One dream was dearer that night
than the best Of their boyhood,
One hope more radient than any
of their hearts could prize
The touch OF your hand,
The light Of your face, England
So, age to age shall tell how they
sailed through the darkness,
Where, under those high, austere,
implacable stars,
Not one in ten
Might look for a dawn again.
They saw the ferryboatS Iris and
Daffodil, creeping
Darkly as clouds to the simmer
ing mlne-strewn bars,
Flash into light
Then thunder Redeemed the night.
The wild white swords of the search
lights blinded and stabbed them.
The sharp black shadows fought in
fantastic wars
Black waves leapt whitening,
Red decks were washed with
lightning.
But, under the twelve-inch guns of
the black and-batterles,
The hacked bright hulk, in a
glory of cracking srars,
Moved to her goal
Like an immortal soul.
That. while its raw rent flesh in fur
mace is tortured,
Relgns by law no agony ever can
shake;
And shines in power
Above all shocks of the hour.
Oh, there, viii. the decks ran blcod
and the star-shels lightened,
The shatterlng ship that the enemy
never could break
Swept through the FIRE
And grappled her hearts desire
There, on wreck that blazed with the
soul of England,
The lads that died in the dark for
England's sake
Knew, as they died,
Nelson was at their side;
Nelson, and all the ghostly fleets Of
b. island,
s..a. Beside hem there, and the
soul of Drakel-
Dreams, as we knew,
Til these lads made them true
Hon. should aps praiJt you, lads Of the

Anything taken into the body to
produce muscle may be termed food.
They may be liquid or solid, since it
performs the desired end-the pro
ducing of bone and muscle, and
brings about a transformation of it
self into blood, etc. Thus sustaining
life, it may be Justly classed as food.
Understand me now, the writer is
not saying that all liquids are food
for such a statement would be un-
true. Liquids are foods only when
they contain a certain amount of
solid matter or when they contain
elements which form part Of these
constituents that belong to food
proper. For instance wheat bread
contains a certain per cent of ASH
sugar carbohydrates, nitrates, etc
Albumen, phosphates, proteids, etc.
which serve as essentials in the build
ing of tissue. Now If liquids con-
tain similar elements, they may be
classed as foods only to that extent.
Milk is a good specimen.
Now to conserve is to put away,
to hold over, to retain for future use,
to not let get away, to be saving. Ex-
travagance is to waste, to be lavish,
