former should flock forth in their gayest
garb, the latter to gather poisoning
branches from the woods and set up leafy
bower for the "May Queen" the girl Sc
lected by the popular vote of her admir-
ing friends and acquaintance. This Gus
tom prevailed chiefly in England; in the
United States, the custom of hanging bas-
kets of May flowers on the door knobs of
some extent, among children. Like the
valentine, the May basket is delivered
secretly, for the recipient of the gift must
never, never guess the giver.
Recently the Maypole festivals have
been revived in many schools, an attempt
being made to reproduce as far as posi-
BILE, the music and steps, as well as the
costumes of the dancers of early time.
In 1868, General John A. Logan, COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, designated May 80, as the
day on which the graves of the dead
Union soldiers should be decorated with
flags and flowers as a mark of honor and
respect for their service to their country
in the War of Secession. The celebration
of the day, known as Decoration Day"
or Memorial Day." which has since been
extended to include the honored dead of
the Spanish-American War, sprang from
a custom of the grief-stricken women of
the South-the strewing of wild flowers
on the graves of their soldier dead on a
certain day in the spring of each year.

A SMALLER MIRROR

THE MIRROR has returned to its original
size with this issue. There is an acute

present and to assist in a small way the
new size is adopted. This will reduce

a shortage. Raising the price of, sub
:scripticn does not help the paper situation,
so we hope our many subscribers will de-
clare us patriotic and not feel that we are
"gouging" by giving what might appear
half as much for the money, for in fact
you are receiving the same in words if
not in paper, through the use of smaller
type, and it is the words we sell anyway
and not the paper the words appear upon.

MAY

When April steps aside for May,
Like diamonds all the rain-drops glisten;
Fresh violets open every day;
To some new bird each hour we listen.
May is usually one of the most beautiful
months of the year, an interval between
the: cold and storms of winter, and the ex-
tfeme heat of the summer. 1t was origi-
nally the third month but when the Ro-
mans added January and February to the
beginning of the year, it took its present
place as fifth. Many authorities agree
that the month was named for Maia, the
goddess of Spring, and quite as many de-
clare that "May" is but shortened form
for "Majores," and that the period was so
called because it was sacred to the older
men, as June was sacred to the youths.
1t is pity that the quaint and beauti-
full May-Day customs of past generations
should die out. Time was, when on the
eve of every first of May, the Maypole
was erected on the village green, and all
the fair maids and gallant SWANS waited
eagerly for that day to dawn when the

he had determined that his House and
Family should hereafter be known as the
House and Family of Windsor. Previous
to this decision the Ruling House or dy-
nasty was the House of Saxe-Coburg.
Queen Victoria, of the House of Hanover,
having married German Prince whose
family name was Victim, was some
times referred to humorously as "Mrs.
Victim" Harpers Book of Facts gives
the family name of the British kings as
Guelf. ~ Queen Mary was born at
Kensington palace, London. Her mother
was Princess Mary, granddaughter of
George III of England. Her father was
the Duke of Teck. Her nationality is
English. 81 The House of Oldenburg
was the royal family of Denmark for four
hundred years but the present King, not
being of the direct line, is said to be of
the House of Schleswig- Holstein- Sonner-
burg Glucksburg, but what he is called

FAMOUS MAY BIRTHDAYS
"A Lady with a lamp shall stand
In the great history of the land,
A noble type of good,
Heroic womanhood."

"A hoOiS WV VI Sooo,
Heroic womanhood."
So wrote the poet, Henry w. Longfel-
low, of Florence Nightingale, an English
philanthropist, who became the most fam
GUS nurse in the world. She was born at
Florence, Italy, May IS, 1920. In 1854
tales of the suffering of British soldiers in
the Crimean War reached England and
she offered her services as nurse. After
her arrival on the field, with remarkable
efficiency and resources she reduced the
death rate from forty-two to two per cent,
but her unceasing work ruined her own
health, which she never regained. Probab-
ly no other woman in the history of the
world equaled her in the alienation of
suffering and distress.
Jacob A. Riis, who has been called
"America's most useful citizen" was born
at Ribe, Denmark, May 8, 1S49. At the
age of twenty-one he emigrated to Ameri-
ca, and worked at various trades, from
coal mining to peddling, during which
time he suffered the keenest poverty. In
1877 he became reporter for the New
York "Tribune" and later for the terri
BILE conditions of the poor in tenement
districts. Riis was one of the leaders in
the movements for tenement reforms, for
securing purity in the city water supply
and for establishing well-equipped play
grounds for poor children. He died May
26, 1914, at his summer home, Barre,
Mass.-Selected.

milton of our mothers, day that shall
have its reflex in kindly deeds and
thoughts throughout the year?
"God thought to give the sweetest thing
In His almighty power
To earth; and deeply bordering
What it should be, one hour,
In fondest joy and love of heart
Outweighing every other,
He moved the gates of heaven apart
And gave to earth-a mother"
An old Jewish proverb says, "God
could not be everywhere; so He made
mothers" And in the realm of Hebrew
literature, there is abundant evidence to
show that the Hebrews considered mother
hood "a partnership with God" For in
the very beginning, when Eve was
brought unto Adam, he became filled with
the Holy Spirit, and gave her the most
sactihed, the most glorious of appella-
tons. He called her Eva, that is to say,
the mother of all. He did not style her
wife, but simply mother,-mother of all
living creatures" for he realized that
motherhood is the browning glory of
woman.
Passing down through the years, we
think of the mother of Washington, who,
while she encouraged her sons hatred for
wrong and enthusiastic love of the true
and the good, held in check his bold and
impetuous nature, little realizing what
destiny hung on her instruction as she
taught George at her knee. She too
reaped the fruit of her labors when
Washington, conqueror and hero leaned
his head on her aged shoulder, and wept
his farewell as he went to guide the ship
of state. And there was the mother of
Ruskin, to whom he paid this tribute:
"My mothers influence in molding my
character was conspicuous. She forced me
to learn daily long chapters of the Bible
by heart. To that discipline and patient,
accurate resolve, owe not only much of
my general power of taking pains, but
the best part of my taste for literature"
To Nancy Lincoln, who found time in the
stress of frontier life to teach her children
to read and write and to love the Bible,
the martyr-president paid the highest
praise: Gail that am or hope to be,
owe to my angel mother"
Although we prize the excellence of
these mothers of great men, perhaps the
worth of none of them appeals to us so
strongly as that of the mothers whom we
really know. Never forget, as Kate
Douglas Wiggin says, that "most of all
the other beautiful things in life come by
twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds!
Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows,
brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins,
but only one mother in all the wide
world."-Charles Elliott Weniger.
