house caused some discussion the old house
being too small to seat comfortably all the
scholars. The decision revealed the good
sense Of most OF the inhabitants Of the dis.

children can obtain a good education in our

The members Of Palestine Camp,
l. o. o. F., have abundant reason to felici.
tate themselves on the success of the closing
party in their list Of social dances, which oc-
CURED at Crosby hall on Wednesday evening.
The company present was the largest Of the
season, numbering 1906 couples. The First
Regiment band orchestra, which furnished
the music, gave concert from 3 O'Clock to
$3.50. The grand march was called at the
lust-named hour, and was successfully led by
Lieut.. O. II. Stevens and his sister, Miss Lau-
ra Stevens. The scene on the floor after the
dancing began was an unusually animated one
the uniforms Of some 20 Camp me mbers,
with as many more from the Lodge, adding
much to the general effect
1t was l.. f. Adams's turn to be surprised
last Monday evening, and the little job was
done very thoroughly for both him and his
family. Early in the evening a party of
about 40 friends took unceremonious posses.
sion Of the house, and in due time r. f. Tay-
Tor, acting az spokesman for the company,
called Mr.. Adams up and made bfm the very
appropriate gift Of a handsome field glass
slyly remarking during the presentation that,
though the glasses we're double, his friends
hoped he would never see through thom two
steers where there was but one. Mr.. Adams
found himself unable to compose formal
speech Of thanks on the occasion, but his APP
probation Of this good will OF his friends was
none the less evident. An evening full of
music, dancing and general iollity followed.
1t was a surprise to learn on Tuesday
evening that no more than 100 tons OF coal
had been used in heating the new school
building during the season. DIR. Holton stat.
ed in the school meeting that fraction over
80 tons was put in last fall aud that enou h
of this probably remained TO go through till
May. The heating apparatus has been used
at disadvantage during the winter, but fig.
ures at hand nevertheless show he amount il
small compared with the quantity Of fuel used
in similar buildings in other places. Mr..
Hopkins the inventor Of this heating system,
is confident that changes which be purposes
making in the furnaces during the summer
vacation will reduce the quantity OF coal re-
quired to so tons. But better than all is the
fact that this system gives pupils and teach
ers pure, wholesome air TO breathe from
morning till night.
THE BAPTIST REVIVAL MEETINGS.

day morning and evening and Mr. Birdsall

unexpectedly large attendance and the deep
interest manif, sted All meetings hereafter

ings will continue through next week, with
