LINE IN JANUARY.

Old Winter shook his hoary lance
 And gave the south blow. Come, did you think 'twould ever chance? We had fall of snow And icy pavements, treacherous, Provided means to slip; And there were many known to us Who wrestled with the grip" But when we thought we'd just despair
 Of pulling through the freeze, And scarce a prospect anywhere
 Was of the sort to please, The genial sun came out again,
 The skies were bright once more And pent-up wights could not refrain From peeping out of door. -nen twilight crept down rom the nfns
 As soft as zephyr blows In region where fountain spills
 And blooms the queenly rose. The shouts of little tads at play
 Resounded in the street, Who frolicked there at close of day
 With careless, flying feet. From opened windows came the strains
 Of popular duets, Performed by palpitating swains
 And starry-eyed coquettes. The glad householder doffed his coat
 And made mild pretense, When neighbors round could plainly note,
 Of patching up his fence. So balmy was the purple night, So free from all alarms Of winters fierce and frosty blight
 So like when summer charms, We half believed the rare deceit That June had come again And no more sullen storms would beat /
 Against the window-pane.

Well Known Secret Societies

America is the land of fraternal orders." said a man who holds mem bership in number of secret societies, "and in looking over the statistical reports of Its various organizations for 1910 I find that most of them have had substantial growth.
 A"In England Freemasonry is strong. both numerically and in the social prominence of it's leading members. The Manchester Unity ol Odd Fellows and the Foresters are also strong in England, but these are about the only orders that one hears much of in Great Britain. On the continent secret so- cieties are few in number and those that do exist have their lodges chief ly in the large cities. '
 ."In the United States and Canada the secret orders now rank numerically in the following order: Independent Or der of odd Fellows, 1.441,4O3; Freema- sons, 1,3s9,317; Modern Woodmen of America, 1,045,S69: Knights of Pythias, 706,922: woodmen of the World, 60O,- 3es; Improved Order of Red Men. 4S0,- 574; Eagles. 3O6,0o0; Knights of the Maccabees, 80O,000; Royal Arcanum, 245,61O; Independent Order ofsForesters, 235,800; etc."

WHEN ''L'AIGLON" WAS BORl
From the Boston Evening Transcript.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
 NN March 20 that most unhappy of princes Napoleon s. son. sYlcces-
 O sively known as King of Rome, Prince of Parma and Duke of Reich stadt, was born. His birth was every where hailed as an event of the first order of importance. It was believed by 99 commentators out of 100 to be the most effectual guarantee of the Bonaparte dy- nasty The clouds that hung over its fu- ture was thought to be dissipated by this new smile of good fortune. A baby's hand strengthened that mighty hand which had so long held the rod of empire; so poets said, and so diplomatists thought. Now a few relics of his childhood and at Vienna and shown to the curious. are the only souvenirs of Napoleon's son.
 On March 20 1911, the visions were all splendid to the Parisians, who counted the discharges of cannon that announced the birth of an imperial child. It had been announced that if Napoleon held daugh- ter in his arms 21 guns would be fired. When the twenty-first report was fol- lowed by the twenty-second the thousands in the streets went wild with joy, for they knew that a son had been born to the sovereign. The cannon ceased firing only at the hundred and first round. There was no electric telegraph to flash the tidings in second to the uttermost parts of the empire, but the semaphore was working and news was at once trans mitted to Strasburg. where a special courier with relays of horses held ready in advance was waiting to start for Vi- enna Major Robelau. noted as horse man and a hustler, had been chosen for

Census Advertising

The last census report, showing the wonderful increase in population of Bir- mingham, has undoubtedly drawn much comment from every section of the coun- try as to the immense natural resources in this dstrict' said Walter s. Ely of New York, who has just reached the city to take charge of the local office of the Barber Asphalt Paving company of Phil adelphia.
 q first saw the account of Birming- hams growth in one of the New York papers, and afterwards I heard the sub ject frequently discussed in conversation The people in the remote parts of the country have not realized heretofore how great the south is in natural wealth. In speaking of Birmingham's increase in population one will be asked frequently what have been the causes for this growth I think there are any number of people who are looking towards this section with the view of making invest ments, who formerly were not aware of the richness with which the Birmingham district had been endowed by nature"

 While Major Robelau was urging horse- flesh to it's utmost speed and endurance, Mime. Blanchard, the aeronaut, was careering through French skies in a bal loon from which she scattered handbills announcing the birth of son and heir to the Emperor. Many a peasant or laborer looking up at the balloon ran 10 catch futtering paper and learned from it that there was new inhapitant of the earth, destined to be Napoleon II, if all went well. All did not go we'll and there is no sadder chapter In history of the vanity of human wishes than that which tells the captive life and early death of the Duke of Reichstadt. Called at his birth, on a prophetic hint from Metternich himself, the King of Rome," the title had become empty. even ridicu- lous when he was years old. Once when walking with his grandfather. the Emperor of Austria, the boy said he re- called people hailing him King of Rome'' and asked what it mean. The grand father dryly answered that it meant just as much as when he was called King of titles associated with the Hapsburg mon- archs.
