MARY's FISHING.

The other day little Mary, aged
four, was having a most exciting time
fishing from the nursery window.
She had a long string that reached to
the top of tall rosebush In the gar
den.
"Now have caught a whale!"
laughed she. And up she hauled a
whale that weighed several tons at
least judging by the tugs and gruntS
that Mary gave. This monster was
safely landed on the nursery floor,
and the line again lowered. Next
came a swordfsh, which was fol-
lowed by other terrible creatures that
caused Mary a fresh shout OF Joy
each time. Suddenly her mirth was
changed to q horrible groan, and
then a cry of blood curdling fright.
Mother ran to her and looked out the
window to see what had happened.
Coming up the strlng-possibly to
see what had become of all the sea
monsters--was pretty little black
and yellow spider. Nearer and near
er 1t was crawling. and closer and
closer Mary held the string.
Save mel" she sobbed. "oh, the
awful thing will eat me up!"
"Let gol" laughed the mother,
Mary had never once thought OF that
solution. The right hand relaxed.
and all danger was past.
Dear mel" said Mary later from
the coy harbor OF mothers arm.

The highest aim is the develop

who have the keen sight of love may
detect it's presence in every one. They
know that as the slime hides the lily
root and blossom, as the hard rock
holds the precious ore, IS the acorn
encompasses the oak, so every hu-

the divine. They are not deceived by
the external slime and hardness and

AMERICAN GARDENS.
A Japanese Woman Thinks Them
Pretentious and characteristics.


Pretentious and Characteristic.
"We see in every human produc-
tion touch of individuality peculiar
to the worker, and so it is with
American gardens" says a Japanese
newcomer to this country. when
| first saw those smooth lawns, with
only some gorgeous fowerbeds and
well grown trees bordering them,
believed that they were merely the
front grounds, as we call them in
Japan, and that there surely extended
behind the house gardens of more
individual taste and design. But as
time went on it became evident to
me that no such cultivated part ex-
listed in any back grounds, and that
simple, plain green was the only and
universal style of garden in America.
Now, as l pass along the country
roads looking at the gardens, all
much the same in appearance, the
striking display of national charac-
teristics appeals to my interest
First of all, the exposure of a
private garden to the public enjoy
ment-cultivating 1t in front of the
house, along the street, with no high
barriers to seclude it-seems to re-
veal a spirit of cooperation and
friendly open-heartedness. What a
boundless benefit it is for the public
to have the roadside thus frightened
and beautified with various flowers
and greens, which man adores by
nature! A wretched beggar may
enjoy the smile of spring as much as
the owner of a garden; poor tene-
ment house children may be as ia
miliar with nature as any favorites
of fortune. Here continental mag
nanimity is exhibited, in decided con-
trast to our self-seeklng seclusion,
natural to all islanders.
But l have a slight discomfort in
this full decoration of front grounds,
for, besides its lack of artistic design,
| see in it-perhaps because of preju-
dice-the same motive displayed as
in making an array of dishes on din
Ing room walls or In having all ones
beautiful pictures in sight at one
time, the exhibition of all ones
choicest possessions. which does not
accord with the japanese idea of lik-
ing to use silk lining for cotton
clothes.
"on the whole, however, there are
greater advantages here than see
in Japan. And. moreover, only such
form of garden could keep har-
mony with these commanding Ameri-
can houses and their practical lnhab-
itants. How incongruous 1t would be

Nor would a fiowery American wo.
man prove to be fitting figure In
those quiet colored. shady scenes of a

1T is TO be hoped for Japan that
the practical gardens OF America will
be more frequently adopted, and, on
the other hand, our imaginative gar.
dens, together with our lowly
thatche cottages, may furnish some
pleasure ground suggestions to this
country"

Bobbin Boys Wages.

Turning to the amusing features

We sometimes compare God with

by way of contrast as that the one IS
weak and the other infinitely strong.
Suggestions.
It is indeed reasonable that He
who created the human brain should
be beyond the reach Of the human
brain to understand.
There is no one spectacle than

God has no knowledge that He

all to US eagerly, as soon as we can
receive it.

There is still ringing in the air
somewhere every word that was ever
spoken. This fact helps us to under
stand Gods omniscience.
How marvellous would the mind OF
a man seem to the consciousness OF
a grass blade! Is it any wonder that
the mind of man cannot comprehend
the mind of God?
Questions.
Is the thought of Gods omnisclonce

A new invention has been intro

DR.. Fortin, of Paris, has reported
to the Academy Of Science a new con-
trlvance which he believes is to be of
great service In eye diagnosis. The
physicians found that the light from
a mercury vapor lamp passing
through two sheets of blue glass and
reflected into the eye of large lens
reveals the internal condition infin-
itely better than the ordinary white
light. BY placing a screen with a
pinhole between the light and the
eye a magnified image of the vessels
at the back of the retina, which have
hitherto been almost invisible, has
been obtained.
