Mount Vernon. now Columbia's shrine,
Where her illustrious patriot lies.
Her tears with thankfulness combine
A Nations heart ii bids her rise;
Her Star of Liberty to shine,
And brighten all the threatening skies.
Flow on Potomac to the sea,
With dirges on Mount Nernon's shore;
Upon thy waters may there be
a peaceful craft for evermore,
Whose bells shall toll in memory
OF one SO great In Freedoms lore.
Revered be Washington by all,
And loyal beat each heart to-day,
AS if to answer bugie call,
When lurking foes would cause dismay,
Guard well Columbia Guard her all;
Let not her glorles fade away.
Salute her flag; let every hand,
Upraised, its loyalty attest
To this our loved or native land
The land OF every land the best.
So may her triumphS still be grand,
Her powers OF knowledge ever best
May ever child. with gladstone heart,
reel now the thrill. The Patriot knows.
Dare TO do right; act well its part;
Ever for Freedom against its foes.
Liberty learning how dear thou art;
How much TO her heroes Columbia owes

The PearI OYSTER.

It has been found by Seville-Kent that
the pearl oyster reaches maturity in Il
shorter time than formerly supposed.
He thinks that under favorable condi-
tions period not exceeding three years
suffices for the shell to attain TO the
marketable size of eight or nine inches
in diameter, and that heavy shells of five
pound or six-pound weight per pair may
be the product of five years. growth.
Ice artificially manufactured by the use
of chemical mixtures is not a late idea by
any means, the invention dating back to
1888.

Season.
proved.

The break in the water company's
main on Congress street Saturday morn
ing as called the attention OF the direc-
tors to the whole Congress street line OF
pipe. This pipe is relic Of the original
works, and was put in in 1868. 1t is
made of tin wrought iron tube, both
lined and covered with cement The idea
was that the cement, having perfe ct
affinity for the iron, would preserve it
from rusting, and that thus iron and
cement mutually Strengthening and pre-
serving one another, the pipe might be
strong and eternal. The pipe has not
come quite up to expectations. although
it has done very we'll. AT the meeting
yesterday the directors voted to buy a
mile of 16-inch iron pipe to relay Con-
gress street from High street to. Wash
ington street. The work will not begin
until next year.

g A meeting of the school committee
was held yesterday af ternoon, there be-
ing present Messrs. Brownson, McDon-
aid, Jones, Allan, Vose, Hall and Sup
erintendent Lord. In the absence of
Mayor Baxter, Mr.. Brownson was made
chairman pro tenn.
The question of football came up in
formally, and there were some express
sions against the way in which the game
interferes with the studies OF the play
ers.
Mr.. Mcdonald thought the time was
soon coming when football as now
played would be prohibited in the
schools. He did not think the principal
and superintendent of the High School
should exc1 Sc any student to allow him
to play football or indulge in any attn
letic sports.
Others of the board thought the mat
ter one that was proper to be left with
the teacher. There seemed to be dis
pos ition to overlook any little favors
that might have been shown the boys to
enable them to put up good games with
Bangor.
Mr.. Mcdonald said he did not wish to
interfere with the present series OF games
but he thought that very soon the board
should take this matter up. The game
as played Saturday was not a proper
sport, and all the school boards in New
England ought to join in putting down
or modifying thessport.
Mr.. Jones, the new member of the
board, said he should not allow his boy
to play football. but now that the boys
were into it he wanted them to show up
well with Bangor.
Mr.. Mcdonald did not want the Port
land boys defeated by Bangor, but he
believed that sparring exhibitions were
less dangerous than the game as now
played.
Mr.. Brownson said that football did
not interfere seriously with the studies.
as was shown by the fact that nine out
of ten of the football players RANKED
above ninety.
The discussion was postponed without
any final action.
Miss Ophel1aA. Grover, who is serious
~ ill, resigned hersposition at the Butler
school. The boardssvoted to accept. the
resignation, at the same time expressing
formally the sympathies of the board.
The res ignation of Miss Ella +. Coe, OF
the Brackett school, was received. to
take effect at the close of the term. The
resignation was accepted.
Ten dollars were appropriated for the
purchase of geological specimens for the
High School.
1t was vote6 that there be no sessions
of the schools on December 81 and Janu'

The City Auditor notified sthe school
committee that the account for school
books is overdrawn about $1400.
Miss Norton's request that pupils in

in the teaching was denied. 1t was IN
derstood, however, that such pupils
could visit the scools at any time.
