The New Poet and Ellis Poetry.
You may not like the way the new
poet is solving his problems as com
pared with the way Tennyson and
Browning solved theirs. but, after oil,
poetry is poetry. Even when 1t Is not
poetry to those who read. II It i-ls
been poetry to those who wrote It, It
is not worthless. for 1t has fulfilled to.
ward at lenst ono human creature It's
truo function Of freeing tho spirit.
Tao genuine thing in poetry, under
any guiso, is forever justified. forever
triumphant. Open-mindodness toward
the new poetry. then. bonefts us. Wo
cannot afford to-. patyonizo or ignore
any possible source OF poetry, because
poetry. like art. has become too much
an exotic III l..odern life. 1t is today
completely detached from our affairs.
The new poets specifically recognize
this condition and offer rather piticul.
ly, different remedies, 80 much less
deep.seated than the disease that one
can hardly expect their success.-Cor.

Simple prccsina for Wounds.

The extended hospital practice Of
several surgeons has shown that q
simple dressing of castor oil is most
excellent for abrasions, bruises and
contusions, and for incised and lacera-
ted wounds and burns and scalds. The
part is first thoroughly washed with a
warm antiscptic lotion, and then an
oil-soaked piece Of lint, or q pad OF
sterile gauze, is applied directly to the
injury. Over this is placed piece of
rubber tissue, or Of parafflne paper.
and the whole wrapped with az ordi
nary bandage. Healing generally fol-
lows by first intention. and there is
hardly ever any suppuration.

The Scholar and the Farm.

For an absurdly long time the delu.

uneducated yearn more for life in
the country, but this is quite untrue
On the contrary, the refined mind most
naturally seeks the seclusion and har-
mony Of nature. II know it Is the
fashion for people of wealth to own a

opinion prevails in the minds of fool.

there are flowers under the sea? That
