No sweeter music left on earth?
Are there no sunbeams, birds, or flowers 7
No quiet days, no happy hours?
That you must tune your song
To ruin, shame and wrong?

Is there no hero left to sing
Whose story has a truer ring?
Must the whole world be searched In vain
To find Drawer, clearer strain?

Is this the climax of the years,
OF human interests hopes and fears?

EVERYTHING is MAoNlFlEp.

Artist La Farge's Impressions of Ha-
waits Lake of Fire.
There is now only vapor; sulphurous
fumes that float up and obscure the
distance and go up into the skies. But
as the twilight begins fires come out
and the space is edged with fire that
sometimes colors the clouds of vapor.
At one side a small cone stands up
that burns with an eye of red fire. From
time to time this opening spits out to
one side little vicious blotch of fire.
The clouds of vapor rise so as to blur
the distance, but near by the rocks are
clear enough, and either black, or far
Their Off where they are cliffs, are green
ish-yellow with sulphur. Sizes become
uncertain. l could swear that this lake
was a thousand feet long; but Awoki
and the guide walking along reduce
the lake to real proportions, writes John
La Fargo in Seribner's. Then 1t is only
a small lake of some $50 or 200 feet,
perhaps. But the impression still re-
mains-all is so thrown out of refer
ence. The hole is so uncanny; the sky
above, purple In the yellow of the aft
erglow and partly covered with the
yellowish tone OF the hellish vapor,
looks high up above us. l sit (and
sketch) on the absurd rocks, and then

But then the country rose more rapid.

channels in the rocks In order TO get
out and away to sea. Owing In part
to the wear of the water itself, but
more to the ceaseless bombardment Of
the suspended sand which it bore from
the up country, or picked up as 1t went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which it swept on In
flood time. the river kept cutting down
as the strata rose, until finally, when
what was left of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above its erstwhile rocky shores, it

Writing Of Civic Festivals and Pro.
cessions,' in the Century, Charles r.
Lamb says on the subject of the flag in
decoration:
"The Stars and Stripes, though not the
most successful piece of decoration, can
still be so treated as successfully to com
bne with any scheme; but to do this il
should be massed over doorways or
stands, or, if used separately, should be
hung repetitively from the windows along
the entire line of parade preferably on
one Of the upper stories, so as to give a
continuous line of red, white and blue
from house to house
"The American flag Is not impossible
of successful treatment; we lTave already
begun to initiate the French manner of
raying small flags in an upright position
from a common base, and repeating these
groups at intervals; but the tricolor bunt-
ing is one of the most difficult to use sat
isfactorily, because the equal proportion
OF red to blue is not a fortunate color
combination. 1t would therefore be ad-
visable that the committee in charge
should select those symbolic 'colors which
would be appropriate. and use them in
such quantity as would give a definite
color-scheme to the entire line. The sug-
gestion made by the National Society of
Mural Painters that the naval colors,
blue and white, REINFORCED with gold and
natural green foliage, should be used in
the Dewey reception parade was proba-
Nv the first recognition given of the me-
cessity of other colors than the patriotic
rod white and blue

why Pounds Are Sterling.

Business men are always talking
about so many pounds sterling; yet
probably not per cent of them are
aware of the origin Of the term. II
dates back to the time of Richard
Occur de Lion, when money coined in
the east part of Germany came into
count of It's purity, and was called
Easterling money, because in those days
all the inhabitants Of those parts were
called Easterlings. In the course of time
some of these Germans were brought
to London, and the pieces they mint.
ed soon became known as sterling from
the word Easterling. -London Elk.
