madn In thu harems of Turkey. It Is all
wrought In gold thread on u silk groundwork.

booth to add to tlio beauty of the scene. The
steps on which the statues stood
were covered with Uoinuti stripes
and leopard skint. Thcro was
n bevy of young ladies In charge of the
booth , and the ill-starred young men who
paused to admlro the noblest Homan of them
nil found it diflicull to get away with n full

The cottage was constructed after the
llighland style , was trimmed up with ivy
and hud a thatched roof. The effect was
made more realistic by an actual hen and
chickens in n coop outside , and by the herr
ings hanging up to dry. A peep inside

On Wednesday last at S o'clock a large nnd
appreciative audience assembled in the
Creigliton college hall to witness a public
specimen of the class work , given by the
students of the lowest Latin class. As an
nounced in the programme , any ono in the
hall was free to question the class upon the
matter there laid down , it being the matter
passed over in the last three months. The
routine of questioning was relieved by a
goodly number of declamations , composi
tions and songs. Tlio class consisted of about
thirty boys , varying in ages from ten to four
teen years ; the polished appearance , the
spruceness of attire , and the radiant coun
tenance of each little gentleman , as ho filed
on the stage from a side door , was the gen
eral index by which tlio friends in the aud
icni'e could pretty well judge beforehand the
character of the coming entertainment. A
prologue was given by Master Philip Mc-
Evoy , welcoming all there assembled , and in
a way introducing what was to follow. As
they awaited the volunteer questioning from
thu audience , the students began to examine
each other , the dialogue form being ob
served , while ono of tlieii-.own members oc
cupied the chair. These present who
had formerly believed that Latin and
catechism constituted the curriculum of

wrong impression. The questioning was not
on these branches ulono but also upon United
States history , geography Its various
branches , English analysis , spelling and do-
llning , memory exercises and arithmetic. It
was of a sprightly and interesting character.
as were the. answers , which were received
with applause. Among the pleading features
of the exercises were a composition "Tho
Value of u stocking , " by Fred Hall ; vocal
solo , "Only a Dream of Home , " by Dennis
O'Neill : violin solo , "Fifth Air Vurio-Ch ,
Dnnclu , " by Einil Hofmann ; declamation ,
"Tho Pauper's Death Hed , " bv Hurt Davis ;
tiiis last was an excellent rendition and was
heartily encored.
At the close , of the exorcises , President
Dowling m n few well timed remarks , kindly
thanked these present for Mio manifest ap
preciation and interest they exhibited in all
attairs concerning the college ; ho again cor
dially invited any one to interrogate the
members of the class which ho assured them
was open to publlo examination. No ono
responding hu proceeded to urge upon tlio
parents of boys the necessity of a thorough
classical education , such us Crelghton college -
lego endeavors to impart.

change. Louis Littloflcld , the master of
