The Song of the ,Iacbete.

No rapier Of a cruel lord,
Who tyrannizes toll;
No jeweled saber nor the sword
Which stains with blood our soil.
Our weapon is that humble blade
Which hews the peasants way;
Which cuts the eanebrake in the glade
And mows the fragrant hay
Which digs the tubers from the earth
And shellfish from the shore,
Which On the hearth has proved its worth,
Or on the woodshed floor.
But when the freeman in his wrath
The poor machete wields,
II cuts 70 victory a path
Through bloody battlehelds.
Il teaches tyrants that the yoke,
However strongly made,
Win break beneath the battle stroke
OF freedoms poorest blade

TROOPS AT CAMP MEADE.
Removal of the sick-weather Grow
ing Cool.

Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, Sept.
25.-Captain Joseph K. Weaver of Nor
ristown was relieved today as surgeon
in-chief of the Second division hospital
and assigned as acting surgeon of the
division. This change was made neceS-
sary by the resignation of Major De-
vine, who returns to Boston to resume
his private practice.
Major Charles c. Wiley of Pittsburg
will have charge of the hospital until
the general courtmartial disposes OF
the case of Major Charles r. Parke OF
Scranton. Parke expects to be acquit-
ted and returned to his former position
at the hospital.
Private George Morgan, First Mary
land, died last night at the Red Cross
hospital of typhoid fever. Corporal
August F. Ross, company II, Second
regiment engineer corps, also sue
cumbed to typhoid fever.
To prevent the spread of typhoid
fever in camp, the Twenty-third New
York regiment, which is afflicted with
the disease. will be isolated from camp
Black Chief Surgeon Girard says the
fever had its incipiency in the New
York camp and the sick will be sent
to Philadelphia hospitals.
The Red Cross society will send
hospital from Philadelphia tomorrow to
take 100 patients. They will be car
ried to the Woman's Homeopathic and
Woman's hospital. The Reading hos
pital will send a train also for 90 pa
tients.
Major General Graham issued an or
der today, consolidating the tifteenth
Pennsylvania and Ninth Ohio battalion,
in command of Colonel Kreps. The
new organization will take the place of
the First Delaware in the First brigade
of the First division, and will probably
be ordered to Cuba for garrison duty.
The battalion is made up entirely OF
colored troops, in command of Major
Young. a graduate of West Point.
Eight companies of the First Della
ware have received orders to move to-
morrow on the grounds vacated by the
Twelfth Pennsylvania, and as soon as
their muster-out rolls have been pre-
pared they will be forwarded to their
home station for a so days furlough,
at the expiration of which they will be
retired from duty.
Oil stoves have been placed in both
divi, on hospitals and the flies between
the tents removed to protect the pa
tientS and nurses from the weather.
The nights in camp are very cool, and
many of the officers are using oil stoves
to keep warm.
General Graham expects to begin
practice marches soon by regiments.
They will march to rendezvous within
q radius of ten miles of camp. and will
take with them baggage and water
wagons and ambulances.
The health of the corps, with the eX-
ception of New York regiments, is
excellent, and unless there is a change
the troops will stay here until cold
weather. The prospects are that the
First division will be the first ordered
south to prepare for duty in the West
Indies and the Philippines.

Much amusement was caused by the
action of the hotel proprietor. who. in
tending to pay a graceful compliment
to his guests, raised the American and
Spanish flags side by side. The COM
bination excited curious comments
among the thousands of passers-by.

The Story of the stickIebacks.

