Old Thouchts on April.

Old NikOlas Breton, in thSse delight
full fantasies" 1920 of his, grew more
lyrical over April than over any other
month. One reads such passage as
this with delight: The Larke and the
JLambe look up at the Sun, and the
labourer is abroad by the dawning of
the day; Sheepes eyes in Lambs heads
teli kind hearts strange tales, while
faith and troth make the true Lovers

MAIDS OF HONOR.
Their Position in the Royal Household
Of ENGLAND.


Of England.
Maids Of honor are chosen by the
queen herself from among the daugh-
tiers of peers. who If not themselves
connected with the royal household
nre personal friends Of her majesty.
A letter is always sent to the parents
OF the young lady requesting that as a
personal favor to the queen she may
be permitted to attend at court As
the position is undeniable and the sal
ary is 1900 a year, the request is inva-
Tiably accepted, and then the newly
chosen maid receives from the lord
chamberlain the command for her first
wait"
The FIRST thing brought to the maid
OF honor is her badge. which is a min
nature picture of the queen set in bril-
liants and suspended to a ribbon. Just
before the dinner hour the maid of
honor in waiting has to stand in the
corridor outside the queens private
apartments. She carries a bouquet,
which on entering the dining room
she lays at the right hand of the
queens plate.
The maid of honor sits at dinner
next to the gentleman on the queens
right This rule is relaxed when royal
guests are present. After dinner, I'M
less otherwise commanded, the maid
OF honor retires to her own room,
whence, however, she is frequently
fetched to read, sing, play the piano or
71aKe hand at cards.-Cassers Satur-
day Journal.

The Normal Attitude Toward Death.

Inc normal RttlIuQe CWGFC bealn.
The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inatteution
or evasion. They do not trouble about
It; they do not want 10 trouble about
it, and they resent its being called TO
their notice. On this point the late
Frederick Myers used to tell a story
which / have always thought very IL
Illuminating In conversation after din
ner he was pressing on his host the
unwelcome question what be thought
would happen after death. After
many evasions and much recalcitrancy
the reluctant admission was extorted.
"Of course, if you press me ! believe
that we shall all enter into eternal
bliss, but I wish you wouldn't talk
about such disagreeable subjects"
This I believe is typical of the normal
mood of most men. They don't want
to be worried, and though probably If
the question were pressed, they would
object TO the idea of extinction, they
can hardly he said 10 desire immortal
ity. Even at the point Of death. it
would seem. this attitude is often
maintained.-G. Loves Dickinson 10

swamp Land to Be Reclaimed.

New Orleans.-A special meeting
was held recently by the Lake Boz,
gne Levee Board, at which 5,115 acres
II marsh lands were sold to Mr.. John
n Miller of Springfield, ILL.,, at the
rate of rs cents an acre. The meet
:ug was called for the exclusive pur-
pose Of consummating the deal. which
had been pending since December 10,
1908, when Mr. Miller first secured
an option on the lands. The option
was renewed on several occasions, and
deposit of 5000 was made as part of
ihe purchase price, and when some
DAYS ago the holder of the option
decided to exercise it, he notified the
board and a special meeting was at
once called.
The lands are located in the lower
section of the Lake Borgne District,
and were surveyed some time back
al the expense of the purchaser.
Mr.. Miller is a capitalist of Spring
field, ILL.,, and intends to reclaim the
lands and convert them into rice and
truck farms. He will probably or
ganize a company for that purpose,
which may purchase more lands of

But this morning her mother talked

Elsie loved her dearly and tried hard

1t was all SO old. She had heard it
