Tho Brown Earth.

We spurn the dust beneath our feet,
What time we llnger-one brief day:
The stceds Of destiny are fleet;
They whirl us swiftly on our way.
We live, laugh, love. and then we pray:
A church bell tolls its requiem slow.
Brown earth, though scorned by human
clay.
Into thy depths all men must go!
The flower spreads its fragrance sweet
And sings silent song Of May.
Its advent joyfully we greet:
We pluck 1t in our wanton play
Nor reck that once seedlet lay
In thy cold clasp. and even so.
Brown earth, the law we must obey;
Into thy depths all men must go!
The mold of emperors will meet
The dust of Gods unknown array;
A universal winding sheet,
Nor sage nor serf can tell thee nay.
moment DER thy face we stray
Ere fate resolves the dice to throw,
And then. brown earth. the price we
pay:
Into thy depths all men must go!
Sand In the hourglass slip away:
We cannot stem the fateful flow.
Brown earth. we tremble meath thy
sway;
Into thy depths all men must go!

convicts Got Away from stockads at speignsr's Yesterday Evening and are Bsing Pursued.
 They arc Negroes.

Josephine o'Berg of Montgomery, and TWO other negro women convtcts, escaped last night from the stoclxade at speaaners.
 Hounds are on their trail and the au- thoritiss are confident that the escapes win be retaksn.
 A. 8. Gerald, Chief Of Police of Mont gomery, was at once notified of the es- cape and a close watch Is being kept for Josephine o'Berg.
 The names of the other escapes have not been reported authoritatively, but 1t was stated last night that Fat Nary." . well known nasreas in Montgomery police cir- cies. is in company with the o'Berg wo- man.
 The flight is said to have taken place while the convicts were being marched to supper. the escapes eluding the guards at that tima.
 Pursuit was promptly made and it was thought that the women would be cap. tured before morning.
 Josephine o'Berg was sent to speigner's 6 several weeks ago to serve . three years sentence for burglary, having pleaded guilty to that charge during the Novem- Der term of the City Court of Montgom- cry. She made . ful confession of her crime and her testimony against c fellow burglar. Henry Kinnie. caused his con- victfon. s She was caught by ,patroirnen in 0reil Bros. warehouse in male attire some months ago and 1t was for this offense that she was at the stockade. The Berg woman has also figured ex- tensively in Montgomery County civil courts and has been arrested on several other charges in Montgomery and Lowndes County.

TEACH HOW TO LIVE.
Teachers College Has Planned a New
 Department.

New York. To remedy the present gen. eral Ignorance on the laws of health and physical welfare, Teachers College, affil- lated with Columbia has decided to inau- gurate a new department, for the pur- pose of giving instruction in the art of health. The faculty of the college has voted to establish professional courses for the teaching of physical education in el- ementary and secondary schools" The course will be two years and Will give It's graduates a diploma which will cor respond in its particular way 10 the other Columbia degrees.
 The new department of physical edu- cation will afford instruction in psychol- ogy. physiology. child study, hygiene, an atomy, gymnastics the theory and prac- tice of teaching physical education school hygiene the history of physical educa- tion ,and anthropometry. The reasons and purposes of the new department have been briefly outlined by James k. Rus sell, dean of the college
 Hygiene, or the science and art or health" he says, lis one of the most im- portant studies--if not the most important -in the education of any person, and yet how sadly is 1t neglected Our children grow up to manhood and womanhood Tn Ignorance. for the most part of the com monest laws of health, with pernicious habits and tastes in matters pertalnlng to cleanliness, mental and bodily exer- cises, recreation and diet, and lamentable misconceptions of the nature Of the hu- man organism and it's highest functions Our duty is obvious We must see to It that every child in our school has the in etruction best suited to ts years and that our college students are well informed on the subject of personal and school hy- giene.'

AarEnroA AMONG THE NATIONS
Our Position Gives Us t's Best Ac- cess to Foreign Markets.

