True Victory.

He stood with a foot on the threshold,
And cloud on his boyiSh face.
While his city comrade urged him
To enter the gorgeous place.
There's nothing to fear, old fellow!
1t isn't lions den:
Here waits royal welcome
From lips of the bravest men,"
Twas the old, old voice of the tempter
That sought in the old, old way,
To lure with lying promise
The innocent feet astray.
You'd think it was Blue-beards closet,
To see how you stare and shrink
tell you there's naught to harm you
1t only game and u drink"
He heard the words with a shudder-
It's only game and a drink!
And his lips made bold to answer:
But what would my mother thinks"
The name that his heart held dearest
Had started q secret spring
And forth from the willy tempter,
He fed like hunted thing.
Away! till the glare of the city
And it's gilded halls of sin
Are shut from his sense and vision,
The shadows of night within.
Away! till his feet have bounded
Ger fields where his childhood trod;
Away! in the name of virtue.
And the name of his mothers God!
On the page where the angel keepeth
The record of deeds well done,
That night was the story written
OF a glorious battle won.
And he stood by his home in the starlight
All guiltlesS of sword and shield
A Drawer and nobler victor
Than the hero of bloodest field.

The two islands, ST. Vincent and
Martinique, where the recent disas-
ter from earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions occurred recently, are
about $50 miles southeast of Porto
Rico, and about one hundred miles
apart, with the island of ST. Lucia
intervening. st. Vincent is Is miles

population of $4,000. 1t is a British

cally a volcanic mountain. The
volcano Soufriere, is 4 ,084 feet high.
1t has heretofore caused much
trouble to the island by eruptions
previous to this recent one, notably
in 1912 when as a result 10000 peo-
pie persisted.
The island of Martinique, where
it is estimated 10000 Of the inhabi-

Of all kind provisions of nature
perhaps the manner in which snakes
are brought into the world is
the most remarkable. AS a rule
all harmless snakes are Matched
from eggs, arriving in patches of
from thirty to eighty. The poi
sonous snakes, on the other hand,
are born in filters of from seven
to eleven in number. There are ex-
ceptions to the rule, of course, but
they are few and unimportant, for,
though the deadly king cobra lays
her eggs to be Matched by the sun,
they are few in number, unlike the
colonies deposited by the harmless
