THE PIRATE SEA GULL
Esn e the sezvsngzr Birds said -

There may be an advantage in

about Us ike Vultures after a bat
tie. The minute our approach
drove a murre or eormorant from
Its nest the sanity looking scala
wags swo0ped down to eat the
eggs and young. While the gulls
are freebOOters and robbers On
the island, It is only when other
birds are frightened from their
nests that they have a chance to
carry on their nefarious trade.
Eternal vigilance is the price the
latter pay for their eggs and
their young. Except when they
are frightened BY the approach Of
some person their possessions arc
never left for an instant without
a guard. But the fittest manage

gulls are the most useful birds in
the bays and rivers about the wa
ter fronts Of our cities. They are
valuable as scavengers, and
should be protected in every way.
Three Of them are equal 10 buz-
zard. Ten Of these gulls are equal
to a pig.

Island Slipping Into the Sea.

The little island Of Ustica,
which is situated of the Sicilian
coast about 40 miles north Of
Palermo threatens to disappear
as a result Of the violent shocks
of earthquake which were expert
enced reczntly. There Is no dan
ger Of a sudden explosion, a. the
island does not contain an active
volcano, but Ustica stands on the
very edge Of the great marine de-
preston, nearly two and a half
miles deep, which lies between
Italy and Sicily. The sides Of this
depression are crumbling away
with the earthquake shocks and
the island viii eventually sink
into the sea.

Hygiene in the Tropics.

Sir Patrick Manson. speaking re-
Gently of the work of the London
School of Tropical Medicine. which
has already established laboratories in
Ceylon in the Malay Peninsula and at
Hong-Kong, dwelt upon a point OF
much Importance, to which compare
lively little attention has hitherto
been given. The natives of the trop-
les, be said, should be educated in the
principles of hygiene as applied to the
conditions amid which they live. In
order to realize this idea he suggested
that tuition in the rudiments of the
subject should he afforded to native
children in the colonial government
schools. Unless the natives COOP
crate in the work, no sanitary scheme
can be thoroughly carried out, and
cooperation implies previous UNDER
standing.

"FOrqet Thee2"

Forget thee?" If to dream by night,
And muse on thee 10y day,
II all the worship deep and wild
A poets heart can pay,
IF prayers in absence breathed for thee
To Heavens protecting power,
If winged thoughts that fit to thee
A thousand in an hour,
II busy Fancy blending thee
With all my future lot
If this thou callst forgetting"
Thou indeed shalt be forgot!
"Forget thee?" Bid the forest birds
Forget their sweetest tune;
Forget thee?" Bid the sea forget
To swell beneath the moon;
Bid the thirsty flowers forget to drink
The ewes refreshing dew;
Thyself forget thine own dear land,
And its mountains wild and blue,
Forget each old familiar face,
Each long remembered spot
When these things are forgot by thee,
Then thou shalt be forgot!

would like to pay S2,760 for an automo-

would be very apt to be "delusion aud

But it would be better bargain than
the saloon. The expense would all come
out of the purchaser, who, it must be
supposed, would be able to afford it,
and the annoyance and distress would
be all his own. But the expense of the

THE GRANGE.
Conducted by Geo. l.. Rich.

Woodman Grange, No. 6l0, met Sat-
urday evening, February TO- There was
large attendance and nice program,
consisting mainly of recitations and mu-
sic. Brother Clint Cleland was ap-
pointed purchasing agent in the place of
+. w. Remington. On the 18th we held
an institute which was we'll attended,

having another institute next year.
During the day there were talks on
dairying, corn, fruit and swine by Messrs.
Lane, Finch, Healy and Frank Forester.
Mr. Forester is the manager of the Mer-
son Swimming station. His talk was
mostly on What we don't like to
hear" This was very interesting, he tel
ling us of the numerous things he finds
in milk cans besides milk.
For the evening our worthy lecturer
had prepared an excellent program in
which everyone did their part skilfully.
The il strumental music was especially
fine. The Grange will have their regu-
lar meeting again in two weeks.
Bangor Grange is doing fine. Our
contest is closed; it was very successful
every way. 1t brought out talent and
many new members. Nine were initiated
last Saturday evening and there are
many more to come whose names have
been voted on. We expect to have a
dinner soon and treat our new brothers
and sisters. Our team, with Brother
Schrackenghast as captain, is doing fine
work 1t is made up of young people
and they are very much interested
Berlamont Grange held an all day
meeting last Saturday which was well
attended. State deputy, Sister Creitz,
was present and gave an instructive talk
and in addition an excellent program

bright for it.
