The Lake OF Lilies.

Twelve miles north OF Norwich.
Conn. is one Of the most wonderful
lily ponds in all America. 1t is lake
one mile in diameter. so closely grown
with lilies that during blOssoming
time it is hard 10 get glimpse OF the
water. When the wind is strong and
the lilies are open the perfume OF
them is perceptible quarter OF a
mile from the brink of the pond. So
thick are the lilies and in such tar gled
masses that it is almost impossible to
propel "a boat in the pond and the
lily gatherers have to wade for them
in hip rubber boots. Not only are the
lilies extraordinarily plentiful, but the
blossoms are more regal, perfect lus-
trous and OF deeper hue than in other
ponds.

Mrs. o,shea and the Queen.

Mrs. OShea, who has legalized her
relations with Mr.. Parncll by becom-
ing his wife, is not unknown to the
queen, who mt any rate up to few
years ago was wont to treat her with
much consideration and affection.
These sentiments on the part of her
majesty were due to the fact that Mrs.
O'Shea's grandfather, Sir Mathew
Wood. was one OF the most generous
and kind friends Of the duke of Kent,
the queens father. The duke was
hard pressed for money all through his
life. and especially so in his declining
years, SO much so, indeed that he was
forced to live good deal abroad for
the sake OF economy. In each OF his
many financial crisis, however the
purse of Sir Matthew Wood was open
TO him in the most magnificent man
ner. and ii was solely due to a loan
from this source that the duke and the
duchess of Kent were able to proceed
to England few weeks before the
birth OF their child, Queen Victoria.
Had it, therefore, not been for
Matthew Woods generosity her maj
esty would have been born In Germany
instead OF in England an event which
would have vastly facilitated the noto-
rious designs OF the duke OF Cumber-
land to obtain possession OF the throne
in her stead. l may add that one of
the very first acts Of the queen on her
accession was to confer baronetcy
and other honors on Mrs. OShea's
grandfather.

The Oldest Town.

The Oldest town in Texas. and ii Is
believed in the United States, is Ysleta,
situated on the Rio Grande, and near
FL Paso, the chief town in the county
by that name. 1t has population of
1900 souls.
The place is one OF peculiar inter-
est alike from its age, its people, its
architecture, its agriculture and its
general products. 1t is a well-estab-
lished historical fact that Spanish
military explorer, named Coronado,
visited the town in 1910. and found it
then populous and prosperous civil
lied Indian community. He was i'm
mediately followed by the Franciscan
friars, who erected church and estab-
lished schools.
Ysleta Is believed to have been a
considerable centre of population Gen.
turtles before the visit OF Coronado. IL
is not littlo curious. considering the
advance of civilization from Europe,
that the same race OF people exists in
the town to-day as existed three hum
dred and fifty years ago, and that they
are engaged In the same agricultural
and mechanical pursuits as their fore
fathers ut that period, and for ages be-
fore.

Swarm sd on tn, Farmer.

Peter Goss, who lives near York
Springs, had been working hard all the
morning recently, and about 10
o'clock concluded to take a nap under
a cherry tree. He had just fallen into
a doze when he heard a buzzing sound,
says the Baltimore American. He
awoke to find n hive of bees swarming
on his head. Rushing into the field he
thought that by covering his head
with earth he could get rid OF them.
But that did not have the desired ef-
feet. Being on the crest OF one OF the
high hills which surrounded his house,
he then threw himself on the ground,
gave his body a shove, and down he
went, rolling over stones, sticks and
bushes, until at last he reachee the
kitchen door and landed against the
porch. BY that time the bees had
left him, and although he was very
much cut and bruised none Of the
wounds was serious.

The Little Fish-Seller.

Impossible is it to tell where little
act, once started, will end. For this
reason the Christian, especially the
young one with his life still before him,
and anxious to crowd into it all pos
sible, should be alert and watchful,
ever ready to help draw another into
the golden way and thus serve his
King. DR.. George Prentice, in the bio
graphy OF Wilbur Fisk, recently pub
lished, relates the following incident
in the life OF this great man, which is
illustrative OF this power OF small
things for bringing about great good:
When pastorin Charleston, in 1919,
Mr.. Fisk one day fell in with n boyish
fish seller BY words and deeds of
politeness which were entirely natural
and unaffected, he soon made the ac-
quaintancc and secured the respect OF
the youth, and induced him to attend
services at his church. Thus began
the friendship between Wilbur Fisk
and Isaac Rich, which continued until
thoy were parted by death. But for
these simple expressions OF Christian
courtesy, these is no reason to sup
pose that there ever would have exist
ed Boston University or that Mr.
Rich would have poured out his
wealth on the affairs OF Christianity.

Good Manners at Home.

The presence OF good manners is no.
where needed or more effective than
in the household, and perhaps no.
where more rare. Whenever familiar
ity exists, there is a tendency 70
loosen the check upon selfish con-
duct which the presence OF strangers
involuntarily produces. Many per-
sons who are kind and courteous in
company. are rude and careless with
those whom they love best. Emerson
says, GOOD manners are made up OF
petty Sacrifices" and certainly moth
ing can more thoroughly secure har-
mony and peace OF the family circle
than the habit of making small sacri-
fees, one for another. Children learn
good manners in the best and most
natural way, and habits thus acquir-
cd will never Leave them. Courtesy
and kindness will never lose their
power or charm, whilc all spurious
limitations OF them are o be despised.
