THE WINDS AND THE WAVES.

The ocean lay as If asleep,
So calm it was and still;
With only ripples out at play,
It seemed devoid of will.
The winds with rush and roar swept
by, izI
And woke the mighty deep
The waves uprose and winds and
waves
Against each other sweep.
They clash with frenzied froth and
foam.
Mad, with opposing force;
They plunge and lunge and lash and
crash,
Armed by the selfsame source.
Quite spent at last and impotent,
They are but as they were;
The ocean lies as If asleep,
No slightest winds a-stir.
Even as winds and waves are forced
By cosmic laws to clash,
30 10 the human race impelled
The sword and gun to flash.
After war, comes peace again,
As with the winds and waves:
And life II fair and love Is sweet,
And grass grows over graves.

Editor Herald.-My attention has

line. Ordinarily l consider it as we'll
to pass matters by, but when am &C.
cused of doing wrong consider it too
much like an admission to say moth
ing have been going to school here,
and have been paying my living ex-
penses by taking orders for various
articles of merchandise, including
wearing apparel, laces and embroid-
cries. l have also taken some orders
for phosphates and elders which the
manufacturers guarantee to be strict
ly temperate drinks. All of these
goods are shipped direct to the custo-
mers. l have never at any time sold
or taken orders for apple-jack and l
am satisfied that none of the elders
were "hard" or the least alcoholic or
Intoxicating. l am absolutely innocent
of the charge laid in Pacific county
and shall answer the same at the
proper time and l shall be very sorry
indeed if the officials Of this county
shall see fit to put me to annoyance
and expense by accusing me of things
of which am wholly innocent, largely
because of the errors of another
county.
If l had any idea that any of the
elders for which I have taken orders
were illegal l would Immediately quit
them, but the first intimation I had
from any source of any complaint was
that from Pacific county. l am sure
they are mistaken, and in fact the Of
ficials of that county must be looking
for some other person for l made no
sales there at the time complained of.
In the meantime, until this matter is
cleared up, l am taking no further
orders, for it would be the last thing
would want to be engaged in--the
business of bootlegging.

of the animal from the hind quarters
There are also crests and whOrls Ga the

In some countries tattooing is adopted
for several purposes. For example, in
Samoa when woman is married sew
eral tattoo marks are placed on her. and
both in Fiji and Samoa the birth Of each
child is registered in this way on the
mothers hand. At Tahiti serious crimes
are punished by tattooing mark upon
the forehead of the delinquent.
