WITH DEWEY AT MANILA.
Sailor John Regeth Visiting In the Three
Cities.


John Regeth, sailor who was with
Dewey at Manila, is in the three cities.
having returned from Manila. He was
on the cruiser Baltimore on the day
of the big victory and occupied the
position of trainer at one of her S-inch
guns which poured such destructive
fire into the Spanish vessels.
In telling of the big fight he says
that although they could see nothing
of the effect their guns were having
at the time, the sight after the battle
was over was grand to the Amer
lean sailors. The battle, as he de-
scribes it, began at O'Clock in the
morning of May l and lasted until
10 minutes past o'clock, when they
withdrew for breakfast. At 10 O'Clock
the battle was resumed and lasted
until 2:15 in the afternoon, when all
was over and the Spanish vessels were
burning and beached. MIR. Regeth
says that the Spaniards opened fire on
our vessels before any of our guns
spoke, but Admiral Dewey signalled
his ships to withhold their fire until
they came within closer range. Short
ly before O'Clock four shots were
fired from the Olympia, but the shots
fell short of the mark. Then the
vessels were ordered in closer and
when the battle really began none of
the shots missed the mark. During
the battle several shots struck the Bal
timore, but none were injured and no
perceptible damage was done to the
shin

Apropos of acids, there is an angelic
acid, obtained from that most graceful
of our umbelliferous plants, cultivated
in England in the sixteenth century as
a pot herb and still used as a candied
sweetmeat. From this ''herb angelick,
or root of the Holy Ghost, whose
fragrance was reputed good against poi

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is a habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the VIII ole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.

During the last few years dairylng
on the cheap lands Of the West mas
received unusual stimulation. The In
contiyo was the necessity Of making
money on something besides the grain
crops. the price for which was 20 low
that no margin Of profit remained
Whether the movement toward dairy
Ing will continue with better condi-
lions for the grain raiser remains 10
be seen. Certainly the philosophy OF
the situation would seem TO command
that dairying be continued on tho
cheap lands especially whore the prod
uots are so far from market that the
cost OF transportation is great Great
cost Of carriage demands the manu-
facture Of hlgh-pricod products. that
the relative charge Of getting TO mar
ket may be lessenod Thus. II grain
sells at one cent n pound and butter
for twenty there Is manlfestly more
saving Of expense In sending butter
to market than In sending grain. This
IL factor with which the eastern
dalry man must reckon. Under ordl-
nary conditions the farmer on cheap
land can produce butter nt far less
priced land II may be also that tho
railroads running into the country OF
cheap lands will find II to their In
forests TO encourage dairylng rather
than 10 discourage II. for they will In
tho end make more money out OF their
business II In true. they will lose
on the lessenod volume Of grain sent
TO market. but they will gain ON tho
larger transportation Of goods that
will be purchased by the farmer. and
they will also gain In their passenger
trafIc. II the farmer makes more
money his family can afford to travel
more and will take advantage OF their
ability to do 80. The value OF the
cost than can the farmer on high
lands owned by tho railroads will also
be increased and this will be no small
factor In their prosperity. But IN,
Eastern dalryman need have no feal
OF an immediate Generalization OF Mi
market. for the cheap lands are NJ
poorly supplied with railroad facili
ties that a very large area will no
nnd profitable dairying possible. I
will succeed only along the great mali
lines Of road. by means OF which tn,
butter can easily and quickly be sen
to market by the time the who'll
area Ia opened up to this industry tn
population OF .ne country will so IA
have increased that the demand will
be far beyond our present capacity u
