Lilium, candidum, otherwise known as the Easter lily, the Annunciation lily, or fleur de Marie, is everywhere associated with religious symbolism. The first whisper of the association of this fair white lily with the Virgin is found in a quaint old legend of the marriage of Joseph and Mary. The story runs that when Mary was 14 the priest Zacharias inquired of the Lord what ber future would be, and an anâ€" gel brought the priest word that he should go forth ana call together all the widowers among the people, enjoinâ€" ing each to bring to the temple, his rod or staff ; that the Lord would then perform a miracle that would guide him. When the convocation of widowers approached the altar, each in turn, the story goes that a pure white dove,was seen to fly from Joseph‘s rod and afight upon his head. St. Jerome‘s version is that the rods were left on the altar over night and that in the morning when Joseph returned for his it was covered with white lily blossoms. Anâ€" other legend bearing on the same subâ€" ject tells how Mary, on her way to the temple, plucked a yellow lily growing by the wayside, which became pure white when she laid it near her heart. The lily has been the recognizâ€" ed symbol of the Annunciation since the thirteenth century. In the old picâ€" tures it is painted without stamens, emblematic 9,f, im_loee‘nge and purity. ABpanish legend re‘ating to the oriâ€" gin of the white lily is as follows: In an ancient cemetery near Seville is a beautiful medieval marble cross, on which is traced in Spanish : "I believe in God, I hope in God, I love God." The cross is erected over the grave of a little lad, the only son of a poor woman. The boy was called " a naturâ€" al," an equivalent for the expression, * weakâ€"minded." Although every one laved the child it seemed impossible to teach him anything.

The news spread rapidly 4nd when the abbot heard of it he retvrned and caused the grave to be opened, and there, to the astonishment of the monks, the root of the lily was found embedded in the heart of the child.

It is when a man is within the walls of his home that he is himself. Then it is that he should be at bis best. When a man gives the best that is within him t~ those closest to him his home will be the ideal place that he wishes it to be. No man has a right to expect from his wife what he on his part does not give her. If he wants her symâ€" pathy he must give bher his consideraâ€" tion. If a man lacks the element of consideration hbe should cultivate _ it, Cover with a cosey or let it â€"stand in a warm place to infuse.
