May Sunshine.

Just a little mayflower blooming. Nothing more: Yet it makes the pine woods sweeter Than before. Just a smile of recognition. Nothing more; Yet it makes the world seem brighter Than before

And how comes summer In the south? The cotton Is squaring and boiling and soon will be opening. The woods have long been all odorous or hloom. the gardens are richly aglow Southern magnolias are blooming now Picnics and love-making everywhere The university commencements are coming on. and the sweet girl gradu- ate is having that most bewitching gown fitted. Windows are closing up and folks are living more and more in soft. cool shadows of long atry halls There are serenades at nights and chaperones are busy looking after beues at military balls. Summer is gay and good anywhere, North or South.

 A New Whistler Story.
 A new Whistler story is told by friends of Miss Pamela Smith the young American artist who has made a reputation abroad by her original work in color and black and white. Miss Smiths designs, while they show un- common imagination. are technically crude, and a friend of hers who knew Whistler was anxious to get his opln- ion of them. She took a portfolio of Miss Smiths illustrations to thc paint CT, and waited anxiously as Whistler examined them.
 He looked them over carefully, and remarked, gruffiy, She can't paint.
 Then he went through them again. And she can't draw"
 A third time he looked through the portfolio. pausing thoughtfUlly over each sketch.

Lessons Learned from the Japanese
 War.

Perhaps the most complete overturn- ing of a well fixed belief that this War has brought about is in the matter or the bayonet, which had come to be considered an obsolete weapon, and had lost its true character as an ad- junct to the gun whose purpose Was to convert the gun into a pike. It had become a tool of general utility for cutting meat and saplings and dig ging entrenchments, and was attached to the gun principally as the most con venient means of carrying IL, and tn It 1t might he there for use as hayon t in the very few emergencies that were expected to require such use. Wls1 the increase in the power and accuracy and quickness of fire Of the soldier rifle battles were expected to be decld- ed at long ranges, and 1t was thought that hand-to-hand conflicts between the combatants would be of such rare occurrence that special provision was not needed for them. But in the war in Manchuria there have been many conflicts with the bayonet, and indee q 1t may be inferred that ill more than one instance these conflicts were the decisive events in tho battle. In the defense of Mukden the last point ne'd by the Russians was the celebrated PutiIoff Hill. so called after the Rus sian colonel who led the gallant charge WHICH the Hill was ItCdptui Sl liOIii the Japanese in the first days of the defence of Mukden. After tho "ecap- ture by the Russians, which wAs not accomplished at the first effort, and during the twenty days of fighting. charge after charge was male by the Japanese, in one day as many as four. The futility of the charges by day sooE taught the Japanese that their only hope lay in attacks by night. for 1t was only at night that they could come into sufficiently close contact with the enemy to hope to dislodge nim. One result of these close combats, we are informed, was the frequent Elistakihs of friend for foe, and both sides in- cured large losses from this cause When the Japanese finally regained possession of the hill there had fallen around 1t more men than were lost by both sides during the whole of the BoeI war.-Major Ormond M.

How the signs for summer make one homesick for the South, the land of summer Here the open cars are on. The vendors are crying, 'Straw-w-w- berries. Straw -berries!~ Strawberries! The windows over all the ragged sky line begin to open up, like so many great flowers, showing glimpses of the life within. The parks in every quar- ter of the cities all that go to make up Greater New York begin to glow with tulips. gorgeous tulips. The wis teria in the park is beginning to bud and the artists are beginning to ride or drive through the park to see it in it's purple glory. Friends are going out to get their houses in summer trim and are bringing back to city folk great punches of apple-blooms, the magnolia flowers of the North, blue bottles, bleeding hearts, violets and the last of the trailing arbutus. The plays and players are moving out of town and every soul that's able is tax ing a passage across for the glimpse of the Old World. The season is over, and rest Is the thing.

Personal and Pertinent.

There are some words from a sermon by pr. Dwight Hills of Brooklyn that might we'll be brought each day to the note of the many multi -millionaires of the land: whenever a man has pro- duced wealth and used it, poisoning his soul through it and making 1t serve, gaining that wealth by truth justice, industry, economy. prudence and thrift, and then handing it on, saying to this poor artist; study and paint for the people," to this great author, Instruct and write for the people, to this architect, Build for the people" to this physician, Heal the people and succor the people" Then wealth has blessed the State. That man shall be like "a tree planted by the rivers of water; he shall bring forth his fruit in his season, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" Just now, however, this kind of man Is as occasional as a solitary palm tree growing in desert. But the time is at hand when the rich man shall be like the tree of life, growing on the banks of the river of the water of life, named abundance for all the people,"

Few nature photographs can relate such a thrilling experience as MT Frank NJ Chapman tells in his article, Flamingos in their Rookery," in Country Life in America for May. He says:
 As we approached the rookery the birds left it, affording me several op- portunities for flock shots with the "Graphlex" keyed to 1000 second eX- posure-pretty high speed for cloudy day! The blind was placed behind the bush and the side toward the rookery covered with branches and palm leaves. Without loss of time 1 entered 1t and my assistant returned to camp. Would the birds return to their nests, or would their suspicious be aroused by the new ly erected blind? As my assistant re- treated they arose in a body, swept over the rookery, circled, returned to the lagoon, and a few minutes later be- gan to walk back to their nests. Then followed an intensely exciting experi- ence, Without hesitation the birds. nearly 2,000 strong, marched toward me, while l worked my camera like a machine gun, making exposure after exposure as the red line came nearer. Paving no attention whatever to the blind, the birds proceeded directly to their nests, each bird apparently recog- nizing its own, stepped up on them, and after much honking settled on their eggs Assured that I was now safe from discovery, I proceeded to pho tograph at leisure the marvellous scene almost at my feet. Was a richer feast ever spread before a naturalist pho tographer?

 Word comes from Scotland that the University of Aberdeen has just con- ferred the degree of IL. D. upon two noted authors. Maarten Martens and Thomas Hardy. Both of these novel, ists had journeyed to Aberdeen to be present at the opening of the exten- sive but little known art-gallcry there, which has been completely remodelled. and the University took this opportu- nity to confer honorary degrees upon the eminent guests. An eyewitness says that Thomas Hardy received a most enthusiastic welcome from the students when presented for the de- gree. and also gives us the following little picture of the two writers: "Thomas Hardy Is the novelist with inc gray mustache the thick eyebrows, and the clear. meditating gray eyes.

In the opinion of most people. the late General Lew Wallaces fame as a soldier is somewhat overshadowed by his enviable position IS an author. That such was not the case In the mind of one young lady, at least, Is evidenced by the following anecdote, which comes from CrawfordsVille, Indiana, the home of the author or Ben-Hur: There apeared in the little Indiana town one day, girl who seemed to be a wrde-awake young American and who was eager to see all the sights in Charlottesville. She had been told that General Wallace's home was worth seeing, so she went alone to the house an dasked for Mrs. Wallace, who received her in a spirit of kind ness and true hospitality. The girl told Mrs. Wallace that as General Wal lace had served in the war she was eager to see his nome and learn more about him. So Mrs. Wallace showed the girl all over the house. The girl was deeply interested in viewing cer- tain relics of the war ana even laid her hand tenderly on General Wallace's sword. Finally Mrs. Wallace took the girl into den that seemed richest in interest. With the greatest possible pride Mrs. Wallace said, This room will interest you more t.Ian any other in the house, for at this desk Gen. eral Wallace wrote the greater part Of Ben-Hur" The girl rocked up with interested wide-open eyes. Wrote Ben Hur?" she repeated. Why, does Gen. eral Wallace write, too?"
