Easter Morning.

Open the gates Of the Temple;
Spread branches of palm and of bay:
Let not the spirits of nature
Alone deck the Conqueror's way
While spring from her death-sleep arises,
And joyous His presence awaits;
While morning smile lights up the heavens,
Open the Beautiful Gates!
He is here! The long watches are over,
The stone from the grave rolled away;
I'VE shall sleep" was the sigh OF the midnight
I'VE shall rise" is tne song of to-day.
Q musici no longer laEaenting,
On pinions Of tremulous flame,
Go soaring to meet the Beloved
And swell the new song of His fame!
The altar is snowy with blossoms,
The font is vase of perfume;
On pillar and chancel are twining
Fresh garlands of eloquent bloom.
Christ is riseni with glad lips utter,
And far up the infinite height,
Archangels the paean re-echo,
And crown Him with Lilies of Light.

Miss Margaret Reid,s Tour.

Frank Leslies Weekly, in recent num-
Der, he's the following to say of an Indian
apolis singer:
Lovers of music will be glad to hear that
Margaret Reid is planning to come to the
United States in 1898. She is now making
grand opera tour in France with Maurel
and between this and her engagement at
Covens Garden for the London season she
hopes to revisit her mother country. Re-

in her Paris home. Next TO her piano. the
most important member OF the household
in evidence is her dog. Mephisto, who, like
his mistress. has won honors before the
world. including the first prize at this years
dog show. Whoever rings at her door hears
from Miphisto single proud bark, full of
dignity as coming from one whose father
resides in the London Zoo. Here Margaret
Reid leads life of absolute devotion to her
art But written all over this gentle little
priTna donna Is an iron determination which
marks her as an indomitable worker.
1T is three years since her last visit to
the United States. Then she sailed into
New York harbor entirely unknown; now
she arrives with the applause of European
audiences still ringing in her ears. She was
born in the bluegrass region of Kentucky.

REMEDIAL GYMNASTICS.
A New and Scientific Adaptation of
Physical Culture.


Physical Culture.
New York Mail and Express.
In one of the schools of expression OF the
city curious novelty has been introduced
which thus far has been followed by very
gymnastics for their own benefit, and also
that they may teach again. IN addition to
this, they are taught remedial gymnastics,
turn they will know how to treat many
physical disabilities and ailments. In teach
Ing this branch of medical science, the men,
bers of the class are made to learn the
symptoms Of nearly every known disease.
Miss Curley, of the Phalo Club, in describ-
ing the method said 1T is ingenious. One
of the spine, and every student has to sim
ulate the attitude and actions of a sufferer
from that trouble, and to apply the treat
ment necessary in each particular case,
while on another day every one of us is
suffering from consumption. On third oc-
casion we may have bronchitis, while on a
of various stomach and head troubles. Some
of the young ladies become very clever in
mimicry, and at seconds notice can as
sumo pose that would excite the sympathy
of any uninformed spectator. Oddly enough,
those girls succeed the best who are in the
finest condition physically, and those who
are suffering in any respect find great
trouble in initiating until they have cured
their own ailments. This odd method gives
a better practical knowledge Of the diff
culties to be overcome than any mere read
ing or even the use Of manikins which was
the former practice Within a short period
the student knows from her own body just
exactly what tissues, muscles or joints are
at fault, and what effect each movement.

1t is in reality applying to remedial gym
nastics the same principle of instruction as
is followed in schools for first aid to the
injured and in the practice work of the Red
Cross Society, when there are sham battles
and make believe campaigns. The students,
however, have not gone as far as the regu-

Everyday Talk VS.. stage Dialogue
Brander Matthews. in scribner's.

bTdllucT hdltHCWS, al G1NIADACA
If we give heed to the conversation we
hear all about us every day, we are sur
priSed to discover how slovenly it is, the
most of it-how involved. how full of repe-
titions, how studded with broken phrases
and with sentences that begin anywhere
and end nowhere. Very rare is the man
whose remarks will parse and whose con-
versation )es not abound In restatements.
When we write out from memory the turns
OF a dialogue in real life, we recall and set
down only the significant remarks and
those which led up TO these--the insignifi-
cant words. the repetitions, the digressions
we suppress as though we had never heard
them. Probably the stenographer in n law
court is the only reporter of human speech
who does not cut out tautology and
straighten out grammar. The most prolix
and tedious of novelsts has never dared
to cucumber any chapter of his most slug
gish story with the half of the trivial
verbiage that would have accompanied a
similar discussion in real life. If this va
riaticn from nature-the convention of con-
densa tion-ss necessary for the novelist
.whose pages are as marry as he shall please.
IL is d0uby imperative upon the playwr1g gglt,
whose minutes are counted.

cally by three or four large concerns in New York, Chicago and Boston. These houses have an agent who buys for cash whatever mica is brought by the miners. They control the market
 and fix the prices to be paid to the
 miner, as well as the prices for which it is sold in the markets.
 Mica 1t need hardly be said, is very valuable, almost precious, mineral, as those who are obliged to buy small strip for thelr stove doors will testify, A package worth hundreds of dollars can be carried in a basket slung over
 the arm, or in a pair of saddlebags on
 horseback. When prepared for the
 market the solid block, as taken from
 the mine, is pitt into sheets. These are
 cuts into squares or rectangles Of al- most every possible size, from 2x2 inch
 es up to 8x10 inches and sometimes
 even larger. There are no less than 1S3
 regular sizes kept in stock by dealers.
 The mining of mica is the poetry of
 mining. It is impossible to conceive of q more exciting and fascinating em-
 ployment. The vein of mica bearing
 quartz, lying between rocks of different IOIIldblOIl, HAS DGGIl lOulltI. iC Sdp
 rock has been blasted away. Little
 "nigger- heads '--small Jumps of crumb-
 ling mica mixed with slate and other
 rock--are growing plentiful. The rock is carefully examined by the experience ed miner, and all indications are that
 mica will soon be found. A blast is
 made The rock and debris are clear ed away, and there in the bottom is a
 block of the precious stuff, a ragged
 corner showing itself black and glitter
 ing in the white quartzs in which it is imbedded. With the tips of the fingers the miner gently and effectionately brushes away the dirt and small stones which partly cover it. Its thickness is carefully noted, its position in the rock is learnedly discussed, and many a speculation indulged in as to it's size and quality. The hole is quickly drill ed, the small blast is made, just loosen- ing the rock and all eagerly crowd around as one of the men with his pick pulls away the broken stone. There it lies, black, glittering mass, nine or ten inches across it's face, three or four inches thick, and irregular in shape as all blocks of mica are. A good sized block, and, if solid and of a perfect cleavage, will be worth several dollars. The excitement is not allayed however, and will not be until the block | is split open and we know how it looks on the inside. It is a very bad thing to split open block at the mine, and contrary to all rules, for there is dan ger that the fine, polished faces will be | scratched.-From Godey's Magazine for | July.
