"Advise in next y's Globe (a local newspaper) you wish to ransom her."". And at end was the initial "R." * The police have searched in vain for the girl.

Walcott considered 70,- 000,000 as the maximum age. George H. Darwin has discussed the age of the earth from a purely astronomical point of view.

The birds have moved back again from their southern homes and are adding their notes of sweet pleading to the chorus of nature. How much one misses who closes her eyes to these voices! How sweetened and strengthened in body and spirit one becomes who listens to those lovely May mornings! The dawn of newly awakened life is no surer in Nature than in our own hearts. ° The sweet flowers as they sway to and fro in the breeze, bring to mind other Mays of long ago. No strain of music, no spoken word can carry a soul back to the past as does the delicious perfume of Nature during this time. Closing our eyes we yield to the spell until the present seems but a dream and the long ago a rea- lity. No life, however prosaic, but holds in memory some tender thought or remembrance of the past. It may be a touch of romance; a thought of eyes that long since logk- ed their last upon the beauties of May, or a little human rosebud that ay have just begun to enfold its elicate petals, when it withered and was gone forever; a loving father or a fond mother may have broken sprigs from the vine we are caress- ing. In all hearts, life has left some souvenir which is brought to memory by this 'Queen. of Months", the month of hope and premise, when every sense is Quickened, every care forgotten. i Once again let us steal a little time from the weary toil of school life to listen to those voices that speak and sing an out door song of happiness and praise. Let the May breezes, la- little while. Let us listen to the voi- ces while our tired eyes drink in this beauty.--Monica Hamell, Form II.
