An old Fashion.d Woman.


No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the paths of fame,
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom. love her flower
She seeks no other wand of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven near,
To win a smile and wipe n tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own queer place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twlned,
AS round some reverend saint enshrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led TO ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and Ill;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls OF dew,
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the Sunshine of her face;
Her very smile n blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle, clear-eyed messenger.
10 whisper loye-thank God for her.

OLD-TIME SAIL-DRILL.

One Of the dangers and one of the
hardest tasks OF the man-of-wars man
vanished out Of his life when, with the
supplanting OF the frigate by the steam
cruiser, the old-time sail drill became
a thing Of the past. Fleets, In the old
days, were continually exercised in
making and shortening sail, shifting
spars, and all similar maneuvers aloft,
says Capt j. w Gambler, of the Brit
ish navy, in his Links in My Life" :
AS the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as to which ship should car
ry out an evolution first. accidents were
frequent. Hardly a drill day passed
without men being seriously injured.
Once, during a drill in kiel harbor,
where the rivalry in the feet was in
creased by the eagerness of foreign
ships 10 compete with the English, an
unfortunate French midshipman went
head first from the mlzzen cross sites of
the French flagship to the deck.
That numbers of accidents should
take place in sail drill WAS not aston
ishing when one remembers that spars
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long and weighing two or three
tons were whislled about with bewilder-
ing speed with nothing but mems hands
and brains TO guide them; hundreds OF
men crammed into a space of few
hundred square feet, where nothing
but the most marvellous organization
and discipline could avert death on
deck or aloft
To the landsman, who understood
nothing of the difficulty involved in rap
idly shifting these great masts and
yards, or in reefing and furling thou
sands Of square feet OF stiff canvas
perhaps wet or half frozen-the rapid
lty with which IL was done was perhaps
the chief wonder.
Ropes, running like lightning through
blocks that were instantly too hot from
| friction to be touched, had to be
checked to within few inches, requlr-
| ing the utmost GOODNESS and presence
| of mind; while the office In command
had to superintend what 20 the I'M
| initiated looked like n tangled mass of
cordage, but which was i'm reality no
| more in confusion than the threads In
a loom.
In an instant this officer might see
something going wrong; to delay a sim
gle second meant terrible catastrophe.
Everyone, allow and aloft, was relying
on his judgment.
| "Belayv Ease away!"
The order came In an instant. The
boatswain's mates repeated 1t In a par
| tIcular call which this life-and-death
necessity soon taught everyone TO un-
derstand; the shriIl whistles rising
above the din of tramping feet and
| running ropes, or the thunderous crash
Of the great sails in the wind. Death
had been ayerted-or not. IL not, you
looked up and saw some unfortunate
| man turning head over heels In the air.
Your heart stood still. Would he catch
| hold Of something, even If only to
break his fall? Or would he come bat
tering on the deck? 1t was a mere
| toss-up If he was killed outright It
generally stopped the drill for the day.
IL he was only seriously injured. the
drill went on, for this was part of the
lesson that must be learned, that In
| peace, as In war, one must take his
| chances.
