The traveller in Palestine sees not in
frequently a parable of the Gospels
acted out before him. One of these liv-
ing pictures passed before Frances
Power Co5be, as she was riding
through the low hills which bound the
blighted flats Of the Dead sea. In her
Life, by Herself" she describes the
beautiful sight and the impression it
made.
While riding alone, few hundred
yards ahead Of the caravan, she met a
man, the only one she had seen since
passing a few black tents eight or ten
miles away. He was a noble-looking
young shepherd, dressed in the camel's
hair robe, and with the powerful limbs
and elastic step of the children of the
desert.
Round his neck, and with its little
limbs held gently by his hand, lay .
lamb he had rescued and was carrying
horne. The little creature lay as if
perfectly contented and happy, and the

supreme.
There is perhaps nothing more dis
agreeable TO the average lover Of corn
fort than to have to spend z winter in
tho suburbs, writes one Who has had
the experience, in Harper's Bazar,
where there Is nothing at all going on
but the household bills, and where the
wind blows The Snow about at such a
tate that when the boy digs a Path TO
the sidewalk, IL IS So well covered by
the time he reaches the street that he
has TO make a new path that he may
set back TO the house dry.
And then the wind means 6ismally
about the chimney all night. and shakes
the house so that tie pictures swing on
the walls, and the quinine pills rattle in
merry tattoo in the bottle on the
bureau. And this wind blows down
the chimney, and makes the curtains
flap Like sails, ard cools the room, and
blows the ashes of TIE hearth until the
room seems filed with a dense London
fog. The milkman doesn't arrive until
the head Of the house has left for the
train. Then comes a leal. in the roof
that lets the slush triclEle down into
the swinging lamp. The plumbing
bursts, and a plumber cannot be had,
because he goes first 70 the richest man
in the town, and all the pipes are
frozen. Then the 5nowstorm comes IN
der the dooT-all but the snow-bird.
But now all the hardships are over
The snow has gone, the frogs are croal1-
ing, the bluebird is singing and the
violets are blowing in the twinlIling
grass. The smile OF spring gilds hills
and valleys like a gentle benson, and
the air is throbbing with a wild magic
music that makes one feel Young and
happy. The lambkins are capering
about in widest glee, and the long
bright days, shimmeriRg in gold and
painted with lily and lilac, fade away
like a fairy dream.
And the rurllite is happy, FOR now be
gets his great reward Tor suffering
there all winter. Now, in the rosy
reign Of spring, he sGllies forth full ot
the music of gladness-he has rented
his house for the summer.

Trout Caught When It Is Too Dark to
See.
In the clear streams of western New
York Gncluding the celebrated Spring
creek of Caledonia in which l have
fished for several years, it is the custom
TO do great deal of night-ishing in
July and August, as at that season the
large fish seem to be moving and feed
ing only at night, writes an angler in
Forest and Stream. Many anglers
there do not start for the stream till
after dark during the hot weather, and
though smaller trout viii rise at dark
as before, the largest ones are almost
invariably taken much later, pertic-
ularly on warm nights.
OF course the leaders and flies used
at night are much larger than those
used in the daytime, and long cast is
not necessary. It is the custom to let
the fly sink, and bit of worm on the
fly is a great help, though, Of course,
one does not dwell on that feature

Spring In the Pacific states.

Portland, Ore, is in about the seme
latitude as Montreal, and Seattle, the
chief city of Washington, is about the
latitude of Quebec, but the spring in
the Pacific states is more like that of
old England than it is like that of
New England. In old England the
buds and blossoms begin to show life
as early as the first day of the new
year. Shakespeare speaks of npring
flowers that take the winds of March
with beauty" and some English spring
flowers are found even in December,

Walter Amos, we'll known dairy
man OF Andes. N. Y, one day this
week missed from his pigpen one OF a
litter OF eight pigs that first saw the
beauties of Delaware County scenery
week ago. Mr.. Amos would not
have paid much attention to the loss
but for the fact that tho missing
squealer was the smallest one OF the
lot, and he had given IL TO his little
girl for pet. Little Jennie Amos
would trot ont to the pigpen half
1ozen times day, and, mounting
milking stool, peer over into the pen,
nntil she was satisfied that Trilby, rs
Mrs. Amos called the new pet, was
,afe. after which she would run back
,ontentedly. This was kept mp till
;wo or three days ago, when Jennie
missed her pet. Mr.. Amos strongly
suspected that Trilby had been acci-
lentally stepped on, and that her
mother had indulged her appetite with
, morsel of fresh pig.
Meanwhile the family cnt had
brought Joy to the juvenile members

Jennie IL she had had anything to do
with the transfer and found she hud
not. Then he took Trilby and put
her back with her mother aud brother
and sister rooters, and watched for the
return of the old cat. She returned
in little while with n couple OF field
nice, on which she made her luncheon,
and then jumped over into the shaw

she noticed the absence OF Trilby she
made mournful ado, moping and
crying around the woodshed and look
ing carefully into every hole and cor.
ner. Mr.. Amos watched her through
a crack in the woodshed as she started
for the pigpen. Over the top and
down into the straw she went. Only
a few seconds elapsed before Mr.. Amos
heard squeal, followed by consider

inside of the pen. Then the old ca'
came into view holding the squealing

loped lightly across the yard, and II
