The following article from the Youths

makes graveyard of her hat, as so many
have done the past year.
The SLAUGHTER or THE eULLs.
Twice every twenty four hours, as the feet Of
garbage scows creeps down the bay from New
York city, thousands of white specks begin to
gather In the sky. Each one Is a gull and when
the dumping grounds are reached and the
scows discharge their burden, vast white
cloud of birds descends upon the sea.
Those who have once seen this sight know
why 80 little garbage Is washed back upon the
beach. The gulls are scavengers, performing
every day q sanitary service of great impor-
lance. VIVA, they do in New York bay they are
constantly doing on a smaller scale In every
harbor on the coast; and without their useful

Talk happiness. The world is sad enough
Without your woes. No path Is wholly rough
Look for the places that are smooth and clear.
And speak OF those to rest the weary ear
OF earth. so hurt by one continuous strain
OF human discomfort and . REF and pain.
Talk faith. The world Is better on without
Your uttered ignorance and morbid DOUBT.
If you have faith in God or man or self,
Say so; II not, push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thoughts TIL faith shall come
No one will grieve because your lips are dumb.
Talk health. The dreary, neverendinE tale
OF mortal maladies is worn and staie.
You cannot charm. nor interest. nor please,
By harping on tina; minor chord. disease.
Say you are well, or all is well with you.
And Sod shall hear your words and make them
true.

Make time for serious thoughts. Let
