| SONS but once year. About " O'CLOCK
at night this beautiful flower, with its
rim of most delicate pink and Its white
center, opens. In three hours the flow-
er is dead. The midnight tolls its knsll.
The night blooming cereus, although
nine inches in diameter, dies OF old
| age after It has had but three short
hours Of maturity. The marvels Of
Peru. better known by the name Of
the four ocIocks, were the little flow
ers dearly cherished by our grand
mothers. They open late every after
noon, Just at o'clock. In olden days
these flowers were far more to be
trusted as timepieces than the ancient
wooden clocks Of the quaint farm
houses. These flowers die short time
after the sun has set Nearly all wild
flowers live but few days at most.
Snowdrops fade almost as quickly as
snowdrop melts away. The trailing
arbutus shivers in the cold of spring
and soon catches pneumonia and dies.
The biographies Of nearly all plants
can be written In the few words with
which Jesus described the life Of
lily. as "the grass of the field, which
today is and tomorrow Is cast into the
oven" The heat of the sun may both
incubate floral life and cremate the
shriveled corpse In the same day.
The Resurrection Truth.
But, though mans life, like the lilies,
may be very short, his heavenly life,
the resurrection life, is very long.
Christ was only thirty-three years Of
age when he was cruclfied. But Christ
Is today dwelling In heaven with our
dear ones who have gone beyond.
Mother, by the grave Of your little
baby, l declare it. Husband, by the
grave Of your dead wife, believe 1t.
Child, by the casket Of your father and
mother, welcome this resurrection
truth. Our dear ones earthly lives
may have ended, but their heavenly
lives have just begun. Oh, on this glo-
rious Easter morn will you accept this
truth? BY placing your hope In Christ,
who bids you trust him, as do the lilies
Of the field, will you not grasp the
promise Of heavenly resurrection?
Could we have q more beautiful sym
bol of the resurrection with which to
close this Easter service than the wild
flowers Of the east? Men often make
a thing ugly first and then cover 1t up
with paint or paste or gliding to make
1t beautiful" once wrote an unknown
writer God never does so. You will
find no sham on his works. The shape
he gives to each creature is just that
which is fitted for it, and the color
with which he adorns it will never
wash Off In his great workshop truth
and beauty go together" May the
beauty Of the truth Of the trusting
short lived Easter lilies be TO us the
symbol by which we may learn to trust
Christ while we are upon earth and
live with him in the glorious Easter
which shall be eternal and without end.

BEAUTY NOTES.

Did you ever try the little mental science trick of walking along with a scintillating star upon your chest and an imaginary basket of eggs upon your head? I know of no better plan to acquire perfect boise than this.
 Merely fancy that the star is upon the middle of your chest, and you will find yourself carrying your shoulders like a military man; with head well erect and chest high.
 ' When you are about to sit down. don't go all in heap in a chair, but simply fancy that you have a basket of eggs upon your head. and you will find yourself sinking gently and grace fully into your seat The same mental seienee will work wonders in the mat ter of going upstairs.
 One cannot bend forward, or rush upstairs. etc. as so many women do. with a basket of eggs upon ones head
 There is more in grace of movement than many suppose.

CRITICAL MUSICAL TASTE.
Nowadays a Pianist Must Please His New Public Before He
 Is Accepted.

New York, Boston and Chicago are a trial by fire for the new pianist. Time was,, know, writes Harold Bauer, in Good Housekeeping, when the newcomer, with his poetic hair and eyes and the romantic stories con corning him, was accepted implicitly on trust A Parisian or London sue cess meant enthusiasm, flowers and women's tears in the big cities in America. This was all very delightful, suppose, for the artist, and must have consoled him for his troubles, on the other side; but it is irrevocably gone. Nowadays pianist must please hfs new public and critics before he is accepted. Nothing counts but the local success, just as in Europe. Chi cago may like an artist who did not hit it of with New York, just as Der lin ridicules sometimes one whom Paris may call great. In other words. independent judgment in musical af- fairs exists in the United States now to the same extent as in Europe. This was bound to be the result Of the drastic musical training which the American public has been going through for the past ten or 15 years.

STYLES FOR STOUT WOMAN
Should Not Only Avoid Large Fig ured Materials, But Also Tight
 Fitting Tailor-Made Apparel.

