The Army of the Drum. May 80, 1900,

They are marching TO the drum, can hear the
squadrons come
When the veterans of Vicksburg muster ont
upon parade;
For the old familiar roll summons every sol
dier's soul
From the countless graves of glory where their
hallowed dust is laid,
with his buIlet-riddled flags and his feet in
bloody rags,
Walks the pale young Continental with his
musket at his back;
There are Perry 5 battered tars, with their cut
lasses and scars,
And Bonhomme Richards sailors with the
smoke Of battle black.
They are marching to the drum though with
rust forever dumb
Are the bugles that for Grant and Lee once
played fierce refrain;
But the ranks OF blue and gray have arisen, and
to-day
Side by side keep step together to the well-re-
membered strain.
See the soldiers and marines from the far of
Philippines,
Clad in tattered khaki blouses and with faces
lean and tanned;
Every eye is fixed with pride on the flag for
which they died,
There's wound in every bosom but sword
In every hand.
IT'S the army of the drum, though the Maxim
and the bomb
And the Mausers hum will wake them never
more by field or flood
Not man among them all but would choose
again to fall
For the bright and starry banner made i'm
mortal with their blood.
When the spurs and sabres shine and the col
umns wheel in line,
oh, it thrills Yankees spirit and it fills a
Yankees eyes
For he hears the steady beat OF a yiewless
armys feet
The tramping of the legions that are camping
in the skies.

Our sentimental anti-expansionists
and Tagalo-maniacs unduly exalt the
qualities of the Filipinos. Our sol
diers in the Philippines are better ac-
quainted with the character of their
treacherous foes, and they have just
estimate of them. Their real char
acter is seen in their assuming the
guise of an migo'-friend-a be-
coming sneaking traitor to "bolo"
the soldier. These men who have
had two years experience with them
believe that the best lesson that can
be taught the race is to kill every one
who is caught with a gun or a bolo,
after their armies are broken up. In
this way the Filipino may get some
adequate idea of honor, some appre-
hension Of justice, fundamental
principle Of stable society.

Our Vast Productive Power.
From Gunton's Magazine.

Mr.. Mulhall has undertaken to calculate
the energy or working power of the people
of this country since 1910. He reduces these
things to foot-tons, a foot-ton being power
sufficient to raise one ton one foot in a day,
and in this calculation he finds that in 1910
the energy of the people of the United
States was represented by 17346,oG0 foot
tons daily. or 1920 foot-tons per nhabitant;
in 1860, 30,005, 900 foot-tons, or 1,240 foot
tons per inhabtant, and in 1895. 12S. 100 900
foot-tons, 1850 foot-tons per inhabtant.
This shows that the collective power of our
population has more than trebed since 1850
steam power having multiplied five-fold in
the thirty-fve years of his calculation; the
strength being shown approximately in
horse power Of steam, in 1898. including
fixed engines, locomotives and engines used
on steamboats,. at 16,9+0,000, or 24U horse
power per 1000 of the population. Two
hundred and forty horse power represents
the energy of 1,452 men supplemental to
each 1000. According to Mr.. Mulhall this
energy Is more than double the European
average, so that it may be said that 40, O0o-
0CO of Americans represent as much work
ing power as $50. 000.OO0 of Europeans.

Spanish Names.


In addition to three or four Christian
names (nombres de pila) the Spanish child

father and mother. Our readers have prob
ably noticed that Spanish surnames are
often double, or connected by the particle

not be given at all, although it is de ri
gueur In official documents to mention both
surnames. The author of Don Quixote''

the title page of his immortal book may be

last being his mothers surname. Likewise
the full name of the great dramatist is
Lope de Vega Carpio. the last name be-

The penultfmate surname, therefore, and
not the final, is the important one, and that

AT meeting of the Society for the Study
of Inebriety DIR. Milne Bramwell delivered
a lecture on "Dipsomania and Its Treat
ment by Suggestion
There was, explained DR.. Bramwell, a
difference between dipsomania and other
forms of intemperanee. Many persons who
were mentally and physically strong took
alcoholic drinks on account of the physical
comfort and mental pleasure 1T gave them.
Dipsomaniacs, on the other hand, drank
because they were impelled to do so
against their wills.
Having sited three particular cases which
he had successfully dealt with by means
that, although in many of his cases he had
been thoroughly successful. he had also
had a good many failures, but very few
completely so. Much depended upon the pa
tents willingness to be cured, his suscep-
tibility to hypnotic influence and the oper-
ator's management of his case. The treat
ment of a dipSomaniac ought to be COM
menced during a period of quiescence, and
the aim should be to prevent the next at
tack. The management of the patient IN
the early stages of treatment (before Sug-
gestion has taken effect was also fmpor-

The BOer Pony.

From the Fortnightly Review.
In guerrilla warfare the Boer is helned
by his pony. which is marvelously clever
ana doclle animal. 1t Is unshod, and is
able to climb about the mountains and fol-
low his rider, II he d1smounts and leads 1t.
up to the most inaccessible places. Any
one who has. like the writer, ridden I'D
these mountain paths on a Basuto pony,
Will TESTIFY to Its cleverness and adapta-
bility. The Beers themselves wear veIdt-
schoens. which are fitted for climbing
work and are noseless and soft
Fitted against an agile rider like this 1t is
easy to see how utterly hopeless an Eng
hsh horseman must be- His horse cannot
possibly Follow where the African pony
reads, and will probably soon stumble and
rail- The African pony Is very sure-footed
II Is also wonderfully hardy, and, after do
ing long and weary journey, perhaps of
ntty or sixty miles, carrying a heavy man,
Will content itself with roll and with what
IL can pick up on the veldt itself. An Eng
hsh-pred horse has very often to be fed
on compressed hay and oats, and Is, there
fore, very expensive, besides being at times
absolutely useless. The African pony is
an ideal shooting pony, and on every Boer
homestead there are two or three trained

From the London Chronicle.


A hint is said to have been given to lead
ing members of the Irish aristocracy that
their presence in Dublic next month would
be appreciated. 1t is now a great many
years since Maria Edgeworth wrote her
famous story. The Absentee" which gave
rise. probably. to the conundrum once in
everybody's mouth, What is that which
makes treason reason and Ireland what 1t
is?' The absent ct" But the absentee
ism has continued. Among the grandees
there are but few who. like the Duke of
Abercorn and Lord Dufferin make their
Irish home their chief place of residence.
OF late years the squrearchy have, from
reasons Ineligible enough, migrated large
ly to Dublin and its neighborhood, a cir
cumstance to which is due the great growth
of the suburbs on the kipgstown side,
where Lord Pembroke owns the Belgravia
of the Irish capital. The Irish squire who
can no longer afford to entertain naturally
finds life within easy reach of Dublin more
agreeable than in g. remote country house,
Except in the County Kildare and a few
other favored districts there is now scarce
any hospitality. The jovial social life de-
picted by Charles Lever came to a close
with the establishment of the iucumbered
estates court. The days of an Irish gentle
man are now very dull.
