I accepted with pleasure, being not only anxious to fulfil my duty toward the company, but also to do something for -my country in her hour of need. I took on my cargo at Cadiz. 'When I sailed the war had not yet broken out, and so in order to find out "just what the situation was I put in at Martinique. They would hardly let me approach, for fear of breaking the neutrality laws. But I found out that war had been declared and that the island of "Cuba was blockaded by a powerful squadron.

Cienfugos and succeeded in en tering that port3 inispite 'of the vigi lance ,of .the American warships. After staying 1 there'. six days I. returned to Cadiz and took on another war cargo of 5.000 tons.

In spite of all my pre cautions I was observed by the Nash yiUe, which started in hot, pursuit, and fired three shots, after us, thinking we were going to surrender, but in stead I cheered my crew and with the words Dios y Patria kept steadily on my course. Several otner shots were flred,-soaie of which fell within a few yafdsof the"1 vessel! But when I got nearer land I was aided by the fort, where the roar of the Nashville's gun had been heard, and I made the port in safety and unloaded my cargo." For his services Captain Deschamps was decorated by the Spanish govern ment and the Transatlantic company promoted him to the command of Al fonso Xnr. The captain recently vis ited some of the ports of South Am erica, where his compatriots showered honors on him. Coasparmtlre Eajoyaaaat.

There is something pathetic about it to me. These old gray-haired soldiers have camped right in the shadow of those hills ever since the -war, as if devoted to every memory of the place. - The morning sun throws the shadow of the hills across their homes, and the even ing sun throws them back again from the other side, and thus' these old sol diers are spending their latter days in the very shadow of the JMstoric bat tleground.

'It was during one of the pre; llminary skirmishes at Chickamauga. The federal troops had reached the top of the hill, and the confederates had beea forced down on' the other side.

The brave men, living and;dead who struggled here.have con secrated J.t far above our power to add ori.detract The world will little note, nor; long remember what we say' here, b lit -it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the. living1 rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to, the great task of re maining before us that from , these honored dead we take increased devo tion to the cause for which they gave thelast full measure of devotion that we hefc highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain that the; nation shall, -under God, 'have a nea birth of freedom, -and that the government of. the. people, by the :peo plaand for 'the people, shall not perr ishlfrom the; earth.; j . as U Q TfM Battler at Gettysharv 1 The battle of Gettysburg was fought oa.Jly 1, 2. and 3, 1863. It was the greatest. , battle of the civil war, not only as regards the number of men engaged,' and the casualties resulting, but in decisive character. It is gener ally -conceded that the confederate cause reached high, tide at Gettysburg, and, from that point receded gradually until the final collapse: It was a conflict- in which valor attained its high est; exemplification. It was a case of Greek meet Greek. Both confederates and federals displayed vthe, highest qualities of heroic manhood. While the confederates were forced to retire and retreat into Maryland' and .thence into Virginia, 'it was only after three days of as fierce fighting as the world ever saw, and the 'federal army was, too ex hausted to pursue. About 162,000 men were engaged in this battle (90,000 federals and 70,000 confederates), and thai result was the turning point in the war. General Lee invaded Pennsyl vania for the double -purpose of carry ing the war into northern territory rand to provision his army from, the 'rich stores of the fertile counties of Pennsylvania. The moral effect of the invasion was also expected to be great, not only in this country, but abroad. Had Lee won a decisive victory at Get tysburg it is altogether likely that the nations of Europe would have recog nized the confederacy. Pennsylvania GrlL ;i Tka Pcaaloa Uat. . The pension list is .larger by 2.000 names than it was, a year ago in. spite of all the death losses, and the appro priation of 1145,000,000 for pension payments during the year will fall short of the amount needed to mee all!demands by at least $150,000. But the most significant statement In the report is that 43,874 claims have been filed at the department o"n account of the -war with Spain. These figures seem almost incredible when' it is re membered that the war actually lasted only thirty days and that the number cf fmen engaged in hostile, action on land and sea was only a few. thousands. It 'does not follow, of course, that-, all the claims filed will be granted, and probably a large proportion, .of them will fail for good .and sufficient rea sons. During the eleven months end ing June 30; 2,369 pension were grant ed to invalids coming but of .'the war. and to 1,166 Spanish war widows and orphans. . Military Bralas Gin Oat.

