It waa not until the flint battle- of Hull Kuu had been fought, however, lhat a Nyalemallc plan of de fenae waa thought of. After the battle of Hull Kun the cliMler of commaud Ing height! four miles west of Alex andria and Mix miles from Washington were occupied by the Confederates, hut in October of that year the hills were again takes possession of and fortified by I he I 'nion troops. The system of works consllliiting what are called the defenses of Washington were divided into four groups: First, those south of I he Potomac, commencing wilh Fort Willard. below Alexandria, and ler mimiliiig with Fort Smith, opposile Oorgetown. comprising Iweiity-nlne forts and eleven supporting batteries: second. Forts Klhan Allen and Marry nt the Virginia end of the Chain bridge, with their five li!teries for Held guns; third, those north of the Potomac ami between that river and the Anacoslia. commencing with Fort Sumner and terminating wllh Fort Lincoln, com prising nineteen forts, four batteries armed with heavy guns and twenty three batteries of Held guns; fourth, those south of the Anacoslia, commenc ing with Fort Mahou at Kenning and terminating with Fort (ireble at Oxon run, nearly opitositc Alexandria, com prising twelve forta and one armed Imttery. Most of the heavy lalsir on the fortifi cations waa done by hired lalMirem, but a good part was the work of the sol diers. Indeed, It became the aim and duties of the soldiers who were quar tered In the forts to make them as fttrmig and perfect as possible.

Morton, ban in cluded a portion of Dr. John H. Brin ton's valedictory address to a graduat ing class of JefTerwjn Medical College of Philadelphia. The extract relates to the first meeting of ieu. Grant with Dr. Morton, and the anecdote Is glveu from Dr. Brlntou'a personal reminis cences. In the early summer of 1MH, during the Bene contest lu the Virginia wil derness, I was present officially at the headquarters of Lieut. Gen. Grant, ou whose staff I had previously served. While I was lu con versa lion with him au aide approached, ami anuonm-rd that a stranger, a civilian, wii-ln-d to see him for Ihe purpose of obtaining an ambulance for his ocisoiial use in Visiting the field hospitals. The answer of the general was i prompt and decided: "The ambulance ' are intended only for the sik ami wounded, and under no clrcuinstaun-M cau la- taken for private use." This response was carried to the wait ing applicant, a tra vel-slaim-d man iu brownish clothes, whom al the dis tance I thought I recognl.ed. 1 weut to him. and found lhat he was Dr. W. T. !. Morion. I asked lilm to wail a min ute, and returned to the general. On repeating the dis-tor's rispiest, I iiselved the same answer, 'itut, gen eral," I ventured to say, "if you knew who that man is, 1 think you would give him what he asks for." "No, I will not divert an ambulance to-day for any one; they are all iiHtilr ed elsewhere." "General," I replied, "1 am sure you will give him the wagon, he lias done so much for mankind, so much for the soldier-more than any soldier or civil ian ha done before: and you will say ao when you know his name." The general took his cigar from his mouth, looked curiously at the appli cant, and asked. "Who is lieV" "lie Is Dr. Morton, the discoverer of ether," I answered. The gen era 1 paused a moment: then he said: "You are right, doctor: he has done more for the soldier than any one else, soldier or civilian, for lie has taught you all to banish pain. Let him have the ambulance, and anything else he wants." Afterward, during Dr. Morion's stay, by order of the general commanding, he was tendered Ihe hospitalities of the headquarters,' ambulance, tent, mews and servant. liroiit on the field. While the most critical movements were taking place, General Grant mani fested no perceptible anxiety, but gave his orders, and sent and received com muulcatlons, with a cisdnesa and delib eration which made a marked iniprrs siou upon those who had been brought Into contact with him for the first lime on the field of battle, ills speech was never hurried, and his manlier betray ed no trace of excitability or even im patience, lie never exhibited to belter advantage his peculiar ability Iu mov- i lug troops wllh unparalleled speed to j the critical points on Hie line of bailie ! where they were most needed, or. as It I was sometimes called, "fi-eding a light." There was a spur on the heel of .'very order he sent, and his subordinates were made lu realize that lu baltlc It Is the minutes which control events. ll said, while waiting for Biirnslde to gel Into position and attack: "The only time 1 ever feci Impatient is when I give an order for an important move ment of troops lu the presence of the enemy, ami am waiting for tlu-m to reiii h their destination. Then Ihe min utes seem like hours." He rode out to important points of the line twice during the day, hi com pany with General Meade and two ofll cers of the staff. If was noticed that he was visibly affected by his proxim ity to I lie wounded, ami esH'clully by the sight of blood. He would turn his face away from such scenes, and show by the expression of his countenance, and sometimes by a pause iu his con versation, that he felt most keenly the painful spertarle presented by the Held of but tie. Some reference was made to the subject In camp Ilia, evening, and Ihe general said: "1 cannot bear lite sight of suffering. The night after the lirsl day's light at Shiloh 1 whs silling ou ihe ground, leaning against a tree, trying to get some sleep. It soon be gan to rain so hard thai I went into a log house near by to seek sheller; but I found Ihe surgeons had taken pos session of II. and were amputating the arms and legs of the wounded, and blood waa (towing In streams.

The figures on it are large enough io be read across a room; Its handsome Ippearance makes it worthy of a place in Ihe best furnished office or library, while t is business-like all the way through. the publishers state that the demand lor this calendar has always exceeded the sup ply.

A Disease of Civilization Ita fjmp toma How to tare It. DyspepB'ia i eaid to be a dieae of civilization. Savages know nothing about it. The disease has become do mesticated in America and we aa a people have threateued fo motiopollM It Few disorders iutilct upon their victims greater suffering, yet dyspep sia is not particularly dangerous and aeldom causes death. It permits the sufferer to linger iu misery for the al lotted term of life. The complaint usually begins with a ense of fullness, tightness and weight In the stomach after meals, and a di minished or lost appetite. Flatulency and sour stomach are also common, and there hs often nervousness, vomiting and general distress. Dizziness is also a prominent symptom, and an "all gone" feeling iu the stomach. Some times the patient twos a bad taste lu the mouth, headache, heartburn and palpi tation. Dyapejatia is the result of disturts-d or interrupted functions of the stom ach and digestive organs. The cure consists iu restoring these functiouss. If the stomach is too weak to digest food it must be strengthened. This must be done through the blood, which is the medium that carries strength and nourishment to all the organs. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the One True Blood Purifier and it cures dyspepsia by pur ifying and enriching the blood, com bined with its direct action upon the stomach and its secretions. Perhaps in no way has Hood's Sarsaparilla re lieved greater Buffering than lu IU cures of dyspepsia, which are Indeed legion. If you are suffering from this disease, give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial at once. It will tone and strengthen your atomach, give you an appetite and strength and relieve the pains and ouisv eriea of dyspepsia. , When we reflect that a large propor tion of milk is made up of water, we aae the importance of furnishing the cows with pure water. H. 8. Ma Hereon says : "I do not be leve that a cow milks any easier for having her teats wet, any more than I believe a man can lift more when he spits on bis hands." What man has done, man can do. Many dairies have succeeded in getting their herds up to an average of 300 pounds of butter' per cow per year. All should strive for it. A fair estmate of hay for a cow is fr m 15 to 20 pounds per day. A milch cow will eat four or five pounds more than a dry one, and a large cow will of course eat more than a "mall one, under simi lar c Miditions. Although the daughter of George W.
