REAL AND FALSE.

The fisher had stopped from skiff.side
To dip his net in the sea,
When up from the deep, deep water,
A face looked smilingly.
A face in frame of sunlight,
With smile like a ripping wave,
With lips that would tempt and trouble
And eyes that would calm and save.
He gazed too long for his future,
Too long for his peace of mind,
He poured his soul in his worship,
Devoted, ceaseless, blind.
He swept his net through the water,
But the vision passed away,
The waves grew calm, but it came not,
Though he watched many day.
He never knew twas a maiden,
That leaned from the rock above,
Whose face had looked from sea-depth,
With eyes like dream of love.
He never knew though he passed her,
Each day, as to and fro,
Weary and sick with longing,
To his task he'd sadly 60.
So we gaze in the futures waters,
For the visions they portray,
So we long for the unreturning,
Nor heed the blest to-day.
So we cast our nets for the shadows,
Fleet phantoms of the tide,
Nor dream in our blind delusion,
That the real is at our side.
Lue r. Vernon.

CHRISTMAS GAMES.

An excellent game for the freside
circle during the happy holiday season
is called "Tray." The players should
all be provided with sheets OF paper
and pencils. A tray is brought into
the room filled with assorted articles
of all sizes and shapes; the greater the
variety, the more amusing the game.
The players are allowed to look at the
articles on tray for three minutes,
but they must on no account touch
anything or make any remark about
anything, keeping perfect silence while
the observations are being made. At
the expiration of the allotted time the
tray should be covered over or removed
from sight, and each player must
write down everything he or she can
remember to have seen on il. Three
minutes is allowed for this, or if there
are many articles on the tray little
longer time may be given. The player
who has made out the longest list reads
it out, the other players checking
theirs by his, and some one by the
articles on the tray. This is really
rather difficult game, especially when
it is played two or three times in close
succession, as one is very apt to get
the trsy-loads mixed. Another ex-
tremely amusing game is "The Blind
Pig" A blackboard or . large sheet
of paper should be set up, the latter
pinned on = drawing board. Each
player in turn must be blindfolded
and led to the board or paper, given
chalk, and told to draw a pig. As q
rule the pictures will be provocative of
mos! unconventional laughter and en-
joyment. The best and the poorest
should be awarded prizes.
A rather novel way of playing the
old nut and potato races has found
great favor of late. Place in two par.
allel rows and about two feet apart
five large and irregular potatoes, and at
the end an empty bowl. The player
must pick up each potato on q tea.
spoon, carry it to the bowl, and drop it
in. The potato must not be touched
by hand or foot, and if dropped must
be picked up with the spoon again.
Record is kept of those first succeeding
in getting all tho potatoes in the bowl.
Two or more can run the race at once,
according to the number of rows of
potatoes. For the nut race, place .
bowl Of nuts at one end of the room,
and several empty bowls at the other.
Each contestant, holding the hand fiat,
with the fingers close together and ex.
tended, dips into the bowl, getting as
many nuts as possible ON the back of
his hand. These must be carried across
the room and dropped into the other
bowls. A certain number of journeys
must be decided upon, and the one
who gets the greatest number of nuts
into the bowl wins the race. Both of
these races are very mirth-provoking,
and children of larger growth Us.
ually enjoy them as much as their
juniors.

The Eyes Of the Snake.

Snakes may almost be said to have
eyeglasses, inasmuch as their eyes are
without lids, and each is covered with
transparent scale, much resembling
glass. When the reptile shades its
outer skin. the eye scales come off
with the rest Of the transparent en-.
velopes out OF which the snake slips.
This glassy-eye scale is 90 tough that
it effectually protects the true eye
from the twigs, sharp grass and other
obstructions which the snake encoun-
ters in its travels, yet it 10 trans
parent enough to allow the most per-
feet vision. Thus, if the snake has
not glass eyes, it may, at any rate, be
said TO wear eyeglasses.

Why Shouldn't She Be?
4th, advertisement for girl to do

There was an expression of extreme
satisfaction on Miss Harbison's face as
she was exhibiting her new gown to q
number of friends the other day.
"My dear, you seem supremely salts
fed with your new Dress" remarked
some one.
"Well, Why shouldn't be!" replied

lars. High class farming, when gen.
orally introduced in the Willamette
valley, will double the production OF
this noted region. The happy.go-
lucky methods and the suicide one
crop system have been too much in
vogue with the part OF the resident
population. But of course wheat is
still the greatest and most valuable
single staple, not alone in Oregon, but
in Washington and Idaho as we'll.
California has OF course, in many re-.
spects, conditions differing from those
OF the two States north of her. She
has been vastly more advertised and is
far older settlement as we'll. One
half OF all her cultivated land is irri-
gated, but vast districts still remain
unreclaimed, and large proportion of
this must probably remain so forever.
During 1904 the irrigated district OF
California was increased by four hun.
dred and sixty thousand acres located
mostly in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valley. Still there are points
that call for more sensible treatment
on the part of the California husband
man, and one of the chief ones ia
doubtless the dairy interests OF the
State. in which respect California is
lamentably deficient. Last year she
sent out twenty million dollars in
money for poultry, eggs and dairy
products. Pierce Brothers, near Stock.
ton, are now making rapid progress to
develop the dairy industry in the State.
Although last year California still pro-
duced gold to the tune of nineteen
million dollars, this sum is small when
compared With her agricultural prod.
ucts. Last years output of petroleum
amounted to over twenty.eight million
barrels, which exceeded by far the fig
ures Of Pennsylvania or Texas.

Jack-Well, 1 hardly know whether

Tom-Oh we'll, it might be worse.
