and was ccrriedNov over all the north, and
into, all camps where the Stars and
Stripes foated. It was often ordered
to be sung as the men marched into
action, and more than once its strains
rose on the battlefield to stimulate
courage.
There is stirring illustration Of
how this saved a battle.
During the terrible battle Of the
Wilderness on the 9th of May, 1864, a
brigade of the Ninth army corps, hav.
ing broken the enemy's line by an as
sault, became exposed to a flank at.
tack, and with heavy loss were driven
back in disorder.
They retreated but a few hundred
yards, however, when they reformed
and again confronted the enemy. just
then some, gallant fellow-an unknown
hero-in the Forty-1ifth Pennsylvania
with head filled with sense and q
heart full of courage and song, began
to sing: 81
"We'll rally round the flag, boys,
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry Of freedom"
The refrain was caught up by the
entire regiment, and also by the regi.
ments next in line. The air was filled
with the crackle and smoke of the
burning underbrush; the pitiful cries
of the wounded, the rattle of mus
kerry, and the wild shouts of com

scene; but above all, answering the ex-
allied yell of the enemy, rose supreme
the inspiring chorus:
1.-THE Union forever! Hurrah, boys. hur-
rah!'
Among many incidents connected
with DR.. Roots war songs, the one
which touched him most deeply is re-
lated in his delightful STORY of a
Musical Life"
An Iowa regiment went in one of the
charges during the siege of Vicksburg
500 strong, and came out with terri
BILE loss of more than half their num-
Der. But the remnant of the regiment
left the battlefield waving their torn
and powder-stained flag, singing:
Eyes. We'll rally round the flag, boys"
On the afternoon of July 4, 1896, a
vast multitude of 10000 assembled at
the Coliseum, in Chicago, the occasion
being war song festival for the l.ene-
fit of the George F. Root monument
fund.
1t was great day for the Battle
Cry of Freedom" Chicago's greatest
singers took the solos and 1000 chill
dren sang in the choruses. Mr.. Jules
Lumbard, the white-haired veteran,
who was first to sing that famous bat
tie hymn, IS years before, sang it at
the Coliseum, and every soul was
thrilled by its newborn power.
Luther Latin Mills, that superb ora
tor, delivered the GRAFTON and among
other things said:
1.-THE songs of George F. Root abide
and will remain in the memories and
voices of our people, not only as re-
mnders of the nations heroic strug-
gle for self-preservation, but as con-
slant, inspiring and ducating force in
maintaining and strengthening the
lofty sentiment of American pa t, lot

coming from long line of distin.
guished ancestors, every generation of
whom had stamped the impress of
their personality upon the public life
of their day, with direct progenitors
who had figured as leaders in the In.

the articles Of confederation, and the
declaration Of independence, soldiers
in the war of the revolution, 1912, and
with Mexico, and distinguished states.

copnsels Of the nation; added to this
splendid record as an officer in the
great war of the rebellion-al these
things combined to give the old soldier
pride of family and self and a bear.
ing which, while it may have been at
times q trifle trying to the more dem
ocratic of his neighbors, was admitted
by all to be to q great degree both
natural and legitimate.
Hardly less proud and exclusive than
the old general was his aristocratic
wife, for the Lawrences had ever been
mindful of their position in contract
ing matrimonial alliances and the
bluest blood in the state had been
passed to their children. The posi-
ton of the Lawrences was freely &C.
knowledged by their neighbors and the
community took kind of reflected
pride in them.
Realizing all this the reader will
imagine the shock it was to the old
general and his good wife when his
second son, Will, wrote him from Cuba
that he was about to take unto him
self as wife dark-hued daughter of
that island. 1t had been with the
greatest satisfaction that the old gen.
eral had seen Will start away in the
uniform of a second lieutenant of VOL

son, was in Europe on combined mis-
sion of business and health, both of
which would have been seriously i'm
periled by his immediate return, and
for some weeks the general had fumed
himself nearly sick at the prospect of
an American war in which one of his
immediate family was not represent
ed. He had been proud indeed when
Will, only a lad of 20, had come to him
and announced his determination to
60 to the front, together with the in
formation that he had been elected
second lieutenant in regiment or

How to Take Castor OIL

A simple method of taking castor
oil, according to Medical News, with
out producing any nauseating effects,
is to instruct the patient to wash out
the mouth with water as hot as can
be borne, and then swallow the oil,
and follow this by rinsing out tho
mouth well with hot water. The first
swallow of the water cleanses the
mouth, makes the membranes hot, SO
that the oil does not stick, and con-
scquently slips down easily.

ganizing for the purpose. To be sure
Will was but boy, but he was Law
renee and the old patriot had sent him
forth with tears of mingled pride and
tenderness in his eyes. And Will had
rendered good account of himself;
had been advanced to a first lieuten-
ancy for gallantry On the field and &C.
corded a captaincy in the reorganized
army.
This made the blow SO much the
stronger.
"Shades of Henry Clay" ejacula ted
the general, pounding the unoffending
floor with his gold-headed cane. "a

Mrs. Lawrence, while as greatly
checked and alarmed as the general,
was not quite so drastic. The vision
of her son in a mad house did not an.

household, declined utterly to regard

FAMOUS UNION SONGS.
Some That Aw0ke Patriotism and
Renewed Courage In the Hearts
Of Weary Soldiers.

