interesting Addresses Delivered to tho
Pupils of NIelroae School.

Rev. w. G. Campbell delivered very
interesting address to the scholars of
Melrose school Friday evening on Mex
leo. He made it all the moro instruc-
tive by presenting some relics and SOU
venirs of his recent trip to that country.
This is one of o series of lectures tina t
has been provided by the PRINCIPAL of
Melross school, Miss Lillian A. Eckloff,
to entertain and instruct the children.
The idea of having addresses delivered
of an Instructive and entertaining char
acter by persons of distinction was
adopted "a. short time ago by Miss Eek
loft as an experiment and has proved so
satisfactory in elevating the sentiment
and cultivating the minds of the child
rem that it will DO continued as re-
gular Friday afternoon exercise and
will doubtless be followed by all the
schools.
Miss Eckloff has shown q great deal
of ingenuity in devising methods for
advancing the interests of the pupils,
and most of her experiments have been
adopted. John Il. Massie commented
very favorably upon this and other
m ethods which have been introduced.
The recent address Of Rev. Mr. AGREE
was of very high order, and much APP
preciated by all who heard it. The
next address will be delivered by Rev.
Mr.. Hammer on Friday afternoon, April
IA, at the Melrose school, and will he
followed by an address on the succeed
ing Friday by Rev. Mr.. Garrison.
Other addresses will follow in order
each Friday afternoon.

the average observatory where men
are employed, it IS obviously imprac-
ticable for women 70 engage in night
observing.
/ The work in which women take part
at the Harvard observatory may be di-
vided into three classes:
1. Computing, based on the work Of
Others. For twenty years some women
have always been included in the corps
Of Harvard computers.
?. Original deductions mot necessarily
star work. Work Of this kind has been
I carried on chiefly by special students of
the Harvard annex. In this class of
work must be named longitude cam
paign-probably the only longitude
campaign ever conducted wholly by
women, whereby Miss Byrd and Miss
Whitney determined the precise differ
ence in longitude between the Smith
college and Harvard college observa-
tories. Miss Byrd is now director of
the Smith college observatory, and Miss
Whitney is Maria MitchelFs successor
at Vassar. In this second class of work
may be included also the making of a
standard catalogue of the stars near the
North Pole by Miss Anna Winlock. the
daughter of former directC~ of the
Harvard observatory.
3. The Henry Draper memorial work,
and four other investigations, less ex-
tensive, though similar in kind to those
provided for by the Draper fund.
The Draper memorial Investigations
form one of the most noteworthy de-
partments of the Harvard observatory,
and they are carried on by women
under the general direction of Prof. f.
c. Pickering, the director of the observ-
atory. Moreover the work is support
ed wholly by a woman, Mrs. Anna
Palmer Draper, of New York, in honor
of her husband, DIR. Henry Draper, who
was a pioneer in the work of photo
graphing stellar spectra.
Although in practical astronomy the
field for woman's work is wide one,
the number of paid positions for work
ers in this field is naturally limited.
Yet the success of the Harvard expert
ment of training a corps of women as
sistants has been so marked, that it is
to be hoped that other observatories
may follow this example As the re-
sources of the various observatories are
increased by the liberality of people
interested, like Mrs. Draper and Miss
Bruce, in encouraging the development
of astronomy, it may not be too much
to expect to see larger numbers of wom-
en- among the observatory assistants.

DO yon know what it means
This twining Of greeFs
Round the silent lannon's mouth;
This strewing with flowers the grass grown
grave
This decking with garlands the statues brave;
This Haunting Of flags,
All in tatters and rags;
This marching and singing;
These bells all ringing;
These faces grave and these faces gay;
This talk of the Blue and this talk Of the Gray;
y the North and the South, Decoration Day.
Not simply show time. boys and girls,
Is tins day Of falling flowers;
Not pageant play,
Nor a holiday
OF flags and floral bowers:
II is something more than the day that starts
War memories a throb in veteran hearts;
For. across the years,
To the hopes and fears,
To the days Of battle.
OF roar and Of rattle
To the Past that now seems 50 far awav
Do the sons Of the Blue and the sons Of the
Gray
Gaze-hand clasping hand-Decoration Day.
For the wreck and the wrong Of it. boys and
girls,
For the terror and loss. as well,
Our hearts must hold
A regret untold
As we think Of those who fell
But their blood. on whichever side they fought.
Remade the Nation and Progress brought
We forget the woe.
For we live and know
That the fighting and signing
The falling and dying.
We're but steps toward the Future-the Mar

Adown which the sons Of the Blue and the

Look, with love and with pride, Decoration Day.

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY.
The Example of sweet Womanliness Set by
Young Chicago Indy.

1ounE NhlchgO Lady.
An example of sweet womanliness
and helpful sympathy comes from Chi
cago by way of an indianapolis CORE
spondent who does not wish to be
known in the case; Miss Fannie Gary. "a
young and wealthy Chicagoan. worked
two weeks last summer in a tailor shop
in the city of the worlds fair Mary
Anderson. poor girl, was one of the
regular toilers in the shop and Miss
Gary, who knew her, noticed that she
seemed to be rapidly running into de-
cline. Acting on a generous impulse,
she proposed sending the sick girl
to pleasant summer resort to be recu-
perated.
But, oh, dear said the poor girl,
Il can't go; the proprietor will not
let me leave unless some one takes
my place, and there is no one to do
that"
''Oh, yes there is" said Miss Gary;
you go and I'll do your work
Miss Anderson went to the country
and Miss Gary went to the tailor shop.
For two weeks every morning at six
O'Clock she lett her pleasant home, clad
in plain black dress, and joined the
other workers in the hot and stuffy
shop. All day she stitched, and reached
home at seven o'clock in the evening
taking an hour at noon for lunch, and
when her principal returned rested,
rosy and cheerful, the beautiful daugh-
ter of Judge Gary doubtless felt abund-
antly paid for her unique and practical
sympathy Free Press.

FROM WELDON.

The Evangelist W. P. Fife reached
here on Saturday last and commenced the
first service of his meeting On Sunday
morning at the Tabernacle. He gave US
his program $50 TO speak for the meeting.
There were about $50 people at the morn
ing service and about SEQ at the afternoon
and night service. On Monday morning
nearly all the stores and five bar rooms
were closed. The congregation was es-
timated at l, 900. On Tuesday night,
people who were never seen at church
before were there and the word of God
was preached with such power and earn
estness that everybody was held spell
bound during the time and we believe
the community will be moved for Christ
as never before.
Rev. W. B. Spillman is with US again
after a years ministry in the eastern
part of the State.
We were glad to meet at the cars on
yesterday the Rev. Mr.. Morton, who
came down full of the spirit of Christ to
do what he could during the Fife meeting.

work. Business is dull yet some cotton
