Interesting Jottings From Our Own Correspondent. Boston, Mass, March 17.--~ We write you this on the 17th of Ireland, and we hope you are well as'it leaves us at present. We were at the Touvaine this moming, and had a good look at Gen. Nelson A. Miles as he drove to South Bos from his for- away in his carriage ton. He looks bronzed, eign trip, and his eve has the same eagle glance 'as ever, and his vigor marks him every inch still able to cope with Indians. He has not been subservient to the powers that be, and so by the time limit of service, he soon retires.' In looking up our his tory, connected with this Evacuation day and St. Patrick, we have been that there never were anake in Ireland, and, that St. Patrick was a Scotch man. Evacuation day is not a public holiday and its celebration belongs to South Boston solely as Bunker Hill or the Boston Fourth of July is mon- opolized by Charlestown. We mean that the rest of Boston leave these two particular places to' do tHe hon- ors on both these particular occa- sions. Another surprise is that the monument erected on Bunker Hill, commemorates a victory over the British on Breed's Hill, which is half a mile away. The order was for the American army to émtrench, against but the general in command, deeming that Breed's Hill was more convenient, en- trenched there, and hence the contra. diction. Thirty-five Objibway (Canadian) In- dians) are performing the spectacular "Hiawatha" at the Mechanic's build ing. last week in honor of her. father. Miss Longfellow is about sixty year of age, and resides in the old home, at Cambridge, a suburb of Boston. The sale of tickets for grand opera began yesterday, and many Jove stayed in line over night in order to get desir- able seats. The prices are, $2, $3 and $5. The snows have disappeared from the hills, the rivers have risen and the high tides have driven thousands of niuskrats from their haunts on the Mystie river and many of them found their. way to Tuits Square. Numbers have been killed by electric cars and men and boys organized hunting par ties and got several hundred skins. The) Cambridge press, for thirty sev eh years a local newspaper, is now owned and conducted exclusively by women. There are women editors, and even small girls are employed to sell the paper on the streets. By the end of another year Boston will have the largest water supply in the world. The metropolitan water commission took the south branch of Nashua river, and by damming ite water will have the largest lake in the state. This is at Clinton, forty- six miles away. The area of water ghéds drained by this * water supply Li be 218 square miles, and the daily supply capacity will be one hundred and seventy-three millions gallons, or about twice that of the new Croton reservoir, near New York city. and more than four times. the capacity of all the existing Boston reservoirs com- bined. To prevent the pollution of the water in this artificial lake, the | ground has been stripped to am aver- age depth of one foot. This alone en- tails an expenditure of over three mil lion dollars and there is' a border of an average width of a hundred fect around' the dam. For the protection of the water this strip of land will be thickly planted with pine trees. As a shoreline of the reservoir will be over thirty-five miles in length great pro visions have been made for a supply of these pine trees, so three years ago the first plantings were made and there are now millions of little pines from an inch to a foot in height, which will be ready for transplanting by the time they are After the dam is completed it is estimated it will take two yelrs to fill it with water. The water is conducted from this reservoir by an aqueduct to the Sudbuty reservoir. The first fwo miles of said aqueduct is a tunnel through solid rock, them comes a masonry aqueduct seven miles long in an exca- vated trench. It is carried over a riv- er by a seven-arch masonry bridgey 360 feet long. This work will cost many millions, but being built of im- mense granite blocks, it will probably last for all time: Grass is looking almost as green as Ireland itself to-day, and already the upper-ten Bostonian is his goods | Fr tparatary to going to the them. on hand.

WORK AT HOME. How Women Are Swindled By Fake Offers. The wellknown desire of many wo- men for that can. done at home is largely taken advantage of by sharpers who, through alluring ad- vertisements loadin, with "One hundred ladies wanfed," hint at light, 4 leant, remunerative - and steady work," which can be done at home and will bring from $5 to $25 per woe The would- be applicant for an easy Way to make money is requested to eall or enclose ten cenfs in postage or cyrency for further. particulars, ete. The ten cents is enclosed and the ap- plicant forthwith. furnished a glowing gircular further dilating on the "gen tee: employment," which is to make ber fortune; but an 'outfit' must be procured or instructions'! must be given, and either the "company" will provide for $1 or $3 or some other specified sum. Thousands of poor women are thus swindled, in many cases literally out of their last dollgr, for it is needless to say that the ustless "outfit,"' once purchased or the equally useless "ins structions" once'given, they hear. no more from the enterprising company, Women, as a rule--and Joune women more especiallv--should be exceedingly careful how they answer in person or hv letter any of the plausible adver- tisements scattered among the want and other small advertisements in the daily. papers. Too often they are but cunningly laid traps for the money or the virtue of the unwary. Through innocence, rashness, or the desperation born of urgent need, thou sands of poor creatures are victimized but the rascally sdventurtrs. pods. wn their rogue rio be de ravi s and ed pos od in one place, © 1 grip of the law, serenely pocket their ill-gotten gains and, experienced in the eradulity of human nature--can begin their game again in new pastures and with new names and slightly varied programmes rejoice in the certainty of unabated success.

The present giant is also of the African species, and, if the measurements are rectly stated, he equals in size the huge mammoth of pre-historic times.
