A Baby's Reflections.

I'm very little baby,
Little face and hands and feet
And my mother says she never
Saw baby half SO sweet.
It's nice TO hear them talking
In that way. but l can see,
Oh, a lot of little babies
Who all look and laugh like M.
When look out of the window
There's a baby in the glass.
And he waves his hand as 1 do
To the people as they pass;
When l put out hands to touch hin
And pat him on the cheek,
He will look and act as do,
But he'll never, never speak.
There's baby in the mirror,
There's baby in the spoon,
And there's one in front of mother
When we play little tune.
These are very funny babies,
Where so they always come
But I never hear them talking
So / guess they're deaf and dumb

Things Immortal.

The pure, the bright. the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulse of 4 wordless prayer,
The dream of love and truth.
The longing Of after something lost,
TIE restless spirits cry,
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A.brOther in his need
The kindly word in griefs dark hour,
That proves a friend indeed;
The plea of mercy softly breathed
When justice threatened high,
The sorrow of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory Of clasping hand,
The pressure of kiss,
And all the trifes sweet and frail,
That make up life's first bliss;
If, with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust and high,
We feel and act the better part
These things can never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Can find some work to do;
Lose not chance to awaken love,
Be firm and just and true.
So shall light that cannot fade
Beam on the form on high,
And angel voices whisper thee:
These things shall never die.

Adverse criticism has been pronounced
upon the pneumatic guns with which the
United States man-Of-war Vesuvius Is
supplied. The objections which have
been advanced by American and foreign
naval officers are that ship trusting to
guns of this type could be riddled and
sunk by modern high power rified ordi-
nance before it could get within range;
that the gun is too bulky and cumber
some for use on board of ship, and that
accuracy of fire cannot be depended upon
in sea way. An exhaustive trial, how
ever, will be made before undertaking the
construction of another dynamite cruiser.
These charges against the utility of the
gun on shipboard will no; stand against
its use on shore, where most of the OBJ
iections will be overcome by the aveila-
bility of space.

there will probably be a boom in the

that will result from it.
