Girls Who study Abroad.

Varina Anne Davis, the youngest
daughter of Jefferson Davis, in her
second article upon 1.-THE American
Girl Who Studies Abroad in the
March Ladies Home Journal, makes
a strong plea for American training
for American girls. She maintains
that TO a woman instructed exclusive
ly In European schools, the monarch
ical system is usually very dear;
nurt.red on the devine right OF kings
as an unanswerable hypothesis, and
dazzled by glimpses of court splendor,
she often learns to look upon a repub b.
lican form Of government as q crude
expedient Of a people In the tranci-
ton state between barbarism and
monarchy. Her brain is filled with
the gorgeous pageants of great kings
and suburb c%onquerors, that defile In
glittering procession through the his.
tory of older nations, but alas! she
stumDles over the battle of New Or
leans, and is not quite sure whether
it was Washington or General Grant
who commanded. Here the resour-
ces of her own country are simply re-
presented to her mind by q great
pink or yellow spot on the map of
North American, the whole continent
being drawn in her atlas on no longer
q scale than that devoted to some
French reimbursement or Swiss IAN.
ton. She may If exceptionally well
informed, be instructed that the In.
dams do not depredate the suburbs
of New York, or the buffelo roam
Over the thoroughfares of Chicago;
but che will, nevertheless, learn &c
look upon her countrymen and wo.
men through some such spectacles az
Dickens wore when he wrote his
american Notes." She will expect
bombast instead of elegance, and
brag gadocio for merit. o. course, an
intelligent girl will repair these de.
ficiencies by subseqC n study of mer
and books; but study as she NAV. tn,

Vegetation on Coral Islands.

The way in which vegetation is
first established on ceral islands is
described by Chamises q distinguish

Kotzebue in his voyages round the
world, thus: when the reef is of
such q height that 1t remains almost
dry at low water the corals leave off

and fragments of coral, united by

and included in it are 600 lots on

out the limits adjoining Lakeside,
subdivided into 10 acre lots; at
Calaveras 6S41 q acres, timber, sand,

building on this property is the
pride of Houston street. 1t is per

while originally intended for office
rooms so attractive in its suites of
rooms that Mr.. MaCkey has been
persuaded to furnish many of them,
and they are occupied as rapidly as
they can be made ready for occu-
pants. These rooms elegantly
furnished, steam heated, we'll light

matron are i'll great demand, par
ticularly as there is an excellent
restaurant in the basement. The
most perfect ventilation is provided,
the area of glass is immense in pro-
portion to the floor and wall area,
most ample provisions are made
for fire escape, and with a freproof
structure and stand pipe for fire

and persistency that knows no
such word as fail, Mr.. Mackey be-
gins to see the reward ofhis labors,
and that promise of a serene old
age relieved from the distractions
of an uphill fight against fortune to
which business ability and energy
and integrity has so fully entitled
him.

Yesterday the gang was engaged in

interest. He found himself frequently
in front of saloons where he had been

the eyes of a number of his old associates

He stood it for while, and then he be-
gan to sulk, and finally concluded not to
do any more shoveiing. 1t was noticed
in the afternoon that the big fiddler was
not out with the gang, and inquiry of the
officers in charge developed the fact that

OUR COUNTRY.
A Discourse on Its Heroes and Its
History.
Rev. E. r. Ollie Entertains a Large
Audience With Lecture and
Stereopticon Views.

