May 's a jolly month, f resh out of her skins and .winter
burrow; she mcana primroses ami woolly lambs and the
tnd of misty rains; blue scrubbed skies with cottony
clouds floating over, tho far-coming of the pop-corn man;
she's the wild maid in the story who burns winter's thongs
nway from your wrists and lets yu out into the sun again
when you thought you'd die in darkness and cold, and yet
when. she goes we don't cryl .That's because a lovelier
lady follows .Tune. "When Maytime -slips out of our gate,
looking back over her delicate shoulders, her primrose
garments fluttering their last until another year; in at the
same gate, brushing her very robe, golden and warmly
scented and loaded with flowers, against pale May, comes
June singing," snapping her fingers, morelender of sky
and air, mocking, bringing warm waters for the body that
wpuld a-swimming go, merry of eye, rich in color, May's
lovelier sister.
I May promises things and gives us a peek at them-r-but
June comes with a magic sack and an open palm.
So that is why .wq dance May in and out again, and

Heart Education Highest of All
Study and Training that Refine Nature and Awaken the Noble Sentiments , of
- Humanity aa Important as Schooling Which Reaches Only Mind.r :: S :

American people are moat ambitious for
education. - .
The poorest parents, however unln-
structed themselves, are usually ready to
make great sacrt-
flcea to educate
their children.
It Is a commend
able wish, but It la
a pity that so few
parents realise the
vaatJmportance of
laying a foundation
of heart education
on which to build
the mental nature.
Vnless education
refines the nature
and awakena the
nobler sentiments.
It hardens the
heart and offers
larger opportunities
for cruelty, ..-'.
The woman who knows how to be sar
castic and bitter- In three langi'agea la
more to be dreaded .than she who only
speaks one tongue imperfectly. .Words
are swords which need the shesth of !
kindness.
Before you deprive yourselves of ne
cessities to educate your children try to
give them a comprehension of the great
culture which Uos la the unvarying ef
fort to be kind.
Thoae two words are very simple, and
they are very old. So old that they
seem, to have lost their meaning for the
world.
But they are more Important In ths
forming of character than the word edu
cation, as It la generally employed.
There la no such thing as a cultured
roan or woman who Is unkind.
Education and cruelty can walk haul
In glove, but culture roust include kind
ness of Impulse, word and action.
A cultured woman avoids wounding
another human being wilfully or thought
lessly. She alwaya finds the way to be tactful

wth whom ahe associates, whether equals
or tnfettora.

Colossal Sun Spots
By EDGAR LUCIE LARK IX.
Between clouds, I wae fortunate to get
a view of the sun st &40 on tha morning
of April 6. The solar disk waa a scene of
enormous spot-areas. Nothing within re
cent years-can compare with these lit ,
magnitude and activity.
There were three groups of spots, and
there 'ware thlrty-aeven in the three. But
one of these spots In the largest group
wss larger than all the others combined.
The . great group was approximately
300,000 miles In length. The spots were
distributed along a track parallel to the
solar, equator.' There were twenty-one
spots In (his long group or cluster. The
largest spot waa ' approximately JR.000
miles In length and lrc.m t0,0t to Jf.000
miles wide. At the tint of observation
a -jet or tongue of incandescent matter
was Just forming on one side, making
ready to cross the black abyss below.
. The edges of this huge spot presented
a wild scene of solar turbulence. The
penumbra was wide and pronounced,
while the giant umbra was Indeed black
In contrast.
Still further along were the ethers,
growing smaller and smaller to the end
of the series.
The second spot had a ;et or bridge of
white-hot matter entirely across Its
chasm. These bridges widen snd submerge
the rpot within a day or two after forma-
tlnn. The, two sops rate and smaller
groupa were evidently remains of huge
spots that bad been covered by jets or
tongues.
