Singing conducted by Prof. Mack. •Mrs.'McRea took up the poem "Picola" ^again, analyzing the many attributes of .-the poem, being very careful all the while to keep uppermost in the mind of S-fctae child the central figure in the selection. Careless analysis may obscure s'the essential thought in the choices" gems of literature. Implant in the child's life the beautiful star of hope.
Literatures valuable only when it may be applied in the formation of your own character. There may be a fact, yet it may not be tauth.
After a short intermission, H. H. Yoder, Superintendent of the San Francisco, Cal., Normal school, was introduced to the institute. He warmly com-
mended the work of Mrs. McRea and Dr. McMurray in pie^enting their discussions in such a practical way. He made soma practical remarks en the subject of Geography. Would teach progressive geography and assist the child iu compiling a geography of his own. He dwelt some length on the use of sand tables. Would teach map work by drawing the parts or places with an outline as the child progresses. He presented many interesting devices to be used in teaching the subject.
Miss'Katie Marshal, of Greenfield, favored the institute with a well rendered recitation. Her theme, "The Power of Song."
Dr. McMurray again took up the subject, of Apperception. The true teacher does not l»ok upon his -work lightly, but must become enthusiastically proud of hia noble calling. We should seek the spiritual truth in all that we would teach. The child must feel the need for the new before it is thrust upon him. •The teacher's business is to lead the child to feel that need. The poor teacher Is a strong factor in making the child mentally sick. You may comprehend the theme, yet have no love for it. You1 must associate the theme, with 'your p*stv experiences. Gray's Elegy was taken as
cj%
a basis fbr his discussion. -The Doctor ably led the teaclieis into the beauties of I that iuimoit il poem, matching the feelings portrayed in the poem with the feel ing his listeners.
The closing exercise of the day was a discussion ot queiies presented by the various members of the institute. Quite an interest was manifested. Prof. Thompson, of the Hope Normal school, took part in the discussion. After a few announcements, the institute adjourned till 9:30 Wednesday. 9:30
A. M. WEDNESDAY.
Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev, Net-hercut, of Greenfield. Dr. McMurray contined his subject, Apperception. Teachers should be conscious of the great purpase of tchcol woik. Have a definite aim in view. To accomp.ish this aim necessitates the most carecul daily preparation upon the part of a teacher.
Keep in mind the difference between the abstract uiid the concrete aim in dealing with children. Make the mind of the child receptive before you offer the facts. Determine the strong joints in the child and draw him out on that line.
D. M. Geeting State Superintendent was introduced to the institute. "Ideas govern he world" and rdtas govern us. If ideas h.ive such power, what power must idea* •_ x'.'rcise over the individual. Ideas burn themselves into our mature. The teacher's duty to mould the ideas of a community if the previous ideas be fa-jliy Of what benefit is a teachers'.instruction, if that tea :'uer does not live that which he ivou'd implant in the child's lift-'

FREAKS OF FASHION.
OLIVE HARPER NOTES A CURIOUS UPHEAVAL OF STYLES. ,.
All of Which Shows That There Is No Accounting: For Taste—New Costumes and Wraps—The Rage For Fur Trimming.
Swan's Down.
[Special Correspondence.]
NEW YORK, '•*—I think I have never seen such a curious upheaval in fashions as I do now. In one place they will show you a gown that might have belonged to some duchess or marquise whoso very namo is forgotten and tell you that that is tho only proper thing and that in less than two months we shall all be wearing just such things. In another place we may find a superb creation that reminds us of nothing, unless that its richness may force a thought of tho qucon of Sheba or Solomon in all his glory.
Sweet Simplicity.
Then you will seo a dainty array of sweet simplicity. Thero was a gown of light taffeta in ono place that was a perfect

Tho under portion of tho skirt consisted two knife plaited ruffles, each lour inches dee ). Above these there was an ovcrskirfe cut- with great round twbs, which fell over tho rul'il-es. These tabs h:id ruflies all around them, and above tho rufiles were three milliner's folds of satin to match the silk in shade. Besides these there were three clusters of folds around the skirt., seven, five and threo folds in tho clusters. The waist- was full and gathered into a belt, and on the shoulders there was a stiff and wide collar nearly covered with fine folds, and the whole bordered wi:h a knife plaiting. The sleeves were puffs, ending just below tho elbow with still' upturned cuffs. Tho whole gown was so stiff that it fairly balanced as the young "trier on" walked slowly tip and down tho room.
