TAere a No mcmens when our dead lose powsRs
IJnsignalcd, unannouncsd they visit -.
Who cAlleth them know not Sorrowful
They haunt reproAchfully some venal hour
In days OF JOY, and when tho world b near
And for a moment scourgo with memories
The money changers Of the temple soul
In the dim space between two CULTS OF sleep
Or In the stiffness Of the lonely shore,
They rise for balm or torment, sweet OF sad.
And most are mine where. in the kindly woods
Beside childlike Joy OF summer streams
The stately sweetness or the pine hath power
To call their kindred comforting anew.
Use well thy dead. They come to ask Of thee
What thou hast done with all this buried love
The seed of purer life? Or has it fallen unused
In stony ways and brought thy life no gainl
Wilt thou with gladness in another world
SAY it has grown to forms of duty done
And ruled thee with q conscience oot thine
own:
Another world! How shall we find our dead.
What forceful law shall bring Us face TO face?
Another world! What yearnings there shall
guide?
VIII love souls twinned OF love bring near
again?
And that one common bond Of duty held
This living and that dead when life was theirsf
Or shall some stronger soul. in life revered.
Bring both TO touch. with natures certainty
As the pure crystal atoms Of its kinds
Draws into fellowship of loneliness?

the manager of the theater that after
noon, and he had been told to come to
the theater and his name would be LEI;

Unfortunately he entered too much
into details. He told me that his name
was Leslie, and he was leader writer
and subeditor of The Morning Wire. As
knew nv manager was rather in the
habit of giving these somewhat vague
invitations to the theater, thought il
better to err on the side Of pohteness. 50
gave Mr.. Leslie the ticket for the box.
and he thanked me and said he would
go to q neighboring restaurant where
his friends were dining and bring them
ON to the theater.
AS the principal piece was commenc-
ing saw Mr.. Leslie enter the theater
and go to his box accompanied by a
well dressed party-two ladies and a
gentleman thought nothing more of
this, but about 10 o'clock who should
come into my room but the son of the
proprietor Of The Morning Wire on his
way from the Office. Of an evening he
sometimes used to drop into my room
and have q chat with me- While talk

denied, and my friend wanted to give
the impostor in charge at once, but /
asked him to be quiet and sit still in my
room while l sent a note up to Mr. Les

After the curtain was down Mr.. Leslie

CooCa for SOIdIcrs' breakfast =.

The youth and health of our home army
are an important study. 1t has been
pointed out by Lieutenant Colonel Allsopp
and others in our columns how it is posi-
bic at minimum Of cost to do much to inn
prove the physique Of the young lads who
compose it, Free rations do not include
tea and breakfast; these the soldier finds
from his pay. All our readers are aware
that no one in civil or military life com.
mences an excursion with "a sinking stom
ach."
Experience enables Lieutenant Colonel
Allsopp to stat that few thinao promotes
briefly and discipline, improve the health
and physique Of our young soldiers more
than an early ration of cocoa and biscuits
before the morning drill. The best cocoa
must be used-it goes the farthest. We
recommend cocoa; it is easily prepared as
Stimulates in the stomach without milk or
sugar and is very nutritious. This is II
modest and practical reform. We invite
the war minister to consider its adoption
as an additional incentive to recruiting a
sure and certain method Of ameliorating
the physical welfare Of the British soldier,
and thereby promoting contentment in the
ranks.-Brtish Medical journal.

Neglect OF Duty.

Willful neglect of duty on the part OF
any employee, in whatever capacity, is
nothing less than a crime-especially when
that carelessness endangers life. Michael
Connolly was arraiyned at Liverpool for
having neglected his duty in such a way
as to endanger the safety Of the steamship
City of New York. He had allowed the
water in one Of the three boilers of which
he was in charge to become very low; in
fact, so low that there was no water in the
gauge glass ut all. This of course greatly
endangered the ship. The defendant in.
sisted that he had been instructed to work
on not more than two inches Of water, and
that the water ran out in a very short
time, SO quickly that it had escaped his
notice.
The result Of the trial was that Connolly
was disratel to the station of an ordinary
fireman, which, considering that his care
lcssness had endangered the lives of hun
dreds and property to the value of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, was a very
light sentence indeed. Just as the small
est wheel of a watch is absolutely neces
sary to the perfect working of the chro.
nometer, so the most insignificant employee
on board ship is essential to the welfare OF
the ship. A slip of the tiny wheel may
ruin the watch and bit of criminal care
lessness may result in great calamity

Sailors Weather Wisdom.

Birds are very largely associated with
the weather by seafarcrs. In the English
channel the fishermen regard the fight of
the curlew on dark nights as the certain
precursor of an east wind. The gales of
the spring equinox are called Gowk storms,
because they follow the cuckoo-almost
everywhere regarded as weather prophet.
The appearance of the seamew promises
rain and high southwest winds. Seagulls
in the field mean a storm from southeast
The stormy petrol is bird Of i'll omen.
But all these and other bird traditions may
be traced to old Greek and Roman tradi
tons, and possibly even still further back
Then as to fishes, the appearance OF
dolphins and porposes around a ship is an
old sign of storm. Shakespeare refers to
it, as do several of the old play writers
And again we may find the explanation in
the ancient mythical character of the dol
phin. In old mythology the dolphin typi
lies the moon, and the moon Is the weather
maker An old belief of SAILORS that to cut
the hall and nails during a calm would
certainly bring on a storm is plainly re
ferable to the Greek maxim that the nails
must not be pared before the gods.
