not only beautiful in themselves and
cannot be told from those made of
the usual material, but will stand
the most severe shower and look even
better after than before. They are
used to some ertent In Germany, especially

And the breath of the pines is shed;
When the song of the thrush is ringing
Wonderful. rich, npart?
Between the sound and the silence
Cornea a sudden lift of the heart.
When we seek with the clearer vision
Thut grief the revealer brings
For the threads that are shot together

The Censor In Italy.
A most amusing incident took place ;
last week, which shows the absolute
absurdity of the censorship in Italy.
The great actor, Ermete Novelli,
now in South America, has a son who
lives in Florence, to whom was born a
bouncing boy. The young Novelli, in
haste to let his father know that lit
had made him a grandfather, tele
giaphed: "Ermeto Novelli, Buenos
Ayrcs: Boy. Enrico." Several hours
later he was called to the telegraph
office, where the following conversation
took place:
"You know wo could not let your
dispatch pass."
"Not let it pass! But why, if you
please?"
"You know you said it was a boy?"
"And if I did, what then? Is it not
true?"
"Well, that is what we do not knowyet."
"What! Are yon crazy? I know
it'"
"Well, anyway, public order demands
that it should not bo made
' public."
"Made public! Am I making it public
by telegraphing to my father?
And, in any ease, what has the birth
of my son got to do with public order?
Excuse me, have you all taken leave
of your senses?"
"Your son?" gasped the other. "We
thought you were telegraphing nbout
the queen!"
