but not beauty. The Grecians received
ideas of beauty from the Btudy of their
poets, and especially Homer. They ex
pressed their ideafs in beautiful forms.
Mrs. Johnson traced the growth ot art
through the different periods of time,
showing that always behind the picture
or statue the artiat was seeking to ex
press his ideal of religion. The Ro
mans had no religion, therefore thoy
had no art, excepting what they cap
tured or borrowed from others. After
the Christian era began, religious ideals
prevailed, but of a different character.
These Christians Bought to express
upon canvas or by Btatue the figure of
Obrintand his apostles and other saints.
Mythology was almost forgoteen. Mrs.
Johnson then afakod Mrs. F. M. Hall
to talk on the great masterpieces of
the Christian world. Mrs. Hall re
sponded and illustrated ber subject
with engravings. The art department
is growing in interoBt and the ladies

SWASTIKA.
What is Swastika? It is the latest
fad in writing paper. The Swastika is
an East Indian mystic figure or symbol
of good luck, well known to tho Bra
hamans nnd Buddhists and frequently
employed in tho decorative carvings and
paintings udoo tho temples of the east.
The word is of Sanskrit origin and sig
nifies happiness, well-being, good luck.
The origin of this symbol is wrapped in
myBtery. No one knows how, when or
where it originated. However, it has
positively been ascertained that the
symbol bad its birth in pro-historic
times. ltd one great point of interest
lios in the fact that it is extremely old.
Its unquestionable significance as a
mark of happiness or well being makes
it doubly acceptable to one who is writ
ing to a friend desiring to convey in
every possible way that expression of
good will which nullifies distance; and
draws tho world together in a feeling of
kinship.

How strange it seems!
Twas just a little while ago,
only a day or two,
That we were boys together,
and played as youngsters do.
As if it were but yesterday,
I can remember how
We used to wade bare-legged
when we went to get the cow.
And when the mud was soft and deep,
we'd load it on our toes
And kick it at each other
for we didn't mind our clothes!
We'd race up through the pasture
with our pants above our knees
To find old Bess and Brindle,
switching flies beneath the trees)
And then we'd slowly follow them
. down through the pasture gate,
And hope that father wouldn't ask
what nude us stay so late
How strange it seems, .
-
How strange it teems!
' Twas iust a little while ago,
only a day or two.
That we talked over privately - ""'
what we were going to do. x
You wouldn't catch us driving cows, '
nor pulling tough old weeds.
Our boyish plans were far above
such ordinary deeds,
For us a thousand lands to see
proud honors to be won,
When boyhood days were over,
and we were twenty-one!
And Tom would say, 41 tell you what,
I'm going to go to sea; '; .
I'll have a big three-master,
an'thecap'n'libeme.
I b'lieve I'll saU to China first, , ,
across the ragin' deep
An' get a load o' tea an' silk, ;
an' funny things to keep. " v
An' then I'll make some money, ,i ";
an' I'll.buy the folks a store. .
So they c'n just look after that,
an' not work any more!
An' then I'll sail to Egypt,
an' I'll follow upJhe.Nile,
An' then I guess 111 anchor
an' hunt elephants awhile.
An' then I'll sail to Greece,
an' Spain, an' Italy, an' Rome, v .
An' when I've been around the world, ' jfi
then maybe I'll come home."
I would listen, lost in wonder,
