The MaUs of the
By Emma Huntington Nasoa.
V A blaze of color, like sun-lit wine; -
A field of blue, where the white stars
shine;
'. A stream of glory for ships at sea;
A flash of hope where the armies be;
.A banner upheld through gain or loss;
. This was the vision of Betsy Ross.
Alone she sat in the silent room.
A matron fair in her youthful bloom;
Her eyes were alight, her cheeks
aglow.
As she stitched the colors, row on row;
Seven stripes of red, with the white
. between,
Till the red and white had made thirteen.

FUa In Battle.
The whole of the medical staff en
gaged In tending the sick and wounded
, la battle are protected by one of tha
articles of the well-known Geneva
' convention viz.. that they always con
spicuously display the Red Cross
badge, and refrain from committing
any act of hostility. Prior to the
general adoption of the tenets of the
Geneva convention It was customaay
to -mark ambulance wagons and hos
pital tents in the field by a large yel
low flag. The sacred character with
which emblems were Invested at the
time seems to have been beyond dis
pute, for, in connection with this mat
ter. Prof. Lieber writes: "It Is justly
considered an act of bad faith, of in
famy, or flendishness to deceive the
-enemy by flags of protection." An
other sort of "flag protection" (and
one about which a great deal la be
ing heard just now) is the white one
which Is displayed when a truce Is
sought. Concerning the employment
of this it seems almost impossible to
prevent misconceptions and abuses
taking place. Yet In no particularare
"the rules of the game" laid down.
Thas, a flag of truce is only to be re
spected when it Is used for the gen
uine purpose of enabling Its bearer to
have a parley with the enemy. In
ah other cases it is, ipso facto, divest
ed of this claim, and the person carry
ing It may be regarded as a spy.
Among other regulations on the sub
ject Js one that ordains that the flag
hearer shall he accompanied by a
bugler (to give notice of his ap
proach), and he shalThalt at a certain
distance frost the enemy's lines In
erder to learn whether he will be re
ceived or not Consequently, the mere
act ef carrying a white flag does not
Itself entitle a belligerent to enter a
position occupied by an opposing
force, as no obligation to accept or
even listen to his overtaxes exists.
At the same time, he may not be nred
mpea no long as he is thus acting as
a recognised ambassador. When, in
the actual progress of battle, a white
ft is raised, it is generally held to
indicate that smarter is sought by the
Usplayng it Here, again, how
tfce opposing force may please
HMlf as to whether it shall thereupon
flrfng or not Nevertheless, as
mis. it doss so. The sar
psrty than lays down its
its members are . coa-
straiaed to yield taetaselvas prisoners
of war. As sack It Is not considered
carract to subject them to more ra-
saa may ha absolutely neces
their safe ttody. Accord-
arms, and
J ingly the offlcers are usually imnw
dlately released on parole, or prompU:
exchanged for others of their owa
rank. In any ease the onus of sup
porting prisoners of war rests on the
nation detaining them. Graphic.

When war with Spain waa declared,
William Barber went to Franklin. Pa.,
and joined Company F. Sixteenth Reg
iment The army ration of hardtack
soon became very tiresome to young
Barber, and while on his way to the
camp at Chlckamauga he conceived a
plan to secure better food. He wrote
his name and company address on a
piece of hardtack, together with a
short but vehement appeal to some
good southerner to send them at leaat
one square meal to camp. Hanging out
of the car window, he threw the hard
tack at the first house the train passed.
Great waa the surprise of young Bar
ber the following Sunday, when he was
called from his tent and introduced to
CoL Ray and his daughter, Mary, a
handsome brunette, who informed him
that his hardtack appeal had been
found, and that they were there to an
swer it On either arm of the colonel
was a big basket of food that made
toe hungry man's eyes stick out and
caused the army ration to become a
thing of contempt for several days.
Col. Ray and his daughter had driven
twenty miles that morning to see
young Barber, and they extended to
him a cordial Invitation to visit them.
Thereafter Barber was at the home of
the Rays whenever it was possible to
secure leave of absence. The colonel
was wealthy and lived on a large plan
tation. His family was composed of his
wife and himself, his daughter, Mary,
and her younger sister. When the or
der came for the departure of the Six
teenth for Charleston, where they were
to take the transit for Porto Rico. Bar
ber was engaged to be married to Miss
Mary Ray. They have since married
and are now living with the colonel in
Tennessee.
Modem War Net Fletuwqve.
A charge, such as the Boers make, is
robbed of all story-book picturesque
ness and glamor. The glitter of sword
and bayonet the smoke and flame, the
bright uniforms, the inspiring cheers,
the precision of serried ranks, the gal
lantly carried battle-flags to be pres
ently planted on the earthworks of the
enemy, are all lacking. They belong
to the war of the past In their stead
a crouching, creeping line of dirt
covered men, shuffled by the varying
chances of the fight out of all sem-1
blance of order; brown, bare sun
scorched, bowlder-flecked ridges, dot
ted here and there with stunted bush
es, hazy with heat and alive with pro
jectiles; the keen rattle of rifle-fire,
punctuated by the stuttering of ma
chine guns, and broken into full
periods by the reverberating road or
heavy artillery, now and again seem
ing to die only to break out afresh;
and all this for hour after hour, each
passing moment claiming a victim to
sprawl in agony on the superheated
rocks. Such is modern war, as typified
In South Africa today. From "'With
the Boer Army," by Thomas F. Mil
lard, in the June Scribner's.

