In olden times the Hebrews, return

pluck the grass from the field three or
four times, len throw it over their
heads, suggestive of the resurrection
We pick not the grass, but the flowers,
and instead of throwing them over our
heads we place them before our eyes,
right down over the silent heart that
once beat with warmeSt love toward
us, or over the still feet that ran to
service, or over the lips from which
we took the kiss at the anguish of the
last parting.
But stop! We are not infidels. Our
bodies will soon join the bodies of our
departed in the tomb. and our spirits
shall join their spirits in the land of

Tho Dear Boy.


A newspaper man sat in the study Of
the pastor of swell Fifth avenue
church one Sunday night awaiting the
appearance Of the clergyman. The par
sons 10-year son strolled in. He
was very smart young gentleman in
deed. His collar and cravat were trf-
fle horsy. His left hand was worn in
his trousers pocket in approved fashion.
There was a suggestion of blase interest
on his face as he scanned the visitor.
..Repotah, I believer he said at
length.
Yes, " said the newspaper man meek

'Fawthaw rarely sees repotahs on q
Sunday. Yorah business with him is
aw-urgent, presume.

man.
Then there was another silence, the
gaze of the youngster making the visit

very inferior lot indeed.

''And, . said the newspaper man affa-

he replied, and his tone was distinct

Since A. d. 1910.

Born in 1919, her majesty has, Of
course, passed the period allowed by the
psalmist as the average for earthly en-
joyments and sorrows. The world into
which she was born was troublous;
memories of Waterloo were still fresh;
Napoleon Bonaparte was still alive, and
a prisoner; capital punishment was
awarded for almost any offense; the
wager of battle was still unrepealed;
riots prevailed all over the country;
Lord Edward Fitzgerald was under at
tainder; Sir Charles Wolseley was in
dicted in Chester; John Cam Hobhouse
was committed to Newgate by speakers
warrant for pamphlet disparaging the
house of commons; the Earl Of Fitz-
william was dismissed from the lord
ieutenancy of the West Riding; book
sellers were imprisoned for selling
Paine's cage of Reason the country
was ringing with the news of the Peter
loo massacre, when the yeomanry fred
upon the mob, and Henry Hunt, the
chairman of the meeting, coming up to
London for his trial, received an eva-
tion.
Such was the stormy political world
into which the royal infant came. 1t
is edifying, though purposeless, to COM

/ Fire and Air.

The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for fire. The experiment
Of burning candle in closed vessel
now SO familiar to every schoolboy, is a
very old one, and the influence of g
blast of air on furnace had been prob
ably noticed from very remote period.
By some it was affirmed to be the food
OF fire, while by others the same belief
was embodied in the phrase, ssAir nour-
ishes fire. " Again it was long ago OBJ
served that niter, substance well
known to the chemical philosophers Of
the past, could produce intense ignition.

the Presence of minute particles Of tkis

The important bearing Of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one Of the chief constitn-
ents of air and the one to which it owes
its power Of supporting combustion, al
SO forms the largest elementary constit-
uent Of inter and is likewise the source
OF the power possessed by that body of
supporting combustion.
The action of heatson metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
a philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, in noticing the increase
in weight that lead undcrgoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas in
the air which feeds flame and which re-
kindles body presenting an ignited

mHo cINpgRELLA REALLY WAs.

Her Story Is Very Ancleat and Appears
In Sacred Hindoo Books.
The story of Cinderella is substantial
" the same as that told Of Rhodopis
and Psammitiohus BY Elan, who lived
IN Rome in the third century Of the
Christian era. The story, as told by
ELAN. is that while Rhodopis was bath
ING. an eagle carried away one Of her
sandals aud dropped it near the feet OF
Psammitichus, king Of Egypt, who, like
Cinderella's prince, was struck by It's
dilniuutive size, caused the maiden TO
he sought for, and married her when
found. Make the sandal glass slipper
and add the ugly sisters for the sake OF
contrast, and the stories are much the
same. The glass slipper, by the way, is
an acknowledged fiction, being in real
itv INSTRUMENTATION Of "pantouie en-
yair" "a fur slippery, and not ZEN
verre. ="
This. at all events, Is what is claimed
by Perrault in his "Contes de Fees
Both these stories have doubtless com
mon origin, but 1t is necessary to &c
further back in the history of the litera-
ture to find tito people who lived IL
a period compared with which that OF
even Elan is quite modern. 1t is IN the
Vedas. the four sacred books of the Hin
docs, that the origin is to be found. :.
After what has already been said, II
will not be surprising to learn that Gin
derella is a dawn maiden, her sisters
being the powers of darkness, who
compel her to wait upon them, keeping
her hidden from sight. The dawn maid
en- breaks from her bonds, and capti-
Yates the sun, remaining with him tol
a time. But she cannot linger with him
in the heavens; she can remain only
until certain hour. Once she fingers
too long, and, hurrying back, leaves Oh
the path she has taken a token OF hel
visit in the form Of fieecy cloud
which had borne her aloft when she LEFT
the regions Of darkness. The sun, deter
mined to find her, sends out his ennis
saries (the rays Of light, but does MOI
find her until she appears before him az
the evening twilight. In the Vedas tbs
prince is called Mira, which is one o.
the names given to the sun.-LondoI
