It was a rather long ferry, and the boat forged steadily onward against the tide. On the forward deck close to the chain stood a lady In deepest mourning, carrying in her hands a splendid sheaf of American Beauty roses. Their glorious color and sweet perfume, their long stems reaching | nearly to the hem of her dress, and | their lavish number made her a con-| spicuous object to her fellow passen- gers. “My! they must have cost a fortune!” exclaimed a thinly clad young girl who stood a little distance off, admiring the magnificent bloom, and secretly wishing that she had | only one such rose to carry with her to the bedside of a sick mother The hopeless dejection in the lady's face touched all who saw her with swift sympathy, for she looked as if she | had lost everything cared for, and as if she could never be com- | forted again. The contrast between | her pallid countenance and the perb in her arms not | more marked than that between her and a workingman who stood a little | way off in a thread- | bare garments, wearing something of the same look of absorption that was | evident of the lady. i He, too, had his tribute of flowers, | beautiful Bermuda lilies that he car-| ried in a tin pail filled with | water, Yet man’s was that | of one passed | through on its | other side, having gained the victory through faith, was that of one who as vet no stars shining through presses The wind 1 though it before E wrap a littl boat was ap man lifting ; me, madam, for we are same the cemetery, with our flowers were brought 16 VA 1 am te have cost much know the anin and I hope we bot of the flowers: is life beyond, them, and by.” The lady ghe su- | flowers Was shabby, almost in the brooding face large the look had somehow and come ont who SOrrow while the woman's | had seen | her view fresh and chill, al. was an April ister day, and just | lady er and shi ng the dock lady's sald gently, intruding, but The drew her!

Har- old's mother had lingered long, but shé was going at last, and the express company were taking to the station her trunks and boxes. Stepping out to pay the expressman who had placed her trunks in the wagon, she was struck by something familiar, and suddenly recalled her friend of Passion week. She took his hand and looked into his eyes, her own fill- ing with tears, not wholly sorrowful. “Oh, I am glad to see you!’ she sald. “You opened the door for me, al- though you did not know it, into a new world, a world of courage and of good cheer.

Various Colors For Dyeing Theme How the Dyeing is Done, sto a to put in a good part of this week ip dyeltig eggs for Easter, The best preparations for staining the white shells of the eggs are logwood and Pernambuco wood steeped in belling water. These give very pretty shades separately, and mixed together give a very pretty shade of violet, BSpin- ach water gives to the eggs a delicate shade of green, while onion juice water gives a golden yellow color. After the eggs are dipped In these preparations and rubbed hard with some lard and butterand then rubbed with a soft cloth they will develop a highly polished surface. Variegated hues may be obtained by laying young and tender grasses and leaves on the surface of the eggs and holding them in place by winding strips of cotton around them and then boiling them in water in which ljogwood and Pernambuco wood have been steeped. It is very easy to apply initials and monograms by using a hard pen dipped in aqua fortis just before they are treated to their color bath, There are any number of preparations to be bought at the drug stores which make very pretty effects Books and cards coming more and more into favor As Easter post are fusion of rabbits made up of all kinds of things, including candy —— Carrying the News to Mars. spread indeed When the news was first i8t Was risen dead, great eaven; CARIry y i g ——————— ———— "ASTER IN JERUSALEM. ony of the Divine Fire at the Holy Sepulchre. ¢ the Suddenly out con of window the wall shoot flames of fire and every of the thousands duced a and to light it at the mystic fire The light thus taken from the Holy Sepulchre is instantly all the Christian villages round about Jerusalem, an fleet footed young men with one another in being first to light their local shrines with the divine flame A writer in the Travel Magazine records having seen two rival runners down their candles and in a sanguinary battle with and sticks until the light of one of them is put out.

One winter evening when Tom, & country boy, well clad in homespun, was riding home from the postoffice on his pet horse, Major, he saw an old man limping along by the road side. As he drew nearer he noticed that the old man's foot was bleeding and every time he lifted his foot his face showed the great pain he was suffering. Tom, who had always been taught to be kind to the aged, was touched with pity and jumped off his horse and began to question him. that the man had been chopping wood and when he was almost fin. ished the log slipped and the ax fell | on his foot and cut it.
