Ballad Of the Poet.

Brothers. who follow the seas of song,
Mariners brave on an ocean wide,
Bearing away with hearts strong
Stand TO your course with dauntiess
Calamity breasting the foam and gale.
And staying not for the storms that
For who shall stand II the poets fail?
What II the voyage be wild and long.
Ger an ocean that roaring CULTS divide.
strewn with shoals where the dark rocks
And beautiful Islands to hope denied.
Trials that stanchest hearts betide,
Dangers thar bravest souls assail?
Bear up. though your sorrows be multi,
For who shall stand il the poets fall,
Heed not the balks and blows tina,
wrong.
The crosses that hinder. the cuts tina,
In fairest shows that to guile belong:
Though the heart be grieved and the
soul be tried.
Courage! and valiantly all outride!
Sighs are for towards who quake and
quail:
Be We as heores whose hearts abide.
For who shall stand II the poets fail.
Brothers.. whose faith is lamp and
guide
Mid times that question and tongues
that rail
Oh. yield not ye. though the world de.
For who shall stand II the poets fail.

Why..Not See Mexico.

Forty. eight hours travel will take you
from the cold clustering northern winter
to land Of sunshine and flowers. What
Egypt and India are to the old world
Mexico is to tho new. IA land of sun
shine, redolent with flowers; a land OF
gay costumes, crumbling, churches, and
old convents; a land Of kindly greetings,
OF extreme courtesy, Of open broad hos
pitality. 1t was more than enough to
revel in an italian sun, lighting up a
semi tropical land; to look up to white
capped peaks, towering into blue; to
look down upon wind-swept plains en-
circled by ragged chains Of mountains;
and to realize that today, in it's varied
scenery, costumes, architecture, sire ct life
canals crowded with flower. laden boats,
market plazas thropged with gsyly
dressed natives, faded church interiors,
and abandonedI convente, Mexico is the

METHOD OF LEGAL TORTURE.
England the Last Of Civilized coun-
tries to Abolish II.

tries to Abolish II.
England, as all the world knows,
was the last of civilized countries to
abolish the test by torture as regu-
lar legal institution. A historian who
has made a special investigation Of
modern methods OF torture has dis
covered that the barbaric practice is
still common in many out-of-the-way
corners of the globe. The early Eng
lish system, too. has been widely i'm
itated. Even in the time of Henry
III the torture trial was in vogue.
First came three days of preparation
by fasting and prayer. On the solemn
day caldron was made to boil in
church and stone was placed, appar.
emily, in the boiling water. Two
juries of twelve men apiece were pres
ent in the interest of accuser and ac-
cused. Both sides tested the water,
and if they agreed that it was boiling
the accused thrust in his bare arm
ard took out the stone His arm was
then wrapped in cloth and sealed. On
the third day the priest inspected the
arm and II 1t was perfectly healed the
accused got off. 1t seems as II the
testing representatives may have been
tampered with or the examining priest
may have been corrupted.

STUDY FORESTS OF HAWAII.
Interesting Facts Learned by Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

VI
The forests Of the Hawaiian islands
have been studied by the servants en-
ployed by the Department of Agricul-
ture. There are two very distinct
kinds of forests In the islands, one on
the drier lowlands near the sea and
the other on the mountain slopes.
where there is heavy rainfall. The
coastal forest is composed exclusively
of "algaroba or the mesquite" OF
our Southwest. which was introduced
by Father Bachelot in 1897. From the
original tree. which is still standing,
it Is estimated that at least $4,000
acres Of forest have sprung, fairly
well distributed over the different is-
lands. The native forest of the noun
tain slopes is distinctly of tropical
character. None Of the familiar trees
of the north temperate zone are pres.
ent. One looks in vain for oaks, the
maple. pine or spruce. The more i'm
portant trees are the "lehua," "koa,"
''mamane" and "kukui."
