teacher for 23 years. During the lat ter part of her career in that institu- tion she took up the writing of songs. several of which became popular and were widely sung. So prolific a writer of songs was she that her publishers found it necessary to publish many of them under noms de plume. among the best known of which were Grace J. Francis Lyman Schuyler" Ella Dale," Charles Bruce" Victoria Stew art," Julia Sterling" Victoria Ster- ling" Carrie M. Wilson" Frank Gould James Apple" Lizzie Ed wards" Henrietta Blair" and Ar thur J. Langton." In all she has writ ten under 130 different names.
 She wrote her first hymn in 1864. At that time w. B. Bradbury was the leading Sunday school song writer of the United States, and Miss Crosby was introduced to him by Rev. Peter Strkyker She wrote her first hymn for Mir. Bradbury. the first stanza of which runs as follows:
 ''We are going. we are going
 To home beyond the skies,
 Where the fields are robed in beauty
 And the sunlight never dies"
 And this hymn. by a strange coin- cidence Was the one selected to be sung when Mir. Bradbury died in 1868.
 She has enjoyed the friendship of a number of prominent men. including Presidents Tyler and Van Buren, Hen- ry Clay. William H. Seward and Gen. Winfield Scott. and she has met many of the most conspicuous figures in American history since those days.
 Miss Crosby also had the distinction of being the first woman whose voice was ever heard in the senate chamber at Washington. This was away back in the sos. when she read poem there At S5 Miss Crosby is still busy with her beloved work. During the last 15 years she has spoken in various parts of the country. and not long ago de- livered several lectures in New Eng land. She has just completed her au- thorized biography. and will publish it soon.
 Some of Miss Crosby's hymns that continue popular. in addition to Safe in the Arms of Jesus" Rescue the Perishing." and Pass Me Not. o Gen tie Saviour" are Jesus is Calling" Blessed Assurance" "AIl the Way My Savious Leads Me" Saved uy Grace" There's a Cry from Macedonia" "Je- sus the Water of Life Will Give" Keep Me Near the Cross" Let the Good Angels Come In."

|. gifted woman. Over 5000 hymns have sung themselves out of her heart and brain since she found the special work to which God had evidently called her.
 Fifty years ago Miss Crosby was writing songs that were being sung all over the land. At least one of them, Music in the Air." has survived the test of time and is still 'favorite with the school children of to-day, and many fathers and mothers will recall favorite songs of their childhood which came from her pen, such as Never Forget the Dear Ones," Proud World, Good-by, I'm Going Home." Hazel Dell," The Honeysuckle Glen," and "Rosalie, the Prairie Flower"
 But it was not until she was 45 that she began writing hymns. and of all the many thousands which she has composed and which have found place in the multitude of hymn books which have been published in the last quar- ter of century, there is none she likes so we'll as Safe in the Arms of Jesus"
 The story in connection with this song, as told by Miss Crosby. is inter- esting. "One day in 1868, she says, w. H. Doane, who had written the music for number of my hymns, came to me and said he had some music for which he wanted words. He added that he had just 40 minutes in which to catch his train for Cincin- nati, and asked me to evolve the lines in less than that time. He sat down at the piano and played the music and in a few minutes the idea came to me. I hurried upstairs, and in 15 minutes came down with the stanzas as they are sung to-day. believe that the hymn was dictated by the spirit of the Lord. It is a splendid mission hymn and has brought comfort to tens of thousands"
 Another familiar hymn which is among Miss Crosby's favorites is Res cue the Perishing." and the inspira- tion for the song was received at the Bowery mission in New York. where the author used to go almost nightly.
 The favorite time of inspiration and work with Miss Crosby is at the mid night hour. She says: After mid night everything is so quiet so still there is something about it that in spires me. that brings me in touch with humanity. and I like to sit alone with my thoughts"
 Miss Crosby makes her home with her sister, Mrs. C. W. Ryder. at Bridge port, Conn. and it is there. in the big. roomy apartment, that the aged hymn writer sits Tn her rocking chair. con- posing hymns and memorizing them. SO that she can die:ate to her sister next morning. for. as every one knows, Sire is blind. a condition ir which she has been since she was six weeks old.

The Spirit of Easter.

Easter is the promise of the Lord that all the best and noblest in man shall be renewed even as growth and bloom and ripening shall not cease. The bars of winter are broken. and the iron bands of death are riven. The bird is on the wing, and the flight of the soul shall know no weariness. The lilies lift their holy white grails brim. med with the sunshine of Gods love. for has not the Lord manifested his love in flowers and in the upspringins of green things? They are sweet in- terpreters of large certainties. Each year the winter cuts them down. and each spring they put forth again. Ev- cry spring is a new page in the book of revelation. wherein we read that life is an eternal genesis and its end is not. for it endureth forever.-Helep Keller in Youths Companion.

