On comparing the papers | with the reminiscences of the worla’s great artists and poets we came to the conclusion that the humsn mind is so organized as to spontaneousiy respond io beauty along cer- tain definits lines. Two papers were read, one by the great Russian writer, Count Tolstoi, and one by a California country caild, showing this parallel. Tolstoi recalled as one of his most beautiful me; “a small pond with overgrown banks. An ancient birch drooped over the pond, partly clinging to the damp bauks, resting its crown on a tail stately ash tree and swaying its curiy branches on the smooth surface of the pond, that gave back the reflections.” The Cali:ornia country boy of 15 writes: “The most beautiful ihing I ever saw wasa littie meadow in between the ioys of thres mouniain peaks, which csst their dark sha ows deep into the glassy lake, while upon the banks grew besutiful green trees, and as they dipped their .ong waving branches into the crystal waters they seemed to be refreshed and made green and more beautifal s, Ah! who can describe such a scene?

The facts shown by this study are tha of the children find the beautiful in at first in isolated details. Theyounger children find an object beautiful on account of its color.

With & true afteducation the nex: geners tion of California children, surrounded by in nature that suggesis the beautiful, would turnish the art and poetry for the world. Miss Anna G. Lyle wes the sensation of the afternoon. Her paper, **The Com- monplace Women,”” was as follows: Imet s man the other day who did not seem to approve of my aadressing the Woman's Co: gress. ~Tell them from me,” he said, “that if you women wi'l persist in clerking, type- writing, telegraphing, telephoning and doc- toring, supp/anting men in the fieid of bread- winning, you will bring about a condition of things that e: ed in Agery.where woman was the beast of burden, ‘the hewer of wood a1d the drawer of water —where man was idle and exvected to be supported.

Among other things Miss Coolbrith said: That which T have to sayin this paper is equally of protest and appeal—protest against, as I consider them, certain inieilectual evils of tne day, and an’appeal for the expression of the higher ideals of thoughi Utlity, practicabi.iy, taste—tnese are tne motive powers of the day, aud in our selfishness for speed and acquisition we are daily increasing the aificultivs and suffering of the mass of humax the laboring classes—and are pushing irom the face of the earth other forms of life which have just as sacred a rightto their places on the globe as have we.

An Essay on Shoalley, and Ad- dresses by Miss Conners and Professor Ross. The congress was esthetic when it broke off for dinner, and it reassembled rumi- nantly esthetic after the twilight, which is so soulful in this balmy clime. The first number on the programme was a paper by Mrs. A. H. Washburn of San Jose, “*An Examination of Matthew Ar- nela’s Criticism of Shelley’s poetry.” She spoke of one as the greatest English poet and of the other as the greatest English eritic, and took issue with the critic in his estimate of the esthetic bard that the poet wes incoherent, and that he and Brron, and Burns, and Ccoler:dge, and Keats and Southey were lacking in great subjects. Arnold could not and would Thay T the soul of the more ethereal Snelley. Mrs. Washburn’s paper wa« marked by great purity of diction and her reading was eraceful and like the subject— womanlv and esthetic. Miss Moliie Conners of Oakland bhad been set down for a paper on ‘“The E: thetic Element in Early Education the paper, but made a brilliant offhand speech on the subject that carried her hearers with her and made them regret that her talk was not twice as long. It was snappy, every sentence striking fir Professor Edward A. Ross of the chair of economics in Stanford University read a paver on “Eaucation for Enjoyment or Cultare.” It wasa plea for education in the appreciation of the beautiful in nature and in art. Rev. Eliza T. Wilkes, a winsome little woman with a sweet voice, closed the ses- sion and bade her hearers farewell, she having been called away to the scene of ber labors elsewhere. There will be no morning session to- day. The congress will open at 2 o’clock with the following programme for the day: 2 p. M. —Profescor C. B.
