WELCOME HOME!

BY WILLIAM BELL.
Little eyes watch for papa TO come;
Little feet run to welcome him home;
Little hands grasp the firm, clinging hand
of papa, the happiest man in the land
A little mouth lifted for papa TO kiss;
A little breast filled with innocent bliss;
A little head resting on papa's strong frame;
A little heart buraing with loves holy fame.
A comely face seen through the window-So bright
Its features illumiued by loves gentle light
And beaming eyes watching her husband to eomei
The joy of her heart and pride Of her home
Little feet run to get papa his chair;
Gentle hands smooth his disordered hair;
A wife and a child, 50 loving and kind
what bliss for the heart what peace for the mind
A loving voice driving away every care;
A dear. prattltug tongue making music so rare
The worry and strife fthe world all forgot
in the comfort and joy Of earth's dearest spot.
The lamps diifuSing their clear, mellow light
The genial CRATE, burning cheerful aud bright
O. amid earths attractions therr's no place ike
home,
where loving hearts wait for papa to come

ApIa,s Treaeherous Harbor.

WASHINGTON, April Capt Selfridge,
U. S. N, was found at the navy department
peering over a chart Of the harbor of Apia,
which he visited several years ago. He said
that while it was very bad harbor. it was
the best on the island Of Upola. Like all Of
the Pacific Island harbors, that of Apia is
formed by a coral reef encircling the island
at short distance from the shore. The
anchorage space available for men-of-war is
contracted, being about 1000 feet wide at
the mouth of the harbor. The bottom is
sandy, affording slight hold for an anchor
and the harbor is exposed on the north.
On each side of the entrance are coral
reefs, which are swash at high water and are
surrounded by shoals. The depth Of water
ranges from four to eight fathoms, pretty
deep water being found close to shore, which
would enable ship to get close in. Hurri-
canes or cyclones at Apia are usually from
the southwest, and revolving in the harbors
tend to force vessels on the rugged reefs Of
rough shores.
The last hurricane occurred at Apia just
six years ago. Fortunately no men-of-war
where in the habor, but every merchant
man was driven ashore or wrecked, houses
were destroyed and palm trees uprooted.

of the army, there exists a mistaken i'm
preston that the general commanding is in
finitely of more concern than the secretary
Of war; that his word is law, so far as per-
tains to army matters, and that all assign
ments of officers, or anything affecting the
personnel of the army, must come from
him.
A number of officers who had this idea
last week are not, however, of that opinion
at present. The whole matter grew out of
the disposition Of the board of revision of
army tactics. The board had been in session
for the past eighteen months at the war de-
partment, and it was thought about time
that they be sent to some large post where
practical experiments could be conducted
with available troops The board wanted to
go to Fort Wadsworth, New York, harbor,
or to Davids island in the same harbor.
Gen. Schofield was in favor of West Point, a
lovely place to spend the summer. 1t is re-
ported that the general recommended this
place as possible field for the new tactics
to be thoroughly tested. Adjt Gen. Drum
is practical soldier, and, in virtue of his
position as adjutant general of the army
here, commanded that the board go to Fort
Leavenworth. Secretary Proctor decided
in favor of Gen. Drum, and the board goes
to Fort Leavenworth. Although the matter
in itself was of trivial nature, it has caused
considerable gossip in army circles, and in
dicates that the secretary of war proposes to
exercise his full right in all matters affecting
the army, and that the line of authority be-
tween Gen. Schofield and himself will be
as clearly drawn now as it was under previ-
ono cocratariaS

Female Farmers.

Will.the coming young woman be
farmer?
Scattered all over the broad praries
of the Northwest are hundreds Of self
reliant, true blue young heroines. living
in small, isolated cabins called shacks,
proving up claims, entering homesteads
and making money.
1t is lonesome, drearv business, this
living alone on wild, unsettled prarie,
without face or human form to well
come one or cheer ones solitude, but
there seem to be good many young
women who have the grit to hang to
this solitary life long enough to prove
up claim at least.
-Four young ladies' in Dakota last year
put their heads together and hit upon
an ingenious plan, whereby they could
each securea claim and yet all live COM
fOrtably together in one house and each
he upon her own land. Instead of
building four shacks of one room each,
they constructed one shack with four
rooms, but so nicely planned that each
room of the square building was on a
different quarter section. Each had
her own bed in her own room and in
that way, each claimant at night slept
upon her own land.
Society ladies of the city will wonder,
not so much how these young lady set
tiers get along without social privileges,
as how they dared live so far away from
the doctors. Why, bless you! thev never
thought of being sick. Doctors are not
half so much of household necessity
as city people are in the habit of think
ing.
For all ordinary ills of life, tue old
fashioned roots and herbs remedies are
more effective, and much safer in re-
suits, than modern doctors pills and
potions. These latter are so radical in
their effects that, while they may better
meet the modern desire for quick re-
suits, they frequently permantly injure
the system, nature rebelling against the
unnatural methods employed.
1t is always safest To follow natural
methods in treating disease. The old
time roots and herbs remedies, which
our good old log-cahin grandmothers
knew so well how 10 prepare, were the
best medicines the world ever knew,
because they were natures remedies.
The modern world needs them. In
Warmers Log Cabin Remedies. and
especially such as Warmers Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla and Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy, the
people of to-day have an opportunity
to secure the healthy medicines which
our rugged ancestors used with such
splendid results.
