feet wide and Ave feet long, represent
ing MONDAY landscape OF great beau
ty. In the foreground plum and cherry
trees and rice plants appear in full
bloom. In the rear is seen a hill, grad
ual I'm ascent. from which apparently
flows a cascade, admirably initiated in
crystal. From this point a threadlike
stream meanders. encircling rocks and
islands In Its windings and finally los
Ing itself In a faroff stretch OF wood
land. In a miniature sky a golden sun
turns on a silver wire, striking the
hours on silver gongs as 1t passes.
Each hour is marked on the frame by
creeping tortoise, which serves the
place OF a hand. A bird OF exquisite
plumage MARBLES at the close of each
hour, and as the song ceases n mouse
sallies forth from neighboring grot-

garden, is soon lost to view.

A military correspondent gives n
good description of the Somall, who as
fighting man is not first class, though
he is fond OF drill and proud of his
uniform. But he Is by nature decided
ly effemlnate; his toilet Is constant
source OF anxiety TO himself, and the
pains he win take TO curl his crisp
black hair by the application of vari-
Gus substances TO his head is incredi-
bic. He is fond OF flnery, OF luxurious
and indolent habits, and keeps up an
inccssant fire of chatter. He Is grasp
ing, and In the matter OF food is
greedy. Timid in the presence OF the
European. he Is easily excited and
quickly loses his head. Dancing Is one
of his chief pastimes, accompanied by
the loud clapping OF hands and con
tinuous and monotonous wall, which
no doubt does duty for a song. Somali
women never dance. and scarcely even
smile; they are completely cowed by
the men, who treat them In most cases
unkindly, II not actually cruelty. The
Somai is most punctilious in the per
formance Of hiB religious rites; but he
seems hypocritical to a degree

In Honor of St. Patrick.

The supper and lecture at St Aloysius
Hall Monday evening was well patron
ized by an audience which filled the hall.
The ladies of the parish had prepared
bountiful supper which was a credit to
those in charge and was partaken OF by
most everyone present. After supper a
short musical program was given by the
Young people OF the church, who as usual
fully sustained their ability in this line.
The pastor, Rev. J. A. Lynch then
made few remarks and in very happy
manner introduced the speaker OF the
evening, Rev. Thomas Leonard OF
Waterbury. who was transferred to this
parish some time ago, but through a
petition to the bishop Rev. FIR. Lynch
was allowed to remain here and FIR.
Leonard was given the parish at Water
bury. FIR. Leonard gave scholarly lec-
ture on the early history of the Irish
people, showing how they were driven
out of their native country and came to
America, the land of the free and the
home of the brave. He also expounded
the virtues of that early saint Of the
church and patron of the Irish people, st.
Patrick, in whose memory the irish
throughout the United Kingdom remem-
ber him on the 18th day OF March.
A chorus was then given by the choir
and after partaking of ice cream the
gathering broke up, to meet again with
as much pleasure on next st. Patrlck's

Athletic News.

The Montpelier Journal says that the
basket ball game which decides the
championship of the state may be played
in Montpelier. This will depend on the
result of two games between the Brattle-
boro Y. M. c. A. team and the Co. ID. V.
N. G. team of St. Johnsbury. These
teams will meet at Brattleboro on
March IS, and at St. Johnsbury on
March 27. Should these games result in
a tie it is proposed to play the third
game at Montpelier.
The st. Johnsbury Academy ladies'
basket ball team will play the return
game with the ladies of Montpelier Semi
nary at Montpelier early next term.
The Montpelier Seminary base ball
schedule has been published and the sec
ond game will be at St. Johnsbury with
our Academy team and the return game
at Montpelier on June 6.
The close of the basket ball season sug-
gests the feasibility of having base ball
team here this summer. White6eld, Lit
tleton and Lancaster have raised money
for their teams and it is none too early
IL the base ball enthusiasts here want a
team. If a little work was put in it now
it would not be long before the support
ers of our niue would be yelling them
selves hoarse over a two-base hit and
steal home from third.
At the spring meeting of the executive
committee of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association held in New York
last week, the date for the Vermont
state championship was fixed for Aug. 3,
