Commencement Exercises.

| The commencement exercises OF the
High school at the Turner Opera house
Wednesday evening evidenced the fact
that the four years spent by the gradu-
ates had been well spent and that they
go forth well equipped mentally, to
achieve success in whatever may be
their vocation, or to go still higher in
search of more knowledge. The saluta-
tory was delivered by Miss Lucille Lieb-
ermann, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
| Liebermann. 1t was we'll composed,
repIete with beautiful thoughts,germaine
to her subject and the occasion. Ii was
delivered in a clear voice which showed
much oratoricaI excellence, Miss Lieber
man will attend the State University
next year, all arrangements to that end
having been perfected.
The class memorial consisting of 800,
was delivered by Daniel Brooks, the
money 10 be used in the decoration of
the new high school building or grounds,
and he made an eloquent plea for a new
building which shall be modern and in
keeping with demands of the times and
needs of the city. His subject was we'll
handled and the address well delivered.
The valedictOry was delivered by
Herbert ROdeck and it was a fine effort,
showing that he had given his subject
much study and time in its preparation.
He showed the value of education in all
branches and usefulness and space of
the different branches necessary to sue
cess in the various departments of men
tai efforts. The address was well deliv-
cred and the subject matter demonstrat-
ed that he he had not spent his time in
idleness during the four year course.
The address of Prof. Paul Voelker of
the State University, the Mastery of
Destiny was very scholarly effort and
was listened to with raped attention by
all present. He said in part:
"Men's thoughts rule their minds and
hence their lives, the speaker asserted,
and using one of his apt illustrations,
declared that just as politician packs
a caucus and has himself elected as
delegate to convention, so man can
pack his mind with thoughts
both beautiful and useful, bringing
knowledge to tile mind. The continued
use Of knowledge brings skill, and know
ledge and skill bring power-the power
to do, to think, to command. to direct
and the self consciousness of power
which is an attribute of the truly great"
The Girls Glee club sang two selec-
tions accompanied by the High school
orchestra and Alvin StaIIman rendered
violin solo, beth the songs and solo being
we'll received and much appreciated, so
much so that Alvin was obliged to re-
sp0nd to an encore
At the end OF the program Hon. w. f.
VOss, president of the school board made
interesting remarks during which he
gave history OF the effort to secure
new high school building which efforts
had proven successful and such build
ing will be erected, which when COM
pleted, will be up-to-date in every re-
spect and an honor to the city of Water
town.

Orioin of Heels ON Shoes.

1t is said that the heels worn on
shoes had their origin in Persia, where
they took the form Of fiat wood on
sandals to raise the feet and protect
them from the hot sands. 1t was many
years afterward that this fashion was
introduced into Venice, but the reason
seems to have been quite different
Here the originators Of the fashion
were jealous husbands who reasoned
that their ladies, thus equipped, would
not venture far outside the precincts
of their dwelling. These heels were
called Clogs and in order to satisfy
the vanity of the wearers and perhaps
to sweeten the pill-that is, the dis
comfort of appearing in them-they
were elaborately adorned, sometimes
being incrusted with gold and silver.

ALI He Was Entitled To.

Gounod was firm and devout Cath
olic, and adored religious music. Dur
ing the rehearsal of his 'Drames
Sacres," at the Vaudeville theater, the
manager called on him one morning
and asked permission to make sug-
gestion. II think, mon cher maitre, =
he said, "that there is something want
ing in your score. For example, do
you not think that the Barabbas Incl
dent might be improved by a little
more orchestral effect?" Gounod, with
out replying, hid his head in his hands,
and, after two or three minutes Of
meditation, suddenly exclaimed: mo,
decidedly no; such a blackguard as
that does not deserve more music"

C0L0RS IN ANIMALS
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

For summer Towering, ANNALS are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of a seed packet is but trifie.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting large punches of single spe-
cies together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as
many square feet.
1t is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in a vase
rather than the Heterogeneous collec-
ton in the old-fashioned bouquet.
Mass your flowers if you would secure
the best effect.
The old calliopsis, "lady's breastpin"
they used to call it, is a handsome
plant, its long slender stems render
ing it extremely useful for cutting,
and the shades of gold and brown
harmonizing nicely.
A mass of it next to the shrubbery
in the background gives a most pleas
ing effect.
Some handsome forms of single
dahlia may be secured by planting a
packet of the seeds in pots early in
the spring and transplanting the

W0RK-A-DA NOTES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

If the season IS dry one some
of the plants in the garden will have
to be watered If you want flowers
from them. Especially is this true Of
gloxinia
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil in which their roots grow,
and see that It is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting for
a week to come isn't the proper thing.
Save the suds from wash day for this
purpose. The snap in the water will
benefit the plants.
Be sure to supply substantial sup
ports for your dahlias. If this is not
done you will likely find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or a hard rainstorm. The stakes
should be at least four feet tall
allow an extra foot and half for in
sertion in the ground and they should
be at least an inch through, and of
good sound wood. Paint them dull
green and they will not be unpleasant
