in Virginia. and the toilers and righteous men of the aristocracy soon formed a powerful republican party that threatened ere long to fill the House of Burgesses with men of their creed. Berkeley, having a pliant majority of the cavalier class in the Assembly, sanctioned unjust and arbitrary decrees of the King, who gave to profligate court favorites, first large tracts of land, some of it cultivated, in Virginia: and, finally, in 1673, he gave to two of them (Lord Culpepper and Earl of Arlington) all the dominion of land and water called Virginia for thirty years. The best men in the colony of both parties, alarmed by this proceeding. sent a committee with a remonstrance to the King, but the mission was fruitless. The republicans were very indignant. Rebellious murmurs were heard everywhere in the colony: and the toiling people were taught to regard the aristocracy as their enemies. and so the majority of them were. Having a majority in the legislatlure of the colony, they

Baker, remember, A captain of Green Mountain boys (q. v.); born in Woodbury, Conn., about 1740. He went to the New Hampshire Grants in 1764, before the Allens took up their abode there. He was a soldier in the French and Indian War, and was in the fierce battle at Ticonderoga in 1758. He settled at Arlington, on the Grants, and was very active with Ethan Allen in resisting the claims of New York to Vermont territory. Baker was arrested, and was cruelly treated while a prisoner, by the New-Yorkers. The government of that province had outlawed him and set a price upon his head. Captain Baker was with Allen when he took Ticonderoga, in May, 1775. He was killed, while on a scout in the Continental service, by the Indians on the Sorel, the outlet of Lake Champlain, in August, 1775.

Culpeper, Thomas, Lord 1673-1719 Colonial governor; born in England. In 1673 King Charles gave to two of his profligate courtiers, Lord Culpeper and the Earl of Arlington, all the domain of land and water called Virginia for thirty years. A commission was given to Culpeper as governor for life, to take effect whenever Berkeley should vacate the office. He purchased the interest of Arlington in the royal grant. Preferring to engage in the profligate enjoyments of London and a court life,Arlington in the royal grant. Preferring to engage in the profligate enjoyments of London and a court life, he did not go to Virginia until 1680, or three years after Berkeley had left the province. His profligacy and rapacity there disgusted the people, and discontent ripened into open insurrection. By the King's order, the governor caused several of the insurgents, who were men of influence, to be hanged. A reign of terror, miscalled tranquillity, followed. At length the King himself became incensed against Culpeper, revoked his grant in 1684, and deprived him of office. He died in England

tate has yet so successfully solved the problem of juvenile pauperism that, out of a population of 2,500,000, it has only 2,852 wards to support. The State has a nursery at Roxbury, where destitute infants are cared for while requiring medical or surgical treatment, and where children boarded out are brought for treatment when necessary. The nursery is a temporary home only in the strictest sense of the word, boardingout being the end in view. There is also a temporary boarding-place at Arlington, and a home for wayward boys. The State has two industrial schools, the Lyman School for Boys, and the State Industrial School for Girls. There are also two reform schools. With these exceptions, the dependent children of Massachusetts are placed or boarded out. In 1889 California paid $231,215 for the support of 36,000 children in asylums, while Michigan, with double the population of California, paid only $35,000 for the support of 230 children. In 1893, California, still working

of light upon the vegetation is strange and interesting to those experimenting with the electric light. It is doubted by many whether the arc light can be made as efficacious as the electric current supplied through wires to the soil. Lemstrom obtained his most wonderful results by this latter method, and the plants were injured less by it than many that have been subjected to the electric lights. In 1892 it was reported that a market gardener named Rawson, living in the town of Arlington, Mass., had used the electric lights to profitable advantage. His attention was called to the effect of electric light upon plants in 1889, when the town of Arlington began to light the streets with electricity. One of the powerful lights was located near his garden so that its rays fell directly upon a bed of flowers. These plants, situated within the circuit of the light, immediately began to grow rapidly and vigorously, outstripping all others in the garden. Satisfying himself that the
