WAR TALK is CHEAP.

The Republicans are not having
much success in attempting to per-
suade the people that the late war
and its sequels are the paramount
issues in the campaign which is
being waged this fall. The Phila-
delphia Bulletin, q thorough-going
Republican paper, admits that the
Pennsylvania voters "have been
more concerned on the questions
which DR.. Swallow and his honest
government friends and John
Wanamaker have raised than they
have ever been before when such
questions have been agitated in a
gubernatorial or a senatorial cam
paign."
In New York it is the same way.
Rough Riders flying about over the
country in tally-hos in Roosevelt's
interest have lost their attractive
power as campaign material and
people are asking themselves ques-
tions relating to the government
of home affairs. Out in Iowa, Con-
gresham Clark says in the Keokuk
Gate City, which he edits, that the
people are tired Of "unsubstantial
generalities and pyrotechnics Of
patriotism" The Republicans
have had to call halt OH war talk
and cheap patriotism for the obvi-
GUS reason they can make nothing
out Of it. The st. Louis Republic
states the case pretty well when il
says:
"No amount of falsehood, of Vi
tuperation, Of Boosting, Of turgid
rhetoric on the part Of Republican
organs and stump speakers can
destroy these two facts: The Dem.
ocrats forced the war. The Re.
publicans managed the army. All
the striving Of the party Of false
promises, all its muddying Of the
Z water cannot obscure or alter this
cold, unvarnished truth"

A Music Loving Horse.

Speaking OF the intelligence of the
horse, little incident of a music loving
horse is we'll worth the telling. Within
few blocks of the Gazette Office is one
of the city's fre.engine horses Here
lives horse of extraordinary intelligence
who is extremely fond of music, The
writer visited the fire house the other day
to give the fremen a concert with ma
tonal gramophone, talking and music,
producing machine. This horse is II
hands high. coal black, standing very
erect. with long, bushy tail, and is as
gentle as a kitten. One of Sousa's lively
marches was put on the machine and
PLAYED. Mr. Tom. the black horse de-
scribed, commenced to prance in his
stall and paw at the door. One of the
men brought the horse out and he stood
close up to the horn, with head bent
down and ears dropping forward to catch
every strain of the enhancing music,
which is so loud and distinct on the
gramophone. The horse was delighted
with several choice selections and then
was reluctantly taken back into his stall.
We believe if Tom should hear a gramo-
phone playing on the street, while on a
mad rush to fire, he would be tempted
to stop and listen.-Bn6fai0 Horse Ga

Literary Notes.

The long established weekly electric
magazine, The Living Age, never de-
served its title better than now; for its
presentation of English and Continental
opinion on the various aspects of the
war between the United States and Spain
is fresh, full and widely representative ;
yet 1t does not trench at all on the other
features Of the magazine.
The deep interest IN the condition and
future Of the Philippine islands now felt
throughout the United States will make
welcome to all readers the article on that
subject In the June Magazine number of
The Outlook written by Mr.. Lala, ma
tive Of the Islands, man of education
and the author of a book on the Philip
pines which is to be published very soon.
Illustrations are given of typical and
picturesque scenes In and about Manila.
This article is to be followed IN the
succeeding issue of The Outlook by an

Bingham.

The regular June meeting was held

Natural Foods of Poultry.

Wild fowl consume large quantities Of
seeds, insects, and weeds. The food is
never in fine condition, such as when
ground, and they prepare it in the giz
card by the use of hard. sharp cutting
gravel, as birds have no teeth, Some
birds prefer animal food exclusively but
many kinds consume mostly grain and
seeds. When our domestic fowl are con.
fined they are therefore denied the priv
iege of selecting their foods, and they
must consequently be fed with judgment.
When at liberty, and on a range, they
will use foods most suitable for other
purposes II grain has been plentiful
they will resort to insects and grass, and
if poor in flesh, due to the food having
been more heterogeneous than carbonaceous
they will then "balance" by eating larg-
err portion of grain and seeds. Nature
prompts the fowl TO avoid certain foods
when they have been surfeited with them,
as may be noticed when fowl reject corn
and accept oats returning to corn again,
after a length of time. They also prefer
to prepare their food by grinding it in
their gzzards, and will select whole
grains in preference to ground food.
The necessity of an abundance of sharp
grit is therefore we'll understood and
should be provided at all seasons. II we
would study to meet the demands of the
hens there would be more dollars left in
the till after the bills are paid.

Women Are Starving.

Sister Mary Wilberforce, Red Gross
worker, recently expelled from Havana
and has arrived at Kingston, Jamaica,
says she has known Of cases where
cultured, refined ladies, some being
Americans, shut themselves IN their
houses, scorning to ask aid of the Span
iards, preferrfng to die in silence.
She added:
~ have here list of 120 women and
children, the majority of whom are
Americans, who actually have no food
nor means with which to procure it.
They have nothing to expect but death
from hunger. There are more than
$50 European women and children,
whose names are on my books, to whom
| have occasionally given aid, and who,
/ know, are absolutely without means
of existence.
"To show the condition of the town,
| may use this incident: A few days
before was expelled, band of more
than 200 women, gaunt and efnaciated,
went in procession to the Palace, call
ing on Gen. Blanco to give them food
to temporarily appease their appetites.
A small supply was handed over.
THE soldiers have full ratons for
two months. The Palace has supplies
for three months"
She says that the suffering in Havana
is terrible. The civil population es-
pecially feels the effects of the block

poor are driven to desperation.