To Prevent Delay.
Our navy department has concluded
to carry out the repairs on" such ship
as may be laid up in the future In as
complete a manner as possible, so that
when their services are required no
delay shall be experienced in fitting
the vessels for sea. Stores and outfits
are to be prepared and laid out ready
for instant use, and in a general way
the method so long carried out in the
French navy will be Instituted in the
various navy yards where ships are to
be placed in ordinary for sea service,
and in this way it is believed that our
more powerful craft can be so kept
as to be to all intents and purposes as
ready for mobilization as though in
commission.
Crane Liked Koar of BatCe.
Personally Stephen Crane was one of
the coolest and bravest men I have
ever known. He was, in a way, a fatal
ist and his favorite saying was that
what is to be is not to be dodged, and
let worry go hang. Richard Harding
Davis said that he waa the coolest man
under fire that he had ever seen, and
he cites -Crane's description of the
marine signaling under fire at Guan
tanamo done during the war. Crane
often told the writer that it was his
dearest wish to die in battle, for in bla
soul he hated the ordinary, and, cer
tainly it is one of the little Ironies of
life that after facing all sorts of dan
gers by sea and land he should pass
away quietly and conventionally In a
German village.
Soldier's Library.
Mrs. Greenleaf. wife of Col. C. R.

many of them worn and soiled, but
greatly enjoyed by both officers and
men. About ten papers are sent regu

The Caaker Wans.
Many complaints have been re
ceived this spring from various locali
ties in the state in regard to the caa
ker worm, looping cataplllar, or meas
uring worm, as the above insect is
called. The worms are easily distin
guished from the other ordinary pests
of the orchard by their peculiar loop
ing or measuring mode of travel;
hence the common names. They are
more properly known aa caaker
worms, and can be found feeding on
apple, cherry, plum, and other fruit
trees and also on elm and other shade
trees.
The eggs are deposited in masses
of a hundred or more oa the branches
and trunks of trees oa which ' the
worms fetd; the fall canker worm
laying the eggs in the autuma, toe
spring caaker worm laying her eggs
usually in early spring. la both cases
the eggs hatch while the buds are
expanding, and toe larvae feed upon
the leaves until full grown. When
they occur in large numbers they fre
quently completely defoliate the
trees. When full grown the larvae
are about an inch in length and they
then crawl down the tree or drop
down by meaas of a sllkea thread.
The adults of the fall canker worm
emerge at about the time the first
frosts appear. A few of the spring
canker worms emerge at this time
also, but the vast majority of them
remain in the pupa state tbrougnoui
the winter and emerge as adults at
the first approach of warm weather
early the next spring. In all cases
the adult male canker worm has well
developed wings and can fly. Vn
like most rooths, the female canker
worm never has wings at all, and
therefore cannot fly. She crawls to
a suitable tree and ascends the trunk
to the Hmbs above; there she awaits
the male and then deposits her eggs.
It at 'once becomes evident that if
we can take advantage of the "weak
point" in these insects and prevent
the females from crawling up the
trees to deposit their eggs, we can
nrevent the injury to the leavea.
This has been done in a number of
ways. A band of loose cotton, tied
at the top only, or a band of tin fast
ened around the trunk of the tree, or
a band of heavy paper or cloth, on
which is spread tar mixed with oil
to prevent dying, or printers' ink,
or even refuse sorghum, will act as
barriers and either prevent the insect
from crawling .over, or it will catch
and hold her. Of course, one mast
take precaution to atop all crevices
between the band and the bark, after
having first scraped off all loose bark
where the band is placed. When the
females find they cannot crawl up
the tree to deposit their eggs, they
will frequently deposit them at the
base of the tree or oa the weeds near,
and when the young larvae emerge
they will try to crawl up -toe tree,
and unless every minute crevice be
tween the band and the tree be stop
ped, they will crawl through. Of
course, one must attend to the bands
properly and keep them covered with
fresh tar or '-other sticky substance.
The tin or cotton bands, of course,
need no sticky, substance pntnem
since they act as barriers by pre
venting the insect from getting a
foothold, or by becoming entangled
In the cotton fibers. The bands must
be applied very early in the fall, and
kept there until late in the winter,
and again very early in the spring
sometimes even in January and not
removed until summer.
The best and most satisfactory
method, however, of combating the
canker worm is by the use of pails
green. One pound of pans green and
three pounds of lime in one hundred
and twenty-five gallons of water
should be sprayed on to the apple
trees by means of a force pump and
snrav nozzle. This snravlne should
be done thoroughly, and every part
well drenched, care snoum oe taken
to keen the liauld constantly stlrrin'k.
since parts green does not dissolve In
water and settles quickly. Be sure
and purchase parts green that is pure.

