ment OF the objects upon the ground
gives the idea OF naturalness to the
ground plane. That It has qualities OF
balance and arrangement is appreciable
to the artistic instinct. No. 5 may safe
~ serve as model of desirable qualities.
No: s is good in proportion, but the
somewhat symmetrical arrangement is
unnecessary. The objects placed in {.
line, while not as EXCEPTIONALLY done
as in Nos. 2, and 4, might have been
arranged less artifcially. *
: No. Z shows much freedom and varie-
ty of proportions and is altogether
pleasing in treatment. The objects ara
well placed and the same picture pur-
pose evinced as in No. 5. The control
and use OF the symbols give picture
that seems almost without the restraint
expected from the employment of such
simplified forms.
No. has more qualities to praise than
faults to criticise. It's proportions are
good but it has not the freedom of No.
Z or No. 5. Its slight stiffness of ar
rangement does not need severe criti-
cism
The criticism has not dwelt upon the
imaginative qualities, for the further
ance of these lies more within the teach
er's temperament, and here it seems adj
visable to treat of more technical con-
siderations. Nos. S and clearly show
imagination in greater degree than
the other six This is from the inven-
ton with which the forms have been
used and the ability to project picture
before the mental vision.
It will be seen that the selections have
been made to give a larger percentage
of fairly good drawings. From a class
. of 30, five good drawings, ten fair, ten
poor and five bad ones were produced,
of which two good, two fair and four
not so good are selected as representing
the character of the good and bad quail
tiles of work which the teacher has ia

the average. but it is not unfairly so.

LONG TRIP IN A TRANCE.
Man Wanders from Los Angeles to
Observation-Disclosures and Finds
Memory a Blank.

Sydney, Australia.-A curious casa
OF lapse Of memory has just been re-
vealed here on the arrival from the
northern districts of New South Wales
of an American, whose last remem-
brance was of Los Angeles, Cal. The
Americans story is youched for nv
two Sydney doctors, who have inyesti-
gated the circumstances.
The mysterious traveller left Para.
hoe, in California, few days before
last Easter, intending to join his wife
and family at Los Angeles. He remem-
bers arriving there, but has 70 recol.
lection of what happened afterward.
He awoke to find himself living I'm.
der tree in the Australian bush, and
was immensely astonished at seeing
around him many unknown forms If
vegetation. He noticed that his hands
were hard and rough, though he had
never consciously done a days hard
work.
A bullock driver passed him shortly
after his awakening. and he at once
inquired the way to Los Angeles. Tha
man stared in establishment, and an
swered that Hill End was the name of
the nearest township.
The man without a memory there
upon asked the date, and was told that
it was late in October, and that he was
in New South Wales. He worked his
way to Sydney a distance of some hun
dreds of miles. and is now irving tn M.
tain employment to return to his fam
lily.
He is in total ignorance as to their
whereabouts and as to his own doings
during the six months between April
and October.

HISTORY OF EASTER.
Day Commentaries Resurrection Of
Christ-A Movable Festival
Among Christians.

1t is we'll known that in the early
Christian church for long series of
years warm disputes took place as to
the proper date on which to observe
Easter. The churches of Asia Minor,
following what is called "The tradi-
ton of st. john" kept the fourteenth
day of the Jewish month Nissan. The
western churches, however, supported
by the church at Jerusalem and q few
others, said it was necessary that 4
Friday should always be set apart to
commemorate Christ's death, and Z
Sunday. His resurrection. The. con.
test grew so warm that each side ex-
communicated the other. Surely triv.
ialities could hardly 60 much further!
1t is difficult for us to imagine that
our fathers could have disputed, and
separated the one from the other. over
a matter Of this kind: but it is true
that the apple Of discord which
seemed to the people of that age to be
made of gold, to their successors an
pears to be made only of iron or clay.
With us, as is we'll known, Easter ia
what is called a movable festivals It
is always held on the next Sabbath
after the vernal full moon,, with the
exception that of the vernal full moon
should fall on Sunday, then,%.* to
avoid all conformity with the Jewish
practice, Easter is not kept till the
following Sabbath. The vernal full.
moon is that which either takes place
on March 81 or on the next date after
March 81. II the vernal full moon
falls on March 81, and that day hap
pens to be Sunday, then Easter
cannot be held till April Is, which is
the latest date on which Easter can
fall, the earliest: being March %.
This is certainly a very mechanical
contrivance, and one which most peo.
pie find it difficult to understand or
remember. Owing to obvious connec-
tion between Easter and the Jewish
Passover, the French call the former
Paques (from the Hebrew Pesech,
which means passing over), and OBJ
viously some such title as this would
be more appropriate than ours. which
comes from the Saxon goddess Eostre
believed to the same as the Syrian AS
tarte and. the Greek and ! Roman
Venus, who was specially worshiped
IN the spring season as the mother
and giver of animal and vegetable
life. From the earliest ages various
customs and superstitions have asso
c1ated themselves with Easter. AS al
christmas it used to be believed that
al water was turned into wine and
that all cattle knelt in their stalls in
alteration of the infant Saviour, so II
was held that at Easter the sun

house bristled with cleanliness. Snowy
curtains were Topped from shining win
dows. Every room was spotless. and
a tired little woman was watching for
Joe, and hoping she hadn't forgotten
anything. She stroked an aggressive
flute in the curtain frill, and. hurrying
to the kitchen, restirred the contents
of a bowl. saying:
Maybe I'd better put in the other
half yeast cake;" then decidedly, Il
will. Oh, wouldn't it be splendid if
these were lighter than Alice Morris

she popped in the extra yeast, beat the
mixture vigorously, and Slid the bowl
out of sight in the ice box. 80
When Joe Babcock reached home, a
boy beside him was trundling a wheel
barrow filed with parcels. Mollie ran
down to the gate in a fiutter of excite
nent, for Joe was we'll laden, too. He
deposited most Of his parcels with
Mollie, and, putting an arm about her.
skipped up the path into the sitting
room, where they unpacked his shop

KING CHRISTIAN KICKED.
And the .Bandmaster Returned ia
His Place and Resumed
Playing.

