" \ jsitors to army headquarters on
Governor's Island often notice that of
ficers have a habit of referring to the
written or printed record for the most
trilling questions of fact. They never
rely upon memory for even unimpor
tant matters of routine which civilians
would no more think of forgetting than
a h.n/dcncd commuter would think of
forgetting the time of his morning
train to the city. Ask an officer in
the adjutant general's or quartermas

ihe First Battalion of the Sixteenth In-

letter to the commanding officer of the
battalion is lying addressed on his
desk.

WHEN MANCHU FIRST CHECKED MUSCOVITE.
ALBAZIX , THE RUSSIAN OUTPOST , SOIMOXED BY THE MANCHU GENERAL TO SURRENDER , 1083.
During the last quarter of the seventeenth century , Russia had pushed her outposts as far as the northern
tributaries of the Amur River , and had planted the flourishing town of Albazln , which commanded nearly three
thousand acres of cultivated land. In 1GS4 the Czar presented the town with a coat-of-arms a spread eagle , hold
ing a bow and arrow in its claws symbolical of mastery over the Chinese. Next year Albazin was assailed
by a strong Manchu force , numbering nearly twenty thousand , armed with bows and sabres , fifteen cannon , and
many matchlocks. The Chinese general sent in a demand for surrender , written in Manchu , Polish and Rus
sian , and as this was disregarded , a bombardment speedily reduced the town. The governor was forced to come
co terms , and surrendered , but received permission to march out with baggage and arms , the Chinese merely
following to see that Russia made good her promise of retreat
THADDY'S SONG.
Once on a day they slipped away
( I ihad so much to carry )
Visions of shades within the glades
Where dwell the elfand fairy.
My ways ran down into the town
Where all men strive for money ;
And I forgot the briery spot
Where wild bee sucks the honey.
Then on a day in leafy May
Came to my house a laddy ;
And as he grow I found he knew
What had escaped his daddy.
Ho takes me by the solemn , shy.
Sweet silent woodland places ;
We hear the beat of elfin feet
We almost see their faces !
Ho ! but ifs fine fo to resign

And through 'his eyes grow young anil

Where no one's in a hurry.

I GHLOE m THE STILE.
S we came down the field of
waving corn on Lavender Hill
Chloe was talking quite heroic
ally of life. Her hair had been blown
a little into admired disorder by the
bluff wind 011 the heath , her cheeks
were flushed with health and beauty ,
and she was mistress and queen of
herself and her domain. For me , iny
eyes went from her bright and signifi
cant face across the gray-green oats
In which we walked breast high , and
back again in serene contentment.
What did it matter that she was pre
pared to give battle to the monster
Man ? Let him perish.
The hills were ablaze with light , the
fields with charlock ; we moved in the
sun's eye , but Chloe looked as cool as
a primrose in her muslin , despite the
heat of her opinions.
"I can't really understand a sensi
ble man like you taking up a position
like that , " said she.
I had taken no position , except the
one by her side , but I defended myself
weakly.
"Well , you see , we inherit these pre
possessions and prejudices from our
savage ancestors , I suppose. "
"That's just it , " said Chloe eagerly.
"You admit it , then ? Savage ! Of
course , they were savages. You've
given away your case. "
I never really had any case , but I
didn't say so. "I suppose I have , " I
said ruefully.
"You know it , " said Miss Bohnn
firmly. "It is quite absurd to pretend
that women are one whit Inferior to
man. except , of course , " she added
quickly , "in regard to physical
strength. "
"And even then there were the Ama
zons , " I suggested.
She cast a glance at me. "Yes , there
were the Amazons , " she said , "which
shows "
"And the women do all the hard
work among the aboriginals , " I went
on.

