apron. and thinking 1t had evaporated pro-
ceeded to light the stove, and the flame
coming in contact with the apron fgnited It.
In her excitement Mrs. DeVine falled 10
close the lighted stove, and 1t exploded, en-
yeloping the entire body of the unfortu-
nate lady, burning her clothing and IN,
fifcting injuries from which she died at

was in the house on an upper floor, her out
cries failed to attract his attention. He
thought the noise came from the children
at play in the yard. and when he realized
what had happened 1t was too late TO rem
der any assistance.

federates have kept the sea under the rule
recently applied to the Lena7
"Salen of the Georgia.


The Georgia was disarmed IN Liverpool
harbor: sold at auction In May. 1854: fitted
up as a merchantmen; chartered by her
purchaser to Portugal; cleared for Lisbon
laden with coal; captured by an American
cruiser while on the voyage; taken into
Boston; libeled there and condemned by
the United States Supreme Court as law
full prize, upon the ground that the auction
purchase gave no title, as against the
United States, to what was sold as con-
federate cruiser. The purchaser appealed
to the mixed commission provided by tine
Treaty of Washington for Britons claim
ing to have been unlawfully treated Dy
American prize courts. The commission
unanimously upheld the Supreme Court.
The decision, It Is true, bound only the
parties, and did not make international
law for Russia and Japan.
We have recalled these facts not at all
in the interest of either Japan or Russia,
nor in condemnation of the American treat
ment of the Lena.

SPRING.

The rain is over and gone; the voice
of the turtle dove is heard in the land.
1t is the time of swelling buds, of
opening leaves, of grass-fuzZ carpet
ing the earth. 1t is the season of
growing things-the day of hope. Fall
is beautiful, because of its peace, but
spring is beautiful because it is full of
life.
Ambitions that become real events
in life, strike root in spring. The
human body takes on new vigor with
the season Life has a new birth.
Truth has new meining with the
season of ethereal mildness. 1t is the
morning of the resurrection of buried
dreams. Things come true in spring
seemed remote and vague and illusory
in winter.
Every hour of these days is precious.
1t is long lever on the future and if
it lies idle tue years events do not
move. 1t is, therefore, time to
work. In life there are few things
more glorious than the power to work
to get the days task finished at the
days end, whatever the task. If the
spring means anything TO the soul it
means endeavor-
