NS'A'ANN " ASduOcbJ
In the Ministers s morning sermon he
told of the primal fall,
And how, henceforth, the wrath of
God rested on each and all;
And how, Of His will and pleasure, all
souls, save chosen few,
We're doomed to eternal torture, and
held in the way thereto.
Yet never, by Faiths unreason, a
saintlier soul was tried
And never the harsh old lesson a ten
derer heart belied.
And after the painful service, on that
pleasant, bright first day,
He walked with his little daughter
thro' the apple bloom of May.
Sweet in the fresh green meadow spar
row and blackbird sung;
Above him its tinted petals the bios
soming orchard hung.
Around, on the wonderful glory, the
minister looked and smiled:
"How good is the Lord, who gives us
these gifts from His hand, my child.
Behold in the bloom of apples, and
the violets in the sward,
A hint of the old lost beauty of the
garden of the Lord. -
Then upspake the little maiden, tread
ing on snow and pink,
20 father these pretty blossoms are
very wicked | think.
Had there been no Garden of Eden,
there never had been fall;
And if never tree had blossomed
God would have loved us all. -
''Hush, child p the Father answered,
''By His decree men fell
His ways are in clouds and darkness,
but He doeth all things well.
"And whether by his ordaining to us
cometh good or i'll,
Joy or pain, or light or shadow, we
must fear and love Him still.
'Oh, l fear Him I" said the daughter,
land | try to love Him, too;
But l wish He were kind and gentle,
kind and loving as you"
The minister groaned in spirit, as the
tremulous lips of pain,
And wide, wet eyes, uplifted, ques-
toned his own in vain.
Bowling his head, he pondered the
words Of his little one.
Had he erred in his lifelong teachings,
and wrong to his Master done2
To what grim and dreadful idol had
he lent the holiest name
Did his own heart, loving and human,
the God of his worship shame9
And 10 from the bloom and the green
ness, from the tender skies above,
And the face of his little daughter,
he read lesson Of love.
No more as the cloudy terror of Sinai s
mount of law,
But as Christ in the Syrian lilies the
vision of God he saw
And as when, in the clefts of Horeb,
Of old was his presence known,
The dread, ineffable glory was infinite
goodness alone.
Thereafter his hearers noted in his
prayers a tenderer strain,
And never the message Of hatred burn
ed on his lips again.
And the scoffing tongue was prayerful,
and the blinded eyes found sight,
And hearts, as flint aforetime, grew
soft in his warmth and light.
John G. Whittier.

ENGLAND TO FALL.
British NObleman Predicts Capture
by Germany

British NObleman Predicts Capture
by Germany.
The Earl of Clanwilliam, who Is
in Winnipeg with his bride on his
way to Alaska, expressed himself as
of the positive belief that England
is doomed. He says Germany has
made every preparation, has strength
ened her army and navy, and will in.
wade England without a moments no.
tice Nothing will prevent England
being devastated and captured. The
British are unprepared. Her army is
weak and she could make little resist
ance against an invading force.
1t Is such talk as this that has
kept many Britons in a condition OF
nervous anxiety for months, so much
so that the nation may be said to
have been hysterical. But 1t seems
TO us that such talk is all rot. Per.
haps Germany could take England.
The question Is, however, could she
hold It? Japan could take the Phil.
ippines from us almost without an
effort. The United States could cap
ture Canada or Mexico, Great Britain
could take Denmark and Russia could
conquer Sweden in a month. But in
none Of these cases would the matter
end there. Nations In these days are
not permitted to go forth on pillaging
and conquering expeditions against
their peaceful neighbors. Civilization
would not stand for that. The other
powers would be asking questions and
taking action before the sun could
set twice. No. no; the old days are
past and with them the old ways OF
doing things.

