Is a serious complaint. It's a warning that
should be heeded. It is different from an
honest tired feeling. It Is a sure sign of

your blood rich and pure with Hood's Sar-

Written by Thomas Campbell to com
memorate the naval victory of Great
Britain at Copenhagen In ISM. The refer
ence In the last verse to C'gallant good
Riou" Is to the death of a captain of one
of the British warships, whose career had
shown exceptional promise.
Of Nelson and. the North
Sing- the glorious day's renown.
Wbea the battle aetce came forth
All the might of Denmark's crown.
And her arms long the deep proudly
bone;
By each gun the lighted brand
In a bold, determined band;
And the prince of all the land
Led them on. -"
Lies leviathans afloat.
Lay their bulwarks on the brine.
While the sign of battle flew
O'er the lofty British line:
It was ten of April morn by the chime.
As they drifted on their path
There was silence deep as death.
And the boldest held his breath
For a time.
But the might of England, flushed
To anticipate the scene;
And her van the fleeter rushed
O'er the deadly space between,
"Hearts of oak!" our captain cried,
when each gun
From its adamantine lips
Spread a deatb-abade round the ships.
Like the hurricane eclipse
Of the sun
Again! Again! Again!
And the havoc did not slack.
Till a feeble cheer the Dane
To our cheering sent us back;
Their shots along the deep slowly boom-
Then ceased, and all is wall.
As they strike the shattered sail;
Or, in conflagration pale,
Light the gloom.
Out spoke the victor then.
As he hailed them o'er the wave:
"Ye are brothers! ye are men!
And we conquer but to save;
So peace Instead of death let us bring;
But yield, proud foe. thy fleet.
With the crews, at England's feet
And make submission meet
To our King."
Then Denmark blessed our chief.
That he gave her wounds repose;
And, the sounds of joy and grief
From her people wildly rose.
As death withdrew her shades from the
day;
While the sun looked smiling bright
O'er a wide and woeful sight.
Where the fires of funeral light
Died away.
Now Joy, old England raise.
For the tidings of thy might
By the festal cities' blaze.
While the wine cup shines in light;
And yet amid that joy and uproar
Let us think of them that sleep.
Full many a fathom deep.
By the wild and stomy steep,
Elsinore.
Brave hearts! to Britain's prido
Once so faithful and so true.
On the deck of fame that died.
With the sallant food olJ IUou;
Soft sigh the winds of Heaven o'er their

While the billow mournful rolls.
And the mermaid's song condoles.
Singing glory to the souls
Of the brave.

a comparatively insignificant expendi
ture will become one of the most valu

Another is a nearby peninsular tract
called Waipo, with an area of about
820 acres. These two will constitute

Rev. Thomas Barclay of Formosa, an
English Presbyterian delegate to the
recent ecumenical conference at New
York, says the Japanese are having
more trouble in subduing the savages
of Formosa than the Americans are in
bringing order out of chaos in the
Philippines. "After the Japanese
Chinese war," said Mr. Barclay, "the
Chinese withdrew their mandarins and
handed the Island of Formosa over to
the Japanese-. It is a good-sized piece
of land, about 250 miles long by sixty
miles wide, and is full of people. It is
really a continuation of the chain of
islands of which the Philippines are a
part, and during the American-Spanish
war a canoe full of Filipinos landed on
the island after a voyage on the open
sea. The Japanese soldiers do not ven
ture far into the interior. There is a
mountain range running almost
through the middle of the island. On
the coast are the Japanese and Chi
nese. A little further back are the ab
originees, who are half civilized and
do not make much trouble. Then
come the savages on the mountain
slopes, and there is no telling just
when the Japanese will be able to curb L
them. They never have been subju
gated, and when they catch a band of
Japanese soldiers isolated they kill
them all. That is just the way they
treated the Chinese before the Japan
ese occupation. They are largely armed
with guns, although some of them still
cling to the bow and arrow and spear.
They are, in fact, much like the na
tives of Malay, speaking Chinese large
ly, and have the same physical charac
teristics as the Chinese. The Japan
ese are carrying on the camphor in
dustry, and no doubt are making a
good thing out of it, as Japan is now
about the only producer of that valu
able commodity. The Chinese were
cutting off all the camphor trees when
the Japanese took possession, and since
then there has been some regard paid
to tcrest preservation."

