LAVENDER LEAVES.

The waving corn was green and gold,
The damask roses blown,
The bees and busy spinning wheel
Kept up a drowSy drone.
When Mistress Standish, folding down
Her linen, white as snow
Between 1t laid the lavender
One summer long ago.
The slender spikes Of grayish green,
Still moist with morning dew,
Recalled a garden sweet with box
Beyond the oceans blue,
An English garden. quaint and old.
She nevermore might know:
And so she dropped homesicS tear
That summer long ago.
The yellow sheets grew. worn and thin,
And fell in many a shred;
Some went to bind the soldiers wounds
And some to Shroud the dead.
And Mistress Standish rests her soul
Where graves their shadows throw
And violets blossom, planted there
In summers long ago.
But still between the royal rose
And lady lily tall.
Springs up the modest lavender
Beside the cottage wall
The spider spreads her gossamer
Across 1t to and fro
The ghost Of linen laid to bleach
One summer long ago.

USE STRANGE KITES IN THE
FLOWERY LAND
Cinnamon Fly Kind That Is Nearly
All Tail

Kites with which the Chinese amuse
themselves might be called all tail or
all kite. They are really a string of
kites, one of which consists of disk
of thin paper, held in shape by a very
light hoop inside of the tail. To ball
ance it properly in the air light
withes or sticks are stretched across
the disk, acting on the same principle
as the balance pole which the per-
former on the slack wire carries when
doing his act.
In flying the Chinese kite it is lifted
few feet in the air, and held as taut
as possible by one man taking hold
Of the rear of it while the other grasps
the side. Advantage is taken of the
air current, as in ordinary kite flying,
and the man with the cord seizes his
opportunity and starts on run, letting
out the cord as the kite ascends.
The kite will nearly sustain itself at
the height of so feet or so, and if the
Chinaman is an expert he can put it
up" at the first attempt with very lit
tie trouble.-Mail and Express.

According to act Of Congress the Post

that in the year there has been q marked

makes the following recommendations.
