season, also pine and hard wood. He
saws the company recently sold four car
loads of hemlock slabs, to be shipped to
paper and pulp mill in eastern Ohio.
"a funny thing happened up to our
mill at Chelsea recently said Mr.. Shep-
ard. s'Our mill foreman had been feed
ing a hen on hemlock sawdust and meal
mixed. He gradually reduced the amount
of meal until finally he fed her nothing but
hemlock sawdust, and she seemed to thrive
on it. As she wanted to set, he gave her
dozen or her own eggs and she Matched
out i woodpeckers and one chicken with
a wooden leg. l tell you, there Is merit
in hemlock, even in the sawdust.
This is a curious incident, but Mr.,
Shepard is former Stevens Pointer, and
whatever he says ''goes.

At a frolicking, rollicking clip!

The hare, or rabbit, was sacred to Os-
tara, the Teutonic goddess of spring lin
Anglo-Saxon Eastre, from which the word
Easter is derived); so was the egg; the
former because of its fecundity, the latter
as a symbol of creation and resurrection.
The world was believed to have been
matched at Eastertide. The Christians
originally colored the eggs red, in com
memoration os the blood of the redemption.
The connection of the rabbit and the egg
with the feast of Easter which falls on
the first Sunday after the first full moon
after March 21-that is to say, in spring
time-is based on the fact that the early
missionaries of the church among the Ger
man races applied pagan customs and fes-
rivals to Christian ceremonies and usage
in order to wean the heather from their
idolatrous symbolism.

Arise my heart, and sing thy Easter song!
To the great anthem of returning bird,
And sweetening bud, and green. ascending blade
Add thou thy word.
Long was the winter and the waiting long;
Heart there were hours, indeed, thou vert afraid
So long the Spring delayed.
Shut in the Winters alabaster tomb.
So white and still the sleeping Summer lay
That dead she seemed;
And none might know how in her magic side
Slept the young Spring and moved, and Smiled
and dreamed.
Behold, she wakes again, and open-eyed
Gazes, in wonder, round the leafy room,
At the young flowers Upon this Easter Day
Awaken, too my heart open thine eyes,
And from thy seeming death thou, too, arise.
Arise, my heart; yea, go thou forth and sing
Join thou thy voice to all this music sweet
oferowding leaf and busy, building wing,
And falling showers;
The murmur soft of the little lives new born,
The armies of the grass, the million feet
Ofmarching flowers.
How sweetly blows the Resurrection horn
Across the meadows, over the far hills.
In the souls garden new sweetness stirs,
And the heart fills,
And in and ont the mind how the soft airs.
Arise, my heart, and sing, this Easter morn;
In the years resurrection do thy part
Arise my heart!

THE RAILROAD ARMY.

There isn't quite as much hostility to the railroads as there once was. Per-
 haps they are better managed, and per- haps ''the people" have come to bet ter mind concerning them. A good many of the people are yitally interested in their prosperity. In the year ended June 30, 1902, the railroad companies of the United States employed 1,1S9,315
 men, or about 5.94 per mile of road, and 4s more per mile than were employed in the previous year. At present, with | the observed rate of increase, the total
 number Of railroad employees is about | 1,307, ,000, and the families directly sup ported aggregate about 5,200,000 persons. As great numbers of men besides are supported by the ndustries-furnaces rolling mills and carshops furn- ish supplies to the railroads. it is per haps not exceeding moderation to say
 that over S,00O,00O people are dependent
 on the railroads for living. The Rail- way Age compares the average of 594 railroad employees in 1902 with the aver age of Al in 1895 and 5.15 in 1892 Hard times and scant business accounted for
 the figure for 1895. while larger traffic
 demanded the number employed in the other years. If hard times should bring back the average. of All per mile this would mean the dismissal of 312,OoO men, or heavy reduction in wages. Let us hope that there will be no hard
 times for railroad employees or anybody else.

