In the Evening.

The night has come with all her silver
train,
The moonlight sleeps the sea,
The hour has come that can rest again
And dream of thee.
The air is still, the western sky is gold,
And far on lawn and lea
The shadows bring the happy thought of
And dreams of thee.
The sweetest hour of summer day is
ending;
The song of bird and bee
To the still time their influence is lending,
And sing of thee.
The rest serene on earth and heaven
bringeth
No rest to me;
No song to me the lonely night bird
singeth,
Weary for thee.
Thy shadow haunts the balmy summer
even,
By land and sea;
Between me and the happy moonlit
heaven
Rise thoughts of thee.
stand beneath the stars, whose quiet
shining
But brings to me
The thoughts of olden times, the weary
pining
For thee, for thee.
The lime trees breath comes waited from
the river
The same old tree
Where, in the happy years gone by for
ever,
stood with thee.
o God! to see the calm familiar faces
OF sky and sea;
To see all things unchanged in the old
places,
But only thee.
To feel the longing will, the yearning
weary,
Thy face to see;
To feel earth's brightest scenes grow pale
and dreary
For want of thee;
And know that while the stars shine on
in heaven
No sun shall bring to me
Thy presence. Only as itcame this even,
In dreams of thee.

The British budget was pre-
scented to the House of Commons
last Thursday and the Govern
ment asked authority to borrow
$500, GOO, 900. In round numbers
the expenditures of the Govern
ment during the fiscal year, which
ends on April 80, have amounted
to S917 900, 900, while the receipts
have been only 1851 900, O00.-
Consequently, despite heavy tax
alton, there is a deficit of about
S266, 900, 600. Of the expendi-
lures, according to the Chancel-
statement, about 1926, 900, 900
was devoted to carrying on the
war in South Africa. This sum,
of course, was only a part of the
total cost of the war.

Rain, Snow and Floods.


Pittsburg, Pa, April 20.-This
city is the center of a widespread
and destructive storm. For a
radius of $50 miles in Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia rain or snow has been
falling almost without intermis-
sion for three days. Mountain
streams have become torrents,
creeks are swollen and out of their
banks and the big rivers are
oceans of water. The financial
loss cannot be estimated. In adj
dition to the hundreds of thou
sands and perhaps millions of
dollars it will cost to put large
manufacturing plants in commits
sion again, tens of thousands of
skilled workmen are thrown out
of employment and lose their
wages just at a time when all the
ieion and steel mills are rushed
with orders. Tonight thousands
of persons are lying in upper
rooms of their water-soaked
houses, without heat, light or food.
Reports from the rural districts
show that the storm has caused
heavy damage in the farming
communities.
Irwin, Pa, April 20.-The con-
tinual downpouring of rain for
the past four days, and still fall
ing, has done much damage in

How Woman Was Made.

Valuable as illustrating the ancient
Oriental conception of the character of
woman, is the following legend, which
an English writer, Mr.. Baine, has trans
lated from Sanskrit book, "The Surg
ing of the Ocean OF Time," recently
brought to light by psychologists:
"At the beginning of time, Twashtri-
the Vulcan OF the Hindoo mythology
created the world. But when he wished
to create woman he found that he had
employed all his materials in the crea-
ton of man. There did not remain one
solid element. Then Twashtri, per-
picked, fell into profound meditation.
He reused himself as follows:
"He took the roundness of the moon,
the undulations of the serpent, the en-
twining of climbing plants, the tremb-
ling OF the grass, the slenderness of the
rose vine and the velvet of the flower,
the Gghtness of the leaf and the glance
of the fawn, the gayety of the SUMS rays
and tears Of the mist, the inconsistency
of the wind and the timidity of the hare,
the vanity of the peacock and the soft
ness of the down on the throat of the
swallow, the hardness of the diamond,
the sweet flavor Of honey and the cruelty
Of the tiger, the warmth of fire the chill
of snow, the chatter of the jay and the
cooling of the turtle dove. He united all
this and formed a woman. Then he
made present of her to man. Eight
days later the man came to Twashtri
and said:
"'My lord, the creature you gave me
poisons my existence. She chatters
without rest, she takes all my time,
she laments for nothing at all, and is
always ill.,
"And Twashtri received the woman
back.
"But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said:
"'My lord, my life is very solitary
since returned this creature. remem-
Der she danced before me, singing. l
recall how she glanced at me from the
corner of her eye, that she played with
me, chung to me-
"And Twashtri returned the woman
to him.
"Three days only passed and Twashtri
saw the man coming to him again.
My lord, said he, do not under
stand exactly how, but am sure the
woman causes me more annoyance than
pleasure. / beg of you to relieve me
| of her.
"But Twashtri cried: Go your way
and do your BEST And the man cried:
Il cannot live with her!' Neither can
you live without her. replied Twashtri
Sand the man was sorrowful, muir
muring: Wo is me, can neither live
with or without her,"
