		<description><![CDATA[I used to carry happiness
Like a golden ball,
I had to walk so timidly
For fear I&#8217;d let it fall.
But someone snatched it from me
And threw it to the sky -
Now my arms are empty
There&#8217;s none so brave as I.
Elizabeth Hollister Frost
Source: The Outlook, May 23 1928

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the books in the world the Bible still has the largest circulation. At the recent 111th annual meeting of the American
Bible Society it was announced that the circulation in 1926 was 9,917,361 copies, an increase of more than a half-million over the preceding year, making a total circulation under the auspices of this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE romance of unfamiliar place names has been felt and exprest by many poets. Here is a lyric that dedicates it to the supposedly unpoetical theme of export trade. The Public Ledger (Philadelphia) gave it currency first, but our curtailed version comes from The World&#8217;s Markets (New York):
MERCHANDISE

Merchandise! Merchandise! Tortoise-shell, spices,
Carpets and indigoâ€”sent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE salt spray drips from every line of these verses which Punch, forgetting Irish troubles and Washington conferences, regales himself with, perhaps, after the manner of the old Greeks in their exile, to remind himself that he is still John Bull:
THE FLYING-FISH SAILOR
(Old Style)

SO MANY COMPLAINTS have been raised against the &#8220;Star-Spangled Banner&#8221; as a national anthem that a new suggestion for its use is always welcome. A writer to the New York Herald points out that the last verse of the hymn, rather than the first, expresses American feeling and is [...]]]></description>
