As everybody knows , "Halt Columbia" bravely served fig n national anthem until it was dlaplaced by tbo "Star 3pnnglcd Banner - ner , " It Is not eo generally known , however - ever , that 1898 Is the centenary of the words to the music of the earlier anthem which were inspired by tttd threatened war with Prance In 1788. They wore written by Judge Joseph 1Iopkinson of Philadelphia , one of the signora of the Declaration of hulepend- once. In that eamo year Bobert Treat Paine wrote the fnmor song of ' 'Adams ' and Liberty , " which was wedded to the music of the present "Star Spangled Banner. " I'nlne's lyric contained the two immortal lines : Anil ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slave. While time earth bears a plant , or the sea rolls its waves , Ur. Samuel Francis Smith wrote the words of "America , " or "My Country , 'Tie of Thee , " In 1832. It was sung for the first time by Sunday school children in the Park Street church In Boston on the Fourth of July that year to the music of "God Sate rho Queen , " Abort "Ynnkce IOatlle. Ilut earlier than all of these as a typical American song and air camp "Yankee Doodlc , " The words vere written by am English army surgeon In a divieion of tlm New England militia who hind Jolimed time English troops In camp below Albany , when there was a movement on foot for the rc- ductlon of the French power In lime Cai n- dian provinces.

The ragged militia adopted limo song , to the Intense ntnuscmcnt of the regular troops , but yenta Inter when an English army heard the stir Iris of "Ynnkuo Doodle" at Lexington thu laugh was on the other side. Then and there , in the vorfs of a British officer , the army of Gcorge III was "made to dance to the music , " and they did not relish the performance. John Dlelcinsan of Delaware , a signer of the Declaration of dndepondoncc , wrote one of the earliest patriotic songs of the cub- nice. The title of It was "The Liberty Song , " and the dale 1768. The opening stanza rend : Coma loln in hand , bravo Americans nil , And roues your bold hearts at Liberty's call No tyrannous acts shall suppress your lust claim , Or slain with dlgllonor America's name , In freedom we're born , ahd lit frcedonm will Ilve : Our purses are rcndy- Slecuhy , friends , stetuly- Nut as slnves , but um freemen , our money we'll give , " A Ihutker 11111 Ilnllad. The Stamp Act was then kindling the fires of revolution. A stanza front a popular song lust before hunker 11111 heralded the coming conflagration In these words : Then freedom's the word , both at home and ubroa'l , And every scabbard that hides a rood sword 1 Our forefathers rave us lids freedom in hand , Amid s'o'II file In defense of the rights of time land , Derry down , down , hey Berry down , If the meter tans rough , time sentiment was right. Not nanny battles had been fought when the victorious colonists began to ask in exultant song : Great heavens ! Is this the nation , whose thundering arms were hurled Through Eurupo Africa , lmulia ? w'hoso navy ruled time world ? . The luster of whose former deeds , whose ages of renown , Lost ha tt moment , are transferred to us \t'iislihi.toi , " 'The American Soldiers' Hymn" was time title of one of the rellglous ° songs of the revolution. The Puritan splrlt breathes out In every line of It : his Cod that : Iris our armor on And all our lust designs fulfills : Through himn our feet can swiftly run And nlmbly climb the steepest hills. . . . . . . . 'Tis Gail that stil supports our right , Nis just revenge our foes pursues ; 'Tis lie that wlth reslstless might Fierce natlons to Ills power subdues.

Lyrics of 1812 , The w nr of 1812 brought forth an ha- menso crop of martialsomig , One of the earliest songs of that period has this spirited verse : F , The dnys of seventy-six my boys , ' Iva ever must revere' Our fathers took their muskele then To light for freedom dear.

