First Hospital in New World.

1t is said that the first hospital ever
built in America was erected by the
Spaniard Cortez in the City of Mexico
in 1924. 1t was endowed out of the
revenues obtained from the properties
conferred on him by the Spanish
crown for his services in the con-
quest of Mexico. The endowment was
so arranged that it still exists and is
paid at the present day. A supervisor
is named by the lneal descendant of
Cortez at present.
In this hospital women occupied po-
sitions as nurses and physicians, and
in their care were all cases of obste-
tries and women's diseases. Consider

An Easter Miracle.

! 1t was in the year 1899, when the
armies of Napoleon We're passing over
the continent of Europe and conquer
ing all that came in their way.
1t was Easter morning, and the sun
shone brightly on Feldkirch, Il little
town situated on the Ill river, just
within the borders of Austria. The
Ill flows into the Rhine.
Quite early on this morning there
suddenly appeared on the heights
above the town to the west the gilt
tering weapons of $4,000 French sol
diers, the division under the command
of General Massena.
There was a hasty assembling of
the town council, and it was decided
that a deputation be sent to Massena
with the keys Of the town and a petit
tion for mercy.
In the midst of all the confusion of
the hurryng to- and fro and the anX-

The French army heard the sounds

He was sure that the Austrian army

THE EkSIE2 LILY

"HE lily is regarded Is saint
U among flowers. and the reason
III lilies are so largely used in the
decoration of churches is not
only because they are the most perfect
ef floral types, but because of their
symbolic meaning.
one beautiful old belief about the
lily relates that the candidates for the
Virgin Mary's hand after having
sought the Lords blessing each left
his own staff i'm the temple in the
eN ening. The next morning the dry
rod of Joseph was found green and
blossomed with lily flowers.
Another pretty legend is that Mary
on her way to the temple plucked a
lily. and upon pressing it to her breast
it became white. Lily of the Virgin
madonna flower and several other
mystical names were given to the lily
and have reference TO this legend.
\ German belief points to the Harz
white lily. 4 beautiful girl named
Alice was carried off by wicked
lord Just MS he reached his castle
the guardian spirit of the place wrest-
ed the girl from his arms. On the place
touched by the feet of this innocent
maid Sprang the white lily. This story
is believed by the peasants of the
Harz mountains. and every year hun
dreds of them make pilgrimage to
the castle to behold the dazzling beau
ty of the flower that iourishes there.
Another German legend runs this
way and relates to the red" lily:

Just as if every living being must
have soul and body, so must man have
two points of view; that which helps
him to see after worldly affairs and
that which makes him realize that
there is something beyond.
In training the child's imagination
there is danger. 1t is that he may de-
velop contempt for the practical;
but one should be help to the other.
A man who is always in the clouds is
a cause of irritation to his neighbor;
but one who cannot ascend there will
be a dull and depressing companion.
A man who sees Mont Blanc for the
first time and wonders what is going
on on the stock exchange is person

DON'T SEND DUN ON POSTAL

Ignorance or disregard of the pos

EASTER PLANT LEGENDS.

The Christian legends connected
with plants generally explain their
behavior during Passion week The
aspen still shivers with remorse be-
cause when Christ passed, it had
boldly faced the heavens instead of
bowing its head in company with the
other trees. The Savior cast one
look on it and the memory of that
sorrowful glance is handed down
even to this generation.
The willow was used for the
scourges and ever since it has drop
ped its arms in misery. The elder
is commonly supposed to be the tree
upon which Judas hanged himself,
and it is not even to be touched as
firewood However it affords a safe
refuge in a warning of the elements,
for not even lightning will deign
to strike it. A fungus that grows on
the elder and is now known as Jews
ears was originally called Judas
ears.
The exalls, or wood sorrel was
standing at the foot of the cross and
received some drops of the precious
blood. These she still carries. The
Italians have the same legend and
call this little blossom "alleluia,' as
if the very flowers rejoice in the
great gift to the world. The scarlet
anemone, too, is said to bear the
stains of Christ's blood.

THE MAN OF THE HOUR IN
KANSAS,

Jay E. House in Human Life for
March tells a powerful human inter-
est story,-and the subject is Gov
ernor Stubbs of Kansas. In all the
political turmoil and unrest which
has shriven the West during the past
five years, no other personality so
distinctive and unusual has been dis
closed. He was, so to speak, pitch
forked into reform-broke in over
night.
Stubbs, with the hayseed still in
his hair, had never seen the inside
of the Kansas Statehouse until the
first Legislature in which he sat
convened, and in his innocence i'm
agined that every member had some
sort of voice in it's affairs. So when,
on the very first day, the machine"
got a majority large enough to do
anything it liked, and proceeded to
distribute the loaves and fishes, he
was amazed and Disguised. He
protested, and his protests made
about as much impression appar-
emily as a mosquito bite on Dread
naught. Nobody paid any attention
to him.
BUT
There was a weak spot in the ar
NOR The bosses" had aroused a
sleeping giant in his wrath; typical
Kansan tornado was on the war
path. Knowing nothing of the po-
litical game, socially crude and un-
polished, he was yet the thunderbolt
which shattered the "old" Kansas
machine-drunk with pOwer-into
kindling wood, and prepared a num-
Der of clever statesmen for the junk
heap.
A splendid fighter is Stubbs-at
once the most admired and the best
hated Jayhawker on the political
horizon of the Sunflower State to-
day. Governor of his state, million
aire, ardent reformer and purifier
of politics, the story of the rise OF
this unlettered farmer boy is one
that will stir the blood of every citi-
zen who likes to believe that honor
and patriotism and sturdy manhood
are as much a part of our civic life
to-day as ever they were.

PRAYER MADE PREACHERS.

Gods true preachers have been
distinguished by one great feature;
they were men of prayer. Differing
often in many things, they have
always had one common centre.
They may have started from differ
ent points, and travelled by different
roads, but they conyerged to one
point; they were one in prayer. God
to them was the centre of attraction,
and prayer was the path that led to
God.
These men prayed not OCCASION
ally, not a little at regular or at
odd times, but they so prayed that
their prayers entered into and shap-
ed their characters; they so prayed
as to affect their own lives and the
lives of others; they so prayed as TO
make the history of the church and
influence the current of the times.
They spent much time in prayer,
not because they marked the shadow
on the dial or the hands of the
clock, but because it was to them
so momentous and engaging a busi-
ness that they could scarcely give
over.

The Torpedo.

The use of the torpedo in naval war
fare was thought of so early as the
beginning OF the last century. but it
may be said that the first practical ap-
plication OF torpedoes was made by
the Confederates during the Civil War
OF 1S61-G5. So soon as their destruc.
tive character was demonstrated both
sides used them quite extensively, and
since the war between the States the
torpedo has been the most dreaded
weapon I'm marine warfare.

Our First Money.

The first United States money was
made in 1856, but instead of bearing
the faces of leading statesmen it bore
only the face of Liberty Some few
coins were stamped with the face OF
Washington, and are highly valued by
collectors. The first coins struck by
the United States Mint were some
half-dimes. in 1892. The first United
States dimes were struck in France
from old silver family plate furnished
by Washington, and were known as
Martha Washington Dimes" from the
fact that the Liberty head was adapt
ed to that of the Presidents wife.
