OF THE EASTER LILY.
Bermuda, Once Called "The Isle OF
Devils" CAUTIOUSLY Enough Bears
This DistinctiOn.

There is a striking analogy in the
fact that Bermuda, the home of the
Easter lily, was called, on it's discovery,
"the Isle of Devils"
Although the lilies of Bermuda the
fields white with their satiny leaves,
the air heavy with their fragrance
have been known and loved by all vis-
itors to the isles of SUMNER" they
did not become easter lilies" until
so recently as 1875. 1t is said that
they were introduced into the United
States in that year by an American
woman who brought few plants to a
Philadelphia florist. Charmed by the
beauty of the flowers, he cultivated the
plants carefully from the bulbs until
he had a number. Other florists pur-
chased from him, then bulbs were inn
ported from Bermuda, and now the
lily is grown here profusely in all the
hothouses.
The tremendous growth in the last
IS years in the custom of celebrating
Easter by decoration of churches and
homes has made expectation of the
bulbs one of the principal industries
of Bermuda, as the lily of that coun-
try became associated by natural Sc
lection" with Easter. It's beautiful
chalice, its delicacy of form and color,
its mystic perfume, all tend to sug-
gest the fresh, pure beauty of spring
and its herald, Easter.
The lily fields are not exceedingly
large, as rule, and seldom contain
more than few acres. The largest
bulbs are sent to London anu New
York, as they command the highest
prices in those cities. The bulbs of
medium size also are exported, the
planters reserving only the smallest
for their own use.-N. Y. Tribune.

EASTER EGG-RoLL1NG.
one Day In the Year the Little Folk.
May Play In the Pres1-
dents Yard.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Walden Fawcett gives lively de-
scription of the children's egg-rolling
carnival which takes place every year
in. the presidents yards.
''The event of the day-the climax
looked forward to by the older folks
as well as the Juvenile visitors
comes when the president, who has
from time to time all day peeped out
at the glad gathering, steps out on
the veranda of the white house and
bows in greeting to the sea of little
upturned faces. Then as the band
strikes UP some patriotic air the
youngsters all shout Justify and clap
their hands, and as likely as not
testify their appreciation in some of
these unique unconventional ways so
dear to the hearts of youth, and
which are prone to make the digni-
tary on the porticoT laugh outright.
'The one element Of seriousness
which characterizes this great outing
you may discover as you stroll down
to the little building which ordinari-
ly serves as central station for the
policemen who guard the white house
grounds. For this ,one day, however,
the watchmen's house is transformed
into an asylum for lost little folks.
Hither the big blue-coated officers
bring the little tots who chance to
go astray in the great medley of
humanity, and here a nurse soothes
and comforts the tiny weeper until
the inevitable anxious mother ap-
pears. At recent egg-rolling festi-
val there were % lost children in
the little habitation at one time, but
mothers and nurses so universally
understand where to seek for missing
little ones that scarcely any confu-
sion is caused by these separations"

FADs IN JEWELRY.

For the woman who cannot afford
luxurious jewelry there is only one re-
venge-to wear none and affect sim.
plicity.
New jewelry for the hair is most
striking. There are designs made to
fit the couture almost like an OPEN
work helmet, If such an expression
could be used, all in diamonds or ru-
bies or other precious stones. The
tiaras now being made in Paris for the
coronation are superb and there is q
great rivalry emong women C. the
sristocracy Of England in the matter.

EASTER. HYMN.
SyA>s:%>AyS.~As~s
:; :: :: 4: ! 3: ::; al:
With the sunlight dancing, giancine' rest
ing on her silv'ry hair;
And her voice still sweet, though quaV ring,
mincling with the bells clear ching,
Is a memory most precious, Of our earliest
Easter time!
Jesus Christ is risen to-day.

Our triumphant holy day, ~
Who did once upon the Cross.

member how she sang,
In her pew so feebly sitting, loudly the re-
sponses rang!
Hymn-book grasped by trembling fingers,
dim blue eyes appraised in prayer.
Every word so long consoling, rounded out
with tender care:
''Hymns of praise then let us sing,
Alieluia!
Unto Christ our Heavenly King,
Alleluia!
Who endured the Cross and Grave
Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save.
Alleluia!'
How we children loved to listen, while she
sung for us alone,
Sitting In the Easter twilight, even when
far older grown!
She would speak of Christ great suff' ring,
death. and resurrection too.
Ending with these Easter hymn-words,
all so wonderful and true:
''But the pain which He endured,
Alleluia:
Our salvation hath procured.
Alleluia!
Now above the sky He's King.
Xlleluia!
Where the angels ever sing.
Alleluia!",
Long she's sung with myriad angels,
round the shining throne above,
Seeing too the risen Saviour, whom she
ever knew to love; .
And perhaps this hymn inspiring, she so
treasured here below.
Is repeated in remembrance of their
dear Lords earthly woe:
Jesus Christ is risen to-day,
Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day.
Alleluia.
Who did once upon the Cross,
Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss.
Alleluia!''

that. while their loyalty leads them to
brighten the obstructive column which
bears these statues, it is not strong
enough to inspire them to remove that
beast that never grew Tor that bird
that never few which crowns 1t. It is,
however, sad that at the church Of st.
Dunstan's in the west, only few yards
off, the greed of seat letters will pre-
vent the king from seeing the fine old
eff1gy Of one Of the most famous of his

Some Miracles.

Miracles happen every day Once
upon a time gave to a friend a fox ter.
rier that had prediction for chasing
carriages and barking furiously at
them. One day a wheel ran over his
right hind leg. and for seven months
he hoped on the other three members.
Expert surgeons were unable to restore
the use of the injured limb. But the
accident did not cure him Of his evil
habit. and with one leg in the air he
continued to annoy passing drivers.
Finally horse kicked him on his left
fore leg, breaking the bone below the
knee. When this was put in splints he
had remaining only right fore leg and
a left hind leg for locomotion. Then
came the miracle! Being deprived Of
his left fore leg he suddenly discov-
cred that the long inactive right hind
leg was as good as ever, and forthwith
proceeded to use 1t as il it never had
been hurt, chasing carriages as usual.
In zine the left fore leg healed, and to-
day Mr.. Fox has four perfectly sound
legs, and is the pet of the neighbor.
