Have wrought their dream of welded strength

How have they laid with solemn care her keel
And watched their purpose fashion into FORM
How tried the mettle of her oak and steel
That she shall front the fury of the storm
Along her course, careSsed by every breeze,
Or tempest-tossed, or skies of clouds or sun,
Shall she go forth to plough earthS seven seas
And bind hundred harborS into
Like mighty shuttles plying to and fro
Her seafond ssJerhoOd shall link the lands
Once dimmed by distance till the world shall know
No tribes too alien for the clasp of hands.
Yet greater than the ships of oak and steel
Is that divine creation woman rearS,
To toll and triumph hope and fear, to feel
The passion born of laughter and of tears
Her dreams have held, her precepts stayed and
stanched
The living craft her mother-sght diScerns,

world than a born musical genius a calculating
boy has right to mock me, who know nothing
about music and was batfled and brought to
pause by the mysteries of decimal fractions.
The born reader not only learns almost spontan-
eorslv and at the age of three four, to read,
but he reads rapidly, taking in page at a glance.
Like Dr. Johnson and Sir Walter Scott, he tears
the heart out of book, learns all that he wants OF
it in a flash and goes to another. Most people
seem unable to do this; they read slowly and labor
iouslv and have no knack of skipping. AS
they are the majority, they have made an I'M
written law current in families, that you must
read every word of any book that you have once
begun, and must look into no other book till you
have finished that book. Anything short OF that
they call 'desultory reading, and regard the same
as crime. Now, study is impossible on these
terms; book lasts this kind of student for half
a year, and he puts mark in his book at the place
where he left off browsing over the tome.
Accompanying this kind of intelligence goes
strong sense of duty, coupled with an almost eX-
haustive lack of spontaneous interest IN what
the man STYLES useless information. This sort
of person lives under the sway of the fallaCy that
we should read Ito improve ourselves, whereas
should read we smoke or play golf, because

THE MISSOURI MULE.

A mule from Chulu brought $3.50
on the ST. Louis market few months
ago. This mule from Chulu has as
many ancestors as anybody. but from
nothing doing. OF course, everybody
knows that Missouri leads the world
on mules, and Chulu town leads
Missouri, that's why we talk. A mule
colt will bring from s75 to $50 on the
streets of Chulu, about 81 a pound.
They are seldom offered for sale,
however, as a mule was never known
to get sick or old. A mule is always
worth his five-year-old price. He
can always do anything he could ever
do. At thirty-fve he looks the same,
acts the same, is the same a. ID
matches his fve-year platonic
thirty-second, twice removed accident
al, half grand-niece.
His noble ears and mealy nose,
His glistening coat ard polished
toes,
His fine straight legs and ribs Of
steel,
His muscles tense as when you feel
A monster warship's iron keel.
His tendons of the strength it brings
TO twist a million catgut strings,
He drags the battle engines forth
And proud to prove on feld his
worth.
He dies like one of noble birth
A faith portraed in form and face
To divorce mountains from their
base
He dies at last a giant king
OF all the creatures earth can
bring,
And leaves no child his praise to
sing.

IT is worthy of notice that the

held to an exceedingly low level.
On the other hand, as the arm, prop
