Say not Of Winter blasts they chant dirge.
But that they sing the birth song of the flowers.
Say not of Autumn leaves that they but shroud
The Summers dead. but see beneath the mould
The violets raise their faces to the sun.
My faith sees not a skeleton beneath
The dying beautiful that harbingers
Another birth. but says the midnight
Shall wear the robes OF dawn and in the arms
OF Death the infant Life doth warmly lie.
Why the stones and brambles of a path
The star blooms bOrder?- why the earth attan
When asters grow in all the garden-skyc
For even tho the tensDestS follow Gains,
The harbor light doth gild the blacklist sea.
A morning breaks on every night. Why say:
The night shall fall" and not: The day shall
shine
Upon me when this gloom hath faded? Nay.
A song is sweeter than n sigh and life
Is wondrous musical For every thorn
Grows on rose. whose least caressing heals
A hundred stingg. In all the universe
There is no fear without hope no wound
Unkissed. For Natures a Samaritan
And paSSeth none that needs: the oil and wine.

LIFE PRESENTER DROWNED HER.
Damaging Testimony Brought Out In

New York, June 22,--In identifying the body of his year old daughter Elsie, who lost her life in the General Slocum disaster John Kircher of Greenpoint, l.. l.. today told the officials at the morgue that her drowning was due he believed to a life preserver that was worse than use less. Kircher said his wife, who with their three children were on the Slocum, put a life preserver on Elsie and dropped her overheard, thinking she would be perfectly safe with the preserver on. She waited for the child to come up. but the little one never appeared The wife and two other children jumped overheard and assisted by the mother who could swim all got to shore in safety.
 William Wallace, a deck hand on the Slocum, testified at the inquest today that no water was turned on the flames; that the fire hose did not burst; that the assistant engineer was not In the engine room during the fire and that he saw holes in several of twenty life preservers which he threw to passengers struggling in the water.
 Rev. George Schultz pastor Of St. Luke's Lutheran church of Erie, Pa. who was on the Slocum, said he took life preserver before jumping from the steamer, but when he held the weight of the pressure broke the strap.

LuNATics HAVE A WAR.
Stories of the Fighting in the Far East
 Caused Them to Fight.

New York, June 22.-Stories of the war in the Far East have caused an outbreak among the inmates of the Moorish Plains Insane asylum, near Morristewn, N. J.
 Half dozen inmates who had en- gagged in a long controversy finally made break for liberty. They crossed Speedwell river and hastily threw up a small fort or timbers on the top of a hill.
 Attendants attempted to carry the works, but were met with volleys of stones and beat hasty retreat. For three hours the -ort held out. Then a truce was arranged, and the com mander of the garrison agreed to par ley, as escape was impossible.
 A conference with the commander and the keepers was held under a white flag on high flat stone in the middle of the river. In all seriousness the lunatics, after long wranggle among themselves, agreed to surren- der, shaving been granted some small favors No losses were reported be yond few bruised heads.

No patent effects. it says, are produced in persons of good health by their occasional use in small quanti- ties, but the young, the debilitated and the sick, it adds, are not to be forgotten, and the safe rule, it says, is to exclude these conservatives for foods for general consumption. If continued for long time in quantities not exceeding half gram Ter day, they cause occasional periods of loss of appetite, bad feeling, fullness in the head and distress in the stomach. If given in larger and Increasing doses these symptoms are more rapidly developed and accentuated with a slight clouding of the mental processes.

A Snake Story.

From the New York Commercial.
 While England has undoubtedly shown her unrivalled ability in admin istering the vast dependency of Hin dostan and has admittedly bestowed upon India the blessings of an orderly and humane government, yet if the following communication of recent date to the Madras Mail is strictly true, It would seem that her bewildered off. cials have not yet found method of suppressing the snakes, so abundant in that gorgeous eastern nursery For her young aristocratic civilians or mil itary sahibs. Thus it runs:
 'T noticed. with interest in your issue of yesterday a criticism of a book of some so-called incredible snake stories from Bengal. To satisfy the curious may say that am making scientific solar experiments in this red-hot dis. trict of your sultry provinces; but ] hasten to uphold the veracity of the author in question. l was once in the Godavery district and, walking one day (armed with butterfly net) near the mighty river of that name, l was hor- rified to see a hamadryad snake (the cobra maxilla of the author) coming toward me at furious pace. did not wait to see exactly how it got along. It seemed to be bounding as would thick India-rubber hoop violently inn pelled forward over rough and stony ground I say that Idid not wait to see, but fled for all I was worth with the hamadryad after me.
 "Fortunately, the river was within half a mile, and into it l plunged, swimming for dear life. The Godavery is fairly wide in that part, and the current swift. However, I am a good swimmer and, after an arduous strug- gle, I approached the opposite side fond1y hoping and expecting that had distanced the snake. Imagine my horror and surprise when found my enemy calmly awaiting me on the bank! For moment my presence of mind fairly forsook me, but only for a moment. Exhausted though l was plunged back into the water again and this time waited for a boat.
