THE TWINS IN THE TURRET.

First rifle Can you see her, oh, my brother? Can you sight her through the rack? Is that streak across the smother Coal smoke trailing from her stack? Do you hear how, louder clearer, Sounds the throbbing of screws? When we come a little nearer Which of us shall hail her? Choose. Second rifle Let me send brief opinion Of the murders on the Maine; Of the eagles new dominion, When we've closed accounts with Spain There they've passed the word to crowd her, Here's your squad, too. the Glad we've got this smokelesS powder, Now look out-you'H see the fun First rife Are you ready, brother, ready, With your thunderbolt of steel? Have you got your bearings steady? Godsl you made the whole world reel. Now it's my turn; what, you hit her In her vitals? Oh, what blssi There Is naught in life bitter For rife as @ miss. Second rife All hells loose; there's no use talking That's the time you ripped her wide; Look there's Davy Jones a-walking, Picking Spaniards from the tide. Hi! but it's a bowling racket For great, long silent gun! Easy, now, don't burst your jacket, Our death-dealing work Is done.

THE MIXED FLOUR TAX.

| IHlLE the American people will cheerfuly pay \AI the taxes imposed by the revenue bill, they
 will be very glad when the time for the removal of the burden. Taxes constitute one of the disagreeable items of the of military glory There is one tax in the list, however, which they will not only pay willingly now but would be glad to have continued indefinitely by of its bearing upon the pure food question That is the tax i'm posed upon mixed four.
 l A duty imposed upon mixed flour will distinguish it from pure flour, and if there be revenue stamp affixed to every barrel bag package offered for sale the public will be able to readily recognize the sophisticated article when they see it. The tax inn posed, being only cents barrel, will not be bur densome upon those who prefer the mixed four and its permanent continuance, therefore would not be unfair to any
 It has been the claim of the mixed four producers that the product is just heahul as pure wheat flour and much more convenient for bread making as we'll as being in some respects pleasing to the In the main the claim seems to be well justified but there are exceptions. Some of the adulterators of wheat flour do not take the pains to make the adul- iteration with mixtures that are strictly harmless When sophistication begins 1t does not always con- tinue in state of innocence.
 | The Philadelphia Record says that among the adul- terants of flour used by dishonest dealers are ourne WliCH lS llc lcuSC Ol glucose IdCtOrleS, eraine, white clay kaolin ground to powder; barytes, form of pulverized rock, and corn flour made from maize All of these except the last named contain matter positively injurious to hea1th while the ground clay and rock are of course, absolutely destitute of any life-sustaining qualities l It is open secret that many of the members of Congress who voted for the imposition of this tax along with others in the revenue bill did so as much because of its effect pure food measure as for the revenue it would raise For long time past the manufacturers of pure flour have been striving to ob tain sort of national legislation that would pro- tect their interests against the adulterators. The present tax tends in that direction and will help to bring about better, more direct and more compre- hensive pure food law hereafter
 It is to be regretted that the tax is not made even more distinctive than it is As stands it confounds all mixed Hours into class making no distinction between those which are hea1thfu and those which are not Moreover, it would have been well to inl- pose similar tax upon all adulterated foods as well as mixed flour. The makers of bogus olive oil and bogus fruit preserves ought to have been made to pay their share of taxes as well as the mixed flour What has been done however is a step
 in the right direction and as such it will be hailed with satisfaction.

AMERICAN SHIPPING.

Within a few years our navy will rank second only to that of England. If this means anything it means that our mer- chant service will move up ultimately to the same place. Safety and dignity will be given to our trading ships by the pres ence in all waters of Government ves- sels. Capital will seek investment in shipyards and in ships. and foreign gov ernments will follow the lead of Russia by having their warships constructed here. This may seem a roseate view to take of the situation, but it is one amply borne out by the facts.-Philadelph In OIIirAr

CALIFORNIA IN THE WAR.

K OTHING could better illustrate the progress of
 NJ the West than the record this State is making Tn the present war, compared with the record 1t made in the sixties. Then California was sparsely settled remote from the rest of the country Now it has developed into mighty commonwealth, and at the call to military service has thousands more men to offer than needed It has more than two regi- ments under arms, one of them probably now in the Philippines the other eagerly awaiting the order to go. It is to muster in a third complete regiment, and proud as we are of the volunteers in service those who yet to take the oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam will be as much a credit to California The only embarrassment arises from the eagerness of still others to enlist
 It IS not only that its young sprang by thou sands to answer the summons to arms, that one of its regiments the first to start against foreign foe, that California exults The spirit of patriotism manifest in every quarter of the great State has been so emphatic and unanimous that each heart has been stirred. There has not been heard voice of dis sent Regardless of party the administration has been upheld, and the it wages pronounced a righteous one. But there has been shown, also, a splendid hospitality, which, without the shadow of selfish motive, has "cast bread on the waters" The women have from the first been as eager as the men to display their ardor They have welcomed the sol dier as he came, fed and nursed him while he stayed and bade him godspeed as he departed On distant fields and on alien he will remember the women with blessings.
 It is idle boast to say that California has done well. Alone and unaided this State could, if neces- sary, raise army and gladly would that army go forth to battle for the flag

BILMARTIN'S SPILL.
His Pace Machines Piled and Bill
Was Hurt.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 12.-The fif-
teen-mile match race between John S.
Johnson and "Plugger" Bill Martin
saw an ugly spill, caused by one of
Martins triplet teams in taking the
pace, cutting straight down the bank
rather than obliquely. The quad team
which was pacing Martin at the time
crashed into the tripIet, and machine
and riders piled up in a head. Oldfield,
and riders piled up in a heap. Oldfield,
~, if not fatally injured.
The accident occurred in the first lap
of the fifth mile. The men were riding
furiously, with prospects of making a
record. Johnson was cut and bruised
but gamely pulled himself together and
rode on. Martin was also cut about the
arms and hands and an old wound on
his knee, received on the first day of
the meet, was reopened. He, too,
mounted and took after Johnson, but
his injuries were too severe, and he
was compelled to quit in the first lap
Of the fourteenth mile.
Johnson, leading, covered the first
mile in 2:13 Martin took the lead in
the second mile and was ahead when
the spill came.
The time for the four miles before
the accident was 7:40 2-5. Martin was
leading at the end of the thirteenth
mile, his time being 25:18. Johnson's
time for fifteen miles was 2S:55.