f largely attended by the people of both
town and county. The exercises were
especially good, consisting of the tran
saction of business important to the
association, speeches and patriotic
music. Colonel M. P. Hall of Butts
county, the speaker for the occasion,
was introduced in an appropriate an
excellent speech by Colonel B. L. Ty
singer. Mr. Hall's address was a
splendid one. His description of the
ex-confederate soldier, bis bravery,
fortitude and his noble deeds, was full
of eloquence, inspiration and strength
and well calculated to enkindle in the
minds of his hearers the most patriotic
thougnts. His eulogy on the unknown
ex-confederate hero 'whose grave is
not marked, and over whose sleeping
dust waves the dank grass and fat
weeds, grown luxuriant from the
blood of carnage, was peculiarly touch
ing. The tribute to southern woman
hood and her noble attributes as ex
emplified by her heroic, self-sacrificing
conduct during the dark days of '61,
was beautiful and appropriate. The

plause and manifested an enjoyment

Here is an extract from a leter
written by the poet Whittier to his

of Philadelphia, which shows that
Mr. Whittier was personally convinced
of the truth of the incident which he
celebrated in the poem "Barbara
Frietchie: "Dear Friend I first heard
of Barbara Frietchie by a letter from
Mrs. Southworth of Washington (the
authoress), calling my attention to
the incident, and inclosing an extract
from a paper detailing it as it stands
in the poem. About the same time I
had a letter from Dorothea Dix con
firming it. I thought the testimony
ample. It has been denied since, but
it is admitted by all that Barbara was
a brave, outspoken, loyal woman; that
she had a Union flag in her posses

deserved all I said of her even if I
was mistaken on some of the details.

Consul General Guenther sends the
following, dated Frankfurt, January
29, 1900: "The total number of people
employed by Krupp is at 'present 41,
750, of whom 25,133 are at Essen, 3,458
in the Gruson Steel Works at Magde
burg Backau, 2,726 in the German
shipyards at Kiel, and 10,344 in various
smelters and coal mines owned by
Krupp. The foundation for these gi
gantic works was laid iu 1810 by the
grandfather of the present chief of the
firm. Essen had then 4,000 inhabi
tants. It now has 105,528. The firm
owns a large number of iron ore mines,
among them the great Bilbao mine In
Spain. A railroad owned by Krupp
takes the ore from the mine to the
seacoast, and from there a line of four
Krupp steamers conveys it to Rotter
dam. The testing ground for guns at
Meppen, belonging to the firm, has a
target range of 72,000 feet. In 1892
the famous Gruson Steel Works at
Backau were purchased and three
years ago shipbuilding yards were
started at Kiel, which, when complet
ed, will employ 7,000 men."
A Good Slorj Aboat Forrasb
Gen. N. B. Forrest and the few
troopers he had with him were once
hotly pursued by the federals, and
the general was galloping along at top
speed. A fiery southern dame hap
pened to be standing by the roadside,
and when she saw the flying confed
erate officer her indignation boiled
over. Shaking her fist in scorn, she
screamed: "Why don't you turn and
fight, you cowardly rascal? If old For
rest were here he'd make you fight!"
Fortunately the general's horse soon
carried him out of range. Forrest's
biography relates that once at a din
ner party, where he had been invited
as the guest of honor, there was a lo
quacious widow, with hair of raven
black, who rudely interrupted the con
versation by asking Gen. Forrest wBy
it was that his beard was still black,
while his hair was turning gray. With
great politeness Forrest turned to her.