Tke Geld ef "Dead Elvers." Among the remarkable ' geological features of California are, the-gravely channels of ancient streams, known to miners as dead rivers, which, often contain gold in paying, quantities. The rivers. ran generally from north to south, and; some have left beds more than two miles in . width. Some of them, after their waters had disap peared, served as channels for lava, which, hardened over and concealed for the goldbearing gravel.. Particular attention is at present being paid to mining these deposits:'1 In' prospecting' them, -melon-seeds" of gold, varying ia size from minute grains to particles a quarter of an inch in diameter, -are found.

The Beraplajr af T: , Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell Uni versity writes to Vicks Magazine as follows: Now and then I hear that a man who calls himself "The Cornell Tree Prun er" or something of the kind is scrap ing all the outer "bark from, fruit and shade trees. No person is authorized to use the name of Cornell University to advertise his abilities as a tree pruner or tree doctor. The question is constantly arising as to whether trees should be scraped of their outer; bark. This outer bark Is dead tissue, but it may serve as a pro tection to the tree.. The features of this outer bark are. also characteristic of the different kinds of trees and con tribute no small part toN their beauty and interest. I certainly should never scrape the bark from trees which are grown for ornament, unless there .were some particular reason for it This paticular reason might arise when there were, a serious incursion of some insect which. finds a harbor, underneath ' the bark, or, when some species of body blight attacks a tree and it is neces sary to remove the bark in order to get at the difficulty. These are spe cial and comparatively rare cases, however. Certainly the general rule is to leave the' bark on all ornamental and shade trees. To take it off does no good, and It -robs them of very much of their characteristic beauty. In case of orchard trees, it is often advisable to take off the hanging bark in order "to destroy the harboring places of codlin-moth and other in sects. Even in that case, I should not scrape down to the light colored or in ner bark, but take off merely the rough, loose exterior. Orchard trees, not being grown for ornament, often present a more kempt and tidy appear ance if the old bark is removed. It Is to be remembered that the ideals which -underlie the care of fruit trees may not obtain with ornamental, trees. I have understood that this itinerant tree pruner asserts that he is able to destroy the pear blight by dusting some material on the,, trees which he has- scraped. It, is only necessary to say that little need be expected from such treatment It Is often asked what one shall do for "moss" on trees. Oh old and rough bark, moss does no harm, and it often adds a distinct charm to shade and ornamental trees. On young trees or young bark, the moss generally in dicates lack of vigor and vitality in the tree. The remedy is to make the tree more vigorous by tillage, enriching the soil, pruning, spraying and other means. .Taking off the moss is little more than the treatment of a 'symptom; yet the moss should be removed, for in remov iag it the bark will be made more flex ible to allow of the expansion of the trunk, and the tree if it is a fruit tree will have a x more tidy appearance. The moss may be scraped off lightly. It is also readily killed by a spraying with Bordeaux mixture. I believe that part of the good spraying lies, in the softening of the bark; this was un doubtedly one value of the old prac tice of scrubbing trees .with soap or lye. Stunted trees become hide-bound and cannot swell with new growth. Any treatment which softens the bark -will , tend to alleviate this condition. but other good treatment must be giv en at the same time. wltb Bardeaax atlxtare. In Germany tests were made to as certaia the effect of, a number of fac tors upon the composition of Bor deaux mixture, as shown by the sep aration of the different mixtures upon standing. Among the experiments were 'those to determine the effect of iron sulphate, which is commonly present in commercial copper sulphate, different quantities and qualities of lime; different concentrations of mix tures; order of combining the eola tions, and temperatures of solutions. The .presence of iron sulphate was faund to cause a more rapid separation of the liquid. Within the limit of the experiments, separation was iaverse ly proportional to the amount of capper- sulphate need. The quality .of lime affected the mixture very, appreci ably, the mixture .containing the .best lime precipitating: the slowest. .The proportion, of lime exerted the same effect as the amount of copper. Fresh. weu-aimsiea line arc .a.Deiier mux- f lure than poorly sTaked; but fresh.air lime was aeoat its eaaat OleV air-staked lime prodaced a mixture that sefarated very rapidly. AUewing the milk of lime to stand for two days wasfractkaifiy without effect upon the different mixtures, the raemlta with milk of lime that had been exposed to the sit helms almost Identical with freshly