she Unused She watched anxiously to
see shoots appear. "If the seeds grow,
1 will take courage, " she said to her
self. Tessie had begun to understand
herself. She still loved Alan Dunleith,
and hoped again to meet him. II she
met him now, perhaps-perhaps there
would not be 80 much dissimilarity.
On the fifteenth day, pale, peariy
shoots broke the earth, and quickly
took on a tinge of green. A color like
the rose came into Tessie's cheeks at
the sight. Day by day the frail things
grew, overrunning the pot with waxy
foliage and great buds.
''See what large rich buds, aunt Gale,
and | think they are going to bloom into
some bright COLOR"
"You think more of that plant than
of all the Others" answered the old
woman, looking at her curiously.
Tessie bent closer. Yes, the bsds
sheathed petals of red.
She came down late to breakfast the
next morning, but had hardly seated
herself at the nice repast, before she
sprang up, nearly o~verturning her cup
of chocolate.
A wonderful glow of scarlet irradi
ated the window. Five of the buds had
opened. The flowers were of marvel
lous beauty, of pure, glowing color,
velvety in texture, wide and perfect.
Already people had gathered in the
street before the window to gaze at
them.
"Five," unused T'essie, 81 wonder if
the number has a significance ?"
Every day the flowers multiplied,
until they dropped in a cascade of fire
towards the pane.
One day a gentleman, passing hastily,
caught sight of them and stopped.
Then he turned and rang the little door
bell. Aunt Gale answered it. The
beautiful plant in the window-it was
a very rare one, which he had tried for
years to add to his collection. Could
he purchase a slip of it :?
Aunt Gale showed the gentleman in
to the breakfast-room, where Tessie,
all grace and brightness, stood petting
a canary bird.
She turned her head, the smile still
in her eyes and saw Alan Dunleith.
"Tessie ~
Loving, approving, tender, he looked
into the lovely face, grown so suddenly
sober, and extended both hands.
And Tessie hesitated but a moment
before she laid hers, melting and fail
in them.
"You have found me-" she said un.
consciously.

''Shall l have it ~
"Wait a little, = she answered.
But her shy eye did not tell him nay
Her blush was eloquent and as the!

Kindergarten Institute.

The birthday anniversary of Frederi ch
Froebel, the founder of the kindergarten sys-
tenn of education, was celebrated by the
pupils of Mrs. Polloclk's National kind ergar-
ten at the school, No. 1927, Thirteenth street
northwest, yesterday. In the morning about
sixty children were entertained by Mrs. Pol
lock and her assistants, and enjoyed thcm-
selves at an indoor picnic. All the scholars
had brought something in the way of refresh
ments, and just before lunch time arrived
their amiabe preceptress told them that
each scholar should hand around his
or her particular Offering to tho other
pupils, and also told them they might
help themselves before rendering it to the
others. So the little ones solemnly carried
around their sweetmeats to their cOmpan-
ions, offering them with AS much grace as an
experienced society belle Mt "A church sociable
The politeness of tho cherubs was eXompli-
fled by the fact that none took advantage OF
Mrs. Pollock's permission to help themselves
first.

Elected-Intcresting Papers.
The Academy of Sciences met in scientific
session yesterday morning Fhere were read
papers on "The Spectrum ofour Argand Gas
burner" by Prof. S. p. Langley, and on 1.-THE
Efficiency of Storage Batteries" by Prof.
George +. Barker, in which the essayist
humorously alluded to the very extended uses
to which imaginative persons would put
electricity, even so far rs to store IL up in a
bottle, and by means of an orifice expressly
made for the purpose, use it instead OF meat
and drink. Although this would be decided
improvement on Jersey lightning" the pro-
fessor did not lend the plan the weight oil his
scientific sanction.
Succeeding this was Mr.. G. II. +. Peters's
paper on Photographs of the Great Comet of
1882" which was supplemented by the recital
by Prof. Hall of his observations during the
present year. when he noticed there were four
points to be seen, which unsciontific persons
would call the nucleus. Prof. A. w. Wright
read very interesting paper detailing some
experiments upon q method of forming q
visible image of the solar corona" This
method was on sitting out the image of the
sun, and receiving the light of the corona
and the atmospheric glare on some tlorescent
material. This method was discussed and
highly approved by Profs. Barker and Hall
as being superior to all other methods en-
ployed by scientific men. Prof. Wright fol-
lowed again with short paper on THE Phos-
phorescence of Sulphate of Quinia" Prof
Barker then read tho last paper of the session
on Further Generalization Regarding Com
plete Inorganic Acids" by Prof. Walcott
Gibbs
Prior to the reading of Prof. Peters paper
Prof. Otto Won Struve read paper on ''The
Great Object-glass Made by Alvon Clark u
Sons for the Pulkowa Observatory" Prof
Struve gave full description of this object
glass, which is the largest in the world-four
inches in diameter larger than the one in the
great telescope at Washington. The new
members elected were A. Graham Bell, G..
X. Gilbert, United States geographical survey;
J. S. Billings, NJ. d., G. l.. Jackson, and IL.
b. Hall, Howard university. The academy
then adjourned until Tuesday, Nov 13, when
they will meet at Yale College, New Haven,

other cities such matters are left
to private enterprise, and are not, as Mr..
Watson alleges, taken in hand by government.
