When Sails Dotted Seas

l am the poets vision still
Still down the lanes OF sea
Trod row by monsters believing,
The songs are all OF me.
For when they set my braces taut,
The last Ship of the Line,
And sailed me from the ken of man
Into the ridging brine,
They could not take the memory
OF the days when ships were blown
Over the uncontrolled wave
By the breath Of God alone.
For me through patient centuries
The praying forests rose.
From Scandinavia's cataracts
To Oregon's far SHOWS;
For me the strong, full-bosomed hills
Upreared their crowns of trees
That 1 might answer. unafraid,
The hanIng of the breeze.
They cut the Druid temples down
To make my ribs OF oak:
Beneath the axman's swinging arm
The Congo echoes woke.
They RATED down the Kennebec
They hewed in Lebanon;

How would you arrange, with a
room full of people, to place candle
in such a position that all but one
would see it. and that person must
not be blindfolded?
Place the candle upon the head OF

Should there be a mirror in the room,
and this one person should make use
of it, he does not see the candle, but
only its reflection.

have no trouble in performing 1t. Bear
your weight on the rope in your hands
and lift your legs, swinging them up
ward from your hips. The result will
be that your feet will go up about
three feet from the ground. while the
rope in your hands will sink till your
head is about on level with your
feet.
Now climb up the rope, hand over

feet and lift your feet as before. pull

You do not easily pull yourself up

case of straight pull, there is a very
simple way to do 1t which you may
easily prove to the establishment of
your friends.
Throw rope over the limb Of a
tree. and in one end of the rope make
strong loop large enough to hold
your foot. Now you are to pull your
self up as the boy in the picture is
doing. You stand on the ground with
your left foot in the loop of the rope
and pull your best on the other end of
the rope. but. though you feel good
deal of strain on your foot in the loop
you do not stir. Now you are doing
exactly what is done by the man who
tries to lift himself over the fence by
pulling on his bootstraps.
BY this time you are convinced that
there is trick to it. Indeed. there

From rock to plain were hurled
That they might bear me spars to take

To hang me with its gear.

The children of many nations have
games that consist in saying or doing
something funny while each child
tries not to smile, giggle or laugh. The
Eskimos, the North American Indians.
the Italians and the Germans all have
a great variety of these laughter
games.
One OF them. which is almost the
same among the children Of both the
civilized and uncivilized nations, is AS
follows:
One child stands in the middle of a
ring formed by the others. In turn
they step up to the one and pluck her
by the chin. saying:
"Aunty thick and thin r
1 pluck you by the chin. d.
II you see me laugh or smile

Now it seems easy enough to say
these words without laughing or grin
ning-when you read about it. But
it isn't bit easy when you try 1t.

sense, the organs of which are the
pores of the head and of the lateral

relief to-day from the apathy of the
stock market, which was about as
low as an ebb as on Saturday. The
anniversary to-day of the panic of 1901
was the occasion of much discussion
and moralizing, and of many striking
comparisons between the speculative
interest of the period and of the pres
emit. Reports of earnings continue to
the showing of declining level from
last year with high level of operat-
ing expenses remaining in force.
Reports of coming retrenchments on
more than one important system were
current and some hope was felt that
benefit will result to the net returns.
The slight upward tendency of prices
seemed due rather to the intermittency
of the market following the decline
Of last week than to any change of
sentiment. The passing of the $40 0O0,-
600 warrant for the Panama canal pay
ment marks the high tide of benefit
