A CHAPTER OF WOES,

I remember the first time I spoke on
Memorial Day. was about four and
half years of age, but was so little for
my age that people took me for about two
years of age and that is why received
more praise than I deserved When I
first stood up before the crowd I thought

l thought to see real, live soldier GER
tainly must be a dream. After spoke my
piece [ looked at one of the soldiers so
hard, to be sure he would not run away,
that l fell off the platform right into an
other soldiers arms. I was bewildered
now; wondered if I had been such a good
girl that could see all the soldiers I
wanted to. After the program I was
amazed to find myself in wagon trimmed
with flags. I leaned so far that Z fell
out and sat blinking and winking until 1
was put back into the wagon. Twas too
bewildered to cry. I had number of mis-
fortunes; the worst one was that I lost
my red, white and blue ribbon. was all
dressed in red, white and blue, but I did
cry when I lost my precious ribbon We
never found it and mourned for it long
time. Stella Hudson.

ORIGIN OF the Easter Exc.

In ancient Persia many hundred
years before the birth Of Christ the
people were all worshipers OF fire.
According to their religion, as COM
municated to them by their prophet.
Zoroaster. there was first a great
spirit who had existed from all eter-
nifty. From him came the first light.
and from this light sprang two broth
ers, Ormuzd and Ahriman- Ahriman
grew Jealous of his brother and was
condemned by the eternal one to pass
5000 years in absolute darkness. On
his release he created number Of bad
spirits to oppose the good spirits Great
ed by Ormuzd, and when the latter
made an egg containing good genii
Ahriman produced another full Of evil
demons and broke the two together,
SO that good and evil became mixed in
the new creation In memory Of this
legend the Persians of the present day,
on certain festival in March, present
each other with colored eggs. and it is
from this we get our similar Easter

Classical Quotation.

One Of the lost arts today is that Of
classical quotation. 0ratory more
than any other branch OF literary art
varies with the changes Of fashion and
taste, but In 30 single respect do the
parliamentary speeches of today differ
from those of hundred years ago
more than In the want Of quotations
from the classics. As Bishop Weldon
points out in the nineteenth century,
classical quotation was a fine art once;
Ii was cultivated and admired; II was
q source of pleasure and influence and
distinction; it was the dividing line be-
tween culture and ignorance, and not
to use 1t or not to appreciate it was to
incur the dread and dismal censure of
being commonplace The art OF quo
tation is lost now; no one thinks Of try
ing to revive il, and few persons even
regret it. The golden age OF quotation
was the eighteenth century. Every edu-
Gated gentleman could quote Latin
then, and not q few quoted 1t easily
and habitually. Lord Holland and
Charles James Fox at times almost
conyersed In Virgil, and DR.. johnson
and Oliver Goldsmith ON one occasion
spared, SO to say, in classical quota
ton. In recent times Mr.. Gladstone
frequently used with great effect a
quotation from the classics, and the
last and greatest Of his quotations was
from Lucretius in his speech upon the
affirmation bill on April %. 1888. To
day K a member quoted Latin In the
house Of commons he would probably
be jeered at-London Globe.
