citron trees were hung with bright fruits Great
blue stars of convolvulus decorated the hedge
rows and twined over the porches Of the little
French homesteads. Overhead, the sky was OF
cloudless sapphire and the mountains were
sharply etched against it. 1t was only when I
passed the wide vineyards, empty except for the
stunted brown stems, that l could realize it was
December. Beyond Constantine, upon the high
plateaus that make weldefned ridge between
the green and fertile strip of the plains and the
endless waste of desert to the south, an arid
rocky land presents itself. Scant and grudging
is the pasturage offered to the focks that move
ceaselessly across the hills Thin and meager are
the crops grown upon that land so patiently
plowed. Here and there a chott or salt lake
clear as crystal, cleaned like shield of polished
steel rejecting every detail of the mountains with
faithful exactitude. Here too, may be seen tie
green scrublike growth Of the alta grass, SO much
exported to England, where it is used in the pro-
duction of highly glazed paper. So far it has re-

our dear husband aud father Alexandria
@. Montgomery who departed this life
February "A, 1914
Bright be the place OF thy soul,
No lovlier spirit than thine,
Ever burst from its mortal control
In the orbs Of the blessed to shine
On earth thou vert almost devine,
As thy soul shall Immortality be
And our sorrow may cease to repine.
When we know God is with thee.
Bright be the turf Of thy tomb,
May its virtue like emsralds be.
There should not be the shadow OF
gloom,
In aught that reminds US of thee.
Young flowers and an evergreen tree
May spring from the spot Of thy rest,
But nor cypress or yew let us see,
For why should we mourn for the
Blessed.
