(From -Leslie's Weekly.) They are marching to the drum; I can hear the squadrons come When the veterans of Vicksburg muster out upon parade; For the old familiar roll summons every soldier's soul From the countless graves of glory where their hallowed dust Is laid. With his bullet-riddled flags and his feet in bloody rags, .Walks the pale young continental, with his musket at his back; There are Perry's battered tars, with their cutlasses and scars. And Bonhomme Richard's sailors with' the smoke of battle black. They are marching to the drum,, though with rust forever dumb Are the bugles that for Grant and Leo once played a fierce refrain;-But the ranks of blue and gray have arisen, and today Side by side keep step together to the well-remembered strain. See the soldiers and marines from the far-off Philippines, Clad In tattered khaki blouses and with faces lean and tanned; Every eye is fixed with pride on the flag for which they died, Ttiere's a wound in every bosom, but in a sword in every hand. TIs the army of the drum, though the Maxim and the bomb And the Mauser's hum will wake them nevermore by field or flood. Not a man among them all but would choose again to fall For the bright and starry banner made immortal with their blood. When the 'spurs and sabers shine and the columns wheel in line. Oh, it thrills a yankee's spirit and it fills a yankee's eyes! ' For he hears the steady beat of a view less army's feet The tramping of the legions that are camping in the skies. Merchant Ship Cadets. Those who have crossed the Atlantic on the vessels of the American line have probably noticed a class of young men on board whose duties seem to place them somewhat between the of ficers and the crew. They are known as cadets, and their position is some what similar to that of midshipmen or cadets in the United States navy. They are in training to become officers of the line, and any one of them, after two years' experience as a cadet, may, if he is able to pass the necessary ex amination, receive a certificate enti tling him to serve as fourth mate. From this position he expects to work up gradually in the service, and per haps aspires to be one day the captain of a big liner. All these cadets are graduates of one of the three training ships established by. the government to educate boys for the American merchant marine service the St Mary's, stationed at New York City; the Enterprise, at Boston, or the Saratoga, at Philadel phia The places which the cadets hold on the ocean steamers were cre ated for them by the postal subsidy bill passed a few years ago. This re quires all vessels which are subsidized by the United States government for carrying the mails to be officered by Americans and to carry a cadet for each 1,000 tons burden. Among the subsidized companies included under this are the American, Clyde, Ward and Pacific Mail lines. Although some of the boys who are graduated each year from the training ships enter the army-transport service as quartermas ters, while a few others join sailing vessels for long cruises, wishing to become regular deep-sea sailors, a large proportion of those who leave the senior class each year take service as cadets on some of the subsidized vessels. As a class the graduates from the schoolships are very desirable assis tants to the various lines. They are never less than 18 years old, and they range from that up to 22, for they mu6t be between the ages of 16 and 20 when they begin the two years' course on the training' ship. This course, dur ing which they have studied all the common-school branches, as well as special nautical subjects, and have made two summer cruises with practi cal work, has fitted them well for the profession they intend to enter. With few exceptions they are com petent navigators when they leave the schoolship and enter upon their cadet duties. They have a thorough under standing of dead reckoning and how to find the latitude and longitude by the sun, moon, planets or stars. Besides, they have been taught the duties of seamen, and have learned how to manage a sailing vessel, to steer, to heave the lead, to handle boats both under oars and sails, the "rule of the road" and all the other minor duties of a thorough-going sailor. The class which was graduated from the St Mary's last October included forty four young men, all but four of whom Immediately took places on vessels. On their last summer's cruise the members of this class navigated the ship almost all the time, having been provided with -sextants and the other necessary instruments by the com mander. , Upon assuming duty as a cadet, the young man engages to do whatever is required of him to take the lee wheel,' carry messages for the captain, look after the embarking or disembarking of passengers or freight and any other of the many duties on shipboard. He may not have as much practice in ac tual navigation as he would like, but he will have opportunity to keep up his studies on that subject and' to leara much from observation, so that when his two years' service as a cacet is ended he ought to be and usually Is able to pass his examination qualify ing him for the new position of mate. New York Tribune. Caijalcalws; la Taaay. In a recent letter from Hollo, Island of Panay, "Lawrence" writes to the Boston Herald' as follows: .With the terrific increase of the heat here (the temperature in the shade today re mained at 98, degrees) the activity of the military operations is