"Union and Liberty" was sung all over the country : i Let lsnglnnd exult In her castles of wood , And shnium every port hi the east with her Hounder ; Let her quench her ambition with oceans of blaud Ifer huFe lion nay roar With his mutmo bathed ht gore , 131111 Amerlcu s eagle trintnphnnt shall soar , 't'be $ tttr $ pnuglcd llnanrr , lint of all the war songs our fathers sang , "Tho Star Spangled Banner" has probably i lakeim the deepest and strongest liold on time national affection. The older the natlon grows the more popular this song becomes , so that today It Is undoubtedly lit more favor than either "Yankee Doodle" or "America , " Many competent experts on national hymns and music have declared that "The Star Spangled Bummer" Is , par excellence , time American national song , It la all American , There Is not a line In it which 1s borrowed from any other nation , It Is as purely Amnerfean as the "Marsellnlso" is French , or as "Rule Britannic" 1s Eng halt. Like the "Maraelislso" It was born in time Inspiration of a battle hour. It was pitched to the keynote of a screaming shell , written In lute vary heart of a tight , It may almost be sald to have written Itself out of the cfrcumztaoces that surrounded the writer , It was a literal photograph Inverse verso of the scene on which his eyes were looking as he yenned its immoral lines. The story of its production is as romantic ' as auythhng In the history of war literature , Francis Scott Key , the son of John Itoas Bey , a revolutionary officer , bad gone on board the British admiral's flag ship , "The Surprise , " iu Chesapeake bay , under a slag of truce , in order to try to save a friend , Dr , llrnncs , on September 19 , 1814 , The British Beet , under Mlnifral Cockburn , began the bonilmarduient of the Baltimore t forts on that day , and he declined to allow jCey to depart. The bombardmsat went on k far into the night , and when , the morning came , young Key strained his eyes to see whether Fort Metlenry had been surren- dered. Suddegly a rift appeared In the stnnko and mist enveloping time fort , and through It Key saw that the flag was still waving over It. Instantly the great song was born. Ile sat right down on the deck of the British admiral's flagship and began wrlting : "Oh say , can you see by lho dawn's early light , \'lint so proudly we hall'd at the twilight's last gleaming , " The song became immediately popular , and within n week was being sung in all the American camps and at time theaters as well. Key wrote many other poems , and they were published in a volume in 1868 , thirteen years after his death. Ile was 34 years of age when he wrote "The Star Spangled Banner , " and though all his other verses are forgotten , this one will keep his memory green as long as our republic lasts. lie was burled in the Ifttlo cemetery - tory at Frederick , Md. , and a star spangled banner is appropriately kept waving over his grave all the year remind ; as fast as one flag fades , it ! s replaced by a new one , A Soug of the Sen. "Truxton's Song" was sung all through the navy from commodore down to cabin boy , It commemorated the splendid victory of that old aca warrior over the French in 1799 , but was not written until 1819.

And thus our bravo old general nolher battle won , Still , still our glorious banner waves , unstained - stained by tight or shame , And the Mexicans among the hilts still tremble at our name , The "Bivouac of the Dead , " by Theodore O'Hare , Is familiar to every-school ivy. . In the presidential campaign that followed the war General Taylor's deeds were fervidly eulogized , but the songs In his honor belong for the most to political rather than to war literature. The principal songs of the civil war seem destined to a long life , while the sectionalism In which they had their origiti 'is nil but vanished , The sentimental portion.of them , such as "Somebody's Darling ; "Just Before the Battle , " "Kiss Me , Mother , and Let Die Go , " appeal as tenderly to the generation of today as they did to that of thirty years ago , while the "Tramp , Tramp , the Boys are Marching , " "Dixie , " "Maryland , My Maryland - land , " and "Jahn Brown's Body , " are the martial airs which cheer. on thersbldlers and sailors of the nation to assured victory.