The woman who is stout must not be tempted to wear large-fgured lawns. muslins, silks, etc.; nor should she wear plaids; while tailor-made, itight-fitting garments must not be thought of, nor unlined blouses, which but reveal and accentuate her super generous proportions.
 ! There are, however, some stout forms so perfectly proportioned-the adiposity so evenly distributed-as not to give the impression of too, too solid fesh." and the woman who really is perfectly proportioned can certainly wear tailor-made garments, bearing in mind to have all lines and trimmings placed lengthways.
 AS a rule the increase of flesh does not spread evenly or approximately over the entire body, but settles around the hips and abdomen, giving the appearance of a high waist and short front from neck to waist.
 The straight-fronted corset is boon to the stout woman, for, although it increases the waist size. it reduces the appearance of stoutness below the waist and round the hips, and insures a much more graceful form and car riage than the ordinary corset.
 The stout woman must give atten- tion to her underwear, as well as her outer attire, and she should wear com binations of fine-woven material; a silk and wool mixture wears well. The straight-fronted corset should be put on thus: Loosen the lace, so that the corsets can be fastened easily when on the figure; pull them down gently until they rest snugly in the waist, and be sure to pull them well down in front; then put the hand down the corset, and pull up the su- periuous flesh of the abdomen to above the waist-line, keeping the cor sets we'll down, and, when they are laced in, the corset lower part will act as a belt or support below the waist, and the actual fatty flesh, be- ing raised above the waist, is now resting snugly in the corset, leaving below the waist fiat and thoroughly supported. Draw the lace well in from waist downwards; but above the waist leave the corset easy; never mind the increase of size there; you will not only look better figure when dressed, but you will be able to breathe freely, and not invite indiges- tion,

screwed together, or we shall find that when it is leaned against it will give.
 A view of the back is shown in a little sketch at the top of Fig. l, and illustrates pretty clearly how it is con- structed. It must be firmly fitted to- gether with screws, and then fitted on and screwed to the packing-case. A ln the small sketch shows the holes for the screws.
 Should we care for the additional trouble it will give us to make it, a door cut at one side in front Suggest ed by the dotted lines B, Fig D will be of great service, as the drapery can easily be lifted up to open it. and the large space underneath the seat will form very valuable cupboard for stor- ing music or illustrated papers.
 CCC are brass balls (obtainable at almost any ironmonger's), and screwed in at the top where indicated, but these must not be fixed until we have our drapery in position. Castors should not be forgotten, as they will enable uc to move the seat easily for cleaning and ether purposes.
 Having completed our woodwork, our next task will be to upholster the seat The upper part of the case, which forms the seat, must be padded (and this, by the way, should be done be- fore the back is screwed on), and should be covered with coarse canvas, as the material we choose for draping

of the folly and futility of paying too dearly for peace. A little war would have been preferable.
 
 We are not always so careful as we might be about the last word we say to one another when we separate for the day. The child starting for school should have tender word of encour- agement, the lad going outfor an evening is the better if mother or sister go to the door with him, give look at his tie, and say something nice about the suit he is wearing, and the man go- ing to business in the morning should never be suffered to leave home without a kiss and last loving word. A man does better all day long if he starts with the approving smile and the wave of the hand which a wife can give.
 Many things may happen la the course of single day. None of us are im- mune from accident. Men have before now left home for few hours and been gone for many years. Let the morning word be always one of cheer, when it is the last word that can be exchanged till the gloaming.
 In this world of chance and change, no duty is more incumbent on people at home than to be encouraging and cheering, and to take a rose-colored v&w of whatever may be expected to happen.
 People who go about with long faces, who yield to the blues, who are crabbed and perverse, have a good deal to an- swer for. They lessen the sum of pleas ure in the world. They make other people sad and give the right of way to melancholy, and dim the brightness Of the daily path. In girls album the other day saw this stanza:
 Just as a place to live in
 This old world is hard to beat.
 There is a thorn for every rose,
 But aren't the roses sweet?"
 That is the sort of Hast word" which we should be all the time saying. There is little danger that we shall not be sufficiently serious Sobriety is in our blood. Gravity is forced upon most of us by our circumstances, and we can not always be jolly. Yet there is no need that we should go about dragging on our feet the ball and chain of irri- tability, moroseness or depression Gay ety is as yirtuous and honorable in it's proper place and time as solemnity.
 Hjalmar Boyesen. the Norwegian poet, wrote an enchanting little lyric all about girl who was called the Briar Rose. She went dancing through the days, and when the other maidens were milking the COWS or spinning. she was idle. Everybody condemned her. and sympathized with her mother because she had so needless daughter. She seemed as frivolous as butterfly, but there came a day when there was chance for an act of timely heroism, and it was the little Briar Rose who sacrificed herself and saved the town.
 Friends. it does very little good to scold and nag and condemn other peo- pie. What We all need to do is to look at ourselves. Are we willing to yield the last word? Are we willing. first and last, to say words that are genial and helpful? As the children sing:
 Little acts of kindness,
 Little words of love,
 Make our earth an Eden.
 Like the Heaven aboye"

