THE FIRST EASTER DAY.


Never so sweet hush
In all Judean nights,
Never so fair a sun
Rose DER Judean heights.
Never so lowering close
Did all of heaven lean,
As when approached the tomb
The weeping Magdalene.
What marvel greets her eyes.
Too tear bedimmed are they!
Behold no portal barred
The stone is rolled away,
Vacant the sheltering depth
Where he was laid to rest;
Vacant the narrow space
Whereon his body prest.
Only the cerementS white
Where he. the Son. had lain;
Only at head and foot
The guardian angels twain
The guarding angels twain.
OF gentle mien and grave.
To speak of word fulfilled
OF him who died 10 save.
How spread the mighty truth!
How all the earth OWNED.
What glorious promise kept
The Saviour of mankind!
And so the world is glad
And men. rejoicing. pray,
As did his servants when
Came the first Faster day.

Cornstalk Disease.

A serious cOrnstalk disease that has
reduced the crop on some farms in
Iowa this season is under inyestiga-
ton by the botanical section of the
Iowa agricultural experiment station.
DR.. L. ii. Pammel, who is in charge
OF the investigations, says that in
some fields the damage amounts to 10
per cent or more, due to fallen or bar
rem stalks or undeveloped ears.
"This disease says DR.. Pammel,
"may be recognized quite readily by
fallen stalks, which look as though
they had been blown over. However,
there is this difference: The diseased
stalks break at the nodes" A fungous
parasite is responsible for the trouble.
Where it attacks the stalk there Is a
brownish and sometimes pinkish dis
celebration of the fibers, and a little
mold may also be found on the out
side at the base of the leaf sheath.
The roots are decayed and have pink
fish color. Such diseased stalks are Of
ten barren or have ears that are rudi.
mentary. Sometimes the stalk may
remain standing where the disease Is
not severe.

Rev. j. w. Chapman Gives Address

At the regular Friday evening SER
vice in the church of the Good Shepherd
November q, an interesting missionary
address was given by Rev. John w.
Chapman of Anvik, Alaska, who is pas
sing several weeks at his home in Mid
dlebury. He was assisted in the service
by the rector, Rev. w. j. M. Beattie.
Rev. Mr.. Chapman confined himself al
most entirely to the work of the mis-
sionaries under Bishop Rowe. Some Of
the hardships which the workers en-
counter We're wildly portrayed by the
speaker, but his remarks were not con-
cerned solely with that phase of mis-
sionary effort in the north. He told
something of the vast resources of
Alaska and of the plans for their de-
velopment which the government is
considering. Rev. Mr. Chapman re-
turned Saturday morning to Middlebury,
after having been guest while in the
city of Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Rowland of
French street Barre Times.

loaded down with twelve persons, COL
lided with heavy touring car at Court
and Washington streets yesterday
afternoon, and as result two of the
twelve who were in the first named
machine were taken to the Relief Hos
pital to have cuts treated. Also, al
most every window in the little ma
chine was demolished, the windshield
suffered a like fate, both headlights
were gone. One of them jammed into
the radiator. A mudguard was twisted
into any thing but its proper shape, and
the front wheels and axle We're badly
sprung.
The small car was conveying William
Hyman of East Boston and his eleven
guests to Dorchester house they in
tended visiting. The party found it
necessary to continue the trip in a car
with plenty of room for all, car that
was one of string of five. Few people
saw the accident, and those few found
it impossible to explain just how twelve
managed to get into a machine origi-
nally constructed to seat four full-grown
people. Boston Herald.