She gave me another glance. "And
that again shows " she began
with less confidence.
"Do you know , * ' I said , stopping In
midfield to observe her critically , "I
believe that if you only practiced a lit
tle you would be more than a match
for a man. "
She looked away across the corn.
"Do do you think so ? " she said , hesi
tatingly ; and added , after a pause , "I
I don't think I'm so I'm not what
you'd call muscular. "
"Well , perhaps not , " I assented , ex
amining her appraisingly ; "but sinewy ,
Bay. "
"How absurd ! " said Chloe , quite
snappishly , as she walked 0:1. I fol
lowed. The deep * spreading shadows
of the bushes at the end of the field
enveloped us.
"Another stile , " said I , cheerfully.
"Dear me , that's the fourth ! ' ' saic
Chloe , resignedly. "I do wish they't
make gates between the fields. "
"A stile's more picturesque , " said I
"Very possibly , " said Miss Bohun
indifferently. "It's certainly not as
convenient. * '
"Ah , " said I , smiling , "there's one
thing , at any rate , in which men arc
superior. They can negotiate a stile. '
"Indeed ! " said Chloe , loftily. " 1
should have thought the feat was not
impossible for a woman. " I pursed ur.
my , lips. "Any woman can get over
stiles , " she said , warmly , seeing mj
skepticism.
"Oh , I've no doubt , ' ' said I , politely
"It's nonsense your saying that
when I can see you don't believe it , "
said Mi&s Bohun. "You're simplj
pleased to be sarcastic all along. "
I shrugged my shoulders. She march
ed coldly and confidently toward the
stile. It took off a high ground , which ,
I suppose , accounted for the absence
of a step. But there were two cross
bars to assist the climber. I thought
Chloe's face fell as she noted it.
"Let me give you a hand , " I said.
"Nonsense ! " ' she replied. "I don'i
want any assistance. It's quite easy. "
She put the hand which was not en
cumbered by the sunshade on the top
bar and placed one neat foot on tho
lowest. Then she hesitated.
"Perhaps I'd better take the sun
shade , " I suggested.
She did not answer at onco : then , "if
you wish it , " she replied , nouchaWfclt-
ly , "though it's of no consequence. "
I took the sunshade and waited.
Chloe's two feet were now on the
lowest bar. She peered over. The
stile let down beyond in a big drop
into a kind of hollow or ditch.
"Oh ! " said she. "I didn't " I
was still waiting.
"I wish you'd go on and not stare in
that atrocious way , " said she , with
asperity.
I begged pardon , vaulted the stile
with one hand and strolled on. Pres
ently I looked back. Miss Bohun was
seated astride the top bar , clinging
with both hands to it. Her face was
deeply flushed.
"Do go on ! " she called out , vehe
mently. I went on leisurelj" . But ,
somehow , I could not make up my
mind to walk briskly. She did not
join me , so I flung myself on the grass
and pulled out a cigarette. Then I
heard my name called in a distressful
voice. I stood up and looked around.
Miss Bohuii was astride the top bar
and she was pinker than ever.
"Please come don't be so unkind ! "
she cried with tears in her voice. I
hurried back like the wind.
"Oil , just give me your hand ! " pant
ed Chloe , nervously lifting one from
the bar. "I can't it's such a long
drop. I can't get my " .
"Wait a bit , " said I , considering.
"You're half way over now. You've
only got to lift that foot off the bar
and r"
"I shall go over. I know I shall go
over , " he said , pathetically.
"No , you won't , " said I. "It only
requires confidence. Imagine you're
on a horse and "
"But I don't ride a horse this way , "
said Chloe , miserably.
"No , " said I , "but men do ; and wom
en are just as good as "
"It's cruel of you it's beastly , when
I'm in such peril ! " sobbed Bohun. She
clutched wildly for me with the trem

seized it and her.
"Now just lift that foot , " I enjoined.

