SWEETHEART.

Sweetheart. ':is al4nost time for leaving,
here's greeting and good-bye;
The deep sea pillows roar toward US and
we hear the sea-bird cry;
And tonight We board the transports lying
ready at the quay.
And I'm filled with dire forebodings and
with thoughts of yesterday.
Yesterdays hold all my treasures, all my
thoughts of home and you;
We have risked loves conspmmation for
suit of army blue.
Drear to-morrows promise battles in far
off alien land;
May God grant your soldier lover to come
back and claim your hand.
Last night in my army blanket lay dream
ing meath the stars,
And I dreamed Of my Homecoming, my re-
turn from foreign wars;
And methought all worn and ragged, trav-
el-stained and battle-torn,
That sought you, little sweetheart, that
sought. and found you gone.
On from town to town 1 wandered, seeking
for you far and near,
Just a tramp, outcast. forsaken-how
hungered for you, dear;
And at last I found you, sweetheart, hid
den in little town,
Where I stopped all sad and weary, too
heartbroken to so on.
All the town was wreathed with flowers,
plucked for decking soldiers graves,
And I sought you, little sweetheart, mid
the tombs of martyred braves;
Sought you, but 1 did not find you, and,
o'ercome with dark despair,
I stumbled to the little chapel, and sank
fanting on the STAIR
Suddenly dainty football smote upon my
listening ear,
And I recognized the echo, sprang erect
and saw you, dear
Both your hands outstretched to greet me,
in your eyes transcendent bliss,
On your lips smile of welcome as they
met my clinging kiss.
With your little hand in mine, dear, with
my arm about your waist,
Forth we wandered thro' the twilight,
heart to heart, and face to face
But twas all dream phantasm; I have
first to face the foe.
And tonight I board tho transport and the
morrow sees me go.
What the future holds know we not-in
the far-off Philippines
When I wrap my blanket round me, you'll
be with me in my Dreams:
And you'll be my inspiration, and I'll wear
the army blue,
So that. when the war is ended, I'll be wor-
thy, dear. Of you.

Ties arc extensively trimmed with
ribbons this year. a novel black satin
design was stitched in white gros grain
silk ribbon, and the effect was indeed
charming. The tongue was slipped
through a silver buckle and was so deep
as to completely cover the instep.
Another pretty tie has a vamp OF
white suede stripped with very narrow
bands of black cloth. The laces are
of ribbon and the back of the shoe is
made of black and white striped felt.
The third design is developed in EN-.
bossed felt with blue figures upon it.
Long strings of blue silk are tied in
full bow, and very fastidious women
have the eyelets in their shoes made OF
solid gold and silver.

FEARFUL FAMINE IN AFRICA
English Missionaries Report Unnre.
cented Scenes and Suffering
Near Zanzibar.

Recent telegraphic accounts printed
in the newspapers of the famine exist
ing along the coast of east Africa, be-
tween Membasa and Zanzibar, have
been painful reading, but numbers of
letters that have been received lately
IN London from missionaries resident
| in the afflicted districts show state of
things that is without example even in
that country of frequent famines. In
general, it is stated, that the mortality
is so great that in many cases the dead
have to remain unburied, and that the
relief work, carried on from the mis-
sion, into which over 1000 natives were
driven by starvation, is quite INSULT
cient to meet the necessities of the
case. One of the mission staff, writ
ing from Megala, the chief town of U.s.
ambara, says:
Things are getting desperate since
the rains began; all outdoor work ha~
been stopped, and 1900 more people
have been left without money or food.
The deaths since the rains have been
truly appalling-12 on Monday, ten on
Tuesday, and yesterday ten before II

was told that not creature is left in

most having died. Those left have come
here or elsewhere in a state of starva-
ton.
LAST night went to Kiumba and
saw ~ dead. An overseer from Kiumba
who came down to get help, on return
ing found the river had risen. He and
his companions tried to cross and carry
relief to the people on the other side,
but he was swept downstream before
the eyes of all and dashed against the
rocks. The body had not been found.
Two men were found lying dead as
we came out of church. They had
dragged themselves there and died. Y
am beginning to wonder how many will
be left soon."
Another member of the missionary
staff, writing from Zanzibar, says:
''Such things have never been wit
messed here before. People are dying
everywhere. Some are so weak that
they cannot escape from the wild
beasts, but are pulled down and eaten.
My husband helped to bury man who

How to Make Ice Cream.

Where cream alone is used in making
Ice cream one-half or one-third of the
quantity used should be scalded, the
sugar dissolved in the scalded portion,
and when cool added to the remaining

obtainable, milk may be used enriched

THE NEGRO IN HOT WEATHER.
he Cares Not for the Rays of the Blaz-
ing Summer Sun.

1t has often been said that the ca
pacity Of the negro race for endur-
ing heat has never been fully tested.
An incident related by a dairyman
living on the outskirts of the city
seems to bear out this assertion. He
was a young negro boy, who looks
afterthe cattle and does chores around
around the place. The only effect
that the heat produces in his case
is a desire to slumber The dairyman
had a young calf in the barnyard, and
as the sun was pouring in on the poor
animal his wife sent "CarIina' out
to turn the calf loose, so that he could
seek a shady spot. After waiting an
hour for his return the housewife
went to the barnyard to investigate.
There she found both boy and calf
curled up in the hot and sitting barn
yard. ! The calf was dead from the
effects of the sun, but the boy was
slumbering peacefully by its side
While a negro can stand any
amount of heat on his head, he loves
to cool his heels. LISA common sight
in the winter to see a negro boy on
a frosty morning with his head bun
died up to keep out the cold, and at
the same time walking unconcern-
edly along the frosty ground in his
bare feet One Of the hottest places
in the city on hot day is at the lum-
Der wharves of the Florida Central &
Peninsular railroad. When the men
knock off for noon they frequently
take a nap with their faces upturned
to the rays of the blazing sun; at the
same time they get their feet under
the shadow Of some friendly lumber
pile.-Jacksonville Times-Union.

SUBMARINE PHOTOGRAPHS.
Snap Shots Taken on a Bright Day IN.
der the Water.

At the recent meeting Of the Acad-
envy of Sciences, NJ. Louis Boutan,
who is connected with the Arago
laboratory at Banyuls, on the sea-
coast, presented a series Of instan-
taneous submarine photographs,
taken with a camera 1SX24 cent?
meters, having an anastigmatic OBJ
jcctiyc and arranged to be operated
under water. These plates have been
obtained on a clear day when the sun
was high in the horizon, and the re-
suits are very good; in several plates
are clearly perceived bands Of
fish which have been taken at dis
lance Of $50 to 2 meters from the
objective, the camera being immersed
to a depth Of three meters. In order
to form a background, a white
screen was let down, before which
bait was thrown in order to attract
the fish into the field of the camera.
This, however, is not indispensable,
as on certain of the plates the fish are
easily distinguished against the
sandy bottom, and a diver placed
against a background Of seaweed, at
a depth of three meters and a distance
Of four meters from the camera, gave
very good image. NJ Boutan esti-
mates that it is possible to take good
instantaneous plates at depth of
seven to eight meters when the
weather is favorable.-Scientific