The Sixth-street Methodist Church was
quite well filled last evening to hear Rev.
E. X. Dille's lecture on "Our Country
Its Heroes and History" Owing to the
number of stereopticon views shown
about 200-the speaker had to abbreviate
his remarks greatly, and did not under
take to deliver connected discourse or
lecture, but briefly summed UP the i'm
portant incidents suggested by the pict-
ures as they were depicted on the canvas
DR.. Ollie prefaced the illustrations and
lecture by stating that the impression had
somehow gone abroad that he was to
sing. He wished to have it understood
that this was mistake-he did not in
tend to sing. II anyone was disappointed
beyond endurance by this announce
ment they were offered the opportunity
to withdraw.
He said: Il am always saddest when I
sing, but am not half as sad as other
people are at that time"
The first scene thrown upon the can
vas was picture OF Plymouth Rock, as
it was at the time of the landing Of the
Pilgrim fathers from the Mayfiower.
The lecturer made some eloquent and
patriotic remarks upon the incidents re-
called to memory, and repeated portion
OF Mrs. HemanS' famous poem, COM
mencing, 1.-The breaking waves dashed
high, on storm and rock-bound coast"
Then followed descriptions of Bunker
Hill Monument, Washington Monu-
ment, Fanueil Hall, the Cradle of Libirty.
Old South Church, Boston Common.
Liberty Bell and many scenes recalling
the revolutionary period of our country's
history.
After this series came many views of
naval and military scenes of the REBEL
ion, battle scenes on land and sea. Union
and Confederate Generals, interspersed
with plantation and humorous views of
camp life, etc.
Among the battle scenes the capture of
Fort Donelson was wildly portrayed
showing the struggle of Grants troops at
the rebel breastworks. 1t was at this
battle that General Grant first uttered his
famous ultimatum, unconditional sur
render" and enforced its acceptance upon
the enemy.
The lecture was very interesting
throughout, and was an attractive and
instructive method of recalling the past
and wildly fixing upon the mind the
great events of our country's history.
During the evening Miss Dunster sang
the '.Star-spangled Banner and Other
patriotic songs, the audience joining in
the chorus.
At the end of the lecture DIR. Ollie re-
quested the audience to join in the ma
tional song, My Country, IT'S of Thee"
which met with ready response, and the
evenings entertainment closed.
Many would have enjoyed a more un-
interrupted discourse from Dr. Ollie, as
he is well-known and eloquent, as well
as a very patriotic speaker

" SOWING AND REAPING."
Stirring Temperance Address by a
Lady Last Evening.
Mrs. Major Scott Talks About What
the People of To-day are sew
ing to Posterity.o

Mrs. Major Scott gave her lecture last
evening in Calvary Church on Sowing
and Reaping; or, What We Give to Pos
terity." She began by showing the Won
derful laws of development in the natural
world-how, after It's kind, all nature is
reproduced; so in the moral world it shall
be, and what we sow we shall most GER
tainly reap. The hope of the nation is
with the children of to-day. From
drinking father come drink sons, and
from the son of a drinking son the sui
eide. We cannot say this sowing is a lit
tie thing. A community in New York
had among them a dirty, ragged little
girl. She was beneath the notice of any
one. What did it matter that she went in
and out among them with no one to care
for her? She grew to womanhood, and
became the prolific mother of prolific
family of two hundred descendants of
thieves, robbers and vagabonds.
The lady said that in their first visit to
mountain town in this State she met Il
remote descendant of this same Margret
1okes. and she was not credit to her
town. What surprising results come from
small beginnings! In 1909 minister and
doctor met TO discuss the question OF
temperance. In the same year they went
to a convention OF men interested in the
question in Saratoga, and the doctor
brought with him his daughter. AS it
was convention of men only, the father
urged his daughter to visit with an aunt
NO, father" she replied. ~ on have
always taught me temperance principles;
now [ want to see what you men will do"
Here the lady remarked that
Temperance convention to-day, with only
one woman present, would be strange
sight. From the union of this daughter
OF the doctor with the son of the minister
came the famous Mother Thompson" as
she is called, who led the procession in
the famous crusade, singing, Give TO
the Winds Thy Fears; Hope and be I'm
dismayed." She has often said, How
little did | think the seed sown would
bear such abundant harvest
Had our Government, said the speaker,
in licensing the liquor traffic, had the
ruin of our children in view, it could not
have made better machinery. Thank
heaven there are States that can live and
thrive without it. You boast that the
revenue puts electricity on our streets;
remember, it puts out the light in many
home; it paves your streets with lasting
stone; remember, it plants thorn in
many mothers heart.
Mrs. Scott has a clear, resonant voice,
and gave a very pleasing address.
Mrs. Scott will give Bible reading in
the rooms of the w. G. Il. L., on Third
street, at P. NJ. to-day, and Major Scott
will lecture in the evening at the Sixth
street NJ. L. Church.
