STORIES OF THE FLAG.

When Burnside butted the stone
wall at Fredericksburg, the color bear
er of the Sixty ninth New York fell
mortally wounded. He had just
strength enough to tear the stars and
stripes from the staff and wrap them
about his body under his coat. Then
he propped himself in a sitting pos
ture under tree and awaited death.
It came quickly, for a bullet soon
pierced his heart and the flag that was
over it.
Sergeant Lloyd Of the Sixty third
New York, in the same brigade, cared
for his charge in a similar manner and
died a similar death. So did Sergeant
Hackett of the Forty third New York.
His was the state flag. He kept it
under his uniform during his long
term in Andersonville, land at his death
it was buried with him.
Sergeant w. III. Greene bore the
colors of the Thirty seventh Wiscon-
sin in one of the assaults on Peters
burgh Wounded to death, separated
from his comrades in the fire swept
fields between the lines, with both
legs smashed, he crawled into the I'm
ion lines on his hands and elbows,
dragging the flag with him by his
teeth. He gave the flag back to his
regiment and died.
Charles 7. Vansant carried the col
ors of his regiment in that unfortu
nate affair at Ball's Bluff. When, in
desperate charge, his colonel was
shot, he bore him from the field and
then returned to rescue the flag. Five
times it was captured by the Confed-
crates and each time regained by Van
SAINT in hand to hand struggles At
last he broke away with the flag and
reached the river. His enemies were
at his very heels, but he plunged into
the water, dived to the bottom, placed
the flag there under stone and swan
to the other shore and escaped. At
terward he revisited the spot and
brought the flag up to restore it to
the regiment.

mad of Manila were fired continue usly
during the engagements, Commodore
Dewey did not reply to them and the
battery afterwards hoisted white
flag in token of surrender.
The forts at the entrance of the bay
were dismantled on Wednesday after
they had capitulated. It is said the
American Commodore ordered the
cable to be cut because the Spaniards
refused to permit him to use it pend
ing a complete surrender of the city.
It is said that theSpanish ships did not
get under steam until after the alarm
was given. 1t is said also that the
Spanish commander informed the
Governor General that it was advisa-
bic to surrender in the interest Of hu
mainly as it was impossible to resist
successfully, but that he and his men
were willing enough to fight and die.
Even when the Spanish flagship was
shot away, her commander, though
wounded, refused to leave the bridge
till the ship was burning and sinking,
IL
and her steam pipe burst.
The Petrol chased a gunboat up the
River Pasig and the Spanish captain
came in a boat to negotiate conditions
of surrender. The American captain
replied unconditional surrender or
fight" To this the Spaniard answer
ed: eve are willing to fight. Please
allow us to send for ammunition be-
cause our store is exhausted"
On a proposal to the existing au
thorities to continue temporarily un-
der the American flag, pending the
termination, the Spaniards delayed
their decision and kept wiring to
Madrid The Americans requested
the privilege of using the wire and
when this was refused they cut the
cable.
The Esmeralda, from Hong Kong,
arrived right in the middle of the bat
tie. During the adjournment for
breakfast, an American cruiser was
detached TO meet her, as it was be-
lieved she might be Spaniard. When
it was found that the new arrival was
a British vessel she was warned 10
keep away. The Esmeralda therefore
moved up the bay ten or fifteen miles.
There are still two or three Spanish
gunboats about the PHILIPPINES but no
resistance from them is probable. One
recently captured an American bark
loaded with coal.

Reading aloud is beautiful practice

Reading aloudis beautiful practice
thorities agree that it is a most invig-
Grating exercise. Pers ons who have
a tendency to pulmonary disease
should methodically read aloud at
stated intervals, and even recite or
sing, using due caution as to posture,

HEROES IN BLUE.

