Our Dear English Cousins.

Somebody has been informing the
London Times that American children
are trained in their higher schools to
exercise the ritual of 'saluting the flag
in military style, and that their mar
tial ardor is by this and other means so
blown into flame that when these young
persons leave their schools they form
themselves into societies and take
vow to avenge with their blood any in
suit to their country's flag" This
somewhat vivid description has excited
the horror of another reader Of the
Thunderer, and he leaps to conclusion
in the following amusing and highly
characteristic style: apparently your
correspondent uses the expression young
person i'll the technical sense of fe-
male creature somewhere between girl
and woman. Does he really desire that
young females of this kind should in
Engla form themselves into societies
to avenge with their blood any insult
to the union jack in Venezuela or else
where? Seriously, / think that the
American example in this, as in some
other things, is to be avoided as degen-
6raGe raGner tndn followed. Ourely our
ancestors managed to conquer at Cressy
and Poictiers and Agincourt, at Blen-
helm and Trafalgar and Waterloo, with
out all this absurd civilian ritual ON the
part of schoolgirls, this religious wor-
ship, or rather idolatry, of the personi-
fed country under the symbol of flag,
and these silly VOWS by young Hanni-
halls IN, patticoatc IF tho reOp1a of tho
United States is really beginning to
worship itself as an abstract unity, it is
sure sign that it is beginning to aban-
don the only true worship, and to retro
grade to mere civic paganism."
The pooK OF Jop, written about 1920
B. c., describes very accurately several
processes of smelling metals.

A VIOLET IN HER HAIR.

A violet In her lovely hair.
A rose upon her bosom fairi
But. oh. her eyes
A lovelier violet disclosed
And her ripe lips the sweetest rose
That's meath the skies.
A lutte beneath her graceful hand
Breathes music forth at her command.
But still her tongue
Far richer music calls TO birth
Than all the minstrel power on earth
Can give to song.
And thus she moves in tender light
The purest ray, where all is bright,
Serene and sweet,
And sheds graceful influence round
That hallows cen the very ground
Beneath her feet.
