81 am thy master!'-so with scornfui
boast
Death spake to Life "Behold, thy sub
jects bow
Beneath my sceptre! Lo! whose are these
Who erst were thine-this prone, mute,
sightless host?
Nor are these all. A few swift years, at
most,
And every breathing wight thou'st claimed
the while
Shall lay him down to swell the funeral
pile,
And in my triumph thou thyself be lost.
Yea, thou and Love-mine enemies su-
preme-
Shall even be as these thou seest here
Chained in the silent halls of endless night;
Your dull, dread slumber broken by no
CLEAN
Of coming dawn; no morning shining clear;
Naught but the worm and my corroding
blight"
Life heard, nor answer made, but went his
way
To lone tomb deep in gardens shade
Where One, his Lord, the spoilers arm
had laid.
Love met him there, and there together
Rolled from the door the heavy stone
away,
And entering sat them down with rever-
ence meet
One at the head, the other at the feet;
And when the mourners came at break OF
day
Seeking their dead, two angels there they
found
Who bade them haste to spreld the word
abroad
That He was risen whom Death could bind
no more.
Thenceforward by the Christ, their Master,
crowned,
Hand clasped in hand, upon the hills of
God
Walk Life and Love together evermore.
Hence my strong hope, sure, steadfast, un-
dismayed,
The anchor of my soul which entereth in
To that within the veil. No waves of sin
Nor winds of doubt the frailest bark thus
stayed
Can wreck or whelm. Secure and unafraid
/ brave the moods of times e'er-changing
sea.
Tho death o'erpower with seeming victory,
Fen death must yield to Him who, dying,
made
My life imperishable and my love
Immortal. On, then, to the port sail
Which somewhere waits to greet my eager
ken.
He is the God of life who reigns above,
And by His word whose word can never
fail,
know the glad truth shall rise again.

stood invitingly open. 1t looked nice
and warm inside; there was no one in
sight. and Jim softly stepped in and
sat down at the back of the church,
which was in semi-darkness.
The only lights were away down at
the other end, where were gathered a
group Of boys about Jim's age, and a
man seated at an organ. Soon the
man began to play and the boys to
sing. Now one would hardly have
guessed on seeing Jim that he was a
musician himself, but he had a great
reputation among his friends, who
were sure that not one Of the famous
singers of the day had a voice that
could compare in sweetness with Jim's.
Jim was interested at once when be
heard music in the church. Oh, the
beautiful music! He had never heard
anything like it in his life. 1t made
him almost unhappy at one moment
and he would rise to go, only 1t held
him so that he could not.

THE COLOR OF WATER.
Result of Recent Experiments Made
by European Physicists.

ILLUSTRATION (Paris) gives the fol-
lowing results of recent experiments
on the subject of the color of water:
After long hesitation, scientific men
agree today in admitting that water
physically pure, seen in mass, is sky
blue. This color is that taken by
the white light of the sun when abb
sorbed by the water, in consequence
of a phenomenon the explanation OF
which would be little long. 1t is
not due to the chemical purity Of the
water. since the sea (Which is the
bluest water) is also that which con-
tains the most salt. Nevertheless, ac-
cording to F'orePs experiments, the
matter In solution should be the pre-
dominant cause of the modification OF
color; upon which act, besides the
matter in suspension, the color of the
bottom, and the reflection of the sky
and of the banks. Consequently blue
water is pretty rare in nature; a good
many seas and lakes that give us the
impression of this tint are green. The
water at present acknowledged to be
the bluest is that of the Sargasso Sea,
between the Cape Verde Islands and
the Antilles. The water of the Medi
terranean off the French coast and
around Capri is bluer than that OF
Lake Leman, much less blue itself
than that of the lakes of Kandersteg
and Arolia, in Switzerland. Hitherto
they have not exactly determined the
relation between the color of water
and it's degree of purity. The Bel
gian, Professor Spring, who has been
a long time studying this delicate
question, mas just communicated to
the Academy of Sciences at Brussels
some interesting figures Pure water
containing a millionth of ferric hy-
drate appears brown under a thick
ness of six meters; ten-millionth is
sufficient for 1t to be green; and, in
order that 1t may remain blue. is
needed less than a twenty-millionth
AS to humic matter, it causes the blue
coloring to disappear in a quantity
less than a forty-milliontn. The cai-
cic compounds should have a great
influence upon clarrification, as they
eliminate, up to certain state OF
equilibrium. the ferric and humic
compounds"

He turned and sauntered along,
crossing street after street, till he had
wandered into a section of the city
where he very rarely came, most
prosperous section, judging from the
fine broad avenue.
Jim was cold by this time, and
thought that he would retrace his
steps, when his attention was attracted
by the sound of music. 1t came from a
church close by, the door of which

Easter Sunday.
Easter is unique among the worlds
festival periods in having its origin
claimed by many nations and races.
The English name of the day is de-
rived from that Of the Teutonic God
dess of Spring -Ostera, whose name
signifed "The Arisen" a mythical be-
ing who was worshiped before Chris
tianity was thought of.
The Druids, who seem to have been
the only religious sect in Britain be-
fore the Roman conquest, held yearly
spring celebration in honor Of the
vegetable world, and religious rites
were part of the ceremony.
Similar observances were general
among the older Asiatic races, and the
Egyptians, Greeks and the Romans, as
we'll as the Teutonic tribes Of Europe
in pre- Christian times.

PROVERBS OF CHINESE.
They Appear to Have One to Fit
Every Legal Case.

every Legal SdSCs
There is no surer test of the real
feelings of a people than their pro-
verbal sayings, those gems which on
the stretched forefnger of all Ting
sparkle forever" That China is no
exception to this rule might have
been supposed even if we had no d.
rect proof, says the North China Her

common in China DR.. Arthur Smith
says that common talk" the nearest
approach to "proverb" in Chinese, Is

from the emperor upon the throne to
the woman grinding at the MILL"
Native proverbs relating to legal
affairs divide themselves roughly into
three classes-frst those more or less
common to all people, and dealing
with that "once bitten twice shy" sort
of wisdom which leads man to put
up with evils rather than go to law.
Such, for example, are the following:
If one family has a law suit ten
families are involved in calamity.
If but one word of information
against man gets into the court.
nine bullocks cannot drag it out again.
Let householders avoid litigation,
for once go to law and there is moth
ing but trouble.
Win your lawsuit and lose your
money.
Instances of this kind might be
multiplied. But we must pass on to
the second class-those referring spe-
cially to the mandarins; and here 1t
may be said that though the majority
of the proverbial sayings are not COM
plimentary, there are few to bear
witness to the good that good man
may do even in an official capacity.
while others give pointed advice.
g., Never beat if you must fine; II
you do, all fines decline" Most,
however, as is natural, deal with the
seamy side. The following are few
specimens:
No punishment on the bench, no
law below it.
Deceive, but don't insult man
DARN.
Mems hearts are like iron. sad the
rule of the mandarins like furnace.
Even an honest chih-fulmay, during
the three years term of office, saves
ten myriad snow white tales of silver.
Before he comes into office he re-
proves a thousand faults; after he
comes into Office he commits the same
himself.
Quickly pay your taxes, even If he
should empty your purse; thea you
will be most happy.
Wishing to criminate, no difficulty
will be met in finding pretext.
OF ten reasons by which magis-
trate may decide case, nine are
unknown to the public.
With only right to back you. sure
the yamens lack you.
Yamens are deep as the sea; and
their corruptions lofty as heaven.
In life beware of yamens; in death
beware of nell.