When President Lincoln issued his
second call for troops in the summer
of 1861 the emergency had come when
the union army needed battle cry
Of freedom, and George +. Root, living
in Chicago, was deeply impressed with
the mighty significance Of the procla-
nation, and one afternoon he caught
the spirit of the hour and there began
to evolve in his mind the sentiment Of
rallying song, says the Philadelphia
Press.
In an outburst of patriotic fervor
there came the words and. music of
THAT soul-stirring and pulse-quicken-
ing battle hymn:
Yes, Wen rally round the flag, boys.
We'll rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
We will rally from the hillside,
We will rally from the plain,
v Shouting the battle cry Of freedom.
CHORUS.
The Union forever! Hurrah, boys, hur-
Down with the traitors. up with the
stars,
While we rally round the flag, boys.
Rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom.
The next evening the famous Lum-
bard brothers-Jules and Frank-the
great singers of the war, were to sing
at meeting to be held in the Chicago
courthouse square. Mr.. Root gave

ascensional power, except in rare
cases, his desire being not to raise
himself very high, but to be able to
move rapidly forward.
The exterior aspect of the machine
presents two large disks, made like
two flattened lamp shades, turning ON
pivots fixed to the extremities of q
horizontal bar, which, at the middle,
is attached to the perpendicular bars
supporting the propeller and rudder,
and also the car, with its motor of II
horse power. The motor acts upon
the propeller (placed in front) and the
two disks. The propeller will make
from ten to Is revolutions per second.
The disks are constructed on the
principle of an American windmill, the
wings being of cloth, triangular in
shape. The disks, which are five me
tiers in diameter, turn in opposite d.
rections at the rate of so revolutions

structed of steel tubes attached to the

in front of him all the levers and ap-
paratuses necessary to controlling the
movements of the propeller and tho
disks.
The actual weight of NJ. Wizards
"aerial auto" is 740 kilogrammes, but
the initial trials, made with a motor
of only two horse power, showed that
the force of the disks in movement pro-
duced, after 80 revolutions, a saving Of
40 kilogrammes.
Summed up, says the inventor, this
aviator presents type of automobile
much faster than the kind that runs
on the ground, for the reason that it
encounters but few obstacles, and, ac-
cordingly, the dangers of collisions are
minimized, and public traffic is in no
degree interrupted.
NJ. Willard has devoted five years to
his invention, which is so nearly per-
fected that he expects to begin his
trials in public within few days. His
first experiments were conducted in
the courtyard of the Hotel de Vile, of
Schaesbeck, near Brussels. He con-
structed the various parts of the ma
chine in the cellar of the Mont de Pete
of Brussels, using candles for lighting.
Recently he established his headquar-
tiers in the big hall of the Pare du Gin
quantenaire, where the final assem-
bling of the machine has been accom-
plished.

secrecy in his work, and the foregoing
description is the first that has been

pressure on the ends, but not many
would credit the results of tests re-
Gently made, which appear to be gen.
uine. Eight ordinary hens eggs were
submitted to pressure applied exter-
nally all over the surface of the shell,
and the breaking pressures varies be-
tween 400 pounds and CTS pounds per
square inch. With the stresses ap-
piled internally to - eggs, these gave
way at pressures varying between 80
pounds and 65 pounds per square
inch. The pressure required to crush
the eggs varied between 40 pounds
and IS pounds. The average thick
ness of the shells was 1871 900 inch.

cerely grateful for the many ways n
which you have contributed to our
comfort and welfare; and which have
greatly encouraged US in the proper
performance of our duties. To many

our work has brought us into close
association, we owe much for your pa
thence and many courtesies extended
US during the years we have spent
under your charge.
Finally, We say farewell to you, fell
low prisoners; you, better than any
one else can appreciate the joy, that
our prospective freedom gives us today,
and from our own experience of that
eagerness and impatient longing that
possesses the hearts of those doing
time to reach the much-coveted goal
that we have at last attained. We, in
return, know how to, and do sympa-
thize with your melancholy regret that
is doubtless mingled with your pleas
ure at the realization of our happiness.
"But soon your turn will come. and
you will be in the same position that,
we are now occupying-when the day
shall break and the shadows fee away,
and the bitter past be hardly mem

made and the lessons it has taught.
And now we say:
farewell, A word that must be and

of liberty, the parting, under whatever
circumstances, with those whom we
have come to esteem, is always fraught
with regret, and there are many among
your number who have lived, and
worked, and passed through long years

conceived a sincere liking and friend

But the greater our regard for one
in this saddening place, the more we
delight to see him go hence, and so our
pleasure today, that our own turn has
come, far outweighs our regret, and
we cordially rejoice that we can bid
our friends farewell.
