MRS. ALICE B. BARNARD. must be included
Mrs. Alice BARLEY Barnard, who has
lately produced some dining room pieces,
SO called, of extraordinary merit.
Mrs. Barnard is the daughter of ex-
Governor BARLEY of Ohio and niece Of
General Sherman. During the Grant
administration she was social favorite
in Washington, and she has since studied
one year in Brussels under the celebrated
Capionic and four years in Paris under
the best still life masters of the day. All
her productions yet put on exhibition
are in still life, and she has made no at
tempt to follow the lead Of Rosa Bon
heur. Her mother was not only possess
ed Of great artistic talent. butwas witty
and intellectual, quite up to the stand
ard Of her family, the Shermans. She
was the sister Of the general and senator.
Mrs. Barnard has been visiting in Col
orado, but will soon open studio in
New York, where her best productions
are now on view. One of these repre-
sents basket Of pomegranates spilled
upon straw. the other cut of rare beef
thanked by vegetables and bottles Of
wine. The subjects are SO simple and
commonplace that they scarcely seem
fit material for art, but the rich delicacy
of the coloring, the holiness Of touch
and solidity Of the painting make them
remarkable. Simple subject as a piece
Of beef may seem, very few painters can
present it with combination of beauty
and faithfulness.
It is in still life. too, that the feminine
quality of any artistic work is most read
lily detected, as the action of living things
tends to obscure the peculiarities Of sex.
Mrs. Barnard is not only vigorous as a
painter, bat in social life as well, and is
a charming woman, and her personality
seems to shine in some Of her productions.

After the dinner President J. H. Files
called the company to order, and after a
few apt remarks on the progress made
by Colby in recent years, introduced
President Whitman. Mr.. Whitman said
that since his residence at Waterville he
had come to understand the college in a
way that gave him great respect and Tx
ing for it. The spirit of the institution
was one Iof progress allied with wise
conservatism. The new and improved
gymnasium had been built up beside
the old memorial hall; the new men on
the faculty had taken the places beside
the old.
Speaking of the. university extension
movement President Whitman said the
colleges were now waking up to the du-
ties which they owed to the community
at large, and in the future at Colby an
effort was to be maintained to share the
advantages of the institution with as
large number of persons as possible.
President Whitman paid a high trib
ute to the students, to their manliness
and feeling of responsibility. But the
increase of the number of students had
brought new problems which must be
met.
The college is now doing excellent
work, work that can with confidence be
matched with the work of any similar in
stitution.
President Whitman spoke at length
and in an interesting way of the rela-
lions of the college to it's fitting schools
to the churches, and to the people in gen
eral.
Mrs. Mary E. Carver, of Augusta, the
first woman graduate of Colby, was next
introduced. Mrs. Carver presented a
paper on the Literature of the Fifteenth
Century," a scholarly discussion of the
effects of the Renaissance upon letters.
Miss Nellie S. Brakeman spoke of the
new dormitory which is to be erected for
the uses of the women's department of
the college.

DREAMING FoR CHICKENS. Two tramps were iourneying toward Boston the other day, and when in the neighborhood of the Blue Hills they climbed a rocky eniinence in order to obtain Q good view of the sur rounding country.

 It so happened that a sportsman was crow shooting ill the woods below, and a short time after the uamps were fast asleep had fired into a passing flock.

 DO WOMEN KNOW !

That a squeeze of lemon improves scrambled eggs. Itshould be added while they are cooking.
 That baking soda makes an extra fine tooth powder? It keeps the gums hard and rosy and makes the teeth brilliantly white.
 That silk handkerchiefs and ribbons should be washed in salt and water. and irored while hot, to make them look their freshest.
 That newspapers, paper bags and cloves are just as beneficial in keeping away moths as are the i'll smelling compounds that are offered.
 That the sleeves of mems coats should be filled with newspapers folded flat. and the pockets have a small handful of cloves put in them before packing away.
 That rubbing the teeth with a fresh strawberry makes them white, and crush ing one against the palate leaves a delic- ious fresh taste in the mouth.
 That precipitation of the feet may be help,d by bathing with hot water and ammonia. aud after drying them dust with d powder composed of one ounce each of tale powder and oxide of zinc and 10 grains of salicylic acid.
 That roses which have been carried or worn at an evenings entertainment and have dropped will revive greatly if the stems are cut off a little, then placed in water which is almost boiling, letting them stand in about 10 minutes, and then removing to cold water.
 That care should be exercised ill pack ing away winter millinery, since carpet bugs delight in feasting on birds wings and other millinery ornaments. Itshould be put into perfect boxes, which should be sealed air-tight by pasting strips of newspaper about the cover. That winter dresses should be carefully brushed, the arm shields reversed, folded evenly, each one separately, wrapped in newspapers, and placed in the packing chest or trunk with good sprinkling of fresh cloves between them. The news papers should be pasted securely to keep the moths from entering.
 That cream colored Spanish lace can be cleaned and made to look like new by rub ping it in dry flour. Rub as if washing in water, and then take it out of doors and shake all the flour out. If not per- fectly clean, repeat the rubbing in a little more clean flour. The flour must be very thoroughly shaken from the lace. That in making up skirts of all sorts, except those of rigid materials, it must not he forgotten that only bias stay fab- ric should be used. It is out of the ques- tion to keep skirt in perfect shape if the seams are stayed with tapes. In spite of all care they will sag on either side of the tape, thus making the skirt into a series of scallops.
 That it is a science of itself to pack the waists of dresses, particularly when they are adorned, as now, with bristling bre- telles and immense sleeves lined with crinoline. If nicety is more of an object than room in the trunk, it well to take tissue paper, crumpling it, and placing it under and inside of these troublesome trimmings, thus greatly protecting them.
