A BALLAD OF DECORATION.
In the sarlandsd grass where the multi

In the garlanded grass where the multi
tudes plod,
And the splendor Of spring overhows,
The souls Of the heroes climb up thro'
the sod,
And smile in the cheeks of the rose
We turn back the leaves Of the ledger Of
doom
And trace thro' the stains OF old tears
The story that closed mid the grief and
the gloom
or the wearisome. war-shadowed years.
We stifie q sigh as we trample the clay
Where the ranks of the pale legiOns
And we dream, as we turn from their
tablets away,
That for freedom tbs glorious to die.
The teeth of Old Time on the granite may
CRATE,
Tnl the proudest shafts crumble and
fall
But Remembrance will stand with her
flowers at the gate
TIL the trumpet is loosed on the wall.
All, sweet is the breath OF the roses, and
sweet
Are the light and the laughter of May;
But the Past, like specter, Is chained
at our feet,
In the flash Of his martial array.
The chaplets Of love we may bind on the
urn5
OF the Blue and the Gray with our
tears,
But the wrong of rebellion still rankles
and burns
Like fire in the heart Of the years.
The shrek of the bondmen, the clank Of
the chain,
Are hushed as a tale that is told,
And the clouds that once hung like a
pail DER the plain,
Have swept by, and the skies are as
gold.
The birds build their nests in the can
mons cold lips,
The camps have extinguished their

"Why-but there, l won't keep you,

"My lord? In town." with signla-

of the host that donned the blue nearly
four decades back is preparing to pay
its yearly tribute to its dead through
out the length and breadth of the
land, this memento-a flag so worn
and ragged-is Of strange interest. It's
history is the history of the war.
This flag flew high in the air over
the battlements of Fort Sumter on that
eventful morning of April IL, 1861,
when the newly organized Confederate
forces began the bombardment which
started the greatest conflict Of modern
times.
There were two garrison flags in the
fort; one was the fine weather flag and
the other tht stormy weather flag. Like
the chaos in mems hearts the elements
threatened on that historic day, so the
storm flag was run up and in short time
became the target Of the Confederate
shot.
Before that It was not a fine flag he

AthletIc EsereIao Of Poor sort.

Circumstances connected with the Is
suing of liquor license have brought
out the fact that an athletic club" in
Philadelphia consumes twenty-five
barrels Of beer q month. The process
of disposing Of that quantity of beer
glass by glass, necessarily involves a
good deal of physical exercise, but it
was not exercise Of that description
that brought Gladstone to his 80 years.

"And when you meet my lord-there
will be a reckoning?" Lady Aylmer
said inquiringly.
Eyes," answered Dick grlmly, "there
will be a reckoning, and | don't think
Lord Aylmer will venture to question
me about my return home"
They very soon reached the road in
which Palace Mansions may be found,
and as the brougham drew up at the
entrance to the building Lady Aylmer
uttered an exclamation Of surprise. my
dear boy, you will catch him in the act
that is our carriage"
The servants were huddled up in
iurs over their gorgeous llverles, but
Dick knew them instantly. They, too,
recognized Lady Aylmer, and touched
their hats.
Go straight in" she said. which
are the windows?"
ITO the right Of the door," Dick an
swered.
They were scarcely an instant, and
Dick felt in his pocket. 81 took my
latch-key by accident" he whispered.
"I little thought l should find it so use
full"
The next moment he had opened the
door, when Amelia Harris, hearing
him. came quickly out from the kitchen
and fell back aghast to see her lady
ship and my lords heir, Mr.. Aylmer,
"You," said Dick, in disgust. mot
one word-at your peril"
"Mr. Aylmer-my lady" she be-
gan, when Lady Aylmer stopped her
by wave Of her hand.
Go back to your kitchen, woman"
she said coldly. "Dlck, is there any
other entrance to this house? No?
Then lock that door. We shall require
that woman later, probably"
She pointed imperiously to the door
out Of which Amelia had just come,
and there was no choice but obedience.
All this had passed in a whisper, and
Lady Aylmer said in the same tone to
Dick: (which is the drawing-room?"
"That-the door is not closed"
"Is there a screen?"
Eyes"
"Push It open," she said.
And even as Dick cautiously did so
they heard Lord Aylmer's voice speak

American Physical Detects.

