teachers bore sufficient evidence to the
value of his suggestions.
Mrs. Fish followed with some timely
thoughts on what should be expected
from the pupil in preparation for the
recitation. Mrs. Fish led in discussion
of the topic. The manner of conduct
ing the recitation was briefly stated by
Miss Mary Phil of Itoslyn and this was
followed by Mr.. Richardson of Gle

from the recitation. Mr.. Wilson en-

by Mr.. Payne. an attorney an former
teacher, who upon the invitation Of the
teachers some noble words of advice
and encoura cement.
Thoughts gathered from the meeting
were that it is poor teacher who
makes no progress, every teacher who
makes cont; act to teach, binds her
self to do her best: if the lesson has
been well prepared for the recitation,
it will conduce to good ORDER the more

and incense added, and the bonfire in good working order. We were told that this fire was to frighten away evil spirits. l don't know about the efficacy of 1t, but I am very certain that no sane spirit, either good or evil. would have approached anywhere near the Chinese band, that was in full blast on the other side of the fire. If one has never heard Chinese music it is indescribable and unimaginable. It is largely. if not entirely made by small cymbals. It is weird, and unearthly in it's softer portions, and wild, and piercing, and still more un- earthly in it's louder passages. If you can imagine about 20 cats, with small
 bells about their necks, that jingle with every move, sitting opposite each other, and rowling" their shrillest and 1gliest, you have some idea of how a Chinese band sounds part of the time. Around this afore mentioned square
 were long poles, so braced and slanted as to lean at quite an angle out over the square. These poles were fitted
 with ropes, much as those on a flag sta1 are; arranged for the raising the ropes, and pulled to the top of each pole, was a huge rope of fire crackers, which when in position, hung straight down. The firecrackers were not large, but there must have been thousands in each rope. They were braided so closely that the firecrackers stood straight out, touching, making a great rope of frecrackers fully as
 large as my arm. After the bonfire got we'll started, one of these fire cracker ropes was lit at the lower end, and allowed to burn upward. It was deafening and dazzling. The crackers were of different varieties. Quite a number contained colored fire, while

much of the swift, slanting flight of swallows, now and then catching some small fish that got too near the sur facea Their moves seemed largely play however, for when they seemed really hungry they had different method of fishing. They then flew higher, much like a hawk, and when swift slanting flight on outspread wings until within few feet of the water, and directly over the fish, when suddenly folding their wings back tight to their bodies they would shoot head first into the water, disappear ing, and coming up with fish in their bills. They seldom missed. There was another water bird, which looked more like duck, tho' they sat so low in the water but little of them
 were to be seen, and though we watch ed q long time, they did not fly up so that we could see them. They would ride along quietly on the water, until
 they saw fish somewhere ahead of them, and dropping their shead they would disappear from sight and re- main down 30 to 40 seconds before coming up, some little distance from where they dived. I timed them by my watch, and found that about 40 seconds was the usual time they staid
 under water, but in two cases it was over minute. There were a number
 of other kinds of water fowl about,
 but the funniest of all were the great flying overhead and dropping on their fish, tho after watching them all the afternoon can't tell yet how they
 did it. It was certainly the most awk- l ward performance I ever saw, and was something like this. The pelican
 would sail along, hls legs drawn up close under his feathers, and pointing
 backward, like most other birds of his class, until he saw a fish. Then his
 legs would drop straight down, spread
 apart and dangle about wildly, he
 down in diagonal course, with one
 wing up and the other down and ei-
 ther his back or belly showing, accord
 ing as he happened to be facing you or | otherwise. Tapping down in this
 way til within a foot of the water, | his wings would suddenly flap more
 wildly, he would right himself, turn
 around exactly at right angles to his
 former course, and land in the water head first with a tremendous splash.
 But he never failed to get his fish. It
 is difficult to know just how he did it, Tor the thing which takes so long to tell, was all performed in an incredibly
 short space of time, so swift that no one could see just how it was done.
 JAst as we started home three DOT
 poises appeared playing about the pier, l and for half an, hour we sat watching
 the great ungainly fellows, rolling
 about and playing. It was a surprise
 to me to find these wild things so
 tame. judge that they have never
 been molested, for one can at times get up within four or five feet of a gull, and if you stop there he will ire quently sit and look at you as long as you keep still.
