Ho hopes to grow fresh vegetables In hothouses by tho aid of burning glasses which will bo brought to focus on tho sheltered plants during the summer season when tho buu Is vis ible.

Then, too, he may take with him a Great South Hay scooter, tho first of her genus to invado tho Arctic Circle. Tho scooter is nn amphibious craft, native of the (lioat South Hay or Long Island.

Referring to your article by George W. Sweet, Troy, N. Y asking about the history of a gun in tho cemetery at Kendall, N. Y., on tho soldiers' plot, tho gun being marked on the muzzle No. 0, 17th Pa. L. A., nnd cumo from tho Hock Island arsenal, the history or tho 17th Pa. Ilnttery Ib as follows: The 17th regiment, known In the State Militia as the 1st Pa. Art., was originally formed as a battalion, Sept, 16, 1814, at Camp Dupont, under the command of MaJ. Androw M. Provost, wrltos Androw S. Collum of Paid mount, Pa., in tho Natjonnl Tribune. Nov. 19 of that year It was organ ized as a regiment, when MnJ. Pre vost was chosen lieutenant-colonel, Cornelius StcvctiBon first major and Thomas W. DuffioM second major, Col. A. J. Pleosanton succeeded Col PrevoBt in command, and upon his resignation Col. Henry Hohlen was elected. This regiment was always relied on by the civil authorities to respond promptly nt their call In caBo of dis turbance which they were unable to suppresB. In 1844, under Col. Pleasanton, It rendered efficient servlco In prevent ing tho destruction of public and pri vate property by n mob. June C, 1859, nn election of field of fleers waB held, and under this organ ization it was mustered into tho serv ice of tho United Stntcs by MaJ. Charles F. RufT, April 25, 18C1. Tho following wero tho Held offV cers: Francis E. Patterson, colonel; Robert O. Tyler, lieutenant-colonel; Wm. A. Leech, major; Gideon Clark was appointed adjutant. Recruiting wns commenced April 15, nnd It was ready with the maximum number for muster-in on tho 18th. The companies had nrmories where they were quartered and tho new re cruits drilled, re'ndorlng it unneces sary to go Into a general camp ot rendezvous. Tho officers served under their old commissions, and tho regi ment was known In the service as the 1st Pa. Art. until the order of Gov. Curtln. dated May 15, 18C1, changedj Its designation to that or the 17th Pa. Since tho 19th or April, when the 6th Mass. was fiercely assailed in the streets of Baltimore, Md., no troopi had passed through tho city, and nc attempt had been made to force a pas sage. Troops which had reached the capital from tho north had pro ceeded via Annapolis. Tho necessity of holding tho direct routo ha1 be come imperative, and Gen. Patterson determined at all hazards to open it He accordingly ordered Col. Patter Bon to proceed with tho 17th Pa. or. May 8 to Perryvllle, there to bo Joined by Cnpt. (since Gen.) T. W. Sher man's light battery nnd five compa nles of tho 3d U. S.. nil well nrmed and supplied with ammunition, thence to embark on transports for Haiti more, landing nt Locust Point. Col Pattorson mndo such disposition oi his force ns to enable him most sue cessfully to repel nttnek, and com menced his march through tho city, which for nearly threo weeks nnd been subject to mob rule. Without moles tntlon or any symptoms of a hostile demonstration ho arrived at Camden Station flvo days later. May 13 Gen. Butler took permanent military pos session of tho city, through which the tide of volunteers soon begnn to flow, not again to bo disturbed. Juno 10 the 17th Pa. was sent to tho Rockville expedition, and later were at Point of Rocks, Bunker Hill nnd other plnces, and was mustered out Aug. 2. Thererore, you will see tho comrades have secured one or tho most valuable relics or tho Civil war, as it dates back to 1811. A Soft Answer.

BROKE HORSE OF BAD HABIT Bag of Sand. Something Like a "Punch ing Bag." Did the Business Quite Simply. Noun Spears, a Hay Shore rarmor, has discovered a way to break a horse of kicking, according to a Mllford let ter to the Wilmington (Del.) News. Spears tells the following story: "I filled a stout gunny sack with sand and suspended It from tho celling In the rear of tho stall by a rope In such a position behind the horse that Its heels could have good play upon It. ThlB largo pendulum, needing only a strong power to start It, would swing with clocklike precision as soon as tho horso began to play Its acrobatic stunts upon it. At tho first kick the bag swung away, only to roturn with more force, giving tho nnlmal much more than It had sent. This unexpect ed return on tho part of tho bag caused tho horse to kick harder, but each time tho bag returned harder and paid ths animal with Interest. Finally the horfio, realizing that further kicking would bo fruitless, stopped kicking. Tho bag was allowed to hang in the same position for an entire week, but no moro uso for it was soon." THE BEST TREATMENT FOR ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF AND FALLING HAIR To allay itching and irritation of the scalp, prevent dry, thin nnd falling hair, rcmovo crusts, scales and dan druff, and promoto tho growth and beauty of tho hair, the following spe cial treatment Is most effective, agree nblo and economical. On retiring, comb tho hair out straight all around, then begin at tho side and make a parting, gently rubbing Cutlcura Oint ment Into tho parting with a bit of soft flannel held over tho end of the finger. Anoint additional' partings about half an inch apart until the whole scalp has been treated, tho pur poso being to get tho Cutlcura .Oint ment on the scalp skin rather than on tho hair. It is well to placo a light covering over tho hair to protect the pillow from possible stain. The next morning, shampoo with Cutlcura Soap and hot water. Shampoos alone may be used as often as agreeable, but once or twice a month Is generally sufficient for this special treatment for women's hair. Cutlcura Soap and Ointment sold throughout tho world.
