Much is said and written nowadays
as to the decadence of the spirit Of poe
try at the present time, but that the
poetical inspiration is still far from ex-
tinct is evidenced by the remarkable
group of poems which appears in the
May Atlantic" CBoston). Any one OF
these four poems alone and singly
would attract deserved attention; their
simultaneous and joint appearance re-
fleets credt upon the conductors OF the
atlantic" and renders still more en-
phatic the different phases of poetic
feeling which they exemplify. Or
these poems two are Of American, and
two Of English authorship: three are by
men, one by woman: and their scope
and character of subject and treatment
are as varied as their origins. Henry
Newbolt whose "Admirels All was
considered to be the best new English

Good wine needs no bush" meaning
that a good thing can make it's way
without advertising or horn blowing is
not sound gospel in these days of de-
partment stores and newspapers but
it's pedigree is quite clear. 1t was -
custom in England several centuries
ago, to put an ivy bush as a sign out
side of taverns, or private houses, by
the roadsidee,e where travellers cOui,l
be regaled with wine and beer The
custom still survives in some parts of
Gloucester, especially on festival 0cca-
siOns.
."I'll cook your goose for you,' an
other old friend, was born when Eric,
the warrior King of Swenden, had the
habit of fighting everybody that came
along. He laid siege once to town
which he hadn't the force to capture.
and the inhabitants had some fun at
his royal expense by hanging goose
from the walls on a pole. Eric re-
turned later with reinforcements and
when the heralds bawled their chal-
lenge from the towers, he announced
that he 'had come to cook their
goose" which he did.
..To show the white feather" has ref
erence to game birds. The presence of
white feather in a game-bird gener-
ally indicates cross-breed. In fact, no
game-cock has one, and as the insep-
arability of pluck and good breeding
in the animal world is generally ad-
mitted, so also is the converse, and the
presence of the white feather is re-
garded as sign of lack of courage.

DASH DOWN A PLANE.
\ Barney and Three Cars smashed Into
Kindiing wood.

An accident occurred Mt the Mahauoy
Plane at 3 o'clock this morning 10y which
the hosting barney aud three ears were de-
molishod. Some railroad track was torn up
and other damage caused, but no person was
injured.
The barney was hoisted up the plane with
three loaded roll ears and was about reaching
the tip when the hosting rope pulled out OF
the socket. The barney and cars went down
the plane with lightning rHpidity, but kept
on the rails all the way down. The mo.
mentum was so great that ut the bottom the
barney and cars cleared the barney hole and
sped on to the main tracks, where they
crashed over rails and sills for several yards
and then toppled over n mass of s]plintcrs and
scrap iron. The wreckage blocked the
southbound track, but the other track was
clear and traffic ON the main line was not
delayed.
