I am the cook and steward too, I am tlie passengers and crew.” Tuesday, August 10. Another pleasant morning! We are wondering if such Aveather can last much longer. Buoyed up by tlie beans purchased yesterday, we set off early for Georgeville, but with a head wind. We sought the lee of all points and islands, to catch onr breatli and a little rest, and then we fought onr way around the next point. There is not as mnch excitement on a lake as on a river, as lieyond that ne.xt point we do not have any reason to expect rapids or a Avater-fall. Tliere are five islands Ixltween Magog and Georgeville in onr course. One little gron[) is named Three Sisters, very suggestive of “the three little maids.” By this zigzagging, we deeply impressed onr geometry lesson of otlicr days, regarding, straight lines and iieai-e.st distaiice.s, and we Avondered how mnch farther than the steamer’s course of ten miles ours was. We reached onr White Bii’cli Camp of Sunday, at noon, with onlv the loss of a rndder-hlade,owing to a conflict between the wind, iTidder, and a sunken rock; landed, re-inserted our humeri at the shoulder, and dined; found a S|)ring of ice-cold Avater only a quarter of a mile from camp, but invariably became very thirsty again before reaching camj). We have been surprised at the number of good boats which we have seen along shore, and tlie care they receive. Every farmer seems to he Tvell provid¬ ed, and a poor boat is an exee|)tion. Cedar laji-streaks, ribbed, with round bottom and a good keel, seemed to he the favorite. The wind left ns earlier than nsnal, so that we got away at 4 o’clock, and reached Jewett I oint, trolling as we paddled, at camping time. The average perch of this lake is large, a hiilf pound one being very common, and we soon had enough for supper and breakfast. On the way, M’e passed two men in a I v 4 I . 1 y-v « « k m A I-.

What a difference there is be tTveen Avork and—work! No spring or brook to make a jierfect camp ! Oth¬ erwise its central position would have made it very desirable. We have failed to mention the fact that tlie time of our trip was regulated by the moon. We started with the first quarter and now had the pleasure of a moon nearly hut as steady, nevertheless, as ever. This night, like others, was so beautiful upon the Avater tliat it seemed Avroiig to sleep it aAvay, hut Ave did. We judged that others had a similar feeling, for Avheuever Ave aAvoke, voices and the sound of oars came to our ears. “O’er no sweeter lake Shall morning break or noon-elond sail. No fairer face than thine shall take The sunset’s golden veil.” Wednesday, August 11. The morning of a typical dog day, misty, gloomy, depressing! But here conies the sun to draw the veil and change the expression of Nature’s face and our OAvn. As Ave “t«i-folded the draperies of onr conch” and looked out over the Avaters, we found that Ave Avere being inspected by a loon, only a few feet off; hut lie, she or it, startled by onr “good-morning,” suddenly remembered an apjiointmeiit lie liad Avitli some fresh-Avnter Nejitnne, and dove down to meet it. We think he has returned, hut a long Avatcliing did not discover him. Off for i Allan’s Point! Here Ave had a beautiful vicAV of the Avikl shore opposite, and also met the “Lady” on her morning trip. There is a trifle of danger and considerable excitement Avhen her Avake readies ns, and Ave en¬ joyed heading ai-ouml for it Avhenever she passed. At this point, our horne- Avard trip turned to the east and left tlie doAvnward, AA heii ucav scenes met onr eyes. Just around the point is the Allan boat-house, a huge affair, large enough to hold a good-sized steamboat. We jiaddled into its ojien end foi a short rest before fighting the strong Aviiid then hloAving, then hugged the shore until AA’C got into the lee of Molson’s Island, Avhere Ave discovered a plastered log-cahin, mined and deserted,—“one of the real old settlers.” It is now a sheejifold, and a large number of sheep have tlie run of the island,—an excel- Of course, we “took” lent place—no dogs, no fences, and a plenty of Avater. it, also a picture of one of the canoes in motion. Here, too, Ave found onr first and only Avater-lily. We siqiposed that there Avere others, hut did not see 1

