fhe SnIsAcI and Entertainment.

Phe SaYAcI and Entertainment.
 The supper and entertainment at the Academy, Friday evening was a complete success in every way. It was projected ant carried out successfully by the pleasant and sf- fcient Superintendent, Prof. J. w. Conser, for the purpose of seeur ing money to purchase an ergan, globes, y,-ups, etc., for the school. The proceeds of the evening amounted to s96.45 gross, and sS1, ,OO net, which will be about enough to purchase nitst of the thing. needed. Below we give a short summary of the programme of the evening:
 THE SUPPER. First and most important came the supper. It was under the especial charge of Ars Ella McRae and Mrs, l.. E. Hinton. To Sfy the long tables "groaned beneath the load of good things," would not be putting it too strong. The sabstntials, delicacies, strawber- ries, ice cream, etc., were delecta- bio both to behold and taste. bUsIcAL sOIREE. About 9 o'clock, whom most e the guests were through with sup per. the musical soiree WAS given by the Professor and some of tho I young ladies and gentlemen. The music was good and enjoyed by all. The following pieces were rendered.:
 Variations of "Old Black Joel | Instr. solo,, by Albert Hope.
 "Wait Till The Clouds Roll By' Instr. bret., by Miss Tarrissa Blake and Dwight Blake.
 "Would l Were Boy Again"'- by Misses Jeanie Scott, Ida Moore, Thos. Burns and J. w. Conger. "Sweet Distant Chimes'-Trio., by Mrs. Oweu, Miss Ida Latour- cite and J. w. Conger.
 "Peek a .boo"-Iustr. Duct, by Dwight Blake and Albert Hope.
 "Come When Tho Lilies Bloom" By Misses Nettie Smith and Ida Latourette, Messrs, Ross and Con- ger.
 "Jeanie Dear''-Vocai solo,, by Mrs. Owen.
 ART GALLERY, ETC. After the musical soiree, Miss Conovsy recited "The Briar Rosc,' fin a most graceful and impressive manner, that elicited the hearty applause of all.
 , The Art Gallery" and "menag- eric" arranged by Misses Kirk land and Owens, was an interesting feature of tho programme of the evening, and served to amuse all no little. The almost perfect man. ner in which they represented the Elephant, Giraffe, etc, etc, by means of cloth, on boys bentin diff fsrentshapes, was surprising, aud some of the little folks thought them genuine animals. The art gallery was unique and amusing.
 Too much praise cannot be giv- en Prof. Conger tor his untiring zeal Tn behalf of our school. As sisted by the lady teachers he is making it all that could be asked one of the best schools in the State. Tho organ. maps, globes, stc:, will be of great benefit to the school, and make it more pleasant foI both teachers and pupils, Al there was not sufficient money in the school fund to buy these ne cessa- ries, Prof. Conger's .tsp t9 get the money is the more laudable. We arc requested by Ar Con- ger to return his thanks to all who so kindly assisted in the entertain ment, and the public for turning out so liDerally. The entertain ment did not all Affect the studies of the school children, as but very few took part in it, and no prepa- | ration was required.

Our Good Fairy.
Morning Star
Wide Awake.


Mamma, did you ever see a real fairyg' ones
toned Maud, looking up from book she was
reading-"a real one, with shining white wings!
mo. never kid, Maud, nor did anyone else.
Fairy stories are not true, you know, they are
only written to amuse. But your question re-
minds me of something which happened when /
was little girl 1t was one summer when your.
Aunt Kate and had been sent to the country to
see our grandmother. Father and mother were
to follow us in q few weeks. We loved TO visit
grandmother, for she lived on farm which
stood upon a river bank, and there were beauti-
full trees and woods along the bank
Uncle Fred had given US very pretty white
kitten, and as we had never had a cat or pet of
any kind, we were delighted Uncle Fred had
just come home from boarding-schoo and we
thought him wonderfully clever, and were de-
lighted when he noticed us. One day he brought
US book of fairy stories, the first of the kind
we had ever seen. 1t was no wonder that our
minds were excited by the wonderful tales, and
that we pored over them night and day. One
desire took possession of us-we must see a
fairy.
Accordingly, one afternoon, just after dinner,
we crept away very stealthily for fear some one
might call us back, and FASTENED to the woods.
Once in the dense shade of the great trees. and
out of sound of the farm-yard, we became almost
frightened. We hardly dared breathe. The
sound OF our own footsteps often made US start.
we expected any moment to see a fairy or a
dwarf AT length we began to be weary and
come at the wrong time and so decided to turn
back. Then we found, alas! we had lost our
way We were dreadfully alarmed, for we
knew it would soon begin to grow dark, and the
idea of spending the night in the woods was ter
rifylng, especially when we remembered the
stories we had been reading
Suddenly we heard strange noise Just over
our heads-a cracking of leaves-then branch
shook. Something was going to happen at last.
We stood still. quite breathless A little more
rustllng of leaves. and then out stepped a little
snow-white creature and stood before us--not a
real fairy, to be sure, but far better. own
white kitten.
''Oh. how we laughed as she sprang down, and
then we laughed louder still when we saw that
we had wandered all around the river bank and
had come back again to the farm by another
way just beyond us stood the gate; only we
had been too much bewildered to see it.
Pussy had evidently been out upon journey
also-not looking for fairies, but for birds-and
we had met AS she had never had name we
called her Fairy from that day. Grandmother
laughed at us when we got home and Uncle
Fred said that if he had known we were such
silly little girlies he would never have put fairy
stories in our hands to bother our heads"
1t is very foolish to allow ourselves to be
troubled by our fancies and to be afraid of what
does not exist.

A New Kind of SpelIing-Bee.

Little Folks.
One of the company begins by naming the first
letter of the alphabet. "A" the player sitting
next to him on the left then adds a letter-any
letter, provided that, though it will form part OF
word, it shall not form complete word. The
third person adds another letter, and so the
game proceeds until player has been compelled
to pronounce letter which, with those that have
gone beforeit, will form word, whereupon he
or she will be promptly called upon to furnish
forfeit or fine of some sort The second letter,
"B," is then chosen by the next player, and the
game goes on as before. Let me illustrate my
description of this amusement We commence
with "a" next player, '.b" Evidently ab is
part of word, but not word in itself. The
third player gives "a" and the fourth 49," he
might have said st." but this would not have
answered his purpose, for it would have made
the word adult" and brought him in for fine
or forfeit He thinks. you see, that while saving
himself he has cornered his next friend; but No.
quietly says 81" and passes this growing word
to the next player who adds to it the letter w."
thereby forcing the seventh player-who has no
choice-to say ''e" and so completing word
the word 'abusive"-to pay the penalty.

sums up the relation of certain noted English
men to religion: MIR. Spencer gives US the hint
of God discovered by science, but no adequate
religion Mr.. Harrison the hint Of a religion
found in and delivered from humanity, but no
worshipful God. and Matthew Arnold has added
to Mr.. Spencers hint of God found in nature,
and Mr.. Harrisons hint of a religion found in
humanity, worship based On fable and fiction,
with which he asks us, self deluded, to beguile
ourselves, that we may feed the spirit within US,
which needs the satisfaction of a true life"
