CORALS, ON THE "MAINE."

The warrior ship had moored beneath the
waves,
Its tangled depths were crowded thick with
graves:
Each jewelled sword had bent shattered knee
Before the rusting sabers of the sea.
True patriots could not let their heroes lie
Without one glance of pity from the sky:
So delved among those caverns of despair,
And all the ghosts of ruin slumb'ri ring there.
No cleaning triumph of the builders toll,
But one demonlac moment served to spoil;
And hearts long loved and cherished night and
day,
We're in midnight tempest swept away
1t was a lesson to our minds-alasl
That warning: how or when it comes to pass,
This world must heed the universal touch,
And fall in Ruins ever waiting clutch
But 10! amid that sad and silent place,
We're tiny craftsmen of the coral race!
Those unobtrusive "tolers of the sea-
Those builders of the islands yet to be.
With placid thrift, they piled their wizard
trade.
Close clinging to the fragments War had made.
As if those had been summoned to their call:
They knew not that the wrecks were wrecks
at all.
1t was lesson to our hearts, with JOY
We felt that Ruin is in Gods employ;
And there are builders that we cannot see,
Erecting grander worlds for you and me-
1t was lesson to our sous!-above
The gloomy graves of those we loved and love-
The joys they sought, our martyred lads may
know,
On spirit islands, fashioned long ago.
Will Carleton, in Harper's Weekly

WHY THE HAREM SKIRT FAILED.

Grace Margaret Gould, writing the
fashion talk in the September Woman's
Home Companion, says:
"Now here is the point: Paul Poiret,
the new dress leader of Paris, took
long step in leadership when he designed
the harem skirt; but it was a step too
far. In fact, for all his reputation, even
he had to 'side-step.
1.-The American woman would have
none of this unfeminine, vulgar, Turk
ish-:rouser skirt-it was both harem and
scarem to her. She realizes that the
more mannish she appears, the less fem
mime she is, and men know it and treat
her accordingly.
Essentially feminine dress is mark
of both privilege and distinction.
1.-The shock of this harem skirt caused
the American woman to think, and to
think wisely, and her will did the rest.
She not only would not have the harem
skirt, but she would have absolutely fem
mime fashions and common-sense fash
sions, too, whenever she could get them.
"From the extreme of freak, she flew
to the extreme of sense. Of course, the
cunning Frenchman went along and got
there 6. little ahead, too. He must main
tain his leadership in style, even if he
has to eat his own words to do so.

THE AMERICAN SCHOONERS.
Lead the Maritime Nations in Adaptabiity
to the Trade for Which They are Con-
structed.

In sailing vessels the American type
has always taken the lead over other
maritime nations. An example of the
genius of the Yankee in shaping means
to ends was seen in the development of
the three masted schooner from 1870 on
ward. 1t was especially adapted for the
coastWlse trade. 1t could beat into and
out of harbors to the best advantage.
Then it cost less and could be worked by
fewer seamen. Also it was found that
an increase in size and thus in carrying
capacity involved no corresponding in
crease in the cost of building and main
tenance. The larger the vessel the
smaller the price per ton for which she
could afford to carry cargo. Then,
too, there was less work aloft in hand
ling them.
1t was by natural and easily under
stood evolution that the schooners which
are familiar to all came into use They
began with two masts. Then came three,
four, five, six and, at least in one in
stance, seven masters. They are stanch
vessels, able to look gale in the eye
and take what comes without lodging.
A versatile order Of seamanship is re-
quired for their handling. The winter
and also summer coast trade is crowded
with perils and hardships, which has de-
veloped high degree of manly fortitude.
Northern Europe, with climate CORE
spending to our own, suspends naviga-
ton during the inclement season of the
year. But on this side steam or sail
knows no rest save that required to
make good the wear and tear of arduous
service
But these sailing craft, fine as has
been their performance, will, it is
opined, disappear by degrees in the next
decade or two. Smoke will trail over
seas that were whitened by the sails of
the big six-masters. Commerce demands
steam, and commerce is the monarch of
the sea. The Marine Journal.

THE BLACKSMITH SHOP.

| Say,
heard the clink of an anvil to-day
Over the way;
The street was full of city sounds
That Jared the ear.
But ringing clear
1 Above them all
heard that anv i clink
| To the hammers fall,
And it made me think
OF other things than city sounds
| Which seem no less
Than cries of effort in distress
And everlasting restles ness.
That anvil clink
Made me think
| OF little old blacksmith shop
Back yonder. where used to stop
And loaf in the shade;
Where, as boy. played
Many game of marbles in the road,
The dusty road
That ran before
Its door
Oh, say,
Nothing like that comes my way
To-day
My, N.Y.
How time does fly!
Back yonder we'd stop
At the blacksmith shop
And hang around the door
10 hear the bellows roar
Mhe red hot iron and make the big spar
jump;
And oh,
Wouldn't we go
When he'd swing
The iron around and sling
The sparks right at US? Well, guess
Yes.
And say
The way
He could shoe a horse was grand.
We'd stand,
Saucer-eyed. and watch him shave and rasp
And fit and nail-and the smell?
Well,
1t wasn't exactly like rose-kssed air,
But we didn't ca e.
No, sir; we'd stay right there,
And I'll bet
It's the same in the country yet.
And there's many kid
Doing just the same as we did
But it's different, somehow,
In the city now,
And that anvil clink
Gould only make me think
Of the old days
And the simple ways.
Still, that amt so bad,
And I'm glad
1t does what it can
TO make life better for a city man
Like me-
See?
