ten and pray; but now the weight OF
years is heavy on him, and he re-
mains above. To-day his limbs seem
unusually heavy; he sits down on a
bench, and as the sound of the bells
dies away, he sinks into thought.
Of what? He hardly knows. The
be1fry is but scantily lighted by his
lantern; the bells themselves are but
dimly seen in the gloom. From be-
meath, in the church, one can hear
family the singing of the congrega-
ton, while the wind plays with the
bell ropes. The old mans head sinks
on his breast as broken visions OF
the past float through his mind.
'"They are singing" he says, and
then he sees himself in the church.
From the altar come the voices OF
singing children and the loud voice
of the old priest, Father Gregor, dead
long, long ago. Hundreds of peas

make the sign of the cross, all we'll

Few people who see the multitudes
OF lilies that will be used on Sunday
In the adornment of churches will re-
aiize what has been the labor Of bring
ing these lovely flowers from the places
where they were grown. or even what
care has been necessary to force them
Into bloom for this time of year. Amer.
lea uses for all kinds of decoration,
but especially for Easter, ten times as
many lilies or flowers as any other
country. A florist has been heard to
say that this is not an imported fad,
but an original one. The lilies that
are peculiarly Easter lilies are in
bloom in their native soil in Bermuda
at this time Of year, and yet there, in
the land of flowers, an American wom-
an was astonished a few years ago to
find that no flowers were placed upon
the affairs Of the churches on Easter,
although the worshipers could look out
through open doors and windows to
whole fields white with lilies.

Voices of the Dead.

Paper, type and ink are the body in
which the soul is domiciled. And
these three, body, soul and habiliment,
are a triad which should be adjusted
to one another by the laws of har-
mony and good sense. Books are the
voices of the dead-a main instrument
of communion with the vast human
procession of the other world. Sec
ond to none as friends to the indivi-
dual, they are first and foremost as
bonds and rivets of the race.-Per'

EDUCATING GIRLS m EAST.

Dr. Roxana H. Vivian, instructor OF
mathematics in Wellesley College,
who's is spending a years leave of al
sence in teaching at the American
College for Girls in Constantinople,
writes In a recent letter:
"a characteristic example of the
way education for girls is regarded in
the Orient, and also typical of East
ern bargaining, is the experience the
college once had with a rather i'm
portant gentleman who wished to seni
bis two daughters to the college. BY
dlnt of perseverance and bringing va
rious Influences to bear he finally
made an arrangement by which the
two girls were to come for half price.
When September arrived only one
girl appeared. and with no money,
but she brought a message from her
father that he had decided to send
n girl for nothing rather than two
at half price.
Half the problem of education here
in the East is to make people under
stand and appreciate it enough to
want it. The result is that students
of all grades appropriation and ability
are expected and provided for, and
the work. of the instructor is very
largely individual. The classes are
small and there is hardly enough ma
terial of any n variety to call it
average. Parts of the work are neces-
sarily elementary, but it is approached
from a truly broad, scholarly and pro-
gressive standpoint. Girls marry
early in the East, and the years for
study r correspondingy few. They
enter college young and immature,
but four years OF college training
make apparently greater differences
with them than with American girls.

PEARY's PLANS NOT MADE.
Explorer Has Not Yet Applied for
Leave of Absence.


Commander Robert z. Peary was much
surprised to learn yesterday that ne had
applied TO the Navy Department for
two years leave Of absence In order 20
make another attempt to reach the north
pole. Charaeterizing the report as a mis-
take, the explorer took enough Of his time
from Sunday visitors 10 explain that he
had not asked for leave as yet, but his
remarks implied that he has by no means
given up the idea of heading another ex-
petition this year. He remarked casually
that there was no necessity of starting
for the pole before July !, as favorable
climatic conditions do not prevail until
after that date. The commander would
not say that he was bent on applying for
leave Of absence shortly. and was like
wise unwilling to express any determi-
nation against again entering on his
famous quest
Another Tumor which he thought it well
to contradict was that he had secured a
fund Of 100000 with which 20 push his
expedition into the faTthest arctic region.
He said that he had never dreamed OF
such a sum. although If he had it things
would be made much easier for him.
waiter NeiiHldn the Othef pole seeker
IN the city, has completed his plans, and
unless there IS some unexpected accident
he will have finished his journey by the
fall. He will sail for Paris on the New
York the latter part Of this week and
spend the spring in making ready fol
aeronautic flight. His expedition, which
will comprise four men, will make il
start toward tne middle OF August from
/ Spitzbergen Mr. Wellman said that thu
balloon would be supplied with provisions
enough to last for year. but that he
expected to be back in Washington mex
