A New York daily paper, taking up the
idea conveyed in Flammarion's exciting
novel, omega: The Last Days of the
World" has interviewed a number of the
leading men in all professions as to what
they would do if science were to predict
to. morrow that the end of the world
would arrive within the next thirty days.
The nsWer are various and curious,
and heighten the interest which is felt in
the second part of Flammarion's great
novel, which appears in the May Cosmo-
politan. 1t is a question which everyone
will find interesting to ask of himself
What would you do if within six weeks
the end Of the world were certain ?
Probably no novel which has ever ap-
peared in an American magazine has
been more deliberately illustrated by more
distinguished artists. Laurens, Saunier,
Vogel, Meaulle, Rochegrosse, Geradin
and Chovin all contribute to the expla-
nation of the text.
4 clever story of another kind is that
of the new English novelist, G-lbert Par
ker, in the same number. american
Society in Paris is an article of another
kind, but one which will interest all who
have had occasion to make even a short
residence in the French capital. The
Cosmopolitan scores a success in produc-
ing in its May number, almost simulta-
neously with the daily papers, an elabor-
ate description of Professor Gray's mar
vellous invention, the Telautograph,
which r~eproduces the handwriting, or
the work of the artist, simultaneously,
thousands of miles distant from the place
where the writer or artist is sitting. Mr..
HOwells' purpose in "The Traveller from
Altruria" is, month by month, becoming
more evident, and is now receiving wide
attention at the hands of the critics all
over the world.

The three iron pipe bridges, so long expected have arrived, and are being erected in thier respective places. One at the depot near F. J. Andrews black smith shop and two on the Bee brook road to New Pre- ston. Both abutment, for the one at the depot are entirely new being built of stone from the Mine Hill quarry at Roxbury. The bridge is wide enough to allow teams to pass each other while crossing it. Although it is the opinion of some that it is not hand some enough, but in view of economy the bridge will be satisfactory to the masses, as it combines the latter quality with strenghth and durability.

AN ENDEANOR ENTERTAINMENTS,
 Although the severe storm of last Thursday prevented many from attend ing the entertainment given by the Chri1.s ian Endeavor society, over 100 wef~ present. The lecture room was very prettily decorated with flowers and vines under the supervision of Herbert Smith, chairman of the sociarcommittee. To this committee much of the success of the entertainment was. due. The pro- gram was long and varied one. The opening chorus, Jack and Jill, :" was rem dered by all the workers. A dialogue called "A premature proposal" in four acts, was very amusing and the parts were we'll taken by the Misses Sarah and Grace Hawley, Elsie Nichols and Her bert Smith. A duet by Mrs Hollister Sage and Mir Gilman was sweet thing, creditably rendered. The three tableaux, "Wedding scenes,'' ''The old bachelor who lived by himself,' and 'tScenes in a country station,' were good. Other num- bers on the program were solo, also a reading by Mrs Sage, a speech by Her. bert Smith and an organ solo by Miss May Reid. All who helped get up the entertainment worked willingly and faithfully and deserve much credit. Nearly $20 was cleared.

OUR POPULAR ACADEMY.

It seems that the class upstairs in the Academy are going to be even better provided for this year, than last. A good graded course is privilege that cannot be to highly esteemed, but the younger pupils of the academy have ad- vantages besides of being in the same school with the higher grades, of the special teachers and so forth. No boy or girl who has started in the work here can well afford to lose any considerable portion of time in a course that is graded.