Thrash.
One of the most unpleasant common
liseases of the farm horse is known
as "thrush of the foot" and consists
in a moist fetid condition which fre
quently gives rise to more" or less
lameness and always to a foul odor and
unhealthy state of the frog, 'which is
liable to become serious if not attend
ed to properly and promptly.
On picking up the foot of a horse
suffering from this disease it will be
found that the frog Is soft and rotten
and that there is a discharge of white)
foul-smelling matter exuding from the
cleft of the frog and at each side of It
In very bad cases we also find that the
matter frequently forces its way be
tween the horny and soft frog and ap
pears at the heel, constituting what
farmers often call "grease heel." In
other cases the matter finds its way
under the sole and the horse is then
very lame and cannot bear the pres
sure of a shoe.
The cause of the disease is standing
in wet and filth in badly cared for sta
bles, and farmers often make matters
worse by the application of cow-dung
poultices, which should never be ap
plied to the foot of say 1
Whenever a horse is found to have
contracted tbia disease have the shoes
removed and with a sharp ahoers
knife remove all rotten and under run

cleanse with a strong disinfectant such

tised in these columns. Thea if the
horse is lame apply "a hot poultice of

done, for the reason that one cannot

H Cattle Qaaraatlaa,
A report from Jefferson City, Mow
under date of June 29, says: Gover
nor Stephens has extended the cattle
qaaraatlae of the state to include
Canada cattle, and from this date un
til the quarantine is lifted ao Cana
dian, cattle can be' shipped iato Mis
souri until they have been examined
by either the state veterinary or a vet
eriaary surgeon appointed for that
purpose. The examination ahall be to
ascertain if the cattle are infected with
tuberculosis. This is the only change
made In the quarantine regulations
which have been in force in the state
for the past' year. This disease has
made its appearance among Canadian
cattle, and the Missouri state board of
agriculture recommended the estab
lishment of the -quarantine, which the
governor promulgated. The quaran
tine is valid, against cattle from the
following states: Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Connecticut New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio,
Indiana. Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, California, Kentucky,
and Tennessee and the Dominion of
Canada.
The Cabbage Carcmlle.
This Insect appears to have become
quite destructive in some parts of the
country, especially in the West Near
Racine, Wis., the cabbages have been
injured by it during the last few years.
b
Work of Cabbage Curcullo.
Growers claim that one of the worst
features is that the Insect carries the
spores of the cabbage rot from plant
to plant In our first Illustration wa
show the effect of the work of the
curcullo. The beetle lay3 its egg in a
puncture made In the stalk. The grub
that hatches from it bores its way
through the stalk as shown and causes
it to wilt In our second Illustration is
shown the beetle in his various forms.
The length of the beetle, it must be re
membered, is only about one-eighth
inch.
The entire body of the hibernated
specimens Is covered with a light-gray
vestlture consisting of piliform scales,
while newly bred Individuals are coat
ed with ochrous scales. The real color
below the scaly covering is black, and
the older individuals appear leaden-
gray in color, and the fresher ones
fulvous. Such a difference in colora
tion imparta to the insect quite a dis
tinct appearance.
It is probable that the cabbage cur
cullo was introduced into this country.