much les sened. Thin clothing has been issued, and the men urged to remain in the shade at jioonday. Frequent bathing is compulsory where water is avail able, and every means exhausted to keep the men well. The sick list is increasing, however, and from the number being sent home for discharge the regimental enrollment will be con siderably smaller at the end of two years of service. Among the natives the death rate is showing a marked in- .crease, and the sound of the band which invariably plays at Filipino funerals fills the greater part of the day. So far as the water supply of the companies in the interior towns is concerned, we shall be fortunate in deed, if we escape an epidemic before the rainy season. The sole dependence and source of drinking water In those places is the rivers running near the towns. In the rainy season these are raging torrents. Now they are hardly more than brooklets not knee deep and almost lost in immense river bot toms of the western type. I had to cross one of these a few days ago, and as far as the eye could reach the stream was thronged with various forms of life. Within a dis tance of two miles were, at the very least, 500 of the great unwieldy car boo or water buffalo, wallowing in the bed of the stream. It is essential to their preservation that they shall spend a part of each day in the water, but a glance at the normal condition of their hides is enough to show the pollution they must engender. Right in among them and at various points along the bank were hundreds of na tivesold and young, men, women and children, all having their daily bath. This completed, they begin work on the spot with the daily family laundry and such a pounding and wringing oc casions all sorts of visions of dirt galore. And this is not a" misconcep tion, from a health point of view, eith er. I approached one man who seem ed to have an especially large display of garments, and asked him some questions about the Filipino laundry customs. , I found that he had six children at home, all down with small-ppx, and he had come down to wash their clothes. This river was the sole source from which the drinking water of 150 men had to be obtained. Is it a wonder that the company officers are constant ly haunted by the spectre of various native diseases? Every effort is made to prevent it surely, for the water is boiled and filtered, and then stored in carefully cleansed jars. If the men could be made to drink this only, all might be well but in every command there are always men who cannot be taught anything, and who at every op portunity would rather drink the fil thy water directly from the river. It Is from this class that the larger part of the men are row dying and being invalided home is drank. A great burden of every company officer when the rainy season enables fresh rain water to be substituted for the pres ent supply. Another source of much trouble is a native intoxicating drink called "tuba." This, unfortunately, is ob tained In great abundance from the new shoots at the top of every cocoa nut tree, and can be had at any time for the asking. Two glasses are suf ficient to make an ordinary American crazy and utterly unable to control himself. On the November expedition a member of the Nineteenth infantry, while under its influence shot and killed his chum at Leon, and is now serving a long sentence in conse quence. In the Twenty-sixth many desertions and crimes can also be laid to its door, and it can truly be said that if it were not for its presence here the summary court record would be reduced by more than one-half. Among the natives it is universally used, and no Filipino soldier or guide will go into the presence of danger without fortifying his courage with a liberal allowance of the stuff. The soldiers are under orders not to drink it, and natives found selling it to them are severely dealt with at the posts. Soldiers on StUts. Improbable as it may seem, the French army has lately been making experiments with the view of testing the value of stilt-walking for military purposes. Stilts are still used as a means of locomotion by the herdsmen of the Landes of Gascony, although by no means to the same extent as they were twenty years ago. With the spreading of the pine forests over this sandy region and the draining of the marshes caused by the' dunes prevent ing the outflow of water towards the Bay of Biscay, the need of stilts has gone on diminishing, for the useful ness of these artificial legs attached to those provided by nature is chiefly left in crossing moorland covered with prickly gorse, or marshy tracts where the points of solid foothold are often separated by yards of water or mud. In country of this character it is quite conceivable that stilts may render sig nal service in connection with certain military operations, such as the instal lation of field telegraphs. An infantry regiment stationed in the department of the Landes, and largely composed of Landais, has lately been testing the military value of stilts, and the result appears to be such as to render their adoption by the French army for spe cial purposes highly probable. They are found to be serviceable not only in placing 'telegraph wires in very rough country, but also as a means of quickly ascertaining, where a river can be safely forded by troops. The stilt-man, by the aid of his lengthened legs, can measure the depth of the water with great ease and precision. He can feel about for