The Petticoat.

LoSt-a Silken petticoat,
Or maybe it was lawn,
With ribbon running through the f1ounce
AS rosy as the dawn,
A darling, dainty petticoat.
A fluff and frosty lace,
With dear, delicious satin bows
To keep the frills in place.
Lost-Louisa's petticoat
That rippled round her feet
And gave tantalizing glimpse
OF slender ankles neat
And flashing buckles on the toes
OF slippers trim and small,
For since the narrow skirts came in
She wears it not at all

Won Their Pardons.

From the time of the story Of Damon
and Pythias various reasons for tenn
porary release from Jail have been CIV
en-. 1t is related that in the Napoleon
ic era a soldier confined in a military
prison for minor offense against the
service during a brief time Of peace
was released in order that he might
be present at the christening of bis In
FAINT son, born during his imprison-
ment. But Napoleon, in order to test
the intensity Of the man's,desire, made
him agree to serve a year longer for
the privilege Of three day furlough.
The soldier gladly did it and when
he returned found pardon and cor
poral's warrant for his infant son, to
be valid when the son had served
with credit six months in the emper-
or's army of the future" Frederick
the Great released an audacious cap
tain under sentence of death so that
the captain might tell him a few
beneficial things about himself" The
things told face to face Influenced the
great king to pardon the blunt death
defying soldier.-New York Sun

League. Captain Hood, a member of the
Navy General Board, advocated an ac~celera-
ton of the present building programme,
which aims at an eventual establishment of
20 ships of the first line and 20 of the Sc
cOrd line, and which, if adhered to, would
by 1920 have produced 33 battleships, in
Gliding 1G Dreadnoughts. The General
Board wants a programme which by 1925
would give 48 tirst line ships, the minimum
feet which it thinks the United States can
afford to maintain. Today" said Captain
Hood, ''we have a feet too small and heter-
ogeneons to meet the ends which Justify its
maintenance, too large to be carried as q
burden for a plaything."
April Ii.
The annual meeting of the American Navy
League closed under auspices which cannot
be regarded as entirely happy. At a ban
qaet on Friday night Mr.. Bryan made it
fairly clear that he was adverse to the in
creased programme of the General Board.
Turning to the Secretary of the Navy, he
said:-

but [ may take my endorsement back if he
Should happen to want too many battIeships

ships | shall work hard for the next four
years to keep you from needing more.

THE LATE MIR. PIERpoNr MORGAN.
Funeral Service In New York.
New York. April Il.

New York, April IA.
The funeral service for Mr.. Morgan was
held this morning at ST. Georges Protestant
Episcopal Church, where Mr.. Morgan was 81
devoted attendant for many years. The cere-
mony was most impressive, but IN complI-
ance with Mr.. Morgan's expressed wishes
was devoid Of any pomp or display. Great
crowds of people Of every class filled the
streets to view the funeral procession. The
body was taken from the Morgan Library to
the church about $50; the coffin was COM
pIetely covered with small red roses-Mr.
Morgan's favourite flower. Only the imme-
diate relatives ard q few intimate friends
accompanied the body to the church. Thou
sands of applications had been made for
seats in the church, and the building was
filled by men representative of finance, in
dustry, art, science, education, and philan-
thropy. Deputations were present from
scores Of business, historical, und scientific
institutions, one of the largest bodies re-
presenting the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The Rector, Mr.. Reiland, assisted by Bish-
ops Greer, Brewster, and Lawrence CON
Quoted the service, which lasted about three
quarters of an hour At the request of the
family no flowers were sent to the church
before the funeral, but hundreds of floral
tributes were placed in the Library by indi-
viduals, societies, and Governments. Mr..
Bryce sent a garland Of violets and lilies-of-the
valley, and wreaths were received from the
Governments of France, Germany, and italy.
Most of the flowers will be distributed to the
hospitals. A special train took the body to
Hartford, Connecticut, for the private inter
ment in Cedar Hill Cemetery.-Ibjd.

NINE. PAVLOVA AGAIN.

