
that is, from an interesting and rather
quaint craftsmanship in gold and
silver.
He was a versatile man, however,
and study of his life will reveal
many varied activities in which he in
terested himself. For instance, an adj
vertisement printed in 17eS shows him
to have at least dabbled in dentistry.
He was young man at that time and
was inst beginning to make his repu-
tation as an engraver, though still fol-
lowing the trade Of goldsmith.
