THE LEE RIFLE.
An Improved Weapon That May De
Adopted by the Navy.

Lee rifle that has been for
adoption for the nav by the export board,
which has devoted a year to comparison
of different weapons, has some features
Of novelty which it is expected will prove
to be of great value. 1t has fewer parts
than any other satisfactory weapon, and
can probably be made more cheaply, in ad-
dition to being much easier to repair, clean
and handle. 1t has a straight bolt. and all
that is necessary to reload it is to pull
the bolt straight back and return. This
does away with the ugly half turn, which
it is necessary to give in the case Of all the
other bolt guns to release the bolt, a mo-
ton unnatural and difficult. AS a result,
1t is also possible to shoot the entire mag

Little BOy Blue.

Little boy Blue.
The little toy dog is covered with dust,
But sturdy and Staunch he stands;
nd the little toy soldier is red with rust,
and his musket mOulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
..Now, don't go till come" he said,
And don't you make any noiss.'
So toddliDg off to his trundle bed
He dreamt OF his pretty toys.
md as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue.
Oh. the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
A waiting the touch of n little hand,
The smile of little face.
And they wonder. as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Upon a mountain height, far from the sea,
1 found a shell.
And to my listening ear the lonely thing
Ever a song of ocean seemed TO sing,
Ever a tale of ocean seemed to tell
How came the shell upon that mountain
height:
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some toe .areless
hand,
Or whether there cast when Ocean swept
the Land?
Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day?
Strange, was it not? Far from its native
deep,
One song il sang
Sang OF the awful mysteries of the tide,
Sang OF the misty sea. profound and Wide
Ever with echoes of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain height
Sipgs of the sea.
So 60 I ever, leagues and leagues away
So do l ever, wandering where L may
Sing. o my home! sing, o my home! OF
