Marking with reverent look each passer's
face;
Seeking, and not In vain, In each to trace
That primal soul whereof he is the show.

The blessed gods that erst Olympus kept I;
Through every guise these lofty forms
serene
Declare the all-holding life hath never

But known each thrill that in mans heart
hath been
And every tear that his sad eyes have
wept,
Alas for us the heavenly visitants-

Answering their smile with hateful looks

Their sacred speech with foolish bitter
jests;
But oh. what Is it to imperial Jove
That this poor world refuses all his love

yet we worked with the orchard last

couraged when a fruit crop is light.

Contrasts Between Winters OF To-

Contrasts Between Winters OF To-
day and Those of Long Ago.
A good deal has recently been said
about the changing seasons, the striking
contrasts between our winters and the
old-fashioned ones, the skating delights
that are gone, the trials of old settlers,
and so on. What are the facts? Is there
any scientific evidence of a change in the
character of our winters? Some time
ago the federal weather bureau publish
ed a compilation of official, private and
semi official temperature data covering the
fifty years ended with 1904. The table
disposed of the theory of old-fashioned
winters. 1t showed, for example, that at
Cincinnati the mean winter temperature
fol the years 1S79-1904 was rather lower
than that of the preceding twenty-fve-year
period. At Cleveland and st. Louis the
average for both periods was identical.
