BY AND BY. The chilly winds will cease to blow, And all the wintry weather go, By and by. And all the violets will bloom, And fill the woods with sweet perfume, By and by. The little birds flit and wing, And warble as they greet the spring, By and by. That tired feeling, too, will come, When everyone will say, “Oh, hum !” By and by. The hens will all begin to lay, And eggs grow cheaper every day, By and by. The coal will then decrease in price, But we will have to pay for ice, By and by. And though we will not shovel snow, There’ll be a grassy lawn to mow, By and by. We cannot all have talent, we cannot all have great powers, we cannot all do great work ; but we can all, by slow and patient endeavor, build up character, which may do good work, even though it may be small and humble. We do not improve the character of anybody else in any way so well as by improv- ing our own character, and that is in the power of each one of us; we can be- gin at once, and we can always go on with this work, wherever our lot is cast, SYMBOL OF THE EASTER EGG. When the nations of Europe were converted to Christianity, the senti- ment of the egg was universally ac- cepted as a suggestive symbol of their faith in the risen Savior, and it has ever since remained the most favored figure of the Easter festivities all over the continent. The children, who rule the heart and home of mankind, and doubtless responsible for the keeping alive of this old custom, for they love and demand the visit of the rabbit, with his nest of beautiful eggs, on the glad Easter morn, just as they love and long for the coming of dear Santa on Christmas eve. THE PASCHAL EGG. The resurrection took place just after the Jewish feast of the Passover, which was held on the 14th day of the moon, being approximately the time of the full moon, or what is termed the Paschal full moon. The word Easter —old English, Eastre ; German, Ostern —means the festival named from the Teuton goddess of spring, Austro. The custom of distributing the “pasche egg” has been almost always universal among Christians, and for centuries children have enjoyed hard- boiled, dyed eggs, which they roll about or throw, and finally eat. Among the Tyrolese, bands of musicians traverse every valley, singing beautiful Easter hymns to their guitars, calling out the people to their doors, who join them in choruses, and together rejoice on this glad anniversary. The Paschal eggs. which have formed a necessary part of all Easter offerings for centuries past, are not forgotten. The good wife has these ready prepared, dyed, inscribed with mottoes made ineffaceable by a rustic process of chemistry, and when the children bring their baskets they ure freely given in return for their Ens- ter carols. Unless the egg and the rabbit are symbols of spring as being the genesis of development and the plentiful prey of the early huntsman, it is not clear why these emblems should typify the present festival.

Following His Physician's Orders tne Good Work Continued. The following is told of a politician in a Pennsylvania town well known for his ardent support of the princi- les of the Prohibition party. Accord- g to the physician who was consult- ed by this man, who fancied himself quite ill, he was told that there was really nothing the matter with him. “What you need,” said the doctor, “is & stimulant—a little whiskey now and then will make you all right in no time.” “Whiskey!” gasped the politician, “Why, doctor, my folks wouldn't stand such a thing for a minute! Don’t you know that I am a Prohibitionist?” “lI think,” replied the physician, “that the difficulty may be overcomes, I'll! send you a jug of excellent liquor. You'll take it in hot water from three to four times a day.” “But, doctor,” persisted the Pro. hibitionist, “when I send for the hot water the family may suspect some- thing.” “You shave, don’t you?” suggested the physician. “Send your shaving mug down stairs. The hot water may be sent to you in that.” A short time after the physician called to see how his patient was get- ting on. Every one in the house ap- peared to be greatly perturbed. In re- 8ponse to the doctor's surprised query, the family chorused: wn “Oh, he’s all right physically, doe- tor, but we really think he's quite out of his mind. Why, he’s been shaving himself every hour or so for a week." —Harper's Weekly. ————— Very Awkward Situation, Mrs. Norton came home from a call one day in such a disturbed condition that it was evident tears were not far in the background. She lost no time in beginning her explanation. “John,” she said to her husband, “I am 80 mortified I don't know what to do.” “What is the matter, my dear?’ ask- ed Mr. Norton, “lI have been calling on Mrs. Pav. erill. You know her husband, Major Peverill?” “Yes.” “Well, I have just learned today, to my horror, that ‘Major isn't a title at all. “Major’ is his first name.” “Why, certainly. I've always known that. What is there so mortifying about it?” “Nothing,” said Mrs. Norton, with a groan, “only that I've been calling him ‘Major’ every time I've met him for the last six months!” ——e ee Rather Severe Punishment. “And did you have your maid incar- cerated for stealing your jewels ?” ask- ed Mrs. Oldcastle. “Oh, my, no! Josiah was reading to me the other night about the way a man’s body was incarcerated at one of the crematory places, because he made them promise to do it before he died, but I'd never think of treating a per- son that way for just stealing."—Chi- cago Record-Herald. . The Meaning of Words, “It's wonderful,” said the medita~ tive man, “how one small word, in- significant in itself, may induce an endless train of thought, speaking vol umes in fact.” “Yes,” replied the caustic man. “Take the word ‘but,’ for instance, when a woman says: ‘Of coupe, K's none of my business, but.’ “+ Phila- delphia Press. As to Old Maids. “I'm glad Billy had the sense to marry a settled old maid,” said Grand- ma Winkum at the wedding. “Why, Grandma?” asked the son. “Well, gals is hity-tity, and widders is kinder over-rulin’ and upsettin’, But old maids is thankful and willin® to please!” —Modern Society. —— et Did He Get Them? “Why don’t you go to work?” said a charitable lady to a tramp, before whom she placed a nicely cooked meal. “I would,” replied the vagrant, “if I had the tools.” “What sort of tools do you want?” asked the hostess, “A knife and fork,” said the tramp,— Tatler. rt LAAT Relative.

