More Americans in the Navy.

1t is both significant and encouraging
that the enlisted force of the navy is
coming more and more largely from
the great body Of native born Amer
lean. citizens. In 1890 only about so
percent of the enlisted men in the
navy were natives of the United
States. but in 1908 the proportion Of
natives had risen to more than 80
percent, and the chances are that the
curren fiscal year will see an advance
in excess of 95 percent. These figures
not only afford a sufficient answer
to the stupid assertion sometimes
heard in certain European quarters,
that the enlisted force of the United
States navy is an incongruous assem-
blage of aliens, but they show that
it is perhaps more largely made up
of natives of the nation it represents
than is to be found in any other navy
in the world. Another suggestive fact
is that most of our naval recruits
nowadays come from the inland states
and on this point a navy officer is
quoted by the Baltimore Sun as say
ing: I'VE are getting the best men of
the navy from the farms of Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. We are
training them ourselves and don't need
to take foreigners, as we did ten years
ago when we had no men trained
for the sea in our land. Army and

YOUNG Old People.

To retain the spirit of youth while
age weakens the body is splendid

hair may be whitened, their faces
wrinkled and their shoulders bent, but
in heart they are young. If their
strength is labor and sorrow" their
lively interest in the things that con-
Germ those of younger generations
gives no Indication of it. Their ten

of the past but they live in the pres.

NEW WAYS AT WEDDINGS.
Green in a Bridal Gown-A Lord
Drives His DAUGHTERS Carriage.

~''NSS THO 0QuSllCi SdiIldNCs
By marrying in May and introduc-
ing green into her bridal gown Miss
Ida Drummond set the seasons fash
ion for novelties at weddings. The
idea caught on.
Miss Agnes Blyth followed, sub
shutting trails of flowers which fell
from the markers Of her ivory pray
erbook for the conventional bridal
bouquet.
Lord Acton's bride not only made
her bridesmaids precede her, but pro-
vided them with seats during the
ceremony.
Lord Galway drove his daughter to
church in the family coach-and-four,
while Lady Palmer introduced the
most novel mode of holding her
daughters wedding reception several
days before the wedding took place.
If the craze for novelties in we'd
dings continues we may yet see the
regulation white gown laid aside and
brides led to the altar in all the colors
OF the rainbow.
Bridegroom's gifts have also struck
a note of novelty this year. Mr.. Ber-
tram Broke presented enamelled neck
laces made by his mother, the Rance
OF Sarawak. to the children who at
tended his bride
Sir Henry Bedingfeld gave brooches
in the form Of falcon and fetter-loclI
the badge of his family ever since
the Wars of the Roses.
Lieut.. Charles Mason, Of H. M. S.
Jupiter, WHO married Lord and Lady
Robertson's daughter, gave his brides
maids brooches in the form of an
eagle-the badge of his ship.
But perhaps the most novel of all
bridegrooms' gifts were the sprays
of jewels set in the form of violets
given years ago by the Earl of Mar
and Kellie when he married Lady
Violet Ashley.-London Opinion.

Another Scholastic Event.

The closing exercises of st. Michael s
Parochial school will take place in the
Frostburs Opera House Thursday even
ing, June 30.
1t can be taken as an assured fact that
all who attend these exercises will pass
a most pleasant evening.
The good Sisters have been untiring
in effort to advance their pupils, and the
latter have bravely responded to the ill.,
spiration thus communicated, and the
results are correspondingly satisfactory
to those i'll position to measure them.
Hence, it is for the qualification and
enjoyment of parents, relatives and
friends of the little ones that on the
evening named the latter will appear
with program of more than ordinary
interest before an audience which, il
is hoped, will be so large that for few
ut least there will be "standing-r room

Joan of Arc.
Twas in troubled days when France la bell,
Bowed meath the scourge of war;
Brave men fought on the battlefield
And women prayed afar.
Away from the noise of the city,
Where the breeZcS whisper low,-
Thro, the wooded hills and valleys
And the mountain streamlets flow =
Where its glorious hymn fair nature
Sings eyer to God above,
Stands the little village Domr envy,
Guarded by centuries love.
The grass is green in the meadows
Where the white tlocks nibbling stray,
And sweetly in leafy shadows
The birds chant all the day.
And, behold! A maiden standeth-
Her eyes upcast to Heaven,
Where an Angel clad in armOr
Gods word to her hath given.
Now she kneels there in the meadow
Like a pure, spotless dove;
Her youthful heart is throbbing
In an ecstasy of love.
Meek as the little violet
Hid meath the messy sod,
Dear as the saintlest spirit
Joan of Arc to God.
List to the voice prophetic
France shall be saved by thee"
And the modest maid replieth-
Gods will be done i'll me-
Across the distant hill she speeds
With but a single thought
To do His will without fear
All else to her is naught.
Her country forth to victory
She gloriously doth lead;
And peace and JOY now reign in France
Through her Heaven-inspired deed.
And now her work of love is DER,
Fierce flames around her rise;
But endless life with Christ her Spouse
Repays her sacrifice.

NOTES
Owing to fiuke of the Homecoming
team the game scheduled for Wednes-
day and Saturday of this week We're
called off and Instead Homecoming was
then to play two games with the Broad
top pa club. This team failed to
materialize and Homecoming fans" and
"rooters" We're disappointed.
One week ago manager Dillon wrote
to manager Metzner, of Cumberland,
for information concerning return
game here. Up to date no answer has
been received and it is inferred here
that the pleasant atfable manager, is at
tending the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position at st. Louis. Otherwise, some
answer to the letter would be here ere
this. However, we await his return.
