The Flowers of Spring

The hardy blossoms that brave March
WINDS and gayly smile back at its fitful
glimpses of sunshine are calling on hu-
man hearts to witness that the resurrec
ton season of the year has come again.
In sunny garden spots violets are
blooming; along the borders jonquils are
swaying on their slender stalks: hya-
cinths are peeping up and unfolding tiny
bells OF beauty: the crocuses are starring
the green of grass sward. and the foliage
of bleeding heart has begun to show,
giving promise of the red and white
flowers that are to come later on.
In the city one sees the premonition of
"spring, the awakener," in the budding
of branches and the putting up of tiny
green spires, where the earth has been
brown and bare. The air has n freshness
and softness that tempts one TO linger
outside. that makes one realize the va

spends to tue calllthat is thrilling every

March Borrows.


Hiss March put on her bonnet and her
t-bcspangled veil
One day, and went out riding in her
high-ciass autos gale.
Her speed was something frightful, as
she travelled down the pike;
The trees all groaned and murmured
that they never saw the like!
But on she flew, till far away they heard
her whistle ring;
For March was out on busiuess-she had
gone a-borrowng.
she sped into the country of the Time
that-hadn't come,
Where little sleepy tucked-up buds sent
forth drowsy hum;
And April. half awake. herself, was
brushing out her curls
And binding them with clasps OF gold and
loops of misty pearls.
"oh. April, sister April, said Miss
March. with pleading smile,
II wish you'd kindly lend me-only for a
little while
"a few fair days of sunshine with sky
OF velvet blue,
And when your turn 1t is. to reign. Ill
pay them back TO you.
I'm sick of being censured for my rough
and rude attire; =
I'd like to have suit or SO that mortals
will admire. :"
SO April sSeetly gathered UP some days
of purest fgnt,
Embroidered with the amber sun and
edged with dewdrops bright,
And folde, an together in package,
nice az Aeat.
That March could safely tuck away be-
meath the auto seat.
Miss March. arrayed in Aprils clothes,
walked through the meadows gray,
And everybody shouted, Isn't this a
charming day."
The snow and sleet and billiards of the
winter-tine are past:
The grass will soon be creeping out, for
spring has come at last
But when. in A..ril's early relng, the
frozen haiistones beat
And fields were lost in scuds of fog, and
smitten by the sleet,
They groaned and said that April was a
tickle, changeful maid:
They never should have thought that she
was such spiteful Jade.
They didn't know. as ceaselessly they
growled their discomfort,
That March was simply paying back the
day that April lent.

Enlightened Methods iR Life Insurance
 The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, has just dis trubuted some official informatitn in the form of a statement which would be quite unprecedented in the history of life insurance were it not for the fact that this same institution has before treated it's policy holders to similar surprises
 The Company announces that it has declared and is paying a cash dividend upon its Industrial Policies maturing in 1906, amounting to more than two millions of dollars The fullsignifcance of this action is apparent when the na- ture of the Metropolitan Life's insur- ance contract is understood. This Con- pany is in no sense Mutual. It does not estimate" or guess at what 1t will he able to pay an insured person when his Policy natures, but agrees to pay de- finite specified, sum in return for a de- finite, specified premium paid by the in- sured according to contract. In other words, 1t sells insurance at what the protection is worth-not as an invest ment nor as a speculation. Upon this basis the cost to the person insured is of course determined by past experience and as the factor of competition pre- vents the exaction of too high a rate. the premiums must always be as low as safe administration of the business will permit.
 It may be assumed then, that policy-holder in the Metropolitan life has bought a definite amount of in- surance at the lowest market rate, has agreed to pay for it in definite sums at definite intervals, and has no more ex- pectation of extra benefits than he would have in buying fire insurance or a house on similar terms.
 It happens, however, that this policy holder is associated with a Company that, by skilled management, has had phenomenal growth and prosperity, and as the actual cost of individual insur- ance decreases with each years in- crease in volume of business, there has arisen a profit which the Company gives back to the source whence it came-though no obligation to do so, implied or expressed, exists in its con- tracts, It has thus distributed approxl- mately ten millions of dollars within the past few years, and it is a signif- cant indication of the Companys pre- sent condition that the voluntary dlvid- end of two millions now being paid is the lagest yet declared in any one year.
 It need not be assumed that the Met ropolitan Life desires to pose as philanthropic institution. Undoubtedly its growth in popular favor and it's tremendous accession of new business year after year are in part due to this voluntary application of profit. It may be ''all business" but if so, it is the sort of broad gauge, open-handed busi- ems that might be widely initiated with good results to all concerned.

ANOTHER JOHNSON PRopHEcY


 Horace Johnson, wllo has made Mid i ale Haddam famous throughout the country by his prophecies relating the the weather, earthquakes and other natural phenomena. now comes to the front again and warns us to beware of tidal wave. Horace writes as fol- lows: Prom the first to tha third of September, look for quite a disturbance in the atmosphere. Such a disturbance will not be of long duration, but may be severe for a few hours, From the sixteenth to the nineteenth, there will be a general disturbance. A tidal wave will be in order after which look for frost, After making these predic- tions the aged seer gives the following advice to amateurs: "When the sun passes the equator there will be no storm. Banish the idea of storm al- ways, when the sun crosses the line of the equator" Horace maintains a sphlnx-like silence in regard to the ex- act time for the end of the world.
