POETRY.
THE SEA.

l am the sea. l hold the land
AS one holds an apple in his hand.
Hold 1T fast with sleepless eyes,
watching the continents sink and rise.
Out OF my bosom the mountains grow.
Back to my depths they crumble slow
The earth is helpless child to me-
| am the sea.
L am the sea. When | draw back
Blossoms and yerdure follow my track,
And the land l leave grows proud and
fair,
For the wonderful race of man is there.
And the winds of heaven wall and cry
While the nations rise and reign and
die
Living and dying in folly and pain,
Whlle the laws OF the universe thunder
in vain.
What is the folly of man to me?
| am the sea.
| am the sea. The earth sway;
Granite to me is potter's s clay;
Under the touch of my careless waves
1t rises in turrets and sinks in caves
The iron cliffs that edge the land
l grind to pebbles and swift to sand,
And beach grass bloweth and children
play
In what were the rocks of Yesterday
1t is but moment of sport to me-
| am the sea.
| am the sea. In my bosom deep
Wealth and wonder and beauty sleep:
Wealth and wonder and beauty rise
In changing splendOr of sunset skies,
And comfort the earth with rains and
snow
Till waves the harvest and laughs the
rose.
Flower and forest and child of breath
With me have life, without me, death.
What if the ships go down in me-?
l am the sea-

THEY WERE READY.-Oneo of the

on the subject of fire, says the Free
Press, and when he called around
with the Examining Board he always
confined his remarks to question
addressed to the pupils as to what
they would do In case the building
should catch fire.
The teacher was acquainted with
his hobby, 80 she prompted her schol-
ars as to the answer they should give
when he arose to PROFOUND his ac-
customed inquiry.
When the board called, however,
this particular trustee. perhaps from
desire to emulate his associats in
their addresses, rose and said:

Thackeray the great English novelist
loosely told his American guest to "go

Victor Hugo's dramatic instinct en-
abled him to draw as well as to write,

Max Nordau, on the contrary, charac-

ple." And such is fame.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps considers "a
short story, properly fitted for the
higher magazines of our day, as one of
the very finest forms of expression. No
inspiration is too noble for it; no

il. There is future for the short
story, which all our experiments and
achievements are building with grad

A WOMAN IN IT.

Although men regard trousers ~
their special property, these garments
we're first invented and worn by wom-
en-. Men first adopted trousers about
$50 B. G. and they had to run the
gauntlet Of chatting and jokes as do the
women nowadays who essay boomers
and knickerbockers.
1t was a woman and Chinese en-
press at that who first took note of the
product of the silkworm and perfected
a method for utilizing it. Her name
was See Heig and she lived about $500
years B. C. 1t is to her we owe that de-
lightful fabric in oil it's many varia-
tons. Women also nearly monopolize
the industry Of designing for silk fab

A machine for manufacturing dim

or elbow may now be had for the ask
ing-and the price. Whether the man.
ufactured dimples will degenerate into
wrinkles like the real ones time will
develop.
Nineteen years after the patent office
was established in Washington the first
patent was issued to woman, Mary
Klies, who secured it for a method OF
weaving silk or thread with straw
This was in 1909. Six years later Mary
Brush patented the corset. During the
war quite number of patents were is
sued to women and most of them were
for contrivances for nursing or fight
ing. Since that time the number o.
feminine applicants for patents has in
creased Mt a large rate. At the present
time about 900 women take out patent:
year. They are mostly not orig
inal, but attachments to some device
previously existing.
