DOCTOR MOTHER.
A tittle wound, a little ache.
A little blistered thumb to take
With touch of love and make it we!!?
These things requive ;; mother's spell.
Ah. sweet the progress ot' the skill
That science brings unto the ill!
Vast range of methods new and line,
But when car little ones repine,
The mother is the very best
Of doctors into service pressed!
Sunshine anil air and mother's spell
Of helping little lads get well,
And helping little lasses, too?
Here are three remedies that do
So much more, often than the grave,
Skilled bands that tried so hard to save.
For Dr. Mother, don't yon know,
Oives something more than skill?gives so
Much of herself; gives, ch. so mucn.
Of love's sweet alchemy of touch!
Upon a little wardroom bed
A little curl encircled head.
A little slender hand and pale.
A little lonesome, homesick wail,
Roved nursing, best of skill and care;
But, oh. behold the wonder there,
When Dr. Mother, bearing sun
From where the wilding roses run.
Leans down,with hungering love and kissThere
is 110 medicine like this!

Pain, ache, or life wound's throb and

The Dr. Mother knows so well
The weaving of love's wonder spell?
Just what tne little heart requires,
Just how to cool the fever fires:
Just how much tenderness and cheer
Will calm the little doubt and fear.
How much of tenderness will ease?
Alone she knows such arts as these!

