Modern Sea FIGHTING.

A favorite theme of the artist-the
sea battle-is spoiled forever. Mod
ern vessels fight at from ten to seven
teen miles, if they fight at all. and
thrilling pictures such as Jones, Perry,
Farragut, Nelson and Dewey have in
spired probably will not be painted
again.
Marine warfare has become very
largely matter of hide and seek any
way. So far has the gunmaker out
stripped the armor plate builder that
were equally matched vessels to en-
gage, few seconds firing would re-
duce millions of dollars worth of ships
to scrap iron shambles.
And when the skulking menace of
the submarine is considered we can
understand how completely the tradi-

Rare Eastern Plant.

One of the rarest plants of the far
East is the .'changeable rose," whose
bloom is white in the shade and red
In the sunlight. The rose grows in
Japan, Siam and China. In the dark,
or in a shaded room, the flower has a
pure wavy-white surface. But Won
derful transformation occurs when the
bloom is taken from the dark to the
sunlight. First, the petals turn to
faded blue, which at once changes to
q delicate pink. This hue gradually
deepens into a fiery red, so that the
rose becomes the color of the reddest
peony that ever bloomed.

Numbered Teaspoons.

In the early days Of tea drinking,
when the brew was rare and costly,
numbered spoons were used. 1t was
not etiquette for guest to ask for a
second cup until all the company had
finished the first. The numbered
spoons therefore insured each getting
his own cup back again. AS sigE to
the hostess that no more tea was want
ed the spoon was placed in the cup.
Even when etiquette was fetish tea
pot spouts sometimes got choked up,
so the long handle of the spoon with
a pierced bowl that succeeded the sill
yer strainer was thrust down the. spout
to dispense the leaves. Etiquette, :"
remarks Arthur Hayden in "Chats on
Old Silver" forbade the hostess to
blow down the spout

Italy an Ancient Nation.

Italy may fairly claim to be senior
among the nations of Europe SO far
as it's name is concerned. The PENN
sula has been Italia almost as far
back as even legend reaches. Accord
ing to Mommsen the "Itali' proper
were the inhabitants of the southern
part of the country. AS to the origin
of the name, there is the normal le-
gend of a King Italus; but his name
must have been pronounced Vitalus
or Vitulus, which means a bull-calf,
and it is easy to recognize in it an
allusion to Italy as the land of cattle.

Forest
UHE forest in a whisper spoke.

AU HE forest in whisper spoke,
Vine to flower and pine to oak,
"a From holy hilled Jerusalem
~ To where, upon it's leafy hem.
The humble village chung
Calm Bethlehem, dark, yet like gen.
Enwrapped with light, as jewels are,
BY trembling radiance of the STAR
The trees a coming wonder told
While yet the birds, their songs unsung.
Dreamed of the coming of their young
But, though of splendor bright
The forest breathed, it's boughs were huns
With sable shade; no taper'S beam
Cast through that dusk it's happy CLEAN.
The angels sung; the shepherds came:
In the lone manger shone flame
That burned with supernatural light
The pine trees whispered through the
night,
And. though the Saviour's birth
Changed not their shadowy gloom to
white,
They in patient darkness still
Bowed, signing, and obeyed his will.
Vanished is that old forest now
And withered wholly, root and bough,
Yet in all Christian realms Of earth
Springs a new forest, full Of mirth
That lights with radiant cheer
The evergreens enduring worth,
and to that whispering prophet brings
A glory of the King of kings.
For all our merry Christmas trees
Glow fair with flame and revelrieS
That cluster round them year by year,
And fir and pine, or far or near,
Live upright gladly die,
knowing that they to God are dear,
And bring to man, illuminate,
A torch that leads to heavens gate.
Even so the measure slow of time.
Like rhythm closed with rime,
Raises the patient soul on high,
-rlngs joy to life, even from a sigh.
And in conclusion sweet
Dark grief with gladness can ally.
So shines the forest when we meet
With light and song, Christ's birth to
greet.

Crippled Feet In China.

According to Chinese history. the
custom of small feet among the fe
males of China originated several CEN
turtles back. when a large body of
women rose against the government
and tried to overthrow it. To prevent
the recurrence of such an event the
use of wooden shoes SO small as to
disable them from making any effec-
tive use of their feet was enforced on
all female infants.

now he is angry with me because |
didn't speak to him when | saw him
after a fuss. We were going to be
married in a few months Please adj
wise me what to do The reason we
fused was because my people wouldn't
let me go to the theater with him
when my sister was sick.
Please advise me, as l don't know
what ! will do if he don't came back
to me. Anxious.
Dear me, what a tempest in tea
pot, Anxiousi 1t was silly of you both
to be angry in the first place, but you
should have spoken to the young man
if you were willing to make up again.
How was he to know how you felt in
you refused to smooth things over by
speaking to him when you had the
chance?
Can't you make up with him again
by letter or by asking him to, as l
think that you two are just about
even now, and the time has come to
stop these little quarrels and try to
be sensible.

from starting out in the morning a
new man except your own weakness.
Overcome that weakness and you will
be able to rise above unpleasant con-
ditions at home.
Undecided: Yes, there would be-a
great deal of harm. If your boy
friends will not cali otherwise, they
cannot be very worth while.
Dear Betty Brown am sixteen
years of age and for the first time a
young man came to see me. He
seems to be gentleman and treats
me very nicely, but somehow | can't
like him. He made an engagement
with me for Sunday. Please advise
me whether to keep it or not and get
further acquainted with him.
Doubtful
If you don't care for the man,
shouldn't think you would have much
pleasure in his company. On the 9th
err hand, Doubtful, if he is your first
caller perhaps the reason that you
can't bring yourself to like him is
that you are not accustomed to asso-
ciating with young men. 1t would be
better, should think, for you to allow
him to call a couple of times more
before you finally refuse to allow him
to come. You may grow to like him
very much, indeed.
