Selected. flaw a Hoi Her Was Made In the whole .United States army there is no officer who possesses to a greater degree the confidence and re spect of the men .that have served un der him than General Adna R.

"I'm afraid; that's what is the mat ter with me," said the soldier dogged ly. The general twisted the soldier about, to get a good look at his face, which had grown set and angry, soft ened at what he saw. "How old are you?" he asked. "Seventeen," said the frightened soldier. "Why, you'r nothr inr ht a child." cried Gen. Chaffee "I'd like to get hold of thtf fellow tbafc, enlisted you." He stood tmnKing iov a moment while the boy sniffed. "Now see here," he said kind!- "You- can't help being frightened, I sttppoee.- But there lsn t neany bu mutu us' as you think there is.

"That's a little high," said his instructor. "Try it lower, and take a little more time to aim. There's a Spaniard in that green thicket straight up in front of you, I think." After three or four shots the young soldier got his nerve stopped trembling and began to shoot with some accuracy and .judgmenL "That's better." said Gen. Chaffee, as he moved away. "Stay there and do your best." Nine officers out of ten would have sent the youngster to the rear in disgrace and ruined his army career. Gen. Chaffee's method was the better in every way. The boy fought like a veteran through the af ternoon, and when the order came to withdraw he had to be dragged away by his companions, though he had been fighting for more than an tour with a bullet wound in his shoulder. He said that Gen. Chaffee had told him to stay there and ho was going to stay. The wound was a trifling one and before the campaign was over the boy had the reputation of being one of the best soldiers in his com pany. He is now a corporal and is serving in the Philippines. Women In the Philippine. Clarence Ellis, of Company I. Sixth United States Infantry, an Indianapo lis boy, who is 8t San Carlos, Negros island, in the Philippines, has written a letter to friends in this city, says the Indianapolis News, in which he says: "The fighting is over, but our work here still seems to be undone. The district I am in is about ten miles square and two or three times a week we are sent out into the mountains to hike around and let the natives know we are here. If Uncle Sam would order the Spaniards here to pull up stakes and go to hades, or some other sea port, it would not be long until the natives were civilized and all right. Speaking about civilizing the natives, there has been a decided change in cos tumes worn by the mountain maidens since we arrived. When we arrived in San Carlos, last October, the women wore very little clothing of any kind But now you ought to see our "Black Four Hundred" turn out for church on Sunday morning. It is amusing to sit here' in front of quarters and watch the progress of our new wards. When the women first started to church, under our protection, their dress was com posed of one 'kirf tied around the waisL coming down to about the knees, and this 'kirf was made of any sack. But this is all changed. Now they arc wearing silk dresses, striped stockings (the louder the stripes the better), slippers with green bows, and many other American 'fixens. The men are Improving almost as rapidly as the women, and both are 'catching on' in a hurry. As this is presidential year, I presume politics is growing warm in the States. We are soldiering and, of course, do not express our political opinions, but we think a good deal and sometimes out loud.

