Ct Matthew'S Flower.

No saint has more interesting how-
er dedicated to him In the floral calen-
dar than st. Matthew. This Is the pas
sion flower. 1t is thought to have en-
blems of the crucifxion, and to these 1t
owes the name given to it by its Span
ish discoverers in America. The I'M
aginary resemblance Of the corona to
the crown of thorns is the basis Of the
fancy. In addition to that there are the
five antlers for the five wounds and
the three styles for the nails, while the
hammer, the lancet and the scourge are
also traceable.

A woman's Paradise.

Manxwoman declares that the Isle of
Man is in some ways woman's para
disc. where at any rate she Is more IA
vored by the law than In any other
part Of the kings dominions. Among
other privileges she enjoys vote for
the Manx house Of keys and this
whether she Is widow or spinster,
owner, occupier or even lodger. Every
widow enjoys half Of her husbands
personal estate, quite regardless Of her
late husbands wishes and "will,"
while the husband cannot even deal
with his own property without first OBJ
tanning his wife's written consent to
the transaction.

GIOTTO, THE ARTIST.
The Circle He Drew From Who
Grew a Famous Phrase.

Giotto was a famous painter, sculp-
tor and architect of the latter part Of
the thirteenth century. He was son
Of a poor shepherd, but the attention
Of the great master, Cimabue, having
been attracted to the boy by draw
Ing the lad had made on fragment Of
slate, the young artists fame spread
rapidly throughout southern Europe.
In those days it was customary for
the popes to send for the noted men
Of their realm, more for the purpose OF
gratifying their desires to see such
celebrities than anything else. Giotto
was no exception to the rule. No
sooner had the young Tuscan become
famous than Pope Boniface VIII. In
vited him to Florence. When young
Giotto arrived at the gates Of the
pope's private grounds, according to
the account, the guard halted him and
inquired concerning his missieps
The artist made the matter plain, but
the guard was not satisfied with the
explanation, frequently interrupting
.Giotto's explanatory remarks with, 'T
know he must be much larger and
distinguished looking person than your
SELF" and "Giotto, too, is a famous
painter. By your walk would take
You to be a shepherd" Finally, upon
demanding evidence of the artists
skill, the latter stopped and traced a
feet 0 in the dust Of the path with
his finger. Any one who hcs ever at
tempted the feat Of drawing perfect
circle "offhand" well knows how diff
cult 1t is.
It is needless to add that the artist
was forthwith ushered into the pres
ence of the supreme pontiff. and that
since that time "Rounder than Giotto's
O" has been favorite hyperbole to In
dicate impossible perfection"

A CHEERFUL FAIRY.

The sunlight fades and shadows creep
In from the fields at close of day,
To bring train thro' realms of sleep
To lands where happy children play.
The train is only train Of dreams,
And yet tits safe from earthly harms,
For the guides guide the world esteems,
Each sleeping Car mothers arm.
The road is only dreamy mile;
Along it's tracks the flowers lie.
The fare is but mothers smile
Aud the soothing notes of lullaby.

there being seating capacity for only
one passenger. There is also a total
absence of complicated steering APP

Immediately In front Of the rider. One
lever Is sufficient to regulate the speed
and is placed in close proximity to
the seat. Probably the most peculiar
feature is the method of steering. This
Is done by means Of the feet, very

peculiar features are the size Of the

The house where was born,
The little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn,

Nor brought too long day;
But now l often wish the night
Had borne my breath away!
I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets and the lilycups-
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday
The tree is living yet!

And though the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing,
Ny spirit flew in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.

Were close against the sky.