! The late Rear Admiral Alexander
Murray once related the following in
c1dent which occurred at the time
when Gustavus V. Fox, then assistant
secretary of. the navy, visited Europe
with fleet Of United States warships.
While in Copenhagen the late King
Christian invited Mr. Fox and the prin-
ripal officers Of the feet to dine. A cor
respondent of the New York Times gives
Mr.. Fox's account of what happened:
After the principal business of the
dinner was over, at the invitation Of
King Christian the glasses were filled,
and, all the table being at attention,
his majesty arose and with due formal
ity proposed The president of the
United States Glasses were raised, but
the king paused, glared over his Shout
der, and abruptly left the dining hall.
The guests, upon invitation of an aide.
reseated themselves.
In few minutes I saw the band
master come hurriedly into sight, fol-
lowed by the king, who kicked him
across my field of view. Shortly after
the king returned to the dining hall,
took his place at the head of the table.
and, the guests having arisen, again pro-
posed The president of the United
States AS he raised his glass the band
struck up The Star-Spangled Banner:
With satisfied smile, his majesty emp

things had to be done decently and in

D0TTY'S EASTER THOUGHT.

Whenever I see Easter eggs
wonder how they grew.
Because / know they are too fine
For any hen to do;
think the bird that laid them must
Have been a cockato0.
I've watched and watched our biddy hens
From morning until night;
know just what Pm talking bout,
And that I'm truly right
When I say all the eggs they lay
Are always just plain white.
The bird that lays the Easter ones
I'd dearly love to see;
It must seem like box Of paints
A-sitting on the tree,
If I could find it, would say:
please lay an egg for me-

an endless variety. Some are solid

cook, and a jolly good one to est!
What do you women expect?" ,..-@ !.
Mollie didn't say what she expected.
Joe had asked for a sample of her
Easter gown, and had limited that
chiffon boas to match dresses were
stylish-but, pshaw! Joe in the
kitchen, putting away the goodies, was
shouting bits of the anthem, mot with

Easter morning dawned clear, and
Moll1e wakened in joyous mood. She

or two, rejoiced.

Joe, longing for one more snooze; and
remembering the rusk, secretly rising
for the Easter feast, she left off,"
Suddenly Joe's drowsiness fled. He
remembered that Nancy was away,
and, dressing swiftly, he fastened
downstairs. No breakfast odors greet

The kitchen fire blazed, but no kettle
was over it. There with her head on

A N ASTER STORY
By ELVlRA FLOYD FROEMCKE

III HE BaDcOckS were fortunate
IL young people; and their good
luck was more than partially in
vested in Nancy. Nancy was of the
grenadier type; severe, capable and
thorough She had been "managin'
help" for the ten months of their mar
ried existence; cooking, washing, iron
ing and debating, till they became
more like her children; and the day
she proposed to '']arn Mis- Babcock
housekeepin' was day deferred.
One sad morning Mrs. Babcock
paused as she opened the kitchen pan
try door, for there, like a ghost Of the
departed, hung Nancy's ''chore buds, -
/. e., faded cotton skirt and sack,
checked sunbonnet and huge prunella
CATERS. "Mercy!" exclaimed she, Il

Mollie shifted. Poor Nancy, l hope
she can come back to-day. Oh, Joe!
! Easter three days off, Nancy sick, the
choir coming here for Easter supper,
and a wife who knows nothing but
singing and loving! Poor Joel"
Joe did not answer, but his kisses
proved his content, and Mollie, flushed
and smiling, was convinced.
A boy stopped Joe at the gate. 'ld
like to see Mis- Babcock," he said.
Joe indicated Mollie.
THAT hain't never Aunt Nancy's
marm," he gasped; then BE ye?" to
Mollie; and added: ''Wa'al, swan"
before he delivered the mournful news
of Aunt Nancy's "swop jaw and shet
eyes" that would keep her in bed for
Z week.
"Oh-h!" said Mollie. and "Oh-h-h!"
Knocked Joe.
What shall we do?" laughed the
wife.

little more, to show how clever we
are" answered Joe.
YES, but Alice Morris will pity you
for having married me-"
will she? Then think how you
would have pitied me had married
her." and, singing a rollicking little
song, he ran down the path, like the
happy fellow he was.
At choir practice that night they re-
hearsed the Easter anthem. There
fore, Let Us Keep the Feast" The
music was new and delightful. So
pranos and tenors led, Alice Morris
coming in with her deep contralto at
the words with malice and unchari-
tableness."
Alice sings her solo as if she un-
derstood malice perfectly" whispered
one of the chorus. Mollie heard the
ungracious remark and resolved to be
very gentle with Alice and her friend,
if possible.
She spoke pleasantly and walked
home beside her. She told her she had
heard she cooked as we'll as she sang.
Would she give Mollie her recipe for
rusk?
Alice was pleasant in turn, and re-
peated the desired ingredients, Mollie
stopping at "A lamp post to jot down
the items. Half yeast cake?" asked
Mollie.
Eyes, and bit more, If you would
insure their lightness."

parted. II would like them to be good
