atmosphere. Away there tall thin
masts stand out, rising straight up
above the red IS. There is faint
color on them tne yards are dark
being inclined, they do not reflect the
light at an angle to reach us. Half
furled canvas droops in folds, now
swelling little as the wind blows, now
heavily sinking. One white sail is set
and CLEANS alone among the dusky
folds for the canvas at large is dark
with coal-dust, with smoke, with the
CRIME that settles everywhere where
men labor with bare arms and chests.
Still and quiet as trees the masts rise
into the hazy air; who would think
merely to look at them, of the endless
labor they mean? The labor to load
and the labor to unload the labor at
sea and the long hours Of ploughing the
waves by night the labor at the ware
houses; the labor in the fields, the
mines, the mountains the labor in the
factories. Ever and ever again the
sunshine CLEANS now on this group of
masts, now on that for they stand in
groups as trees often grow, thicket
here and thicket yonder. Labor to
obtain the material, labor to bring it
hither, labor to force it into shape
work without end. Masts are always
dreamy to look at they speak ro-
nance Of the sea of unknown lands I;
of distant forests aglow with tropical
colors and abounding with strange
forms of life. In the hearts Of most
of us there s'always a desire for some
thing beyond experience. Hardly any
I of us but have thought. Some day L
will go on long voyage. But the
years go by, and leave us nothing much
but labor every man in his own place.

The HndOo parents rejoice when a
male child is born; but seem to care
nothing for female child. This arises
from their custom known as Sbrdttd,
similar to the mass for the dead among
the Roman Catholics. The eldest son
IN family, at the death of the father
performs this ceremony, and the fathers
think that their sons can only be saved
by having this ceremony performed.
The female child caunot do this. 1t is
considered shame for daughters to
learn to read, write or sing. Hence
when female school was established
we at first had to hire girls to attend.
But the boys like to study. No states
or pencils are used. Each child brings
basket of sand which he dumps before
him on the floor. The teacher traces
in this with his finger, and the child
follows the example, at the same time
singing out the name of the letter. The
Hindoo alphabet has more than sixty
letters or characters. Their books are
pam lCehNtDf WAllth tlO luilH Ou q obhAiAtss
The letters are scratched on this with
an iron pen. l once sent one of these
books to Professor p. Krauth of the
University of Pennsylvania. On rising
in the morning the children do not
spend much time at dressing for until
seven years of age they seldom wear
anything.
Later in life their dress is very mea-
ger, but the rich females are adorned
with countless jewels. They have rings
in their noses and ears and on their
necks, arms, waist, ankles and toes.
First in the morning the children brush
their teeth. Hindoos have sound white
teeth. A twig is cut from the nearest
tree, the end split Into tibers to make a
a rude brush, and they sit at the banks
of a stream scrubbing at their teeth
often for half an hour. After this they
bathe and then say their prayers, which
consist of many words, but generally
the supplicants do not know what they
ask. Often for an hour they will con-
tinue crying, Rama, Ramal' without
ceasing. The usual food is rice and
water, with sauce. They cook twice
a day, at noon and evening. In the
morning the remnants of the evening
meal are eaten. Little time is con-
sumed in washing dishes, for these are
leaves which are thrown away immedi.
ately after eating. The father and Sons
eat first, seated on the floor. They have
33O, ,000,0 900 gods, and are reluctant to
give up their worship, and the customs
\ of their ancestors.

For the safety of amateur sportsmen
these instances of gun barrel bursting
should be cited. In bravado a young
man placed the muzzle of his fowling
piece under the water and fired the
charge. The result was the bursting
of the barrel near the breech and the
mutilation of hishand. Another placed
and held the muzzle of his piece square
against piece of plate window glass
and fired the charge-powder and bull
let. The glass was shattered, so was
the gun barrel. Another instance was
that of an experimenter who had heard
that candle could be fired from the
barrel of gun through an inch board.
He drove a candle into the nozzle of the
gun, fired, and the explosion split the
barrel almost its entire length, and did
not even drive the candle from the muz-
zle. Still another burst of "a gun-barrel
was caused by the use Of wet grass Z

cartridges, and it is proboble that, in
loading with open powder and ball, only
a small amount got into the chamber,
and the bullet was not propelled with
sufficient force to drive it from the
muzzle; at least the bullet did not go
out, but lodged. As the shooter did
not know whether the bullet escaped
or not, he kept on firing until the barrel
burst or bulged, and when it was sawed

The sunset glow in the west
Casts its roseate CLEAN on the sea,
All nature sinketh to rest
Throwing its warmth DER you and me.
With delicate tint of the rose,
An ocean of wine 1t appears
Bearing along as it flows,
The cleaned wealth of years.
As stand my love beside
On thy face Hpturned see
The glow of the flowing tide,
And know tits meant for me
The rolling tide flows in,
In my heart food keeps pace,
And know the humping din
E Is caused by an upturned face.
The suns asleep in the west,
And the tile with sweet musical drips
Softly breaks, as to my breast
Fold her, and drop kiss on sweet lips.