WHERE DANCES ORIGINATED.
Waltz First Popular Among German
PeaHauts

Peasants.
or all the wonderful, stately old
dances which 200 years ago were in
vogue, only the minuet remains, and
that nowadays is very rarely attempt
ed. or course every one admits that
of all dances the waltz is queen. 1t
originated among the German peas
ants In the seventeenth or eighteenth
century. AS they danced 1t 1t was the
slow waltz, called the lander.
Later the Vienna musicians took it
up. quickened the pace, and by their
lovely musical settings of this dance
rhythm established the reign of the
waltz throughout the world. 1t is note
worthy that the composers uf the finest
dancing waltzes. ever written-Scbu-
bert, Weber. Beethoven, Strauss, Ian
ner, Labitzky and Waldteufel-were
all Vienna men. 1t Is properly three
step dance, whether slow or fast. The
two-step waltz is recent innovation
and not an improvement.
Besides the waltz we owe to Ger.
many the gallop, an impetuous, dash
ing dance dating from about 1900; the
polka, a justly popular four-step dance
derived from the Bohemian peasantry
about $780, and the redowa, a quick
movement in triple time, also Bohe-
mian in origin.
France has given us the minuet, the
quadrille or contradance and the far
andole, all square dances or dances
participated in by several pairs or sets
simultaneously.
Poland has furnished some beautiful
dances, notably the much-admired ma
zurka In modern triple time; the state
ly polonaise, kind of professional
much used in European courts and at
elaborate social functions; the varso-
vienne, slow three-step, and the era
covienne, fast two-step.
Italy's chief contribution is the Jig,
which is danced under different names
In all countries-in Italy as the taran-
tella and saltarello, in England as the
hornpipe, and in Scotland and Ireland
as the reel.
The only dances native to his coun.
try are sundry jigs, reels, clog dances.
break-downs. ETC., mostly originating
among the Southern plantation hands.
While these dances are lively and
amusing, they cannot be called artis-
tic, like the national dances Of Ger
many, Poland, Spain, Scotland and
France.

SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONs

The approaching census will not

couples are living together Just out Of

Some women like to make their hus-
bands go to church on Sunday morn
ing just to show their neighbors that
they can make 'em.
Women are such artistic dissemblers
that pair Of them can waltz together
at manless summer resort hotel and
pretend that they enjoy It,
A woman just knows that doctor

What no man can understand: How
his wife can hide two suits of pajamas
in his suit case so that he can't ever
find them without search warrant
and writ of replevin.
The main reason why a woman does
not like her husbands bachelor friends
is that she knows that they know a
heap of things about him that she
doesn't know and that they'll never
tell her.
When woman wants to make an.
other woman feel worried about her
new dress she says: "It's quite pretty
but do you think It's exactly your

FoRE1aN-MADE CIGARETTES.
We Import Heavily Despite Our
Large Domestic Production.


Large Domestic Production.
Though the United States is the
greatest cigarette producing nation Of
the world, there are imported into this
country every year more than s3,00O,-
600 worth of foreign made cigarettes.
some Turkish and some Egyptian.
Turkey Is large tobacco producing
country, yielding $4,000 tons of tobac-
co every year. and the Turks, 1t is
well known. are a nation of smokers.
The amount OF tobacco raised in
Egypt Is inconsiderable, and yet Egyp-
tian cigarettes are imported into this
country In considerable amounts every
year. The explanation of the matter
Is simple. 1t seems that the Greek to-
bacco crop last year was the largest
Greece ever harvested-about zoo, ,000,-
900 pounds. A brand of Greek tobacco
is used for Egyptian cigarettes.
Why. 1t is asked. Egyptian? The
answer is that Egyptian cigarettes are
made by Greeks, because cigarette pa
per Is too expensive for Greece, where
1t Is government monopoly. Thus
the business has gone over to Egypt.
The most famous cigarette makers of
Egypt are Greeks.
A very large business in cigarette
making has been established in Alex
andria, and 1t Is in the hands Of
Greeks, who import their tobacco from
their own country and in turn ship 1t
to foreign countries. England and the
United States are the chief markets
for Egyptian cigarettes, which are, in
fact, Greek cigarettes, those bearing
the title Turkish being imported from
Turkey direct.
There has been a decided influx of
foreigners who manufacture cigarettes,
into this country, during the last few
years. Americans are inclined to like
the taste Of the foreign brand better
than the domestic product and the
manufacture of them is heavy.
