THE LEGEND Of 70 e
 EASTER LILY

sHE beautiful flower which is in ev-
 idence on every hand today. the

TTHE beautiful flower which is in ev-
 idence on every hand today, the
 1 Easter lily, is the result of a de- velopment which might almost be called an evolution. Records of the ex- lstence of the plant which is now known as the Easter lily go back to 1000 B. c. At that time the emperor of China was Chow, about the most cruel ruler the Celestial empire has ever had. His prime minister was Ii Chung, a really good man, who hinted to the despot that his restless people could be pacif1ed by inaugurating a series of reforms The cruel ruler became incensed, and ls he had an unpleasant habit of order- Ing off few heads each day Lii Chung concluded that it was about time for him to think of getting away to a place of safety. For some time he watched his master, and when he became con- ginced that the danger point had been reached he asked for private audi snce. This was granted.
 The good, though crafty, Lii Chung in. formed the emperor that he had had a vision in which he was commanded by the gods to make a sacrifice of 100 sturdy young men and 150 beautiful young women. But-and here was the unusual portion of the demand of the gods-it was required that the sacri-. ices be made upon an island far out in the sea. to which the commander of the expedition would be directed by super natural aid. It was further command ed that period of elaborate feasting should precede the sacrifices.
 The superstitious emperor listened carefully and was manifestly pleased. He was relieved to find that he could so easily extricate himself from his diff1- culties. The willy Ii Chung doubtless noticed that his story was making an Impression and elaborated upon his original fiction accordingly. At any rate Lii Chung, as he had anticipated, was appointed to the command of the finest ship in dhe royal navy and was charged with the important duty of aseeing that the wishes of the gods were carried out to the letter.
 Chung selected the young .men and women and loaded his vessel with the choicest delicacies the kingdom afford

effort in life beyond the trif1ing one of signing check once in awhile, for she inherited goodly fortune from each of her parents as we'll as tidy sums from other relatives; so that there was never the spur of the necessity of earning 8 livelihood in anything which Clara Bar ton has done.
 After brief experience with her school in Clinton Miss Barton, still mere girl, went to Elizabeth, N. J., where after carefully looking over the ground she decided to establish a sem mary for young ladies. It is related that many of her charges in Elizabeth were her seniors. Her enterprise pros- pered, but Miss Barton was not satis- ned. She removed to Washington and applied for clerkship in the patent of flee. She was the first woman ever ern- ployed in that department and was as- signed to section which was at the time in a deplorably tangled condition. Her mathematical mind, however, al- most sneered at the simplicity of work which had befuddled many a man trained to that special branch. At any rate in a surprisingly short space of time she had got things running smoothly, and then the position palled upon her. Easy work she did not like and she began to cast about her for something bit more exacting.
 At about this time the civil war broke out, and Miss Barton issued an appeal for food and clothing to be distributed to the sick and wounded soldiers of the Union army. Her appeal met with a rather ready response, but there was the difficulty of getting permission to go inside the lines. This was ultimately secured, and thus Clara Barton began what was to be her life work. She served throughout the civil war, was present at some of the most terrific bat ties of that momentous conflict, person. ally attended thousands of men stricken down by wounds or disease, was large ly instrumental in the organization of the sanitary commission and was final ly charged by President Lincoln with the difficult work of tracing the fate of the thousands of prisoners confined at various times in Andersonville. Out of her work in this connection came the proposition from her for a national

