A queer smile played over the face Of the
old sailor who happened to be in a remin-
iscent mood. Having lighted his pipe, he
said:

one has perfect control over his
nerves. The rod was placed at the
very uppermost part of the body of
the tree, where the two highest
branches reach out into the air in
rather peculiar shape. 1t took 147
feet of wire to do the work, 125 feet
of it being on the tree and the rest
on the ground. In making prepara-
ton to climb the tree it required Sc
feet of ladder before the first branch
was reached from which an ascent
could be made, and it was no light
task to pull up that seventy-two
pounds of wire through the branches
of the tree to the very top. The
ligh thing rod has three points on it,
and it is thought that it will serve
as a conductor for the electricity
which might otherwise, in time,
prove disastrous to the tree That
part of the Old Pine which was torn
by the lightning has been tarred
over with view to arresting decay.
Mr.. Underwood describes the view
from the top of the tree as something
grand, and well worth seeing. The
atmosphere was very smoky on the
day he and Mr.. Smith put the rod
up, but they got splendid outlook
on the surrounding country.
1t should be said in this connection
that two boys-distinguished them
selves not long ago by climb
ing the Old Pine and putting a flag
at its top. The method they
adopted was that one Of them climbed
maple tree close by and then drop
ped from one Of its high branches on
to branch of the Pine, letting down
rope by which his companion
assembled that tree. 1t was a daring
feat for boys, and one which but few
older ones are level-headed enough
to undertake.

A Large Gathering Friday Night.
The 10Th annual meeting of the
Alumni Association was held in the
Y. NJ. c. A. building Friday evening.
Prof. James F. Colby of Dartmouth
College, president of the associa-
ton, presided. The old board of Of
hcers were elected to serve another
year and are as follows:
President, Prof ]. F. Colby, Hanover,
n. H.

Mrs. Chas. P. Carpenter, Miss Marion

After the business meeting follow
ed an hour of addresses and greet
ings. The secretary then read the
following letter Of regret from Chas.
F. Mathe wson of New York:
I can frankly say that from my ex-
perience since leaving St. Johnsbury, 1
have become more and more convinced
that as an academy and fitting school
ST. Johnsbury has no superiors, and I
was about to say no equal.
The town is large ca ough to furnish all
requisite advantages, and yet not suf-
fciently large to abound in distractions
which take the mind of the student from
his daily work; and in addition to the
natural advantages, there is, among the
good people of St. Johnsbury, a spirit
which is rare, and a munifcence which
has furnished the library, art gallery,
museum and other attractions, which
place that town in the van of any of it's
size that l have ever visited.
And more than all, there is a moral
atmosphere and moral safeguards which
believe are more i'm portant, even, than
the best instruction in books.
have recommended many students to
St. Johnsbury Academy, and l hope to
refer to it many more.
Trusting that another year [ may not
be forbidden the pleasure of meeting the
alumni personally l am, with renewed
regrets, Yours very truly,

THE GRADUATION.
Fifty-Six Young Ladies and Gentlemen
Dismissed With Diplomas.

Fifty-Six Young Ladies and Gentlemen
Dismissed With Diplomas.
A large audience gathered at Music
Hall on Friday forenoon to witness
the closing scene in the history of the
class of '94. 1t was a pretty affair
throughout. Everybody says so,
and what everybody says must be
true. The class motto, plainly legi-
BILE at the rear of the platform, the
class colors in the draperies, pro-
fusion of flowers and ferns, bright
faces and brighter costumes, excel
lent music by the three players OF
the Wulf Fries company, well given
orations and essays, and the presen-
tation of diplomas to SO young gen
tlemen and % young ladies-ail
these things combined to make the
public transfer of another large class
from the immediate care Of the Acad-
envy to membership with the alumni
a very interesting event. Prayer
was offered by Rev. c. H. Merrill,
and the diplomas were presented by
Principal c. E. Putney.
The Latin salutatOry was given
by Frederick P. Lord of Hanover,
who greeted pleasantly all present
teachers, trustees, classmates and
citizens-and expressed appreciation
of courtesies ex tended and help given,
and confidence for the future.
"Mothers in History" was the sub
ject of an honorary essay by Miss
Ellen c. Putney, who spoke of Cor
nelia and Monica. Margaret Beau
fort and Mrs. Wesley as types of
noble motherhood. The speaker
paid tribute to the Christian mother
in general and predicted the rapid
approach of the day when it shall be
recognized that 1.-THE hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules the world"
In an Grafton on Green Noun
tain Boys" Clarence P. Cowles en-
phasized the sterling qualities devel-
oped by close association with the
sturdy hills and beautiful valleys Of
Vermont, and gave the state credit
for producing many noble men who
had made their lfu nee felt at home
and in other states.
Miss Jessie L. Bronson of East
Hardwick discussed Art in Ameri-
ca, referring to the wonderful pro-
gress of art in this country since the
Centennial exhibition in Philadelphia
characterizing American art as re-
fined, healthy and genuine, and ex-
pressing the hope that it may speed
ilv come to be the reflection of all
that is beautiful and noble IN our
national life.
Miss Helen R. Hartman treated
of Fanatics" referring to several
prominent types and the mischief
that they had wrought, AID argued
that absolute devotion to a single
end may mean the most dangerous
criminality or the most wonderful
sainthood.

A DEMAND FOR ICE.

Saturday night last, in commenting
on the excessively warm spell of

COMMENCEMENT.

The Exercises Confinued-The Class of
'o4 Celebrate on the Lawn.
The weather was suspicious, the
attendance good, the lawn brightly
green and inviting, the summer
costumes varied in hue and general
" picturesque-so that the class day
exercises on the Academy grounds last
Thursday afternoon may be pro-
nounced a success. By four O'Clock
the class and its friends, including
quite a number of alumni, were in
place and ready for the programme,
which was taken up promptly.
To Miss Grace NJ. Switser of St.
Johnsbury was assigned the class
essay, the burden of which was an
earnest appreciation of duty's calls
and an exhortation to obey those
calls promptly and cheerfully, in
spite of the allurements of idleness
and pleasure.
The class poem was written and
given by Herbert L. Lyster Of Kirk
dale, P. O., who built his sentiment
upon the class motto-"Non
Praeniun1 Sine Lahore"
The class orator was Harry w.
Clark of Derry, N. H., who urged the
necessity of wise choice of callings
and a persistent effort towards sue
cess when the choice has been made.
Pleasant reference was made to the
school life of the years past, with
graceful tribute to the alma mater.
In the class prophecy, Fred J. Fas~
sett of Waitsfeld introduced his
audience to scenes taking place in
the year 1910, and with more or less
humor set forth the successes and
failures achieved by the different
mem bers of the class. His effort
was enjoyed as all class prophecies
are, and the numerous hits he
made were duly applauded. Part of
the prophecy took the form of
poetry.
The class ode, written by Miss
Jessica NJ. Baker, was sung, and the
company dispersed.
THE CLASS CONCERT.
This occurred on Thursday even
ing and was given by WuIf Fries and
his company. While the audience
was not so large as to ensure great
financial success, the programme
was a fine one and nearly every mum
Der was encored The veteran cello
player was given a cordial greeting
and his artistic manipulation of that
charming instrument delighted all
previous occasions here. Mr..
Stats performances on the clarinet
were those OF an artist and he re-
ceived his share Of the applause; his
playing on the bass clarinet was a
unique feature. Miss Downer' $
work as pianist was graceful and eff
fective, and the audience enjoyed her
very much. Miss Temples readings
were also well received, her humor-
Gus selections especially being well
given
