O GIVE ME THE FARM.

o give me the farm, the countryside,
Where Cod seems near where skies are
wide.
Where Mother nature reigns complete.
The smell OF growing things Is sweet,
Where peace and unfeigned Joy abide
o give me the farm the sunlit fields.
Where each days toll contentment Yields
It's acres broad deep woods serene,
The way-s,de flower Of Heavens sheen,
All splendid things each day reveals.
O give me the farm where all conspire,
To draw my soul, my spi~it higher,
Where Faith inhabits f"lds and hills.
Where the silence Of the evening thrills,
The glow on eastern skies inspire.
o give me the farm. there LET me stay.
And reve In the wild birds lay,

While my muscles harden, my chest ex-

And a perfect freedom is mine Away.

BIRDS NESTS 4 nEucAcY
Edible Dear 10 Chinese Constitutes m
Important Part In the Export
Trade Of Siam.

An important item in the export
trade Of Siam consists Of edible nests
of swifts, or swiftlets. as they are
also called. The principal markets
for this trade are China. Hongkong
and Singapore. In Hongkong. 1t is
said, the demand often exceeds the
supply, and prices range from SIS to
$25 per pound, according to quality.
The first nests constructed in the
season, which are composed of pure
saliva, are held superior for eating
purposes. They are gathered on COM
pletion before the eggs ere laid. The
birds then build again, and the Sec
ond nests, in which TIE saliva is mixed
with rootiets, grass, etc, and often
shows traces OF blood, from the ef-
forts made to produce saliva, ere also
taken on completion. a third nest is
then constructed OF extraneous SUBJ
stances cemented together and the
whole fastened to the wall by little
saliva, the flow of which seems to be
practically exhausted. The birds are
allowed to rear their young in these
nests, which are afterward destroyed
by the nest gatherers, SO as to compel
the construction of fresh nests the
following year. Edible nests Of swift
let's are found in the Malay archipel-
ago, Australia, and many Of the Pacific
islands. In northern Borneo certain
caves inhabited by these swiftlets pro-
duce s25,000 worth of nests every year
and show no diminution in the quan.
tity, despite systematic robbery for
seven generations.

FOUND PATIENT A PROBLEM
Authorities Of New York Aquarium
Will Admit That Sea Cow Was
Hard Proposition to Handle.

The big manatee or sea COW. which
disports in 20-foot tank for the edi.
fication of visitors at the New York
aquarium. has been troubled with q
salt water rash which called for treat.
ment by the fish doctors. That was
easier said than done. The manatee
weighs 900 pounds and is as strong as
q horse and far more dimcult to han
die.
To scoop the sea COW out Of the tank
with . landing net and . derrick did
not seem practical. To treat the BID
patient in the water was equally i'm.
possible. So they let all the water
out Of the tank and, while the manatee
Topped helplessly at the bottom. ths
doctors went to work. The treatment
was q success and the 12-foot exhibit
Is now as we'll as ever.
The sea COW was caught In the wa
ters of Florida and brought to New
York. It is q fastidious eater, show
ing a preference for eel-grass and let
tuce leaves. 1t has no front teeth
Its strength lies in its beaverlike
tail.-New York World.

Most Interesting Ace Of Woman.


What is tho most interesting age
in woman" was a question recently
discussed by an artist. an author and a
woman OF society. The artist said he
did not like to paint the portraits of
those between the age Of twenty-five
and forty. Before twenty-five the face
has an expectancy which charms. 1t
Is looking forward with Joyous fresh
ness and hope, and Is full OF puz-
cling promises. At forty years the
character Is formed and the lines of
the countenance are strong for the
painters study, but in the intervening
years the face has lost its expectancy,
Is apt to be Indifferent. and has no par
ticular interest. The author differed
from the artist. He liked to study
women between the ages of thirty and
forty. They had then the experience
of the world and the joyousness, of
youth. In those years they were
brightest and most interesting. The
society woman thought It was impossi-
BILE to make general answers to the
questions as individual women differ
in regard to which was the most at
tractive age. Some are more charm.
ing at sixty years, while others have
passed the prime at twenty. The best
answer would be that women are al
ways beautiful to the friends who love
and admire ethem.-Exchange.

ly Christian community. and these
hymns are marked by all the charac.
teristics that we associate with that

a key to primitive Christian expert
ence, just as the rediscovery of the
Olney hymns, or q volume Of early
Methodist hymns, or Saint Bernard's g
Latin hymns-supposing any or all Of
these to be lost-would help us to
understand what really went on at the
Methodist revival in England, or in
the great monastic revivals of the
middle ages.
THE little book in its first form can
scarcely be later than $50 A. D., and IL
may be earlier. 1t may be as early
