SPRINGS MESSAGE.
(The Mystic Worker.l

The gray winter Of the north is
passing. The path of the bleak
season is strewn with all that is
ugly and discouraging. The roads
and walks are dismally unsightly.
Piles OF rubbish, everywhere, pro-
trude upon the view in all their
nakedneSs. Even the front-yard
lawn. once green and velvety, after
the ravages of frost and snow and
water looks gray in it's detection.
The scenery everywhere is typical
of a wasted life. But soon the warm
sun and springs breezes will kiss the
earth, and all this bleakneSs and
ugliness will be gone. Natures
green mantle will spread over the
ground. covering almost every inch
of its naked unsightliness. The
trees will be filled with leaves, and
then will come the birds to sing and
the blossoms to perfume the air.
The dismal earth will be filled with
life, song and beauty again. Our
Paradise will be renewed.
Cannot every dismal, ugly, wasted
life have a springtime, when 1t may
start all over again? If trees. a
year older can dress up and be new
again, may not a man? Why may
not human being with a wintry
past resolve on a spring. followed
with a forever summer, and with
never another winter?
The message OF spring is HOPE.

''The alligators in the swamp were
very shy. In making our way to-
ward the pools, it was necessary to
go with the utmost care, in order to
avoid stepping upon brittle twigs or
rustling the leaves of bushes. Their
sight is so keen that it was neces~
sary to use bushes and tree trunks
as screens. Coming in this way to
a bayou we observed an alligator
about eleven feet long sprawling on
the bank, with fore and hind feet
stretched in abandon. The mouth
was open, and the eyes appeared to
be shut Near by were about a
dozen small specimens, ranging in
length from two to four feet. We
had consumed about twenty minutes
in our stealthy progress to the pool
over the last 100 feet, and we crouch
ed behind an enormous cypress
trunk smothered in vines. One OF
the party, sinking in the ooze, threw
out an arm to save himself. On the
instant it seemed that every alliga-
tor in the bayou had received an
electric shock. The big specimen
went into the water with a crash
sending up a geyser of muddy spray

English i'm Prescriptions.

Shall the sick go on paying fol
Latin on the prescription label? DR.
Bernard Fantus, professor Of phar'
machology at the University of Llli'
nois, thinks not. He has started g
campaign to compel the use of. Eng
lish in preparation of prescriptions
instead of Latin heretofore in use.
Latin names have sold common
drugs at fancy prices to the public
for many years, according to physi'
clans, druggists and surgeons who
have expressed themselves in favor
of the English prescription. The
leaders of the reform movement have
met opposition among drug manu-
facturers, druggists and surgeons
who are members of strong clubs.
They say the use of Latin has been
universal almost from the beginning
and that any change in the United
States would reflect on the foreign
er's impression of this country and
tend to tempt householders to pre-
scribe for themselves.
DR.. Fantus sent copy of his pa
per, which appeared in the Journal
of the American Medical association,
to the deans of number of medical
schools and the responses showed a
big majority to favor the use of Eng
lish prescriptions Herald.

From a City's Mountain Tops.

Upon the top of one of New York S
man-made mountains there is the
same peaceful quiet as on any noun
tain top. No sound from the street
below comes up this distance. Men
on the sidewalks are infnitesimai
dots, darting hither and yon. Look
ing down upon them, one is inclined
to reflect what puny beings humans
are, and often from this lofty point
of view almost forgets his sympathy
for their personal interests. Then
comes the realization that this noun
tain was built by these puny beings
from materials dug out of the earth
in a crude state, purified, shaped and
fastened together in a manner that
will make stand practically for all
time, and then a feeling of reverence
for the human brain-that God-given
boon which has made these things
possible.-Geographic Magazine.

THE HUDSON RIVER.
What Europe Would Do With Amer
ica.

You can imagine what the Euro
peans would do with the Hudson if
they had it, says Senieon Strunskky
in Harper's- 's-the Dickenses, the HUI
COS, who have wound and curled the
murky streams of Thames and Seine
through the life of their capitals,
making the river a force, an agent,
a mirror, a commentator upon the
life of it's banks. The rivers Of Eu-
rope are the Greek choruses to the
drama of the cities-London Bridge
and Pont Neuf. Hardly a hero of
Partisan fiction crosses the Pont
Neuf without making it his confldant.
Yet what is the tiny current Of the
Seine to the mighty sweep of tho
Hudson? What are the lights on
the bridges of Paris to the thousands
of lights of mystery that swing along
the base of the Palisades north and
south-lights of heavy, squat barges
lost in the shadows; lights on trim,
white enamel; and the sudden up
flare of huge spouts of flame from
the furnaces and gas houses on the
western bank? 1t is only question
of finding our Dickens, Wordsworth,
or Hugo, before the electric blaze of
the great real estate advertising
frames on top of the Palisades is
coined into legend and story.

