TIL: MIRACLE.

The bells Of hope to him rang clear,
The pride of youth reigned in his heart,
He scoffed at failure, dread. and fear.
Valiant was he to serve his art.
my pen shall speak to all mankind;
The world shall know my fame" he
said.
He wrote. The world to him was blind,
His message, from its birth, lay dead.
Mature, he labored on in faith,
While kindness took the place Of pride;
His dream Of fame became a wrath
That Knocked him in the eventide.
my pen shall speak but to the few
The few that value WORTH" he said.
He wrote. The little wo1d he knew
Spoke fair, but left his words unread
When years had stolen faith and hope,
When fame seemed worthless in his
eyes.
The aged man, misanthrope,
ForsoOk his quest Of honor's prize.
my pen shall speak to one alone
I'll write but fAr myself" he said.
lie wrote. And from his heart the stone
OF failure vanished as he read.
And then miracle was done.
The thing he wrought, for secret store
Went to the world. and one by one
Elusive hOnOrs sought his door.
Il wrote the tale my heart found true,
Unmindful Of the. WORLD" he said.
And as he passed from mortal view
Fame placed her wreath upon his head
Success.

The Navy Department Is encounter
Ing difficulty in securing enough sea-
men and apprentices to man all its war
ships. This naturally is source of an
noyance and Inconvenience to the naval
officials, for the navy is growing. and
1t is impossible even now to put all the
completed warships in commission. be-
cause of lack Of enough skilled men and
officers to navigate them. The difficulty.
however. is not surprising. 1t is not
strange that young men should prefer
to be civilians and follow business pur-
suits In piping times of peace. The pay
offered to men in the navy is smaller
than that Of employees in the majority
Of industrial and commercial pursuits.
The factory, the farm and the business
Office are seeking bright young men as
eagerly as the navy Is, and are bidding
higher for them. The country is pros
porous and can offer good wages to
every able-bodied man who is willing
to work. If there We're a large contin-
gent of unemployed, the task of the
naval recruiting officer would be easier.
So long as ambitious young men have
SO much better prospect Of making
their fortunes on land than on the deck
Of warship, it is to be expected that
the work of recruiting for the navy will
be slow. If there We're prospect of war
there would soon be a rush to enlist,
for the present reluctance is not due to
any lack of patriotism or of bravery.
But the American youth does not take
kindly to the dull routine life Of
man -of-war in time Of peace. He pre-
fers to be in the thick of the fray at all
in the business world, as are also the
rewards and promotions.

There is reverse side to the SEM
plahce OF luxury expressed by the mir
rors, the gliding, the velvet carpets of
many apartment and boarding houses.
Inc head of the lace department in a
great store recently spent her two
weeks vacation in hospital. She
laughed at the idea of being i'll or even
nervous; but she was tired, and for ten
years had not slept in a real bed. In
one apartment house, in order to keep
her room fitted to receive callers, she
slept on sofa that opened in the mid
Ole. and had neither sides nor foot
board. Six out Of seven nights the COW
ers pulled off her feet. At another
place her folding-bed fell on her and
nearly killed her, so she traded it for a
narrow divan, from which pillows and
blankets slipped nightly. At the hos
pital she finally found a bed wide
enough to sleep in crosswise, a bed by
day as we'll as by night a bed tuck
able, with bolster and counterpane;
and she stayed in it for two weeks. In
countless cases the make believe bed Is
the symbol of sham and comfortless
existence for which apartment life is
largely responsible.

The safe navigation Of the air Is con-
fidently spoken of as one of the
achievements which this new century
will witness. At present the efforts of
Inventors are largely spent on the de-
velopment Of some form of dirigible
airship of the nature of balloon or
self-elevating and self-supporting gas
bag, with propelling motor and steer
ing apparatus attached. 1t must lie adj
mitted that last years experiments by
Count Won Zeppelin on Lake Con-
stance, and the recent success to be
ascribed to NJ. Santos Dumont, in spite
of the mishap which in his voyage
around the Eiffel Tower In Paris
brought his airship to earth when VIC
tory was almost within his grasp, are
evidences Of great progress along this
line 1t is in another direction, how.
ever, that the true solution Of the prob
lem lies, according OF the opinion of
most eminent physicists. Nature sug-
gests that the true method will follow
the model Of bird flight, and that the
successful airship will be in the nature
of an aeroplane based on principles
identically the same as those underly-
ing the flight of birds. Experiments In
this field are risky and have proven
fatal-to Lilienthal and others-but
have already demonstrated that the
aeroplane awaits only the invention of
some automatic balancing device to
render 1t one of the greatest maryels
Of human genius. Prof. A. g. Bell. the
inventor of the telephone, has said: II
do not believe that the great problem
Of aerial navigation win ever be solved
by balloons. While you may successful-
" navigate balloon in light currents,
it 10 obvious that any floating body
lighter than air is at the mercy Of the
winds. Such body cannot carry the
motive machinery Of great power. It

Ono or Nature,s Tricks.

1t is well known that many insects
bear d close resemblance to leaves,
