THE LlLACS.

"Oh," said the purple lilac, "how nice
1t is to see the world once more"
Il enjoy it too," said the white lilac
bush.
"And / absolutely love it," said the
Persian lilac bush, which is like the
purple family, except that it Is much
more delicate and small and also far
more beautiful and rare.
"Ha, ha," laughed the purple lilac,
as the wind blew the branches and
made the lovely fragrance of the lilac
60 waiting off on the breeze.
"What is it?" asked the white lilac.
Its a joke" said the purple lilac.
'aThen tell it to u.s." begged the Per-
sian lilac.
II just heard one of the early spring
flowers telling another that Jack Frost
had put its family to bed for the win
ter by making them so cold they
couldn't keep awake and their heads
dropped Off"
"Well, I've heard of that" said the
Persian lilac. 81 don't see that that
is so very funny
'Neither do l." said the white lilac.
"Ah. but you didn't hear the rest of
it," said the purple lilac.
That's So. we didn't hear all Of it.
The joke may really be joke after
ALL" said the Persian lilac.
ut would almost be joke on us if
it were," said the white lilac.
pray continue" said the Persian Ii
lac, "and forgive us for interrupting
and not waiting to hear the end of
your story. We might have known
enough to have waited"
1--WE were very rude and silly" said
the white lilac.
They felt they were more beautiful
than the purple lilac and so they didn't
want to be rude or proud or ''stuck up"
II they behaved like that they knew
they wouldn't amount to anything.
Rude and proud creatures and flow
ers and animals were never loved, and
they did so want to be loved.
'4The other spring flower said that
It's family had been planted by bulbs
or roots, and so it didn't know any
thing about Jack Frost" continued the
purple lilac.
: ut didn't even know of him by rep
utation as we do from hearing all the
flowers talking of their family his
tories and what happened in >the
autumn.
"And what do you suppose that lit
tie flower said?'
"What?" asked the Persian lilac and
the white lilac.
"It asked the first spring flower IL
Jack Frost would come around and
touch US, and it said what a pity it
1t would be to see the three lilac BUSH
es frost bitten"
'sWell, that was a joke" said the
Persian lilac and the white lilac, for
they knew the end of the story had
been reached.
'AThe very idea," said the Persian
lilac, "of our ever being bitten or nip
ped by Jack Frost"
IF it's ever happened to any of our
family" said the white lilac, 1--WE new
er known about it."

Avoid Broodina.

1t IS salutary thing to regret past
errors and sincerely resolve not to fall
Into them again, but it is foolish and
moss dangerous thing to brood over
mistakes we have made, sins we have
committed. Brooding cannot possibly
lead to healthy-minded action. Its
tendency, rather is to develop a state
Of nind that may pass over into in
sanity. Yet many people indulge In
this dangerous luxury of brooding. Par
Hcularly is this likely to be the case
with people to whom life has not been
as kind as it might have been.

Aviators Believe That Flying Is Bound

Minds of Men.

Flying, in the opinion of British
aviators, is going to change the char

have q broadening influence and it
will bring fresher, cleaner flow Of
ideas into the brains of men.
A man, the flyers argue, who has
seen before him at the same time the

Holland and the smiling countryside
of Belgium and France is bound to
think in different way than a man
whose horizon has always been bound
eG by bricks and mortar, or even by
hill and dale.
Travelling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make him
think far more largely. He will see
England and France lying close to
each other, separated only by shin
ing strip of water. He will see the
green and brown mosaic Of Belgium,
which in it's turn merges into the dis
tant shadow of Holland, while, still
farther on, across the wide Scheldt
he will see the distant 1owlands sweep
on over the rim of the world.