1 Ohio Dairy laterals.
In the state of Ohio are 800,000 milch
cows estimated at an average value of
131.00. This means an investment of
$25,000,000 in milch cows alone, and
if the farms and equipments where
these cows are kept and the cheese
and butter factories are taken into
consideration, it will be found that at
least 1500,000,000 is invested In the
dairy business in this state. By the
proper .selection of these cows and by
feeding and handling, the annual re
turns from these animals can be in
creased by several millions of dollars.
Much unnecessary loss in quality also
occurs in the manufacture of the milk
into butter, cheese and bottled prod
ucts, wheh might be saved by more in
telligent methods of operation. A loss
of one-tenth of a per cent of butter fat
in a factory receiving 10,000 pounds of
milk per day means 4,258 pounds of
butter In a year, and this at the aver
age of 20 cents per pound amounts to
$851.60, enough to pay a butter mak
er's wages. Ohio State University

of the flag fluttering, with the blue

We call the attention of our readers
to toe advertisement of Notre Dame
University, one of the great educa
tional institutions of the West, which
appears in another column of this
paper. Those of our readers who may
have occasion to look up a college for
their sons during the coming year
would do well to correspond with the
president, who will send them a cata
logue free of charge, as well as all
particulars regarding terms, courses
of studies, etc.

Gus Munch, who was one. of the
Philadelphia enumerators, is in the
toils of the "thirteen" superstition.
He was sworn In as a census enumer
ator on May 13, and finished his work
on June 13. His list included just
1313 names, and there were 13 ead
persons in as many houses when he
called. This combination of circum
stances has preyed upon his mind un
til he admits having lost 13 pounds
since the day he began work as an
enumerator. Some one asked him the
other day if he wasn't afraid he would
die inside of a year. "No, I'm not
afraid of that," replied he. "What
worries me is that I may only get
$13 -for my. work." -
Marquette, on lake Superior,
is one of the most charming summer
resorts reached via Chicago, Milwau
kee & St Paul Railway.
Its healthful location, beautiful
scenery, good hotels and complete im
munity from hay fever, make a sum

attractive from the standpoint of
health, rest and comfort

It is sometimes put in when it
should not appear and then again left
out when its presence is of great im
portance. As an illustration The Aux
iliary will present the following from
tho New York Herald: It says that a
merry party of young men about town
met in a Broadway cafe the other
evening, and the discussion 3omehow
drifted from wine and horses to enig
mas, riddles and puzzles truly a sub
ect which seldom interests men of this
class, but this particular evening they
seemed to find it fascinating.
Presently a young man with a
blonde mustache offered to bet any
man in the party that he could give a
simpls little sentence which at first
glance seemed absolutely unintelligi
ble, but upon the addition of a com
ma and the emphasis of two words
would at once become as clear as the
blue sky. As every gentleman present
had sporting blood in his veins, the
bet was at once taken up, and fives
and tens were showered upon the table
in quick order.
The young man with the blonde
mustache then put up bis money, and
the whole was deposited with the pro
prietor of the cafe. The young man
then wrote the following on a piece of
paper and passed it around:
"It was not and I said but or."
The men was to punctuate this sen
tence and emphasize the words in
such a manner as to make it read in
telligibly. A half hour was given for
the task.
Everyone began to think hard, and,
as the proprietor said, "you could al
most hear the wheels going round."
Loud talking ceased and quiet reigned,
while the young men worked like a
let of bookkeepers trying to straighten
out a shortage in their accounts. When
the half hour was up none of them
was able to write the sentence as it
should be written and many expressed
doubts that it could be made intelligi
ble at all.
The young man with the blonde
mustache smiled sweetly, and with a
few strokes of his pencil made the
sentence look like this:
"It is not 'and' I said, but 'or.'
And as he took the money some of
the voting men wondered why they
could not see it before, while a few
others even could not see it then.

Mary J. Kennedy, manager of Ar
mour fc Co.'s Exhibit at the Trans
Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, Neb.,
writes the following of Peruna, as a
cure lor that
common phase
of summer ca
tarrh, known
as indigestion.
Miss Kennedy
says:
"I found the
continua 1
chnnge of diet
incidental to
eight years
traveling com
pletely upset
in y digestive
system. In con
sulting several
physieiansthey
decided I suf
fered with ca
tarrh of the
stomach.
"Their pre
scriptions did
not seem to
help me any,
so, reading of
the remarkable
cures effected
by the use of
Peruna I decid
ed totry it and
soon found my
self well repaid.
"I have now used Peruna for about
three months and feel completely re
juvenated. I believe 1 am permanent
ly enretl, and do not hesitate to ;ive
unstinted praise to your great remedy,
Peruna."
The causes of summer catarrh are
lirst, chronic catarrh; second, derange
ments of the stomach and liver; third,
impure blood.
buch being the ease anyona who
knows anything whatever about tho
operations of l'eruna can understand
why this remedy is a permanent euro
for summer catarrh. It eradicates
chronic eatarrli from the system, invig
orates the stomach and liver, cleanses
the blood of all impurities, and there
fore permanently cures by removing tho
cause a host of maladies peculiar to
hot weather. The cause being removed
the symptoms disappear of themselves.