I SEARCHING FOR
1 . CASTAWAYS. I
* BY FREDERICK SEARS. ||
S Late of the New Zealand Government Surrey. ^
^ (An interesting account of a nautical errand ^
T of mercy. Far out in the lonely Southern x
2 Ocean lie the desolate isles of the Antipodes? -j35
a deadly menace to ships. So terrible have SJ
x been the experiences of sailors wrecked upon x
these islands that the New Zealand Govern*
ment decided to form depots of provisions for J*
*S> the use of castaways. In this article Mr. Sears w
w describes the voyage of the Government w
W steamer, and how she rescued a party of ship- <il>
A wrecked men from one of the islands. ns
g;.V J
Far away over the trackless ocean,
on the verge of the Great Southern
Ice Belt, some seven hundred miles
south of New Zealand, and swept by
the furies of perpetual blizzards, lie
the desolate Antipodes ? Bounty,
'Auckland, Enderby and Campbell Islands,
belonging to New Zealand, and
the Macquaries, belonging to Tasmania.
Ail these islands are totally
uninhabited, and many a fine vessel
has laid her bones at the foot of
their cruel crags, while the luckless
souls who have escaped a watery
grave have met a far more dreadful
fate?a slow and miserable death
from starvation. Many records are
still to be found on the island^, tell?
ing their own tales of shipwreck, despair,
starvation and death. So
dreadful are some of these records
that the New Zealand Government,
tinder the leadership of that grand
old empire builder, the late Prime
Minister, Mr. R. J. Seddon, P. C.,
have erected depots for castaways on
each island. This humane step has
already been the means of saving
many lives.
The Government relief depots are
galvanized iron sheds about fifteen
feet by* twenty, and contain tinned
meat, biscuits, cocoa, tea, flour,
matches-; candles, lamps, kerosene,
axes, fishing tackle, blankets, cloth- i
ing, ^loth, needles, cotton, etc., together
with a good, seaworthy,
< , decked boat fitted with sails, oars,
compass, and a chart giving the
course to the Bluff Lighthouse, the
nearest point of New Zealand.
The islands are visited once a year
by the Government steamer Hinemoa.
She goes to search for castaways who
may have been wrecked since her
last visit, to repair any damages done
to the depots by the frequent storms,
and to overhaul the stocks of provisions.
This very wise undertaking,
as already stated, has been the means
of saving many lives.
My official duties as an officer of
the New Zealand Government Survey
necessitated my accompanying
the vessel to the islands, and thfs
article is the result of my trip.
Previous to the erection of the
depots the Derry Castle was lost on
Enderby Island, and the ship's logslate
still hangs in the depot there.
It is the half of a folding
slate, tied together at the corners
with pieces of sinnet, or rope yard.
The wording has been cut on the
slate?probably with a sharp nail?
and reads: "Sacred to the memory
of captain, first and second officers,
and twelve of the crew who lost their
lives by wreck of the Derry Castle
on the north side of Enderby Island,
March 20, 18S7. The survivors were
taken from the island by the schooner
Awarana, July 21, IS87. Wm. Rennie,
A. B.; Dan Sullivan, A. B.; Nick
Wallace, A. B.; F. Fernace, A. B.;
John Husband, A. B.; Alex. Nyberg,
A. B.; Hugh Logan, A. B.; James
McGhie, passenger. Xames of the
lost: James Goffe, captain; F. F.
Robins, first officer; Rassmussen, second
officer; C. Reynolds, C. Williams,
P. Olsen, Johnson, Peterson, Karlson,
Gill, Reid; four names not known.
Tctal, fifteen."
The wording on the graves is very
much .weatherworn, but one slab
contains the following: "Sacred
to the memory of C. H. Mafcony,
master mariner, and the second
officer of the ship Inverauld,
wrecked on this island 15th May,
1864. Died of starvation." The
small grave to the left is that of the
captain's little daughter, and the centre
of the tablet is formed by the
ship's grindstone. The lettering on
the other headboards is too much obliterated
to be legible, but the terrible
words, "Died of starvation,5- are
on each.
01 all the isl2Edr, the most desc'
\
late are the Bounties, lying in fortyeight
degrees south, 179 degrees
west. Not a vestige of vegetation or
blade of grass is to be found from one
end of these barren penguin rookeries
to the other, so that, but for the Government
depots, the lot of any unfortunates
wrecked upon them would
be hapless indeed.
We arrived at the Bounties after
a stormy passage, but could not make
a landing owing to the heavy surf
beating on the iron-bound coast. It
was just about the breeding season
for the penguins, but there wan no
sign of one to be seen or heard. Being
unable to land, we put to sea to
dodge about till calmer weather
came. Two days later we made the
islands wgain. The penguins had arrirpri
and thp rnrks were literally
swarming with them. Whence had
they come, and where had they got
into such fat, fine condition? Had
they come from some unknown lands
beyond the Great Ice Belt? Nature
holds the secret. But as suddenly as
they came, so, when the breeding season
is over, in a day they are all gone
?whither no man knows.
The Macquarie Islands, which are
Tasmanian territory, lie in fifty-eight
degrees south, 161 degrees west? j
roughly, 700 miles south of New Zea- I
land. On arriving at the remote |
group we had the satisfaction of res- j
cuing the shipwrecked crew of the
schooner Gratitude, of New Zealand.
During a succession of adverse gales
the Gratitude was carried down to
the Macquarie Islands and stranded j
on its inhospitable shore, where she j
now lies. It was indeed a lucky thing (
for the crew of six men that the ves- |
sel did not go ashore about 200 yards '
farther south?on the three pinnacles j
of rocks known as the "Needles"?as I
should they by any chance have !
there would in all likelihood have j
been no one left to tell the tale; and j
scrambled ashore there, they would ;
certainly have died of starvation long !
before our arrival, as there were no !
store depots on the Macquarie Islands j
at that time.
The poor fellows had been on the j

shall never forget their wild excitement
as our whaleboat neared the
shore and they realized that after ,
the weary months of heart-breaking
anxiety and suspense their dreary imprisonment
was at last at an end. I
was the first to speak to them, but
for some time they could not find
their tongues, they were so overjoyed.
I made an inspection of the mouldy,
decayed provisions saved from the
wreck?on which they had been
eking out existence?and also the
huts they had built with timbers from
their ship, and I shuddered to think
what their fate would have been if
we had not visited the islands. The
loneliness of this inaccessible group
has a depressing effect upon one, and
I was as thankful as the castaways
were to see the Macquaries sink below
the horizon and feel our gallant
little ship riding over the mountainous
waves with a hurricane roaring
behind us. After three months' tossing
about on our errand of mercy we
were homeward bound again, having
had the good fortune to rescue some
of our fellow-creatures from starvation
and a lingering death on the j
lonely isles of the Southern Ocean.? j

