LIE girls always enjoy holiday,
especially one that brings with it as
many pleasures as did last Friday.
Young ladies. remember the "Ideal
Student"
SOME of the girls are suffering
trornAn attack of spring fever. We
hope it will not prove fatal to their
standard.
SHOULD girls, while at school, re-
ceive visits from young men ? The
question is open for discussion. We
would like to hear from both sides
and our parents.
WE have set out upon the last
month of the present session, and it
is perhaps the most important of
any, because it is the summing up
of the work Of the year. There is
much more for us to do, and we
have to fight against some odds, for
at this season OF the year there is
much to call us away from our
books. But We are here to develop
perseverance as well as other quail
ties of mind, so let us be true to the
end and rest will be all the sweeter.
OUR President informs us that he
intends.to make special efforts to
develop the Art department. At
present there are no Marietta girls
studying art. This is unfortunate
as we believe there is nothing that
cultivates the aesthetic more than
this. We will have room fitted
for this department, with easels and
casts, open at all houre, in which
the pupils can 60 and draw and
paint at any leisure hour. We are
glad to inform our friends that Miss
Maggie Hair will have charge of
this work, which is enough guaran-
tee that it will be a success. She
will give one half hour a day to all
in free-hand pencil drawing without
charge. Charcoal and Pastel draw
ing will be two dollars a month for
hour lessons, daily; water color
painting, three dollars; oil, four
dollars. We hope our parents will
allow many of US to embrace this
opportunity.
OUR school will have a new grade
next year, kindergarten class fol-
boys and girls from four to seven
years of age. One of the best train
ed kindergarten teachers in the
South, lady of nine years experl-
ence in this work, has been engaged.
No books will be used, but the chill
dren will employ their Cine in build
ing, drawing, perforating paper,
modelling in clay and sand, etc.
Much time will be given to Kinder
garten song, games, and panto-
mines, to storytelling, both histor-
ic and scientific, and those intended
to illustrate some special virtue.
The rates will be six dollars per
term of five months, payable in add
vance. Apply for places at once,
as only a limited number will be
taken.
The kindergarten is a community
of love, destroying in the child the
selfish spirit, developing the per
ceptive faculties and fitting the
child for his work in the school
room as nothing else can.

BOSTON, Nov. 2.-General Francis A.
Walker, the statisticisn, and the superin-
tendent of the ninth and tenth censuses Of
the United States, has been for several
years past the president of the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology, in Boston.
The administration OF the affairs of that
large and important institution takes up
great share of General Walkers time, but
he is a man of such bOundless energies that
no one thing seems TO be enough to entire
" occupy him. Since the first bulletins
Of the present great census have been is
sued, General Walker has been studying
them carefully and comparing them with
previous counts.
But General Walkers main work Is at
the Institute of Technology, which. dur
ing his presidency, has turned out en-
gineers and architects who have already
made their mark in their professions.
They 90 to Boston from all over the coun-
try, and there have an opportunity TO get
technical instruction which few similar in
stitutions afford. Two young men grsdu-
ates from this school recently were
awarded the best architectural commission
ever given in America-that Is, the build
ing Of the Protestant cathedral OF St John
the Divine
The larger part Of General Walkers life
has been spent as a stzt.stician and educa-
tor, but he has been active II other pur-
suits and won bis military title on the

captured in 1s4 and confined for some
time in Libby prison He was at one time

than physician. Some years ago one OF
the magazines published novel written by
him, which in literary merit was deemed
worthy to be classed with the works Of
Henry James or of William ID. Howells
Moreover, it had what the stories of these
authors frequently did not have, and that
is plot. the literary success was so
great that DR.. Mitchell received many y'of-
fers from publishers and has furnished
some short stories and sketches, and some
verses which have the true ring OF poetry
In them.
In speaking of this byplay in literature
of professional men it may be said that
one of the most successful novels ever
written, "Ten Thousand a Year." was
written by an English physician, who had
a very large practice, and partly as a men
tai diversion and partly on account of
wager which this physician made that any
man of fair intellectual ability could, If he
applied himself, write novel which would
be a success. The success of this novel as
tonished its author, DR.. Warren, and
brought him handsome sum of money.
His son is now one of the pulpit orators OF
New York, being the rector OF Holy Trinity
church. K. j. EDWARDS.

WILLIAM MARTIN.

Els residence is at Detroit, and at one
time he was a regular in the United States
army. He was injured in the service, and
received an honorable discharge. For sew
eral years he has devoted his attention to
bicycling. He has acquitted himself very
creditably in a number of professional
races, but this is the first time that he has
ever made great hit.
OF the fourteen men who entered the
race only six finished. They were Martin,
1,466 40 miles; Ashinger, 1, Al 1-1o; Lamb,
1852; Schock, 1,32S1l; Albert, sos 40, and
Boyst, 1901 $40. Martin received about
S2, 100 as his share of the receipts. One of
the remarkable features of the race was the
work of Albert, whose real name is E. r.
Leonard. He is captain of the Stuyvesant
Athletic club. He was an amateur and
the race was his first effort.

