THESE IDLE DAYS"
{ have read from the great book of na-
furp

{ have read from the great book of ma
ture,
How the seasons increasingly roll;
And where myriads Of stars are unfolded
BY night, on the heavens wide scroll.
have learned that their law is to labor,
lnaction would wreck the great plan
That holds worlds upon worlds in their
orbits.
And governs the frail life Of man.
There is never a night in the summer,
SO still but the dew dripping air
Is keen with the singing Of insects
At work in some cool grassy lair;
And the day. rising bright-eyed and
rosy.
From the depths Of the green eastern
sea,
When it trails down the western horizon,
viii be morning on some distant lea.
When winter lies chilling around us,
Each snowbound and skies sullen gray,
In the heart Of the trees, gaunt and leaf
less,
There's a song Of the sunshine Of May;
And the flowers that dropped in the au-
tumn,
Are waiting to grow up anew,
When the springtime shall smile bright
welcome
To brooklets and grasses and dew.
SO these days that seem clouded by wait
ing
With listless and sad folded hands,
While all of life's brightest pndeayor
Has fed with times vanishing sands,
May be only some wise preparation
For part in the infinite plan
That has governed the worlds since crea-
ton,
And considers the brief life of man.

Bermuda's Revenue from Lily Bud ,

Bermuda's Revenue from Lily Bud +.
The Bermuda lily was introduced in
to this country in 1875. Two plants in
bud and bloom were brought to Phila-
delphla by lady and given to the for
list. This florist, approaching their
beauty and value. cultivated the plants
for the bulbs. Since that time the ex-
porting of the lily bulbs has been one
of the industries Of Bermuda. Very
few lilies are exported. as the cut flow
ers do not arrive in good condition. Nor
does it pay to export the growing
plants, because of the duty and the cost
Of freighting so delicate a cargo. The
bulbs are exported all over the world
and are a valuable source of revenue.

Because the cook won't allow the

PEKIN, Dec. 22.-The Ministers met yes
terday TO consider the Interpretation to be
placed on parts Of the protocol, they
having been requested to do so by the
Chinese. The first point considered was
the confscation Of smuggled firearms
formerly done by the Chinese officials
who offered rewards to informants. 1t was
decided that the Imperial Customs should
sell such seizures at present.
The second point was whether a twelfth
OF the annual interest Of the indemnity
should be paid monthly or the amount
collected by the customs, this amount being
variable. Sir Robert Hart. Director OF the
Imperial Maritime Customs, desires that
tho amount collected be paid, while some
Of the Ministers want al exact twelfth
for the convenience Of bankers and TO pre-
vent speculation. The matter was not de-
cided, but it is understood that the Chinese
will pay a twelfth part Of January.
The Ministers will shortly reply to Sir
Robert Harris request that he be informed