Another Style.
That was one style. In another quite as fashionable a place then was a gown for a young girl for her coming out days. This was ot line white ehudda cashmere. The skirt hung from the waist in severo unbroken Ikies. It v::?s ftd! without having the appoai'/tnco of being so. Down the front, of ho skirt thero was onoi^flat band of black guioure. insertion over baby blue satin ribbon. The belt was made in tho same way. Tho waist was a "baby" with threo lines of-the ribbon and insertion. Tho neck was cut half low and simply piped with the blue. The sleeves were elbow puffs, with three rows of insertion down from the shoulders. There was no finish at tho elbows. What a pretty and maidenly dress this was I despair of making any one. understand. Chudda cashmere is rather yriff ami hairy to tho touch, but the folds would delight, an artist. It comes in a dull frosty, pale grayish blue, impossible to exactly describe, in mellow ivory white and in a faint blush jjink. I have not found it in any other color. It is the same stuff as the groum hvo'k' of India shawls of the finest quality. -'Therefore one does not find it on'fhe bargain counters.
Young Mutronliood.
From there to another place took mo from tho realms of grace and youthfulness to tho superb beauty of young matronhood. For such I found a gown of heavy black peau do soie and a black satin and velvet brocade so stiff and sumptuous as to mako it seem a sin to cut it. The wlvolo skirt, which, by the way, was demitrained, wTas made of altornato breadths of tho plain and tho brocade, but these breadths were not over 10 inches wido at the bottom. Thoso of tho brocade were wider than the plain ones. Each narrow breadth was slightly rounded so that the bottom lay in scallops. Thoso made of brocado had a quilling of tho silk, made double. The waist was a peculiar combination of plain silk and brocade, jet passementerie and rich black thread lace. Tho lace was arranged on the shoulders to fall "over the arms like a very full fancy cape. Tho col-

The belt was amass of large cut jet beads, with shor't ribbon loOps at tho sides. Tho full fluted fronts were of thread laco, Tho brocado is what Is called cisele, or carved, and that., is a very suitable name, as the velvet .figures stand up above the surfnee sharply. I was. told in this connection that therp yrili he much heavy velvet and pdus^ bKXfado -for wluter wear, and velvet Mid pU»in. pltish.wUl bq very papularvvthe'1 Velvet for street and., carriage .atfcira and jhe .pluph^ foy otogan't home costumes... .%Vru
The velvet and^push brocades will show large figures. Indeed such material could not be handled in small figures at all. Plush in seal brown and black will lie and, in fact, is now being made in long box coats and quaint mantles as well as deep capes. Some of these have stole collars of long fur.
I was informed in tho finest fur establishment that wo have that there is a greater demand now than there has ever been before for strips of trimming of mink, raccoon, skunk and marten. These are to be employed as trimming for every sort of garment and handsome dresses for every possible requirement, some even for dancing dresses. Grebe I notice in quite largo quantities for muffs and collarettes for youug persons, and swan's down is decidedly "in" after having been almost entirely "out" for a generation. That is tho way of the world. OLIVE HARPER.
SIASCON3ETT-IN-THE-SEA.
Mr. Munkittrick Pays His Regular Annual Tribute to the .Sandy Shore. [Special Corre.siwutlenco.]
SLASCOXSETT,
Mass., Aug. 12.—Siascon-
sett is still floating in tho sea safely anchored just opposite Spain, but far enough away to keep from being mixed up in tho fortnightly West Indian revolution, which keeps the manufacturers of arms from going into bankruptcy. After tho usual summor 6welter in New York I find it very comfortable hero in an overcoat, not tho leather overcoat with copper lining worn during tho summer by tho Jerseyman to keep tho mosquito's scarfpin from penetrating the epidermis, but the light, airy overcoat which is the brother of the roseate summer drink which wafts ono to fairyland. The peacock disports in his feather duster, and all is lovely as an infant's dream. Siasconsett is still Siasconsott, and that is tho highest prah-e one can bestow upon it. Nothing ever cjiangcs down here except the weather and §5 bills, but tho former is the more easily changed, even by ono who has never had professional experience in the weather bureau. Yesterday a man found a diamond pin that ho lost last summer right on a beaten path. In Xsw York it would have boon caught on tho l'ly while descending from the owner's scarf. If you we-ro to stand tacks on their heads down here, the natives would never liotie.'.i them or pick them up with their feet. As a result of the. fine weather whale stories are larger than they were this time last year. I mean tho same stories .are larger—so much larger that it' takes longer to toll them. In fact, tho whales that figure in them have grown to so great a size that- it is estimated by conservative persons that hundreds of barrels of oil were lost by gathering them too soon.