Once when General Butler was in

SabsoUlag for Grata.
It will not, as a general thing, pay
to subsoil for grain crops. With the
low price of the cereals the increase
must be very considerable to pay cost
of the extra work. The work of sub
soiling is very great, the subsoiler hav
ing to be hauled by from four to six
horses according to construction of the
subsoil. There are however some lo
calities where, subsoiling for grains
will pay. This will depend on a good
many circumstances that cannot be
pointed out specifically. For in
stance there are 'subsoils that are not
hard to stir up. There are farms
where the arrangements are such tbat
the men and horses have idle time,
and in such cases the subsoiling will
not be very expensive. Then too we
must make a distinction between the
sections of country where the rainfall
is fairly good and the sections of
country where the aridity is so great
tbat there is little or no water to hold.
It is believed that subsoiling is more
effective where the rainfall is fairly
good than where the rainfall is very
slight This is because the subsoiling
makes it possible for the ground to
hold more water and a part of the
heavy precipitations is caught and held
in the reservoir tbat would otherwise
run off. In the case of semi-arid lands

ped out is said to be about $5,000,000.
This is very much less than it would
be had the great orange groves not
been cut down by the severe cold spells
of the last few years.
It is reported that there is quite a
general movement among the truck
growers of Texas for organization.
This Is to be commended, for by such
combinations the better shipment and
distribution of the products can be ob
tained. If the growers of vegetables
and fruit ever become fully organized
it will be possible to prevent Inferior
goods being put on the market.
A writer says that Florida suffers
more damage from frost than any other
state. The cold waves this spring have
killed large quantities of early fruits
and vegetables. Beans and egg plants
were extensively destroyed. In the
midst of some of the vegetable gardens
the thermometer dropped to about 20
below the freezing point Florida is
really in a bard position in this regard.
Her product is of value in the north
ern market only because of its easi
ness. Yet to get these early vegetables
the work of growing them must begin
early in February, at a time when
cold waves are possible. Were the
growers to wait till later, they would
find no market that would pay a profit
on cost of production and transporta
tion. a
The apple exhibit at Paris is likely
to attract a good deal "of attention from
Europeans. It will not consist of the
short-keeping varieties to any extent
but of those apples that are known as
commercial apples, and that will stand
long carriage. Our apple trade with
the Europeans is growing, and the ex
hibit at the exposition will doubtless
have the effect of enlarging the mar
ket me oniy irouoie mat we see
ahead to the difficulty of supplying the
demand. Good commercial- apples are
very high in our markets the year
round, and of course will be much
higher In a foreign market where the
cost of transport, handling and addi
tional profits must be added. With
out doubt there Is no more encourag
ing field for investment than in the line
of apple growing. There are certain
sections of the country that are par
ticularly adapted to the growing of
apples sections where land is cheap
aad unsuited to the production of any
thing but fruit

Kar Cora aa Stack Food.
When fed alone, stock tire of Kafir
corn much more quickly than they do
of corn. Some stockmen feed red and
white Kafir corn alternately. This
gives some variety, but only partially
overcomes the defect When Kafir
corn Is fed with feeds rich in protein,
as alfalfa, soy beans, bran, or oil meal,
animals relish it for any length of
feeding period. Hogs fattened on Kafir
corn alone get so that they loathe It
but fed Kafir corn with either alfalfa
hay, soy beans, or skim milk, they
have a keen appetite for every feed.
This lack of protein (flesh and blood
forming material) and an excess of
starch and other heating substances
makes Kafir corn an undesirable feed
to be given alone, but combined with
the other drought-resisting feeds alf
alfa and soy beans makes a ratioa
containing all the material in proper
proportions needed for meat and milk
production and the growth of young
stock.
Kafir corn is a very constipating
feed, and for this reason, when fed
alone to either horses, cattle, or hogs,
induces an unhealthful condition. Fed
with other constipating feeds, such as
prairie or timothy hays or corn fodder,
the condition is made worse. On the
other hand, alfalfa and soy beans are
laxative feeds, and either fed with
Kafir corn secures a healthful condi
tion of the animal, as shown by the
glossy hair, oily skin, good appetite,
and good returns.

