The golden sun climbs up the sky,
The shadows flee nwny,
Oh! weary henrt, forget 'to sigh;
God sends the Enstcr Day
Long was that night, chill was the air,
And grief o'er brooded long,
Yet Is the new world white and fair,
Uplift thine Easter song!
The cross that bowed thee with Its weight
By strength of prayer Is stirred,
Till it shall bear thee soon or late.
As wings upbear the bird.
The life that thrills from star to star,
And beats in leaf and stem.
Is wider than the heavens arc,
And blesses thec from them.
Wert thou cnstdown.wcrt thou dismayed,
Dear Child of One nbovc,
Behold the earth In light arrayed;
The light of deathless love. ,
Ohl listen to the word that wakes
In every budding flower.
Arid take the bread the Master breaks,
In His triumphant hour.
Tor those who hear, and hearing yearn,
The Kind hath secrets sweet;
Their hearts within them thrill and burn,
They wait His coming feet.
Then swift the sun climbs up the sky!
The shadows lice away!
Oh! weary heart, forget to sigh,
God sends the Easter Day!

of Calvary. Then It was that the

did the swullow perch on the cross and
twitter tender words of consolation,
but also in its small, sweet way al
leviated the sufferer's pain by pulling
out a spine from the crown of thorns.
And tho stork flying o-er tho cross
loitered on the wing to call down:
"Stryk!" "Stryk!" "Strengthen!"

From these seeds, tho quaint narra

As somo claim the aspen was tho
wood of tho cross, others select tho
weeping willow for tho tree upon
which Judas hanged himself.
There is nn old legend ub sinister

claims that boforo the birth of JudaB
his mother dreamed thnt her child
would murder hla father and betray
his God for money.. To prevent this
tragedy, tho babe was put In a chest
and cast upon tho sea, but was rescued
and ndopted by n king.

AIRSHIP LIKE DUCK
NEW CRAFT WHICH CAN FLY AND
ALSO FLOAT.
J. W. Harrison, St. Louis Millionaire,
Who Has Made Successful Model,
Says His Plan Is Sure to
Be a Big Succces3v.
St. Louis. Aerial navigation is not
a very difficult problem, according to
John W. Harrison, millionaire manu
facturer of this city. Mr. Harrison
recently told n reporter that ho had a
plan upon which ho has worked for
more than four years, for an airship
that would also float on wnter, and
he says he Is sure the machine will
bo successful, because ho made a
model of It and the model worked
perfectly.
"I know it Is practicable and will
work successfully," Mr. Harrison said,
"because I mado a model some time
ago which did all I thought It would
and more. The only trouble with it
was that It sailed completely away,
and I never found it or any trace
of it."
Mr. Harrison made his model along
tho lines upon which he has planned
a bigger machine. It wob two feet
long nnd operated by a big clock
spring. Ho liberated the airship from
the roof of his home, and it flew
away. He watched It until It was out
of sight, and as far as ho could seo it
the contrivance did not drop or show
any defect.
Mr. Harrison fully described his
contrivance. Tho machine Is to bo
built of aluminum, tho root nud wings
to be of oiled sMk. It is to bo pro
vided with two propellers, ono for air
and ono for wntcr navigation. The
body is boat shaped, of aluminum.
Tho propellers are to be of aluminum.
Aluminum columns on the boat will
support tho roof, which is to be of
oiled silk, surrounded by huge, rigid
wings of oiled silk.
The dimensions are to be ns fol
lows: Tho aluminum boat la to be 64
feet long, tho silk roof is to be 25
EARLY TOAD GETS A CIGAR.
Prematurely Awakened, Mistakes a
Fiery Butt for a Meal.
Montclalr, N. J. A toad, led to be
llovo that spring had reached here,
had a painful experience. A trench
was bolng dug for a sower connection
In Claremont nvcnuo, nnd to thaw the
frozen earth fires wero built along the
line.
The toad, feeling the warmth, awoko
from its winter sleop and hastened to
tho surface. Just then n passing smo
ker throw nwny his burning stump of
a cigar, which rested on a small twig
that hold It about two Inches nbovo
tho ground. The toad, on the lookout
for a aquaro meal, probably thinking
tho flrotly season had arrived, mndo
a Jump for tho stump and bolted it.
Tho toad jumped In tho ulr ubout
threo foet, thon ullghted on the sldo
walk. A low faint croak preceded an
other Jump, which was followed by a
third. Then tho tond hopped nimbly
back to tho grassy plot from which It--
had emerged, no doubt returning to its
winter homo to think tho matter over.
Lays a Freak Egg.
Minneapolis, Minn. A three-year-old
Plymouth Rock hen owned by
Frank A. Hreltkrentz Is In tho public

