1 Disease of plants In pots is some
times due to accumulation of nckl in
Ihe soil. Placing the plants in new ,
fresh earth Is one of the remedies ,
but as some plants will neb bear re
moval the use of hot water is resorted
ko. First stir the soil as deep as it
tan bo done , and pour water at a
temperature of 140 degrees on the
parth in the pob until it runs off
Clear from the bottom. At the be-
ffinnlg the water will be clear ; then
jirown , and then clear again. The
Uckly plants will be invigorated , and
will soon show evidences of improve
ment. ICeep the plants in a warm
location until the soil becomes some-
ferhat dry again.

"We didn't know , " said the doctor ,
"as much about abdominal surgery In
the Civil War as the doctors do now ,
but wo wore not such blunderers us
some of the modern fellows seem to bo-
Hove.c treated In all thousands of
abdominal wounds , aud lu the four
years of the wnr when there was a
good deal of shooting with largo bul
lets , we learned a good deal. It Is
true that at the beginning of the war
the great majority of surgeons hud lit
tle or no knowledge of surgery , and
most of us were reluctant to perform
any operations outside of the.range of i
work nt home. ,
"Through this reluctance to perform
operations , or because of the Impres
sion that a man shot through the abdo
men could not recover , many wounded
men shot through the body were count
ed no better than dead men. But there
were surprises. I remember the cnso
of Michael ICctiHcr of Company C , First
Kentucky volunteer Infantry. At Shiloh -
loh Kcuser was shot through the body
on the Hue of the belt , as his orderly
reported , and was regarded as fatally
wounded simply because the bullet had
gone clear through him. But tbrco
days after the battle the man whom
the company mourned as dead , or as
good as dead , walked Into camp using
Ids musket as a crutch. He declined to
return to hospital , was treated In com
pany quarters , recovered speedily , an 1
became one of the mpst robust men In
Jhe company , serving to the end of the
war and experiencing no trouble what
ever from his wound.
"I can match that , " said the Colonel.
"In that same battle of Slilloh Lieut ,
"lacob n. Smith of the Second Ken
tucky volunteer Infantry , now a briga
dier general In the Philippines , receiv
ed what was regarded an a fatal
wound. A mlnle bullet struck n largo
gold watch which he carried In the fob
pocket of his trousers splintered tbu
watch to fragments , carrying some of
these fragments with bits of his clothIng -
Ing Into his body. The bullet came out
Just above the pelvis , and when the
doctors saw that the pieces of brass
and of the porcelain of the watch face
had penetrated the wound they took It
for granted that Smith would die , and
practically he received no medical at
tention for three days.
"Then one of tlie olllcers of the regi
ment toolr charge of him , put him In
comfortable quarter * , and , noticing
that the scepago of the wound cuuiu
from both sides , reported the case to
the division surgeon. Thereafter Smith
received the most careful attention an l
completely recovered. He entered the
regular army , experiencing no Incon
venience from his abdominal wound ,
and Is now serving hi an Important
command In the Philippines. "
"There were hundreds of such cases , "
said a Confederate colonel , who ut one
time commanded one of Gen. .lob Stu
art's cavalry regiments. "Wounded
men always nuzzled me. Sometimes
a man with a mere scratch dloJ. Again
a fellow that was apparently all torn
to pieces got well. But wounded men
puzzled me no more than wounded
horses. 1 rode a horse thiough a good
part of the war which was In no way
alToctcd by the roar of camion or rattle
of musketry. But on one occasion In an
engagement In \ 'rglnla ' I charged on a
Union Infantryman and tried to ride
him down. 1 used my.sword , and , as 1
believed , skillfully , but the Yankee
kept my horse out of effective striking
distance by pricking him constantly
with the bayonet , backing all the time
toward his own lines.
"Finally I saw that I could not reach
him with my sword , and I drew my
Colt revolver. Taking deliberate aim ,
I flrcd just at the moment that the
Union soldier came to a charge bayo
net , and plunged forward with a loud
'Kchoo. ' The horse threw lib head up
and the ball IntendeJ for the man
passed between the horse's ears , under
the leather of the bridle , cutting the
skin to the bone. The horse was stun
ned , shocked , aud It was with the
greatest dllllculty that I could change
his course to our own linos. Subse
quently he was worthless as a cavalry
Horse , necuuso or ins tear or musket
firing nnd of bayonets. "
"Gen. Green B. Haum , " said the Ma-
iJor , "told me that up to the day of the
battle of Corinth the horse he roe had
passed through several engagements ,
nnd showed no Indication of fear of
cannon or musketry Ihlng. but In the
charge of Oct. 4 his horse was shot
through the bast of the ear. As soon
as he was struck he threw his head
down , trying to nib the wound with
his foot or leg. Uver after that lie
Vrould shy at the noise of a single mus
ket , and could tuit bo ridden with safety -
ty near a battery or firing lino. He
i phowcd such fear nt the approach of a
'r.oldlgrsltb ' a gun that he was useless
| u the army , and was sent home.
"A Third New York cavalry man told
that on the way to Kort Fisher his
Ine
ior0e became sea hick. Before that the
liorae was a ready wader , was ready to
Jump Into the river and swim acrogg ,
iio matter how turbulent tUo stream
was , but afterward he would feel his
way carefully when taken near the
water , and if forced Into the stream
would keep near the shore , "
"That reminds me , " s ald the Cnptnln.
. "of n monkey that camels a prisoner
I to Battery B , First llhode Island nr-
{ llleiy. In one of the Wilderness flank
movements one of our boys was sitting
on the porch of n farm house , when the
monkey slipped up un.l bit him on the
leg. He grabbed the little chap , and I
saw the monkey at the battle of Sail
or's Creek sitting up on a box of crack-
era which had been broken open , and
ho was shying hard tack at the boys
and grinning In tlie most comical man-
nor.In uti engagement however he
was a great coward , and would hide
under any available thins ? . Ordinarily
ho rode on the off wheel horse of the
battery , but In battle he crawled Insl ie
of the driver's blouse or shirt , If pos
sible , and exhibited tlie mpst abject
fear.
"Our horses were often nervous wlien
wounded , but If the battle was on and
there was great excitement they Deem
ed to be controlled by much the same
spirit as wounded men. At all events ,
If they were slightly wounded they ro-
covwcd from their nervousness , forgot
their woundH , and had as much dash
nnd spirit In the forward movement aa
before they were wounded. If there
was no fighting , or If there was a re
treat , they continued In n state of ner
vous excitement. " Chicago Inter