The United States Fish Commission
 CTS, are about to undertake an experi- ment the success of which would mean much. They intend to introduce a large number of Pacific coast salmon into the
 waters of the Atlantic in an effort to build up a salmon industry here to ri- val that of the western coast Some eight or ten years ago the commission made similar experiment, but it was a failure. During the administration of Commissioner Brice a carload of Pacific salmon eggs were sent across the conti- .nent in the care of experienced fish cul- turists. There were some 5000,000 eggs in che shipment. They were matched at the government, stations in Maine. New Hampshire and Vermont, and when they reached what was consider ed the proper age the fry were released
 Following the instinct of this fish. the young sought the deep waters of the Atlantic It is a mystery what became of them, for only about ten individuals were reported in after years. Whether the water was too cold. whether they were released too young or fell victims to the horde of predatory fishes is not known. But one thing is certain-the entire brood of 100000, more or less

LET HER COZ

If noise is patriotism New Haven is entitled to a conspicuous tablet in the hall of patriotic fame. She has already made noise enough, and she will make much more before the Glorious Fourth is over, She is doing the very best she can to let herself know that she appre- ciates the blessings of liberty. Her main method of displaying her emotion is the old and long-approved one. Imi- tations of Chinese expIoders and stink pots have gained general recognition as suitable mediums for the expression of some of the highest and noblest feel ings of the human heart.
 Let us blow horns, shoot things off and be merry. Tomorrow. or even to- day, some of us may die in consequence of our performances, but it is sweet and fitting to die jn celebration of our independence. And how can man die better than in facing cannon crackers and such for the ashes of his Revolu- tionary fathers and the Temple of Lib- erty?

oNE oE rHn PRoRLEms.

aFft' sE 4rtg g There are many problems up for sol lution just now, but M. Hanotaux, for nlerly French Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, maintains that the problem of the Adriatic is the real question of the day. One grave and constant source of com plication, he says, is Italian Irredent- ism. Tn addition to the conflict of races is the conflict of commercial routes
 Trieste is threatened at an early date by this competition. 'All Germany has declared itself,'' he argues, fin favor of that famous march towards the East
 which is to convert the Orient into a
 vast market for its productions, and a field for the enterprise of it's inhabit- ants. She proposes to extend across
 Mesopotatmia that railway to Baghdad
 and the Persian Gulf which is intended
 to be the tail of the Germanic comet. Now Trieste has her place in this az
 gressiye campaign. She is regarded as the tete5 de ligne of German imperial ism on the Adriatic. She keeps watch at that gate.' But, adds M. Hanotaux, Italian Irredentism is knocking at that
 gate at the very moment when there
 is a revival of slav pretensions in Cro- atia and Dalmatia, and when the
 events in the Balkans are stimulating
 all these riyalries. Is the Adriatic, he | asks. about to become the centre of fresh European complications? What is the significance of this recrudes-
 cence of Irredentism? After referring
 to the Croatfan agitation in favor of a
 Greater Servia, he remarks that the
 Karageorgevitches have always been the protagonists of ambitious Servian rationalism. Everything, he seems to think, depends upon the solidity and
 endurance of the Austro- Russian un- derstanding.

 household ike a puppy, through the woods or even on the roads, as long as We mel m carriages or strangers. Of these things he was. and is- extremely nervous, and at their hrst appearance he would tear into the woods and hide until ''the ener1y" had passed; then he would poke his head out very cautious Ny, and if the coast was clear, he would trot along with us as before. He was following me through the woods, one evening, at dusk. when we came to a stream about six feet wide, and, to see what he would do I jumped the steam and hid myself on the opposite bank. The little fox seemed very anxious to follow. and ran up and down the bank two or three times, as though looking for some solution of the difficulty. Finding none. he walked and swan across. When he found me, he express ed his delight by wagging his tail. put ting back his ears and jumping Tpon me, much as an affectionate dog would do. In fact, ever since he was a tiny cub of three weeks old or less. ne has exhibited great pleasure at seeing any of us who may have been out of his sight for an hour or two. His ex- pressions of delight are usually accom- panied by a vigorous open-mouthed panting, which he uses to express ex- eitement of any kind. But, alas! can no longer allow him to follow me at will: the other day he discovered how easy it is for him to catch chickens. and, although my neighbors have stood a few attacks on their poultry-yards with rare good nature.I must not push their patience to the limit. Now take him out on a chain, and shall take him thus until the time comes for us to journey together to. a great forest know of where shall slip his collar and bid him good-by and good luck. And I shall have no fear for him. his brave little heart will carry him safely through many a dangerous place. As a rule. captivity weakens an animal and units it for a wild life where the com petition is keen. but in this case it is not so. The Sprite is at least as swift of foot as any wild fox of his age, and in a fight for food no wild fox of his weight would have a living chance against him. I .have put him to a more severe test than that, and he has proved his ability to hold his own.
