BAD FOR DRINKERS

Mrs. Achsab Merrill of Boston, who returned recently from Cuba on the Munson line steamship Munamar, said that the island would be a most de- 1ightful place if it wasn't for the frogs and snakes in the rainy season, ac- cording to the New York Times.
 ''I went to GaIvis, where I had pur- chased a small plantation with a number of Boston people," Mrs. Mer- Till continued, "and we enjoyed the winter very much. When the rainy season came we had snakes squirming g about all over the place. They slid over the porch and climbed all over the tables and up the curtain poles in the dining room. know that the snakes were harmless, but I did not want them there at all.
 was getting dark one evening and saw
 what I thought was a coil of old rope on the floor. I picked it up and found it was a snake, which, gave me
 shock that I did not recover from for days. When people sit out on
 the porch at night in GaIvis the snakes creep along and twine themselves around their legs and squeeze them tight to the legs of the chair in order to get warm after the rain. It makes the sitter get warm, too.
 "In addition to the snakes we have the thunder bullfrogs. which make such a noise that sleep is impossible. They weigh about ten pounds each and I have frequently found six or eight of them sitting on their haunch- es in my dining room making night hideous with their croaking chorus. EOne night I was sitting by a window jumped through and landed on my Iap,'

ToDAY's POEM
THE SEA

Itw as many years ago It was many years ago but scant height, That know.~
 For the bigness of the sea Covered all things, to my mind, In that long. long, long ago! You, my dear, were there by me, Playing on the g1eaming sands By the swinging, Windy sea,
 And the pink shells in your lap Shone - our loot from pirate ships We, once captives, now set free! wind-kissed, sun-kissed, all the day, In the magic lands we found, Passed those chi1dhood's Hours away ... Then the night came slowly down Dragging in it's train the years And our sea forgotten lay. It was many years ago. But the spirit of the sea Gave us being;
 That I know With the wonder of your face Growing, as my soul found grace From that long, long, long ago Till the stars above the lea, Not less high than thee, my own, Shone down softly
 On our three;
 Shone upon us, too, as love Glove the darkness with high faith In the years that were to be --.. All day the great white birds above sea, All the day the great white birds above Have beat the air increasingly, And made wild moan with the seas
 cry,
 Against the rockbound coast, Far out beyond, Our three sons sleep
 The sleep of England's sailors, LuIled in the quiet men-of-war That have found peace at last The peace for which we yearn, For which the whole world weepS! l-Katherine Whipp1e Strong, in New York Times.

out their own salvation, apart from the noise and dirt of the city.
 Instead of the old-fashioned dark cell, Dr. Cooley planned for refractory prisoners what he called ''reflection room" Humane treatment and faith in human nature were made to do their part in renewing the bond of life.
 The almshouse buildings were about an enclosed court and cloister, where all might live together as a great fam fly. There was work, according to his ability, for every member of the col ony to occupy his thoughts and pre- vent stagnatton. There was a mea- sure of good will and love manifested to all. Aged, married couples, who had spent a lifetime together, were not separated, as in so many instit1- tfons. Dr. Cooley raised the plea that ADD A LITTLE CHURCH

 So the little church that never seemed to grow up finally did grow up until it became a great Kingdom and filled the whole city.

WOMEN ARE IN
 TOBACCO FIELDS
Farmers Glad to Get Their HeIp-And Find Them
 Efficient.

The tobacco plantations of Sims bury and nearby territory are witness ing the entrance of woman into a new sphere. The large growers have for several years employed a per centage of women, as many of the in side operations could be done more rapidly and more economically by wo- men. But this year W. M. Ketchin of the Ketchin Tobacco Corporation, with large plantations in Hoskins and Tariffvil1e, is employing the experi- ment of using women in the field, and is much pleased with the results.
 Women have been used on the to- bacco settlers and MT. Ketchin says that women who have worked but a few days are as fast and as accurate as men who had set for years.
 MT. Ketchin thinks that he may employ women to help put on cloth, he is of the opinion that many of the operations could be done more rapidly and neatly by women. Wo- men have been employed for years in helping weed the young plants and in the transplanting processes, but this is the first time that they have entered the field to compete in what has been considered mans special do- main.

Grand Duchess Marie

Grand Duchess Marie, the tituIar ruler of the little state of Luxemburz
 will be twenty-two years old tonaor- row. Many conflicting reports have come out of Iuxemburg as to the attitude of the young Grand Duchess to the Germans who invaded her country and who are now in practical possession of her territories It has been alleged that Marie bitterly re- sented the violation of Luxembu
 and that she has become a voIntarv prisoner in her palace, refusing to have anything more than is absolute ly necessary to do with the Kaiser and his officers. Another report. which has the appearance of being more circumstantiaI, is that the Grand Duchess cordially welcomed the Teutons and made no pretense of op- position to their violation of her country's neutrality. This much is Germans invaded Luxemburg, the late Premier Eyschen, who died a few months ago, handed his passports to the French minister and ordered him to leave the country, while the Ger man minister was permitted to re- main. It has been alleged that in so acting the Premier was carrying out the orders of the Grand Duchess, but there is no proof of that It is al most certain that the days of Lsuxe1n- burg's independence are numbered. A German victory would mean that Lux emburg would be incorporated in the Kaiser's empire, although Marie might
 be permitted retain her crown as nominal ruler. The people of Lux emburg would doubtless welcome the Incorporation of their country with Belgium, and this is almost certain to follow an Allied victory, leaving the Grand Duchess without a throne.

FISH BALLS

For this purpose use picked cod or haddock, which should have been soaked over night. Take what will make about an equal quantity of po- totaoes, peel and cut into small pieces.

N. M states: 'I am young mar ried woman of 28. Last year of our marriage my husband does not think it worth while to pay me a compn- ment. I try to dress attractively and look pleasing if he goes out with me or not. A young man tells my sister how attractive I am. If he is at my side, husband is jealous and cross. He usually chats pleasantly at my door during hubby's absence; shakes hands, says 'Howd'y', and, compli- menting, goes. I get blue. Are the chats proper?''

GRADUATION BASKETS AND BOUQUETS.
 JOHN RICK & SON.
Distinctly Personal In Style

sories, these are the details that count. In the frock illustrated the bertha of soft batiste and undercuffs gathered to straight self-bands arc the details that have the most telling influence upon the frock of old blue linen. The waist is cut in blouse style and held in with a girdle of blue snede elasped with a caanoo buckle. In medium size the dress requires 71z yards 3e-inch material.
 Special attention will be paid to the cutting of the waist because it is decidedly new and looks well in other materials for independent wear. Some sections of the pattern are laid on fold of material to be cut, while others are placed on an open width of the linen.
 The piecing for the peplum and front are laid first on the open width of material, which is doubley right sides facing, to be cut in du1 cuff, inserted sleeve section and the sleeve, all placed on a lengthwiss thread eff material Although mado of batiste, the inserted sleeve is cut in the same way as Illustrated.
 The peplum, collar and back of the waist are placed on a lengthwise fold of linen. If desired, the peplum may be made of founcing, many beautiful linens being shown embroidered in eyelet design this season. If this variation is adopted, cut off lower edge of pep1um on small fo' perfora1 tions and place pattern on material with lower edge along bordered edge of material.
 The design is an especially dainty one for all-over embroidery or one of the fashionable bordered mate.