G. Cattell, D. D., LID, ex-president Of
the college, presided.
Rev. Thomas c. Porter, D. D., LID,
of the class of 1870, made the address
on behalf of the faculty. Mr.. William
McDougall Jack, Of the senior class, wei
coined the new president on behalf of
the students, and Rev. DR.. Cattell spoke
for the trustees. DR.. Warheld opened
his inau yural with these words:
This is an iconoclastic age. Ideal
after ideal falls, shattered by Boaner-
gian hammers. Educational problems
are attracting unwonted interest. To
day the assault IS being directed against
the ideals of Christian education. 1t is
for US to see to it that the cause of truth
suffers no loss, and to make sure that
progress has not a negative value"
President Warheld is but thirty years of
age and has already achieved fame as a
scholar. He was graduated at Prince
ton. then took degree at Oxford, re-
turned to his home at Lexington, KY,
studied law and was beginning to prac-
tice when called TO the presidency Of
Miami university, Oxford, o. After
two years there he was called to Lafa-
yette. Sixty-fve years ago Pennsylvania
chartered Lafayette college, and it has
down to date matriculated $3.50 stu
dents and sent out 521 clergymen, 621
lawyers, 941 physicians, 252 college pro-
fessors and 509 into the technical pro-
fessions as engineers, chemists, ETC.

In Nature Notes Mr.. r. T. Lewis gives
curious account of the appreciation with
which the song of the cicada is heard by
insects other than those of its own genus.
The correspondent has frequently observed
in Natal, Africa, that when the cicada is
singing at its loudest in the hottest por-
tion of the day it is attended by number
of other insects with lovely, gauzelike, iri-
descent wings, whose demeanor has left no
doubt in his mind that the music is the at
traction. The cicada, when singing, usu-
ally stations itself upon the trunk of tree
with its head uppermost, and the insects
in question, to the number Of sometimes
fifteen or sixteen, form themselves into
rough semicircle at a short distance
around its head. During a performance
one of the insects was observed occasion
ally to approach the eicada and to touch it
upon its front leg or antenn8, which pro-
eeeding was resented by vigorous stroke
of the foot by the cicada, without, how
ever, any cessation of its song. The insects
composing the audience are extremely ac-
tive and so wary that they take fight at
the least alarm or the too near approach of
any intruder. Some of them, however,
have been captured; and on examination
those proved to belong to the same family
as that most beautiful of British insects,
lacewing fly, which, indeed, they closely
resemble except as to size, their measure
ment across the expanded wings being
little over two inches; they have since bean
identified by Mr.. Kirby at the British mu-
scum as N0tochrysa gigantea."

carriages began, and made many of the
old kind, as the same principles applied
as in ordinary carriages.
They had three compartments each,
and half the passengers had to ride back
ward, as they now do in most English
cars. In 1867, however, Mr.. Daven-
port constructed for the so called east
ern road twenty-four wheel cars, with
passageways frem end to end and all
seats fronting forward. They were a
stupendous success. The American peo-
pie, or that small portion of them who
then patronized the railroads, would toll
crate no other kind. and in twenty years
the firm made $4,00O,0 900 worth. The
first made seated but twenty-four people
each.
At the age of thirty Mr.. Davenport
was at the height of business success. A
few years later he was quite wealthy,
but most of his means were invested in
railroad stocks. The panic and decline
Of stocks swept away his surplus, and at
the age of fifty he had to begin again.
He also designed the water parks on the
Charles river, and in many ether ways
has been an enterprising citizen. He
has four sons, all in active business, and
two daughters.

BALANCING A PENCIL on ITS POINT.

You have merely to dig the blade of a
half open penknife into the pencil little
above the point, and to open or close the
blade, little by little, till you find that the
balance is obtained. The combination of
pencil and penknife thus placing itself in
equilibrium is an illustration of familiar
law of mechanics; the center of gravity Of
the combination falls below the point of
support (the finger, edge of table or the
like, and thus stable equilibrium is OBJ
tanned
By varying the degrees Of opening the
penknife, you impart corresponding de-
grees of inclination to the pencil. When
the center of gravity of the two combined
falls in the same line as the axis of the pen
Gil, the latter will assume a perpendicular
nosition

WORLDS CHAMPION MARTIN.
The Winner of the Recent Internationa
RfcveIe Race.

The Winner OF tile Recent InteFHatSOH
Bicycle Race.
William Martin, the winner Of the recent
six DAYS international bicycle tournament
at Madison Square garden, New York,
covered .466 40 miles in 142 hours, rested
only fifteen hours during that time, and
reduced the worlds record, held By his
competitor, Albert Shock, of Germany,
61 40 miles. Martins remarkable endur-
ance has created a sensation in athletic
circles. He was born in Ireland, but came
TO America when only three years OF age,
and can therefore be claimed as an Amer
ican bred athlete
