Out she swung from her mornings,
And over the harbor bar,
AS the moon was slowly rising,
She faded from sight and afar,
And we traced her cleaning canvas
By the twinkling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for.
Nor whittier her course would be;
He furture fate was shrouded
In silence and mystery.
She was sailing under sealed orders
And sailing by faith, nor sight.
Keeping the line Of duty
Through good and evil report,

Be the passage long or short;
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall anchor at last in port.

SHAWLS OF SCOTCH WORKERS.
Paisley Weavers Produce Fabrics the
Equal of India's Outputs.

There has recently been a notable
exhibit of Paisley and Indian shawl
at Glasgow, Scotland, which ha,
elected considerable comment on &C
count of the great merits of thu
1abrlcs and their connection with al
| INDUSTRIOUS example of the weaver:
art. In abiding to this exhibit, Johr
Ingram, chairman of the governors o.
| the Weaving College at Glasgow. re
| marked that no products of the loon
have ever equaled the finer examples
Of the Paisley shawl in beauty of de
sign, harmony of color and rare skill
of workmanship. The original home
of the shawl was India. In the val
leys of the Cashmere those strangely
gifted needle artists might have been
seen, centuries ago, evolving from
brain and finger those exquisite crea-
lions Of skill. Some shawls must have
taken years of patient labor to COM
plete. To initiate those shawls in the
loom became the mission Of the Town
of Paisley for two or three genera
lions. The fame Of the Paisley shawl
spread to the most distant corners of
the globe. Their manufacture became
the chief industry of that town, num-
bering at that time $4,000 inhabi-
tants.
AT one time the Paisley shawl was
in universal wear by ladies of highest
degree and by all classes, especially
Snn6aUc hnliIauc
are only cherished as heirlooms, the
requests of a past generation, full of
quick interest to the younger race,
and relics of former fashions and for
mer times. The freshness and bright
ness Of many of the shawls were re-
markable, woven, as they were, fifty,
sixty and seventy years ago ana worn
for many day still looking as fresh
and bright as If they had left the
loom a week ago. Will any present
day fabrics be able to stand such an
ordeal could they be unearthed in the
middle of the twentieth century? The
Paisley weaver and his assistant
"drawboy'' of those early days form a
subject of interesting study. Often,
for weeks together, weaver and draw
boy would be at work from 5 O'Clock
in the morning till 9 at night. AS
craftsmen they have never been
equaled in textile work
The shawl being an article of ia
shlon, there were times of ebb and
flow; periods of great prosperity and
seasons of terrible depressions and
consequent suffering, when the nation
extended a helping hand, as lately
they did for India An incident may
be recalled in the life of Victoria in
such a period of depression in the
history of Paisley. Great suffering
was experienced in the years 1871 and
1912. Her majesty sent for some
examples Of the Paisley shawls. A
selection of 100, made by different
manufacturers, was forwarded to
Windsor. From these eighteen were
chosen and retained. This purchase
and royal patronage becoming known
seemed to have a helpful influence, for
ere long the cloud Of depression drove
past and prosperity came again

PROFOUND CRAFT OF SPIDERS.
They Initiate Stamens of Flowers to
Catch Butterflies.

Then there are the spiders that do

she do? She vanishes. Run? Never.
She vanishes tell you. Stays where
she is, but goes out of sight She
shakes her web so violently that in

look like old things that have been
up two or three months, and then they
get in line with the chips and bits of
bark that they themselves have put
there. The trick of initiating spots
on grass-stems, scales on trees, lichens
and the like, is wonderful. Some
spiders have found it a paying propo-
sition to look like the stamens and

that botanists are deceived. One kind
of a spider spins a little round patch
of white silk on a leaf. 1t sits in
the center. The outer edge of it's
body is light, grayish green merging
into white. In the center of it's body
is dark spot. An entomologist was
once quite curious to know what could
attract butterflies to birds droppings.
He tried to pull one way from it. He
found that he had made the same mis-
take that the butterfly had. The rea-
son why it didn't fly away was that
the spider had hold of it and was
sucking it's blood. Some spiders not
only look like withered flowers lying
on the ground, but have developed a
perfume like jasmine. Some look

ENGLAND's WILD BEASTS.
Elephants, Rhinoceroses and Tigers
Were Once Plentiful There.

A correspondent sends an account
Of an interesting proceeding in which
Mr. Martin A. G. Hinton explained
to the members Of the BirkbecK
Natural History society the results o.
the work done by himself and other
biologists in examining the strata Of
England. Mr.. Hinton, on Saturday,
pointed out TO the members the spots
in a section of the contracted drift in
"the Caulif1ower" brickyard at Ilford
where he and others had unearthed
parts of the skeletons of bears,
elephants and rhinoceroses.
The lecture in the evening was de-
voted to the giving of a summary Of
the results of all the workers in this
line of research. The remains of the
Barbary ape, now found alive only in
Europe of Gibraltar, have been I'd
earthed at Grayes, in Essex. John
Hunter found the skeletons of the
Arctic grizzly and brown bears in Nor

The Lost Trail.

While the drizzle falls on the Shiny
pavement, swelling
The yellow cutters flow,
And the ways are dense with the hosts
Of buying, selling,
And hurrying to and fro,
know that out in the north the
winds are crying
Round the widowed shores of the long
white lakes outlying,
And the black pine woods where my
old lost friends are dwelling,
And the splendor of the snow.
know that mysterious land Of wood
and river,
Where the halfbreed hunters range
The snow wraiths dancing upon the
hill slopes ever.
The gray sun, low and strange,
The bull moose skulking through
windrow and through hollow,
The creak and crunch of raquettes
where the crackers follow,
The dark spruce shades where the
forest dreams forever,
But never dreams of change.
A snowshoe track leads up from the
swamp and over,
Where the otter trappers passed,
To the drifted winter hut in the hem
lock cover
That shields it from the blast;
Are you there, Pierre, Gaultier, as
when we together.
Free in the face of the grim Canadian
weather,
Learned the changeless spell of the
north to hold and love her,
And turn to her at the last?
The snowstorm blindly drives through
the woods to smother
The ancient trail I knew;
The track we b1azed is lost, and never

Has marked that blind way

ruthless mother,