DR.. Olin f. Harvey, of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
who examined more than thousand men
for admission to the army, has embodied
his observations in statement which will
interest the country in general, if not the
medical profession in particular. Many OF
the applicants had to be rejected for
defective vision and large number for
insufficient chest expansions. Strange as
it may seem,'' says DIR. Harvey, nearly all
who had narrow chests were young farm
ers. Brought up to run a pillow or hoe and
scrape the ground with long handled tools,
they had very strong arms and backs, but
were muscle bound and bent over. Their
chests had been contracted, and few OF
them could expand on inhalation the re-
quisite two inches" Summing up, DR..
Harvey gives the following warning hints
for the benefit of the rising genera ion -
a.. Look ont for the eyes of the young
and be careful that they are not allowed
TO oyerwork or strain them.
~ Let the young farmer boys, other
wise vigorous and strong, beware Of the
contraction OF their chests and lungs
They ought to try setting up exercises as a
regular routine.
(3) Bicycle riders ought to beware Of
scourching and racing and of long and
tedious rides across country Ride in
moderation.
a. Take care of the teeth and look alter
them early and persistently.
These suggestions are as vital in peace as
in war and if persistently incuicated as
part of our national training would con-
tribute vastly to American health as well
as powers.

War Tax Decisions.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that deeds to cemetery lots.
which convey only the right to burial
therein, to erect monuments, etc, do not
require a revenue stamp under the new
law.
He has held, Also in another case, that
on deeds of conveyanees the tax should be
computed upon the true value of the prop
ertE conveyed that on deeds conveying
only specified fractional interest in I'M
divided property, the tax should be COM
puted upon the actual value OF the interest
conveyed; also, that all deeds of convey
ance where the value of the property
exceeds 500 must be stamped
The fact that the deed is a deed of gift
from husband or wife does not exempt it
from tax. In States where property cannot
be conveyed directly from husband to wife,
but must be conveyed through a third
party, both deeds must be stamped accord
ing to the true value of the property con-
veyed.
A quit-claim deed, or deed made to
cure a defect in a previous deed, must be
stamped. Deeds of release, executed with
the forms and solemnity of conveyance
of right, title, or interest in real estate, are
held to be subject to tax.
A certificate on the back or margin of a
mortgage that the mortgage has been sat
isfied requires a stamp as a certificate.
Where, however, the local laws authorize
entry of satisfaction upon the record, and
the mortgage is thus cancelled, such entry
does not require stamp.
Letters of administration, lie tiers testa-
mentary or of guardianship, it is held, do
not require stamps, but petitions for the
appointment of administrators, executors,
or guardians do require stamps, as do bonds
of administrators, executors, or guardians
No stamp is required on certificate of tax
sale for unpaid taxes or on certificate Of
redemption from sale.
1t is held, also, that every separate con-
signment Of goods delivered for storage re-
quires receipt, which must be stamped i'll
the consignment requires several days in
delivery. It need not however, have more
than one tax of 25 cents on its receipt if it
can be shown to be one consignment. III
no warehouse receipt is issaed, the book of
the express company delivering the con-
Segment, being signed as q receipt, the
stamp should be affixed thereto. Mere
local operators for the delivery of packages,
baggage, and the like, within the same
town, may give receipts, which are not
required to be stamped
Where, in consideration Of an addition
TO the regular storage,an additional respon-
slbilily is assumed, the instrument ID taxed
and stamped as an insurance policy, at the
rate of / cent on each dollar of premium
charged 1t is also held that where
policy Of life insurance is assigned as col
lateral security for loan exceeding 81 900,
it should be stamped as pledge, according
to the amount of the debt secured, and not
according to the face of the policy.
