Once more the balmy zephyrs blow The very breath of sprlngtime; And, after winters overthrow, To golfng days now bring Time. An! well enough for winter play When red balls are the right ones; But better Is the play of May When right balls are the white ones.

Tt is a matter of corresponding in- terest to remember that as these dis honest clerks well know, the trap which places he manacles around their wrists is the same old trap, like the same old bear trap, reliable and certain to hold fast once 1t is sprung, only 1t catches their pilfering hand instead of their feet. It is the decoy letter which the postal thief quickly and slyly picks up and secretes about his person or else where, and once it Is in his hand the trap is sprung, the hand of the lnspec- tor on the case closes about his wrist, and he walks to the station house to ru- minate how easily he was caught once the inspector decided upon the man of the force who was the guilty among the honest
 Now, since every postal employe in the United States knows that once the officials are suspicious of theft along his route or postal car run that the inspec- tors lay all sorts of traps for him be- hind the bars why will they steal mon- ey letters with apprehension practically inevitable? Because human nature Is the same in all callings, and the postal empoye is cast in no different mould than the rest of us is only his envi- ronment Yes, they know instantly, in- stinctively whether letter contains money, as a bank teller can tell by the feeling of a bill before he looks at 1t that it is counterfeit.

Rev. Dr. F. F.. J. Boyd, rector of St. Marks Church, Cleveland, has defined his attitude toward one of the vexed questions. Let our hardworking broth CTS know that our God Is not fashioned according to the Puritan pattern" he said. T do not speak of professional baseball but it is my belief that any man, especially If he be one of the toil- ing masses, may be present at game on Sunday without committing a breach of the law of the Sabbath day If he be a protesting Christian, I should consid- CT that he had done wrong in being present at a game unless he had paid homage to God in the early hours of Sunday morning and was ready at the end of the day to return to His house and give Him thanks"

Herbert Spencer, in his new book
 "Facts and Comments" has this to say of the current jingoism aff1icting both England and America: "So long as the passion for mastery overrides all others the slavery that goes along with im- perialism will be tolerated among men who do not pride themselves on the possession of purely human traits, but on the possession of traits which they have in common with brutes and in whose mouths bulldog courage is equiv- alent to manhood. Among people who take their point of honor from the prize ring. in which the combatant submits to pain, injury and the risk of death in q determination to prove himself the better man, no deterrent considerations of a higher kind will have any weight"

An interesting discovery has been made at Stanford Bishop, England. Dr. James Johnson, the eminent antiauari- an has found an old oak chair in the village church which is said to be the most perfect example of ancient Brit ish carpentery extant. It is believed to have been used by St Augustine at the synods held between A. D. 59O and 6O3 The chair is made entirely of oak, with out any form of iron work It is oblone in shape, the outside measurement be- ing 32 inches in length and 22 inches in width. Four massive posts, with two boards oil each side mortised into them, form the supports. The seat is 26 inches in length and IS inches in width, and appears to have originally been inches in thickness. 1t is movable like the lid of box; the hinges being two round tenons inserted into mortise holes in the rear posts.

Mississippi, Ar kansas and Idaho. It is not explained why these States are not represented, but perhaps 1t is due either to the mod esty of their inhabitants or to their unwillingness to comply with the usual Carnegie conditions. Altogether there are now S6S cities and towns in the United States with Carnegie libraries.
