How the boys pulled, and how that
flag few to the top of the pole, every
bare head turned al0ft and every eye
straining after it! Then grandly it
f1oated; hands relaxed and faces
beamed.
The names of the boys were COM
municated to the Admiral at once on
his return, and that evening he and
Mrs. Beardslee gave them reception.
There were many good things to eat
and many fine words were spoken,
both lasting memories for the boys.
i Day after day, according to the Ad-
mirars orders, when the flag on the

was the flag on the pole beside the
cottage raised and lowered by the
boys, caps off.-Caroline Henderson

Just to do something extra and out
Of the ordinary before he departs for
Europe, Mr.. j. Marsden, the Agricul-
tural Commissioner, will develop a sea
toad, for the use of certain island dis
tricts, where standing fresh water is
scarce. Mr.. Marsden is a firm believer
in evolution, and will follow lines sug-
gested by Darwin. Already toads have
been produced in brackish waters. This
tells the Commissioner that he cannot
fail. For the next culture he will make
the water still more salty, and at about
the fourth or fifth breeding will try
pure sea water He is confident that
the plan will work out correctly. In
the undertaking Mr.. Marsden has re-
ceived much encouragement from Prof
Koebele, the Government entomologist
and from other friends.

gFgS U GUARD THE FLAG.


Guard the flag-forever guard 3$
Freedoms universal sign;
Let its blue field, thicklv starred,
Ever yet more brightly shine.
Guard it-for our heroes dust
Speaks from days of far lang syne;
Guard it-'twas their dying trust!
Round it let the laurels twine.
BY the blood those heroes shed,
AS their hands still grasped it's shaft;
By the green graves of our dead,
BY the speaking cenotaph,
BY the hearts that it hath borne
Dauntless through the fiercest fight;
By its folds, all SCARED and torn,
Yet in triumph ever bright:
Guard the starry y-spangled sign
OF our speech, our faith, our homeJ
Whether Ger the oceans brine,
Or upon the gilded dome;
Whereso'er in triple hues
To the winds that flag is flung, Gil
Let it tell nations hopes %f
AS with clarion's silver tongue.
Guard the flag through storm and night,
AS in this sweet age of peace;
Let it shine forever bright,
And it's trlumphs never cease:
Guard the flag through shot and shell.
Through the battles widest surge;
Guard it and its glories tell
To the earth's remotest verge.
Guard the flag-Columbia's pride
Which shall still unconquered be,
AS our navies proudly ride
AT their will in every sea;
AS we go from strength to strength,
God with us. we fear no foe;
Let our starry banner wave
Where the rudest tempests blow!

The great principle of our republi-
can institutions cannot be propagated
by the sword. This can be done by
moral force and not physical. If we
desire the political regeneration of op-
pressed nations, we must show them
the simplicity, the grandeur, and the
freedom of our own government. We
must recommend it to the intelligence
and virtue of other nations by its ele-
vated and enlightened action, its pur-
lty, its justice, and the protection it
Affords to all its citizens, and the lib
srty they enjoy. And If in this re-
spect, we shall be faithful to the
high bequests of our fathers, to our
selves, and to posterity, we shall do
more to liberate other governments
and emancipate their subjects than
could be accomplished by millions of
bayonets.-lJohn Mclean.

Beneath his countrys starry flag,
Where thousands stood before,
Prepared to fight till life shall flag
And darkness gathers o'er.
CARRIED in his uniform of blue,
Ready to answer "Here!"
A man and soldier through and through
He stands, the volunteer.
'Tis not the joy of clashing arms
That calls him to the fray,
'Tis not the love of wars alarms
That bids him haste away;
For him there's pain and grief and woe
A wife-a mothers tear,
But loud his duty calls, and 10!
He comes, the volunteer.
o, mighty nation, proud and great,
! OF strength he is tower!
Behold him, warlike and elate,
In this, your darkest hour.
For you he lives, for your he'll die,
And sell his life blood dear,
And glory's gates will ope on high
To greet the volunteer.

A WAR ENCYCLOPEDIA.
A Few Important Things Worth Knowing
at This Time.

at This Time.
Privateering is nothing more or less
than legalized piracy, and is now treat
ed as such by most civilized nations.
The crews Of such vessels were for
merly allowed to draw lots, and the un-
lucky ones had either to walk the
plank" or hang from the yardarm.
Those who escaped this fate were
forced to enter the service of the
enemy.
1t has become such dangerous busi
ness in these days of steam and cleo
tricity that few men could now be
found to take the risks.
l. War Is an expensive luxury. The
cost per day of maintaining in COM
mission an ordinary warship is $1,500.
The present outlay for the United
States Navy is more than $4,000 day.
On a peace footing it cost the Gov
ernment 1891, ,O65.6O to maintain the
cruiser New York during 1897.
single charge of ammunition for
some of the great guns costs as much
as $500. Such a shot may do a million
dollars worth of damage to the adver-
sary against whom it is sent.
The custom still prevalent of bel
ligerents in war Selling the merchant
vessels of the enemy on the high seas
is survival of the old custom of prey
ing on all private property found in an
enemys country.
What are called the rules of civilized
warfare forbid an army to molest nom
combatants, or to interfere with the
homes, persons or property of peaceful
citizens.
A great writer on the laws of nations
begins his monumental work on In
ternational Law" with the frank ad-
mission: There is no international
law"
The reason there is no such law that
is binding on the nations is found in
the fact that only the signers are bound
by any international agreement.
Any of these may retire whenever
such agreement seems to clash with
her interests.
There is no power except the sword
to hold them.
American college men always come
to the front in time of war.
The students of the old Kings Col
lege in New York, the foundation of
the Columbia University of to-day,
were among the first patriots to offer
their services to the popular cause
when the Revolution broke out.
1t was the same with the college
men, North and South, when the war
Of secession came. 1t is the same
to-day when foreign enemy has to be
dealt with.
President Mckinley, desiring that
the present war shall be carried on in
civilized manner, has proclaimed the
following rules for its conduct:
The neutral flag covers enemy's
goods, with the exception of contra
band of war.
Neutral goods not contraband of war
are not liable to confiscation under the
enemy's flag.
Blockades in order to be binding
must be effective.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
That Famous Old Document and What II
Contains.

