assurances that China would march on
 to the tune of civilization, and wanted this country to stand by her until she
 IS able to walk alone. From China to
 the wonderful bird groups in the mu-
 scum of Natural History in New York,
 was but a slight transition. and the
 ladies were told it is worth a trip to
 the metropolis just to go down and said that it took five years and 55,- coo miles of travel, to procure speci- mems of all the birds of North Amer
 fca, and to arrange them in groups in the museum, with soil, underbrush, flowers and paintings to represent their natural habitat. All this must
 be very interesting to the ladies of the Audubon Society and if possible the summer to run excursions to New York for the benefit of the scholars of Fairfield, so that they can go to the museum and see for themselves how ica, and how they contrive to live when all kinds of food are so dear. Another topic touched upon was the
 George Junior Republics, such as were transplanted as far west as Califor- mia. These republics, the speaker
 thought, ought to be established in every state in the Union, and some | children should be taught how to gov | ern themselves and learn something | about politics. School cities were spo- | ken of as the latest notion in New | York for the education of children. | They appear to be small city govern l ments established in school house,
 with all the officers, the same as in | great city. Surely New York is good model for children to study with it's graft, dishonesty, failure of jus | tice, extravaganza, inability and inert ness of the officials. The New York
 boy will catch on fast enough as soon
 as he gets his eyes open and goes out | into the world intent upon making a | fortune at the expense of the public. | He hardly needs to be taught all that | in a school.
 | One of the taking table ornaments at the recent Married Mems supper

 Bradley and Mrs. Charles Gray. | A Farmers Institute will be held at

 The Kings Daughters meet this ev- | ening with Mrs. R. H. Seymour. | Next Friday it is stated that the