'The warning toots of tugs and steamers and ferryboats ; the ringing of alarm bells at the various ferry landings , and the doleful cries of the Goat Island and Point Bonita sirens have to him no special significance. And yet these familiar fog phenbmena furnished Bret Harto with a theme torlt piece of tilt finest descriptive writing that ever flowed from his pen. pen.Whence Whence comes the great gray baq $ of fog that is carried by time strong western trade winds to time coastline and to the'gatea of the city with the setting of the Summer sun is a matter of as much speculation as are the causes of the trade winds before which the fog bank is driven inland. It has been inferred that the trade winds are created by the healing of the great interior valleys and the inrush of the colder air of the son to supply time vacuum which the healing process produces. Thus the warm air , which has been laden with moisture by solar crap- oration tar out at sea , tss'drnvssn tnettore over the cold northern current'tbat-sweeps down the coast , condensing the vapor into a dense " " and chilling fog , " While this phenomenon ls.prosent on the greater pert of the coast line , it is more conspicuous in the vicinity of Saii "Francisco than any other part of it , which-gives weight to the foregoing theory of Its origin , as the Golden Gate and the low-lylflg'hilis of the San Francisco peninsula furnish an unobstructed - structed avenue for the aerial currents from the sea to enter the heated central basin of the , state , reducing the tenlperaturo of both day and night to that plehsant mean wlilch makes the California climate matchless - less ammtg the climates of the earth. And time dense redwood forests which extend along the coast from Momlerey 'bay to the Oregon line draw their sustcnange from the summer fog drift , for , as it passes through their tall lops , It is held and condensed ht the enmbrace of their brauches' Into a drizzle that dreoches time soil in which their roots are grounded , In time winter the meteorological student finds in the fog drift in San Francisco bay important and almost unfailing weather signs , Three consecutive foggy days and nights are almost invariably forerunners of a rain storm , They are usually followed by a strong southeuster , which drives the fog out of the bay and brings with ii the rain- laden clouds that have been-formed la the Gulf of California to drench the earth over which they pass , 'to ' lima San Francisco fisherman the fog drift Is an open book , lie knows through its signs the condition of the weather In the outer roadstead without consulting eilheh the weather bureau or the lookout at the Point Lobos signal station , It the bay is full of fog and a strong breeze is rusting Its waters , he knows that it Is in nine chances out of ten comparalively calm outside - side and probably clear. It the fog bank extends hike a wall from the Golden Gate to the Berkeley shore , while the rest of the bay Is clear , be knows that the outer roadstead - stead is clear , but banked with fog , which , later in limo day , will be drlveu Inshore by the trade wind , Ills movements and operations - tions are governed largelj by the fog signs with which ha is so familiar and much of his immunity from-disaatcr ! s duo to this fog craft , 'When the fog settles on llro'bap not only are all the landmarks shut out-of the terry- master's vision , but the m sterloue Influence - ence of fog on the trait ThThsIoi1 of sound is so deceptive that lhe'1oeeUon of the siren signals and the steam whistles of moving craft la uneerlafn and' oIfcn mimleadhtg. It is actually on record that the sound of the fob bell at one of the ferry laudings was not heard on one of thetferryboats en two recent occasions , wheadhe nose of the boat was within 100 feet ot'tIfe ship , and a complaint - plaint was lodged against the man whose duly it was to ring ith ! ' bell on the pro. sumpllon that he was not performing it. And yet there was po.illvo proof furnished on both occasions thatlthe bell was going , but the sound tailed to3penetrato the fog , and drifted inshore to the peril of the ship. It has been shown In e4ldcnca that a steam- boat's whistle was hoard mon one side when the vessel actually occupied limo opposite position. Among the curious phenomena relating to fog is the fact lhntatl'fogs'are not alike , either in density or lhfluence. Ocean fogs offer very little trouble to bay navigation for time reason that they. drift in irregularly and contain frequent breaks through which the lookout can see 400 or 500 yards ahead , A laud or marsh fog is what the navigators of Inland waters dread , It often limits the vision to less than one-halt the length of the craft , TIIE 1'ALAGIq Oil' GATSCJIINA. Snnetnnry of Snfely for time Cxnr of All lltrltusslna. The palace of Oatschlna can not be corn- pared wltim such castles as Versailles , Sans- soucl or Schoenbrunn , says the London News. It has nothing of the artistic embellishment - bellishment of the one , the historical memo- tics of the other or the landscape beauty and comfort of the third. Situated in the middle of a wide and desert plain , It has no pretty surroundings , and , built without luxury , its exterior does not make an imposing - posing impression , Gatschina lies between Tanrekoje-Selo and ICrasnoje-Selo , and the roads from each of these places to the im- penal palace , which have private court railway stations , are placed under parlle- ular supervision , anti may not be used except - cept by the court , A high wall incloses time park , In time center of 'Lich is time palace , and this wall Is protected by patrols , which never leave the outer circle nor the park itself for one imminent out of sight. Enlrnnco Is only permitted by special order - der , Though time superintendameo is so strict , it is said that the hmhabitauta of the palace are not , and must nut be , na-ore of it , Tlmeir plensures and comforts are not impaired by It , and all time nnusemcnts that could be agreeable to the emperor and his family-drives , loots , riding and row- hmg , evening parties , theatrical reprosenta- lions , etc cnn be pnrtnkemm of. Adjoining the well-tended park is an extensive wood- hue the park , surrounded by a wall and guarded , In the park itself are two lake- Ilke basins of water ; the palace contains splendid saloons , mmd two colonnades wimleim afford agreeable promenades 1n bad weather ; all this aids lu preventing the inhabitants from feeling anything of the anxious and nevcr-tiring supervision held over them and time want of Inure charming surroundings , Sometimes the royal family Inhabit Peter- Lot but alwnys return to Gatschina. Peter- hot is more magnificent , Oraulenbaum prettier - tier , but Gatschina is considered safer and quieter. For many years before the acces- sian of Alexander III the palace had been unused ; he caused It to ho restored mud confortably furnished , It has been seldom spoken of and scarcely mo e was known of it than that the imperial hounds were kept there , The Gatechina race was celebrated , and a dog from time imperial pack was very valuable , but people cared little for the castle and park , Still Gatschina has its lhistory. Peter the Great made a'gift of : it to his favorite ale- ter , Natalie ; Catherine II gave ! t to her favorite Orloff , who furnished it at great expense , and built additional ediilces , by which , after the plans of the Italian architect - tect , Binaldl , it received quite a different form , After Orloff's tdcath the empires re- bought it from his 'family and gave it' to the Archduke Paul , who imdmbited it for some length of 'time. The palace forms a long square , at each corner of which is a stately tower. The dwelling rome are in three stories. Time colonnades rmu along the sides , and the pillars are of Finland marble , The rooms are not architecturally beautiful , but are adorned with valuable pictures and sculpture from the imperial hermitage in St. Petersburg , from time An- itschkow palace and from the winter pal- ace. The views are limtted by the park and wood , which , however , have been beautifully laid out by the celebrated St. Petersburg landscape gardener , 111I N EXTILAVAGAIc'r Too. lords of Creation Spend Money More Recklessly Than 1Vmnen.