"I can't get it free. It's stuck , " she
said pitifully. I moved closer , still
with my burden on my shoulder , and
loosed the dainty foot. "Now , " I said.
She lifted it gingerly. "Don't mind
your ankles , " 1 said.
"Oh , but I-am " Her foot went
back. "Shut your eyes , please , " she
entreated. I shut my eyes. The next
instant the weight on me was doubled
and two arms went strangllngly about
my neck. As I have explained , the
foothold descended into a hollow. I
went down preciptately , on my head. I
saw several cornfields and two or three
stiles : also more than one Chloe. But
I seemed content to be there. Miss
Bohun extricated herself quickly.
"Oh , are you hurt ? Oh , how dread
ful of me ! " she said. "Oh , please dc
speak ! "
"I liked it , " I said , "and I'm only
hurt in one place. "
"I you frightened me , " she said ,
with a serious little laugh. "I'm sorry ;
is it your head ? "
I shook it and sat up. "No , luckly
I was born thick-headed. "
"Your your knee ? " she inquired
again , hesitatingly.
"Certainly not my knee , " I replied.
"Then " Chloe turned away.
She might have asked further ques
tions , but she didn't. She was busy
smoothing her skirt. "I can't think
why they make such horrible things , "
she said.
"Oil , but any woman can get over a
stile , " I told her. She made no reply ,
but turned right away. "Please , " I
called , "won't you help me up ? "
Miss Bohun turned back reluctantly.
I made a face of pain.
"It's your ankle ? " she said , with
sudden anxiety. I winced and took"
her hand , and then I was on my feet ,
with that hand in mine.
"No , it's here , " I said in a lower
voice , laying that hand on my heart.
"It was here long ago. " I drew her to
me.
"Do you always do that to people
you help over stiles ? " asked Chloe , be
tween a smile and a sob. Sketch.
Tcachinjj a Horse Bravery.
Expert horsemen believe that a
horse can be taught to do anything
that it is possible for an animal so
formed , and to be utterly fearless.
Thus , of horses rushing into battle
with a fearlessness that is magnificent ,
although in the beginning of their lives
they may have beeii foolishly timid ,
shying at everything unusual that hap
pened to be seen in their travels.
In order to teach a horse fearless
ness he must be accustomed to all
sorts of sights and sounds. He must
come to know that because something
that he sees or hears is unusual it does
not follow that it is harmful. For
it Is the unusual things that frighten
him. The horse is an animal of one
idea at a time , and is not able to dis
criminate , so say the men who have
made a study of the horse.
While he will travel along quietly
close by the roar of a train he may
tremble at the flutter of a piece of
loose paper flying in the wind. It is
not the frightfulness of the object that
seems to alarm him , but the imfamil-
larity of it Horse trainers say that
the mistakes made in "breaking" and
training a colt is that it is too often
done Li the seclusion of some country
road , Instead of amid the sights and
sounds that the animal must neces
sarily become familiar with later.
As soon Us the horse becomes fam
iliar with anything and has learned
to believe that it will not hurt him ,
he will stand quietly or trot along
peacefully , even though all sorts of.
noises and queer sights are about him.
Thus the artillery horse will stand
amid the roar of cannon , being used
to the noise and not knowing that the
sound predicts anguish and death. It
is well to accustom a horse to unusual
sounds as soon as possible after he
is trained for riding or driving. It
renders him safe and docile , even
though he be a spirited animal.
A certain trainer of horses said that
an ideal school for horses would con
tain thrashing machines , pile drivers ,
steam drills , electric , steam and ele
vated cars , a band of martial music
and a gang of quarrymen blasting
rocks. A horse that was drilled among
such a bedlam as this would , indeed ,
prove immune to strange noises.
Any man who can successfully run
an automobile , could do well with a
flying machine.
FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.
In Illinois They Expect to Use the Cur
rent for Plowing.
Kane county , Illinois , has taken the
lead in utilizing electricity as a i > owei
for farms. The current that is used bj
the electric railroad lines is being switch'
ed to the farina through which the roads
run for the purpose of running feed
choppers , pumping water , sawing wood ,
operating creameries and for many othci
purposes.
Duriuj , ' the first part of the present
yoar a number of experiments were made
by progressive farmers whose land is
worth from $100 tQ $125 an acre. The

and it has been the current tlvait has been

This work was done in GO per cent less
time thai ? if it had been done by hand
power.
Kane county is the first community
of farmprs and dairymen in this country
to make an extensive practical use of
electricity on the farm , and at is claimed
power will be mado use of to plow
fields and to cultivate crops. Many
farms employ electricity to illuminate
farm homes and buildings. At the Kane
county farm a new barn has recently
been completed , and in it has been in
stalled a powerful motor that cuts all
of the feed required for the big institu
tion and in doing a great variety of otker
work.

When one stops to consider the won
derful spread of the electric rail lines ,
which are the means of supplying cheap
power to the farms , some idoa o the pos
sibilities in this line may be had. If the
farmers take to the use o electricity as
a farm power they will have abundant
opportunity to contract for a supply o
the current that the rail lines are wiring
across the fields from one end of the
State to the other.

is soaked in a mixture of nitric and
sulphuric acids until it becomes nitro
cellulose. After thorough washing , to
free it from the acids , this cellulose is
dried , mixed with a certain quantity
of camphor , and coloring matter if re
quired , and then passed through a roll