Dr. Josiah Strong. in January Success.
 Uncle Sam has better business stand than any of his competitors. By far the is to live around the Pacifc ocean. 1t is to be the Mediterrane6n-the midland sea-of the future. At present England has a commercial advantage In the Pa- cific. but the cutting of the isthmian United States. If a British ship should sail from Liverpool for Cape Horn and an American ship should sail from New York for the same point. the latter would have to sail 150 miles farther than the former to reach the Cape, and that means that every port on the western coast of South America, Mexico and North Amer lea Is. by water, nearer to Liverpool than to New York. By sea San Francisco is today 160 miles farther from New York than from Liverpool.
 Suppose that the two ships sail from New York and Liverpool for the Buez advantage of 2,O00 miles over the former. which means that all Asiatic and Indian ports are. by the Huez Canal, 2,000 miles nearer to Liverpool than to New York. But when the Isthmian canal shall be cut New York will have an advantage of about 1000 miles on the average to the ports of North China, from 800 to 2,e00 miles to the principal ports of the Cen tral and Western Pacific and from 27O0 to a.boO miles to the ports of the Eastern Pacific. That is. commercially speaking, the Pacific is now a British ocean. By reason. therefore, of the location of the United States. we shall always have bet ter acces sto the markets of the world than any other people. Not only does our location give us great commercial advantage, but 1t also saves us hundreds of millions of dollars every year by free- ing us from the burden of a great stand ing army such as weil-nigh crushes the life out of every Continental Power of Europe. As The London Spectator says, ours Is "a situation on this planet Vn- paralleled."

Splendid advantages for the carrying on of the new coarse will be afforded by the building to be erected in One Hun- dred and Twent!ath Street. between Am sterdam Avenue and Broadway. This structure will be built through a geuer- ous gift of s2J0000 from an anonymous I atN I't . q eS cation.
 Thomas Denison Wood will be the head or the department He advocates many important new policies, and practical in- novations. Dr. Wood suggests that tf1a students In the Spey sr School, which Is a combination of a social settlement and a public school. be served with a nusrt- tious hot luncheon at very low cost. instead of the unwholesone pastries which they are likely otherwise to have.

HORSE IN A FIELp oF RED TAPE
How the United States Treats One
 of the Simplest of Gases.

How the United States Treats One
 of the Simplest of Cases.
 Washington Corfespondence of The New
 York Tribune.
 Not even DayAi Harum's famous horse stories can compare with the uncompleted Juan Gatan. a native of Isabella prov tnce, P. I. This horse came into the pos- session of the United States Government by a process of confscation. and Gatan appealed to the Colonel of the district of Aparri for reimbursement. A board of survey allowed Gatan'6 claim for $62. .60, and then the trouble began. From Aparri the claim was forwarded to the acting Adjutant-9eneral, who sent 1t to Tugue- sent 1t to cabangan Nuevo for more in- vestigation: thence it went to Tugue- garao. thencs back to the Adju.ant Gen er;tl. who sent it to Echegue for more ih. vesctigation. Still travelling, 1t reached sn oficer of the original conhscating ieg- iment. thence went hack to Echague, thence to Dakupan, thence back to Apar- ri, thence back to Dagupan, and thence to Manila through General Wheaton. who returned 1t. to Dagupan. Once more it found its way to Aparri. to the Adiu- tant-General. and at last started on its long journey to Washington, where Ad- jutant-General Corbin turned it over to Secretary Root. By this time the papers had accumulated twenty-nine indorse- ments, all favorable. and had been tray cling for fourteen months The thirtieth indorsement, made by the Auditor, was unfavorable, and with this 1t came back from the Quartermaster General to the Secretary of War. who sent 1t to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. who referred it to the House Committee on Claims and ordered it to be printed. And now, at last. printed in two lan- suages and illustrated with facsimiles of the marks on the horses hide, the claim awaits action. Meanwhile, poor Juan Gatan in far away CRbangan Nuevo waits for the money due him on his one lean steed Tn time he, or at least his great-grandchildren may get it.
