Upon the transports decks we wind,
Five hundred men and nose; 2,
A cheering weeping crowd behind,
A long long voyage before.
GOOD luck, old chapw Farewell, dear
hearth! Fvk.
''We're of! HurTa, hurra!"
Beneath the bows the rIpples part,
At last we're under way.
And many a young lieutenant signs,
And thinks of yester eve;
And many a private wipes his eyes
Upon a dusty sleeve.
But every heart is brave and true,
In tune with duty's call;
Let home and kindred fade from
view,
Stanch soldiers are we all.
Ger seashore post and mountain fort,
And sand and prairie flowers,
The winds that with the cOlors sport
VIII miss the kiss of ours;
While men who chased Apache Kid,
And fought at Wounded Knee,
Must now recount the deeds they did
For ears across the sea.
We change the oak and pine for palm,
The cactus spike for cane;
And "taps," the soldiers evening
psalm,
The echoes WOO in vain.
But tho mid alien scenes we stand,
An alien sky above,
From here, as from our motherland,
Floats out the flag we love.

panion.

Hay Baths the Latest Fad.

Latest of all bathing fads is the hay
bath. Some one or other in the Tyrol
devised it when he wasn't thinking of
anything else. 1t is a simple process,
consisting merely of being Immersed
in fresh, uncured mountain hay. The
hay must be in burning" condition
that is, not cured. The bath Is taken
under roof, and not in the open air.
The peasants Of the Tyrol, the Etsch-
landers especially, attach great value
to the hay bath, and they consider the
short hay of the mountains to be par
ticularly beneficial.
One of these "cures" is on the top Of
the Schlern, near Voels, at an elevation
of a mile and half. At this place the
baths are free to the villagers, but
others are charged about twenty cents,
American money, week.
To take hay bath one digs hole
in the hay and crawls into 1t, after
having Invested himself of all his
clothing. The covering up process is
done by friend or a regular attend
ant. and only the head is left exposed.
Some one must stay with the patient
during the bath, to give relief, for the
effect of the heat and other influences
is likely to be severe. The heart or
some other organ occasionally is hard
hit during this curing process. When
the patient has perspired enough he is
dug out by the attendant and rubbed
down, for by this time he usually is
too weak to exert himself. though he

The case brought by the government
against n Minnesota maker of metal
trading checks, alleged to be tokens of
the coin of the United States, has been
dismissed by Judge Lochren OF the
District Court. AS previously told,
these checks are given by country
merchants in Minnesota in exchange
for farm produce, and are redeemable
in trade by the merchant issuing them.
Their use Is so general, however, In
some localities, as to largely displace
government coins. 1t was said by the
defendant that the only resemblance
between the checks and government
coin is in their circular form. Being
made of aluminium, they are lighter
than coin, and they differ also from
the latter i'm size, and, of course, In
the lettering they bear. Decisions
have been given hitherto regarding
metal trading checks, hexagonal In
form, but this is the first decision on
the circular checks. The decision
affirms the right of the manufacturer
to make such checks, and Ii Is sup
posed to carry with it an affirmation
of the right of others to use them.

We have often heard of propositions
to use glass for sewer pipes, railroad
ties, and the like, but they have not
been reduced to practice to any ex-
tent. Now, however, glass company
in Pennsylvania is making glass pip
ing for oil and gas pipe lines, sewers,
etc, on practical scale. The glass
pipe does not corrode, it is impervious
to electrolysis in underground conduits
and it is claimed is less likely to leak
than iron pipe. An Ohio company is
now putting in such a pipe line, and

Joseph Chamberlain proposes new

Joseph Chamberlain proposes new
piece of legislation designed to encour-
age the common people in owning
homes for themselves. In England
there are not half as many home
owners as there are In the one state
of Pennsylvania. Houses in cities are
owned by the acre by large landlords.
Mr.. Chamberlain's idea is based on the
recent legislation giving the Irish
farmers opportunities to own their
own land. Under the bill the local
government is to advance to an appli-
cant four-fifths of the purchase money
for n house, he to furnish the other
one-fifth. and the whole cost not to ex-
coed $1,000. The money advanced by
the municipality is to be returned In
yearly installments, the municipality
being virtually mortgage. But In
no case can the authorities use more
than one penny to the pound sterling
of taxable property for their advance
payments. The purchase Of homes
will not be obligatory upon the work.

The story runs that Mr.. Pullman
used to give a gold coin to a lady Of
his family for the name of each Pull
man car, it being her duty to name
them all. Whether or not this is true
we do not know, but all the world
knows the results. They have made us
familiar with the names of Scipio, At
ricanus and Numa Pompilius. We have
learned also the names of Aphrodite
and Astarte. We are told that there
are Pullman dining cars running I'M

this is impressive, but inconyenient.

British Lose Heavily.

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The dispatches re-
ceived from South Africa leave no
doubt that the Beers failed in COM
bined attack in Natal and the British
have achieved brilliant victory, but at
the cost Of a heavy list of killed and
wounded. 1t is believed that only 1000
Beers were in the action. It is said
5000 Beers were near Hattinspruit, but
as already cabled this force is now in
retreat. 1t is almost impossible to over
estimate the Importance of this initial
victory, the result of victory in which
on fairly fought field discipline and
tactical skill have told heavily. After
more than IS years the Beers and the
British have again met, not far from
Laing's Mex and Majuba Hill, with an
entirely different result, and if the de-
feat does not lead to wholesale deser.
tions from the Boer forces in disgust at
the happiness of their leaders it has had
important results. Besides restoring
British prestige it has proved that the
Boer artillery, whether directed by
Germans or not, is practically valueless.
On the other hand it has proved to
the Beers that the British artillery is
equally effective. The report that the
British captured II guns appears to be
incorrect. 1t is hoped from the latest
reports that General Symons' wounds
are not mortal. The command will be
entrusted to General Sir Archibald
Hunter.
| General sympathy is expressed for the
gallant officer, and regret that his serv-
ices are lost to the cause. The editorials
in the morning papers are full Of re-
joicing for the victory.
The general belief is that the Beers
will now confine themselves to guerrilla
| tactics

Topping Cotton.


Experiments for the purpose Of de-
termining as to the effects of topping
have been made at the stations in Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana
and South Carolina. In only one Of
the experiments so made, an Alabama
experiment, "were the results decisively
in favor Of topping" This was for one
year only. For the year next following
"the slight advantage was with the
plants not topped. The Georgia station
in 1890 or 1891 obtained smaller yield
from topped plants than from those,
not topped"
The effects of topping at different
dates We're studied in these expert
ments, and it was found that ''the
earlier the topping the greater was the
injury" At one of the stations, that
of Mississippi, topping as late as Sept.
20 resulted in large shrinlSage in
yield. 1t is in suggestively eau
tionary way, observed that topping
has given contradictory results under
different conditions" Home and
