Easter in New York City.

The New York correspondent of the Phili-
Almost ideal weather made the celebration
of Easter red letter day in the history OF
New York. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
for beauty and joyousness the city surpassed
itself. The churches were crowded to the
DOORS The music was of the highest order OF
excellence. The floral display was magnif-
cent. The parade of spring fashions on
Fifth avenue crowded that great thoroughfare
from Washington Arch to Central Park. Tens
of thousands visited the cemeteries. Others
less seriously disposed spent the day on their
wheels or in their autos or behind their fast
horses The Speedway was filled. There was
a notable revival of interest in wheeling, and
the Coney Island bicycle path resembled the
paImy days of four year ago.
1t would be quite impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy how many millions OF
dollars we're spent for flowers this Easter.
All that is known is that never before has
there been such a lavish display. This is con-
frmed by the testimony of all the florists, and
is attested by the evidence of ones senses.
The floral decorations in the churches were
literally on a scale of magni6cence. st. Pat
rick's Cathedral was field of lilies, roses and
palms, two great crosses of lilies being especi-
alIv conspicuous At St. Georges Church
potted plants of geraniums were so arranged
as to make white cross against background
of red. In the afternoon the pots of flowers
were distributed among 1900 children. South
ern ivy covered the back of DR.. Parkhurst' S
church. 1t was noticeable that the Bermuda
lily was not as conspicuous this year as form
erly, but there has been large Importation
of lily bulbs from Japan These have to be
cultivated for long time before they become
marketable

Proverbs About Women.

Here are some Chinese sayings that in
dictate much philosophy
Respect always silent woman; great is
the wisdom of the woman that holdeth her
tongue.
A vain woman is to be feared, for she
will sacrifice all for her pride.
Trust not a vain woman, for she is first
in her own eye.
A naughty woman stumbles for she
cannot see what may be in her way.
Trust not the woman who thinketh
more of herself than another; mercy will
not dwell in her heart.
The gods honor her who thinketh long
before opening her lips. Pearls come from
her mouth.

Nor wants that little long"
sTis not with me exactly so;
But tits so in the song.
NY wants are many, and, If told,
Would muster many score;
And were each wish mint of gold,
still should long for more
What first want is daily bread
And canvasbacks-and wine
Ana all the realms of.nature spread
Before me when dine.
-Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell;
with four choice cooks from France beside
TO dress my dinner we'll.

Afectionate and fair;
To soiace all the woes Of life,
And all its joys to share.
OF temper sweet, Of yielding VIII,
OF firm yet placid mind
With all my faults to love me still
With sentiment renneu.
And as Times car incessant runs,
And fortune fills my store,
want of daughters and of sons
From eight to half score.

Such bliss on earth to crave7)
That all the girls be chaste and fair,
The boys all wise and brave.

And that my friendship prove as strong
For him as his for me.

The ensigns of command;

To rule my native land
Nor crown nor sceptre would ask.
But from my country's viii,
By day, by night, to ply the task
Her cup of bliss to fill.

To follow me behind,
And to be thought in future days
The friend of human kind,
That after ages, as they rise,
Exulting may proclaim,
In choral union to the skies,
Their blessings on my name.
These are the wants Of mortal man,

For life itself is but span,
And earthly bliss-a song.

And summoned to my final call,
The mercy Of my God.

Colds if neglected lead to serious and

and the enormous sum paid annually by
American taxpayers in pensions, it does seem
singular that congress can be persuaded to

them undoubtedly without merit. No coun-