Dear to the heart OF all juvenile
shermen is the three spined stickle-
back. This little fish is held in great
repute by all naturalists on account
of his unfishlike habit of building a
nest and watching over the young
fishes.
They are a very pugnacious race,
the sticklebacks, dearly loving a fight,
and should they be unable to pick a
quarrel with some other members of
the aquatic world they get up battle
among themselves.
When about to build nest, the
male fish carries in his mouth bits of
weed and plant stems to the spot
where he intends to make his home.
He tb n proceeds to cement the pieces
of weed together by means of a mucus
excreted from his mouth OF body.
The floor of the nest is made first,
and then the sides and top are con-
structed. The nest completed, Mr.
Stickleback, who has now very hand
some appearance, sallies forth in search
of wife. The lady of his hearts de-
sire found, Mr.. Stickleback, by dint
of much coaxing and not q little
chasing, induces her to enter the nest
Here she deposits her eggs and de-
camps, leaving her unhappy husband
to watch over the eggs and, when
Matched, bring up the young stickle-
backs.
This he does most conscientiously,
mounting guard over the little nest
containing the bright yellow colored
eggs, attacking and driving away all
would be intruders. Trenton IN. J.)

Where Fi,h Spend the Winter.

James B. Church, of Tiverton
Rhode Island, a recognized authority
on fish and their habits, thus writes:
Fish are, except the birds, the best
pilots in the world Either the birds
or fish know more when asleep about
plotting than a man pilot does when
awake. Now, as to the habits of fish.
They come on the coast in the spring,
when the migratory instinct starts
them out of their winters sleep. In
winter they are in a dormant state,
like the bear, skunk and woodchuck.
The old theory that fish migrated
south is all wrong. Fish simply leave
the coast and go off shore on the
northern edge Of the gulf stream, get
into water OF the right temperature
and go into winter quarters. Before
the time comes for them to start on
their annual pilgrimage for their win
ter quarters they have taken on a
good coat of fat. 1t is under their
skin, and their stomach is lined with
it, and it is also all through their
bodies when they arrive at the spot
that they have selected for their win
ter home. Then there grows over
their eyes a white film, and their vent
closes, and so they remain until the
time comes for them to start for their
summer home.

Down by the bars through which
the cows passed into the sunny pas
ture ON the other side of the fence,
Jimmy loved to sit where he could
watch Joe, the hired man, drive the
COWS to and from the barn.
A little ways from the bars was
tall post, part of this fence, and here
Jimmy would perch for hours at a
time, even when Joe and the cows
were not near, and he watched the
little fishes in the tiny brook which,
at this spot, stole under the fence.
When any of his friends came to his
house and asked for him, bis mother
would always say:
ooh, you'll find him down by the
fence-post at the edge of the pasture. "
So the boys began to call him "Fence
Post Jimmy" but he did not care in
the least
Now there were many things he saw
there to delight him. First of all, the
fishes. One day while watching them
he found that there were other living
creatures in the water, and he made a
list of them, so he could tell his grand.
pa, for old Mr.. Anderson knew many
fine stories about the things Jimmy
saw, and could give each creature its
right name when the boy had described
it to him. As grandpa was too feeble
to walk down to this place Jimmy kept
his eyes and ears open that he might
carefully tell what he saw and heard.
Many discoveries were made in one

Jimmy was able to watch from the
time when the jelly-like eggs hatched
into polliwogs up to the time when
Mr.. Frog hopped up on a stone with
his brand-new legs and sounded his
first croak.
Then there were the little lizards
and caddisworms, crabs hiding under
stones, snails carrying their houses
along in the mud, water-spiders, pin
fish and funny squirming bugs and
waterbeetles.
Dragonhies and butterflies, bees
and birds flew about. FepcePost
tower and mud-wasp showed Jimmy
how she made her house. Right be-
fore his eyes she went to the edge of
the water, gathered the mud, and to
his surprise began building her home
on the under side of a large stone not
far away.
Brown, fuzzy caterpillars crawled
along the rails, and bright-colored

of the post, closed the door and went
to sleep for its long nap.
Other sights of this sort Jimmy saw,
and soon became we'll acquainted with
these new friends, from the little ants
and spiders on the fence to the big
toad that lived in the grass and came
out sometimes to catch flies.
Thus Jimmy amused himself. He
was never lonely when he had no one
to play with, for here he had so many
new friends. He learned to be gentle
with all dumb creatures, and the last
time heard from him he had taken
some of the boy into his secret, and
was giving them lessons in all he had
learned from his Fence-Post tower.-

trembling with that deep anxiety which
only mother can feel, inquired
''What is the matter? What has