The orchard is never injured by fowl,
but on the contrary excellent work is
done by the poultry in destroying insects.
Every one who has an orchard and does
not keep a flock is losing a profit that is
more easily secured than in any other
manner with poultry, as there is no addi-
tional interest on land to add to the cost.
The free range of the orchard, with the
trees for shade, will assist in greater egg
production, and when the hens have
broods of chicks there is no better loca-
ton than to make each hen comfortable in
little run under a tree, where the chicks
can be permitted to have their freedom.
1t is not we'll to have the grass too high
in an orchard, if fowl are to use the
ground. A well-kept orchard is the one
to use, and combination of poultry and
fruit gives the farmer a profit from
the fowl while waiting for his young trees
to come into bearing.-Mirror and Far
mer.

Make Your Own Flag.

1t isn't difficult to make your own flag.
and if any Somerset County house
holder wants one enough to make 1t, a
few directions will be of interest.
There is only one standard of meas
urement for the American flag. The
width of stripe should always be hall
the length in inches of the flags longes,
measurement. Thus a flag - feet long,
would have stripes II inches wide and OF
course have thirteen of them. For a
flag 10 feet long the stripes should be 5
inches wide and the width of the flag
would be IS inches.
In cutting the stripes from the bunting
allow half an inch to each for the seam.
Make all seams felled and run stripes in
the same direction
The field of the flag should be seven
stripes deep and extend two fifths across
the length of the flag.
When the field has been stitched to the
body of the flag. finish the three sides
omting that next to the pole-by a
stout hem. Never use cotton thread in
sewing any part of a flag, as cotton will
break with the stress of the wind and
weather to which a flag is necessarily
subjected. Silk is the proper thing to
use.
There are altogether forty. five stars on
the field, arranged in six rows, beginning
with eight and alternating with seven,
The size of the star should be such that
at its widest measurement one-half oil
its own width will separate it from the
next star. When your pattern star is
cut, mount it on heavy pasteboard and
trim the edges of the pasteboard up to the
paper. Then you may lay five or six
thicknesses of white muslin on a board,
press the pasteboard star on the material,
and pass sharp knife around the edges.
Cut ninety stars altogether. Turn down
the edges and sew them on with an over
stitch. When you have filled one side
of the field with stars, reverse the flag
apd sew the remaining stars on in the
relative positions. Bind the flagstaff end
with stout piece of canvas. II the flag
is over six feet in depth, sew a piece oil
thin rope in the canvas to prevent it from
pulling. Punch three holes in the CAN
vas and insert three grommets. Grom-
NETS are small brass discs that fit into
each other and form rigid metal ring.
Any hard ware dealer keeps them and
will tell you how to fasten them in. The
eyelets formed by the grommets are in
tended for the insertion of the flag hal
yard.

A Worthy Object.

Auburn, Maine, June 10, 1898.
To the churches and people of Maine:
The State of Maine has sent regi.
ment Of her noblest soils to battle for
human liberty and to defend the national
honor Ia the war with Spain. The dan
gers and hardshps of this contest will
be great its centers will be outside the
limits of our own beloved land and
where, besides the enemy and the priva-
lions incident TO war, our boys must
face the conditions which surround the
unacclimated in the tropics, and that
subtle foe, disease.
In order to Tighten their burdens and
to relieve ia some measure their dis
tresses, it is proposed to raise funds to
be expended for such comforts and deli
cacies, not supplied by the General Gov
ernment, as may be necessary for the
sick and wounded men of our regiment.
The change from the inspiring air, the
cool. refreshing springs, and the luxuri-
GUS homes of Maine, to the privations of
army life under a hot southern sun is
very great, and is infinitely intensified in
the distress of the sick and wounded.
We may greatly relieve that distress.
This is case where the gift of "a cup
of cold water only" cannot lose its re-
ward.
The pastor of every church in Maine
is hereby requested to call the attention
of his congregation to these facts, and
TO fix the first Sunday in July as day
on which collection shall be taken for
this fund. The setting apart of this day
as Hospital Sunday" throughout the
entire State will serve as an inspiration
TO our people, and will give them the
privilege of joining at the same hour In
their contributions In aid of the brave
men at the front. Those who are not
reached by the collections in the churches
can remit directly to me any amounts
they may desire to contribute. The
humblest citizen may have part in this
work Of love, for any amount, however
small, will be gladly received, aud all
receipts will be duly acknowledged.
The money received will be forwarded
to, or expended under the direction of
Major Bradbury, Surgeon of the First
Maine Volunteer Infantry, who first sug-
gested the raising Of this fund and who
awaits our generous response. All col
lections and subscriptions will be for
warded to
REV. c. $. CUMMINGS. Chaplain First
Infantry, National Guard, Auburn, Me.
cordially approve the above appeal,
and trust that it may meet hearty
response.
