A curious Scotch rhyme concerning the
calculation of Easter runs as follows:
First comes Candlemass,
And then the new mune,
The next Tuesday after that
Is aye Fasting cen.
That moon out,
And the next at its height,
Then next Sunday after that
Is aye Pasche right
1t is said that tins rhyme has never been
known to be inaccurate before, bat if it is
worked out for this year it will be found that
it places Easter day on April %.

Floods in Texas.

Disastrous floods prevailed in Texas last
week. The town of Water Valley, con
tanning 800 people, was washed away, for
tunately no lives were lost. Travel OF
several railroads was suspended owing tt
the washing away of tracks and bridges,
and telegraph and telephone lines were
destroyed Rain fell almost necessarily
for FIVE days, and at times it seems to have
been in the nature of cloud hurst.
Dispatches Sunday night and Monday
from Austin say that the increased volume
of water which came down the river under
mined the powerhouse at the dam, and II
fell into the river, carrying with 1t $500,
600 worth of machinery. No one ha'
been able to enter the buildings since the
recovery of the bodies of the eight men
drowned in it when the food first burst
upon it.
Rivers are now falling The railroads
have lost many small bridges, and it vii
be a week before traffic resumes Its normal
condition.
Smithfield reports tremendous rains have
fallen throughout that section, the main
food in the Colorado from the break in the
Austin dam reaching there this evening.
Il is estimated that over 5000 acres Of
growing crops in the bottom lands within
FIVE miles Of town have been inundated by
from 10 to Is feet. The loss will be over
$50. 900. The stock has been drowned.
The situation here is most serious. All

They had too much color for beauty

them as the out-and-out dairy-naid type,
and there was scarcely one of them who
did not look as If she would be improved
by the judicious use OF a. powder-putf
They were free from cosmetics OF any
kind however and seemed natural.
ut was among the sweller set OF
women that the use of paint seemed ram

to be seen who had not applied rouge with

red from the box opposite her as to the

most of them would have looked better
without them.
NJ remember especially one conspicuous
woman in society who has very black
hair and the high color that frequently
belongs to it. But this apparently did
not satisfy her. Paint was evidently
something that had to be put on with the
