Diet Of Jap Soldiers.
the New York Times.

FTOH INcW :
In the present campaign the Mikado's
fighting man is carrying a great deal
more food with him than his Russian adj
versary. Against the latter's two days
rations. he carries two cooked rations of
rice In addition to six emergency rations.
These are contained In an aluminium mess
pan, and as the rice has been boiled and
dried in the sun, the entire weight Is
trihine.
1t is commonly supposed that the Japa-
nese soldier lives entirely on rice and
dried fish. but such is not the fact. He
can live and fight well on that spare diet
II necessary. but he Is given meat and
other sustaining foods whenever practi-
cable. as we'll as beer or saki.

There are a comparatively few BUSH
ness men of Birmingham who go to their
homes these days for lunch, said the
proprietor of a large printing house last
night.
TT was only about two years ago when
everybody would go home at lunch hour
but this is certainly not the case now
Business men, since they have taken TO
the habit of lunching down town. Will
tell you that they cannot spare the time
from their offices to go to and 1ro at
the lunch hour. Several years ago these
same business men would think nothing
of going home for lunch and spend an
hour or two there.

THE TIDE RISES, THE TIDE FALLS,

BY H. w. Longfellow.
The tide rises. the tide falls.
The twilight darkens, the curfew calls.
Along the sea sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, and the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and walls.
But the sea the sea in the darkne -
calls;
The little waves, with their soft white
hands.
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls
The morning breaks; the steeds in theis
stalls
Stamp and neigh as the hostler calls;
The day returns. but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore.
And the tide rises. the tide falls

PROGRAMME FOLLOWED
FOR MEMORIAL DAY
Organizations in Line and the Line of March
To-day

The complete programme for the OBJ
servance of Memorial Day to-day, an
nounced last week in the Morning
News, will be followed to the letter.
The Francis S. Barlow Camp, Sons OF
Confederate Veterans, expect to have
at least 100 men in line.
AS the special escort of the Veterans
the Sons have made an extra effort
this year to have a large turnout and
the indications are that their work is
to be crowned with unusual success.
The following is the order in which the
different organizations will form and
their line of march:
Military escort, Battalion of Heavy
Artillery, State Troops, Savannah
Volunteer Guards), preceded by their
band.
-Four carriages, occupied by the Off
GERS of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and the allied associa-
lions or chapters, the orator of the day

the trees of all the foliage and leave
them as bare as they are in mid
winter.
MIR. Peoples says that about the
only two things that will kill OFF the
catterpillars are Paris green and coal
Oil. Paris green, he says, cannot be
put on the fruit trees because it is
liable to poison the fruit and the coal
oil does great damage to the fruit and
the trees too. Mr.. Peoples is having
the insects knocked from the trees and
Killed with the OIL while they are on
the ground. After they have been re-
moved from a tree he has the tree
bandaged with a piece of cloth and
then paints the cloth over with pine
gum. He says the caterpillars can
not pass over the gum.
At number of places in this coun-
ty, Mr.. Peoples says, the farmers are
being troubled by the same kind of
eaterpillars. Mr.. G.. B. Oliver,
farmer on the Ogeechee river, was in
the city yesterday, and reported that
section several miles square in his
section has been cleaned of all the
foliage by the insects and left entire
~ bare. 1t seems that the caterpil-
lars only made their appearance a
week or ten days ago, but from re-
ports are doing a lot of damage 10 the
fruit trees throughout this sec
ton.
