Work from the Public Schools.

The young folks in the sixth grade
have been writing essays on nature and
+be CALIFORNIAN is permitted to give two
&c these. The subject given by the
teacher was PUSSY Poplar" and the
ESSAYS were cleverly illustrated and we
regret that we cannot reproduce the
Illustrations. Here are the two essays:
WRITTEN BY BESSIE MERRILL.
When the poplar buds begin to open,
the little bro VIII scales part, showing the
end of a pussy poplar" which they
have protected from the winter winds
and snow.
The scholars brought some twigs of the
noplar tree to school and we watched
them grow.
When the scales dropped off they left
q lovely silky pussy" which heightened,
as the DAYS went by, to long catkin.
MIR. ZONES came in one day and saw the
catkin from which, when he touched it,
came shower OF pollen.
He then brought his microscope and
showed us the pollen grains through it.
AT first they looked like tiny beads, but
when he put on the higher lens, which
makes it appear two hundred and sixty
times larger than it really is, they looked
quite large.
Another day he showed us the pistil oil
the abutilon under the microscope. The
pistil was purple and there were little
pollen grains on the stigma.
The pollen grains will make little
passage through the pistil to the ovary
where each tube will enter seed and
make it grow.
The pollen and the pistil do not grow
on the same poplar tree but the wind OF
the bees take the pollen from one tree to
another.
WRITTEN BY HARRY FLINT.
The poplar is cousin of the willow
The blossoms are very much alike.
The buds of the willow and poplar
open along in March We brought some
poplar twigs to school and watched
them open. When they burst theil
waterproof coverings they were small
silky, white balls clinging to the twg
They grew larger daily and began to
lengthen and darken. At last they wer'
very long and hung downwards; they
were now called catkins.
One day while we were singing w
noticed little shower OF golden dust ial
from the twgs. This dust is called
pollen. That afternoon Mr.. Jones cam
over with his microscope, putting few
grains OF pollen under it. He turned OIL
the lens which made it look 81 time
larger. We looked through it, one at {
time 1t looked round, soft, and whit
about as big as piece OF tapioca.
Next he turned on the lens which mad
it look 267 times larger. This time i
looked round, soft, tul OF water, abou
as big as the head of hairpin, whit
and shaded with purple.
Down at the base of the flower Their
is little sack which contains the ovule
or beginnings OF the seeds. Some plant
have ovules OH one plant and pollen OF
another. This is the way with the pop
lar. Bees get the pollen on their legs ant
so carry it 10 another tree.
The pollen sticks to the stigma, after
while the pollen breaks and the lqul'
which is in it runs down tube to tn
ovules where it runs into a seed. Th
two liquids mix together and the see
begins to ripen. The abutilon ha
stamens and pistil in the same flower.

"The Man Who Outlived HIMSELF is
the striking title OF an interesting story
bv A. w. Tourgee, author Of IA Fools

demented condition, is found by strangers
who place him in an asylum, where he is
tenderly cared for until-well, the reader
will not enjoy being told just how the
story comes out. Suffice it to say that
the telling Oft calls for the exercise of
dramatic descriptive power, and that
Judge Tourgee proves fully equal to the
task and gives the reader a very enter
tanning hour. The little volume which
contains this story includes also two
others-"Poor Joel Pike" and "The
Grave Of Tante Angelique," by the same
author, both of which are readable in
deed and the trio will make a desirable
addition to any library. The opening
story draws a vivid picture Of one who,
coming to himself after dozen years and
yet considering himself as good as dead
so far as the world in general and his
relatives in particular are concerned, is
led at last to act contrary to his original
determination, and finds his way into his
own household, which has been Loyalty

OFT IN THE sTILLY NIGHT.

Oft in the stilly night, Ere slumber's chains have bound me. Fond memory brings the light Of other days around me;
 The smile, the tears.
 Of boyhoods years, The words of love then spoken' The eyes that shone,
 Now dimmed and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken. Thus in the stfIly night Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me. When I remember all The friends so linked together I've seen around me fall Like leaves in wintry weather. I feel like one
 Who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted,
 Whose lights are fled,
 Whose garIands dead, And all but he departed, Thus :n the stilly night Ere slunbar's chain has bound me Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me.

A CHURCH AFFAIR.

 San Francisco, Aug. 9.The Chron- icle says: 4 perplexing question has arisen among Protestant Episcopal ians in this country regarding the fu- ture government of the Hawaiian branch of the church. st present the island diocese is in charge Of Bishop Willis of the established church Of England, and has no direct affiliation with the Protestant Episco- pal church Of the United States.
 It is believed, however, among high church authorities that as a result of the annexation of the islands the Episcopalians there will be brought into direct relations with the Ame.i- can church and that the diocese of the Pacific islands will perhaps be merged into the diocese of California.

SUMMARY.

Although somewhat cooler than last week, the temperature has continued high, and being accompanied by more or less cloudiness, more moisture in the atmosphere than is usual in this climate and occasional sand storms, has caused a good deal of discomfort The newspapers report few cases of prostration and three deaths superin- duced by heat during the last two weeks.
 No rain of any value, more than to clear the air of dust, fell during the week in the Salt River or Gila valleys, but water for irrigation is being pien- tifully supplied by the heavy rains in the valleys of higher elevation and the mountain districts Excessive va:cfalls, accompanied in some cases by hail, are reported to have fallen in places in Apache, Navajo and Pima counties causing considerable dam age. Scattering showers, generally light but yet sufficiently heavy to be of great benefit to crops, the ranges and range stock, fell in Yavapai, Gila and Coconino counties
