though II is reported that we will leave

cake and pc. The boys are all well

When the guns shail finsh and the shot shnll

When the rnttling blasts from the armored

Let their voices loud, through the binding

Remainder. remember the Mainei"
Gods sky and sca In that storm shall be

But across that hell every shot shall tell
Not gun can miss its aim;

And the waves that enRulf the slam
Shall sweep tho decks OF the blackoned wrecks
With the laundering. dread refrain,

CIGARETTE HABIT RUINOUs.
Rejection of Many Volunteers At
tributabIe to it.

Washington, May 1.-THE large number
Of reflections of volunteers has caused
much comment in the army medical corps.
However, the physicians who have con-
Quoted the examinations say that outside
of the ranks of cigarette smokers there
are even fewer reflections than there were
in the days of the civil war.
Among habitaual users of the cigarettes
the reflections are about 80 per cent
DR.. Benjamin King of Philadelphia, who
acted as an examining surgeon during
lS6l-6S in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana, says that the average rejec-
tons during those years did not exceed
10 per cent. He attributes the large in
crease almost entirely 10 the cigarette
habit.
st have been inspecting the papers In
a number of cases under the present re-
cruHing act" said DIR. King, land I OBJ
serve that most of them who failed to
p5ss the medical examination have weak
hearts or lack the vitality necessary TO
make a good soldier.
'I had expected that the percentage Of
reflections would be greater now than in
1861, but l did not dream that it would
be almost three times as great The ex-
arnining physicians with whom / have
talked have generally told me that the
excess of reflections is due to the large
number OF young men applying for enlist
ment who have become victims of the
cigarette habit"

their wedding day until the King officially
greets his. royal spouse.
The strict letter of this law Is not de-
voutly observed throughout all classes OF
Korea. The common people do pretty
much as they please in the matter Tor the
authorities, realizing the antagonism il
would raise, do not prosecute them IL they
marry.
Among the better classes and the nobil-
tg, though, no one thinks Of marrying
TO do 10 means instant loss of caste. The
Korean Four Hundred viii never open It's
doors TO people who have married while
the King was single.
As marriages In Korea are arrangements
IN which personal inclinations never play
any part Il Is not 50 difficult 40 refrain
from marrying. The Korean never falls in
love 1t Is not considered the proper thing
10 do All necessary arrangements are
made by the two families who wish their
children 70 intermarry. The. two people
most interested are never consulted at ALL
Since the murder of the Queen none OF
the members oil good families have mar
ried. But the people have long been inn
patient for the King to marry, so that il
might be permissible for them to follow
his example
over a year ago they began to express
their discomfort openly. The Kings adj
yisers pleaded with him then, and pointed
out 70 him that unless he married serious
consequences might result
The King looked about him for a wife,
and, forgetfuI of his three score years, hit
upon a maiden of noble family not yet l6
years old
His ministers frowned upon his choice
ana used every effort 10 dissuade him.
The King for some time declared that he
would marry the girl despite their advice
10 the contrary, but the ministers finally
succeeded in convincing him that IL would
be folly. For the Koreans would rather
that their King should remain single for
ever than that he should so far forget
time honored customs as to marry a girl
so much his Junior.
The Koreans. like the Chinese and Jap
anese, do not countenance marriages when
there Is a great disparity in the ages.
The sunbeam kisses not the moonbeam
they say.
Although the King was willing 10 give
up the maiden Of his choice lie refused
for a long time to consider any Of the
other damsels that were offered him by
his advisers. OF late the clamorngs OF
the people for the remarrlage of their
King have grown so persistent that he
has yielded TO the opportunities of his
ministers, and has agreed to marry the
lady they have selected for him.
The future Korean Queen IL said TO be
about 30 years old and very handsome. ac-
cording to the oriental style OF beauty.

Cross who left New York with the idea Of
succoring the starving reconcentrados in
Cuba has found an excellent field for their
iabors here In Key West. where there are
nearly 200 Spaniards, mostly fishermen,
prisoners on vessels captured while run
ming the blockade, and without means of
subsistence.
Most of these unfortunate men have
lived on fish since they were captured, and
none Of them have had a chance to obtain
food, as under the law they are not per-
nlitted 10 leave their vessels The naval
officers have no authority TO supply cap
ives with food from the ships IN the har-
Dor, so their lot is far from being envia-
