A Visit to the Watertown Schools.

Last Thursday evening party OF
twelve, consisting Of the teachers Of
our public schools, boarded the north
bound train for Watertown. Our OBJ
ject was to visit the public schools OF
that city.
Friday morning the hour OF the OPP
ening of school found us assembled In
the central school where we were most
courteously welcomed by Supt. Farley.
Each teacher was then conducted to
the grade she wished to visit: Many
excellent features of public school
work were noticed to be in use in the
various grades. The rooms were well
lighted and equipped for doing excel
lent work. The heating and ventilat-
ing system is similar to our own.
One prominent difference In their
school from ours was the shorter
school day. The morning session 10
the same length as ours, but the az
ternoon session only from l:30 to 3:45.
Friday evening the W ater to wn
teachers called in body at our hotel
where an hour was spent In pleasant
and informal conversation. Later we
were treated to an oyster supper served
In a down town restaurant. Early
Saturday morning found us on the
way home. Each teacher felt that
the visit to the schools Of our neigh
boring city had been both pleasant
and profitable and that she would be
able to take up her work with renewed
energy and enthusiasm.
We feel very grateful to the teach
ers OF Watertown for their delightful
entertainment and hope that they
will give us an opportunity to repay
them by return visit in the near fu-
ture. $50

FURTHER TEST OF LE1r0Us.
Importers Not Satisfied with the One
Recently Made which Favored
the California lsrotEasct.

Importers Of lemons will have an
anal3 teal test made to show the rela-
tive quantity Of citric acid contaiAad
in the imported fruit as compared
with the California product. This is
the latest development in the con
troVersy between importers and ham
dlers of domestic lemons, which arose
over a test of California lemons made
by the Earl Frtlit company. and
which showed, according to the claims
OF that company that the domestic
fruit contained a larger percentane OF
citric acid than imported lemons. I'M
Porters, it seems, are by no means
satisfied with the Earl test and ac-
cordingly viii MAKE a counter test.
mir. s. Saitta, a large importer, said
that he had Krone Bros, OF this city,
select - lemons as a represen ID
lot from a Californian production
and also 12 SiciIian lemons from a
representative Importation, These,
Mr.. Saitta said, had been given to an
expert chemist to make an ANALYSIS
in order to secure a perfectly fair
and impartial test as to the relative
amount of citric acid contained i'm
the two lots

VIII Be launched About TIN Same !,
Time as the HerreaIa0n Boat.

1t is expected that the Crowninshield
designs for the Lawson cup defender
will be in the hands of Tie builder.
George T. Lawley, so thai the work of
laying down the boat can be completed
before the first of the year or about
three weeks behind The Herreshoff
boat. The lead, angle iron and plating
have already been ordered, and If there
are no delays there seems to be no rea-
son why the Boston boat will not be
launched about the same time as the
one at Bristol.
In fact there is something like a race
already between the two yachts. It
looks as if the Lawson boat would be
built at tthe Atlantic works in East Bos-
ton, under the supervision of Mr.. Law
ley. No dimensions will bA given out
until the beat is fully under way but
after that it is understood that free ac-
cess will be afforded anyone who de-
sires to look at the work on the new

AN ELEPHANT PARTY
Latest Society Innovation That Cap
tiyates ,India's Four Hundred.
Lady Curzon Makes 81 Unique Use of
u NIaharajah's Gift - Animals
Gayly Decked Garry Their
Fair Burdens.

Elephant parties are the latest form
of amusement to be invented by Lady
Curzon to entertain India's 400. It
seems that several Of the native rulers
have taken a great fancy to her, and
the maharajah of Durbhunga recently
made her unique gift by placing at
her disposal ma gnificent herd of ele-
plants.
The vicereine was at loss to know
just what to do with the gift at first.
Then the idea occurred to her of giving
an elephant party. She arranged it so
that each animal was to bear young
woman and an attendant saint to a
rendezvous, where tiffin was to be
served to the assembled pairs.
Lady Cllrzon herself rode the largest
elephant in the group, and in her how
dah of silver was protected from the
sun by an umbrella Of white silk, bor-
dered with pearls. Her mahout car
ried silver goad and fly fan. The trap
pings on her mount were embroidered
in silk and gold, while festoons Of
pearls hung around the elephants ears.
The first party was such a success
that her ladyship gave several more,
and now the fad has developed to al
most a craze.
The humorous side of these affairs
was supplied by the elephants them
selves, who insisted on testifying to
their affection by snatching treasures
from passers-by, or from the bazars,
and bestowing them upon the rider.
This thoughtfulness on the part Of the
elephants several times became embar-
RAISING, especially when the gift hap
pened to take the form of naked In
dian child. One chubby little boy, the
son OF an elephants keeper. wearing
only a string of beads, was lifted into
the yicereine's howdah, causing great
amusement to the party. The vice
RENE received the gift graciously and
gave the child present to take home.
