THATCHER'S ISLAND.
Details of the Tragedy which Gave
the Island Its Name.

From the Boston Transcript.
The twin lights of Thatcher's Island
are familiar to many who go down to
the sea in ships, and to many more who
spend the summer months on the rocky
headland of Cape Ann, but probably
comparatively few are familiar with
the details of the tragedy which gave
the island it's name. 1t was on a long
ago August-269 years ago, to be ex-
act-that the Rev. Anthony Thatcher,
his wife his four children and several
other persons left Ipswich in vessel
for Marblehead, where Mr.. Thatcher
was to take charge of the church. They
set sail on the 18th, a fair summer
day, but with a head wind and very
little of it," They had a tedious time
beating out of Ipswich bay and at
night on the 14th had not yet succeed
ed in doubling the cape. A sudden,
| furious August storm came on in the
night, and the luckless craft was driv-
| en- on the rocks, where she soon went
to pieces. Mr.. Thatcher, after being
buffeted about by the sea for a long
| time, was able to cling fast to a rock
and climb on shore. Drenched and
shivering, he walked about, vainly try
ing to see or hear something of his

Cnn Robins Reason,

John Burroughs in Outing.
The robin is a very adaptive bird GER
tainly, 1t adjusts itself readily to new
conditions. but it falls far short of the
intelligence that is often ascribed to it.
Thus there are persons who seem to
believe that when mud is scarce the
robin will bring water in its beak to
the dust Of 9 the road and so make the
mortar that il needs. This notion is.
of course, absurd. How could the rob-
in know that water and dust viii make
mud? This knowledge is the result of
reflection and experiment, and is not
within the reach of an animal. More
than that, If the robin could find the
water, he could certainly find the mud
somewhere. L haveAseen robins nests
with little or no mud, and have
known them to use substitute for
mud furnished by the cows ste
Another equally absurd claim for the
robin comes from a correspondent A
robin had her nest in a tree under his
chamber window in such a position
that he could see all that happened In
the nest. He says that when the
young robins were nearly grown he
saw the mother bird take them one by
one. by the nape of the neck, and hold
them out over the rim of the nest to
teach them to use their wings! l sup
pose 'Sour modern school of nature
study" would accept this statement
without question. II is such prepos-
ferrous natural history as this that fur
nshes the stock in trade in this
school" Some persons deceive them
selves in what they think they see, and
not few, l am convinced, are DELHI
crate falsifiers.

NY Impressions of The Chduiduqud.

1t has been the privilege Of the
writer to be on the program and in
attendance at many of our Chau-
tauqua assemblies; two seasons at
Chatauqua, New York, two seasons
each at Georgetown, Texas and
Weatherford, Texas; two seasons
each at Monteagle, Tenn, and Per
tie Springs, Mo, and one season at
Winona Lake, Ind. In comparison
with these assemblies-and many
of them were older when visited
the program of your Chautauqua
was the richest and best that he has
thus far enjoyed. The day pro-
gram was exceptionally good and
well attended, and the night pro-
gram was lust such a compromise
between the heavy intellectual and
the merely amusing, as to combine
entertainment with profit. believe
this is largely as it should be. The
person who h as attended from five
to eight hours of solid work during
the day needs to combine pleasure
with profit in the evening. The few
disppointments on the part of
speakers is one of the unseen emer-
gencies which confrouts the man
agement of any assembly and the
experience of several years as su-
perintendent leads me to believe 1t
is unavoidable; substitutions made
on the spur of the moment may or
may not be satisfactory, but there
is nothing else to be done and the
sympathies of the public should be
with the effort. | think that the di-
rectors of your Chautauqua who
give all of the time necessary to
this work as labor of love, and re-
ceive no remuneration whatever,
should have the gratitude of this
community as well as the synod of
Texas for the work. | congratulate
Waxahachie and the state OF Texas
on the great success of this young
Chautauqua, and trust that there
will be the fullest cooperation on
the part of all interested III it's future
success. The influence of such an
assembly cannot be overestimated,
and generations yet unborn will
reap the benefit so lavishly poured
out.
