was to YEA her new tailor-made.
while sister Lucia had her book,
which had just come out. lying care
lessly on the parlor table, where Mr..
Esmond could not fail to see it.
The days business was over, and
Mr.. Winters sat in his eoffice await
ing the arrival of the young artist.
He was just saying to himself that
Mr.. Esmond was going to be late
when the office boy brought in a
card bearing, in the familiar hand
writing of that gentleman, his name.
SHOW him in at once" said Mr..
Winters in his most abrupt and edi-
torial tones.
When he heard footsteps in the
outer room he arose to his feet and
made haste to arrange his features
in their most cordial and engaging
expression. The door flew open in
~ iiSii ttliIt dIlVSl liz udIlu
of the Office boy, who announced, in
a somewhat mut1ed tone, Mr.. Es-
mond," and in walked-Dorothy!
Mr.. Winters co~untenance was in
deed a study to gaze upon. He
looked at his daughter with eyes as
round as moons, and opened his
mouth several times without making
a sound. In short, he was completely
bewildered until Dorothy, her sweet
face all flushed and %quivering, half
laughing, half sobbing, rushed into
his arms, exclaiming:
"Oh, papa dear, don't you under
stand? / am Mr.. Henry Page Es-
mond!'
When her father had got her home
at last, and they had managed to ex-
plain matters to the assembled COM
pany, the commotion which arose was
wonderful to experience. Dolly was
laughed over, cried over and passed
around to be kissed until she was
quite b~reathless, while the parlor
fairly bristled with ordinations.
Clarence whirled her around and
around in a wild dance, and her
mother could not stop asking ques-
tions. Lucia looked at her rather
repr%oachfully as she slyly tucked her
book out of sight; but Judge Whit
man made her a most c~ourtly and
ceremonious bow, saying: Il con-
graduate you, my dear"
At last the heroine of this ovation
escaped to her room to adjust her
hair and gown, which had become
sadly rumpled with embraces, leav-
ing her friends to chatter and eX-
claim, and talk at the top of their
voices all together. 1t was the
proudest moment of her life. Matur-
er years brought other triumphs
but never one so glorious as this.
And thus it happened that Dorothy,
while she by no means ceased to be
domestic, did become an artist, and
carved out for herself a career which
had its beginning in the queer
cows.'-Ladies' World, New York.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

1t is claimed that Belfast, Ireland, is
the leading place among the cities of

The new Princeton university cata-
this year, against 1854 last year. The
lumber of professors and instructors
has increased from 101 to los. The
combined Princeton libraries contain
256,000 volumes, $4,000 having been
added during the year.
The report of the treasurer of Har-
ward university presented to the board
of oyerseers shows that the university
as a whole has completed the past year

Along the line of the new departure
in college courses Williams college
will permit a student who is able to
anticipate two college courses, byrtak-
ing 10 hours work for two years and
is hours for the third year, to COM
piete the required work in three years,
but if the general character of the
work is not good the faculty may re-
fuse to permit a student to do this.
Charles j. Capen, senior master of
the Boston Latin school, has been a
teacher in that institution for so years.
Lately his friends presented the school
with a handsome portrait in oil of the
veteran instructor. While Mr.. Capen's
record is remarkable, that of Miss
Harriet Caryl. of the same city. is more
so. Miss Caryl entered the high school
as a pupil in 1852, the year the institu-
ton was founded, and'three years later
became a teacher. She has remained
in that position continuously ever
since.
The Swedish Evangelical Lutheran
Emmanuel church, the oldest Swedish
Lutheran church in Chicago, celebrat-
ed its golden jubilee recently, many
eminent ministers of that denomina-
ton taking part in the service. The
congregation numbers over 1000 and
the Sunday school has 1900 pupils. In
the 50 years of its existence the church
has had only two pastors. An album
engraved in gold and silver lettering
and containing a history of the church
will be sent to King Oscar of Sweden
who caused collections to be made in
the churches of that country to aid
in rebuilding the first ediice destroyed
in the Chicago fire.

A SCARE.
Wonderful Electric Display Wit
messed by L~ife-Saving Men at
Marconi Station.

Some of the life-saving men at the
Cahoons Hollow l~ife-saving station,
about a mile or so from the Marconi
station, thought Satan and all his
imps had gone on a bender about the
time the message to the British king
was being sent, says the Boston Globe.
One of the life patrols was at the
time pacing along the edge of the
high sand bluff near the station when
he was startled by q furious fusillade
and a series of brilliant coruscations
from the wires at the tower tops. The
explosions, he VOWS, were as loud as
a small yacht cannon, and n of the
sparks sent out in the air went like
a blazing bird for more than a quarter
of a mile and perched on the apex of
a telephone pole.
For ez much ez a mint" he said,
when telling of what he saw to a
group of citizens at the railway sta
ton the other evening, that blamed
streak of fire sot on that pole and
blazed, en- you ken bet that it made
me feel creepy. The air seemed ter
be full of 'em, en- they twisted en-
squirmed en- shot this way en- that,
like things yer see at a display of
fireworks"
The blazing sparks OF the pole top,
the air full of darling tongues of
flame and the volley firing of the ma
chinery were reported by the patrol
to the captain of the iife-saving sta
ton. They were not much disturbed
by the report of gun-like noises, but
when they heard of a spark the size
of a woodcock flying about in the air,
and of the big blazing visitant to
of the poles upon which is strung the
government telephone wire to the sta
ton, all hands gave the vicinity of the
telephone instruments in the office
plenty of sea room.
After breakfast in the morning
there was a knock at the door of the
Marconi company cottage. The caller
was one of the life-savers from the
Cahoons Hollow with a message from
the captain of the station to Marconi
asking if there were any danger like
~ to occur from working the govern
ment telephone while the wireless tele-
graph machinery was in operation.
He told of the spark that took such
a long fight and finally rested on the
pole,s and honestly confessed that it
gave him considerable concern. Mar
conf was a bit amused by the commo-
ton caused among the few who saw
the electrical display, and explained
to the messenger that there was moth
ing to fear, and he added, loo, that
though the telephone line runs within
a few hundred yards of the station,
the influence of the wireless currents
would not interrupt business on the
wire lines.
