Paint Mill Is Landmark

The famous landmark in Boston,
known as the Boston Stone." Is an
old paint mill, which was imported
from England about the year 100
by a painter who had a little shop
on Marshall lane. 1t consists of q
round stone. about two feet in diam
eter, which was the grinder Of
muller" and stone beneath. The
stone was rolled back and forth in
the trough followed out in one side
of the larger stone underneath it and
thus ground the paint. 1t has the
words, Boston Stone, 1887" cut in
its side.

Tribe of Honey Hunters

There is a tribe of honey hunters
in Africa. The Wagindo men follow
the call of the honey bird because
it always knows where the bees
hoard may be found. When the ma
tive hears the birds note he drops
his spade, leaves his crops and with
only his spear and fire-stick sets
out to find the treasure Of wild
honey. He uses his fire-stick to light
a smouldering fire to smoke out
the bees, and then cuts down the
tree and gathers the hoard. He al
ways leaves grubs of the bees for
the bird guide. The Wagindo men
have their own hives. which they
set in the forest far from beaten
tracks, and so hidden that only the
owner himself can find them.

Nine. Cresswel was woman Of
infamous character who bequeathed
10 pounds for funeral sermon in

for she was born at Shadwell, mar
ried to Cresswell, lived at Clerken-

The Palamino is a horse whose

The Palamino is famed for its en-

jog or Spanish trot," which gives it
considerable ground-covering abili-

horse is for stock and show pur-
poses.-Literary Digest.

Parchment is usually made Of
sheepskin or lambskin. And vellum,
which most people think of as being
synonymous with parchment, differs

it been done on papyrus, it would

RiUer Dangers Revealed

Thanks for your editorial on
power boat operators who en-
danger the lives of those in
smaller boats. On land we have
traffic police, who at least are
supposed to look after wild auto
mobile drivers; but on the river
there isn't anything done about
relatively the same offense.
I have seen these speed
demons see just how close they
can come to a canoe or a row
boat without hitting it. They
never see to think that even if
they miss, their wake is liable
to capSize the smaller boat.
Similarly, I have seen these
speed boats get up to their
maximum speed while passing
through a small.boat anchor
age. This is a vicious thing and
highly dangerous to the boats
which are moored or anchored.
I hope that by calling their
attention to their lack Of
courtesy, you will be able to
curb the speed demons.

THERE ARE some places, just

tract romance, excitement and
the spotlight of a curious world.
Such a place is the castle Of
Wasserleonburg, the honeymoon

brated couple, the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor. 1t is a
lovely spot, this SchlosS, set in
a green valley Of shady glenS,
crystal cataracts, quaint towns
and sweeping views Of mighty
mountains, an ideal setting for
romance and dreams come true.
Castle Wasserleonburg is not
very far from the little town Of
Noetsch, whose half Slavonic,
half Teutonic inhabitants de.
rive their livelihood from the
nearby lead mines. They wear
the costumes and follow the
time.honored customs that have
characterized the inhabitants
of the region since ancient
times. The castle itself is
strategically situated between

Why the Suicides

It seems to me that we are
having an awful lot of suicides
in Washington lately. I don't
know much about the figures
but almost every paper you pick
up tells of one or two more.
Why the epidemic?
Is there any general cause or
are they all isolated cases?
Personally I believe they all
stem from the same root. Nerves

Day of Reckoning

WITH the city facing tax increase of about seven
w million dollars during the current year it is
natural to be bit Mortified at the request of the Board
of Education that its appropriation for the coming year
be increased by six million dollars
If the other agencies of the District government were
to request appropriations in proportion the taxes would
90 up and up until it became pro-
The YardStick hbitive to property or to live in
For Judor,ent the city.
But the mere fact that the city is
in a bad financial jam doesn't warrant cavalier dis
missal of the request of the board for funds.
The estimates of the educators for the fiscal year
1889 deserve consideration their merits and the
basis of the needs Of the community's educational
system.
Need should be the yardstick for judgment, not the
state of the city's treasury.
The almost terrifying increase sought by the Board
of Education is perfectly natural result Of the short
sighted policy which has been followed for years in
preparing the District appropriation bill.
That policy has been to simply stop spending.
And that policy has been interpreted by some
being sound economy
The estimates OF the DOdfQ demonstrate IQdI IL mas
not been economy but has simply been the means Of
postponing the day Of judgment.
We can't neglect our educational plant for years
and not expect it to creak.
We can't refuse to appropriate to meet expanding
needs period Of years without reaching point
where those needs must be met.
The Board of Education was given
Those Needs two million dollars this year for build
Must Be Met ngs and grounds after it had asked
about five and half million.
Naturally it finds it essential to ask again for that
money to buy the land and build the buildings in which
to educate our children
it doesn't get the money in the next appropriation
bill won't be economizing. We will only be adding
to the deficit of school accommodations.
The Board of Education isn't trying to get the tax
payers to waste their money
It is trying to get them to spend their money intelli
gently in order that their children may have proper
education.
