He saw the monster as IL was skim
ming slowly along the bottom Of the
sound looking for prey.
At first he thought 1t was the stump
of a tree propelled by some current
moving along the bottom, but, watch
ing it moment, discovered what 1t
was. For half an hour thereafter he
slowly followed it, and was finally
rewarded by having it take his bait.

IN THE FIELD OF FRIENDSHIP.
There We Are in Contact with Some
Of the Finest Issues Of Life.

The field of friendship is a wide one
and all our neighbors, both near and
far, should be candidates for admis-
sion there. The appearance of cold
esteem, the passing salutation, empty
of everything save chill formality,
have larger possibilities behind them
than we are wont to imagine. AT any
rate, to believe so, honestly and con.
scientiously, is an indication of an ac-
tive faith, and is far wholesomer than
the suspicious that do their utmost to
master us. 1t is only through this be-
lief that we shall bring ourselves in
contact with some of the finest issues
of life and come to understand the
unities and harmonies of existence.
Nevertheless, it is we'll to bear in
mind the important fact that man is
not our only friend and neighbour
Neither patience nor Investigation is
necessary to the discovery that all
things about us are capable of invit-
ing neighborliness ard dispensing it
to those who are wise enough to take
advantage of the hospitality that is
constantly proffered. The towering
trees Though they do not seem to
tower as high as they did when we
We're younger), the humble creeping
vines, the delicate flowers that spring
up in night casual and ravishing,
the whole movement and rush of ma
ture in her vigorous and insistent
moods, belong to neighborlness in the
most significant and satisfactory
sense. 1t is something of a relief to
discover that we need not depend en-
t1rely on man for companionship-
though beyond all doubt the best of
his kind are to be treasured in what
ever relation or condition they are

The Vision Of City Children.

A well-known English surgeon
called attention, some time ago, to the
inability of city children to see we'll
at great distance, caused, he said,
by their restricted line of vision The
other side of the street is about as far
as they have an opportunity Of using
their sight. 1t is different with coun-
try children, who have an expanse Of
landscape to look at, and can practice
their sight on a great variety of OBJ
jects at a distance. He suggests that
city children should be given every
possible chance to do the same, and
thus train the sight and strengthen the
eyes at the same time. There is so
much good sense in this suggestion
and 1t should have the serious atten-
ton of fathers and mothers.
