Its inhabitants did not vote, and the tax collector left them severely alone. Matters grew worse till 1853, when John Morirssey, the famous pubilist, afterward serving in congress, fought weight championship of the world. There was a general melee over the result of this fight. Puritan Massachu- setts rose in indignation. The state | assembly had been considering the organization of a special police for Boston Corner, but in 1854 the knot | was cut by the legislature ceding some | 8,000 acres of lang, which included Bos- ton Corner, to the state of New York.

Anclents Knew About Mustard Mustard is one of the most ancient medicines. Pythagoras, who flour- {shed between five and six hundred years before Christ, mentions it. Hip- pocrates, who was born in 460 B. C., employed it. Pliny, the elder, writing in 77 A. D., describes three different kinds of mustard and says the seeds were imported to Italy from Egypt originally. The Romans used it as a stimulant after a cold bath; they mixed mustard ofl and olive oil in equal parts and used this as a liniment for stiffness of the muscles. They knew the vir- tues of mustard poultices and of mus- tard as an emetic. As a remedy for the stings of scorpions and serpents they pounded it, mixed it with vine- gar and applied it to the wound. They also made a drink out of it, fermenting the seed in a flery spirit. The liquor thus produced they called mustum ardens, which means burning wine. The word mustard is probably derived from this.
