LULLABY.

We've wandered all about the upland fallowh
We've watched the rabbits at their play,
But now good night goodhy to soaring swallows,
Now good night, goodby, dear day.
Poppy heads are closing fast, pigeons circle homo
at last
Sleep. hebchcn, sleep, the bats are calling;
panses never miss the light but sweet baoes
must sleep at might;
Sleep, liebchcn, sleep, the dew is falling
Even wind among the quiet willows
Rests, and the SEA is silent too
See SOFT white linen, cool, such cool white pillows
Wait in the 1lrhlng room for YOU
An the little chicks are still; now the moon peeps
down the hill;
Sleep Hrl,hru. sleep, the owls are h"oting
Ships have hung their anthurms out; little mice
,lar1 creep about;
Sleep lich,,n, sleep, the stars are shooting.

In his autobiography, "Up From Slav-
cry" Booker +. Washington tells an
amusing anccdotr Of an old coIorcd
man who during the days Of slavery
wanted to learn how to play on the gui
tar. In his desire to take guitar les
sons he applied to one of his young
masters to teach Linn. But the young
man, not having much faith in the
ability of the slave to master the gui-
tar at his age, sought 10 discourage
him by telling him: "UnClr Jake, ! will
give You guitar lessons, But Jake, |
will have to charge you $3 for the first
lesson. 81 for the second lesson and 81
for the third lesson, But ! viii charge
you only - cents for the last lesson
Uncle Jake answered; "All right
boss. hires YOU on dem terms. But,
boss, wants yer to be sure an give me
dat las lesson first"

ENGlAND'S FIRST SHIP.
Great Harry Was the Country's Pro-
mter EiIhting Machine.

mter Fighting Machine.
OF tho first ship, properly speaking,
of the British navy, known as the
Great Harry, the following particu-
lars arc given in an old number of the
Mechanics Magazine, dated oct. 20,
1898:
The Great Harry WAS built by King
Henry VII ut n cost of tl4,OOO, and
was burned ut Woolwicl, through acct
dent, in 1;n,%.
Though King Henry, as well as
other princes, hired many ships, OK
elusive of those which the different
scaportS were obliged to furnish, he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought Of avoiding this neon
vcnicnce Ivy raising such Il force as
might be at all times sufficient for the
service of the state Historians tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
to he put in a condition to protect the
british coasts against all foreign inNa-
SionS, and that in the midst OF pro
found peace he always kept w fleet
ready to act.
In August, 1912, the Regent, ship
of LOCO tons, which was ut that time
the largest vessel in the British navy,
was burned, and to replace it the
Great Harry, or, rs it was also known,
the Henry Grace de Diru, was built In
1IlI.
The vessel of about 1000 tons bur
den. was manned Ivy $40 soldiers, "ol
marines and - gunncrS. She had four
maSts and portfolios ON both decks and
in other parts.
Before the time Of her construction
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the PROV and poop. one De
charges, a French builder ut Brcst, is
said to have invented portholrs
In list of the British navy, as 1t
stood on Jan. ), 1913, the Great Harry
Is said to have carried 10 brass and lO'
iron pieces Of ordnance.
The name of the ship Is supposed to
have been changed in the reign OF Ed
ward VI 10 Edward, which, on Aug.
81, 1;i;Io, was reported to be still 'in
good case to serve" and was ordered
