SONG.

The 1adv birch flirte with tho breeze,
IN daWn's flushed face looks through
the trees
And makes the meadows rosy; .
The brook adown the hillside whirls,
Tossing a flmy spray of pearls
To every wayside posy.
The lark is singing his delight
In the blue heavens out of sight
The busy mill-wheel wrinkles;
And from the woodlands airy halls,
This music stolen from waterfalls
The Joyous song-thrush tinkles.
And through the lane where daisies
And south winds wake from their long
dream,
To give the white mists warning,
The cow-bells ring from far and near.
"What cheer, what cheer, the day Is
here,
Oh, merry, merry morning!"
| The primroses unfold their bells,
The dew through softly dusk1ng dells
In silver wreaths is creeping;
The hermit-thrush his vesper psalm
Is sweetly chanting in the calm;
The blossoms all are sleeping.
The crickets chirp beneath the leaves, !.
The sunbeams spill their last red
But long the warm lights linger;
| The farm-maid brings her milking-paI,
| The new moon through a rosy veil
Lifts up a warning finger.
While softly, slowly, up the lane
The cOw-bells echo nee again
Beneath the twilight heaven.
"Sweet close of day, calm rest" they
say,
CLONE for tired wings and feet n a
stray,
peace, sweet peace of even"

Cocoanut Clocks.

} In the Malay peninsula the natives
keep a record Of time in the following
way: 4
Floating in a bucket filled with
water they place a cocoanut shell, hav.
ing a small perforation, through which
BY slow degrees, the water finds its
way inside. This opening is 50 pro.
portioned that it takes just n hour
for the shell to fill and sink. Then a
watchman calls out. the shell is emp.
tied. and they begin again.
Such trifes as minutes and seconds
are rarely needed on the peninsula.

A POINT OF HONOR

Three boxes of bOn-bOns. One Tor

lie, and one for you, Mile. Gabrielle.
They came with this white lilac from
Monsieur Allard.
Madame put by her package unopen-
ed. Eulalie, a tall, well-built girl, with
handsome, regular features, opened the
one that bore her name daintily en-
broidered on it. took out a sweet and
then began to arrange the lilac. Ga
brielle found it difficult to unite the
gOld-stranded string round the neck OF
the box, and went to her work basket
at the other end of the room for a
knitting needle. There were signs of
excitement in the agreeable but not
pretty face of the girl, who, indeed, had
nothing but a pair of fine eyes and
look of good nature to atone for heavy
features, colorless face and dull hair. A
minute later she was really pretty
for a ~moment-as her eyes eagerly
gazed at a letter that she drew out of
the bag. She uttered a little cry, and
then ran forward.
ooh, but look here, auntie; look at
this!" Suddenly an air of dismay over
came her. 'It can't be for me-" she
continued; lit must be for you, Eu-
lalie."
The aunt read the letter, or rather
note, aloud:
"Madamoiselle: I take this opportun-
ity of telling you what you must have
guessed-that l love you. 1t is my in
tention to make a formal demand of
your hand in marriage. However, my
long residence in England has made
me feel that I could not do so without
knowing whether the proposal would
be agreeable-I burst not put it higher
to you. I know this is an unusual
step to take; you must ascribe it to
my unusual training. This afternoon,
when l present myself, I trust you will
give me some sign whether you are
willing I should ask the question on
which depends the happiness of my
life. Believe me, Mademoiselle, yours
more passionately than it would be be-
coming for me to say.
GEORGE ALLARD."
All three examined the packages, and
Gabrielle examined her heart as we'll.
| Certainly there was no mistake about
the heart, apparently none about the
bon-bons.
Come said Eulalie, while NAM
ma is talking to father about it I'll
make you look as smart as possible.
We haven't too much time, for I ex-
pect your" and she paused mali.

The girls ran off together, and Nine
Goudinet went to the library in which
her husband read anything. She
told him about the wonderful good for

phan daughter Of M. Goudinet's only
brother, seemed likely to be left or

to give a dot so large as to interfere
with Eulalie's chance of making a bril-
liant marriage. Now, Allard was

with a good character, a fair forum,
and splendid prospects. Indeed, to us,

Waste oflifein America has often been
alluded TO, but no Illustration is more
striking than the fact that in New York

have been killed in traffic accidents, saws
American Medicine. How reckless we
are as to human lives is shown by the
comparative figures for London, where
in larger city-there have been only
1853 deaths in the same way. 1t is said
that the Merchants Association of New
York has resolved to pursue reform work
in this matter by all the methods in its
power, especially by such devices as may
prevent the unnecessary number Of ae-
cidents. For instance, the use Of new
fender on trolley cars, which has been
In successful use in Liverpool, England,
is to be encouraged. The reckless speed
ing of these cars should be stopped. The
fact that trolley accidents are more nu-
merous in Brooklyn than in Manhattan
demonstrates that 1t is not congo stion
q traffic alone that irresponsible for the
fatalities. Grade crossings OF steam ears
must be abolished, a reform that at once
lessons accidental deaths in a marked
degree.
