much closer together.
Care was taken by the foreign min

Poetic Language

How then do we distinguish poetic
language: The fact is, l think, that
there is no hard and fast distinction.
1t hns often been asserted that by
poetic language we mean the presence
of metre Now, as we shall see, metre
is, beyond doubt, the kind OF rhythm
most suitable as rule for the pur-
poses of peetry. But metre is simply
one of the devices available to poetic
expression; and if it happens that
some other kind of rhythm will do just
as well or better, and if everything
else we require is there it seems mere
ly arbitrary to withhold the title of
poetry, A definition of poetry would
surely look very foolish, if 1t would
exclude the English Versions of job
or the Song Of Songs."-Lascelles

Spiders in Arrozon
Biz ns Small Ret

A traveller who has recently returned
from an expedition into the forests of
the Amazon tells that he was much
more frightened by the huge spiders
he encountered than by the jaguars,
according to London Answers. There
is certainly something awe-inSpiring in
his description of a species of Amazon
spiders as creatures with long legs,
fat black bodies, about the size of a
young rat, and the wickedest, most
fendish eyes imaginable!
These spiders make trap doors on
the ground, beautifully camouflaged,
and so perfectly balanced that they
shut by their own weight. Beneath
them are tunnels or pits in which the
huge spiders watch for their prey.
Another spider is spotted like a
leopard and spins a web quite yard
across. The strands of this huge web,
suspended between two trees, are so
strong and tough that if a small bird
flies into them it is unable to escape
before the arrival of the spider, which
makes short work of its struggles.

To Withstand Cold

The tiny needles of evergreens have
a different appearance in winter ant
are darker and more shriveled. The
chlorophyll granules have withdrawn
from the surface as far as possible
and the water content is greatly re-
duced, says Nature Magazine of Wash
ington. In this condition the alter
nate freezing and thawing OF winter
days seem to do no harm, and the
leaves are ready in the spring 10 re
sumo their work of starch making. But
even evergreen needles do not live
long. They die and drop as new ones
come, and the average tree has its
needles replaced in from three to five
wears. SO gradual is this process, how
ever, that the tree always appears to
be well clothed.

Children

Some people without little children
seem to have complete lives, but they
are only d few. In these days, when
we are SO keenly interested in the fu-

seems as if children have more to add
to our lives even than formerly. No
parent who gets away with the job
can be an egOtist, a neurOtic, narrow,
vain or weak. No parent with any
mind at all can help feeling close to
the springs of life, and in touch with

North Brooklin.
A GIFTED YOUNG MAN.

An unusual young man has been
speaking from the pulpit at North
Brooklin. He is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Everett Lowering, of Somer-
vile, Mass, and a grandson of Sgd
ney Hamilton of South Bluehill, for
whom the lad is named. Sydney is
but fifteen years old, large for his
aSe. Of mature mind, with quiet,
pleasing personality, The father is a
musician of prominence in his com
munity, and it is but natural that
the mantle should fall upon the sons
shoulders. He has speaking and
singing voice of fine carrying quail
ties, is d trained accompanist and his
knowledge of the bible is convincing
and appealing.
Two weeks ago young Sydney
spoke from the text, who Is My
Neighbour" and instantly he won
every persons attention and admira-
ton. Last week he spoke again
upon the Golden Rule, Judge Not
That Ye Be Not Judged and the
easy flow of language, the fine de-
auctions, the kindly advice, together
with an outline of the outstanding
teaching of the Christ and the SINH
larity between Christs admonitions
and those of other great characters
of various ages, proved that the boy
has a call and mission.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lowering are to be
congratulated, and all feel sure that
their son has a career. He is so en-
tirely free from egotism, that it will
be a privilege to watch this young
man grow and fulfill his destiny
North Brooklin extends to him her
best wishes.
