credit for the success of the periodical

interest readers of the August Cosmo-

Published by Lothrop Publishing COM
pany, Boston.
One of the best Juvenile stories George
Cary Eggleston has yet written is 1.-The
Bale Marked Circle X.'' 1t is packed full of
daring deeds, to which are added in proper
proportions practical information. In it
are told the adventures of three boy SOL
diers in the Confederate service, who are
sent in a sloop on secret voyage from
Charleston to the Bahamas, conveying a
strange bale of cotton, which holds i'm
portant documents, and also fifty-one
pounds of rifle powder, with which the
bale, sloop and crew must be blown up
as last resort to save the precious pa
pers from capture by the Federals. She
runs the blockade, picking up on the way
young wounded Federal soldier. She
encounters a storm and passes through it
safely, to be knocked down and capsized
by a white squall near one of the outlying
Bahama islands. The boys manage to
swim ashore with the precious bale, and
pretty soon their water-logged sloop
comes drifting conveniently inc a little
harbor near them. They right her. pump
her out. refit her, and go on their way,
delivering the bale safely at its destina-
ton.

An Evening With Burns.

Athenaum Hall was filled Saturday
evening with members of the Scotia
Club and their friends to the number ot
nearly 400 who gathered to celebrate
the 143rd anniversary of the birth oi
Robert Burns. To the members of the
club this was a double anniversary, for
it marked the third milestone of the or
gauization's existence. Hon. Alexander
Dunnett, president of the club, presided,
and welcomed the guests in few words.
The main features ofthe evening were the
talk on Burns and his work and readings
from his poems by DR.. William Allan
Nelson of Harvard University. This
gentleman is native OF Scotland and a
graduate of Edinburgh University. His
theme chiefly concerned the inspiration OF
the poets work and the sources from
which many of his songs and poems were
derived. 1t is we'll known fact that
many of Burns immortal songs are sim
ply the Older folklore songs of Scotland
rewritten and improved by the poet, and
in explanation Of this, Dr.. Nelson read
the original and compared them with the
Burns versions.
The second part of the program was
devoted to the authors personal, nara
tive and satirical works, and DR.. Neil
son read the "Epistle to a Young
Friend, ""A Mans A Man for a That"
ITO Mouse" ITO Daisy" A Bards
Epitaph." Tam O'Shanter," ITO the
Unco Guild" and several others. In clos.
ing he read "The last Night" from Barrie S

request Kipling's, "McAndrew's Hymn

harvesting Ice Under Difficulties.

Hovey & Lewis, the ice dealers, have
added to their equipment an ice cultivator
which is particularly useful this season
because Of the thick crust of anchor ice
that abounds on the ice-helds. The ma
chine is small affair but it takes four
horses to operate it effectively. The
scraper resembles the cutter-bar of
moving machine, and removes about
three inches each trip. This year about
two inches must be removed before clear
blue ice can be cut. Scraping the upper
field has been completed, and work on
the lower oueis now going on, and enough
ice to fill both houses has been removed
in this way. The firm have filed the
houses at Caldbeck's pond, and when the
harvest is completed they will have
about 1900 cords ready for the summers
business.

At the January meeting of the Round
Table of the South church, held Monday
evening, Harvlin Paddock read a paper
on his early recollectious of St. Johns
bury, as 1t was in the year 184O and a
few years following. No attempt will be
made to review the paper at this time, tor
the CALIFORNIAN hopes to print it entire
at an early date. 1t is enough to say
now that 1t is picture OF St. Johnsbury
and her people o 60 years ago, that will
be an invaluable addition to the publish
ed sketches of the towns history. Three
members were added to the club at this
meeting.
