A CRITICISM A VOLUME OF VERSE BY S. E. KISER. A worthy member of the band of holiday books is "The Land of Little Care," by Samuel Ellsworth Kisek, a collection of poems which Mr. Kiser has chosen to meet the need of every mood. The in- itial poem from which the collection is named contains a note of cheer for the weary pilgrim who has begun to wonder if it is wotrh while. We quote the last stanza: Come, little comrade, let me guide, you out beyond the roar and rattle, And show you that the world is wide, that life is not an endless battle, And through the joy that you shall know and through the glee of your expression, The boyhood I had long ago shall come again to my possession. There is a wide range of sentiment in the book--child verse, verses of philosophy, of sympathy, of mirth and humor and some that cause the tear to start and in them all a wholesomeness of expression of thoughts and experiences which are a part of the every day life of the every day person. _» We give below a few verses representative of seine of the many subjects treated: THE VOICES OF THE CHILDREN. 1 find no rest upon the wide, blue sea, For little children ever call to me-- The little ones 1 might have helped Xo save. The starving ones to whom 1 never gave. I find no rest when I lie down to sleep, For ever 1 can hear the children weep-- The little ones who served me in their need. The children whom 1 stunted in my greed. I find no rest upon my rich domain, For always I keep hearing them complain -- The children left to sicken and despair Because 1 selfishly refused to care. JOHNNY'S AGE. 1 in just exactly old enough, To always have to run Winn ma wants something 1'khh ill- .-l-.ie Or pa can think of something more Around here to be done I in lots and lots too oKt .it l«-.i.-.l That's what I h« v always say To fly a kite or have a siirig Or ever do most anything They seem to think is plav i>ut pa and ma w lien I'm around, .Most always whisper, though Or else they make me hurry out 'Cause they've so much to talk about That I'm too young to know THE CHANCE. \\ c ;->l^h l>< cause no chance remains r or us to win renown or praise, Or claim the Large material gains Which we have longed for all oiu <l<iy.-v And presently some unknown one Continues to make himself sublime By doing tilings we might have done Jf we had thought of them in time HIS SHIP. "My ship. lie said, "will come some day. With riches in its hold for me." He let his best years drift away. What time he watched beside the sea When age had made him blind and weak He wondered at the long delay; The reason was not far to seek: He'd never sent a ship away. The book is attractive in its make-up. coming in two bindings, a crash buckram and in English natural leather, boxed in either case. In making a Christmas list it deserves consideration. Use of -Poetry. We beliere that poetry, far from in- juring society, is one of the great in- struments of its refinement and exalt- ation. It lifts the mind above ordi- nary life, gives it a respite from de- pressing* cares and awakens the con- sciousness of its affinity with what la pure and noble.--Channlng. Formation of Friendship. We cannot teli the precise moment j when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by droD. there', Is at least a drop which makes it run ! over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one %hich makes the heart nm over.--From Boswell's Life of Johnson. bREAMS PROTECT OUR SLEEP Reasonable Explanation of Events Which Have Been a Puzzle to the Minds of Students. Dreams seem a mere play of imag- ination without any value--the more as every serious student has recog- nized that It is absurd to think that dreams have any prophetic character. But, in recent times, science has dis- covered the probable purpose of the dreams, and has found in this case again that nature does not give to us anything which is superfluous. In the present view of science, dreams fulfill the purpose of pro- tecting our sleep, and this end is reached by those apparently meaningless flights of the imagi- nation. Most dreams start from some disturbance or excitement of our organism. Something may press on us, or touch us, or we may hear a sound, or we may have some digestive trouble, or we may He in an uncomfortable position, and so on. Any such disturbance would excite the mind and would easily lead to a breaking up of the sleep which is nec- essary for us in order to be fresh for the next day's work. The dream provides the solution. In creating a fantastic background for that disturbance, by which the Inner excitement becomes adapted to a whole situation in which it fits well, our efforts to remove it becomes sidetracked and the sleep can go on without interruption. We may have thrown off a blanket and feel cold. Our dream brings us to a snowy winter land- scape In the midst of the cold winter day, where we begin to skate, and all the coldness is then so natural and well adjusted to the whole illusory ex- perience that our mind moves on without destroying the sleep.--From St. Nicholas.

It is an easy matter to clean a rusty rifle barrel, but when the rust has pitted the metal to any depth, the ac- curacy of the rifle Is destroyed. When the rust Is very thick saturate the in- side of the barrel with coal oil, and allow it to soak well in for an hour or more. When the rust has softened somewhat wrap some tow around the ramrod, and pour enough coal oil up- on It to thoroughly moisten it, and push in a rotary manner through the barrel and back a dozen times. When the tow gets very dirty renew it and continue the process until the coarser portion of the rust has been removed. A round brush of stiff bristles is next fixed to the ram rod, moistened thor oughly with the oil, and twisted into a barrel, running it back and forth at least a dozen timea, thub loosening the dirt that has been more firuily attach- ed to It. The firbt operation Is now repeated, except that the tow on the ramrod la left dry, and the rubbing with this must be continued in all directions as long as it comes out soiled. The use of wire brushes is objectionable for cleaning guns, as the numerous steel points cut into the tube. Careful cleaning of the metal parts after use, and giving them a coat of petroleum or sweet oil when laid aside, will keep a rifle free from rust and ready for use at all times. \ H. E.
