Some Americans who were crossing
the Atlantic met in the cabin on Sun
day night to sing hymns. As they sang
the last hymn. Jesus. Lover OF Ny
Soul" one of them heard an exceed
ingly rich and beautiful voice behind
him. He looked round. and although
he did not know the face. he thought
that he knew the voice. So. when the
music ceased. he turned and asked the
man if he had been in the civil war.
The man replied that he had been .
confederate soldier.
Were you at such q place on such
a night?" asked the first man.
YES" replied the second man. "and
a curious thing happened that night
which this hymn has recalled to my
mind. l was posted on sentry duty
near the edge of a wood. 1t was
dark night and very cold, and was
a little frightened, because the enemy
were supposed to be very near. About
midnight, when everything was still,
and l was feeling homesick aud miser-
able and weary, l thought that would
comfort myself by praying and singing
a hymn. l remember these lines:

soldiers that had fallen into their
hands. It was understood that the cit
liens of the town encouraged them In
this, and there was general desire
throughout the army to wipe out the
place. Finally a considerable force
was sent against it of cavalry, infantry
and artillery. The Sd Indiana and 9TH
Pennsylvania composed the cavalry.
We started at daylight. under the
command of General Which. OF the
32d Indiana infantry. BY noon we
reached the outskirts of the town. and
were saluted with a volley from the
rebel battery. Our own battery soon
got into position, and the firing was
kept up on both sides for some time.
It was a kind of an artillery duel. In

LONDON. May O.-According to q
dispatch from Paris. Commodore Dew
ey's dispatches and the completeness
of the American victory have greatly
chagrined the French press, which
has been assuring France that the
American fleet was locked up in Ma

full of criticisms of the Spanish fight

losing the arsenal at Cavite through

To the American Eagle.


Oh. wherefore do thine iron talons hold
The thunderbolts Of Jove.
Thou lordly bird Of light and liberty,
That long from seaside grove
To midway sands
OF arid lands
In might hast spread thy pionions
And seen expand
Ger sea and land
Thy prosperous dominions:
Why dost thou bear the arrows or the
sky
In all thine airy fight.
Except it be to strike the tyrant down
In Freedoms holy fight.
Thou are the war-lord Of the freemen's
host:
Their eyes are turned to thee:
Thy wings unfettered. thou alone can'st
soar
Above the Antillian sea.
Thy duty lies
Where tropic skies
Behold nation dying,
War-worn. and where
Is seen in air
The Spanish vulture flying.
There swells the war for manhood and
for man.
There roarS the noble fight
That heroes wage, out-numbered ana out
armed,
For the dear prize of right.
Let thy swift wings disturb the southern
day.
Thy shade on Cuba fall.
Let thy red lightning flash from cloud 10
cloud,
Thy voice to freedom call:
Then everywhere,
The sea. the air,
Thy warrior gaze deliShting,
Will change to forms
OF wrathful storms
Their myriad nights uniting.
And breed a hurricane that shall upoear
The vulture from his hold.
And sweep him back beyond Atiantic
flood,
Into his cavern old