The Canadian Government and
people are greatly interested by the
possibility of a short haul of Canadian
grain to Hudson Bay, whence it could
be taken to Europe by ship. The alternative
routes all involve either
long railroad hauls or a combined
railway haul and a long steamboat
carriage down the lakes.
The Dominion Government has
just published a description of the
cruise of the Neptune to gain information
a^. to the possibilities of a
northern route as an outlet for the
grain crop.
The conclusion is that Hudson
Strait is navigable for ordinary iron
steamships from July 20 to November
1, and this period may be increased,
without much risk, by a week in the
beginning of the season and by perhaps
two weeks at the close. The
same dates apply to the navigation of
Hudson Bay from the strait to Fort
Churchill.
Fort Churchill is practically the
only available harbor as a terminus
for railways from the Northwest or
from Ontario, if the proposal to extend
the Government railways to tidewater
is carried out.
The Hudson Bay route would save
1000 miles in transportation, writes

The President Appeals to the School Children
to Obserce It Thoughtfully.
Washington, D. C. ? President
Roosevelt issued a kind of personal
proclamation to "The school children
of the United States." It contains an
appeal to them to observe Arbor Day
in a thoughtful spirit, with the purpose
of preserving the forests for
future generations. This is the
President's appeal:
To the School Children of the United
States:
Arbor Day (which means simply
"tree day") is now observed in every
State-in our Union and mainly in the
schools. At various times from January
to December, but chiefly in this
month of April, you give a day or
part of a day to special exercises and
perhaps to actual tree planting in
recognition of the importance of trees
to us as a nation and of what they
yield in adornment, comfort and useful
products to the communities in
wnicn you live.
It is well that you should celebrate
your Arbor Day thoughtfully, for
within your lifetime the nation's need
of trees will become serious. We of
an older generation can get along
with what we have, though with
growing hardship; but in your full
manhood and womanhood you will
want what nature once so bountifully
supplied and man so thoughtlessly
destroyed; and because of thrt want
you will reproach us not for what we
have used but for what we have
wasted. .1
For the nation, as for'the man or
woman and the boy or girl, the road
to success is the right use of what we
have and the improvement of present
opportunity. If you neglect to prepare
yourselves now for the duties
and responsibilities which will fall
upon you later, if you do not learn
the things which you will need to
know when your school days are over,
you will suffer the consequences. So
any nation which in its youth lives
only for the day reaps without sowing
and consumes without husbanding,
must expect the penalty of the
prodigal whose labor could with difficulty
find him the bare means of life.
A people without children would
face a hopeless future; a country
without trees is almost as hopeless;
forests which are so used that they
cannot renew themselves will soon
vanish and with them all their benefits.
A true forest is not merely a
storehouse full of wood, but, as it
were, a factory of wood, and at the
same time a reservoir of water.
When you help to preserve our for
ests or to plant new ones you are
acting the part of good citizens. The
value of forestry deserves, therefore,
to he taught in the schools, which
aim to make good citizens of you. If
your Arbor Day exercises help you to
realize what benefits each one of you
receives from the forests and how by
your assistance these benefits may
continue, they will serve a good end. !

Some Object in Nature Should
Be Given Pupils to Study
Ithica, N. Y.?Several weeks before
Arbor Day some object in nature
should be given to . each pupil to
study, so that the results of personal
observations may be contributed to
the celebration of the day. The older
girls and boys may make a profitable
study of trees of the neighborhood.
Have each pupil select a tree, measure
its height and girth, examine its
bark and manner of branching, and
its leaves and their arrangement, i
Drawings of the trees before and
after the leaves appear may be made
