The White Rose was represented by MISS
ANNA WINSTON, who spoke as follows;

ANNA WINsLow, who spoke as follows:
Lady fair II bring to thee,
friendships firing proud and free,
Ills flower, q simple thing,
Gathered from the breast OF spring,
Bathed in evenings odorous dew,
Tho it wears no painted hue;
Blushing not in colors BRIGHT
But all pure and stainless white,
Like flower from heaven thrown,
Surely 1t is beauty's own.
While its fragrance fills the air,
Breathing DER thy forehead fair,
Listen to the tale tell;
One of truth know full well
All acknowledge beauty's power,
have called this beauty's flower,
And have gathered 1t for thee,
That thine emblem it might be.
1t Is fair In form and leaf,
Yet such loneliness is brief.
Soon with all its tender leaves,
Be the sport of every breeze;
But when even in dust they lie
Their rich fragrance will not die
That thou, like this rose, may'st be,
Is the dover ask for thee.

future for parents to be sending their daughters
from home to be educated.
The ceremonies of Growing the Queen, etc.
had already commenced when we reached the
Institute building, and 1t was only after consid-
cradle elbowing thatwe obtained an entra nee to
the main room. Thereon was brilliantly light
oil, and the whole scene was one o rare beauty.
The Queen, the crowner, the maids of honor,
the fairies and the flowers, fond parents and
admring friends, were oil there, and formed
picture that twas good for mortal to behold.
Miss SALLY YERGER had been selected as
Queen, and most gracefully and becomingly

brief reign. Seated upon her throne, under an
elegantly decorated canopy, she seered Che

Mocking the far of sky
With Its eye OF tender blue.

AMERICANS IN EUROPE. Bayard
Taylor, in his last 'random" letter to
the New York Tribune, gives the fol-
lowing gossip regarding American tour
lists in Europe.
An English correspondent, the other
day, said very shrewdly that the Anne
ricans are now playing the same role in
Europe as the English after 1921, and
the Russians ten years later. They
swarm everywhere; they are rich, or
at least assume the air of being SO;
they demand the best of everything re-
CARELESS of expense; or, perhaps, be-
cause after the intolerable expense of
life at home, the best. seems so cheap
here; and they crowd the tourists Of
other nations unceremoniously out of
their way. The English have hereto
fore had the monopoly of spelling ira
vel; but the Americans are leaving
them out of sight in the race. Our
countrymen, however, do the thing in
another way. They do not carry their
own tea with them, nor always insist
on having their national cookery they
do not growl and complain at every
turn, and finally at the bill in which ev-
cry growl adds to the sum total but
they have horror at everything which
is not first-class, and accept the most
magnificent apartments and the greatest
luxury of ssrvice, rather than be con-
sidered not able or willing to pay for
them. Of course, the landlords under
stand this weakness, and profit by it.
Formerly, my familiarity with Euro
pean customs and a tolerable know
ledge of the languages enabled me to
travel at the normal rates but now
the word "United States of America"
in the hotel-register, deprive me of that
advantage. l find that the estimates
given by those invaluable guides, Baed-
eker and Berlepseh, no longer apply to
my case.

PEPPER.-Pepper is an almost universal
condiment. Black pepper irritates and in
flames the coating of the stomach. Red pep
per does not; it excites but does not irritate.
consequently 1t should be used instead of
black pepper. twas known to the Romans,
and has been in use in the East Indies for
time immemorial, as it corrects thatfatulen-
ccy which attends the large use of vegetable

1t Is manifold more healthy to use cayenne
pepper at meals than any form of wine,
brandy, or beer that can be named, because

RATTLE OF THE BIRDS.-Whlle' saun-
tering around lately, we accidentally
witnessed one Of the most singular or
astrological exhibitions that ever fell
under our observation. A chimney
swallow had only begun to balance his
little body upon the topmost branch OF
a large cherry tree, when a robin OF al
dermanic proportions swept down upon
him from neighboring maple. Inc
swallow fought nobly for while, ana
with every prospect of success, until MS
russet-colored foe was reinforced 6y

tention of some of his tribe, and to his
relief came the colony Of neighborlng
chimney. Now began combat worthy
o nainter's pencil. AS the swallows adj
vanced and retired in dark waves, they
dealt cruel blows at the devoted robins,
who, madened with pain, fought with
desperation; but the odds were too
great, and gasping, bleeding, quiverlng,
Catching from bough to bough, the rob-
ms fell to the earth, shapeless and torn.
Although immensely exciting, the com
bat was not the most interesting tea
ture of this curious exhibition. Many
of the swallows were covered with
wounds given by the sharp claws ana
strong beaks of the unfortunate robins,
and these received the imm edlate at
tention of the unwounded, who, in pairs,
carried them tenderly to their sooty
homes.
Now came the final and most singular
feature. Tenderly, carefully and SOL
emily was each dead swallow convey
ed to the top of large chimney adj
iacent, and after piling up the rigid
bodies in one sombre heap, the entire
swarm settled upon the root In silence,
while one of their companions, whose
great age was evident from the light
gray of his feathers, perched upon the
lightning rod, and for some five or ten
minutes chirped, twittered and slowly
tapped his wing. During this pertor-
nance, which was evidently an Grafton
upon the virtues of the deceased, the
bird audience maintained their positions
immovably, but at its close, three OF
the birds, whose black, glistening coats
denoted their youth, advanced and eau
tiously pushed the bodies into the yawn-
ing chimney. This accomplished, each
winged witness sailed away, noisily
twittering, as though in heated discus
sion over the fight in which each had
participated.-Lad. Progress.
