Two Brooklyn Boys.

Two boys living in Brooklyn recently
wrote to Secretary Tracy of the navy.
telling of a scheme they had on hand.
Part of their letter is given as follows:
"We intend to make an expedition to
the north pole, We believe that we will
be successful if we are supplied with the
following articles: A good supply of
coal, food, clothing, and carpenters,
machinists and engineers tools. We
would also like to have mortar, many
bombs, weapons of all kinds and plenty
of ammunition We would like to have
two ships like either the Maine, Texas
or Baltimore"
They had various other ideas in con-
nection with the plan, which they ex-
planned to the secretary, but the govern
ment will not be able to attend to the
matter at present. There is plenty of
time, however, for the scheme to be con-
sidered, as the boys do not intend to go
until they have come of age, and the
eldest of the two is now only thirteen

Shetland Ponies.

The smallest pony in the world is to
be found at the well known Shetland
pony farm of the Marquis of London
derry, on the island of Bressay. It is a
little colt foal that weighed but sixteen
pounds and was only nineteen and half
inches high atits birth. 1t is a perfectly
healthy, well formed animal. The great
object of the breeders of Shetland ponies
is to keep down the size of the animals.
The price increases in inverse ratio to
size. This is partly from fancy and
fashion, and partly because the smaller

WELLESLEY COLLEGE GIRLS ENJOY
UNIQUE EXERCISES.

General Lees Daughter-The Slaughter

A young lady who has attended all
the local class day festivities tells me
that those at Wellesley are the most
picturesque. She finds the Wellesley
"foat" the prettiest thing in the way of
college celebration that has ever been
invented. "You should have seen the
crews out in their pretty boats and love
ly suits Saturday night" she says; ''they
were too fetching for anything. The
'92s had the most perfect stroke natu-
rally, but the '94s won the most of the
applause, because they looked SO awful
ly pretty in their green jerseys and SO
thoroughly businesslike in their shell,
all in a row, like real Harvard varsity
eight.
''Their boat, you know, isn't per-
fectly orthodox shell; at the college they
call them ''94 on the half SHE'LL The
crews went out soon after o'clock.
The shores of Lake Waban were already
well lined with people-there are the
most fascinating paths among the trees
there, by the way, and the faculty don't
pretend to be very sharp eyed on float
day-and when the girls went darting
up and down on the water there was
wild applause. There were actually
more freshmen crews than you could
count And there was a genuine Vene-
tian gondola sailing around there, with
genuine Venetian banana merchant to
paddle it.
Before it became dark the boats
gathered together near the shore and
the girls began to sing. Then the cal
cium lights were turned on them, and
they became just angelic at once. They
sang funny college words to good old
tunes, and rah-rahed everybody, and
some young men on the shore rah-rahed
them, and it was too lovely for any
thing. They had beautiful fireworks all
the time on point of land just across
the lake, and actually lighted little pots
of fire in row on the wateri 1t was

An Opera Company of Her own.

They say in New Haven, where Miss
Justine Ingersoll is recognized as So
cial leader, that the idea of producing
comic operas in Connecticut towns with
q company composed of local amateurs
came to her in pique. They say that
the leaders of one social faction got up
an amateur performance about year
ago and ignored Miss Ingersou from
sheer jealousy. They say that this
angered her, and she vowed she would
get up company of her own and give
an opposition performance. Being
wealthy herself she avoided the great
obstacle of securing financial hacker.
She canvassed New Haven from one
end to the other to secure suitable mem
bers for her company, and when she had
gathered half a hundred people together
she began. to train them. The principals
of the company comprised the best anna
teurs of the city. The chorus was re-
cruited from stores and shops. Miss
Ingersoll secured an expensive musical
director and concert master and had a
well known costumer make the costumes
and scenic artists paint the scenery,
Everything was done on an elaborate
scale and under Miss Ingersoll's own
supervision.
When all was in readiness she adver-
tised the show and all New Haven
focked to applaud it. The only part
Miss Ingersoll took in the production
was to direct it personally. She ar
ranged all the details and managed the
entire affair. During the performance
she fitted among the boxes, all Of which
were filed with her society friends. The
success of the undertaking was SO
marked and Miss Ingersoll's pleasure so
great that she decided to keep the COM
pany together and to give performances
for her own amusement. So she pro-
duced comic opera in the various cities
of the state, travelling to and from New
Haven by special train.-New York
