Pearls that nod on swaying stems;
Not the CLEAN of diamonds cold,
Not the souless fash of gold

Amethysts of pansies dark.
Fuchsias like the ruby's spark

Spices from the pinks' deep hearts,
Frankincense of violet,

sweet Enough for You.

A little dream of white,
And a little stream of blue,
And that's the Easter bonnet
That is sweet enough for youi
A kiss beneath that bonnet
Is as sweet as honey-dew
And the ribbon blue upon it
Tangles all the heart of you!
a little dream of white.
And a little stream of blue
And that's the Easter bonnet
Our dear old sweethearts knew!
A kiss beneath that bonnet
Made your glad lips wish for two,
And that's the Easter bonnet
That is sweet enough for you!

The earth awakes from sleep,
And joins with us in worship

While those with sorrow laden
Lift up in praise their voice,
The dreary night has vanished,
The nations all rejoice.
Oh glorious Easter morning.
The message that you bring
Is dearer than the sunlight

For all the bells are ringing,
And in one sweet accord
They tell the joyful story
OF Christ, the risen Lord.

With incense fill the air,
The rosy sunlight fingers

A NATURAL QUESTION.
That Arises with This Is, Do These
Stubborn Welsh Walk
SPANISH!

A very long time ago the British gov
eminent ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. AS result,
in 1895, colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fed from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts of Patagonia.
These men were heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in a desert where not a plant would
grow, where the water was bracl1ish
and the heat intolerable. They were
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savages, and made them warm friends;
they were ruled by foreign govern
ment, and became loyal citizens.
Through long years of want and fam
inc they never despaired. They have
turned the desert into beautiful fer
tile country, have become rich, number
5000 people, have extended their string
ofsettlements right across South Amer
lea, own a paying railway, and ship
large crops of wheat, wool, ostrich
feathers and quanaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyr
amy of the English language, and now,
rather than talk Welsh, they converse
largely of their freedom in excellent
Spanish.

THEY SET GUARDS.
Many Animals Post Sentinels to
Watch While They Work
and Play.

It is well known that many animals
appoint one or more of their number
to act as sentinels to guard against sur
prise while the rest are asleep or feed
ing or at play. Among the animals
using the word in it's widest sense-that
are thus prudent may be named the
following: Wasps, ants, chamois and
other antelopes, prairie dogs, wild
horses, rocks, swans, Austrian cocka-
toos, zebras, quails, certain monkeys,
famingoes, New Zealand silver eyes,
slugs and other birds, marmots, mou-
fon and other sheep, seals, African wild
cattle, huanacoes, elephants, etc.
Perhaps the best known of these are
the prairie dogs, who burrow their
homes in the earth in little villages,
with regular streets and everything.
All around these villages, bolt upright,
sit wise little dogs to keep lookout
while the others sun themselves at the
doors of their burrows or play. Let a
strange animal or a man appear and
one of the little sentries at once banks,
and in another instant there is a twink
ling of heels, and not prairie dog is
to be seen until the danger is past.

POMP OF POWER.
Great Ceremony Attends the Nightly
Locking of GfbraItar's
Gates.

Perhaps the favorite sight of Gibra1-
tar is the daily procession at shutdown
for the locking of the town gates. The
keeper of the keys, looking very like
prisoner despite his uniform, marches
through the town in the center OF a
military guard, preceded by regiment
al band, which plays inspiring and ia
miliar tunes. The keys, of enormous
size, are borne aloft before him as an
outward and visible emblem of the vigil
lance of Britain in guarding her prime
military treasure.
On arriving at the gates the guard
salutes, the martial strains strike up
with a redoubled paean of triumph,
while the great doors slowly swing to
and are solemnly locked for the night
Then right-about-turn, and the process
sion marches back p the convent to de-
post the keys in the governors keep
ing, conveying by its passage an assur-
ance to the people and garrison that
they may rest in peace.
Once the gates are shut it were easier
for camel to pass through the eye of
needle than for any unauthorized per-
son to go into Gibraltar Even a be-
lated officer returning from pig-stick-
ing beyond the lines would be confront
ed by SO many Ior1nalities and the ne
cessity of inconvtniencing SO many high
personages that lie would probably pre-
fer to encounter the discomforts of a
Spanish inn without.

Crop Report.
Secretary.

The following is the crop report for
the week ending June 10:
The average temperature over the
northern portion of the state ranged
from 60 to 65 degrees, which is about
6 degrees higher than that of the pre-
vious week, while along the southern
border the average temperature was
about 10 degrees. Very high temper
atures occurred early in the week, e5-
pecially in the southern counties,
generally reaching maximum of 80
degrees or above.
Severe local storms occurred over
the western portion of the state, ac-
companied by extremely heavy rains
and high winds. At La Crosse 4 80
inches of rain fell within the "A hours
ending Monday morning. Some dam
age to crops resulted from these
storms in a few localities. Farmers
have been delayed in the cultivation
of corn by the continued wet weather
and the fields are becoming weedy.
The crop has, however, made excel
lent progress during the week.
Winter wheat and rye are headed
out well. Some damage done by high
winds and heavy rains. The wet
weather for oats and barley caused
very rank growth of straw and many
pieces, especially on lowlands, were
beaten down by the rains. Grass and
pastures are excellent. Glover is in
bloom and the prospects of a good
hay crop are very promising. Tohac-
co plants have made excellent growth
and preparations are nearly completed
for transplanting