J. Q. Beckley , who served with the
Fourth Michigan volunteers , recently
told how u calf scared 100 Union sol
diers.
He said : "Wo were down lu West
Virginia , about 100 of us detached
t from our regiment and doing special
duty looking for stray guerrillas who
were 'continually running through our
lines , administering a blow and then
running away. Isfot any of us had been
within gunshot of the llriig | line an I
few had talked to one who had. How
ever , Just as often as we bivouacked
we were frightened.
"One morning rumor came that n big
squad of guerrilla cavalry had been
seen the night before only a short Uls-
.i , OAi.r.
lance ahead of us.Ve were not out
to retreat , even though we were so
afraid of our live * that we all wished
wo bad never enlisted so we kept mov
ing : . Suddenly a terrible gallopln ; ; was
heard Just In front of us and b yon > l
a small hill. We/ thought It was a cav
alry charge and formed to meet It.
"It fell my 'lot to kneel down lu front
with my bayonet pointed at an angle to
receive the charging enemy. Men all
about me wore In similar nosturos. I
suppose , but I knew of nothing but the
steady gallop , gallop of the thousand J
honfs that would soon pound tin- life '
out of me. I gritted my teeth to await i
the charge , though I < uiakcd as with
thi' nn'ue. I recall the man next me
saying , 'Qood-by , old fellow. '
"I began to wonder why the charge
wasn't made and over with. Just as
I began to get brave the pomi'ling hoofs
sounded again.'Steady , men ; don't
move , ' cautioned our leader. Then
prancing over the top of the hill canio
a good-for-nothing brlndlc calf. " Chicago

"It seldom , If ever , happen ? that guns
car-'ured by an army are used for the
purpose of Drlng a salute when the vic
tors are about to go away , " said J. M.
Kortr of Company G , Seventh Iowa In
fantry , to some members of his old reg
iment , whom he had met for the first
time since the clone of the war. Con-
tinning , Mr. Kortu said : "I remember
a llerce fight we had on the river at
Columbus , Ky. , in 1SM. ( At that time
we had the gunboats Taylor nnd Tyler ,
and they were hummers. Long about
daylight we noticed a large number
of rebels on the shore. A short time
afterward they opened fire on us with
rifles and cannon. When the fight be
came a little too hot for our comfort
we pare them two broadsides wliIHi
threw them Into a panic. In less than
thirty minutes we had dismantled their
guns and caused them to run up the
white Hag as a token of surrender. A I '
few weeks afterward the guns we cap
tured In this light were nsel to flro n
p.ilr.ti. to us as we Fi't out for St. ( I