A New Jersey farmer tells this re
markable story to the Evangelist, and
vouches for its truth: "I had mor
pigs than I wanted to keep, so I sold
one to a man living in the neighbor
ing village. The little pig had been
living in the pen with his brothers and
sisters, and had never been outside of
it until the man who bought him put
him ia a basket, tied down the covet
and put it In his wagon to carry tc
the new home. Late in the afternoon
the farmer who sold It saw something
coming across the swampy meadow
below his home. He watched it strug
gling through the wet places, climb
ing the knolls, until he could see th.l
it was his little pig, all covered with
mud and very tired. He went straig.it
toward the barn, against which wa?
the only home he recognized. Tic
money was returned to the man whe
had bought it and the Utile pig stayed
at home."

What is known as subsoiling Is
plowing the earth below the depth ai
which It Is usually plowed. Where
niowine has been eenerally but ten
inches deep the soil below is the sub
soil. This may not be a scientific way
of speaking of it, but it is the populai
way. There is a difference between
surface plowing and subsoiling. in tbat
the surface soil Is turned upside uown,
while the subsoil is stirred by the sub
soiler without being brought to the
surface. Subsoiling makes more room
for the development of the roots, and
enables the plant to extract food and
moisture from a greater area. In ad
dition the capacity for absorbing and
retaining moisture is increased. Dur
ing the heavy fall of moisture in win
ter and spring the ground: thus obtain
and holds for future use a greater sup
ply. The first actual returns or statistics
for the twelfth census are now com

acreage, tenure, quantity of fruit pro
duced, cost of labor and fertilizers,
area of new plantings, value of crop
and losses from disease, insects and
other natural causes for each bog or
plantation. Ia January, 3909, prelim
inary schedules relating to the cran
berry yield of 1899 were sent out tc
all the growers whose names and ad
dresses could be obtained. Each blank
was accompanied by a list of the
growers, so far as ascertained, in the
vicinity of the person addressed, to be
oy him corrected and returned to the
Census omce. To any additional grow
ers whose names were thus secured,
schedules were forwarded by return
mall, and many have already made
their reports.
A Suspicious Accident A Chicago
manufactarer of oleomargarine shipped
a good deal of that product into New
York state. He was promptly prose
cuted and fines aggregating over 1,
000,000 were placed on court records
against him. The evidence was con
tained in the bills of lading of a cer
tain large railroad. Now, the railroad
informs the attorney-general of New
York that It thought that the cases
were settled aad so destroyed all the
bills of lading. The state therefore is
left without evidence.

Wallace's Seeoad
Mar" Fettaaa.
General Lew Wallace made an in
dependent fortune out of the novel of
"Ben Hur," and it appears likely that
he will acquire another by the stage
version of his book. Klaw A Erlanger
have just paid him $30,000 in royalties
for the six months the play has been
running at the Broadway theater, the
gross receipts for the period being
$450,000. General Wallace was not re
quired to write anything for this
money. All that he did for it was to
sign a contract giving William Young
permission to dramatize it for the use
of Klaw A Erlanger. It looks as if
the play would last for several sea
sons, and it is possible that General
Wallace will receive at least ten times
$30,000 before "Ben Hur" is laid on
the shelf.
The June Century will have some
political bearings, including an essay
on Reformers by Governor Roosevelt;
Hamilton's estimate of Burr, as shown
in unpublished documents, and accom
panied by new portraits of the two
antagonists; "The Business Man and'
the Consular Service," by Harry A.
Garfield, and the "Origin of the Lin
coln Rail" as told to J. McCan Davis
by Governor Oglesby. Three short
stories deal variously with phases of
political life; "The" Mouse," by a new
writer, the scene being in Washington
official life; "Conlon," a novel charac
ter sketch of a heeler's devotion to h.s
boss, and "The Stained-Glass Political
Platform," a satirical sketch to which
current events are likely to attract
special attention.
