City Conservatories.


The modern conservatory is not in
tended for the cultivation of flowers,
but merely as a place to advantageouslv
display them, says an exchange. Trop-
zeal foliage is preferred, not only be-
cause it is decorative, but because it
comes from the shadowy, sitting jun
giles and can be appropriately housed in
the steam-heated, shaded city house.
For Conservatives such as these there
ore no gardens. They are stocked and
tended by some city florist. When
rich man wants conservatory he goes
to his florist and tells him the sort OF
effect he wants to produce. The two
talk it over and the florist agrees to
stock and take charge of it for so much
a month. His men look after the health
of the plants The only responsibility
undertaken by the client is the heating
Of the conservatory. If he allows the
plants to be killed by cold he has to pay
for them. They'are mainly palms ani
ferns, of which there are endless varie-
ties. These are not transplanted, but
stand in tubs and pots that may be hid
den in as costly jars as the rich man can
afford. In their season plants in bloom
nre furnished and these are removed and
replaced as circumstances warrant.-

He is in South America, and ne gave me
that ring before he left"
The sick girl frowned and turned her
head aside. The pain-distorted soul
was almost at peace, and resented the
intrusion Of either earthly love or hate.
The compassion in Philip Neff's face
and voice were alike lost on her now.
The solemn tones of the young minister
broke the stiffness. He was singing q
canticle of Easter:
"The strife is DER, the battle done
The victory Of life is won,
The song Of triumph has begun, ),
Alleluia.:
Philip Neff knelt by the side of the
dying girl and gently chafed her cold
hands. She smiled, and her lips FAINT
ly responded: "Alleluia." Then one of
the sisters approached. and Philip drew
Marion away. She was crying softly.
and he said: :
''She has found her Easter, and our
Sunday of Joy dawns. .Alleluia!"-

sour lilies bloom and pass away.
But theirs shall live and bloom for aye"
Marion hac made q very curious dis
covery after the steamer had left Pal
ermo. She had found in the folds of her
dress, as if it had been dropped there,
an antique rlng-a curious arrange
mentf, of ancient gems, set in silver,
which she had noticed on the hand of
the American, Mr.. Neff. Her first i'm
pulse was to show it 10 her aunt; her
next, to keep it as a bond between them
until she could forward it to him. Then
the idea occurred to her that he might
have given it to her purposely-but no,
she did not think he would have VEN
tured to do such a thing-yet love was
daring, and Marion ended the matterby
forgetting it until she reached home.
After that she wore it as a souvenir of
travel, intending TO return it when its
owner came home.
But q strange thing happened before
that time. During the Lenten season
Marion had devoted herself to chari-
table work. She had gone into the
:slums to rescue the most wrctched and
degraded. She had visited the charity
wards of the hospitals, and in St. Mary's
she had found q young creature who
was fast leaving q world that had been
most cruel to her. She had helped this
poor soul up into the blessed sunlight
of divine peace, and knowing that she
had cruelty suffered, had sought to win
from her the story of her life. But her
lips were sealed. She admitted that
she was wife abandoned by her hus'
band. Since she had lost love she would
have nothing else, and had stolen away
to die in a fit OF jealous despair.
Ithappened one day that Marion were

the sick girl, who was known only as
Mabel, the eyes of the latter rested
upon 1t. She gave a great cry.

It was days before she rallied, during
which time the ring reposed on her
own finger; then she proved her right
to it by naming the letters engraved

The scent of the lilies 3 nd the grand
notes of the organ drove out all
thoughts "of sin or folly born" When
the benediction was pronounced she
was filled with a sweet compassion Tor
all weak and suffering humanity, and
in that spirit she passed out and met
Philip Neff face to face. wv StE
It was we'll that she had made an
Easter offering of herself that morning.
She was friendly-there was no need to
be more. She did not take his out

a composed way: ~
"Come to me at two o'clock; have
an engagement for you them"
II will come" he said, and there was
a glad look in his eyes that caused her
moments pang. it was so welcome.
He found her, to his surprise. ready
to 20 out, but he cheerfully acquiesced
in her wish that she should accompany
him, even when she informed him that
her errand was to hospital.
The young assistant of St. Jude's
was there awaiting them. Some flowers
had been brought from the chancel to
adorn the little table draWn ur to the
side of the sick girl. She had partaken
of the feast of Easter, and was lying
back on her pillow when Marion led
Philip Neff to her bedside. and waited
for a mutual recognition. -

himself an intruder at this sacred
scene, and looked distressed, an6 Mabel

"Then why does she claim this ring?"

charge. Easter Sunday was drawing
near, and she had. arranged that the
young minister who assisted at St.
Jude's should conduct service in the
hospital ward.
She had looked forward to the day
with '1nspeakable longing. The stran-
ger who had made such an impression
upon her young heart in that far-off
Siciiian town would present himself
no longer stranger, but almost a
friend, for she had received letters and
credentials, and soon he would speak
for himself. There was nothing to
fear, but all things to expect, and
now,
"Philip Neff is my husband"
These were the words spoken by the
pale lips of the sick girl, and Marion
knew that they were true.
But she had seen anger and jealousy
in the eyes Of the woman she had be-
fricnded, and, cruelty hurt, she had
withdrawn from any contact with her
until Mabel had sent fo- her to come
and make full explanation.
What was there to explain? The ring
had dropped from the hand of Netf
when he laid the flowers in the lap of
Marion. as he explained in answer to
her letter of inquiry. He had asked
her to keep it until he came. as it might
be lost in returning it to him, and that
was all. Other letters had passed. but
there had been no phrase of sentiment,
nothing but the well-turned sentences
of q graceful writer, such rs he might
have written to the chapero1ing aunt.
If Marion had colored them with the
hues of imagination. who then was to
blame? Not he, surely?
Little by little Mabel told her story,
and it revealed a sad state of affairs
between herself and the man who had
married her. She had worn out his
love: with her jealousy, and ran away
from him in. a fit of pique to hide with
an old nurse. She was a creature of
impulse, and he had not known how to
manage her. And he had gene away

know, nor did she ask if he had made
any provision for her. Passionate and

Tho ORIGIN Of Easter.

The English name Easter and the
German Ostern are most probably de-
rived from the name of the feast of the
Teutonic goddess Ostra, which was
celebrated. by the early Saxons in the
spring of the year, and which was sup
planted by the Christian feast. The
adds significance to the name, the time
of the resurrection of nature being
an appropriate time to commemorate
the resurrection of Christ. 1t is from
the heather feast. however, that the
customs of Easter fires, Easter cggs
and the like have their origin.

THE LEGALITY IS QUESTIONED.
Friends and Members of the Board
Claim the Council Would

1t Is understood that the assembly
men and aldermen, with the exception
Of Aid. Allard, the one lone Democrat
in the common council, will hold
caucus today upon the burning ques-
ton, Shall we abolish the board Of
public works?" The lawyers in the
two bodies to whom was referred as a
committee the question of the consti-
nationality Of the law empowering the
common council to adopt the act
abolishing the board of public works,
have had their task in hand for nearly
two months. as the committee was
appointed prior to the organization Of
the new council. AS a result of their
deliberations, consultations and in
vestigations, the majority Of the law
yers seriously doubt the validity of
the law, which many disinterested
members Of the legal profession un-
hesitatingly declare to be special legis-
lation. But that will not necessarily
deter the committee Of lawyers from
recommending the adoption Of the act
of 1895. Their reasons for recommend
ing such action should they do so, were
doubtless expressed yesterday by AS
semblyman Mabon, who said:
