grass of the field, will He not much more clothe you, 70 ye of little faith?" M wonder Martin Luther always flower on his writing desk for inspiration. Through the cracks of the prison floor a flower grew up to cheer Picciola. Mungo Park. the great traveller and explorer, had his life saved by flower. He sank down in the desert to die, but seeing a flower near by, it suggested Gods merciful care, and he got up with new courage and travelled on to safety. I said the flowers are the angels of the grass; l add they are the evangels of the sky.
 They are good for the bridal day, the bride must have them on her brow, and she must have them in her hand. The marriage altar is covered with them, they are emblems of love and peace. There has been many an aged widowed soul who preserved that half-blown bridal rose, and on the anniversary day of her wedding she will lift the box, unfold the paper, take one long look, drop a tear and think of him who has passed into the skies.
 With flowers we may honor the dead The worst gash ever made into the side of our earth is that of the grave. It is so deep, it is to cruel, it is so incurable that it needs some thing to cover it up. Flowers for the casket. Flowers for the hearse and flowers for the cemetery. Oh, you say the dead don't know it, but may you not be mistaken? One has said that there are not so many steamers and rail trains coming to any living city as there are conveys coming from heaven to earth. The pillows of blooming flowers on the grave teach us that the sleeping dust be- meath shall come to life again, that it shall bloom and blossom and be adorned with beauty to meet the Lord in the air, and to glorify God around his splendid throne.

CONSIDER THE LILY
By J. \. r.

By J. 4. F.
 The lily is considered the queen of the flowers. The rose may have dis puted for the crown in modern times, and won it, but the rose originally had only five petals. It was under the long continued and intense gaze of the world that the rose blushed into it's present beauty.
 In the Bible train, .cassia and hys- sop and frankincense and myrrh and spikenard and campfire and the rose follow the lily. Fourteen times in the Bible is the lily mentioned, only twice the rose. The rose may now have wider empire, but the lily reigned in the time of Easter, in the time of Solomon, in the time of Christ. Coesar had his thorne on the hills. The lily had her thorne in the valley. In the greatest sermon that was ever preached there was only one flower and that lily.
 The Bedford dreamer, John Bun van, entered the House of the Inter- preter and was shown cluster of flowers and was told to consider the lilies.' take the lily as typical of all flowers, and Easter day, gar landed with all this opulence of floral beauty seems to address us saying, consider the lilies" With deferen- tial and grateful and intelligent and worshipful souls, consider them. The flowers are the angels of the grass, so to speak, they all have voices. When the clouds speak they thunder; when the whirlwinds speak they scream; when the cataracts speak they roar; but when the flowers speak they always whisper. Shall we in terpret their message, and learn what they are good for? In the first place they are good for lessons of Gods providential care That was Christ's first thought. All these flowers seem to address us saying: God will give you apparel and food. Hear them speak, we have no wheel with which to spin, no loom with which to weave, no sickle with which to harvest, no well-sweep with which to draw water; but God slakes our thirst with dew, and God feeds us with the bread of sunshine, and God has clothed us with more beauty than Solomon in all his glory. If God so clothe us the

Multiply that $500 men by the number of tobacco plants where men work the "stuff" up for use, and also by the number of hands it takes to cultivate the million and a half acres of land devoted to the culture of tobacco, and methinks there would be an army that would be well-nigh invincible, were it not that many are weakened by it's use, and Uncle Sam would have to reject them.
 It seems that Arkansas should bristle up at the violation of her States rights of which we hear so much when some things are under consideration. She has a cigarette law that is being grossly violated, and yet the excuse is "it is the government" The opinion has always pre- vailed that the state could pass no law in violation of the Fed eral law, and vice versa. It seems that our boned ry law and our anti-cigarette law have gone to the ''bow-wows," but to the enrichment of the bootlegg- CT and the American Tobacco Company.
 Some day we will learn bet ter. Hasten the day.

How does that sound in the face of the numerous complaints of a shortage of cars and coal and men to handle and convey the necessities of life, not to say anything of the poison contained in that vast quantity of "coffin nails ?"
 In St. Louis the other day at Liggett and Meyers tobacco plant, $500 men went on a strike. That was one plant.

LAUGH

A laugh is just like sunshine, It freshens all the day; It tips the peak of life with light, And drives the clouds away; And the soul grows glad that hears it And feels its courage strong; A laugh is just like sunshine, For cheering folks along. A laugh is just like music, It fingers in the heart; And where it's melody is heard The ills of life depart; And happy thoughts come crowding, Its joyful notes to greet; A laugh is just like music, For making living sweet.

LETs HAVE NO MORE PATCHWORK.

wv DO not think that any member OF the New Cas-
w tie County Levy Court will assert for an instant
that the Philadelphia turnpike ON the northern bound
airy Of our city 10 the Pennsyhana Stale line is what
1t ought TO be IN point Of paving It is full OF holes and
other Inequalities of surface which make riding upon It
daily discomfort that should be done away with as
quickly the condition Of he county treasury will per-
NIT.
in considering the future improvement Of that high
way three important facts should be kept in mind They
are:
Flrst-That II is the main highway between this CITY
md Chester and Philadelphia
SecondThat leaving pleasure out OF considera-
ton altogether, there pass over daily, In both
directions many heavy trucks.
ThirdThat II the road ever is TO amount 10 anything
a safe and pleasant avenue Of traffic 1t must be paved
so that 1t not only will accommodate all classes Of
traffic. but also Withstand the wear and tear and slam
and bang of the trucks which are increasing both in
numbers and weight
Putting a pleasure-car foundation and surface on
truck-used road is waste Of money that is almost
criminal in view Of presen-day technical knowledge.
The sensible thing 10 do In the present emergency Is
to ngure out 10 scientific nicely the sort OF a founda-
ton and the sort Of surface needed to stand
up under present and future trac and 10 rebuild the
road accordingly without regard for the camorous and
interested cries Of disappointed road material sellers
whose stock in trade is rejected.
Pa.chwork has followed patchwork the turnpike
until II has the appearance of crazy quilt the un-
dulang qualities OF a crudely constructed corduroy road
There should be further waste of money upon it,
The next step taken with regard to should be TO
rebuild IL that with reasonable patrol and main
tenance II will stand up, for many TO come, under
the twentieth century stresses that to be put
upon il.
The matter is practical and not sentimental one.
Weeping and waing and gnashlng of teeth won't repaye
a foot Of the distance. Good money good plans good
materials, good supervision and good Workmanship are
the things needed to make the road what ought to be
