Drake's Drum.

Will Drake's drum be beaten now for
the third time q? In the great hall at Buck
land Abbey in Devonshire, few miles
from Plymouth, the ancestral home OF
the family of Sir Francis Drake,-there
hangs an ancient drum of pattern not
known these three hundred years. II is
the famous drum of the great English sea
fighter, his companion throughout his
whole adventurous career. II beat the
signals on his flagship when he scattered
the Spanish Armada; it went with him
on the first British ship that went round
the world, and il sounded the taps when,
after his death at sea in the West Indies,
his body was committed 10 the waters Of
the Atlantic Ocean.
When Drake lay dying, so runs the
tradition, he commanded his brother, who
was captain OF one of the ships in the
British fleet, to take his drum back to
England, and hang it in his hall at Buck
land Abbey. Whenever danger threat
ened Britain LET them sound on that drum,
and his spirit would enter into the British
admiral and scatter his country's foes as
he had done in the days gone by. His
brother did as he was commanded, and
after three centuries the drum still hangs
in Buckland Abbey, which is now in the
possession of a descendant of brakes
brother.
Twice, runs the legend, has the drum
been sounded-and not in vain once, in
the generation after Drake's death, when
the Dutch sought TO wrest the control OF
the seas from the British, and the doughty
Admiral van Tromp sailed up the British
Channel with a broom at his masthead,
to signify that he would sweep the Eng
Iish from the ocean. AT its sound the
spirit of Drake entered into Admiral
Blake, who triumphed over the conquer
ing Dutch. Again, when the genius OF
Napoleon threatened the very existence
OF the British Empire, the drum was
sounded, and Drake's spirit animated the
greatest of English sea fighters-Admiral
Nelson.
And now, when Britain is involved in
the greatest war OF her history, il is said
that Drake's drum will again be sounded
TO raise up, if the legend be true, the
spirit of the old captain for the third time.
The old tradition is the subject ola poem
by an English writer, Henry Newbolt.
The poem makes the great sea fighter,
dying in his berth, exclaim:
Take my drum TO England. hang ct by the shore,
Strike ct when your powders runnin' low;
THE Dons sight Devon I'll quit the port o heaven
An drum them up the Channel as we drummed
them long ago.

The Foot-Path to Peace.

To be glad OF life because it gives you
the chance to love and to work and to
play and to look up at the stars; TO be
satisfied with your possessions but not
contented with yourself until you have
made the best of them; to despise MOTH
ing in the world except falsehood and
meanness, and to fear nothing except
cowardice TO be governed by your ad-
miratons rather than by your disgusts !;
to covet nothing that is your neighbor's
except his kindness Of heart and gentle
ness of manners; to think seldom of your
enemies, often Of your friends, and every
day OF Christ; and TO spend as much time
as you can, with body and with spirit, in
Gods out doors, these are little
guide-posts on the foot-path to peace

Vicisti, Galilaee.
Aye. down the years. behold, he rides,
The lowly Christ. upon an ass;
But conquerine2 Ten shall heed the call,
A thousand idly watch him pass;
They watch him pass. or lightly hold
In mock lip-loyalty his name:
A thousand-were they his TO lead
But meek, without sword. he came.
A myriad horsemen swept the field
With Attila, the whirlwind Hun:
A myriad cannon spake for him,
The silent. dread Napoleon.
For these had ready spoil TO give,
Had reeking spoil for savage hands;
Slaves, and fair wives. and pillage rare:
The wealth OF cities teeming lands.
And il the world, once drunk with blood.
Sated has turned from arms TO peace,
Man hath not lost his ancient lusts:
The weapons change war doth not cease.
The mother in the sitting den.
The BRAIN -dulled child beside the loom,
The hordes that swarm and toll and starve,
We laugh, and tread them to their doom.
They Shrek. and cry their prayers to Christ;
And lift wan faces, hands that bleed;
In vain they pray, for what is Christi
A leader-without men to lead.
Ah piteous Christ, aiar he rides:
We see him, but the face is dim
We, that would leap at crash OF drums.
Are slow TO rise and follow him.

How Shot Is Made.

The manufacture Of shot, described by
Mr.. o. c. Horn in Forest and Stream. re-
quires high tower. a perforated pan. a
tank Of water, and tempered" lead.
Shot is made by dropping molten lead
from high point to the earth. The lead
forms into globules just as the raindrops
do when they fall from the clouds. Or
dinarily, we do not realize that raindrops
are little spheres, but under the proper
conditions they freeze, and we have hail
stones, which may be called shot made
OF ice.
In the making OF shot, pure lead is
melted and mixed with temper" that
consists mainly OF tin, and then poured
into a perforated pan or sieve. The
perforations vary according TO the size
OF shot to be made
A temper is mixed with the lead in or
der to make the globules form when the
lead falls. Ii pure lead were used, II
would fall in the form OF little bars, in
stead Of round shot.
In order that the globules may have
plenty OF time to form. the lead must fall
long distance, and so towers are built.
The towers used 10 be made as high as
two hundred feet and even more, but
modern towers are rarely over one hum
dred and fifty feet.
The perforated pan into which the
molten lead is poured is al the top OF the
tower, and the globules oflead fall through
the perforations into tanks OF water at the
bottom OF the tower. The water eools
them, and also prevents them from Hat
tening out, as they would II they fell on
solid floor.
From the water the shot 20 to steam
driers. After drying, the perfect shot are
separated from the imperfect by means
oil glass tables inclined enough so that the
shot, when poured on at one end OF The
table, will roll TO the other cad. Al the
farther end OF the table are two cutters,
side by side. The imperfect shot roll
slowly and with difficulty, so that they
have not enough momentum TO carry them
beyond the first gutter. The perfectly
round shot roll easily and swiftly, and
when they reach the foot oi the table,
they jump nimbly across the first gutter
and land in the second.
After separation, the perfect shot are
polished by rolling in plumbago, aud
workmen then put them in bags for ship
ment, or send them direct TO the cartridge
filling department TO be loaded into shells.

course in speeehmakng at its
headquarters, - Halsey street.
Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle is now in
structing few active members in the
art Of holding street meetings. She
is teaching them how TO gather
crowd how to hold 1t when they have
gathered It and how to send each and
every member of the crowd away an
enthusiastic suffrage supporter. Her
course is practical, for after her lee
lures and demonstrations in the head
quarters her pupils are taken into the
highways and byways, especially the
former, planted on soap boxes and
hidden put into effect what they have
learned.
Mrs. Van Wrinkles class, however. Is
only a primary one. Her work is
merely to prepare her students for the
task of learning the finer points Of
speechmazing from Miss Jennie Nor
row. of New York, who will take
charge of the class of oratory on Octo-
Der 5.
Until then, however. Mrs. Van
Wrinkle will con tinue in charge of the
class whose members will conduct
street meetings on Saturday night and
after every class instruction. which
probably will be about once a week.
The Bergen county organiza ton or
the Women's Political Union Is to
have a suffrage school also. This
class will meet, beginning October 10,
and will continue through two weeks.

What Is necessary he said is
10 utilize all the forces in the State
and see to 1t that every town is COW

well to have a big suffrage conference
to which political speakers from all
parties may be invited? The union
ought to have speakers from all po-
