(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.

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

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.

off with a manilla hat, the whole
shaded by a huge umbrella, green

The timeliness of the July Century

writes with keen appreciation of his
subject in a style, moreover, that has
many of the qualities distinctive o! the
French man-of-letters. In the matter
of full-page pictures, The Century

Blacksmith's Apreas,
On Easter Monday morning , the
blacksmiths all over the land, follow
ing an immemorial custom, put on new
leather aprons. They do this twice a
year, at the Easter and the Christmas
holidays. Dealers expect it of them,
and lay in, a great stock in advance.
The most recherche blacksmith's
apron is now made of sheep-skin. It
has a diamond-shaped bib to cover the
breast, but fashion distates that this
should not be worn up, but should be
turned down carelessly. The apron
fastens behind by two brass buttons,
and comes in three colors white,
lemon and tan. The white one, which
is affected by the younger and more
-modish sort of blacksmith, is rein
forced and padded at the knees for
horseshoeing and such work. This
is disdained by the austere and hardy
blacksmith of the old school. An apron
costs a dollar and lasts about six
months.

Teaag Joha la Wall Street,
John D. Rockefeller, jr., who is

in Wall street about one year ago in
a deal in a Leather Trust stock.
Young Mr. Rockefeller went into the

around 6, and worked the price up
to 40 on the New York exchange.
In this deal young Rocekfeller is sup

since fallen back to its old price, it
is not known positively whether this
debut cost or made a fortune.

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.

II WMEM WHO DOUBT.
"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." Mrs. Axsia
Thompson, South Hot Springs, Ark.
