Recitation for Chlldren's Day,

This fragrant month Of June
III nature Is In tune.
The birds sing sweeter lays
In richer notes Of praise;
So beautiful the DAYS.
They linger long before night shadows fall.
Then early morning light
Tints with its rays so bright.
The trees, the flowers. the sky;
TIL each hour seems 10 vie
With those that have gone by,
In bringing wealth of happiness to all.
This month with roses crowned,
Filled with melodious sound,
This month OF all the year
That brings the brightest cheer,
l. to the children dear,
Not only for its birds and blossoms gay,
But crowning other Joys,
1t brings TO girls and boys
A Sabbath of their own,
And one that now is known
In almost every zone.
And welcomed everyw here As Chidren's Day

instruction in cooking has been given to more
than 1000 girls in the past twelve years. 1t
was in existence long before the public schools
took up the work of teaching cooking and the
example of its early successes did much to
bring about the introduction Of the new work
in the public schools. For many years classes
from public schools were sent to this cooking
school for special instruction. As facilities
have increased in the public schools this school
has been relieved from these extra burdens and
is able to pursue its special work among the en-
tirely neglected classes Of the children. The
work of the public schools has in no wise
superseded the work of this school. How
ever extended system of public
instruction may become, private enterprise
is always needed in order to '.gather up the
fragments that nothing be lost. The '.residuum''
of the very destitute which Gen. Booth talks SO
much about exists in great part because there
is a residuum of neglected children growing up
to inefficiency and consequent idleness and
vice. To get hold of these in time and direct
their course toward skillful and helpful indus
try is the work of this mission school The
personal attention and friendly watchfulness
which the teacher of the public schools cannot
give is here provided.
During the past winter more than 200 girls
have attended the classes of this mission school
They are in great part children who for one
reason or another are not able to attend the

class, besides girls who are able to pay for their
instruction These girls are not all Of a mar
rihgeable age, but they will be and it is quite
evident that there are not enough to so around
among all the young men of this city.
The cooking school and its pupils should be
an object of interest to young men and also to
the community in general The gospel of good
cooking has been preached by social reformers
and others with so much force that its import
ance is generally recognized.
This mission, as its name implies, seeks to
reach those who are unable TO avail themselves
OF the advantages offered by the public schools.
Some Of the children live in alleys and what
ever knowledge they have of the art of prepar-
ing food for the human stomach is gained
mainly from haphazard experience in their

Origin of the Word Caucus.

From Harper's Young People.
Do you like politics? II you do, you have
read much about ''caucuses" and more about
BOSSES" About 1724 Samuel Adams, the
father of Samuel Adams Of revolutionary fame,
and score or so of others used to meet together
in hall at the north end Of Boston, where the
ship yards and rope walks were. This club was
destined ito lay plans for introducing certain
persons into places Of trust and power" 1t was
largely composed of men in the ship-building
industry and hence was termed 1.-The Calkers'
Club" Thus arose one of the best-known terms
in politics-caucus.
In the year 1865 John Adams made an entry
in his diary, which shows that the change from
calkers to caucus had already taken place. He
wrote: This day learned that the Caucus
Club meets at certain times in the garnet Of
Tom DAVIS, the adjutant of the Boston regi-
ment. There they smoke tobacco until you
cannot see from one end Of the garnet to the
other; there they drink flip, suppose; and
there they choose q moderator, who puts ques-
tons to the vote regularly, and selectmen, as
SCISSORS, collectors, wardens, fire wards and rep
resentatives are regularly chosen before they
are chosen in the town"

DO PLANTS HAVE BRAINS?
A conscientious Nevada Judge.


conscientious judge, adorned the Nevada
bench. In his court a suit involving the title
to some mining ground was pending between
two companies. In another part of the district
the judge had some claims which were looked
upon as mere wildcat" He had for year
been trying vainly to raise money to open his
claims. He had incorporated with 49, 900
shares, and held them at 81 each, with the un-
Outstanding that 20 per cent of the money re-
ceived for stock should be set aside as a work
ing capital But nobody would buy. One
night quite late the judge heard a soft knock
on his chamber door. 1t was the president of
the company that was plaintiff in the mining
suit.
II was looking at your claims over on the east
side, judge" he said, land / believe they are

judge cheerfully sold him $4,000 worth.
Il suppose, suggested his honor, ''that this
transaction had better be kept secret for the
present" -
"Of course" agreed the litigant
few days later the jurist met the superin-
tendent Of the defendant company and talked
stock to him. giving the opinion that il he
bought S10, 900 worth he would do well. The
superintendent saw the point and invested.
The judge deposited in bank 600 of the
$40 900 to his own account and $4,000 to the
credit Of his company.
Judgment was given for plaintiff, and the SUI
perintendent Of the losing company went wild
and declared everywhere that the Judge was q
bribe-taking thief. His honor presently sent
for both men and informed them that big de-
post of ore had been struck in. his mine. He
was therefore able to pay dividend of 81 q
share, and handed each Of the astonished in
vestors check for $4,000 In few DAYS the
mine was sold for s2Oo, 900 and the judge hon.
orably gave each Of his two stockholders

After this the class and teacher went into the

CULINARY "oUIz"
From the opening question at $50 to the test
ing Of the product at $50 the interest was
thoroughly well sustained. At the conclusion
Of the lesson the girls were urged to practice at
home what they had learned. and two Of them
we're detailed TO stay and wash the dishes, clean
up and put things away.
So great is the interest of the scholars that
one class of white girls came all last winter
from South Washington. Their parents were
afraid to allow them to go SO far alone, and
especially TO cross the railroad tracks but a
kindly young lady gathered them together and
went with them to and from their lesson every
week during the whole winter.

of charities will not hereafter recommend this

enterprise is educational rather than charitable,
and that the school will be more independent
and prosperous lift turns resolutely from all
thought of pleading for public subsidy. After
a careful consideration the managers Of the
school agree with him in this view. An in
crease of about $500 in the amount Of the
annual private subscriptions will give the
school an adequate revenue for the work it has
undertaken. OF this amount about S40O must
