THE SAILOR BOYS MAscoTs.
A Miscellaneous Collection That He
Takes From the Shore.

Jack Tar is VIGOROUSLY improvident,
and most of our naval seamen, when
they get ashore, spend their money,
be it more or less with lavish hand.
Shore leave is limited to twenty-four
hours, but in that brief time the I'M
restrained sailor manages to run
through about all the cash he carries
with him He plunges into a whirl OF
dissipation and is oftentimes cheated
or robbed Of a good share of his ready
assets. but a percentage of the latter
is also apt to go for anything that hap
pens to strike his almost childish
fancy. Mascots are the seafarer's de-
light, and whatever he may come
across which seems to him to have a
talismanic property he is bound to buy
it if he can. Hence, when the pier
jumpers" as those on shore leave are
technically called, return in wellfilled
barges to the ship and under direction
Of the master-at-arms climb up on deck
they are likely to bring with them a
miscellaneous collection of goats,

One sailor on the Kearsarge, either in
or out of his senses at the time, went
so far as to purchase as a mascot a
colored baby from it's mother for the
sum Of forty cents and came aboard
with it in his arms. He was not al
lowed to retain it, however, and the
child was eventually restored to, the
repentant and hysterical parent
How many Of the mascots may be
kept on board lies within the discre-
ton OF the captain. A liberal policy
is pursued IN this matter. But mani
testify there is a limit to the number
Of those that can be accommodated.
The surplus is sent ashore without de-
lay. When the returned 'pier jump
ers" are lined up while the ships

what dumb creatures may or may not

If the vessel is on her way homeward

are only temporary tenants Of the hold

In all the professions, in>correspond-

the proper and free use of ones Ian
guage is of the very highest impor-
lance, and yet it is one of the things
about which the great majority of
parents are most Indifferent. This
Indifference is due to the fact that
most fathers and mothers do not I'M

While In a grove / sat reclined
In that sweet mood when pleasant
thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me
ran,
And much it grieved my heart to
think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose tufts in that sweet
bower
The periwinhe trailed it's wreaths;
And tits my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hoped and
played
Their thoughts I cannot measure,
But the least motion that they made
1t seemed a thrill of pleasure.
The budding twigs spread out their
fan
To catch the breezy air,
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
From heaven if this belief be sent,
IF such be Natures holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?

and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste
our powers:
Little we e in nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a

the moon;
The winds that will be bowling at all
hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleep

For this, for everything, we r out

It moves us not.-Great God! I'd
rather be
A Pagan sucked in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant

Have sight of Proteus, rising from

Or hear oldRTriton blow his WreGthed

An Interesting Problem.

GLOW old is Amp is a question
that is agitating many people in all
sections of the country. The Dayton,
Ohio, Evening Herald says the prob
lem is a simple one, yet the whole
country is now working on it and
women's clubs promise to take it up.
Here is the problem as printed in
the Dayton paper:
"Mary is "a years old. Mary is
twice as old as Ann was when Mary
was as old as Ann is now. How old
is Amp
Commenting on the problem, the
Herald says:
"Simple, isn't it? Just as easy as
rolling off a log. Of course, you will
say Ann is 10. Then you will think
it over a while and discover that Ann
is 16. Then you will kick yourself
for your stupidity and confess that
the girls are the same age. A mo-
ment later a great light will dawn
and you will see clearly that Ann is
18. But before you go to bed your
mind will still be full of uncertain
ties, and you will proceed to work
out the problem by algebra. The re-
suit of the effort will be that you will
find hat Ann is 1897 years old. And
then you go to guessing"
The problem, it is said, first came
up at Harvard, where football prac-
tice was suspended while it was be-
ing worked out. Then the New York
papers took it up. To-day the papers
are crowded with solutions, all diff
ferent. From New York the fever
spread. Even Philadelphia awoke,
while in Chicago it has gone so far
that the Tribune has a long edito-
rial on the subject.
In some instances it is said that

Got Even With Kiplinp.

