An Undesirable Article,

When Mr.. B. went to call upon some
friends the other afternoon, he was on
his way out of town and so had his
travelling bag with him. This he
placed in a corner, and when he rose
to leave he overlooked it. His hostess
happened to notice it before he had
reached the door, and called to her
little daughter:
Marie, run after Mr.. B. and tell
him he has left his grip herei"
The little one gave her mother one
swift glance of surprise, bu. Jew duti-
fully to obey orders.
ooh, Mr.. b." they heard her say,
mother says you have forgotten to
take your grip with YOU" Then she
added, quickly, in tone of polite
apology: 'You see, most all of us
have had it this winter, and we'd
rather not have any more!"

divinity of spring. The very smallest
and sweetest of the early wild flowers
bloOmed in the sheltered places, and
the quail nesting on the hillside, called

Mrs. Chester dressed herself slowly
and with much deliberation, that Eas-

lay, in all its dainty fiuffiness of laces
and ruffies and tucks, upon her bed.
Beside it lay the dainty hat and gloves
and the creamy parasol which was to
cast just the right tinge of white over
the piquant face of the pretty little
woman who was to carry it.

back. Her foot slipped and turned on
the forgotten terrace, there was a lit

the violets and the Easter lilies upon

She lay quietly a moment, dazed

MAcHlNE-GRoUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand
mixed" paint of the painter slightingly
spoken of as "unscientific" and mot
thoroughly mixed" The facts are all
on the side of the painter and his hand
prepared paint.
1t is the most scientific" paint there
is. because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
a good doctors prescription. If the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscientific as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover the paint which a
good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. IL he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is in it, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
~ incorporated with Z or S per cent.
of pure Linseed oil in the factory, max
ing a paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.
The thorough incorporation of pig
ment and oil has already been accom-
plished before the painter gets it.

MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR.
Professors Son Translated Fathers
Speech Into the VernacuIar.

A college professor, in company
with his son, was enjoying a walk in
the country, when he met an old
farmer. 1t had. been very wet sea-
son, and the professor, thinking to
start the conversation in way that
would prove interesting to the farmer,
remarked:
There has been rather abnormal
precipitation of late"
The farmer seemed somewhat en-
barrassed, and the professors son,
who used different vernacular,
though he was student in the college
to which his father was attached, at
tempted to straighten out the matter.
Drawing the farmer to one side, he
said in superior way:
"The governor means that we've
been having a devil of a lot of rain."

The woman wept, she tried to brush
them all aside, for to her terror her
husband seemed to recede and recede
and she was unable to reach him. In
an agony of remorse and grief she
stretched out her arms. Then from
among the Easter lilies came a fairy
shape-a tiny child. A moment it
nestled on her breast, then it advanced
and as it advanced, the Shapes drew
away, grew fainter, and were gone;
and the tiny thing, leading the man by
one brown finger, brought him to her.

Custom Not Christian Alone.

The giving of eggs at Easter is de.
rived from the old nature worship, and
is not confined to the Christian ma
tions. The Parsees of Persia and In
dia distribute eggs at the opening oe
spring, and in many other nations the
giving of eggs at the commencement
of spring is as common as New Years
gifts with us. In Hungary the boys
sprinkle the girls with rose water and
receive eggs in return.

Many have been puzzled to know
how to tell on what day of the month
Easter will fall. The rule was laid
down at a council held in the year
ia that Easter day should be always
the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after the
2Jst of March. If the full moon hap
pen on a Sunday, Easter day is the
Sunday after.

00 husband and her boy had
filled her heart. Lacking
them, it was empty, and it ached with
a strange perplexed grief, a confused
question as to the purpose Of her life,
and withered thing.
She went to church on Easter morn
ing because her beautiful house was
intolerable to her, rather than because
she expected to find comfort. The
masses of white flowers, with the sug.
carried her back to the funerals of the
last year. The familiar words of the
service sounded like mockery to her.
LET us keep the FEAST" Even so
in Christ shall all be made alive;"
"Set your affection on things above, not
on things on earth" One by one she
caught at the phrases, only to find
each was powerless to help her.
The hymn was no better:
The strife is Ger, the battle done;
The victory of life is won!
For her strife was just beginning,
and defeat instead of victory seemed
her fate. She could not lift herself
out of her personal woe far enough
to apply the words to anything but
herself
She left the church, avoiding speech
with any one, and, with her heart like
ice in her bosom, she took an electric
car toward her desolate home.
A half block before her house was
denness which startled the passengers
Mrs Farnham got off, thinking that
she would walk the few remaining
steps; but she saw the motorman with
a white face raising a small boy in
his arms from under the fender of the
car The little fellow was unconscious,
and there was an ugly bruise ON his
temple and deep cut on his neck. Be-
fore Mrs. Farnham realized what she
was doing the child was carried into
her house, and she was enlisted with
the doctors in fight for his life
For a week the issue was doubtful
Consciousness flickered and wavered,
but would not come back. Meantime
Mrs. Farnham had learned that the
boy was nobody's child. He had sold
papers since he was hardly more than
a baby He had lived wherever he
could find a shelter, and had eaten
whatever he could get. The fact Of
home was something he had never ex-
perienced. The grieving woman for
got her grief in her devotion to the
waif who had been cast at her door
by the strange decree of what we call
accident.
The day came when the boys heavy
eyelids lifted and his childish curiosity
at his surroundings Embossed his
tongue. To open to him the doors of
new life was the most wonderful of
joys for his foster-mother. After his
long silence it was as if he had come
back from the dead. That he could
talk and laugh and eat and love
seemed like a proof of the power of
life over death. Somehow Mrs. Farm
ham came to believe that it was such
a proof, and that it was sent to her