hht Famous olu DOCument anu w nat IL
Contains.
The Declaration is divided into two
parts: First, the statement of certain
general principles of the rights of men
and peoples, and, second, an attack
on George III. as n tyrant, setting
forth in series Of propositions the
wrongs done by him to the Americans
which justified them in rebellion.
Criticism has been directed first
against the attack on the king, then
to the originality of the doctrines
enunciated, then against the statement
of the rights of man, Jefferson's self
evident truths" and finally against
the style. The last criticism is easily
disposed of. Year after year, for
more than n century, the Declara-
tion of Independence has been solemn
ly read in every city, town and ham,
let in the United States to thousands
of Americans, who have heard 1t over
and over again, and who listen to it
In reverent silence and rejoice that it
is theirs to read. II it had been badly
written, the most robust patriotism
would be incapable of this habit
False rhetoric or turgid sentences
would have been their own death war
rant and the pervading American
sense of'humor would have seen to it's
execution. The mere fact that Jeffer-
sons words have stood successfully
this endless repetition is infallible
proof that the Declaration has the
true and high literary qualities which
alone could have preserved through
such trials its impressiveness and it's
SAVIOR To those who will study the
Declaration carefully from the liter
ary side, it is soon apparent that the
English is fine, the tone noble and
dignified, and the style strong, clear
and imposing.

Mans Head and womnn's Heart.

at is impossible for mans head to
solve the difficult problems of the
present day." remarked Miss Rose
Scott at a recent meeting of the Wo-
mems Suffrage League in Sydney; "but
when," she added, mans head is join
ed to woman's heart, there Is some
hope" This was used as an argument
In favor of granting to women the
right to vote. Miss Scott went on to
say that women did not want to work
and walk on alone. They wanted to
be side by side with the men of the
day, and assist them in working out
satisfactory solutions to the great
problems which affected the communi-
ty at large.

From the Philadelphia City and state.
We are going to give little wrinkle
to our strong war friends which is valu-
able enough to tempt them to forgive
us all for our peace heterodoXy and to
make our peace friends wonder if we
have deceived them. 1t is an invalu-
able recipe for bringing the war
department up to the highest state of
efficiency, scraping from its sides and
bottom all the political barnacles which
make it sail so slowly in the rough
waters of war. 1t is a specilic-this tip
that we will give quite gratuitously-a
sure cure for all those symptoms of bad
management that have been effectively
aired in Mr.. Pouletney Biglow's letters
to the New York Times and from other
sources. There are evidences which
show us indisputably that the same
little WOODWORK of personal favoritiSm
and partisan scfishneSs which has per-
forated the timbers Of Spanish power
through many centuries is also hard at
work making meal on our young mill
tary service. If our hint is agreed upon
and carried into practice speedily, we
may even yet be thanked for aiding the
war TO quick conclusion.
But we must keep our readers no
longer in suspense, nor can the country
afford at such a crisis as this the loss of
precious time, so here it is: Secure, by
petition to the president, the retirement
nf f,apnral Alfrar Of
providing at the same time for the re-
call of Theodore Roosevelt from service
in the field so that he may take the
vacant place. Those who know any
thing of what goes on behind the scenes
know the inestimable value of Mr. Roose-
velt's services to the navy department,
and that if it had not been for his extra
ordinary energy and ability the navy
would not have been in the splendid
condition of readiness that it is today.
What Mr.. Long and Mr.. Roosevelt have
done for the navy, Mr.. Roosevelt would
do for the army if he were in position
of authority. He is genius for action
which General Alger is not. lie is
young, but older than Pitt, Wolfe and
Napoleon when they had become fam
Gus and had done noble work. Mr..
Roosevelt is a throughgoing civil service
reformer; he knows well the utter in
compatibility of the spoils system with
an efficient service. He knows that to
secure the best results in the army, as
in any other branch of the public
service, there must be one invariable
rnle-the merit rule; and he could be
trusted to apply that rule unsparingly,
The protest of the saloon men of town,
against paying brewers the whole of the
war tax, thereby allowing the latter to
60 scot free of the governments levy,
should cause revival of the movement
to erect brewery in the town. There
is no reason why an Investment of this
kind would not pay. A local manu-
facturer could surely sell as low as out
side brewers, and as long as Freeland
consumes enough to keep big plant
going steadily it should manufature the
beverage itself. Cooperation on the
part of the saloon men in such a move
mont would result in giving them cheaper
beor and the money invested would give
good returns.
