The Song Of Ships.

Tho sky made a whip of the winds and Isshsd
the sea into fcam,
And the keen-blowing gales tore the flags and
the sails of the ships that were plunging
home;
OF the ships that were tossing home on the black
and billowy deep,
But who shall reach to the wrecks, the wrecks,
where the ships and their captains sleep,
Oh wrecks, by the black seas tossed.
In the desolate ocean nightsi
Lost, lost, in the darkness lost
In sight O. the harbor lightsi
The sky made a vale o. the clouds, and q scourgs
o the lightning red.
And the blasts bowed the masts of the ships
that Jared where love and the seagulls led:
OF the ships that were nearing home with love for
the waiting breast;
But where is the love that can reach to the
wrecks where the ships and their captains
rest
OH ships Of our love, wave-toesed
In the fathomless ocean nightsi
Lost. lost in the blackness! lost
In sight o the harbor lights!
There was once ship of my soul that tossed
Ger stormy sea-
And this was my prayer, when the nights
gloomed drear: "Send my souls ship safe
to mel
Send my souls ship safely home from biIlows
and blackened skiesi'
But where is the soul that can reach to the
depth, the depths where my souls ship
lies?
Oh, ship of my soul. storm-tossed
In the far and the fearful nights,
Lost, lost, in the blackness lost
In sight Of the harbor lights!

Making the Most of That Half Year.
from the Chicago HeraldI


Heroes do not always die on baf tlefelds.
We all know that, but now and then the truth
OF the statement is exemplified in "a manner
that is forceful. One evening there came into
the room where sat beautiful woman.
tastefully attired. Her eyes were un naturally
brilliant, and in her cheeks there famed a
color like stain OF blood. recognized her
at once as a well-known and highly successful
teacher in one OF Chicagos public schools.
There was something about her appearance
that surprised me, for heretofore upon the oc-
casions when we had met she had been
notable for the plainness. not to say the shah
biness. of her attire The rich velvet OF the
cape she wore aud the feathers on her elegant
hat caused me to exclaim:
"Why, how handsome you look What
have you struck?''
.Deathi'' was the answer. "Thr doctors
have told me to-day that / have an tncurable
disease and cannot possibly live longer than
six months. have scrimped myself all my
lie to save money to buy books and cultivate
my mind am through with all that now 1
am going to take hand at the material pleas
ures. If 1 have but a half year to live III
live royalty"
Since that time she has wasted rapidly, but
the room where she lies is full flowers and
objects of beauty. The gowns she wears are
creations of beauty, and she allows no mourn
ing nor any aliusion to her fate in her pres
ence. She faces death with an absolute hero
ism that makes one want to applaud rather
than to weep. This manifestation is not so
grand as the manifestation of moral courage
might be. but there Is something about it
which makes the blood tingle bit.

HOLY CITY IN MINIATURE.
London's jewelers. Model Of the New
Jerusalem ms Described by ST. John.

London's jewelers. Model of the New
Jerusalem MS Described by ST. john
A model piece of jewelry is thar recently
put together by an establishment in New
Bond street, London. 1t is a model of the
holy city or New Jerusalem, as described by
St. John in chapter xxi of the Book OF Rev.
elation. The gates Of the city are Of pearl,
and In the walls are'set real gems to form the
twelve foundation stones in exact accordance
with the evangelists description. Pearl sum-
mits surmount the buttresses ofpure gold. and
the figure of the Lamb. set with diamonds, is
seen over tie pearl gateway.
Rev. Canon Benham delivered short lee
turs on the model to large and distin-
guished audience. in the course of which he
discussed the question OF the proper transla-
tions Of the Hebrew names OF the various
precious stones. which generally suggested
their color. and thus gave reason Nr the mod
ern equivalents mentioned in the authorized
version of the Scriptures. subsequently,
dealing more particularly with the model OF
the New Jerusalem. he described the precious
foundation stones to each of which an ale
gorical meaning was probably attached, as
well as to the gates Of pearl. the latter being
considered in ancient times the most precious
of gems,

In the heat of my feelings had gone fur

champagne. Tho cotton man wouldn't be
back for several days, and wrote to him
about 1t. He couldn't imagine who was
sending him champagne, and advised me TO
open the box. He even told me to sample 1t,
he was SO sure 1t couldn't be champagne In
side, neatly cassd in straw, were dozen bot
ties OF French-labeled and tin-foiled bottles
Of cottonseed oil: The bottles were work
Of art In their way. The labels were gilt and
had q fine French irm name. It seems that
our cotton man had written to firm out in
Arkansas. at Little Rock, think. to send him
samples Of their cottonseed oil manufacture.
They didn't quite understand how they were
to be used and had shipped them in this man
ner. We took of the labels and tin foils and
marked them as a sample Of cottonseed oil
for table use
''The Department Of Agriculture hardly
thought 1t would be the correct thing to send
French olive oil made from American cotton
seed to the Paris Exposition. even II it would
not be detected. Now peanut oil, it has been
shown, will be certainly equally as good as
cottonseed oil when refined.
ALL FROM LITTLE SEED.
''You perhaps know something Of tho bis
tory Of cotton seed in this country. Fifteen
years ago cotton seed was an entire waste.
None of it was used for any purpose whatso-
ever except possibly in reseeding. Ten years
ago little crude cottonseed meal was used
US cattle food. At present our consumption
Of the seed for food and other purposes is
one Of the principal sources of southern
wealth.
'The Roober Is still joke with US. Fifteen
years from now IL we take advantage Of its
possibilities 1t will be "a much a serious thing
as cotton seed is. Virginia, Maryland. the
Carolinas, Florida, and all the Gulf states-in
fact, practically all the states south OF and in
cluding Pehnsyivania-are perfectly adapted
to the raising Of peanuts. OF course it would
be found that some could raise more than
others. Perhaps Virginia and the Carolinas
would do best with the industry. The crop
is something like $50 bushels to the acre. 1
believe, which, as you see. would yield a large
return, especially when the retineries are fully
understood and used"
Mr.. Hill more or less represents the enthu-
siasm of the Agricultural Department on the
subject Of peanuts. They are, as ne said,
making Investigations. and will as soon as
possible give the results to the public.
