THE ORROW OF LOVE. The quarrel of the sparrow In the MTM, The full round moon and the tar-laden ky. And the loud song of the ever tingtag leaves. Had hid away earth's old and weary ery. And then you came with those red, mournful lips. And with you came the whole of the world's tears. And all the trouble of her laboring ships. And all the trouble of her laboring years. And now the sparrows warring in the eaves. The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky, And the loud t haunting of the unquiet leaves, Are shaken with earth's old and weary cry. W. B. Yeats.

HOW TO BE AN EDITOR. Most any one can be an editor. All the editor has to do is to sit at a desk six days out of the week, four weeks of the month and twelve months of the year "edit" such stuff as thia: "Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek let a can opener slip last week and cut herself In the pantry." "A mischevious lad of Piketown threw a stone and struck Mr. Pike in the alley last Tuesday." "John Doe climbed on the roof of his house last week looking for a leak and fell striking himself on the back porch." "While Harold Green was escorting Mies Violet WiBe from the church social lant Saturday night a savage dog attacked them and bit Mr. Green several times on the public square." "Isaac Trimmer of Running Creek was playing with a cat when it scratched him on the veranda." "Mr. Fong while harnessing a broncho last Saturday was kicked just south of bis corn patch."
are a feature, as are the vocal solos rendered by the various members of the organization. Mr. O. W. Beaver Is a reader of exceptional merit; be has a heart Interest in his selections; his numbers, at ways wholesome and refreshing, are a splendid addition to the programs. Special attention is called to the fact that the quartet carries the largest set of organ chimes of any similar organization now in Lyceum. As an artistic and pleasing novelty, as well as a legitimate musical instrument, these chimes are unsurpassed. Their sweet tonal quality and organ-like volume is a revelation, and it is when performing upon this magnificent instrument that the work of the company creates the most unbounded enthusiasm. Quality will always gain recognition and the clean, manly young fellows, forming this popular organization, have gained for themselves the praise and good will of the public entirely on their merits as excellent entertainers.

"The boy is well educated," said the father, "and speaks seven languages." "Well," the chancellor replied, "if he can speak seven languages, I should think you had better make him a hotel manager."
FELT HIS PRESENCE. Curlews Instance of Tlpathy Described by John Muir. John Mulr. in his book. "My First Summer in the Sierras. relates a curious Instance of telepathy. He spent the summer of 1860 in the beautiful wilderness around the Toeemite valley. One day he was busily sketching on the North Dome, when suddenly he became possessed with the notion that hia friend Professor J. D. Butler of the University of Wisconsin was below him in the valley. He jumped up. full of the idea of meeting him. being almost as much startled as if some one had unexpectedly touched him and made him look up. Instantly be went running down the slope and along the brink of the valley, looking for a way to the bottom, feeling drawn irresistibly. Gradually his common sense con
vinced him that he could not possibly reach the hotel until after everybody would be asleep for the night. He therefore compelled himself to stop, but the next day he went Into the valley and found that Professor Butler had arrived the evening before, unexpected by anybody. He had been four or five miles distant at the moment when Mr. Muir was so suddenly apprised of his presence. "He had Just entered the valley by way of the Coulterville trail," says the author, "and was coming past El Capltan when his presence struck me. Had be then looked toward the North Dome with a good glass he might have seen me jump up from my work and run toward him. This seems the one well defined marvel of my life of the kind called supernatural."
RESURRECTION PLANT. It Comes te Life, After Drying Up, if Plunged Into Water. One of the most extraordinary plants In the world is undoubtedly that known to botanists as Anastatlca, commonly called the Resurrection plant or occasionally the Rose of Jericho. It is an annual inhabiting the Egyptian desert. It is so highly hygrometrlc that when fully developed It contracts Its rigid branches so as to constitute a ball. Exposed then to the action of the wind it is blown hither and thither toward the sea. when It is gathered and exported to Europe. If then, when apparently dead and dried up. Its root is plunged Into water, the buds swell with new life and leaves of its calyx open, the petals un-
fold, the flower stalk grows and the
fall blown flowers appear as if by magic. When removed from the water the plant returns to its original apparently dead condition until again placed in water; hence. Its title of the Resurrection plant. There are many superstitious tatea concerning this so called rose afloat In the east. It is said to have first bloomed on Christmas eve and continued to flower till Easter, at its birth heralding the advent of the Redeemer, and immediately before his departure honoring his resurrection.

There Das tone existed among tne Chinese a passion for flreworfcs and lanterns. Travelers have called China the land of lanterns, and the term is apposite. In every city, at every port' and on every river and canal as soon as ntght comes on lanterns make tbelr appearance. They are hung at the door of every dwelling; they swing as pendants from the angles of pagodas; they form the fiery crown of every shop front; they cluster round the houses of the rich and light up the hovels of the poor; they are borne with the carriages of travelers, and they swing from the yards and the mastsof vessels.
