AT TWILIGHT,

Out of the dusk, wind-blown and thin,
The shadowy wood-boats gather in,
And twilight bushes the harbor's din
Sleep, little head, on my shoulderl
The gold lights wake through the evening
gray
In the little village beside the bay,
And few cold stars CLEAN far away
Sleep, little head, on my shoulderl
The sailor turns his face once more
Where his sweetheart waits at the opened
door;
The lone light washes the wave-swept
shore
Sleep, little head, on my shoulder!
Here where the dancing shadows swarm
Our driftwood fire is bright and warm;
Beyond our window wakes the storm
Then sleep, little head, on my shoulderl

Two Uses for Money.

Money is what it will do. A piece
of money was seen "doing' what it
was never made for, in front of the
Mail and Express office this morning.
A smoker had cigar and match, but
no convenient place to strike light.
The sole of his shoe was damp, and
he may have had an esthetic reluc-
tance to join that ignoble army that
marks buildings with saltpetre scars.
He fumbled in his change pocket,
found half dollar, struck his match
upon it, and walked away serenely
putting the cigar of the Havana.
Not every wearer of eyeglasses
knows that piece of paper money is
the best thing with which to polish dull
lenses. Sometimes the clean, soft
handkerchief carried for the purpose
fails to remove that blur ON the glass
that so vexes the wearer. A bill of
any denomination, but not too new,
will, if used in place of the linen,
make the lens like crystal in a moment.
The action may look like vulgar os-
tentation of wealth, but it costs moth
ing after all. New York Mail and Ex-

A BAG OF BIG GAME,
Royal Sport Enjoyed by the Guests of an
Indian Prince.


In the Century there is an article
entitled ''After Big Game in Africa
and India" written by H. W. Seton
Karr. Mr.. Karr was guest of the
Maharaja of Kuch Behar in the latter
country, and he describes an exciting
hunt from elephant back He says:
The Maharaja of Kuch Behar ever
Since his youth has always had large
stud of elephants, and hunted in this
way; and since big game is now COM
paratively scarce even in Assam, we
should not have made any bag worth
speaking of if we had not had the ben
eft of his experience. Not more than
plished in one day. Considerable dis
tances had often to be traversed from
one jungle to another, and the inter-
walls were often long and tedious I'M
der an Indian sun; but most of us car
ried books and papers to read while
the elephants were getting into posi-
ton. When the beat had once begun,
however, all ones senses were on the
alert. By the mems turbans, or the
white sunshade Of one of the aidesde
camp bobbing up and down, one could
generally distinguish over the tops Of
the reeds the position of the beating
line in the far distance, and hear an
occasional shout and the shrill trumpet
of an elephant.
In the midday stiffness, broken only
by the constant tapping and tanning
of the elephants huge ears, one can
distinguish the approach and mark
the path of most of the wild animals
by the rustling in the grass and reeds.
But the approach of the panther and
the tiger is heralded by no such sign.
BY experience ones eye becomes
trained to discriminate between the
swaying of the reeds caused by the
wind and that due to the cautious ad-
vance of an unseen beast, whether
deer, boar, bear, or something bigger
still. When tiger or ''rhino" are
known to be athome, such small fry as
these are allowed to pass unharmed,
for fear of turning the object of pur-
suit; but when the larger game are
advancing at full speed, it needs no
expert to distinguish their appalling
crashes from the whispering of a breeze.
Will he break cover in front, or will
the next gun get the shot? Standing
in expectation, with guns loaded and
heart beating, this is the most exciting
moment of the day. The howdah-
elephants being thus placed at inter
walls, and usually out of sight of one
another, one was not always able to
judge by the shots fired as to what
was going on; but was unusually for
tunate in the number of animals

took leave of the Maharaja shortly
before the breaking up of the second
shooting camp, which took place about
month later, in his own country;
but the total bag included seventeen
tigers, seven rhinoceroses, and nearly
forty buffaloes, besides bison, bear
and panther.

The History of Our Flag.

