And the loved and the1Ost we thought persisted

To beam on our raBturous sight.
Sweet Easter-ttde pledges their coming.

Oh, here IS the DafLa for our heartachey

In the countless greenIblades of the meadow,
The sheen Of the dHffOdilIs gold,

In the tinkle of brooks through the pasture,
The rivers strong sweep to the sea,
Are signs of the day thatis hasting
In gladness to you and tome.
So dawn in thy splendor ofliIies,

Thou triumph of life over deathi
For fresh from the earth's quickened bosom
Full baskets OF flowers we bring,
And scatter their satin soft petals
To carpet path for our King.

the tar. The tar is applied until the
leather will absorb no more. The
soles become hard and tough and i'm

use the following mixture: Four
ounces of tallow. one ounce of bees

Singular Faculty of a Lunatic.

A pa lent formerly confined in the
Hospital for the Insane in this city
seemed fond of reading, and in taking
up newspaper it was noticed that he
would read withou he e,itation whether
the paper was sidewise or bottom side
up. As further test of his powers
one of the attendants held a newspaper
spread out before him, keeping it con-
stantly turning around; still, with
wonderful case, the lunatic continued
TO read uninterruptedly. To test hin
still further reel was produced, and
the paper spread out and attached to
the arms, the whole being then placed
before the patient. No matter how
rapidly the reel was turned, the WON
derful creature would read article
after article aloud without seeming to
be disturbed in the least. We have
never heard whether the singular phe-
nomenon was continued, or even
whether the patient is still living OF
not.-[Hartford (Ct.) Post.

WAYS0F SMUGGLERS.
Many People Evade the Law
Despite Constant Care.
Utilizing a Dead Horse to
Smuggle Cigars.

Smuggle Cigars.
In spite Of the vigilance of customs
inspectors and the almost perfect
working Of the secret service. SNUG
Cling is continually carried on and in
some degree, and for ingenuity in
ways that are dark and tricks not al
ways vain the smuggler is an
adept. Steamers from South Amer
lea and the West Indies and tramp
steamers bring in cigars, liquors, and
great variety of merchandise not on
the vessels manifest, which finally
gets on the market without paving
tribute to the government, and prob
ably never great transatlantic liner
arrived at this port that did not bring
some goods which We're smugglcd
through.
The ingenuity of the smuggler is
great. Som} years aro, when the
Barge Office was used as a landing
place for cabin passengers, Custom
House officer one day stepped up to
respectable appearing, well dressed
woman who, with her husband
was standing waiting to have her lug
gage examined, and requested her
presence in the searching room. She
carried small travelling bag in her
hand, and he made her bring thai
along, too. She was, of course. in
dignant and her husband uttered all
sorts of threats against the officer for
what he denounced as "this outrage,
But the officer calmly opened the
bag and took therefrom a soap box
and from the soap box a cake of soap
The cake of soap had been used and
looked like any other innocent piece
of toilet soap. But when the officer
cut il in Two with his knife nest of
sparkling diamonds of great beauty
and value was disclosed in its interior.
low the customs officers knew that
woman, that trave ling bag and that
cake pf soap is a mystery, but one no
doubt susceptible of an easy solution if
all the facts in the.case were known.
The secret setyice has its agents
-Assss'';sglesa and the great trouble with
womcn smugglers is that they will
talk, especially when they have hit
upon some particularly ingenious plan
for smuggling. Sometimes portly
women will enter the seizure room, to
emerge tLcgcfrom greatly emaciated,
but leaving behind large quantities of
valuable lace.
The smokes acks of steamers from
the West Indies have been known on
several occasions to yield up many
hundred dollars worth of cigars. In
fact, the smokestack is favorite place
for hiding smuggled goods. This sort
of smuggling is done by the crew who
work under the double disadvantage
as rule Of having to evade the watch
full eyes of both the officers of the
steamer and the customs officers.

Another Guess at the Queens Name.