Listen! I seem to hear the roar OF
wealth, our own dear state of Penn
sylvania, and the cry is Meade Our
own gallant, knightly, heroic Meade,
with Hancock and Howard and Sick
les and Reynolds and Buford, holds
the lines at Gettysburg with iron
grasp. see the men in gray crash
like a broken wave on Cemetery hill
and fall back defeated. And again I
see, far down narrowy Alpine road
from Winchester, soldier upon his
black horse, like 9 thunderbolt of war,
madly riding to the front, shouting to
his retreating troops, "Face the other
way, boys; face the other way!"-
Philip Sheridan.
And who is this silent soldier that
comes at last across the Rapidan, after
the red hell of war in the wilderness,
saying in the face of gloomy forebod-
ings of disaster by others: eve have
done very well. At half past four in
the morning we move forward?' Who
that participated can forget that for
ward march? Who is this who de-
stroyed all the bridges behind him
but one, with the remark, sIf this
army is defeated, one bridge will be
enough for it?'' Who put the guards
of his wagon train in the line of bat
tie at threatened point, saying, eff
this army is defeated, it won't need
any rations?" Who never calculated
upon defeat unless his army and him
self should be exterminated? Who
took the gallant Army of Northern
Virginia by the throat in that wilder
ness and never released his grasp I'M
til it died at Appomattox? Who is
this but Grant, the man who would
not be denied All, these men who
wore the blue, yes, the sunlight shall
kiss them and the ages shall bless them
while their souls still go marching
along.

Senator William E. Mason always
has been a joker. Even when a school
boy he never let chance pass with
out having his fun at the expense of
some one else.
When he was public school pupil,
the boys knew as much about "crib
bling" as they do now, and it was not h
ing new for them to conceal needed
information on their cuffs or inside
their watches.
One day when Willie Mason was
taking an examination the keen eyed
teacher observed him take out his
watch every minute or two. The ped
agogue grew suspicious. Finally he

manded.
'sAll right, sir,'' was the meek re-
ply.
The teacher opened the front lid.
He looked somewhat sheepish when
he read the single word, Cooled"
But he was a shrewd man. He was
not to be thrown off the scent so cas-
lily. He opened the back lid. Then
he was satisfied. There he read:
'sFooled again."

rally them, with no success. Suddenly
the big color sergeant waved the flag

REPAIRING OF ROADS.
How This Important Work Is Carried
On in Scotland and Other
Foreign Countries.

In q recent address before the Ilior
IN. ~ board of trade, Hon. Rober,
MacKinnon gave an account of what he
had observed abroad, and particularly
in Scotland, in connection with the care
and repair of roads. He said: 81 rode
great many miles over and around the
hills through this exceedingly interest
ing country. Scotland does not begin tc
be as wealthy country as the state Of
New York, but everywhere through this
romantic, hilly country the roads were
a joy to everyone who had the pleasant
experience of travelling over them and
knows how much they add to the ideal
ity and beauty of the country.
"How do they get these results? you
inquire. In the first place, no farmer
is allowed to work on the road. He
spends his time to better advantage
taking care of his farm. lin the next
place, NO dirt is put on the road, but dirt
is taken off the read. In the next place,
not foot of road is built or repaired un.
der irresponsible management, every
mile Of the road being under the control
of an Inspector, or engineer as we would
call him in this country.

GROWING CABBAGE.
1t Will Mature ON Any Good Corn
Land, But Should be Literally
Fertilixed with Manure.

The food value of cabbage is not
g:eat, but it forms an important article
in the markets Of the world, as it is
relished by all people in some of the
forms in which it is used. tits a whole
some vegetable and as basis for
various dishes is found 3, bills of fare
everywhere.
/: is a curious fact that this, the most
easily grown vegetable plant, is less
used in the country that in the towns.
It is probable that large majority of
the farmers of this country do not pro-
duce as many cabbages as could be used
in their own families, and a great many
of them do not pretend to try to supply
themselves, preferring to buy what is
consumed in the family.
Cabbage will mature on any good corn
land, but to make large heads it should
be literally fertilized with fire manure,
which has been worked into the soil be-
fore planting, and it responds quickly to
top dressings after growth has begun.
Late cabbage may be transplanted at
any time before July and make full
crop. No particular care is necessary
in transplanting it, except to have the
soil fine and in good condition. Make a
hole with pointed stick to set the plant
in and set it down to the first leaves,
pressing the soil firmly about the roots.
1t is useless to water it as it will grow
without, and even in the hottest weather
will soon recover and start into growth.
Cultivate as often as possible during the
hot weather and when the cool nights
come it will begin TO make heads. When
the worms appear sprinkle a little Per
sian insect powder over the heads from
a powder gun or an ordinary pepper box
and they will not last long.
If extra heads are DESIRED cover the
soil with an inch of fine manure just be-
fore fall rains may be expected and the
teachings from this will push growth
and make the heads large and solid.-
