WHEN JENNIE LIND SALUTED
Beautiful Tribute of Great Singer to
Our National Flag.

There is pretty story told Of the
honor Jenny Lind once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
in New York, more than sixty years
ago. The frigate St. Lawrence had
Just returned from a cruise,I and the
midshipmen went to hear the Swedish
nightingale sing at Castle Garden
Theater, and the next day they called
on her in a body. Their enthusiasm
and her graciousness soon brought
about a visit to the ship and the ac-
ceptance of luncheon rendered her.
When she was about to leave the ship
she looked up at the Stars and Stripes
and said:
81 wish to salute your flag"
So, standing on the gangway, she
sang 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" ST.
lently from all over the ship men gath
cred with uncovered heads, until the
ship'S family was all assembled on
deck. Nor were they her only audi
ence, for borne upon the still air her
song had been heard by many other
vessels nearby, and when the won
drous voice ceased steamers blew their
whistles and exultant cheers rose from
all sides, filling the harbor with their
tribute of applause for the beloved flag
she had so beautifully saluted.-Reho-

through which they are passing sup.
port the army has it's advantages and
Its disadvantages.
Tie fighting part of the army sweeps
on to some new point and after the
battle has ended and the men have
settled down for some hard-earned
rest, the kitchens come UP and furnish
the soldiers with the evening meal, and
again in the morning, unless the men
are surprised by some early attack of
an order for an early attack, more food
Is furnished. AS soon as the new
territory has been conquered, foraging
parties visit all the larmhouses and
villages, and sieze everything of food
value for the army.
The inhabitants are told that they
have to furnish food for so many men.
Every vestige Of food that is growing
In the fields is gathered, the hay is
seized for the horses, and when the
army moves on it has devasted the
country, house and field, just as an
army of locusts would, That works
well for the army unless 1t meets with
a reverse, and then should 1t. have to
return over the same ground there are
no more stores to. be seized, no more
food to be obtained, the retreat be-
comes a rout and the men, hungry and
tired, rush on to get away from the
enemy and to get back to their own
country to find more food. 1t is the
same for horse as for man.
Catering for the army has become a
science. Each country has it's experts
who have figured out just what it need
ed for the men at home and when in
the field carrying arms. Each has fig.
ured just what is necessary for all
climates, and men who are sent to
fight in cool climates have different
food from those sent to war in the
tropics. They have learned, too, what
foods will be best to nourish and sus
tain men in their tremendous work
and have selected food. easy of trans
portation and which have as little
waste as possible in preparation. This
has been done for two reasons. 1t is
absolutely necessary that the men
should have good, wholesome food, and
1t is also an important item that this
food should be put into as little space
rs possible in order to facilitate trans
portation.
Just how long the armies will be
able to stand the strain they are now
under no one can figure. The men in
the field are eating up all the food

POETRY AND POVERTY.
Their Frequent and Pathetic Alliance
In ENGLAND.


Writing of Poets Corner, w. J.
Loftie, in Westminster Abbey" COM
ments on the frequent and pathetic
alliance between poetry and poverty.
The first of the poets laid here, Chau-
cer-who dwelt in a house In the
monastery garden known as "The
Rose"-"fell into poverty in his old
age" Spenser, according to Drum
mond OF Hawthorne, died for lack
Of bread" in Kings street, Westmin-
ster. Ben johnson died in great
poverty" in house on the north side
Of the abbey, near st. Margaret's.
Dryden is another immortal to whom
the same fate attaches; also Butler,
Of "Hudibras' fame. Chaucer's house
was demolished to make way for
Henry Wis chapel. His gray marble
tomb dates only from 1856. Though
so late In erection, 1t is good to re-
call that the tomb was the gift Of
brother poet In happier material cir
cumstances, Nicholas Brigham.

Armies Of Europe Eat
1880 Tons Food Daily
Feeding Fighting Men a Big Problem
Each Nation Has Its
Own Methods.

The soldiers who are fighting in the
many armies of Europe eat 1,25O tons
OF food each day. These figures are
based on the allowances made by each
country for each man in war times
and averaged by an authority on com
missary.
Il Is figured. that the average fol
each man is two and one-half pounds
OF food day. 1t has ben stated that
there are from 100000 to 10000, ,OOO
mon now on the battle lines. Just
what the real figures are it is impos.
sible to determine, but 100000 is
probably nearly correct.
In thirty days the 100000 men
have eaten 337500 tons of food. The
extent of this can be better realized
when 1t Is considered that the popula.
ton Of New York, Chicago, Philadel.
phia, st. Louis and Boston, according
to the last government census, was TO-.
2e4 1000.
A box car on an Amrican railroad
will carry about $50 tons. This means
that to transport tie food of one day
for 100000 men, $50 of these would
be needed If these $50 cars were
divided into trains of forty cars each,
It would mean fourteen trains drawn
by the largest engines in the country.
Each nation has it's own system of
feeding it's men, and now it is realized
everywhere that to enable the men to
fight at their best they must be fed
properly. England, like the United
States, feeds its army from behind.
That is, 1t sends food trains to follow
each division, and these trains. equip
ped with the different foods, deal out
to each regiment provisions, which are
served to the men or are cooked and
served from the kitchen. The French
also furnish their men with food, espe.
cially when they are fighting on the
defensive, but when they are in the
enemy's country they follow largely
the system of the Germans, that the
country should support the army as far
~ possible.
This system of making the country