made. Bordeaux mixture msde by pouring the, lime Jnto the copper softtiOB was much Inferior to, the others. Where the copper mixture was peered Into the lime", and wherekDth mixtures were poured into a third vessel, the mixture was about .the same. Heat was. found to cause a sep aratipa in the mixture in proportion to the increase of temperature. Metes a Alfalfa. In different countries its duration as a plant varies. In-Peru and Chill it Is said that fields planted by the Spaa iirds hundreds of years ago are still in existence and still bearing alfalfa! It -is :a perennial plant there, not only botanically, but in the ability it has to exist without dying out At the New 'Jersey station, however, its dura tion seems to be less, as that station. in one of its reports, says of it: "Alr falfa Is a perennial plant and once well established will last a number of years, from four to ten or more, de fending upon the character of the sell and the treatment of the plant in ref erence to manuring and methods of cutting. The annual upright and branching stems, when cut, do not sprout but die back to the crown, when new shoots start and grow rapid ly.'' Doubtless la climates such as that of New Jersey, the plant succumbs more quickly to adverse conditions than in a climate of unclouded san and abundant heat s There Is, however, a problem con nected with its growth that has not yet been, entirely settled. No matter how well it may grow in the semi-arid area it sometimes shows a decided tendency not to do well in the more moist states. Recently -the writer saw at Southern Pines, North Carolina, a large field of alfalfa. The ground seemed to be suit able for it, and it was learned that the seed- bed for the alfalfa had been well prepared and enriched, but the growth was meager. At the time of the visit the owner had ordered a bar rel of soil from Kansas from a field in which the cultures that work on the roots of alfalfa were supposed to be abundant He hoped by the-introduc-tion of these germs to cause a larger growth. The soil on which it was growing was sandy, but rich. Doubt less the same problem of root bacteria that 'applies to the growth, of the clov ers applied here. Acidity of Vslaad Sells. H. J. Wheeler and.B. L. Hartwell. In 'the report of the Rhode1 Island Experi ment station, summarize the result of pot. and plat experiments on the' sub ject of acidity of upland soils. The tests were begun in 1894. The authors say: "The general. conclusion drawn from the various experiments herein outlined is that the recognition of a high degree of acidity, even in the case of upland and naturally well drained soils, is one of the' most im portant guides to the first step that should be taken toward their ameliora tion.. This seems to hoid true large ly, if not wholly, regardless of whether the benefit accruing from the use of carbonate of lime is attributable to its correcting physical, biological or chemical conditions. The practical importance of this matter, even though It has been heretofore almost ignored orr unrecognized by most American and. many European agricultural chemists, would seem to have been abundantly demonstrated." .. It is hard to believe that a mistake has not been made in the report of the large amount of fruit in Hamburg found infested with San Jose scale. This fruit is from the United States. One' is tempted to ask if the scientist there knows San Jose scale when he sees it The number of packages of all ikinds of fruit received from the United States Is put at 82.802,. of which 3.12i per cent was found to have San Jose scale. ,Of the apples received, from the eastern part of the United States 1.84. per cent are reported infested. This is the most astonishing claim of all, for we have believed the apple orch ards, at least of the region east of the .Rocky Mountains, little affected. Itis further claimed that of all the apples shipped from California to Hamburg 42.44 per cent were affected, and of the apples from Oregon 51.44 per cent The moral is that our own orchardists had better educate themselves up to the point of knowing the San Jose and Other scales, and then carefully inspect all fruit to be shipped to Europe. We wish to foster the European trade and to do. so must send them fruit above suspicion. Tnrough slack methods, we may arouse a sentiment in foreign countries against the admission of our fruit, and ,the presence of such things as the San Jose scale gives them a good excuse for keeping out our products. Doubtless the European raisers of ap ples would be glad to see an embargo against American fruit, which is cer talaly competing severely with them in their home markets. Here Kvldeacaoa KlsaTan From the Farmers Review: I have been interested in your articles oa Kieffer pear pollinations. It may be of interest to you to know that in 1901 I have very carefully gone over the ground again and the results this year are practically identical with those published in our last annual report Of 366 crosses on Kieffer with Bartlett, Duchess, Garber, Le Conte and Seckel pollen, ,171, or, 4? per cent, started to grow. Of 68? Kieffer on Kieffer, 5 weak fruits have 'started, but 'will probably not develop. G.

