Aaleen Under Mater.

Some months ago, while the great battleship Dreadnaught was at Nal ia, one of the Eeamen divers went down to clear the propeller from some flotsam that had become entangled, and he failed to come up.
 It eifanced that the rest of the ships divers were ashore, and grave con- cern was felt for the missing man. Signals by telephone and life lines were sent below without avail In the launch above the throb, throh of the air pumps cylinders went on; but the attendants looked at the other in dis may, fearing some tragedy deep down in the heaving waters. The worst was feared when the tools came to the surface.
 The navigating Heutanaat sent ashore for one G1 tffe d;ye1H. %he man came aboard ana dressed imme- diately and went below. only to c0me up full of indignation
 "Why that fellows been asleep all the time" he said, wrathfully
 It was true The man had just had his luncheon, and finding the work much less serious than he had thought he finished in a few minutes and then sat comfortably on one of the giant blades of the dreadnaught's prepeilors and went to sleep, with inquisitiye fishes swarming about him. attracted by the dazzling searchlight on his breast.
 The officers were so amused at the occurrence that no punishment was inflicted on the lazy one.

POETRY.
The Fty-Away Bird.

On, the Fiy-Away Bird is swift of wing, And swift and high is he! And he flies as high. in the blue of the sky, As any birds that be. ] And fleet of foot is the lusty man, As feet as s winged word Who can sprinkle salt without default, On the tail of the F1y-Away- Bird. But the F1y-Away- Bird seems as tame as a hen, Like q barnyard fowl seems he; But the nest he has made, or the egg be has laid. Is 6 stubborn absentee. And when a man. with sprinkle of salt.
 Comes near to his roasting place The bird he darts 10 the outermost parts
 Of the farth..st shores of space. But we an chase after the FIy-kway- Bird.
 Over river and mountain and dale And think in an hour we'll have the power.
 To sprinkle the salt on his tail: But still, since the base of the planet was laid us No fortunate fellow has felt of the mellow
 Bright plumes of the F7y-Away Bird. For the Fly-Away- Bird is our own bright dream, 'Tis the hope that was born with man; Then follow 1t far. to the uttsrmost star.
  And the man who has no Fly Away Bird
 Is a mortal most forlorn: IL were better that he should be sunk in the sea, Or that he had never been born. see, he lights up there on the Crags of Hope, And his wings they gleam in the With the gorgeous dyes of the sunset When the summer day is done: And though this bird was never yet caged
 Ln narrower cage than the sky Whoso Is deterred from chasing the bird.
 Iris time for that man to die. Then up and away for the Fly-Away- Birdi
 Let us lead him a jolly good race And let every man know that the bird that flies low Is no kind of a bird to chase. Then up and away for this high flying
 fowl,
 Let him pierce to the deeps of the
 sky: Let him understand, with the salt in our hand
 We'll chase till the day that we die

April Days.

Tn our methodieai American life we still recognize some magic in summer. Most persons, at least, resign them selves to being decently happy in June. They accept June, compliment it's weather, complain of the earlier months as cold, and so spend them in the city; and they complain of the later months as hot and so refrigerate themselves on some barren seacoast.
 God offers us yearly a necklace of twelve pearls; most men choose the fairest, label it June. and cast the rest away.
 There are no days in the whole round year more delicious than those which often come to us in the latter half of April.
 But days even earlier than these in April, have a charm-even days that seem raw and rainy, when the sky is dull and beeuest of March wind ling gers chasing the squirrel from the tree and the children from the mea- dows.
 There is a fascination In walking through these bare early woods, there is such a pauee of preparation. win ter's work is so cleanly and thorough ly done. Everything is taken down and put away throughout the leafy areades the branches show no remnant of last year.
 Then comes the sweetness of the nights in latter April. There is as yet no evening primrose to open suddenly, not aster to drop it's petals but the May flower knows the hour, and be- comes more fragrant in the darkness, so that one can then often ind it in the woods without aid from the eye.
 The earliest familiar token of the coming season is the expansion of the stiff catkins of the older into soft,

Food conservation is the aim Of every patriot worth the name. We can in eating to choose The foods that soldiers do not use, White four and fats and sugar give To those who fight that we may live. Mamma plans now in countless ways For meatless, wheatless, wasteless

and food and the green roots go up for sunshine and air, for the roots could not live If the plant did not breathe through the leaves, which are also circt1lators of the sap or blood
 And do you know that what all breathing creatures cast out of their lungs in breathing helps the plants to live and thrive; and what the plants discharge from their tiny mouths in the leaves help all animals to live and thrive. Animals poison the air in breathing, and plants purify it, and in this way a balance is maintained which preserves both in life.
 So you see we are inter related even to the rocks on the hills, for the min eral kingdom furnishes the plants with chemicals which form fibre for wood and bones for man.
 This is a great world we live in, and it is wonderfully operated by the ac- ton of the winds, the sun and the water. Only the fool saith in his heart There is no God"

At Sunset.

I have seen sunsets before; cold De- ceinber sunsets, when like a great f1ickering lamp the sun begins by growing dinner with each fading mo- ment-then suddenly goes out, leaving the world in darkness, to grope it's way through the night; sublime autumnal sunsets-sunsets that the artist loves to paint, trying courageously, though vainly to catch those ephemeral colors, the Infinite mixes fresh each day, be- fore he daubs the great blue canvas of his sky; city sunsetS-VieWed from tue high, dusty windows of some tow ering skyscraper, hemmed in on all sides by the grim and dirt. noise and pandemonium of a great metropolis. The sunsets of late Indian summer visions of crimson and furnished gold that finger until the sun, a huge, round ball of fire drop below the horizon line, smiling a parting benedietien up
 on the world in the lingering beauty of a last aural flush; sunsets that fade and sunsets that last long into the quiet. grey of twilight, giving to the world for nothing that which the world cannot buy-one little touch of happiness-one little vision of God!
 But this sunset I viewed from the top of an airy observation-surrou