One of the most interesting pieces of
history connected with the American
flag remains to be told. For eighty
nine years after the Stars and Stripes
were adopted, they were made of for
eign goods. All through the War of
1912 and Civil War, no American SOL
dier or sailor ever fought under yard
of American bunting No bunting
was made in this country for two rea-
sons; first, because nobody knew how
to make it, and second, because no.
body could make it and compete with
England. General Butler induced
Congress in 1865 to put a tariff of forty
per cent on bunting, and man was
sent to England to learn how to make
it, and when he returned twelve looms
were put in operation, and then on
February "a, 1866, notable event oc-
Cured in Washington. The first
American flag, made of American
bunting, was hoisted over the National
Capitol. The flag was twenty-one
feet by twelve feet, and was the gift of
General Ben Butler.
We said there were twelve looms en-
gagged in making bunting in 1865;
well, that was good many then, but
in twelve years afterward there were
$4,000 looms making the same article.
Under free trade in bunting we paid
from $25 to $35 bale for the goods,
and under protective tariff the price
fell to $1S for first-class article

The skyline of New York is chang
ing so rapidly that the American trav-
eller who goes abroad can recognize
with more certainty the profiles of the
foreign cities he approaches than that
of his own metropolis as he sees it
from the deck of the steamer on his
return. 1t may be his first visit to
Europe; he may know London, Rome,
and Paris only from views of them in
old prints. But, if he has an eye for
such things, his first glimse of st.
Pauls, st. Peters, or Notre Dame will
tell him to what place he is coming,
for all the world knows these pima
cles, has known them for centuries.
They are as conspicuous and charac-
teristic in the silhouettes of their cities
as they were when they were built.
One of the Dutch Governors of New
Amsterdam, seeking in spirit some
familiar earthly habitation, might find
old Amsterdam, for it cuts the same
figure in the sky to-day that it did
when he left it, but the last dead boss
Of New York, if by any chance he
should get away from where he ought
to be, would search the horizon in vain
for the face of his city. The features
his eye would seek are there: Old
Trinity still stands, its steeple, like
the spires of the old cathedrals, up
lifted high above the earth; but its
solitary prominence is gone. The
modern Office building has risen higher
than the head of the cross, and the
church has lost its distinction. The
enterprise of business has surpassed
the aspiration ofreligion.-From ''The

ANT HOUSES IN AUSTRALIA.
Mounds in Which Millions of the In
sects Live in Perfect Amitys

One mound in particular, a groined
columnar structure, was eighteen feet
high. This was not far from Port
Darwin. The discoverer believes that
originally the mound was conical in
shape. The sides We're smooth. 1t has
evidently been in use for many years
and the columnar effect noticeable, he
believes, is due to the fact that the
ants necessarily travelling the path
ways up and down the mound produc-
ed the grooves that are seen and re-
suited in giving the effect of colum-
mar formation. The entrance to the
mound, examination showed, had var
led in location, for there was distinct
evidence that apertures of this sort
had been walled up in several in
stances.
The interior of the mound referred
to showed as much as anything tile re-
markable instinct of the ants. 1t was
divided up very much after the fash
ion of the tall buildings which are now
becoming so common, with an immense
court within the structure itself-that
10, lIcIe were uuuuTeuS OIL IlUy cells
built in from galleries which were ter
raced one above the other. The gal
ieries were connected by paths or stair.
ways, each of these being constructed
with architectural eXactness. The
cells We're almost uniform in size, and
reminded one the explorer said, of the
cell of a monk. The earth in each in.
stance was as hard and smooth as
marble and bore evidence of long-con-
tinued usage. A portion of the ground
floor, or basement, of the mound had
been divided up into storerooms, and
here it was evident the ants had care.
fully packed away the provender
which they had secured from various
points about.
While naturalists and students of the
intelligence of insects and animals
have long been inclined to believe that
the ant exceeded in at least keenness
of instinct all other creatures of its
kind, it has never been conclusively
shown until demonstrated by the just.