We propose the formation of an as- sociation for the protection of wild birds and their eggs, which shall be called the Audubon society. Its membership is to be free to everyone who is willing to lend helping hand in forwarding the objects for which it is formed. These ob- jects shall be to prevent, so far as possi- ble CD the killing of any wild birds not used for food; (2) the destruction of nests or eggs of any wild bird, and (3) the wearing of feathers as ornaments or trimming for dress"
 Six months after the appearance of the famous editorial in Forest and Stream. the Audubon Society for the Protection of Birds was incorporated in the city of New York. with mem- berslip of 11,0O0. The incorpora- tors were George Bird Grinnel, Ed ward R.. Wilbur. Charles B. Rey- holds, Joel A. Allen and William D. Page.
 In January, 1887, additional impetus was given to the great movement by the appearance of the Audubon Maga- zine, a periodical published by the Forest and Stream company. and ex- pressly designed to be the organ of the new society. x.
 In 1888 interest in the movement began to wane. The novelty had worn of. the press devoted little space to the subject of bird protection. and many people became discouraged because, in spite of the good work which had been done. birds were still slaughtered by thousands to satisfy the demands of fashion. Subscriptions to the Audubon Magazine fell of to such an extent that, on the completion of the second vol ume. in December. 1888. it was discon- tinued. and organized effortfor the pro- lection of American birds was for the time being at an end.
 One of the first results of the re- vival of public interest in birds was the organization. in January. 1896, of a State Audubon society in Massachu- sets.
 Tn the fall of the same year similar society was organized in Pennsyl. vania. and in the following year Audu- bon societies were organized in New York. Illinois. New Hampshire. Wis consin. the district of Columbia. New Jersey. Iowa. Minnesota. West Vir- ginia and Rhode Island. All the states east of the Mississippi gre now repre- sentei. except Alabama and Mississip. pi. and in the whole country there ara only about a dozen states and terri tories which have not thus put them- selves on record as being in favor of the protection of our wild birds. As an interest in the welfare of birds is a certain indication of the intelligence of the people of the community where the interest is manifested, let us hope that the few remaining states and ter ritories will not long remain conspicu- ous by their indifference in this matter

Side Walls United Exactly -O Over
 Two Billion Gallons of Water
 Flowed Out.
 A Condo (Switzerland) correspondent of the Chicago News thus describes the scene when the great Simplon tunnel was cut through to Italy:
 Outside the tunnel mouth at Iselle, near the telephone in the workshop, an excited crowd had gathered. The la Dor of six and one-half years was reaching an end. The Simplon tunnel was about to be pierced through. There was a babel. of questions, mixture of German, French, Italian and English.
 How many feet more?" What's the news now?" "Will there be an acci- dent!''
 Every one knew the danger to be ex- pected from the suddenly released mass of water in the north section when the narrow wall dividing 1t from the south tunnel should be broken open. Dams had been erected to break it's force, and wooden canal had been built in the parallel tunnel to receive it. ,.. ..aV. ....,...
 i The strain of nights vigil was be- ginning to show its effects. With tense faces engineers, officials and correspond ents waited. It was now 7:3O o'clock. A train was ready to take leading en- gineers and press men into the tunnel. At 6 some one had teleNl Nloned that material train had been derailed and ten cars were lying Tn heap. Men walked restlessly to and fro, impa- tient at the delay.
 Suddenly the telephone bell rang furiously. Some one jumped for the receiver. A voice, scarcely audible on account of the tumult. was shouting in triumph from far in the interior, mile or more under the summit of the mountain.
 "Traforo. Traforo!' C'Thrcugh!)
 Like flash the news spread. Work men waved their hats and yelled like demons. A flag was hoisted over one of the buildings. The locomotive shrieked discordantly. The big steam siren at the boiler house hooted. The noise was deafening.
 There was rush for the telegraph office, and then the telephone was be- sieged with questioners asking for de- tails. Sulzer, one of the leaders of the undertaking, and Beissner, chief en- gineer, were fallen upon by a mob and congratulated until their arms ached. Beissner seemed disappointed. for the last blast had been fired before he and the others could reach the scene of &C., ton. In the meantime the locomotive had been decorated. there was a hur- ried scramble for places. a few last words of instructions to the innkeeper and the train puffed into the Simplon.
 Inside the tunnel Engineer Karpf had taken charge of the last shift at in the morning. The boring was directed obIiquely upward. A miner named Bedassa. the same man who had drill ed the very first hole over six years ago. placed the last dynamite cartridge Five hundred yards back were work men and engineers.
 The signal was given. A sharp re- port. a detonation. a gasp for breath. and then suddenly there sprang from what had been the solid wall of rock a flood of hot. muddy. turbulent water that rushed down through the gaping hole and. vaulting madly over the first dam. turned aside at the second and third and raced away through the wooden canal toward the mouth of the

that the only pay the members of the

portiOned for by the Dick bill, passed
by the national congress and which
provides for the holding of militia en-
campments as an adjunct to the regu-
lar army. The boys have always un-
derstOOd that they were to receive
$3.50 a day, for 10 days spent in camp
as provided by the terms Of the state
law which makes it possible to hold
an encampment of the militia. The
fact that they have not yet received
this $3.50 day is the cause of all
OF the dissatisfaction.
