COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM
The True History of an Immortal War
 Time Poem.

Time Poem.
 Following is the true history of I've are Coming Father Abraham, Three Hundred Thousand More:"
 In the month of July, 1882, in ans wer to a call from the President for "Three hundred thousand more," a Massachusetts regiment was marching down Broadway on its way to the front. There was no music of band. The tramp of the men was the only sound and 1t was the rhythm of their feet that sang the song in MT. Gibson's mind.
 Entering friends office, the flight ing Quaker" recited the poem as he had composed it on the march and the friend urging him to have it published, it ap- peared in the columns of the "New York Evening Post" but with no name attached. It was not long before William O. Bryant, the then editor of the Post, received letter from Ohio, asking permission to change part of the third line of the poem-"our wives and children dear''-for the reason that a regiment about to set out was con- posed almost entirely unmarried men. MT. Bryant asked and received MT. Gibbons's permission to reply to the letter without disclaiming the author ship of the poem, and it was owing to this circumstance that confusion arose as to the real author of the popular song.
 There is abundant proof of the truth of this statement.

10000 Salvationists.

A great temporary building has been erected in the Strand, London, to house the 20, 900 members of the Salvation Army, who will gather here in June from all parts of the world.
 General Bramwell Booth has fixed June II to 26 for the International Congress of the Salvation Army, and as on the last occasion in 1904 has ar- ranged for temporary building to be erected in the Strand. This time it will accommodate 5000 people, and about 100 meetings are to be held. Many improvements are to be effected in the erection as compared with the previous occasion. A canvas covering, for instance, is to be placed over the roof in order to avoid the noise of the heavy rain which is not uncommon even in June
 In the South African party are to be included fourteen representatives from native tribes. From Canada, in addi- tion to the ordinary British settler, red Indians from the northwest. Japan and Korea are each to send company of native officers, and the United States is arranging for several colored officers to be present. From India, in addi- tion to Commissioner Booth Tucker and British officers, there will arrive half a dozen Dom girls and a number of na- tive officers. All these delegates will wear the costumes of their countries.

BILLIONS EGGS DESTROYED
Results of Egg-Mass Destroying Con-
 test.

The Tent Caterpillar egg-mass des- troying contest which was started last November has come to close. The prize of $25 in gold has been awarded to Florence Madley, of Lebanon Center School who collected 116,O egg masses. The teacher who wins the $25 scholarship at the summer school and whose pupils collected the highest num- Der is Miss K. Donohue, of Southford School in the town of Southbury, with total score of 229,O20. The wool bunting flag offered by the Hartford Courant goes to the Southford School
 The number of egg-masses collected by the school children has exceeded by far the expectations of the promoters of the contest. As nearly as can be es- timated, over 10,000,000 egg-masses have been collected through the efforts of the pupils of the state. New Mil ford leads the towns of the state for the highest score by towns, having col lected 819,5 ,510.
 While there seems to be more tent caterpillars than ever throughout the state and the collection of over ten mil Eon egg masses does not seem to have materially lessened the ten caterpillar, such is not the case. In the localities where the children have collected large numbers of egg-masses there is a mark ed difference in the number of de- foliated trees and 8 large amount of damage has been averted. Also by the efforts of the children many roadside trees have been kept free from the ugly nests and defoliated branches
 Only the schools having scores over 5000 have been reported. The num- Der of egg-masses collected by such schools was 9,22O, 572. As nearly as can be estimated at this time the total number collected by the schools that failed to secure a score of 5000, ex- ceeds 100000. The grand total, therefore, is undoubtedly over 1O,OOo,- 900.
 The egg-masses average 250 eggs each and the caterpillars average when full grown 3 IA inches in length. If all the eggs had been allowed to hatch and the mature caterpillars placed end to end they would have reached 88, ITS miles or over three times around the earth.

| The puDllcatlOn or tnlS statement, and reproduction of the poem in The News, at this time, is peculiarly apt, in view of the fact that daughter of the author, Mrs. Sarah H. Emerson, is a regular summer visitor in Canaan, and is domiciled here at the present time. The poem follows:
 THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE. We are coming, Father Abraham, three
 thousand more,
 From Mississippi's winding stream and from New England's shore; We leave our ploughs and workshops,
 our wives and children dear, With hearts too full for utterance, with
 but silent tear; We dare not look behind us, but stead fastly before:
 We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand morel If you look across the hill-tops that meet the northern sky, Long moving lines of rising dust your
 vision may decry; And now the wind, an instant, tears
 the cloudy veil aside, And floats aloft our spangled flag in glory and in pride, And bayonets in the sunlight gleam, and bands brave music pour: We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more! If you look all up our valleys where the growing harvests shine, You may see our sturdy farmer boys
 fast forming into line; And children from their mothers knees
 are pulling at the weeds, And learning how to reap and SOW
 against their country's needs; And farewell group stands weeping
 at every cottage door: We are coming, Father Abraham, three hundred thousand more You have called us, and we're coming,
 by Richmond's s bloody tide To lay us down, for Freedom sake, our
 brothers bones beside, Or from foul treason's savage grasp to
 wrench the murderous blade, And in the face of foreign foes it's frag- ments to parade.
 Six hundred thousand loyal men and
 true have gone before: We are coming, Father, Abraham, three hundred thousand more!

FIRELEss COOKER FOR JELLY
New Way of Boiling Fruit Keeps
 Natural Fragrance and Flavor

The fireless cooker Is adapted also to the preliminary cooking of fruit to be used for jelly, since there is no danger of it's burning. and it can become soft without losing the fresh flavor. which boiling will surely al ter It is customary to apply boiling temperature for some time. perhaps twenty minutes, in order to sterilize fruits sufficiently to keep well. A much longer and repeated boiling would be necessary to make them completely sterilized, but experience has shown this to be unnecessary in most cases.
 In fireless cooking a lowec tem- erature than PIP degrees Fahren- heit is used and the time for cooking must therefore be increased. The old way of boiling the fruit to steril- ize it often destroys it's natural form and alters it's flavor. This is the great drawback with ordinary canned products.

Dowager Queen of England Interested in the Project ed Journey of the EX- plOrer Across the Ant arctic Continent

 Her majesty was accompanied by the Empress Marie Deodorovna and Princess Victoria, and with them were Earl Howe, Admiral Lord Fish CT, Sir Frederick Treves, the Countess of Antrim, the Hon.