O . The toboggan craze has not yet reached Milford ; but we learn from the daily papers that many places “liave it bad.” It is another illustra¬ tion of the peculiarity of Americans. As Iris cuts off and bears away from the expiring spirit of the Skating Rink the lock sacred to Pluto, (after Vergil —a long way,) Toboggan, with the draperies of his blanket about him, and his tasseled cap in hand, makes his bow and bids for our quarters— and will get them, too. The fourth class have a A ' cry san¬ guinary appearance this term, and one would think that not only had they thirsted for one another’s blood, but liad got it. Do not be alarmed by this bloody introduction ; for it’s only the book-keej)ing class trying to learn how to use red ink. Having “painted the floor and themselves red” at the expense of the tovyn, they will then purchase, for hard cash, a second in¬ stalment with which to perform their legitimate work. The contest over the re-election of Senator Dawc ' S, the recent strike of the coal handlers, and the generous gift of INIr. ( ' lark of Worcescer, have been the subject of several short talks in our recitations the jiast week. It has Ix ' cn publicly acknowledged in the IMilford high school that wo¬ man should have hei- rights. In ac¬ cordance therewith the misses have been granted the privilege of attei d- ing a 8 o’cl ock session with the mas¬ ters. The girls agree in thinking the line had better be drawn before they realize any lisadvantages of said right. O How deeeitful are our eyes! If you doubt this exclamation just look at this page upside down and behold the S’s. Our attention was called to this subject by an article in the St. Nicholas which tells us how clever the Greeks were in deceiving the eyes. Their beautiful Doric columns were not quite straight, but a . little convex ; their horizontals were caused to rise a little in the center and thus appear perfect. “Indeed,” to quote tlie article mentioned, “the Parthenon, —the most beautiful building in the world,—when delicately and carefully measured, was found to be every¬ where a little incorrect, so that it may appear right, which is certainly what rnav be called an architectural ])ara- dox.” “A man has invented a chair that can be adjusted to eight hundred different positions.” What a chair this wouhl be for—well, perhaps it would not ])roper to call names, and so we shall say for several of us! The immense power of the ice-flow j in the glacial age has Ix ' en impressed upon our minds by the Washington boulder situated near Conway Corner, N. H. This boulder is as long as oui‘ large school-room(45 ft.), just as wide (35 ft.), and as high as from the cellar bottom to the ceiling, including the lower rooms (35 ft.). This is dated piece of granite is the largest known in the world, and is estimated to weigh 38G7 tons. What a mighty moving force this must have been ! S. Elbe Reed, ’86, has gone to Win¬ chester, N. H. Ella F. Carpenter, ’68, is a teacher in Cambridge. O Stearns Godfrey, ’65, is an eminent violinist of Boston. Allen Hartwell, formerly of ’89, is oflice boy for Dr. G. L. Cooke. Ella T. Chilson, ’82, started for Gib¬ bon, Nebraska, Monday, Jan 17. Ernest Fletcher, ’84, has been elect¬ ed president of the Episcopal guild. George E. Patrick, ’68, is chemist for the Bradley Fertilizer Company. Herbert L. Holmes, ’71, has re¬ moved from South B:)ston to Milford. Hattie Coburn, ’88, entertained the Lawn Tennis club at a progressive euchre party New Year’s eve. Dr. Samuel N. Nelson, ’73, has been engaged as assistant by Dr. Marcy, the eminent surgeon of Boston. The wife of J. W. Allard, one of our former school superintendents, died in South Framingham, Dec. 31. Maude Hapgood has returned to the P ilends’ School in Providence, R. I. Wilmarth, formerly of ’87, and Westcott, ’86, are our representatives at the Brown Scientific School. Aaron Mayhew, English ’85, is per¬ forming the duties of Charles Weth- erby at the Milford National Bank while the latter is away. H. B. Spaulding, ’89, has just com- ])leted a fine specimen of a])paratus, a Barker’s mill. It has two arms and throws its water into a large milk pan. The class leaders for last term were Miss Hancock of the first class; Mas¬ ter Tirrell of the second ; Miss Leon¬ ard of the third; Miss