Blackstone Institute

The eleventh session OF the Black
stone Institute opened with every place
In the building engaged. At least fiftv
more students could have been enroll
ed had there been room to accommo-
date them. For several years past IL

piication In order to secure a place In
this, the largest private school for girls
In Virginia. The enrolment in the
boarding department the present ses-
sion Is about 259, and the usual hat
OF day scholars brings the list up to
over 800. 1t Is striking fact In con-
nection with the school that it's work is
80 highly appreciated by the parents Of
Virginia that no canvassing and little
advertising lie done outside OF the
State, and the rooms are ali practical
ly filled with Virginia girls.

The akylark.

Skyiarks are rather prolific birds,
having two broods in the year, and
often laying as many as five eggs,
though four is the usual number. The
nest is so difficult to find that it is
practically never discovered except by
accident, as when, for instance, the
hay1elds are mown. or what is being
hoed- The bird very seldom nests near
the margin of a field, where 1t might
be put off its nest by passersby. On
the shores Of the North sea skylarks
will nest in the "bents" and "marram''
close to the edge Of the sand hills,
though they have to fetch food to their
young from considerable distance.
There is always something very pleas
ing in the sight Of lark's nest. 1t is
usually sunk In a hollow, and, unlike
the nests of many ground building
birds. is most carefully made, the cup
being deep and perfectly circular, and
lined with very fine grasses, though
the outer part is made of rough, dead
bents, and often of a most irregular
shape in order to fill up the hole in
which 1T is made.-London Spectator.

Night Rlosaon,s.

Many flowers, natives most Of them
of regions where the day is intensely
hot, expand their blossoms at night.
Notable among them is the Victoria
Regia, which opens its splendid calyx
near the Amazon at nightfall and
closes it at dawn.
The queen Of the night blooms for
one night only, and has It's. home on
the islands of the Caribbean sea. The
triangular cactus. whose flowers are q
foot in length and width, follows the
same habit.
From Virginia comes the biennial

brought 70 England in 1914 because its
twisted red root could be eaten as
salad
Among British night flowers are the
rocket, Gu night violet, the evening
primrose and the campion. The white
or yellow color and the fragrance of
these flowers of nocturnal habit attract
rowing moths. which carry the pollen
and so fertilize the plants-London

sundiaI MaximG.

1t is quite an interesting thing to
learn that some of our best known
proverbs and notices were originally
used in connection with sundials. Be-
fore the days Of watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means Of reckoning time, it
was a prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are. Make hay while the sun
shines" The longest day must end
ana ''All things do wax and wane.'
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from historic one which was
placed on st. Paul's cross, in London
and which proclaimed, Il number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
a dial on an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex, England
bore four famous notices applicable to
the fight Of time and the brevity OF
life. They were as follows: AFTER
darkness, light" ALAS, how swift"
Il warn whilst move" and $50 passes
life"
Another old sundial spoke petulant.

Long wfnded orators.

Edmund Burke's greatest speech is
generally considered to have been the
one on Cancellation with America =
The report OF the speech, supplied by
Burke himself, runs to as many as
thirty-two pages. 1t contains over 3O,-
600 words. It, therefore. could not
have been delivered under less than
i've hours Ii IL curious, by the way,
how long Winded all the great British
orators were In Burke's time. The
older Pitt was the first to indulge In
long speeches In the house of COM
mons. After he had delivered one Of
these famous orations he was hailed
by crowds outside the house with en-
thusiastic cries OF Three hours and a
half Three hours and halfTs "Just
as If a man can talk sense for three
hours and half" remarked the cyni-
cal Chesterfield, who happened to pass
By.

A Sensitive Horse.

Harsh treatment, though 1t stop short
of infiicting physical pain, keeps a
nervous horse In a state of misery. On
the other hand, it Is perfectly true, as
besotted but intelligent stable keeper
once observed to me, "a kind word for
boss is as good sometimes as a feed
of OATS"
A single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch Of the Morgan
family, was thought as three-year-old
to be the fastest trotting stallion of his
day. He was very handsome, stylish,
intelligent horse, and also extremely
sensitive
His driver, Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen I'm America, once
made the mistake, through iii temper
or bad judgment, Of giving Daniel
Lambert a severe cut with the whip,
and that single blow put an end to his
usefulness as trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable In harness and
remained so for the rest Of his life.
