—— TENDING THE LIGHT. With nothing but waves to seaward And the grim rocks toward the land, The roll of the black clouds over, And the breakers on every hand; The night comes down on the ocean And we climb the winding stair To see that our lights are plercing The thick'ning foggy alr. at Far up at the mouth of the river, Beyond the narrow beach The last of the home lights twinkle And sink away from our reach, Alone on a rock in the desert Of tumbling and tossing tide; The nation’s outer signal To wanderers far and wide. Alone, we wander dimly If the foghorn reaches the shore Or pierces the outer stretches That tumble and toss evermore. Perchance in the little village Some fisherwife wakes in the night And peers from her smoky window To see if we're shining bright. Or out of the bill A helmsman thousand As they rush night. Alone on a rock in the desert And hungry for those on shore, Tae screams of the gull breakers Around us forevermore J. Otis Swift in Lew yn Journal.

A Poppy Pincushion. All you require to make a poppy pincushion is a penny roll of red crinkied paper, a plece of black ma terial, some sawdust and a yard of narrow green ribbon. Cut the black material Into a circle the size of a small saucer, run round the edge with some very strong black thread, about one-quarter inch from the outside; fill the center with sew- dust, and draw the cotton up tightly 80 that it forms a little puddinglike pad, and fasten off the cotton firmly. Next cut out some large poppy leaves out of the red paper and sew them round the black center, so that it re semblos a flower. When you have got the leaves In position, make the back neat by sewing another piece of black stuff round the gathered up part, and then double the ribbon and sew the doubled end firmly to the back of the pad, tying the ends into a pretty bew just above the poppy to hang it up by. Then gently press out the edge of each of the paper leaves and stick the center full of pins. You could, of course, have pink poppies, or yellow, or white poppies, but in the first case you would want a green centre, and in the others a one, but green should be used In each case, since this represents the stale yellow Canine Intelligence. yellow pup well trained.” Jimme—"Dat so?” Pete—"You bet.
