pi #-i iv SING GLADNESS AND PRAISE Carols Have a Distinct and Beautiful Meaning When Rendered at ths E****1" I Be Time. It seems as If the East* ertlde was a particularly appropriate time for the caroling out of our joy. The spring has come, the birds are singing again af ter the long winter of tee and snow, and we mortals wake to Joy again with them. Let us see how the people of ancient times observed Easter. "Carol," the word which we use in speaking of Easter music, means a song of praise, between a bymn and a ballad, a song which was used first to accompany a dance. One of the most beautiful of these old arols had its origin In tho. southwest ern part of France, and is called "The Carol of the Flowers." It runs thus: Come with us, sweet flowers, and wor ship Christ the Lord l*t your perfume hover round the Babe adored. Modest violet, hiding in the grassy shade, Thou canst say how humble He Is made. Lily fair, low bending In the sun's warm light Thou dost tell that He Is pure as thou are white. Am thou, pansy, shlnest forth in bright array, 6b doth He his majesty display. As thou, rose, wide opening, do thy scent Impart, 6 His love expanding, draws each sin ful heart "Easter time seemed especially the reason that the ancient people were moved to compose folk songs, which were not written down as music is written now, but which were sung, from generation to generation of peo ple. In this way they were kept alive, as surely as if they had been printed, or written on parchment, according to the custom In ancient days. These folk songs depicted scenes in the gar den of Gethsemane where the Saviour walked, or of the women who went to the tomb bearing precious spices, oi their finding the empty tomb, of the white-robed angel, and of Mary, the virgin mother. One of the most beautiful of all the songs which have been written of this event Is Handel's "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth." This has been sung on Easter for many years, in churches.

The chemistry employed, says the Scientific American, is used in making a certain paste that the shipper applies to the stem end of the watermelon. Before the paste was invented whole carloads of watermelon frequently decayed. Now the shipper takes two copper or enamel-ware vessels, and in one o* them dissolves four ounces of blue stone in two pints of boiling water, and in the other three ounces of powdered alum in one pint of water. To the so lution of powdered alum he then adds four and one-half ounces of rye flour, and mixes the whole until he has a smooth paste. When the bluestone is dissolved that solution is poured info the paste, and the mixture is thor oughly stirred. The paste is then boiled for five minutes, cooled and strained, colored with pistachio green and sealed in air-tight jars. Where He Did His Reading. HamptonWhat did you do last night?
