The Easter Lily.

The big white lily. grown in pro-
fusion in Bermuda and elsewhere to
meet the annual demand for floral
symbols of Easter in New York and
its neighborhood, Is not essentially an
Easter flower, and its recent associa-
ton with the commemoration of the
resurrection has no historical signifi-
canoe. White lilies. to be sure, figure
in some of the early religious portrai-
lure. The little white lily of the
woods, flower of early summer, has
long been associated by the poets, in.
Guiding Shakespeare. Keats and Ten,

the big Bermuda lily Is not symbol
of modesty and has inspired no poet

IT WAS NOT HER BACK.
Woman Had No Idea of Being Proxy
for Medical Treatment.

A missionary, discoursing upon
India, told of woman who had come
to her complaining of a very sore
back and desired that she pray for its
cure. This Mrs. Jackson did, but the
woman again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in a
bad condition. Mrs. Jackson advised
the use of an application Of iodine,
and brought out a bottle of the drug
to apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy. But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though it would hurt her were she to
use it, To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some of
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that it would not burn, and that
she had better allow her to put some
of 1t upon her back.
But" said the woman, at would
do no good"
"How 500" inquired Mrs. Jackson,
alphabetically.

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what Is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes il hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being toe much turpen'
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
nouseowner should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con.
dition to receive paint. what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.

her nose against the window pane as
she peered out into the gray drizzle
which harmonized SO well with our
state of mind.
