THE AMERICAN SOLDIER.

.Tis q far, far cry from the minute men
And times Of the bun and blue.
To the days Of the withering Jorgensen.
The hands that hold It true.
IT'S Q far. far cry from Lexington
To the isles Of the China sea.
But ever the same the man and the gun
Ever the same are We.
For the blood Of the sires at Bunker Hill.
Through countless fierce campaigns,
Is az red and eager in.perilwill
In the depths Of the children's veins.
And the heart and the eye support the hand
No matter what odds there be-
Ever the same thy sons. o land.
Ever the same are We.
Not Q Valley Forge. nor wilderness,
Nor hail Of Cuban steep.
Can take one jot Of our fearlessness.
Who daily thy honor keep.
We cary the flag through varying scenes-
From the sign Of the old pine tree
Tothe Starsa and Stripes In the Philippines
Ever the same are we.
And the lad with the fresh. unshadet
mouth
Fights as his fathers fought.
And the man from the north and the mar
from the south
Do as their fathers wrought
And whether from city or farm We come
We answer the call with glee-
We heroes upspring at the beat of tn
drum
Ever the same are we.
Edwin L. Sabin. In Munsey's Magazine.

DAHLGREN's COURAGE.
Ellustratiss sad Interesting lest
dents Related By Veteran
Of His STAG.

After the hunchlng OF thS Oeni8ton
Mt Bath on Monday afternoon. May 20.
Mr.. and Mra. John V. Dahlgren, Of New
York. gave reception and banquet at
the Hotel Phoenix to the members of
the Kennebec Naval Veterans associa-
ton, the Bath iron works officials, and
others. Judge Charles Cowley, OF
Lowell, Mass. who had served as Judge
advocate on Admiral Dahlgren's staff
during the blockade of the southern
ports, paid glowing tribute to the
memory of the admiral.
1.-The incident Of Perry shifting his
flag from one ship to another In the bat
tie of Lake Erie has often been quoted
as cool piece of daring, and 30 II was" :"
said Mr.. Cowley. "But II was o thing
that Admiral Dahlgren did repeatedly
and thought nothing OF. The man for
whom we have named this warship was
one of the most intrepid men who ever
lived. 1 was with him when the Har-
vest Moon was blown up. She was o
Maine-built vessel. designed for duty in
shoal water. When she struck the tor
pedo an immense hole was blown
through her bottom, and she sank in
about two minutes after the contact.
Never shall I forget the perfect cool
ness Of the admiral upon that occasion.
I was standing aft on deck and imme-
diately after the explosion heard
Lieut.. G. II. Rexford excitedly exclaim:
Admiral, we have struck torpedo 4
think It very likely, Mr.. Rexford, said
the admiral. coolly. We got out Of the
situation with our lives, but that we did
was due to the perfect discipline that
the admiral enforced and to his marvel
GUS ability to keep his head under the
most trying experiences"
The speaker referred to the fnct that
Admiral Dahlgren was not only sailor.
but a man Of science Us well. "Some of
his Inventions" said Mr.. Cowley, "have
been superseded by the modern disap-
pearing guns, but many Of his creations
in the department of naval science still
remain Of practical utility. During the
civil war many heavy guns burst, kill
ing and manning hundreds, but think
there has never been recorded the
bursting Of a Dahlgren gun. The Mon
itor that fought the Merrimac was
armed with Dahlgren guns, and had the
executive officer Of the ship earlier in
the fight made up his mind to double
charge his guns, the southern boat
would never have withdrawn. She
would have been sunk then and there.
Lemar, the chronicler Of the south, was
generous enough to say that II was the
Dahlgren gun that put down the re-
bellion."-Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

POINTS ON MARKETING.
Some Hints Which VIII Ala tnc
Housekeeper when Laying
in Supplies.

Fish. to be good, must be fresh. In
buying see that the flesh is hard, the
scales shiny and the eyes bright
otherwise Mr.. Fish has been on earth
too long to be relishable. Fish should
be kept cool until cooked; 1t should be
rinsed carefully, using as little water
as possible. rs much Of 1t destroys Its
delicate favor.
Beware OF canned fruit II the ends
of the cans are bulged out; 1t means
that the fruit has fermented.
Always buy small, hard cabbage
In preference to o large, loose-leaved
onc-it will taste better and there will
be more Of 1t.
In buying beef or mutton. always
choose the piece that looks bright red
when freshly cut. Fresh pork and
veal are nice pink, and good salt pork
Is firm and white.
In buying asparagus, pick out the
punches with long. thin stalks that are
green almost up to the butt of the stalk
they are younger, more tender and
better favored.
II the skin Of fowls peels easily It Is
n sign Of youth. If the spurs Of chick
ems are over one-quarter of an inch long
don't buy them--it indicates old age.
Avoid dark-slkinned potatoes with
thickly-set eyes. The smaller the eye
the better the potato.
To test eggs, place them in strong salt
water. II fresh. they will sink.
Good -four will lump when pressed
in the hands.
The best lemons are full and hard
and have thin skins.--Detroit Free
Press.
