April Magic.

Flute-like across the morning mist
lyric note comes Quavering
From Aprirs young ventriloquist
To welcome Spring.
Look where you will you shall not see
This small magician as he weaves
Spells OF sweet music while the tree
Dreams of green leaves.
Now here, now there, now gone, alas
But just as you would call him cheat
You glimpse the first brave blade Of
grass
Close at your feet.
And when the gray yields to the blue.
And tempts once more his cadence clear
Behold a crOcus!-tOken true
That Spring is here.
Frank Dempster Sherman.

Much credit is due Mrs. Jefferson
Davis for the dignity with which she
has put an end to the movement to
erect a memorial arch to her husband
in Richmond. The arch is the symbol
of triumph and would be glaringly in
appropriate in the case of the leader of
the lost cause of the South. His most
fitting monument is in the hearts of the
people VINO loved him.

How to Make Santos-Dumont Useful
From the Washington Post
NJ. Santos-D -Dumont appears, like Mr.
Wrinkle, in "Pickwick," to have fred
at one bird and hit another He went
TO the White House full of the idea
OF taking Master Theodore Roosevelt
Jr, up in his balloon, but was warned
that he must take the President up
instead.
Now we venture to put in a protest
right here. The enterprise of the
young air navigator in risbing his own
life over and over again for the glory
OF proving that he has hit upon a
correct theory Of ballOoning is to be
commended on general principles. but
when IL comes to taking chances with
the bodily integrity of the Chief Magis-
trate OF e Republic of 7500000 people,
he is proposing to carry things just a
little too far It makes no difference
that the President was himself the
person to suggest the undertaking-he
would suggest anything that had a
spice of peril in It,; and the mere cir
cumstance THAT he was playing at
hazard with life and limbs which be-
long to the nation quite as much as
to him individually would not deter
him from his fun.
There is plenty of work for the
President to do with his feet on the
ground. and sometimes with his ear
TO It. Il would be a waste of time, as
well as an unnecessary jeopardy OF
important interests. for him to go
sailing around in the clouds. or even
among the treetops. But there are
others
If M. Santos-Dumont wishes TO DEM
onstrate his scientific propositions
regarding aerial navigation, and at the
same time make a ten-strike for his
own popularity in the United States
why does he not take say, Mrs. Carrie
Nation. and lift her to a plane of the
empyrean where any ill-judged activity
on her part would be likely to cause
her to take a drop out of the basket
with THE possible consequence OF
breaking her hatchet-and. incident
ally, her neck? Then there is the
nd-yellow-and-g green cartoonist
of the average Sunday newspaper, with
his comic boys and old men. blunder-
aunties and impossible "cOOns;" what
a chorus of glad farewells would arise
from the throats Of a long-suffering
public as THE artist scared upward in
to the blue depths from which there
was a fair chance that he might never
return. There is again, n varied as
sortment of gentlemen of supposed
public importance who attend the daily
levees OF the President in the ante
chamber adjoining the Cabinet-room,
and whose visits are always for the
purpose OF advising their distinguished
host as 10 his course in running THE
government; we fancy that few OF
these could be spared from their
accustomed haunt long enough to
make a tour with the young Brazilian
to point where. II they fell over
board. There would be no possible
likelihood of their finding their way
back to Washington.

while under Christian Science treat

statements Of the practitioners exam

discloses the reported statements as
entirely erroneous, hence the deduc-
lions therefrom unwarranted.
Christian Scientists, however, do
classify sickness as error. For II It is
the natural. normal and truthful con-

correct and heal it, And if Il is to be
corrected and healed, has not every
one the right 20 use the method they

methods? And in the spirit OF fair

Ichildren die under the care of

Is IL cruel. or neglectful when physi-
