THE SONG THE KETTLE SINGS.

Sweet are the songs by lovers sung
AS they the old, old story tell,
And sweet the Groom of bees among
The clover blossoms and asphodel,
And glad the notes the skylarks triIl
ct dawn upon their buoyant wings,
But dearer, softer. better still
The low, sweet song the kettle sings
How strangely come to us again
The pleasant scenes of other days;
The happy golden moments when
We went our simple childish ways-
When all life's journey lay before
And gayly beckoned us with smiles,
Ere we had left our fathers door
TO go the many weary miles.
There by the broad, deep fireplace sit
The aged ones with silvered hair:
Across each face the flashes fit
And faded cheeks grow flushed and fair,
And strangely mingle smile and tear
AS memory in fondness brings
The old, old days the while they hear
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
The embers throw their ruddy gleam
On childish figures blithe and free
Tha. watch the changing glow, and dream
Of wondrous things that are to be.
4ue lulutt one Slll Cillule Vi bcA!S
OF golden bells, hope ever rings,
And through their music strangely wells
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.
Oh, all the joys my heart has known
And all The hopes Of those to be
Within the kettles gentle tone
On gracious wings are borne to me,
And gladness which my care beguiles
Comes bubhiing UP from youthful springs,
And whispers from the peaceful isles
Are in the song the kettle sings.
Would you become youth again
Back in that dear old home once rnore2
Trade all the wisdom sorry men
May have for chi!dhood's happy lore?
Oh, would you feel he morning dew
Of rest upon life's tired wings?
Then dream with NE and listen to
The low, sweet song the kettle sings.

HE INDIVIDUALITY OF TIE HAIRPIM
Every Woman Knows Her Own, just as
She KNOWS H..l O1sn Esby.

Every Woman Knows Her Own, just as
She Knows Her Own E.by.
Five hundred millions of hairpins
That is what the women Ct this
land do annually buy, beg CT borrow.
Now hairpin never wears out 1t
sometimes becomes pale and bent
with age, but its avoirdupois is all
there What therefore becomes Of
these successive millions?
During the past ten years 5,ooo:-
oG0, eco Of hairplns have been made
and sold. At present there are only
about 100, coo, ,OGO in circulation.
Now where-where are the other
!, 300, 600, 600? They have been sown
broadcast from Maine to California,
and have left not a trace behind
OF course some of them are picked up
and restored to their sphere Of use
fulness, but most women are as shy
of adopting strange hairplns as they
are Of accepting an unidentified
toothbrush. The hain,pins therefore
go to make up the flotsa1n and jet
sam thrown cut by the tide Of hui
manity and dumped into the waste
places Of the suburbs to form new
town lots
And, speaking Of haiEl1ins hecon-
ing pale with age, why is 1t that
when package Of new ones can l,c
bought for q few cents most women
cling to their cd ones until every
vestige Of color has gone, and lie
who runs may easily count their
cleaning heads?
And, again, can any one explain
how it is that every woman knows
her own hai1plns just as she kaovs
her own baby, no matter how n1s-
merous and similar its companions?
And, furthermore. all women have
at least one pet haiTpin. It Is re
garded with religious care from
year to year. 1t is the keystone il
the construction Of icr coiffT.u1e.
Other generations Of lail12i,os come
and go, but that particular one Is
looked after too zealously to be lost
Generosity, flien'shlp, tilial doyo
tion-nothing is strong enough TO
induce a woman to part with l:er
treasure. She Will laugh ard Offer
you her entire stock, but VIII reserve
her pet. Every boarding school giIl
can tell how she has rescued her par
ticrlar hairpin JOY from the bureau
nay, from the very locks Of some
friend who had ahstracted it.
There are a gre;,t many points Of
resemblance between a Ea;rpin an:
man. A hairpin, fer instance, is
sort Of a bipel. So is man-some
times a very bad sort, Some ha1'
pins are straight, some crooked-a
resemblance to men which need not
be pointed out Extreme sharpness
and extreme bluntness are equally as
disagreeahle in hai;rins as in ma 5c;l-
line manners. Both are very unre-
llable-not likely to stay where they
are put. And last, but by no means
least, both are made for women. 1t
is The reason for their existence, and
but for her they would languish on
the top shelves OF utter neglect

Blocdiess italian Battles.

As a rule the art of war was prac-

Spread Of the English Language.

In 100 years the United States will
probably have as many inhabitants
as China, and it is not likely that
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and
the Cape viii fall much short OF half
their total, especially if England be
reckoned with them Some have in
deed been found to maintain that
English will not be the language Of
the whole even of the United States,
while others point to the vigorous
vitality Of the French spoken 10y the
French Canadians and the revTjl'les
cence of the Welsh in the British
islands as hints that languages die
hard But it is impossible to sup
pose that such considerations can af

What IL Farmer Accomplished.

From farmer in Virginia some
years ago received a request that
he might send me a package OF col
ored sketches OF w.ld flowers and
that would verify o,' rectify hi, de
termination of their names
Inquiry developed the fact that be
had reached adult age rs q farmer
when he began to feel the need of
some subject of thought and interest
outside Of his daily work.
Without any scie1lti help or
knowledge he set about collecting
and naming the birds Of the Shenan=
doah valley. Not satisfied with
stuffed specimens he conceived the
idea of painting the birds he collect
ed. With no artistic knowledge OF
instruction be ordered paints and
brushes and set himself at work, and
today there are very few artists in
the country who can paint birds
with so much Of artistic. grace and
scientific accuracy as he.
After a few years. having trans
ferred to paper all the birds Of the
region, he procured a ''Gray's Man
ual' and began to study the plants
Of the valley, first determining their
names and then painting them He
accordingly sent on package OF
colored sketches, artistically attract
i've and SO true to nature that there
was not the slightest doubt as to any
of the $50 species represented, While
his own unassisted determinations
were so accurate that not a dozen
names needed to he altered Pro