London's principal and peerless idol, Anna
Paylova, came back on Monday night. She
dances; and her audience-it Is no figure of
speech-is thrilled. 1t is very remarkable;
you hear q perceptible sigh tremble through
the theatre one minute, and, another, people
interrupt irressistibly with q soft round of
applause. AS for the applause in due place
it is a tempest. At the Palace Theatre on
Monday night Nine. Pavlova was bowling to
The applause as long as she was dancing,
A novelty was a ballet arranged to Liszt's
noble symphonic poem called "Preludes" (after
Lamartine), the burden of whose meaning IS
that life is but a series Of preludes "to that
unknown hymn, whose first and solemn note
is intoned by Death."-lbjd.

PRESERVATION OF PEACE AMONG LIE POWERS.
After presiding on Wednesday afternoon
over the Conference of Ambassadors at the
Foreign Office, the Prime Minister attended
in the evening an international gathering
not less powerful-the Foreign Press Asso-
cations banquet at the Hotel Cecil.
Mr.. Asquith, in his speech, said he had
his own opinions on the Press, which it was
not convenient to dlvulge at this moment.
When the hour arrived-"perhaps," he
added significantly, cit may not be very
distant"-when be resumed a position of
greater freedom and less responsibility, he
might reveal his thoughts.
He referred to the influence of the Press
as an international factor. cit could, as
they knew, breed bad blood between ma
tons; it could also SOW and water the seeds
Of reciprocal amity and goodwill.
"Powers so large and 50 far-reaching,
which, according as they were wisely or
recklessly used, made q difference between
friendship and emnity, between peace and
war, carried with them proportionate respon-
sibillties to inform and instruct and guide
the public opinion of the world.
'Shallow and impatient critics were impa-
tient enough to jlOe at what they considered
to be the European Concert. Blu the re-
suit that was in view was slowly but surely
being achieved"
The Great Powers, more than one of
whom were actually and directly interested
in the upheaval Of the cid regime in the East,
had worked and 50 far worked successfully,
for an honorable peace among themselves.
"There is no body of men," concluded
the Premier, "who can do more than they
of the Press either to create or to develop
the atmosphere in which the plant Of inter
national goodwill can alone thrive and
fower."-I6id.

The E%lmsgarth took the advice, but the

ter pace and was lost in the darkness. The

and is long overdue.-Ibid

HOME RULE IN NEW YORK STATE.

New York, April II.
Governor Sulzer signed last night a Bill
giving all the cities of New York State gen
home rule. The new law gives each
city full authority to carry out ali the func-
tions Of local self-government, and relieves
the cities from further interference by the
State Legislature at Albany, except in struc-
tural changes relating to city government. 1t
also renders unnecessary Eenceforth the pas
sage by the Legislature of many special Bills,
which annually clog the Legislative calendar.

county of Derbyshire from the United
States, fell into a trance about a month ago
while staying at Chinley.
At the end of a week he awoke and start
ed to go to Blackwell. When he reached

roadside. He was taken to hospital, and
being still asleep at the end OF three days
was removed to Chapelen-le-Frith, where
he has just recovered.
A doctor stated on Monday: 81 have sub
mitted the man to all kinds Of tests, includ-
ing the application Of an electric battery.
There was no indication that it was any
thing but q case of catalepsy. The man has
a number of typewriter documents from
doctors in the United States and London,
showing that apparently he has been subject
to similar attacks for some years.'-Djd.

eminent statistics that the nine
Southern States east of the Miss

crop of corn aggregating sos, 1885,
900 bushels, worth approximately
$317, 100000 at the price received
by the farmers in that section. The
1912 crop shows an increase of
1852, $40, 1868 bushels compared with

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY.

Just stand aside and watch yourself go
by;
Think of yourself as che" instead of

Note closely, as in other men you note,
The bag-kneed trousers and the seedy
coat.
Pick flaws, find fault, forget the man is
you;
Comfort Yourself. and look yourself in
the eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself go
by.
Interpret all your motives just as though
You looked on one whose aims you did
not know.
Let undiguised contempt surge through
you when
You see you shirk, oh, commonest of
men
Despite your cowardice, con d m n
what'er
You note of falsehood in you anywhere,
Defend not one defect that shames your
eye
Just stand aside and watch yourself 60
by.
And then, with eyes unveiled to what
you loathe-
To sins that with sweet charity you'd
clothe-
Back to your self-walled tenements you'll
90
With tolerance for all who dwell below.
The faults of others then will dwarf and
shrink,
Loves chain grow stronger by one
mighty link
When you, with "he" as substitute for
81"
Have stood and watched yourself go by.