William Adams in Indiana Farmer. Foaadatloa ef Colt Trmlalas;. . It is important to, know that the piv otal point of, action of the colt is the center of his body, in" opposite direc tions, writes Dr. J. C. Curryer in The Farmer. In other words, whatever hap pens at the front end of the colt impels him backwards, and that at the rear Induces .forward movements. , For whehjthe rope at his flank is suddenly brought into "action (when he thought .beVwould pull his bead out of the hal ter) ' the movement is so promptly re versed that beseems to wonder what In the world had happened at the other end. As an illustration of this law, it tea well-known fact, that if a horse gets his front foot over a bar or other object (if not more than six inches above the ground) and feels the -pressure on the hack part of his leg, he will go backwards and pull his foot off or get loose; when he could by a forward movement easily step over the', object' It is also well known that if ahorse attempts to go through a narrow doer1, or other passage, which presses him on both sides, after get- ting beyondthe center of his .body, he cannot he induced to back out, but goes on through if it breaks his hips down. To further and easily demonstrate this law of "the 'actions of the horse, we have only to take up one of. his front feet and carry it forward to the strain ing point and he is seen to go back wards for relief, then carry the same foot backwards beyond the center of his body and he as naturally goes for wards;for his liberty. Operations with the hind feet produce sthe samaactiona in relation-.to the ceater of bis body. Now what does this all mean to the educator and trainer of colts for useful mature horses? Does it not indicate to the handler during colthood that he, as well as the colt" should understand ail the duties to be performed and. just how to execute the movement? Does it not mean tiurt the educator of the colt for ,hls (the colt's) future useful ness, should not only always make the lessons In accordance with good com mon sense, but "horse sense" as well? These two fundamental senses should always be in .harmony. But where they work In opposition difficulties and mis chief without end are almost sure to follow, and usually the good character of the colt Is Injured. On account of being a mute he cannot plead his own cause..' When; we stop aad consider that the horse never performs even the most trivial duty for us that he has not been taught to do, and the great va riety of services ' he willingly and cheerfully executes for us when he has been instructed how to do them; then is It not a" plain and important propo sition (as his life, like that of man, is , one of duties to be performed) jthat he should have a finished education, a training commensurate with the suc cessful execution of each requirement? y Oa Way ta Kees. Apples. The following way of keepiag apples can hardly be considered according to the rules, but we publish it as a small scrap of evidence on a big matter. At a meeting of Minnesota horticulturists George Andrus read a paper on "A Good Way to Keep Apples in a. Com mon Cellar." Pack the apples care fully In a barrel or box, keep them moist, by pouring water on the cellar Ioor and upon the apples themselves. The fruit should ' be protected from light and air. The air draws the moisture from the apples, and so will paper,, if : .the apples are wrapped in it Mr. Andrus says in this way. he has kept Tollman, Sweets ten months, Wil loW Twigs twelve months, Golden Rus sets thirteen months, and they were JusV as fresh as when taken from the Jtrees: The best success he ever had in keeping apples was one spring when the -water. flooded his. cellar. The wat er was two and .oee-half inches deep. This method js" certainly worth trying in a small way, but is such an innova- " tio'ri, that "It will be best not to risk too muchia the first trials.
