A Poets Tomb.

Under my eyes" wrote Mistral In
his vein of antique tolerance, Il see
the Enclosure and the white dome Of
where. like the snails, shall lie hid
in the gentle shade. Supreme effort
of our pride to escape voracious time!
This forbids not that yesterday or
today quickly is changed into long
forgetfulness. And when people ask
of John o. Figs, of John the gathered.
What Is this dome? they will reply:
That's the tomb OF the poet-a poet
who made songs for beautiful Pro-
vencal maid called Mireille. They are
like mosquitoes in the Camargue. scat
tered far and wide. But he lived in
Maillane, and the old men Of the coun-
tryside have seen him walking in our
paths And then one day they will
say: It's he whom they had chosen
king of Provence. But his name lives
no more save in the song of the brown
crlckets.' At last at the end of their
knowledge, they will say: TITS the
tomb of magician, for of a 16-rayed
star the monument wears the image"

DEN MARK.

lie Temps, the semiofficial organ OF
the French government. recently con-
tanned prominent editorial In which
the Zahle cabinet was severely criti-
cized on account of its foreign policy
during the war. The Danish govern
ment Is said to be distinctly pro-Ger-
man, though 1t is working for the neu-
trality of the country. It is further
claimed that powerful party is being
built up In Denmark In opposition to
the government on account of its for
eign policy. The Danish Nationalti-
dende, though 1t is opposed to the
present ministry, points out that the
French paper is mistaken as to the
main question. With regard to the
foreign policy of the ministry, says
the paper. there is absolutely no an
tagonism between the Danish govern
ment and the Danish people.
Lieutenant Laud. the aviator Of the
Danish navy, established new Scan
dinavian hydroaeroplane record by ris-
ing to a height Of about 5000 feet with
his "Maagen l." This is even said to
be worlds record for hydroaero-
planes.
Two and half tons of lard put up
in 400-pound casks disappeared from
warehouse in Copenhagen. Nobody
can explain the disappearance Of the
lard. Even the police think 1t would
be impossible to carry away 400-pound
barrel without being detected. 1t is
evident that those policemen are not
quite up to date. They ought to be in
formed that it is no trick for a man
who knows his business to lug away
even such objects as pianos and huge
fireproof bank safes without being
caught. All that the policeman needs
to do is to look the other way. :
For two years past the Danes have
been fighting the flies. but the work
has been sort of desultory. Now they
have made preparations for a regular
war all over the country. Fortunately
the Danes do not need to waste much
time making experiments, for they
borrow the modus operandi from the
Americans. Their great authority is
said to be "a professor from the Uni
versity of Cleveland" But in fact
his Danish pupils seem to go him one
better in thoroughness. In every
railway station may be seen large
posters explaining the vices of the fly
and giving practical hints with regard
to the determination of the pest.