MAMMY'S ADVICE Yeo Her Daughter Contained Mois Truth Than Fiction. “So, chile, yo' wants mah consent to let yo’ git married, huh,” began Mammy Gunbusta, as she peeped over her iron-rimmed glasses at her eldest daughter, who stood before her with bowed-down head. “Gal, yo’ mought as well ask a Jedge to sentence yo’ to hahd labor fo de rest ob yo’ life.

Occassionally one meets an illiterate man but the chances are he will never learn that ‘the man cannot read. They are always ashamed of their failing and will sit scanning a newspaper an hour rather than give evidence of their illiteracy. But fit is doubtful whether the cleverest man alive could have put up a better bluff at doing something be could nof do than three small negro boys of Kansas City handed out the other day. The three boys were climbing up a bank to cross a vacant lot when they encountered a sign: “Look yere,” said the first boy. “This sign says: ‘Private Property, Keep Out.’ ” The next boy ded to study it a moment, and sald: “That's right, ‘only it says “Keep off,’ ‘stead of ‘out.’ ” It was the third boy's turn. “Yo'- all ean’t none o’ you read,” he said “That sign dop’'t say nothin’ "bout property. It jes’ says ‘Private; Keep Out.’ ” The sign was: ®t00ccoscccrenes Pes cs snes cnssasnseas . Dirt Free. Inquire of John Jones. : stv tes rtsssnst traits. He Did the Talking. A lively looking porter stood on the rear Platform of a sleeping car in the Pennsylvania station, when a fussy old man clambered up the steps.

Not a word, Sir.” ‘ The train was starting. The porter pocketed the bill with a grin. and swung himself to the ground. “All right, bose!” he shouted. “You can do the talking if you want to. I'm powerful sorry you wouldn’t let me tell you, but I ain't going out on that train.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger. —— le A Story From the Royal Academy, The rising young painter who is pre- paring a large canvass for this year’s ehow at Burlington House should re- member the story told of a certain president of the Royal Academy—some say of the present P. R. A. says a I.ondon exchange. The young and pretty wife of an unsuccessful painter who for years had sent large land- scapes to the summer exhibition with- out avail, called at last in despair on the president, and pleaded her hus- band’s cause with eloquence. Still, he remembered the large canvases. and hesitated. Finally he spoke: “Madam,” he said, ‘go back and tell your hus. band that when he sends in a picture as small and as charming and as pret- “I'm going to St. pay for it.

In the schools of a Connecticut town measures were recently taken to test the children’s eyesight. As the doctor finished each school he gave the prin- cipal a list of the pupils whose eyes needed attention and requested him to notify the children’s parents to that effect. One boy brought home to his father this note from the principal: “Mr. ——. Dear Sir: It becomes my duty to inform you that your son shows decided indications of astigmatism and his case is one that should be attended to without delay.” The next day the father sent the following answer: “Dear Sir: Whip it out of him.”—N.
