Countless the sand on the seashore; Endless the billow rolls: Birth-teeming earth where dwells the poor; Earth reaps but releases, souls. Myriads the stars in the night sky; Glorious the sun by day.; White is the big moon sliding by; Autumn leaves drop to..decay. Earth has her flaming fires burn And belch lurid from tlicir craters; Mankind from savagery can turn, Be lovers or he haters. The mighty abyss may hold a form. Arid give it up? No, never; The frozen peaks will court the storm ; ■The glacier ices ever. The foaming falls, can thunderous pour O’er precipices steep; The tides can gently lap the shore . And wake none from their sleep. Mighty the forests ages' old/; Millions the birds sing free; Countless the sea-gulls white and bold That prey on the fish in the sea. Flowers that bloom for the buzzing bee; Seeds and fruit for the bird; Man has lisa and love for a tree; But war drums his blood has stirred. If he would live—then he must fight, And a song of triumph sing And let him know that right is might, For God, self, country, King. MRS. DOUGLAS BLAIR, “Tulliallan,” Haiti. MELBA. Dame Nellie Melba left Melbourne lor Europe yesterday. At Geelong, Victoria, on Oeioher 27, she sang grand opera for tile first time in Geelong, and in a short speech at the curtain she said “If you have enjoyed my singing as much as J have enjoyed singing to you we are all pleased.” The Mechanics’ Hall was crowded, many persons being accommodated on the stage for the entertainment, which not only, serv-ed.-as a farewell to Melba; but also as a farewell to Miss Elena Danieh, who, through her frequent appearances in Geelong, during the John Brownlee season, became well-known to Geelong people. Miss Danieli will leave with Dame Nellie Melba. Melba’s reappearance in grand opera was a compliment to Miss Danieh, whom she “discovered” in. Paris three years ago, and of whom she had a high opinion. Before her concert Dame Nellie Melba stated that she- had obtained as a gift to the Geelong Art Gallery an historical picture, depicting the announcement of Governor Blights • arrest, by Mr. Raymond Lindsay, a son of Mr. Norman Lindsay. She decided to make the presentation as a compliment to Mr. Howard Hitchcock and his work for so any people in Geelong.

SDMIi) ASPECTS OF PROHIBITION

INTOLERANCE. (By a Woman.) V. It is to be queried if the women who thoughtlessly vote Prohibition ever realise the harm, they may do to those moderate drinkers who have learnt to use and not abuse alcohol. Take the case of elderly people whoso failing physical powers demand a stimulant. Perhaps these old people have made the taking of whisky twice a day a habit of many years. Can such a haltifc be.characterised as bad, when to them a drink may. mean waraJfßh when their old blood is chjsledl comfort when they are dcpjessfcL and sweet sleep at ljjghtv' fWIW woman who has badJjhe J® rc iff people wxnijM Did there is^^clais^wnmli allows a certain am of nt or spirituous liquor to bo suppliw to each person for medical purposes fen ly, but what is the limit. It must be rememltered that two mips of whisky a day for two people means the consumption of about one gallon a month. Would the clause allow such a quantity? and wlmt, under Prohibition, would he the price of this amount? Also, how often would these old peop'.e be compelled to renew their medical permit, and at what cost? Further, would they have to stand for hours in a queue in a public place before they could obtain it? ~ Women of New Zealand, think we before you, too, join the ranks of that intolerant party, who. for the sake of saving a problematical few, mean to victimise the many.*