A correspondent who seems to know
what he is talking about writes TO the
London Times protesting against the
vulgar error of supposing that the
family name of the present reigning
dynasty in Great Britain is Guelph.
If the royal family can be said to have
/. family name that name is d'Este, not
Guelph. The last Guelph of the male
line was Guelph Ill, Duke of Carin-
thia. He died without issue and left
the representation of his family to
his only sister, Cunegunda, who, in
1040, welded Azo d'Este, Marquis of
Este. From this marriage, in direct
male line, descended all the members
of the royal and ducal families of
Hanover and Brunswick, whose correct
family name, therefore, is d'Este.
That this is the case is evident from
the fact that the children of the late
Augustus Frederick Duke of Sussex)
whose marriage with Lady Augusta
Murray was invalidated by the royal
marriage act of 1772, assumed the sur
name of d'Este, not Guelph.
There are very many, however,
who maintain that when she welded
with the German prince consort Vic
toria forfeited her maiden family
name (whatever it was), and that all
Ier Children should be regarded as
members of the family whose name
their father bore, this being the custom
and law of Christendom.-[C Chicago

A Barrier Between Them.

4 little British expedition recently
steamed far up the Benue branch Oh
the Niger River in small steam
launch and finally entered tributary
of the Benue and explored a region
which no white man has ever vlslteu
before. The most interesting thng
about their journey was the curious
experience they had with the
natives. They had been passing Tor
a good while through aregion that was
inhabited by Moslem blacks, fruits
of the rather severe methods of con-
version employed by the Arab invaders
of the SOudan.
The country was very fertile, and
the people were numerous; but all or
q sudden, though the country still wore
its usual aspect, and the soil was ap-
parently rich, population entirely
ceased. For stretch of over twenty
miles not a hut was to be seen, nor
was a single sign of human life any
where observed. The expedition Won
dered at this remarkable state of affairs,
for the country was certainly inviting,
and they could not imagine why it had
no inhabitants.
All at once. however, as they round
ed a bend in the river, they saw big
crowds of natives running down the
slopes of the hills to the bank. They
brandished their spears at the white
men on the little boat, and told them
to go back for they wanted no Moslem
in their country. There was an inter-
prefer on the vessel who succeeded in
convincing the natives that the visitors
were not Moslems, and thereupon the
people became quite friendly. Then
the reason for this curious lack of
population was ascertained.
When the tribes who had been con-
verted to Islam found that the natives
near them were just as strong as they
were, the spread of their religion in
that direction abrubtly ceased, but
these heathen people and the Moslem
converts near them could not live at
peace with one another. 1t was finally
decided that, as they could not be good
neighbors, a stretch of country should
be placed between them where no one
should live, and in that way they ex-
pected to get along with less blood
shed. So all the people who inhabited
this fertile region, about twenty miles
wide, packed up their little belongings
and moved away, and this stretch of
country thus came to be without a
single inhabitant. Today it is No
Mans Land, and the only reason is
t'st the people who are neighbors
there cannot live on friendly terms,
and, having .ired of fighting, have put
this barrier between them.- New

The Princes Bow and Arrows,

There was little Prince Of spain
Lived very long ago,
Who said the big horizon
He would bend il like a bow.
His arrows in the form Of ships
He'd shoot, and make them 20
To many undiscovered lands
Where gold and diamonds grow;
And so this little Prince of Spain
Longed for the years to go
Until his arm was strong enough
To bend his mighty bow.
And so this little Prince OF Spain,
Like little boys you know,
As the advancing years went on
Did maryellously crow.
And he became the King of Spain
And made the ships to go
To many undiscovered lands
Where gold and diamonds grow.
His arrows in the form Of ships
Swung idly to and fro,
For though his arm was very strong
He could not bend his bow.
We all are princes Of the blood,
Who build our ships to go
To many undiscovered lands
Where gold and diamonds grow;
But still on old familiar seas
They wander to and fro,
And hug the immemoria shores
Where landward breezes blow.
And like the little Prince of Spain,
Who lived so long ago,
We have our arrows ready
But we cannot bend the bow.
