The above are but a few, and doubt
less many just as deserving OF mention
were overlooked, but our space is limi-
ted.
The domestic exhibit is one of the
most interesting parts of the exhibition.
They are very numerous, and are the
work OF the pupils during the past year
at home. None of last years exhibits
are shown. The best of this work were
made as presents to some relative. This
department includes all kinds of fancy
work, crochetlng, embroidery, ETC.,
painting, making imitation flowers, by
the girls, and all kinds of ingenious ar
ticles by the boys. Then there is also
the cooking, which includes bread, bis
cnits, cakes galore and candy. The
cooking was done by the pupils making
the exhibits, and good housekeepers
pass favorably on it. Among the fancy
work is some beautiful and costly dra-
perry and furnishings. Out of the vast
quantity exhibited, we have, aided by
one or two of the teachers, selected
small portion to mention specially. A
hundred or 80 other articles are Just as