crops give protection to the crimson
clover till it il high enough to with
stand the heat of the sun. It can be
sovn on the ground after the other
crop is in. and need not be narrowed
in or covered in any way. It sprouts
very easily and will soon send down
its tiny roots for moisture and 1000.
Attempts have been made at some OF
the stations in the north to grow 1t at
different seasons. but the sowings IN
the spring have proven the best In the
south the seed Is sown in September.
and the plant blooms in the following
April, but this rule cannot be followed
here. At the Michigan station crimson
clover seed was sown with oats In the
spring and produced a heavy crop OF
fodder in October and November, the
roots being plowed under in the fall,
thus adding much nitrogen and hbre 20
the land. Another piece was sown
without oats and produced a much
smaller quantity of hay. but gave a sec
ond crop that was used as pasturase.
After the pasturage failed 1t was IN
shape to be plowed under.
Two years ago the same station SEED
ed a plat to crimson clover thu last day
of each month, beginning with Marcn.
This March seeding ripened a good
crop OF hay. The plat sown In May
made a heavy growth that carried It
through the winter, but this can be
depended on but little. 1t Is evident
that il a crop has to be left on as q
protection most of its value Is sacrl-
feed, even for manure. Spring seedlings
have proved best for northern localities
and will continue to do so for the rea-
son that the seed is more certain TO
receive the needed moisture at that
time. Here is one Of the greatest dan
gers that the crop has to face@tne
lack of moisture-for even II 1t has
enough moisture to start the seed II
often fails, because the moisture Is not
present in sufficient quantity to con-
tinue the growth till the plant Is well
established. The very fact OF its sprout-
ing SO easily is against it in this re-
gard, that any light shower Is likely
to cause it to sprout when 1t has nc
moisture by means Of which to con-
tinue future growth. The amount Of
seed to be used per acre varies from
eight to fifteen pounds. according te
character of soil and atmospheric con
ditions.

Story Of Jefferson Davis.


Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake told an
interesting story of the Goddess OF
Liberty on the Washington capitol the
other day. 1t was during discussion
of the life Of Jefferson Davis. You
may not know" she said, that Davis
was one of the committee to select the
statue of liberty for the top OF the
capitol. The goddess usually wears
little cap. you know. This Is called
the Phrygian cap. as it was given to
their slaves by the Phrygians. when
emancipated, as a badge of freedom.
Davis said the statue should not have
such a headdress. so instead she wears
a helmet with feathers. American
liberty was never slave" he said:
"she shall wear no badge but the
feathers of the eagle of freedom"

Crimson Clover In the North.
Crimson clover has been regarded,
and justly so, as a plant more suited

circumstances. II it be sown at Just

II the whole of the plant is left as q

The early settlers of central and
southern Illinois were neither a fruit
eating nor a fruit-producing people.
They depended upon the forests for
their supply Of fruit. The children
gathered the blackberries, grapes.
plums. persimmons and paw paws. A
few more enterprising had peaches.
They were seedlings as rule. Peaches
were peaches to the pioneer. AS the
country developed, some Of the farmers
began to plant apple sprouts and seed
lings. When the chief end of the apple
was cider or vinegar, it made little dif-
ference what kind Of an apple they
had, Some who had been used to bet
ter fruit, brought gratis with them.
On our farm are some apple trees
about sixty years old which still show
the point of union between the stock
and the scion. Many of the early va
rieties thus developed were unsuited to
our soil and climate. All of the orch
ards were small and only intended to
supply the family. This was the state

that there is no phosphorus in casein.

has also demonstrated the presence in
casein OF sulphur, and therefore decides

from Stoneham was telescoped at Somer-
vile, Mass, yesterday and Is passengers
were injured badly, although none were
killed The property loss in Boston and
vicinity is estimated at several million dol
lars.
The saddest part of the story comes from
Gloucester and other towns on the coast.
Many vessels we're wrecked, and the loss of
life was large. A dozen vessels went
ashore at Gloucester and as many more
were lost. Four unidentified bodies lie in
the coroner's Office in Gloucester. Five
more are in Lynn, brought over from Little
Nahant, on the rocky beach of which was
wrecked the schooner Charles II Briggs
Twelve unknown corpses are reported to be
at Bakers island in Salem harbor.
Up and down the coast from Cape Ann
to Cape Cod are seen the grim results of
the storm. Boston harbor was bestrewn
with wreckage and the beaches were not
exempt from similar spectacle, while al
most all of the ships within half a mile
broke from their moorngs during that
fearful night and worked destruction to
themselves and their neighbors. On land
the loss by the storm seems to have been
confined entirely to property, for while
horses almost wlthou' number were killed
in the main thoroughfares of Boston, cleo
trocutei by falling trolley wires, by some
miraculous chance no human being was
struck, although there were many narrow
escapes.
