An Interesting Woman Entertain.
ing Company at Breakfast.
At halfpa of June morning, says
a writer in the Woman's Journal, the
pleasure of our company was requested
at the Vassar Observatory by Prof. Maria
Mitchell. We knew her love of mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy, and at halfpast pre-
cisely we assembled the observa DRY steps
Here we were met and Hospitality VEL
coined by our hostess. She Is woman
in tie sixties, with distinguished face,
whose strong lines are soltened by her
beautiful white hair. Her dress and
manners have in them the memory of
the Quaker plainess into which she was
born. For nearly twenty years Maria
Mitchell has been the presiding genius
Of the Vassar Observatory, and with
every June, as regular as commence
ment day itself, has coma the "dome
party" for the students of her depart
ment. One never finds her in finer
moot than when hostess Of the dome. =,
First and foremost, Marie Mitchell is
an interesting original, stimu-
lating. Her racy talk is free from cant
or conventionality, and often gives the
listener an electric shock. Her spirited
salutation imparts the impulse tie CONVEX
sation: Her surroundings are at once
the chief topics of our talk. The parlor
in which we find ourselves is curiousIy
divided between society and science.
Behind the railing at one end stand the
chronograph and the solemn sideral
CLOCK. Between them, in the vine
framed window, Is bust of Mary Som
erville, presented to Vassar College by
7 Frances Power Cobbe. Two tall book
cases contain a friendly crowd of books,
from Laplace's Mechanique Celeste to
the last volume of Lohgfellow. Here is
q picture of Humboldt in his study, there
some astronomical cups and saucers, each
adorned with an astronomers portrait.
The vines in the window sway gently in
the still June morning. On one side we
look down into D. quaint little garden,
with suggestion of the old world Sleep
mess and quiet. Here grew the first
roses and the last chrysanthemums.
From the opposite window we see broad
rolling lawns, and beyond the distant

cate girl, one ofthe children of the dress
or at the theater, whose pale face and
interesting manner fitted her we'll for
the part, played '"Tiny Tim" The sickly

viands up and giving them to the children
performing and they, when they had
eaten the first helping, returned, like
''Oliver,"' for more. 'Tiny Tim," like
Benjamin" appeared to eat seven times,
as much as her brethren. She was the
first to return her plate for more, aud
always made away with more than
any ordinary adult could eat of goose,
Dlpplementing this colossal repast with
p UNI pudding enough for half a dozen.
Ioole gradually felt an aversion growing
in him for the child. Her pallor and
sickness seemed to him suspiciouslv
allied with indigestion, the first fruits Of
gluttony. He struggled against this
feeling for time, but it mastered him,
and he could not tl.ink kindly of the
little one.
One day in fit of disgust, he sawed
of piece ofmeat and bones from the
srvory Bird, and flung it into her plate,
with piece Of plum pudding, which left
little for the others, hoping that for
she wasn't. With punctuality worthy
of q landlord, she returned for more.
Toole was shocked.

You could uot have eaten it in this time.
Where are the bones?" he added,
looking at the empty plate.
The poor child hung her head. Toole
spoke again, rather sharply.
PLEASE sir" sobbed Tiny Tim," my
little sister ate it."
And following the direction of her
eyes toward the wings there he saw
hungry little horde of ragamufins pitch
ing into the Christmas cheer with an
energy that indicated how much they
needed it. A light was let in upon him.
Little Tiny had been filing the stomachs
of her hungry little brothers and sisters
and not her own. She never took
another grudged morsel from the table.
Toole told the story to Dickens, W no
listened attentively. and at its conclu-
sion, with burst Of warm enthusiasm,
cried: "Give her all the goose and
half the plum pudding next time" and
II the actor did not follow the warm
hearted novelist's instructions to the
letter he acted up to tho spirit of them,
and Tiny's family never lacked a square
meal during the run Of tho piece.

years Of graduation. Up a flight OF
steps, through heavy baize doors, and
we are in the dome itself. Over our
heads the great equatorial telescope
points silently heavenward, itself work
as marvellous as the wonders it reveals.
The tables are set in circle round the
dame. AT each plate is rosebud, and
card with the name of the guest and a
tiny photograph of the observatory.
T shall always believe that Strawberries
have the flavor of q new variety when
eaten with surroundings 80 unique, and
that the chicken croquettes could have
been furnished by no common barnyard
fowl. And yet the essence of dome
breakfast is not that which tickles the
palate in any liberal sense. 1t is when
the plates are removed that the dome
party really begins. A large basket Is
now passed, from which each draws a
poem addressed to some one of the CON-
pany. These are read aloud, much to
the merriment Of the party; for each
contains highly relished personal hit.
Some small classroom event, some pet
taste, or distaste, is the but of the poet.
The verses are, for the most part. written
by Prof. Mitchell herself, who has an
easy rhymins pen. Many are the math-
0matlcal and Astronomical illusions. For
once poetry and science seemed to have
joined hands. Some of the best jinqles
are set to familiar tunes and sung by an
impromptu choir perched OH the nova

How attractive it floats, how protective each

beginning its two hundred years old.
When the stormings Of war waged heavy and
hot
All, many fag has been riddled with shot.
And the dagstaff splintered no relic to save,
But thanks be 10 God the old banner does
wave.
Comrades Of the Grand Army, we ought to be
proud
Although many flag has been used for a
shrOud,
To cover our comrades with honor in their
graves
But thanks be to God the old banner stin
waves
And when this earthly ball, its career shall end,
When Christ and his angels from the skies
shall descend
To fold up the earth as a garment pray,
That the star spaugled banner float then bright
and gay.
When the angel of Time shall descend from the
skies
And blows in his trumpet that the dead may
arise,
May Washington, Lincoln and Garfield
When they arise from their graves
BE made to smile when they see
That the old loved banner stiu waves.

A Necessity of the Day.

Few minor inventions have been so
readily appreciated and come so quickly
into general use as the stylographic pen.
None who have used one will ever be con-
tented with any less convenient apparatus
for writing, and in a short time there will
be few who have occasion to write at all
who have not adopted it. The general prin-
ciple of the stylographic pen is so familiar
as to require no explanation. We have
made trial of various kinds, bat have found
none to equal the improved Livermore Sty-
lographic Pen, which combines all the advan-
tages of the other makes. 1t is convenient
to use, writes with any kind of good ink,
and is practically indestructibIe. Sold at
first for SO each, the price has recently
been reduced to 50 for plain pens, with
fifty cents extra for gold mounted. By
sending that amount to Louis Z. Dunlap,
Manager Stylographic Pen Company, 29O

with package Of superior ink, viii be sent

once refunded if they do not prove to be
