SHIPS THAT COME IN.
By Zitella Cooke.

The tide goes out and the tide comes in,
And many a precious argosy
II hears to hands that are waiting long
And eyes that are gazing wistfully-
And many a heart is beating proud.
To greet the gift of the friendly main
And I-shall / stand as yesterday,
To look and long for my ship in vain?
To watch and walt through the weary
day.
To wonder and dream. through star
less night
To scan each sail with an eager eye,
To hope-tilI it passes out of sight.
To bark in fear. to the wind S loud wall
To shrink. in dread. as the wild waves
toss.
To weep-that in quilting grave, at last,
My treasure may lie. wrack and loss!
Yet. blow the wind east. or blow it west.
And let the mad breakers rage and
foam
Far over the seas, somewhere. know.
Some ship is CALAMITY sailing home
Some heart runs DER with exceeding joy
Some hearth is glowing with newfound
And am as glad as glad can be.
And still am l fain to watch the deep,
And still l wander the waye-swept
sand.
With yearning no speech hath power to
tell
With prayer that my ship may come to
land
I trace on the dim horizons line,
And ''Welcome"' | cry to each and all,
:. Though never a single one is mine.

Thursday Matinee and Night.
MURRAY and Mack.

The comedy, "a Night on Broadway"
will occupy attention at the Montgomery
Theatre Thursday matinee and night
and will serve to introduce the two jolly
good fellows, Murray and Mack. and
their merry coterie of 1augh-provokers,
who are heading this way, and are bring
ing with them all the musical hits, witty
catch phrases and clever specialties which
are now town talk wherever they have
appeared The secret of the success of
Murray and Mack, especially in their
latest offering, "A Night on Broadway,
lies in the fact that their performance is
always kept up to date, and. If possible, a
little way beyond. No matter how sue
cessful a season may have been, no soon
er does it close than a strong effort is
at once begun and kept up until the OBJ
ject is accomplished. viz, the gathering
together of a lot of new material, songs,
dances. novelty acts, specialties, etc, and
the clothing of this new material in
bright new dresses, so that the follow
ing season the show may be to all in
tents and purposes a new one. The man
agement have never been satisfied to re-
peat from one season to another, no mat
ter how good the material they put aside
might be- The result naturally is that
the old friends of Murray and Mack go
to see them again and again. knowing
that in every essential the performance
will be new.
They have a big supporting company.

Washington Special to New York Times.
An interesting and valuable paper has
been prepared by Major Lagarde of the
medical corps of the army, showing tho
great benefits of local antiseptic treat
ment of wounds to prevent blood poison
ing as demonstrated in recent wars, in
GLIDING the Spanish war and the insur-
rection in the Philippines. as compar I'd
with the local treatment oG@vounds with
out antiseptics, which obtained generally
throughout the civilized world during and
prior to the civil war.
During the civil war the mortality from
large caliDre wounds was 53.7 per cent.
and the recovery was 463 per cent. The
antiseptc treatment was first intro
duced On a large scale during the Russo
Turkish war, 1878. During that conflict
the mortality from large calibre wounds
was Ill per cent and the recovery $50
per cent. The records of the surgeon
generals Office since 1898 show that with
the antiscptic treatment the mortality
was per cent, and the recovery 81 per
cent. Regarding the Santiago campaign
of 1898 when arms of reduced caiibre
were used, the antisepuc further devel-
oped, the record shows a clean score Of
100 per cent. recovery.

THEY DRINK SEA WATER
Cockatoos and Wild Pigeons Do Not
Seem to Mind It.
Chambers Journal.

Chambers Journal.
In 1881, while resident on Gazelle Pen
insula, the northern portion of the mag
nificent Island OF New Britain, in the
South Pacific, l had many opportunities
of witnessing both cockatoos and wild
pigeons drinking salt water. l was sta
toned at a place called Kabaira, the then
"farthest out" trading station on the
whole island; and as 1 had but little
work to do. 1 had plenty Of time to

of several varieties, all of beautiful
plumage were plentiful; and great flocks
of white cOckatoos frequented the rolling.
grassy downs which lay between my
home and the German head station ir
Blanche Bay. twenty miles distant, while
the heavy frost of the lttoral was the
haunt of thousands of pigeons. These
pigeons though not so large as the Sa-
moan or eastern Polynesian bird. formed
an agreeable change of diet for us white
traders, and by walking about fifty yards
from ones door half a dozen or more
could be shot in as many minutes.
My nearest neighbor was a German,
and one day whea we were walking
along the beach toward his station
noticed some hundreds of pigeons fly
down from the forests. settle on the mar
gin of the water and drink with apparent
enjoyment. The harbor at this spot be-
ing almost land-locked and without the
faintest ripple, the birds were enabled to
drink without wetting their plumage. My
neighbor, who had lived many years in
New Britain, told me that this drinking
of sea water was common to both cock
atoos and pigeons alike. and that on some
occasions the beaches would be lined with
them, the cockatoos not only drinking.
but bathing, and apparently enjoying
themselves greatly. During the next six
months, especially when the weather was
calm and rainy. l frequently noticed
pigeons and cocka toos come to the salt
water to drink.
At first I thought that. as fresh wat r
in many places bubbled mp through the
saul at low tide, the birds were not reilly
drinking the sea water. but by watching
closely 7 distinctly saw them walk across
these tiny runrcls without making any

There are about / 200 miles of roadbed
now treated with oil in the United Stat IS
by an especially designed car so con-
structed as to protect the rails from the
oil. The cost is $40 per mile for the first
application and S17 after that. True. the
consideration of this oil treatment is the
quieting of the dust. but besides this the
petroleum binds the ballast into Pc

as it gives the entire roadbed a waite, =

sion of water and thus materially ~

"Captain links of the Horse Marines,
the popular New York success, will be
seen at the theatre Wednesday night for
the first time. The play has been called
the best produced by that prolific play
wright, Clyde Fitch, and its appearance
here has been anticipated with no little
pleasure. In the principal role, that OF
Madame Tretoni, Miss Elizabeth Kenne-

There is an interesting paper in the Critic

the region in Nova Scotia between the Annap-
oils and CORVALLIS rivers, wherein is located
Grand Pre-, the village of the Evangeline of
Longfellow's poem, from which the thrifty
French peasantry were torn by the British in
1865 and shipped off to New England and the
far south. While the general aspect of the
Acadian land has not changed, there is not
much to remind one Of Longfellow's quaint
people, Mrs. Mayer declaring that the, seeking
out of the scene Of Longfellow's poem is to
court disillusion. She criticizes Longfellow
very severely for talking Of forest prime
