EASTER PROMISES.

"There is no DEATH" the flowers say,
I'm faith we hide our souls away,
While tempests desolate the earth,
And patient wait the promised birth"
The south wind chants, "There is no death,
| come and winter is breath;
Against his falling walls | set
The snowdrop and the violet"
Glad prophets of the life to be,
A kindred spark abides in me,
That, ike the wind, no thether knows,
And yet is comrade to the rose.
Thus mother earth, thy gracious breast
Gives all thy tired children rest,
Where, sheltered from the storms, they
bide
The coming of the Eastertide.
From "Sword and Cross and Other
Poems," by Charles Eugene Banks.

STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER.

STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER.
You may be interested to hear of a
thing which happened to me in Brit
tany last summer. / had to sign some
railway transfers before the nearest
British Consul, who was at Brest. 1
locked up the papers and railway
stocks in Breton cupboard as high
as the ceiling and very solid. 1 kept
the key in my pocket. When my cou-
sin and l were ready to start l took
out the key and it would not open its
own cupboard. The servants came in
turn and tried in vain. We had to
miss our train to Quimper, which
was our first stage to Brest. Now
our village blacksmith was very
rough and ready, SO the next morn
ing l said l would try the key myself
once more, before he perhaps ruined
my lock.
The key fitted perfectly and we
went. But, imagine, we found at the
station great placards posted up tell
ing of the awful wreck of the Brest
train the day before. and it was the
train in which we should have been
but for the obstinacy of the key. We
saw the carriages all fallen into the
river, and the dead and dying were
in the hospital at Quimper. We feel
this to be a preservation wrought
from the next world that is so near

fttingness of times and events only
strikes us now and then when we
stop to reflect; but this side of life,
the beautiful, undulating order OF
the universe, is what gives man his
sense of security; it is the root of all
the gayety and the buoyancy with
which we tread the appointed paths.
What! shall the orbit OF the star be
mapped out, and the hip-joint of the
iocust's leg be set so that he can
make music through the hot and
sultry nights, and the blows that fall
upon the yearning soul of man be
meaningless and haphazard? Only
when we are too tired to think do
we feel the necessity of the existent
order of the universe.
1t is not to detract from the value
of a symbol, therefore, to realize that
It is in its essence of the intrinsic
nature of the human heart, the re-
suit of that inevitable preoccupation
of man, and that in all ages, all
climes, he has reacted in some way
or other against the numbing con-
clusion of a possible ending. In the
lowest tribes and the farthest days
some care was taken to provide the
dead with solace on the long jour-

Industrial Alcohol for Farmers.

The value of industrial alcohol to
farmers is the theme Of an article in the
current issue of Harper g Weekly, which
shows the interest that farmers Of this
country, particularly in the west and
east, are taking in the new fluid. A
farmers national committee was ap-
pointed nearly year ago, and its object
is to promote the use Of alcohol in the
industrial arts, and especially to eneour-
age its use for light, heat, and power, to
the end that new markets for farm prod
ucts shall be opened, modern improve
ments brought into the rural home, the
toll of the farmers wife lessened, and
all the benefits of cheap alcohol diffused
among the people in the shortest possi-
BILE time. It is urged that farmers make
every possible use of the fluid.
It is known that Augustus Saint
Gaudens left an autobiography, which
he wrote and dictated during the last
years of his life. The Century will print
it in 1909.

Now, the figure In the picture was
painted solely from imagination, and
the artist fastened to explain this fact
to his correspondent. She thereupon
asked for an appointment and took an
oil painting Of her mother, asserting
that 1t was a faithful representation Of
that lady.
The academician was astonished to
perceive that he had really portrayed

Eccentric Stamps.

''The fascination Of stamp collecting"
said postal official, lies In the rars
finds which are continually made and
the curious points which sometimes
make a stamp of the face value Of q
few pence worth hundreds of pounds.
For instance, the twOpence blue Maui
ritius stamp which the Prince Of Wales
bought at public auction for FL, 45O
was unique in one respect-the proper
wording on 1t, Post Paid Mauritius,'
had by strange error been altered to
Post Office Mauritius.'
Another stamp which has been
priced at several hundred pounds ia
valuable for the mere misspelling Of
single word. 1t is a British Guiana is
sue worth just cent, but 1t is sought
after by all collectors because the word
'Patimusque' figures on 1t instead Of
'Petimusque.'
again, a one-pepny Cape of Good
Hope stamp changed hands the other
day for nearly ECO simply because In
stead Of being red, as are all the others
Of this issue, its color was blue.
"Some years ago in Western Aus
tralia few stamps were printed with
rhe figure Of swan upside down upon
them. When the mistake was detected
the issue was hastily destroyed Sew
eral specimens had escaped, and one Of
them has been sold for f4OO."-London

KINasToN's AGED OAK.

Centuries Old and Washington and
Clinton Sat Under 1t.
Il was at Kingston during the Clin-
ton reburial ceremonies on Memorial
day." 1lid New York man to q Sun
reporter, land I stood a while beneath
the branches Of what is perhaps one
Of the most remarkable old oak trees
to be found anywhere in this country.
Just how old the tree Is no one
knows, but there are records showing
that 26O years ago 1t was landmark.
The tree stands to-day more than 100
feet high and its trunk is nine feet in
diameter. Nowhere about 1t did I dis
cover any sign of decay or declining
vigor. rt
But aside from its admirable physi-
cal condition and aspect this old tree
has historic interest. The tree stands
not a great way from the old senate
house, where the State of New York
had its birth. and it marks one edge Of
the plot on which the famous one-lep-
ged Dutch governor Of the colony. Pc
ter Stuyvesaht, built q stockade as a
defense for the colonists against ma
-auding Indians.
After the revolutionary war, when
General Washington went up from
Newburg to visit General George Clin-
ton at Kingston, the two patriots sat
beneath the spreading branches of this
oak and for hours recounted the events
Of the long struggle and doubtless dis
cussed plans for the future welfare of
the country. Who may know but that
some of the benefits which we enjoy to-
day under the institutions of our gov
eminent are results Of the discussions
Of those two great patriots beneath
this grand old tree? l brought myself
to think 30, at any rate.

A naturalist has thus described tho
habits Of q species Of wasp that makes
its nest Of mud, says the Dundee Ad-
vertiser. The mud Of which their nests
IL composed, he said, is often carried
for some distance, as 1t IL essential for
them to use good, stiff clay. At the
edge Of some pond or stream you may
see these insects roll sticky little balls
out Of the stiff mud with their strong
jaws. With this heavy load Of mud
they rise slowly, and, having gained
some height, they get their bearings
and ny In a straight line to their nest.
In this way they resemble the bees; in
deed, all the wasps' and bees seem to
have wonderful faculty for flying
directly home from any point. When
the wasp has gained the place select
ed for building site she puts the tiny
ball Of mud against the wall Of the
building and rubs 1t tight BY moving
her head from side to side very rapid
ly. The outer surface Of the nest shows
series of rings, with sharply defined
lines between most Of them, but the in
terror is always extremely smooth and
almost perfect cylinder. While build
Ing her nest the insect continually runs
in and out Of the tiny cylinder, exam
lining 1t infinitely with her "feelers."
II rough place is felt on the inner
surface she carefully sets to work and
rubs 1t smooth. When the cylinder 10