Tho bluefish aroalsorunning and swimming weli. I' saw an 11 pa der yesterday that was caught by a man who had. wired a silver dollar on his hook. This shows that even biuolisli aro.ihuc.il by ho spirit of the age in which we li\e. It is probably due to the, fact that when close to shore they hear mercenary people discussing everything
from
tJit*, dollar point of view.
Ono of the great eharms '.-f this placo is tho spirit of Amf.'ieanism ihat pervades it from Sanpory li^htht,:o Underbill's china shop on the Ida:?. When you go to be shaved, you d.j 's. land on an earl and carom on a duke eve:, in tho barber. It is a great, blessing, and one for which wo should be duly thankful, 1 hat there are neither natural nor ari if'elal noblemen hero, and it is fortunate that the best markets for coronets and feudal eastles are at Newport and Bar Harbor. Tho only royal personages recognized here are tho kings and queens that, abound in packs like foxhounds. A beautiful macadamized road is now being had from Nantucket, to Siasconsett. About two miles of it, aro now finished, and next year, when it is completed, the bicycler will be in Ins element and never know a puncture. This will put tho horses into eaves for winter use, and tho poor equities wiio have been trudging across the morass through tho ruts wiil doubtless feel happier compounded as mock turtle and ox tail soup. This finely ballasted bluestono road frightens tho horses in the same way that, a large wholesome meal frightens a hungry man, and the drivers arc now certain that they wasted ho money they spent, on their horses in former years for nervous prostration. Tiny are so lively that, they don't seem like Siassctt horses, which will probably mako them amenable sooner or later to some tyrannical blue law. About a week ago tho stone arches broke down, and sinco tho date of that accident so anxious aro they to push tho good work ahead that they have been crushing the stone with lithia. water.
Tho only mosquito I ever saw here must have come down with mo from IS'ew Jersey in my boat. After I had gone to bed this Morristown nightingale began to play a drum solo upon my tinpanum until I thought I was back in my own house, around which tho mosquitoes aro so plentiful that, I throw them into tho summer tenant without extra enarge. When I heard the trou frou of this specimen and felt his tail feathers trailing softly along my nose, it made me sail and surciiaryed my soul with a melancholy about, threo sizes too largo for it. But he didn't attempt to bito me. IIo seemed to rejoice in tho fact that he was with me that knew his ways. And then I knew ho was irom New Jersey, for ho perched upon my nose as it ho would tenderly embrace me and began to cry in tho bitterness of his woe. And as great saline tears dropped lovingly from his oyes into mine* he sat on his hind legs like tho leader of an orchestra and began intoning tho names of the stations on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. But the mosquitoes of Now Jersey, biting as they ilo with the sting of a tax collector, aro not much greater in numbers than the prairie dogs will shortly be on this ocean island. They are multiplying like Italians just at present, and when the native sees them eating tho corn for which he charges tho alien from Now York !JU cents dozen ho immediately pulls tho lobster pot out of tho sea and sets it on the farm. A flock of these dogs will altacl^a lino green farm and in a few hours lca^ nothing intact hut tho utensils and the mort...age. Foxes and quail liavo also been put on tho island. Tho former aro now extinct, hero, and the quail wero so greatly reduced in numbers last winter by tho snow and cold weather that, a jaw has been passed to protect them for three years, during which time tho poor native'must be thankful while hotakesliis toast straight. Tho weather is like that of September at the present, time, and this is about tho regular thing. It is a poor man's paradise, just as a bicycle is a poor man's four-in-hand.
