Easter and Easter Lilies.

Once more the beautiful Easter season Is

Morning stars a bright watch keep
Ger the nodding earth;
Rainbows gliSren in the dew

While the glad spring has come and all
nature calls for the joyous songs of earthly
creatures, the
angel hosts together shout,
While the day stars sing;
Darkness is forever furled,
Jesus Christ is King"
The season, SO emblematc of the resur-
rection not only of Christ, but of all nature,
is welcomed by all. though this year
Easter is much earlier than usual, it seems
as if the season had advanced to meet the
Easter tide for the birds are home again

and blossoms are bursting forth in rich pro-
fusion, and the Easter lilies lift their pure,
white petals and nod dreamily in the
breeze Never were there such a profusion
O lilies before. Today ! saw over Il hun
dred jars, all filed with lilies in full bloom,
and as I looked, l did not wonder that
Christ had said, not even Solomon in all
his glory was arrayed like one of these"
No wonder the lily has been selected as the
emblem of purity. The flower is suggestive
of all that is pure and lovely, and we'll chos

their wide sleeves. These pockets are
always filed with a curious miscellany
peculiar to the droll title people. AS
common as twine in Young Americas s
pocket is the prayer amulet written on
delicate sheets of rice paper and com
posed by the BONES In accordance
with the abiding and funny faith OF the
Japanese women these prayers are
swallowed, paper and all, like pill in
cases of mental and physical distress.
Another essential. never missing, Is
a number OF small squares OF silky
paper, which is put to the most unex-
pected purpose-to hold the steam OF