Rudyard klpling, the poet, and sno-
ceeded in doing it to his comnla+o
satisfaction. This is how the storv
is told in the London clubs:
Kipling and Rhodes were fellow
passengers on a Cape Railway train
bound toward Kimberley. Up to the
moment~of departure from Cane
Town Rhodes had been busy sendinp
dispatches, and it fell to the lot Of
the poet to book their seats and
berths. The author is a man of how
ish build; the em~pire-builder was
~ponderous, and had a decided aver
sion to sleeping in a top berth,
Knowing this, the poet determined
to have fun at the expense of the
man of destiny. When that night
the ex-Premier found that he had
been assigned to an upper berth his
rage was great. He pleaded with
the agile Kipling to exchange with
him; but the poet, with a sardonic
smile, assured Rhodes that he could
not think of exalting himself above
so mighty an imperialist, and so the
bulky statesman had to climb la
boriously to bed.
After midnight the train stopped
at a small station on the desolate
karoo, and the wife of a colonial
officer got aboard. When she dis
covered that, notwithstanding her
telegram, no reservation had been
made for her, she lifted up her voice
in loud protest. The commotion
awakened Rhodes, who thrust his
head out between the curtains and
demanded to know the cause of the
disturbance.
"I am the wife of Colonel -"
the lady exclaimed, "and although I
wired for a berth, none has been
saved for mel"
CHATS all right" thundered the
Colossus; "my little boy is occupy
ing the berth just under mine; turn
in there with him."
The lady was appeased, and pro-
ceeded to take advantage of the Of
fer. Presently there was an insur-
rection in the lower berth.
"Now don't cry and make a fuss"
the lady was heard to say; your
father told me I might sleep here"
MADAM" gasped the author OF
"The Jungle Book" "do you-do you
know who I ann"
"You are the little son of the gen
tIeman in the upper berth, are you
not?" faltered the now startled WO-
man, peering into the dark compart-
ment.
Nothing of the sort" roared the
poet; "I am Mr.. Rudyard-"
Before he could confess further
the frightened woman fled to an
other car. The upper berth shook
with convulsive appreciation as the
poet, with a mingled vocabulary Of
several tongues, berated the 0Ou'D
African statesman.

READING ALOUD IN THE HOME.
A Good Suggestion for the Fall and
Winter Season.

at this opening of the reading sea-
son, about home reading and its
benefits to children. The habit of
reading aloud is a delightful fea-
ture in the life of some families, and
may be made a source of profit as
well as pleasure to children. In too
many American homes the absence
of the older boys and girls in the
evening is plainly noticeable; they
find their recreation elsewhere. AS
a rule this recreation is wholesome,
but it is too often sought outside the
home where it ought to be provided.
It is one of the secrets of keeping
companionship fresh and close that
it must be made to include pleasure
as well as work. The wife who de-
sires to keep in touch with her hus-
band must have a share in his recrea-
tions; and the mother who wishes to
hold her children fast as they grow
older must play as well as work with
them. The practice of reading aloud
is one of the ways of keeping boys
and girls of active, inquiring minds
at home.
If home reading is to be effective
it must, first of all, be interesting;
the books read must be chosen with
reference to the children's tastes and
interests. Follow the line of least
resistance by-going where they want
to 60, but select the guides yourself.
If they want adventure give them
adventure, but give them the best;
accept their subjects, but use your
maturer knowledge in choosing the
writer's who deal with those subjects.
One evening a week devoted to read
ing aloud thoroughly interesting
stories, travels, histories, biogra-
phies, popular books of science,
would add immensely to the attract
iveness of many homes and prove a
potent influence to protect older
children from the fascination of
recreations less wholesome and slim
ulating.
Very few fathers and mothers I'M
derstand the educational value of
good books in the home. They fail
to realize how much familiarity with
the best writing has to do with
teaching a child to use his own Ian
guage with freedom and accuracy.
Children, like their elders, frequent
ly abuse the language. Their vocab-
ularies are limited; they are often
ungrammatical through careless
ness; and they drop into slang be-
cause they do not command ade-
quate use of words. President Eliot
of Harvard University, once said
that if there be any single test of q
mans education it is his ability tc
use his own language correctly and
with freedom. Children abroad, who
have any educational opportunities
are very carefully trained in the use
of language. The training is very
largely a matter of home influence
The schools can do something, bu-
they cannot do much if the influence

Dr. E. r L. Gould, the City Chamberlain, said
Mayor Low had lived up to his promise to make the
reform administration non-partisan. His success
had been due to strict adherence to this principle
and the Mayor was always right in his motives.
Dr. Gould said the coming year would show still
better government, and at smaller cost to the
people than hitherto
