The Fede- raj batteries continually bombarded the Confederate line, and when Sher- man captured Columbia, the command fol back to Charleston This, perhaps, was the outstanding engagement in which Foster participated

glaciers.
1.-The European engineers and
their families here in the shadows OF
the mountains live in a wild, bleak
setting" Commander Smith says.
Cut off as they are most of the time
from civilization, they must find it a
cruel and lonely land.
"From the Marion's anchorage.
half a mile from the shore, could
be heard the roar of the waters
rushing down from the hanging
glaciers of the mountains above"
These Europeans are doing an i'm

teacher, a celebrated one, took all
sad songs away from her. and gave
her only the gay and humorous
ones to study. From then on she
started to develop towards success.
The best way to acquire this YER
satiiity is first to select songs of the
mood to which you respond least.
In the beginning let those songs be
short, simple. but thoroughly in the
spirit which you wish to master.
Take those Of one mood at 4
time, then. AZ you progress, take
up songs OF another mood. But al
