Excuse me, though-than put down pills,

To put down the old fashioned, huge,
bitter pills, that grippe so and make such
disturbance internally, is more than a wise
man will do. He will not put up with such
unnecessary suffering. He uses DR., Pierces

of these tiny, sugar coated granules act

THE LARK MOVES UP THE SKY.

When pale Selene in her crescent boat
Sails down unto the margin of the West
Through shoals of stars that twinkle in un-
rest,
In fancy's bark follow her and float
Der sapphire seas to dreamy realms remote
And at my side there goes feathered guest
Who sings to cheer me, and the air is blest
With melody responsive to his notes.
On, on journey in the starry wake,
And all about me is the purple dark
Whence blow the winds by which my
bark is borne;
And suddenly the poppy fetters break,
The moon is gone and in the field lark
PAYS tribute to the faint pacific morn.

On property where the rabbit shoot
ing was strictly preserved, upon the
southern coast of England, boy was
once caught with two dead rabbits in his
possession, and nothing else that would
account for their decease. A search of
his pockets revealed nothing but two live
crabs of small dimensions, the end of a
candle, and box of matches. Under
promise of release the urchin was per-
suaded to disclose his method Of proce-
dure.
First he selected likely burrow and
then he stripped off his clothes, putting
his coat over one hole, his trousers over
another, and his shirt over the third
He lit the candle and dropped a little of
the grease upon crabs back and stuck
the lighted candle thereon, and then put
the crab at an unoccupied opening
Straightway the frightened torch-bearer
fled sideways into the darkness and ex-
plored the innermost depths, while the
boy, expectant as terrier, awaited
events outside.
Presently a rabbit bolted into the coat,
and boy, rabbit and coat all rolled over
together, the boy rising from the fray
with the rabbit in his clutches What
happened to the crab the history did not
relate. Let us hope that the candle was
extinguished by other means than burn
ing itself out.-Loadon Spectator.

The Lotus.

The lotus, hasu, is of great importance
in the legends and superstitions, and also
holds high rank in all the arts of Ja-
pan. Many centuries ago the lotus was
brought to Japan from China, where, as
well as India, all water lilies were, from
remote ages, held in sort of venera-
ton, being accepted as special symbol
of fertility and reproduction.
Buddhism took the lotus as a symbol
of its teachings, and it occupies signi6-
cant position in the worship of Buddha,
who is often represented seated. upon the
lotus leaves. According to an old In
dian legend, silva sat upon them and
looked ON when the world was swallowed
up in the great food. As the lotus lifts
up its buds out of the Shiny water to
greater or less height, unfolding its beau
tifnl leaves and flowers in matchless pu-
rity and perfection, with no trace of the
impurity whence they have sprung, so the
souls of men, according to Buddhist faith,
rise from the slime of sin, by their own
power and effort, to different heights OF
greatness and perfection.
The lotus is also associated with the
spirits of the dead, and hence is consider
ed out of place in scenes of mirth and
merry.making, and is never used for
decoration on such occasions. 1t holds,
however, high rank in the floral art,
being regarded as the king of flowers
In all floral arrangements the leaves play
the most important part, and they are
often selected to express the three Bud
dhistic divisions of time-present, past and
future. Past time. is symbolized by a
decayed or worm eaten leaf the present,
by handsome, open leaf, called mirror,
from its resemblance to a japanese mir
ror; and the future, by curled, half
opened leaft.
No flower excites more interest in for
eign visitors to Japan than this majestic
lily as it rears its rosy-pink or white bios
SONS high in the air. 1t grows in the
greatest luxuriance, thousands of blooms
being seen in small ponds. As its roots
are edible, it is cultivated for ornament
and use.-DemOrest's Family Magazine.

Montague, in mis- essay on conversation,