set that fits her figure. yet which is the right shape. There is everything in getting the right kind of a corset. The professional model experiments until she procures that which suits her. Then she sticks to it. She gets the corset that looks best on her and feels best.
 "Her next duty is to lower her waist line. She pulls down her corset as far as she can and yet feel comfortable. Then she presses it down upon the hips. All day long she keeps pressing down her corset a little, using both hands upon the hips. The gesture is common to all professional models. There are none who have not practiced It
 Meanwhile, the model, if she be of the thoroughly modern type, is trying deep breathing. She gets up on the stroke of five and gets out where the air is clear and pure. Then she does her p-breathing exercises. They lower the waist as will nothing else in all the wide, wide world.
 'The model tries to find place where she will be secure from obser- vation. Then she stands erect, both heels tapping. and with her arms wide open she saws the air. The gesture IS the embracing one You open your arms wide as though you were going to take in the whole world. Then you bring them together in a-hug as though the world were in your en- brace. II is something like the exer. else taken by huckster upon a cold day. Ii is the chest-beating movement which restores the circulation.
 ''The professional model. while her arms are outstretched, will take the deepest breath of her life Then as she brings her arms together she will gradually inhale and exhale rapidly so as to give her lungs deal of quick. vigorous work to do. This idea of in 'haling slowly Is both painful and If ficult You bring too much strain upon the valves of your heart.
 'The model does this for IS minutes which is long stunt. Then she pushes down her waist line. stands erect and walks home. This course of morning breathing in the park or in the open anywhere will lower the waist line perceptibly in a weeks time.

 [ If the seat is intended to remain in the corner against the wall. then it will not be necessary to drape the back; but if we wish at times to utilize it in the room, we must cover the back. and drapery pleated from top to bat- tom, and finished with a small edging and brsss-headed nails, will be very servieeable, and look nice.

THE FASHIONABLE FORM.
My Lady Can Do Good Deal to Ac- commodate Her Figure to the
 Approved One of the Day.

To be model these days you must have certain measurements, and they are difficult to get A model, you know, can change her shape. It is cas- fly done and can be accomplished in from ten days to two months, declares Mime. Darcy.
 Imagine how difficult and even i'm possible the domestic woman would think the task. Yet professional model changes her figure without thought of its strenuousness. How much shall I measure around the waist?' she asks. Then she says: Is my waist long enough and are my hips TightT If she is told that they are not she goes home to make them right.

THE FOLD GROWTH" PINE.
Trees That Ought to Be Preserved Because of Their old As-
 Eociations,


 The disappearance of what is known as the "old growth" pine of this coun- try has saddened the heart of many 8 lover of our forests. and while these monarchs of the woods are not of the size and stature of the giant redwoods of California, they are none the less an interesting feature of our sylva. says the Boston Transcript. There ought to be some steps taken for the preservation of these old trees, which bear as important a relation to our forests of the east as do the big trees to California forestry.
 One of the few remaining tracts in this country has just been explored by party from Amherst, Mass, and is situated on Pisgah mountain, just across the Connecticut river from Bel lows Falls, on the Hinsdale (N. H.) side. Several of these trees have at- tained the height of 150 feet, and their trunks are limbless from 50 to 80 feet from the ground. These primeval white pines are declared by scientists to be more than 1000 years old, and are still in a healthy condition.
 If the state of New Hampshire can not secure this tract for a forest re- serve, the government ought to do so. With trees of later growth, intelligent forestry can be conserved by re- forestration after intelligent cutting. Tn this case, the destruction of the "old growth" pine would mean dis tinct loss to the state. Such trees ought to be preserved, because their very antiquity entities them to respect.
