THEY CAME INTO A WORLD UNKNOWN.
CONTINUED FROM THE FIRST rAeE.l

They sailed" writ one, "and as they sailed they
That they were Pilgrmsl"
On the wintry main
God filings their lives as farmers scatter gram.
His breath pr pels the winged seed ailoat;
His tempests swerve to spare the fragile boat;
Before His prompting terrors disappear;
He points the way while patient seamen steer;
III port Is reached, nor North, nor South, put
Here, where the shore was rugged as the waves,
Where frozen nature dumb and leafess lay.
ana ana no rich meadows babe the Pilgrims stay
10 conquer first the outer things; to make
Their own advantage, unallied, rnbound
Ineir blood the mortar, building from the ground;
Their cares the statutes, making all anew;
TO learn to trust the many. not the few;
70 bend the mind to discipline; to break
The bonds OF old convention. and forget
The claims and barriers of class; to face
desert land, a strange and hostile race,
And conquer both to friendship by the debt
That Nature pays to Justice, love, and toll.
Here on this rock, and on this sterile soil,
Began the kingdom not of kings, but men:
Began the making of the world again.
Here centuries sank, and from the hither brink
new world reached and raised an old-world
link.
When English hands, by wider vision taught,
Threw down the feudal bars the Normans brought,
And here revived, In spite Of sword and stake,
Their ancient freedom of the Wapentake!
Here struck the Seed-the Pilgrims roOfiess town
Where equal 5 rights and equal bonds were set,
Where human breath blew all the idols down:
Where crests were nought where vulture flags
were furled.
And common men began to own the world!
All praise to others of the vanguard then!
To Spain, to Frances to Baltimore and Penn;
To Jesuit Quaker-Puritan and Priest;
Their toll be crowned-7their h0nors be increasedi
We slight no true devotion, steal no fame
From other shfines to gild the Pilgrims name.
AS time selects, we judge their treasures heaped;
Their deep foundations laid; their harvests
reaped
Their primal mode of liberty; their rules;
OF civil right their churches courts, and schools;
Their freedoms very secret here laid down.
The spring Of government is the,ttle town!
They knew that streams must follow to a spring;
And no stream flows from township to king.
Give praise to others, earlycome or late
For love and labor on our ship of state;
But this must stand above all fame and zeal:
The Pilgrim Fathers laid the ribs and keel.
On their strong lines we base our social health
The man-the home-the town-the common
wealth!
Unconscious builders? Yea: the conscious fail!

o Peoples Voice! when farthest thrones shall
hear;
When teachers own; when thoughtful rabies
know;
When artist minds in worldwide symbol show;
When serfs and soldiers their mute faces raise;
When priests on grand cathedral affairs praise;
When pride and arrogance shall disappear
The Pilgrims Vision is accomplished here!

A Snipe Dresses Its Wounds.

An interesting account of how birds
treat wounds by surgical methods was
recently presented to the Physical So
ciety OF Geneva by M. Fatio. In this
, it was stated that the snipe had been
observed to apply dressing of feath-
. ers to wounds, and even to bandage a
broken leg. Any creature with legs
; as long and brittle as a snipe's ought
. really to know how to take care of
them. A case recorded OF a snipe,
both of whose legs had been broken by
misdirected shot, is the most inter-
-esting example of snipe surgery. The
poor creature contrived to apply dress
ings of feathers and sort of splint
to both legs, but unfortunately, in do
ing SO, it's beak got wound fast with
feathers, and as it could not use it's
claws to get rid of them and open it's
mouth, it was nearly dead from hunger
when it was found. In another case
snipe that few away with q broken
leg was afterwards found to have
forced the fragments into parallel
position and secured them by q liga-
ture of a kind Of tlat-leaved grass
wound around the limb spirally and
fixed by " glae-ii.se substance. Dem

Row Oat-Meai IS iv,aus.


The manufacture of oatmeal from
oats is very different from the making
Of hour from wheat. The cleaning pro-
cesses in the first place involve much
more labor and require moro time and
machinery, the oat kernel being in
numbered with it's hull and more bulky
ana difficult to separate from foreign
substances. After cleaning and before
hulllng. the oats are dried by heat. an
operation demanding still more special
machinery, and requiring time and
careful attention. Aftor drying they
are cooled and sent to the hullers.
These are stones with a sharp grit, and
tho hulling process must be carefully
managed, as it is important to avoid
breaking the kernel. Good machinery
is required for all these operations. In
preparing the meal from the kernels
tho rolling process has almost entirely
superseded the former method of steel
cutting, as the rolled meal may be
cooked much quicker. requiring less
than one-quartor OF the time needed for
the cut meal. Good Housekeeping.

A Harvard Student Who Supports Himself

Spending Sunday recently with a
friend in delightful summer resort,
we happened to he sitting on the ver-

The milkman. a sturdy young fellow
of pleasant face, dismounted, rang a
bell by way of warning to the maids
of the vicinity to get their pitchers
ready, and then started around with
his cans and his pint measure. AS he
passed around to the back door of the
cottage. our friend saluted him as one
gentleman salutes another. And when
the milkman had gone. the other said:
'That young man is a member of

'Indeedr"
"Yes. He is carrying himself
through entirely by his own exertions,

COUNTRY AND CITY.

Why tho Farming Population Is Entitled
to Every Body's Respect.
Some city people have acquired a
most unfortunate habit of sneering at
and ridiculing the country and country
people. 1t is not the active, successful
class ofpeople who do this. Such have
TOO much sense, and, besides, a large
proportion of them were themselves
,ountry-born and bred. Any one hav-
ing true appreciation of the Importance
Of the farming population as the basis
of public prosperity can not fail to treat
it not merely with respect, but with
leferonce. Every class has some pc
;uliarities. Those of country people
are such as adapt them to the necessi-
ties Of their life, and it is upon the
workers in the country, rather than
apon idlers anywhere, that the prog
cess of mankind must always be based.
People from the city can learn much
if they will visit the country with eyes
and ears open to discover what is new,
rather than pursue the opposite policy
Of sneering at every thing. May be,
If they will not be too supercilious,
they may find in their unassuming
country friends much of value to be

was down Imboden Fork of Black River,
and thence across the Padted hill and down

P. NJ. we went into camp for the night. The

but, to our dismay. when supper time came
we found that we only had three squirrels
and one bird. Bub Thomas having killed
the bird.
The next morning the chief cooks were up
and had breakfast leady befor it was light
enough to see how to shoot. A little after
daylight we dispersed to try our luck, and
after wandering about until nearly noon we
come into camp and found that we only had
a few squirrels. We then concluded to drive
to better place, rs each one had decided
there wasn't any game in the Padfield re-
gions. We then wento to the Middle Fork
of Black River (via Edge HID and a little

and made it run very fast, and Master Bub

of game, and we had scarcely got out of
sight of the camp when our famous deer
dog, Old Buck, started deer,and after rum

Bub and were there waiting and watching
We both fired at the animal and succeeded in
killing it. We then plunged into the river, |
vaded across and cut it's throat and carried |
it to wagon, and had it hailed into camp. |
We could hardly wait for our companions to
come in to tell about it, as it was the first
deer we had ever shot at. Well, we stald
there until Friday evening and didn't Kill |