The rush of the smaller reptiles was
practically simultaneous, and it was
followed by the appearance Of many
infant alligators that had been prowl-
ing among the cypress knees. They
came from all directions, running
like chicks, seeking the protecting
| water.
Caught With Hook.
Our experience in a number OF
| bayous were quite similar. During
one of the excursions we noted an
alligator diving into water-hole not
more than six feet in diameter. When
we sounded this hole we found it to
be five feet deep, with an underwater
tunnel running off at a sharp vertical
slope to a distance of twelve feet.
Our collecting wagon was not over
mile away, and we returned there
for steel alligator hook, an axe and
coil of rope.
"A slender young cypress was cut
and the hook attached to it. A half
hours manoeuvring enabled us to
hook the reptile that was located in
that underground retreat. 1t remain
ed motionless' until the hook was
firmly caught, then so furiously did
it struggle that to drag it out was
a herculean task. The hook had
penetrated forefoot, and we
brought the animal to the surface
for view of it's size and to deter
mine upon methods for it's subjuga-
ton.
"A moose was made, the creature
was again hauled out, when the rope
was slipped over it's jaws, loop
thrown around and behind it's fore
feet and thence over the jaws again.
Then we tied the reptile to cypress
tree and made ready to bind him
more securely. The struggles of the
alligator were fast and vigorous. We
worked on platform of bark hastily
torn from a decaying tree, and which
prevented our sinking to our knees
in the swamp. Between showers of
mud thrown by the alligator's tail
we looped the creatures paws in
way to form a rope muzzle, with
about ten feet attached for pulling.
eve hauled him to full quarter
mile out of the thicker part of the
swamp, thence led the wagon tor
tuous route between the trees to
meet the captive. Lifting the animal
to the wagon we bound him to the
floor upon paddings of Spanish moss,
then drove ten miles over corduroy
roads to the pinelands and our COL
lecting base.
eve had rented house as ou1
camp and having no cage for the al
ligator were in doubt what to do
with him until morning, when ship
ping crate could be built. Our trou-
blesome specimen was eight feet
long and about 200 pounds in
weight. Threatening to destroy the
wagon and kissing furiously he
caused us some anxiety until the idea
occurred of locking him in our best
bed room. With much prudence we
moved out furniture and baggage be-
fore the alligator went in. His ini-
tial struggles with his new surround
ings shook the house and blow of
his head loosened the door fasten-
ings. But in the end the room held
him and the next morning crate
was built for his shipment north. -

A Free Seat.

He was old and poor and a stranger
In the great metropolis,
As he bent his steps thitherward
To a stately edifice.
Outside he inquiries: what churcn
is this?"
"Church of Christ" he hears them
say;
"Ah, just the place am looking for,
trust He is here today"
He passed through the spacious
columns,
And up the carpeted aisle,
And as he passed on many face
He saw surprise and smile.
From pew to pew up one entire side
Then across the broad front space;
From pew to pew down the other side
He walked with the same slow
pace.
Not a friendly voice had bid him sit
To listen to gospel truth;
Not a sign of Difference had been paid
To the aged one by youth,
No door was opened by generous
hand,
The pews were paid for-rented.
And he was a stranger, old and poor,
Not a heart to him relented.
As he paused a moment outside to
{: think,
Then passed into the street,
Up to his shoulder he lifted a stone
That lay in the dust at his feet,
And bore it up to the broad grand
aisle,
In front of the ranks of pews:
Choosing a place to see and hear,
He made seat for his use.
Calmly sitting upon the huge stone,
Folding his hands on his knees,
Slowly reviewing the worshippers,
A great confusion he sees,
Many a cheek is crimsoned with
shame,
Some whisper together sore
And wished they had been more
courteous
To the stranger, old and poor.
AS if by magic some fifty doors
Open instantaneously
And as many seats and books and
hands
Are proffered hastily,
Changing his stone for. crimsoned
$ pew,
80 And wiping tear away,
He thinks it was mistake after all
And that Christ came late that
day. .
The preachers discourse was elo-
quent,
The organ in finest tone,
But the most impressive sermon
heard
Was preached by an humble stone,
aTwas lesson of lowliness and
worth
That lodged in many a heart,
And the church reserves that sacred
stone
That the truth may not depart.
