one OF the three having the highest per-

got the required percentages is said to
be much above the average. A peCu-
Iiarity Of the returns is that only one
Young lady got above 20 per cent, Miss
Katie G. Padden, and she got in on
very slight margin. There were several
Young ladies in the class. Other ex-
aminutions will be held at regular in

Eashion,s Echoes.

White is q prevailing color of the season,
and black. also very fashionable, is espec-
tally suitable for women who are no longer
In their first youth.
The colored drill and brown holland class
of dress, with shirt and sailor hat, are now
prominent.
One is beginning to grow trife tired OF
black satin and lace insertion as trimmings.
Radiating lines of ribbon starting from
the waist, near together and brought down
to within few inches of the hem, where
each ended in small bow, formed the
unique and charming trimming of a. young
girls dress in blue and pink shot chiffon.
Some of the dotted colored muslins are
made up over silk of contrasting color.
Skirts are narrower and less triangularin
form. Many first rate dressmakers, too,
have given up trimmings 1t is chiefly mus
lin gowns that are frilled and founced.

One hot day in July little boy and
little girl were out upon a lake gathering
water lilies. AS fast as they picked them
out of the water they would pull the lilies
apart, carelessly throwing the white petals
In the water and scattering the broken
pieces of stem. They were SO absorbed in
their work of destroying the flowers that
they did not hear q conversation which was
going ON upon the bank near them. Buff
they had listened this Is what they would
have heard. 1t was frog conversation,
but frogs can talk very well sometimes:
"Oh, dear" said the first frog, "how sor-
ry am to have our beautiful summer
home taken away That large lily which
the little girl has just picked was the one
upon which always swing my little frogs
TO sleep on hot evenings"
YES" moaned the other frog sympa-
thetically, 'and that lily which you see the
little boy pulling to pieces is the one on
which / always hop TO eat my dinner. 1t
was so high above the water and so dry
that could enjoy eating nice weed there
without fear of the water washing it away"
IF only those two children were going
to take the flowers home to their m;<lma,"
said the first frog, II should not have cared
80 much. But, see! They have torn the
beautiful lilies apart and are throwing
them in the water. Alas for my poor little
cradle Alas for my poor little frogs!'
".And alas for my dinner tablet Poor
lovely lilyl There go its leaves floating by"

Things Told About snails.

There are over 1000 species Of snals, and
they are found in all parts of the world.
Some are even smaller than pinhead,
while others, in France and Italy for in
stance, are cultivated for food and are
large enough to make n good mouthful.
Snails are vegetarians and have jaws and
tongues OF sawlike edge, the number of
points on each running into the thousands.
On the approach of cold weather the snail
throws film over the mouth of its shell,
which tigbtens like n drumhead AS IL
becomes colder other films are added ON the
plan OF storm windows.

Bees and birds court the society of man
that is, they seek the locality where fields
and gardens abound, for they fare better
when human industry extorts from the soil
the products upon which they subsist.
A Maine bee culturist says it is the rarest
thing in the world to find bees away from
the settlements or from openings where
flowers grow. II is in the small patches OF
forest they are oftenest found and generally
not far from the edge of the woods. IL is
the same with birds. There are no song
birds in the northern Maine wilderness and
scarcely anything that can be called bird
life. Birds cluster around towns and vii

The hottest region on the earth's surface
is on the southwestern coast OF Persia. on
the border of the Persian gulf, judging by
the following from an exchange:
For 40 consecutive days in the months
of July and August the mercury has
been known to stand above 100 degrees In
the shade night and day, and to run up
as high as 130 degrees in the middle Of the
afternoon. At Bahrein, in the center OF the
most torrid part Of this most torrid belt, as
though IL were natures intention to make
the place as unbearable as possible, water
from wells is something unknown. Great
shafts have been sunk to depth OF 100, 200,
800 and even 500 feet, but always with the
same result. no water. This serious draw
back notwithstanding, comparatively
numerous population contrives to live
there, thanks to copious springs which
burst forth from the bottom of the gulf
more than mile from the shore.
"The water from these springs is OBJ
tanned in a most curious and novel man.
ner. 'Machadores,' whose sole occupation
is that of furnishing the people of Bahrein
with the life giving fluid, repair to that
portion of the gulf where the springs are
situated and bring away with them hum
dreds of skin bags full Of the water each
day. The water of the gulf where the
springs burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep,
but these 'machadores' (divers) manage
to fill their goatskin sacks by diving to the
bottom and holding the mouths of the
bags over the fountain jets; this, too, with
out allowing the salt water of the gulf to
mix with it. The source of these subma-
rine fountains is thought to be in the hills
of Osmond, 400 or 900 miles away. Being
situated at the bottom of the gulf, it is a
mystery how they were ever discovered,
but the fact remains that they have been
known since the dawn of history"
