Home | Sweet Home !

Ii is more than ninety years since
"Home Sweet Home p was written, but
its popularity is still worldwide, and
wherever the English language is spoken
il is known and loved because il appeals
TO that deep-lYing instinct in humanity
which is the basis OF family life.
Many stories have been written OF its
origin, most OF them more or less inaccu-
rate and tending TO distort reality by a
mass OF pleasing fiction.
Moving pictures have been drawn
OF the starving author in his garret, and
illustrations have been published of the
original "lowly thatched cottage" for
which he was supposedly pining, both
affecting and interesting but not in accord
ance with the facts. Although he had
periods offailure and hardship, as well as
possibly briefer periods OF success and
prosperity, it was not while suffering
from poverty that he wrote "Home
Sweet Home |" but during time when
he was living comfortably in Paris in the
Palais Royal, and having considerable
success in his dramatic work.
There is also no evidence TO indicate
that the "lowly thatched cottage" had
any existence outside OF the authors
brain, in spite of the tradition which has
been built up about the Easthampton cot
tage.
Throughout his life Payne had deep
affection for his native land, his friends,
and his family, from whom he was for
many years widely separated. His let
ters frequently allude TO his longing for
the society OF those he loved and his ap-
probation OF the home and domestic life .
He was only fifteen years OF age, when
necessity forced him to begin his battle
with the world, precocious, high spirit
ed, impulsive, sensitive, ambitious boy,
conscious OF an intellect above the nor
NAL, restive under restraint, quick to take
offence at seeming slight.

A Ped Feast For The Birds.

High up in the mountains The birds
such OF them as remain-are Teasing
these days on scarlet berries, cIiuging 10
the bare twigs OF low, spreading tree.
These berries provided the birds
Thanksgiving dinner, also provided their
Christmas dinner, and unless the birds are
too greedy there will be some left for
the cousins who spend the winter in the
South when they return next March. The
trees name is mountain ash.
The fruit, which the birds enjoy. has
thin flesh and bony seed. In pay
ment for winters board, the birds carry
away the berries, eat the outside, the
flesh, and drop the seed. They are help
ing the mountain ash TO conquer new
territory by planting its seed in out-of-
the-way places.
But the mountain ash has attractions
for humans as well as for birds. In May
and June its branches bear clusters oi
creamy white flowers, furnishing one oi
the sights Of the woods in its season. lis
fern-like leaves, from six inches TO foot
long, are composed OF many Leaflets. In
autumn they turn yellow, forming bril-
liant background for IFS red berries. The
mountain ash prefers cold climate. and
sticks close 10 the mountain tops.

A Curious Eel Farm.

On the Danish island OF Zealand there
has long been in operation a novel eel
farm. A tract of lowlaHd near an arm OF
the sea has been transformed into great
shallow pond. EeIs live mostly in fresh
water, but when fully grown they seek
salt water to spawn. The eel larvae,
drifting about in salt water, develop into
tiny eels, called elvers. These elvers
naturally seek fresh water, and each spring
the eel farmers pump quantities of fresh
water into the sea near their pond, which
attracts the eIyers in great numbers.
Seeking the fresh water, they crawl
through the sluices into the pond, ropes
OF twisted straw being provided TO fscil-
itate their passage. They find them
selves in trap at the head Of the sluice,
and after being counted are turned into
the pond. Three hundred thousand
young eeIs were thus captured last spring
As full grown eel seeks salt water, if is
used as bait 10 capture eels ready for
market. Sea water is pumped into spe-
cial boxes about the pond and the big
fellows are thus secured.

Dead Letters.

Twice year, in Washington, they hold
a curious auction. II is called the Dead
Letter Sale, but in reality il is the sale OF
packages that have been sent 10 the Dead
Letter Office because oil deficient postage
or wrong directions.
After these packages have been held
for certain length OF time, in order 10
give senders or owners an opportunity
TO claim them, they are sold at public auc-
tion.
II is often a strange and pathetic col
lection. Most OF the articles are cheap
enough, although valuable things are not
lacking; but who can estimate the in
trinsic value of some of those lost gifts
the time, and sacrifice, and love they rep
resent t.? How many disappointed hearts
must have watched in vain for them |
How many lives were robbed OF hap
piness that rightfullY belonged 10 them,
because OF the sender's carelessness or
ignorance
Is there not a parable lurking some
where about this strange auction? How
many lives are there today that hold the
possibility OF gifts for other lives, yet
through carelessness or ignorance or in
difference are robbing both themselves
and others ? The woman whose love is
spent upon some valuable pet when there
are little children all about her starving
for that love; the girl whose taste and
skill are spent in score OF useless ways
when they might be putting so much
beauty into beauty starved lives; the
men whose business ability is all spent
on making money, and none ofit on max
ing men and women the young people
OF quick minds and brilliant possibilities,
who are unwilling TO undergo the disci-
pline necessary to develop their talents
these and scores Of others every day are
carelessy making dead letters" OF gifts
for which eager eyes and hearts are long
ing.
There is no sale OF these dead gifts
no one has any chance al them. They
are doubly lost-lost 10 the one who
should have used them, and 10 the world
that needs them. What pitifu waste
OF power and Joy
