THE EARTH STAR.

Earth stars are members of the plant kingdom and are closely related to the puff balls with which all country boys and girls and all frequenters of the woods are familiar; they ripen their spores of puff ball seed in round brown balls as the puff balls do, but are unique in their wonderful manner of scattering their spores. For this pur- pose the plant develops tough outer coat to the ball, which on damp day. when the spores are ripe, swells up, splits, and rolls back from the summit to the base to form a star about the ball The round ball at the centre of the star then opens at its summit and waits quietly for fair weather favorable for travelling. The first day after these preparations the earth star breaks it's connections with the part of the plant which is in the ground, and which up to this time has fed and nourished it and held it firmly in the ground, curls up the rays of the star over the puff ball, and lets the wind roll it over the fields and wherever it will, while it puffs out the spores and soatters them far and wide. Some observers have stated that when the dews of evening fall the plant unrolls the star-point until they again lie flat on the ground, and firmly anchor the ball where it may rest until another fair day comes around in which, in company with the wind, it may resume It's travels. The earth stars are not common, but still one on the alert may expect to find them on damp wood roads, and will be we'll re- warded if he takes one home to watch the rays of the star curl and uncurl when subjected alternately to dry and moist air,--St. Nicholas

Professor Jepson had a chorus of more than 200 voices full of melody, under his baton and he produced results. Ar thur J. Odenkirchen, Hillhouse 'O2, was an excellent accompanist. The diplo- mas were presented by Mayor Studley, who, most unfort unately, was ordered by his physician to refrain from speech making, owing to very difficult throat trouble for which he is being treated. His regrets and best wishes were said by Superintendent of Schools Beede. Altogether the occasion was notable and thoroughly interesting.
 The stage was decked with flowers and potted plants and the graduates, backed up by about 200 members of the two schools, were seated there. Also, in front were Superintendent Beede, Prin- cipal Mather. of Boardman, Principal Cushing, of Hillhouse, Mayor Studley and the speaker of the evening, Rev. Dr. Whitman The fmembers of the board of education occupied boxes on the right of the stage.
 After chorus song, "Lovely June, :" the salutatory address was given by Harrison T. Sheldon, of Hillhouse. He welcomed those. present, saying that for four years the occasion had been eagerly anticipated by every member of the class. "To-night we are a school, but henceforth we go our independent ways" He reviewed the history of the world during the past four years. An era by itself has been made in that time After peace and rest on earth for years the storm broke. The clash came over Spain and found this coun- try thoroughly equipped and resource-

 The graduates are not coming In very fast and indications are that the re- union classes will not have the large numbers that they had during the last few years Some of the late classes will, of course be well represented and a member of the class of '9S, which holds it's triennial this spring, said last night that he expected about two hun dred members of that class here.

A GARDEN IN THE OCEAN,.

A veritable garden In the ocean is
the name aptly applied to Salem Will

prettiest, shadiest and cosiest excur-

That being the case, what could be
more enjoyable to the average indi-
vidual in search of rest and recrea-
tion than trip to the Willows on
board the handsome and commodious
steamer O. E. Lewis. The season Is
fast waning. and in few weeks more
will be at an end. This fact suggests
the advisability Of making this pleas

portunity.

a perfect panorama of entertainment
Is spread out for you. including a first