soon as trains and boats could carry her to the scene of trouble. and Tn most cases the distribution of outside reileL funds was in her hands. Tn 1898 at the request of President Mckinley Miss Barton went to Cuba to distribute SUD- plies sent by this government. and Tn the Spanish-American war she did per- sonal field duty.
 Miss Barton's home is at Glen Echo, near Washington. The residence was made from the lumber used in the con- struction of the relief buildings III Johnstown, the grateful citizens hav- ing taken this unique method of testi- flying their appreciation of Miss Bar toms magnificent work during the ter rible days of 1889.
 William Knickerbocker Van Reypen, ex-surgeon general of the United States navy. who has been so prominently mentioned as the probable successor of Miss Clara Barton in the presidency of the National Red Cross society, while not so well known as that lady, has nevertheless by his magnificent serv- icas in the interests of humanity put bis country and the world at large un- der obligations to him. Born at Bergen, NJ T. in 1S40, he was educated at the locoI schools and in the University of +be City of New York, from the medical department of which he graduated with l,ieb honors in 1862. He had already served three months as assistant sur eaon of the Second regiment of New Jersey, when in December, 1861, he en- tered the naval service as assistant sur geon. After about eighteen months at inc naval hospital in Brooklyn pr. Van Reypen was ordered to take charge Of the hospital in Key West, which was at the time used exclusively for yellow fe- yer patients. There he remained until 1864, and the methods of sanitation he introduced in the treatment of yellow lack did much to instruct the medical world in successfully combating that dread disease. pr. Van Reypen was later fleet surgeon with various squad rons and soon came to be known as the most particular officer in the service with reference to sanitary precautions. Indeed. while Van Reypen was fleet surgeon with Admiral Benham in Rio

A MILITARY STORY.

The following story is told of a cerA tain yeomanry camp in Berkshire, Eng land: A visitor went to the camp in the evening, and the sentry challenged with the usual words, "Who goes there?" The visitor said he wished to see a certain trooper and asked where he might be found. The sentry replied. 'sI don't know where he is. but if you see the corporal of the guard tell him I am hungry. as I have not been relieved all day.,' The visitor informed the corporal as desired, who exclaimed: Good gracious! really forgot all about him."

TRAINS CARRY TORCHES.

An important innovation has been made on the Prussian state railways Serious accidents have more than once occurred through train coming to an unexpected halt in the open country and then being run into by following train, which, through darkness or TOE, did not observe that the road was blocked. All long distance trains will now carry magnesium torches for use when a stoppage occurs out of the reach of ordinary signals. These torch~ es, which burn with red light. can be seen in foggy weather to distance of from 500 to 300 yards.

ed. Among them were the lilies, which were highly esteemed as an article of food.
 Of course Chung's ship never came back. Instead but two sailors months afterward returned in a craft which they had themselves built. They relat- ed that the ship had been lost in 8 storm and that all but themselves had perished. This was fiction. Lii Chung knew of the existence of the islands to which he had alluded, and it was there that he had sailed after informing the. young men and women that they were not to be sacrificed, but were to live peaceably under his rule in 8 new land where oppression should be unknown. The islands which Ii Chung thus set- tied now comprise the empire of Japan.
 Owing to the difference in the nature of the soil and the fact that the lily was not cultivated as in China, the plant soon lost much of it's root and gained correspondingly above ground. In time it lost it's value as an article of diet, but it gained in beauty and was admiringly spoken of by travellers in Japan Stiii it was not transplanted to the western hemisphere until 1878, when an Ameri- can named Harris introduced 1t into Bermuda, which accounts for it's scieh- tifie name of Lilium harrisii, which It still retains, though it is more generally known as the trumpet lily. Bermuda lily and Easter lily because of It's exten- siye use at the Easter season.

his cabinet to so serve, has naturally brought into prominence once more the names of Clara Barton, president of the American Red Cross since it's organiza- ton, and of ex-Surgeon General W. K. Van Reypen of the United States navy, who is mentioned as the probable suc- cessor of Miss Barton in the event of the resignation of that lady of the po- ssition which is hers by an election for life.
 Clara Barton, no matter what may be urged for or against her present management of the American branch of the Red Cross society. will be admit ted to be remarkable, almost an ex traordinary, woman, with the faculty for organization developed to "a degree found in but few men. Although she is about seventy-seven years old, the alle- gatton that she was unfitted by the in f1rmities of age for performing the ar- duous duties of her position as nresi dent of the society with which her name is so inseparably identified has been made only within the last few months. Her experiences on scores of battlefields and in numbers of cities and villages devastated by flood, fire, famine and earthquake appear to have left no im- press upon her, and she declares with A III AAAAco9 oA PuApoSS WHICH no one can help admiring that she is ready today to start into active work in any field in which her services may be required.
 Miss Barton may be said to have been possessed of great executive ability even as a child, for before she was six teen she had left her home in North Ox- ford. Mass, to become a schoolteacher in Clinton, N. Y. That she is also a natural worker, that she works because her nature will not permit her to re- main idle, may be realized when it is mentioned that had she been inclined to do so she need never have made any
