At a re cent meeting of the Civic League it was decifled that the mothers of the town could co-operate in prepar ing and furnishing lunches to the school children. This means pri marily that the children will be giv en dainty, wholesome food, and sec ondarily will put the library on a very substantial basis.

'Mien the buildings were demolish ed anil the debris cleared away for Hie home of the Empire Life, there wit* revealed Ihe vision of a loroiy magnolia grandlflora, the pride of the American lores!. Whether in sunshine, tempest frost or snow, the luster of its glossy green foliage ever the same as it stood in the midst of a beautiful garden, a veritable queen of ail the beautiful Bowers and shrubs, that has grown under the nurturing care of loving hands. There the lone magnolia, surround ed by its other floral companions, has stood year alter year in a lovely oasis, in a desert of brick and morter. And there it stands today, looking down on a scene of animation and activity, of moving eianes and swing ing derricks and of busy laborers and putting steam engines spouting jets of steam and blacking smoke. In the springtime the spearing mag nolia, with its dark green leaves, butt °! 1 the under side, would be dotted all over with immense flow ers whose tinge white eorrolas gave forth a fragrance that filled the air ror little boys and girls to have one of these magnolia Imds was the proud triumph of wielding a sceptre in the floral kingdom.

And the valley lily and meadow rose, And the blood wort ventured, "My goodness knows, It’s surely contagious, for I can feel A tingling down to my very heel From the tip of my very nose!” Some one listened above the ground Unto the strange and eerie sound. And ran home telling the world along In a whiff of beauty he tied In song, That the itch for spring had begun to start Wherever the blossoms oT beauty throng, And he felt it, too, in hla hungry heart! —Unknown. The windows of a home looked down upon this beauty-spot and two little noses flattened against the win dow pane, as two pairs of blue eyes peered through the frosted lace work or the glass spangled with rain-drops. On sunshiny days, the sash was rais ed and then the grateful fragrance of the flowers came floating in on the wings of the gentle breeze. All the margins of the walks were embroidered with the choicest flow ers of many hues, and the flower beds were set with such old timey things as violets of tenderest blue, hearts ease fno pinsies then) candy tuft, star of-Bethlehem and many others, once held in the highest esteem, but now rarely socu In gardens.
