Cornfelds

In the young merry time of spring
When clover gins to burst;
When blue bells nod within the WOOD,
And sweet May whitens first;
When merle and mavis sing their NIL,
Green is the young corn on the Mill.
But when the merry spring is past
And summer groweth bold.
And in the garden and the field
A thousand flowers unfold,
Before a green leaf yet is sere,
The young corn shoots into the ear.
And then as day and night succeed,
And summer weareth on,
And in the flowery garden beds
The red rose groweth wan,
And hollyhocks and sunfiowers tall
O'ertop the messy garden wall.
When on the breath of autumn breeze
From pastures dry and brown,
Goes floating like an idle thought,
The fair white thistle down;
Oh, then what joy to walk at will
Upon that golden harvest hill!
o golden fields of bending corn
How beautiful they seem!
The reaper folk, the piled up sheaves
To me are like a dream;
The sunshine and the very air
Seen of old time and take me there!

The Owl as a Helper

family of barn owls will number
from three to seven birds 1t Is hard
to believe what an amount OF vermin
family of owls will consume. An
old owl Will capture as much or more
food than dozen cats in a night. The
owlets are always hungry. They will
eat their own weight in food every
night and more If they can get It, A
case is on record where a half grown
owl, was given all the mice 1T could
eat. 1t swallowed eight, one after
the other. The ninth followed. all but
the tail, which for some time hung
out of the birds mouth. The rapid
digestion of birds of prey is shown by
the fact that in three hours the little
glutton was ready for a second meal
and swallowed four more mice. II
this can be done by a single bird, what
effect must whole family of owls have
on the vermin of a community? 1t
would be difficult TO point out a more
useful bird than the barn owl in any
farming country. Like many other
birds. 1T deserves the fullest protection.

Three Jewels
There are Jewels three,

There are Jewels three,
That are more to me
Than wealth of Kingdoms beyond the
sea.
No radiant gem
In a diadem
Had ever the brightness that glows IN
them.
The time of their birth
Is unknown on earth:
But heaven has given them priceless
worth.
Through the gates ajar
They have cleaned afar
And taught me the mission OF things
that are.
The peril and pain
And the conflicts vain
And the calm caresses that soothe the
brain.
When the sad soul sighs
For it's native skies
And the airs that wander from Para
disc.
On the aching breast,
By the world oppressed,
Like a benediction these jewels rest.
In their luster fair
And efulgence rare
They proclaim the triumph of days that
Then our souls aspire
With sincere desire
To shine on their brightness. like fire
on fire.
There are Jewels three
That are more to me
Than the hidden treasure of land and
sea.
There is love untold
That will ne'er grow old,
For its. presence shall ever my heart
enfold.
There is trist, that clings
To the soul of things.
And shadows are only an angels wings.
There is truth divine.
That will rise and shine
Till It's glory envelops this soul of
mine.
When my life has won
At it's setting sun
The goal and the guerdon of work we'll
done. U. d. Thomas. NJ. D.

Origin of Sea Terms

WE are all SO familiar with many OF
w the terms relating to the sea and
to sea life that the origin of some OF
the more common ones will undoubted-
ly be a surprise to many of US For
an instance of this take the word ad-
miral. How many people think OF II
except as a thoroughly English word?
Yet we are informed that it's origin ls
In that last place that we would ex-
pect. namely, the east. II is derived
from "ernir ell BACH" which is Arabic
for lord of the sea"
There is hardly a language, 1t seems,
that has not rendered to the Englsh
tongue its tribute, and this is vividly
illustrated in the names of the various
ofticers Of a ship Our informant tells
us that captain comes direct from the
Latin "caput' a head, but the word
mate owes nothing to any dead IAN
guage. being almost Identical with the
Tcelandfc matt" which means accom-
nanion or equal. The derivation OF
coxswain would never be suspected.
Originally coxswain was the man who
pulled the after oar of the captain S
boat. then known as a cockboat. Cock

"coracle." and, as many people know,
the coracle is small round boat used

Commodore is simply the Italian
commandatore. or commander, and
naval cadet was originally the French

Brave in a Jacket of Blue

One upon a time there was a boy
named Frederic Chopin. He was very
much like other boys in his love of
play and fun, but he was different
piano SO much that he practiced faith
fully and happily every day. When he
was only 8 years old he was taken
by his teacher to play at public con-
cert. His mother was more excited
about this than Frederic was and she
made him suit Of blue. velvet, lit
tie knickerbockers and jacket, with a
wonderful wide collar of lace. After
Frederic saw the fine clothes he be-
gan to feel a bit excited on his own
account When the time came he went
out upon the concert platform bravely.
without any thought of being shy. He
was sure everybody would be glad tc
see his beautiful blue jacket and his
wide wonderful collar. He played sc
well that everybody was delighted with
his music.
eagerly asked him, We'll, how did il
go? Which piece did they like best?
Il guess they liked my collar the
best" cried Frederic; for everybody
was looking at it,"
When Chopin Was older he used tC
publish a little newspaper, just as sc
many boys do when fathers will lei
them have type and some sort of print
ing press He called himself Mr.. Pi
chou. and one day, when he had, played
the piano at gathering of his friends

peared at a musical party where were
many people. little and big. He playet
a concerto. but this did not make 81
much impression, especially among tn,
youthful hearers, as the song which tn,
same gentleman afterward rendered,
We can imagine what sort of a sons
the fun loving Frederic must hav,
sung.
Another of his amusements, after hi.
playing had moved people TO deep feel
ing, was to turn to the mirror, rear
range his long hair and his necktie ant
collar. and suddenly show his friend
the face of some droll character.