the shallow places and thus lead the way. SoppUes for Maslraa Troops. The contract for supplying the gov ernment military forces on the Ameri can Yukon with beef supplies has been awarded to Jack Daltqn. the Alaskan pioneer and explorer, says a Seattle dispatch. It Involves about $100,000. and provides that DaKon shall fur nish the soldiers at Ft Egbert. Circle City, Rampart and Ft Gibbon with all their fresh beef from July. 1, 1900, to July 1, 190L , - Women students are in the future to be admitted to such courses in the medical department of Owen's college Manchester, England, as will enable them to qualify for a medical degree. TMcfcl The parasite that causes this alseasa Is called trichina spiralis. It Infests the lesh of several animals, especially the hog. From the hog it is sometimes transferred to man. causing severe sickness and not Infrequently death. Trichina is found in pork both In America and Europe, and its presence has been made a pretext by which some foreign nations keep out Ameri can pork. Most of the pork Inspection at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Is due to the prominence of this ques tion in the European mind. However, German pork is as much infested with trichina as our own, and it is believed a little more' so. Trichina inhabits the bodies of ani mals at all stages of its existence, and where swine are entirely unable to get anything but vegetable diet the danger that they will become infested with trichina Is smalt-For this reason it is not safe to permit swine to feed on the offal of slaughter houses, car rion, rats, mice and the like. Hogs so fed become a menace to the health of the eaters of the pork they produce. The trichina Is very small, and lives in minute crysts in the muscles. When these cysts are eaten vby hogs the juices of the stomach set loose the imprisoned trichinae which escape Into the Intestines where they pair and the females bring forth a numerous brood of larvae, which find their way to the muscles, where they In turn be come encysted. The hog himself docs not appear to suffer from the presence of these parasites, and they can there fore be discovered only by a micro scopic examination of the pork. It is said that no remedy has been discov ered that will destroy the trichinae after they have become encysted in the muscles. When pork infested with trichinae is eaten by man the thou sands of cysts are operated on by the juices of his stomach. The parasites are let loose and proceed to his in testines where they pair and breed. Their progeny begin a march through the walls of his intestines to his muscles, and induce symptoms similar to typhoid fever. If the man can en dure the horrible pain of the migration of the parasites from his intestines to his muscles he will live. The trichinae will form cysts there and give no fur ther trouble, but will remain with him through the rest of his life. vfhy Are Not More Sheep Raised T It really looks as if many of our farmers are unmindful of the bene fits of sheep raising, on account of the small amount of capital represented in each animal; just as most of them ignore poultry for a like reason. We are certain that there are many farms with brush land and small growth that would be benefited by a flock of sheep. As we have traveled over the states we have noticed the numerous places where the land seemed to be given up to brush, briars, weeds and under growth. Ask the owners of these farms why they do not keep a few sheep and you are likely 'to get the answer that it would probably be a good thing to do so, but that they had been busy looking after other things and had not given sheep any attention. For the public good a few sheep should be kept on every farm. The average number of sheep on Illinois farms is today only a little over two. Think of it: two sheep to a farm. There are In the state about 252,000 farms and the number of sheep on the first day of January, 1897, was 601,000. On the first day of January, 1898, the number was 613,000. If American farmers, would pay a little more attention 'to this question it would soon be unnec essary to Import large quantities of wool and other products of the sheep, and instead the money would go into the pockets of sheep raisers and re main in circulation in their neighbor hoods. Kind of Horses Wanted la Kaclaad. .The United States government has been trying to find out the kind of horses the English desire, with the following results: In London the tramways, bus com panies, jobmasters and owners of light delivery wagons are large purchasers of American horses. Horses for their use must be from 15 1-8 to 16 hands high, weigh from 1,200 to 1,350 pounds, be compactly built with plenty of bone and muscle and good action, and average from 5 to 7 years of age. They should measure from 76 to 78 inches in girth, and from 8 to 9 inches around the leg just below the knee. Such horses will sell from f 170 to 185, and sometimes as high as S200. Large bus horses for suburban work, 5 to 8 years old, 16 hands -high, weighing 1,600 to 1,700 pounds, with a girth of 88 inches, bring from 185 to $225, and exceptional native horses sell as high as 5400. The "trotting vanner," a synonym for useful light delivery wagon horse, 16 to 16 hands, 78-inch at girth and 7 inches around the leg just below the knee, sells for 8125 to 150. Carriage horses, 90 inches at girth and 9 inches arcund the leg just below the knee, withgood knee action and well bred, will, if ' well matched, bring from S750 to 11,500 per pair. For heavy draft horses the de mand is always brisk, and Clydesdale and Shire horses are reported in de mand. Solid, stocky, 16-hand, 1,750- pound horses, free from blemish, 5 to 7 years old, 10 to 10 inches 'around the leg just below the knee, and 98 to 100 inches girth, bring from 9250 to 375. Misfits, scrubs and badly broken'' horses will not do; but a young, good, sound, well-broken horse with plenty of bone and muscle, compactly built, of almost any recognized class or type will sell well in the London market Altltade at Which Flaats Will Bleosa. The highest point at which flowering plants have been found, according to a recent paper to the London Linnean Society, was in Tibet at 19,200 feet Nine species were recorded at 19,000 feet or higher. The plants were most ly of the order compositae, and deep rooting perennial . herbs having a rosette of leaves close to the ground, with the flowers closely nestled In the center, are characteristic of these al titudes. In the Bolivian Andes Sir Martin Conway found two species of flowering plants at 18,700 feet and 39 above 14,000xfeet, the latter belonging to 34 general and 21 natural order Retala the Sows. It is never a good practice to breed from immature sows year after year. The practice of keeping brood sows till several years old should be com mended and followed. The continued breeding from immature animals is believed to have much to do with weakening the stamina of our hogs. It is even contended by some that we would have much less hog cholera were we to follow breeding only from mature animals. This Is not always practicable, for sows must have their first litters at a young age, but it Is entirely practicable to use the same sows for several years. fftm Bctaraahamted.

Senator Depew in m..king a speech in Wellington over the telephone to membrrs of the Traaspc.tatloa club, of wiii-h he. Is president, at dinner in New-York, appears to have broken the record. The distance is about 22S miles. As there were only sixty re ceivers and about 120 diners the Sen ator was obliging enough to make the speech twice. It was full of Jokes. The best cure for remorse is never to look back. How many people read a book with out 'skipping? , DANCE OF GHOSTS. Tk Haw Idea f Arraaetoa: a Fratty CetUlee. Two bright girls who are 'joint own ers in a smart little New York studio gave a ghost dance last week, and the Philadelphia girls who went oyer to New York for it are talking about it as one of the prettiest of the season. Ghost dances and phantom balls, to which the dancers come monotonously shrouded In white or gray, are. of course, as old as our grandmothers. This New York dance was founded upon a thoroughly new idea, says Pris cilla Standlsh in the Philadelphia Press. In the first place, each guest was asked to come representing some ghost out of the past. The spirit of a certain day, a certain era, a certain idea or a celebrated character in the history of a nation. A character, nat urally, long since gathered to the great majority. And then throughout the evening each masquerader was ex pected -to act out the ghostly personage chosen. A girl who represented Marie Antoinette, for example, imitated that fascinating and unhappy lady in phrases, gestures and general bearing.. Now and then she made reference to her life history in such a way that, if the other ghosts were alert, they could gain some hint of the character she had assumed. For all spirits come strictly Incognito. It proved to be a gathering of the -most interesting spectres. There were historical and mythological and folklore ghosts; ghosts of fiction and nursery tradition and sentiment. Ghosts of past days and long ago love affairs and lovely old-time festivals. Many of the costumes were carried out in subdued phantomlsh colors. The brilliant ones were draped in shading gauzes and veiling, through which the lively tints glimmered as lights through a fog. Of course, there were prizes. Three for the three costumes adjudged most delightful, and one or two for the dancers who had been most successful in divining the characters of other ghosts. There are 100 cents to a dollar, and there are also many dollars without sense. Most men who are "jewels" are soli taires, and, like diamonds, are often cut. VERY LOW RATES "TEXAS Via M. K. T. Ry.

"I have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about tea years. I had leueorrhoea and was so weak that I could not do my housework. I also had fall ing of the womb and inflammation ol the. womb and ovaries and at menstrual periods I suffered ter ribly. At times my back would ache very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work; was not able to stand on my feet. My husband spent hundredsof dollars 1 for doctors but they did me no ' good. After a time ' I concluded to try your nseefcfase aad I can truly say it does all that yoa claim for it to do. Ten bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and seven pack ages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me. I have had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have ia years ; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite and now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. I feel that it ha saved my life and would not be without it for anything. I am always glad to recom mend your medicine to all my sex, for I know if they follow your directions, they will be cured."
