Tribute TO IBsEN.

Poem by Edmund Gosse In Honor OF
Ibsen's Birthdny. VI
Edmund Crosses tribute to Henrik
Ibsen on entering his seventy-flfth year.
March 20. 1902, was poem OF lauila-
ton which has been extensively pub
lished in the English papers. It is giv-
en- herewith:
Red Star, that on the forehead of the
North
|. Hast fared SO far and with so fierce
a blaze,
Thy long vermillion light still issues
\ forth
Through night of fir-woods down thy
water ways, ,s
And draws us up its sinister wild
rays;
Lower it falls. and nearer to the sea-
But still the da-.1 horizon flames with
thee.
All stars and suns roll their predestined
course.
Invade the zenith. hang on high and
Thrust onward by some godlike secret
They twinkle. flush. and. cen they
fade. they burn. t
Each drenched at last in it's historic
urn;
Each sloping to its cold, material
grave:
Yet each remembered by the light It
gave.
Thy radiance. angry Star, shall I'LL the
sky,
When all thy mortal being hath de-
cayed;
Thine is splendor never meant to die,
Long clouded by mans vapors, long
delayed,
But risen at last above all envious
shade.
Amid the pearly throng Of lyric stars,
Thy fighting orb has lamped the sky
like stars.
And when the slow revolving years
have driven
All pearl and fire below the western
wave,
Though strange new planets crowd our
startled heaven,
Thy soul will still bear on its archi-
trave
The light. reflected. that thy luster
Hail. burning Star! A dazzled Magi-
Kneel to thy red refulgence till die.
Edmund Gosse.

The New York papers report that
the Health Department Of that city
has seized as dangerous to health
nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold
for baking powder and dumped them
into the offal scow to be destroyed.
More Of the powder was found in /, :

port Of the analysis Of the Health
Department stated that it was IAN
alum baking powder" containing alum
and pulverized rock.
The different Health Authorities
seem to have different ways Of re-
pressing the sale of bad baking pow
ders. In England they have prosecut-
ed the grocers under the general law
and broken up the traffic. In Missouri
the sale of alum baking powder IL
actually prohibited by law. In New
York they seize the unwholesome stun
and cast it into the river without any
discussion. The latter way IL certain
ly effective.
The alum baking powders are usu-
ally offered at a low price. ten to
twenty cents . pound. or with some
prize. a temptation to the house

Consupers can protect themselves
BY buying only high-grade baking
powder Of established name and
reputation. Do not be tempted by the
grocer to take something else as "just
as good" or "our own brand" for the
trials show that the grocer himself Ia
often deceived by INSCRIPTIONS max

without knowing it.

The SUN a Poor Timekeeper


+ The sun does not keep good time. He
is almost always too fast or too slow.
Once, about the middle Of April, he Is
Just on time; then not again before the
middle of June. At the beginning OF
September he joins the clock third
time, and, lastly, once more in Decem-
Der. Now 1t would seem as If he were
startled ut the way he had neglected
us. In February he fell back until he
was fifteen minutes late. BY the mid
die of March he had made up five min
utes of the loss, and before the month
is over he will have caught up to with
in five minutes of the schedule. Mean
while the days have been growing long
er very rapidly. We begin March with
our nights longer than our days. We
end it with the days longer than the
nights. In the one month we have add
ed to the length of our day an hour and
twenty minutes, bigger gain than any
other months can show.-Ladies' Home

1T MEANS ECONOMY.
Resignation of steen md New Min.
fstry In Norway.

Resignation of Steen md New Min
istry in Norway.
1t should not BE- resumed that serf-
GUS political crisis prevails in Norway
because of the resignation of the minis
try. The move has long been de-
manded and expected, and will entail
no change in the political programme;
there is no radical change. for the lib
eral party will still be in control Of the
government. There will be many re-
forms of economical character, how
ever.
1t has been charged that the retiring
government is incompetent and careless
to such a degree that economies are not
properly observed AMI good judgment
is lamentably absent. The result is Il
wasteful distribution of :he revenues
and the Introduction of various unpop-
ular measures.
The military exactions were greatly
increased, both in taxation for defenses
and for the navy and in the doubling Of
the time for compulsory military SER
vice. Since 1895 the total military b,ldg-
ct has been 134, O0O, 900 kroner, and the
figures naturally alarm and discourage
the taxpayers. The 1000, 900 kroner in
sane dSvIuIl, WIFI It's nldFOle IaCauSS
and its 10000 kroner ptgsty; tn e pay
ment of fee Of 1000 kroner for legal
services in connection to Attorney
Schjedt in connection with the sale of
the war college, when there are several
hundred lawyers in the service of the
government; the continued Ioans;, the
Increase Of the income taxes; the in
ternal revenue taxes, and many otllG "
matters. large and small, have tended
to deprive the people of confidence in
the efficiency of the ministry.
Then again, the premier is plainly too
old for his position-too slow and too
conservative. Johannes Wilhelm Chris
tian Steen is seventy-five years of age,
and has served his country long and
faithfully and it is sad that he should
go out of public life in this manner.
Willie his resignation was. doubtless,
voluntary, 1t seems to be quite plain. in
view OF the many utterances of the
press. that public sentiment forced the
step.
M. Blehr, has formed a new cabinet.
with himself as premier and minister of
the interior. M. Guam. formerly min
lister of justice and police. becomes min
lister of state at Stockholm.

FERTILZING LAWNS.

1t may seem too early to talk about
fertilizing lawns, but careful expert
ments have proved that the very lest
time to apply lawn fertilizers is in
April and May, or just as soon as the
frost is out of the ground, as then
every particle of the fertilizer will
work its way down to the grass roots.
If the fertilizer is applied as sug-
gested, it stimulates strong root
growth early in the season, which
produces, a little later, a firm sod
covered with beautiful fine dark green
grass.
We would, therefore, advise every
one to apply their fertilizers early in
the spring, and if they use Bradley's
unexcelled special fertilizers for
grass, lawns, tennis courts, polo
grounds, etc. they will be sure to have
few weeks hence, plant that will
be a delight every day and retain its
beautiful appearance all through the
dry summer months

With the extension of the strikes

though there is comparative quiet so
far, the feeling of suspense which is
said to prevail is perfectly natural
1t is clear that socialist orators have
succeeded in rousing the workingman
to pitch Of excitement which may
at any moment grow dangerous. The
government has dealt very wisely
with the crisis, however, and if the
action of parliament implies the op-
portunity of securing a reform in the
franchise by peaceful means the ap-
peals of the apostles of disorder will
lose some of their force.