Mathewson of the fourth. Nellie F. (Torman, ’84, teacher in the City school, and Miss Hannah M. Broderick, ’75, were pleasantly sur¬ prised with tokens of respect from their puj)ils on New Year’s. Wv should say “hal-lowed be thy ; name.” 4’wo syllables, not three. On account of the bad walking school was closed one day of the first week. i School was closed Dec. 24 and re¬ opened .Ian. 3 with one hundred and six scholars. Geology 1. Teacher: What do i people go hunting for in the West? Scholar: For wolves. ! ! h ' ' rozen fingers and ears rewarded the faithful for attendance on Wednes¬ day, the 19th inst. | On account of the drawing we are | obliged to change the order of recita- | tions for Thursdays and Fridays. | Some of the scholars who live near j the s-hool cared for the plants at their homes during the vacation. The M. L. T. C., all but two being | either graduates or present meml ers | of the M. il. S., gave a party in Ar- ' mory Hall, Dec. 29. Geology 1. Teacher: “Where are all the tiles now?” Scholar: “They are all dead.” How jdeasant it will be not to be troubled by them in warm weather! Miss H. B. Clark’s recitation of | “How Girl’s Study” at the second i lecture of the teachers’ course was “too true,” aud was appreciated by j teachers and scholars. | Physiology IV’ . Teacher: “What often happens to a person at a theatre when there is too tnuch CO. , in the air?” Scholar: ' ■ Yon would go to i sleep.” A young man in the Geology class thought tile Megatherium was a lazy i animal because he had large feet. If ’ large feet are a sign of laziness, there i o “ ' I are a great many lazy persons. Physiology I ' .: “Did you ever take CO 2 into your lungs?” “No sir, I don’t think I have.” “What a for¬ tunate young man!” Another: “What I is a quadruped?” “1 don’t know.” “Are you one?” “I dont t iin v I am.” Still another : “How does man resist heat ?” “By putting on more clothing to keep it off.” I Generally a stranger can tell the girls’ side of the school room from the boys’ by a rapid glance at the desks, whenever he visits a school. In ours, however, he will be deceived ; for the fashion of trimming dresses with but¬ tons, not as large as jilates, has done more mischief to the backs of the seats and the edges of the desks than the average bov’s knife. Glacial action is well represented.

Z -V any. Next came the Molson residence at the neiglihoring point, when ' we got milk without money and without ])rice,—the first article of food or di-ink that we had not ])aid for. At dinner time signs of a heavy thunder shower warned us to pre])are; we |)ut the coverings on the canoes, clothed ourselves in rubber, and sought the j)rotection of some thick-branched trees. It was a false alarm, as the shower ))assed around us, but “grumbled and rumbled and roared” as if it had done mischief somewhere. Accident number two: A spark from our lire, unknown to us, hid itself in the bag which covered the frypan and tins to keep them from crocking the boat and ourselves. It was not discovered until it had burned the bottom off. As we had no ])ieces of cloth with us, we were in a quandary, but the sacrifice of a handkerchief made the sides meet.—Let us give a word of advice just here: Three or four bags of cotton cloth well ])araflined, which will hold a quart or two, are very con¬ venient for provisions. We wei’e then nearly oj»})osite Pawnee Rock Camp, before mentioned, and thoughts of the spring there made us thirsty, so we crossed over to renew our acquaintance with cam])ers and spring. We then recrossed in an oblique course to Long Island, to find the Balanced Rock and a camping place; for “the shades of night were falling fast.” We nearly ' circled the island before finding the rock, and com})leted the circuit before finding a place (south-west point) open enough to pitch our tent. The rock is certainly well balanced, tliat is, if stability and balanced are equivalent. We did not disturb it; a double yoke of oxen might have done so—possibly. There is good fishing off the island, and it is, therefore, a favorite camping place. As there were signs of a stormy night, we hastily pitched camp; but a second time there was more noise than water, and we Avere hap[)ily disappointed. (To be continued.) e-rsll O •g ' g?
