If a great storm were (a body of water north-west of North America) down on the British Isles, do you suppose you could ring a (city in Ireland) and make the (body of water west of England) the (a watch manufacturing town of the United States) the city of (the bark of a kind of oak)? --_Sidney M._ CHARADE The first use sparingly. The second treat kindly. The third hold as a sacred trust. The whole is a shy bird. --_E. L. Barnes._ THE BOUQUET In the following sentences there are eight flowers. Can you identify them? Alyar rowed his best, but Fox, a listless oarsman on most occasions, won the race. Can Nature be excelled on Easter day? For the table of the Pope, onyx is brought from afar, but usually unpolished. “Hannibal,” Samuel remarked, looking up from his book of prose, “was the world’s greatest general.” ENIGMA I am composed of twenty-one letters. My 3-6-21-19-14-8-1 is sincere. My 12-17-7-18-20-5 is a mineral. My 9-2-3-10-4-17-11-1 is a bird. My 16-13-20-19-15 is to mingle. My whole is the name of a well-known song. --_William Harris._ I am the first, and one of seven, I live betwixt the seas and heaven: Look not below, for I am not there, My home is in the ancient air. Come to my second, behold how fair I am, how bright and debonair: A pleasant vision and a beauty, A thing of life and joy and duty; My youth is changed. I live alone, My views are crossed--my hopes are gone, My whole is sorrow, grief, and woe, My singing now is all heigh-ho. --_Selected._ WITH THE PUBLISHER YOUTH An Illustrated Monthly Journal for Boys and Girls =Edited by HERBERT LEONARD COGGINS= =Single Copies 10 Cents= =Annual Subscription $1.00= Sent postpaid to any address.

Many other names have been suggested, but none of them seemed to be just what was wanted. A name that has been in our minds from the beginning was YOUTH, but, for the reason that it had already been used with another publication, we could not adopt it. We have now purchased the right to use this name, and shall continue it henceforth. It has the advantage of being a title of but one word, a short one at that, and one that is catchy, suggestive, and easily remembered. We hope that it will meet with cordial favor at the hands of all our subscribers. _WELCOME TO OUR NEW FRIENDS_
