LONGING.
BY JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

OF all The myriad moods of mind,
Thot through the soul came thronginG
Which was e'er so dear, so kind,
So beautiful as longing!
The things we long for that we arc
For one transcendent moment,
Before the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment.
Still, through our paltry stir and strife
CLOVIS down the wished ideal,
And longing molds in clay what life
Carves in the marble real.
To let the new life in, we know,
Desire must ope the portal;
Perhaps the longing to be SO
Helps make the soul immortal.
Rural Retreat times. [volume] (Rural Retreat, Va.) 1892-1918, 1903-03-13

Longing is Gods fresh heavenward will
With our poor earthward striving;
We quench it that we may be still
Content with merely living,
But, would we learn that hearts full scoop
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope
And realize our longing.
All, let us hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons,
The moments when we tread His ways
But when the spirit beckons.
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self-satisfaction,
When we are simply good in thought
Howe'er we fail in action.

were not to be procured at the Of

not at all. SO he began to save pa

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How Chinese Boys Make Their
Favorite Self Flying Kite.


There is a kind of kite which any
boy who is clever can easily make,
and it comes from China. 1t may
be called the "self flying kite" and
is made by cutting fairly stiff paper
NOT too stiff, for that wouid make
it too heavy-into such shape that
when the two long edges are gum
med together the paper will form a
cylinder much larger at one end
than at the other. Both ends should
be left open, and in the larger OF
the two apertures two very light
cross sticks should be plHed in \
form in order to be certain that 1t
will stay open, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
A piece of light rattan bent into
circle and pasted tightly in the lar
ger aperture is even better than the
cross sticks. Four short "guy
strings" should connect the rattan
hoop or the crosspieces with the
main flying line. This kite is not a
high fier, but it may be made to 60
up some distance by arranging 1t so
that the upper guy string is little
shorter than the lower and by plac-
ing a steel wire along the bottom OF
the cylinder.
The Chinese often make these
kites most elaborate in appearance
by painting them so that they look
like fish or dragon. On feast days
they tie them to the tops of long
bamboo poles stuck in the ground
and thus produce the effect of fishes
or dragons flying through the air.
Newspaper or other brittle paper
is bad material to use in these kites.
The paper should be light, but
tough. If YOU live near a paper mill
where they make ''linen" paper,
such as is used for writing paper,
you can get it in large sheets. You
will find it ideal, although little
expensive. So called paper cam
bric"-a light cloth glazed on one
side-is not a bad covering for these
kites, or, indeed, for any kites of
large size.
The stationary kite will not fly
very high, but if you tie flying
string from four to six feet long to
the top of fagpole and put "sta-
tionary kite" at the other end of it
a curious spectacle will be presented
every time a breeze stirs.