with a body tho slzo of a small egg, a
long neck and unother omull sized egg
ju the end.
state, Is
for three
feet long nnd the wing urea to bo 75
feet long. The wings nre to be 25
feet long. The 6 feet between their
ends. This would make a wing area
73 feet long by 50 feet wide. The nlr
propeller to have 18-foot wings and
tho water propeller 2-foot wings.
Tho machine is to bo operated by n
Ct-horse-power steam engine, weigh
ing 750 pounds. This machine, by Mr.
Harrison's calculations, would have a
2,100-pound lifting power.
The machine which flew away was
a model of this proposed airship, two
feet in length. It was built Just like
he proposes to build the big one.
He never made another model, but
bad an engine mado for a big ma
chine. About that time, however, he
says other business distracted his at
tention. Mr. Harrison sold the., engine to a
Japanese servant, and the Japanese
wont to New York, saying he would
consult tho Japanese consul there nnd
try lo construct an airship on Mr.
Harrison's Ideas, but tho Japanese has
not since been heard from.

PREHISTORIC MEMORIAL.
Is Largest In America and May Have
Been Built While Pyramids Were
Erected Relics Inside Full
of Mystery.
Charleston, W. Va. Standing 70
feet high, 900 feet In circumference,
with trees growing on It 700 years old,
tho mammoth mound nt Moundsvllle,
W. Va., located on tho Grave creek
Hats, near the Ohio river the greatest
monument of antiquity in the Ohio val
ley, and a memorial to tho lire of a
prehistoric people, will bo purchased
by the stato of West Virginia.
At tho bossIoii of the legislature Just
ended, following unceasing activity for
20 years, tho stnto appropriated ? 1,000
Willi which to save tho mound from
the ravages of modern commercialism.
This sum, with a donation of $5,000
from the McFadden heirs, owners of
the property, and a slmllur donation
from tho school children of the state.
Is sufficient to secure the mound for
tho state.
A quarter of a century ago G. S.
McFadden purchns6d tho mound tc
prevent It being Bold to a German,
who know the value of tho spot for a
popular resort, and Intended plnclng
a saloon on tho summit. Several
iiiwitliB ago tho heirs of McFadden
served notice that they had hold tlio
mound as long as possible, and It
would bo sold at once.
The mound Is, tho largest in Amor
len, and was discovered by Joseph
Tomllnson In 1770, the first pioneer
settler in thnt section. Standing in
a broad vulley of -1,000 acres, 11 af
fords a view of the surrounding coun
try for several miles.
Relative to the age of the mound
little Is known. Tomllnson, tho dlscov
erer, snld that when ho discovered It
and first mounted Its summit, then 0G
feet high, the timber on the mound
was ns large and dense ns any of tho
surrounding forest. At that time somo
of tho trees bore names and dates, ono
of the latter being 1734. A gigantic
oak tiee, felled years afterwurd on tho
summit, was ascertained to bo more
than six centuries old.
Even conjecture cannot point to tho
time when tho mammoth mound was
erected by a bygone people. It may
have been when old Cheops was bolng
built or when Cleopatra's needle was
being fnshloned. Certain It Is that
the mound wns .erected by a prehis
toric race that was similar to tho
Egyptians.
In 1838 the mound was opened by
Its owner by excavating a passage
way from the north side toward tho
center. At a distance of 100 feet
from tho entrance two skeletons wero
unearthed in n vault crudely construct
ed with unhewn timbers nnd loose
Btones. One of tho skeletons wns sur
rounded by C50 Ivory bends and an
Ivory ornament about six Inches In
length.
A shaft was sunk from the summit
of the mound to meet the drift, nnd
at a point 34 feet above the vault first
discovered was another containing a
skcloton which had been ornamented
with copper rings, plates of mica and
bone heads.
Probably the most interesting curio
or antiquary taken from the mound in
1838 was a stone engraved in unknown
characters resembling thoso used by
the Scandinavian priests beforo tho
introduction of tho Roman alphabet.
The characters are conceded to
be of European origin, and it this be
truo it is evident that other Euro
peans visited Anierlcu beforo Chris,
topher Columbus.
Hill Springs Up In a Creek.
Woodland, Cal. A hill has risen out
of tho bed of Cache creek In Capay .
valley. The course of tho creek has-been
diverted nnd is now running sov-
oral hundred ynrds out of Its course;
The upheaval was accompanied by two
sharp explosions: Seven acres In tho
vicinity have dropped from 40 to 100

fllllng from tho creek.