Armored Train. The IndJret works have just finished the const7-uction of an armored train intended 'for the French army. Unlike the armo red trains in use in the South African war, the new wheeled fortress is coradDsed of wagons cylindrical in I shape, Instead of the quadrangular form used in the English army. The separate cars are so constructed that they may be "telescoped" one into the other, if required, in such a way that tine train may, at a moment's notice, ei.feicr lessen, or prolong its length, ac cording to Hhe resistance manifested portion of it is incased in a massive steel cuirass. The rear of the train is protected by a similar armor device. 'he cow train is about 1G0 feet long. Its maximum speed is SO miles an hour. Seen in movement from a dis tance tTiis new engine of war resembles a monster serpent gliding across the earth by the simple motion of its coils. The Wocld's Highest Gun. The feun guarding the harbor in New York isthe largest in the world. It is no lesstthan a ton and a half heavier than aity other gun in existence, and will throw a shell weighing 2,350 pounds, .-while the weight of the pow der required for each charge is 1,500 pounds. It is said to carry sixteen miles, arid every time it is fired means an expenditure of $1,000, and it can be flrcfi oace in everv two minutes. The cost,of making was more than $125,000 tha totalexpense, including its arma ment) and placing it in the harbor, amounting to $500,000. The gun is so large- that a man could crawl into it through the muzzle, and so capacious that ."fifty isoldiers could shelter inside it. 'A hurdred horses could barely drawMts burden of 126 tons, and two and a half battalions of infantry could uotvparry ita dozen yards. Good Army Story. It is an old army story that tells how two men of the guard did so we11 that the adjutant was unable to de cide which of them Avas entitled to bi detailed as orderly. Finally he found that the tip of the bayonet scabbard 01 one was cleaner and brighter than that of the other, whereupon he chose the man with the brisght tip. The Second division of the cadets at An napolis won the right to carry the colors in very much the same way. The contest had lasted through the entire year; the Second and Third divisions were tied in everything. FinaKy the Second division beat the Third at baseball. That was the brighl tip, and the Second division will "have the colors" for a year. . Farctrat 'aral legislation. In the British Naval and Military XCecord it is stated that it is becoming an interesting problem as to how long the annual farce of voting battleships which can never be laid down is to csntinuc. Each year the first lord ol the admiralty presents to parliament a ship building program which he sol emnly treats as though it was likely to be realized. He estimates the cost of the operations and the house of commons votes the money, which will not in any ?ase be spent in the way directed. Although money may be voted for ship building, it by no menas follows that it will be expended on construction. Do? as Bed Cross Workers. By far the most interesting service performed by dogs on German battle fields is that of ambulance and bearer work. Scotch collies are used for this purpose, and wear a saddle with a large red cross on" it, and attached to this is a flask and dressing for wounds. The dogs arc so beautifully schooled they will scent a man who in the ordi nary course would have been over looked by the bearers and perhaps left to die. Cavalry Anions Mountains. The enterprising Japanese are among the first to carry into practical effect the lessons of the Transvaal .war. Attention has been called to the im portance of good cavalry in mountain ous districts, and before long .a great improvement will be effected in this arm. CaTalryaaea Mast Be Uat. In enlisting for the cavalry, recruit ing officers never accept an enlistment from a man who weighs over 165 pounds, while for infantry or artillery recruits who weigh up to 190 pounds are accepted.

Ua-to-Data Blats Abeat Cal- UvaUoa of tha Soil and Ttolda Thereof Hertlcaltura, VlUoaltare aad Flericaltare. The Achemon Fplilno Scientifically this is called Philam pelus achemon. The caterpillar cf this moth frequently devours all the fol iage of the Virginia creepers, and strips whole canes of the grape. In nurseries the damage is frequently very great, as one of the large cater pillars can kill numerous young vines in a short time. Hand-picking is in all cases the most satisfactory and simple remedy. The full-grown cater pillar of this irisect is usually found towards the latter part of August and early in September. It is a large larva, measuring about four inches when crawling; at rest it measures much less, as the first two smaller segments are partly withdrawn in the much larger third segmenL The caterpillar varies in color from pale straw-color to reddish brown, the color growing darker and deep-brovn towards the under side. When this caterpillar is ready to transform to a pupa It changes to a beautiful pink or crim son color. The young larva is green, with a long and slender horn rising from the eleventh segment and curv ing over the back. In the older Imd fully grown specimens, this long born has disappeared, and in its place is found a highly-polished lenticular tub ercle. The fine-looking moth is brownish gray, variegated with light brown, and with deep brown spots. The hind wings are pink, with a dark shade across the middle, still darker spots below this shade and a broad gray band behind. This showy insect Is found throughout the United States and Canada, or wherever the grape is cultivated, or where the Virginia creeper is utilized to decorate our dwelling places. In the illustration "a" is the moth, "b" the egg, "c" the young larva, "d" the mature larva, "e" the pupa, "f" the parasitized larva all one-half natural length. Horticultural Observations. Orchardists too frequently become discouraged at receiving no profits from their orchards for a number of year3. The tendency is in such cases to neglect the orchard and permit it to become a meadow, or, worse, a pas ture. Yet a man can well afford to care for his orchard for years if, at the end of that time, he can market one large crop under favorable condi tions for prices. m Every orchardist should make him self familiar with the fruit-crop con ditions of each year. In that way only can he know how raluable is the fruit hanging en his trees. A few years ago, when everything pointed to the prob ability of high prices for apples, the farmers in some counties almost gave away their apples. Buyers that under stood the conditions bought up crops on the trees at 10 cents per bushel and made enormous profits out of the transaction. The growers thus failed to get their part of the profits. What shall it profit a man to spend money and time in planting an orchard and bringing it into bearing and then give away its product? The grower should get more out of it than any other per son; yet it is too often the middleman that gets all the profits. It is not unusual for a well-cared-for apple orchard to produce in one year a ciop that is worth more than the farm on which it is grown. An officer con nected with the state department of agriculture of Virginia tells of one orchard there that contains 750 apple trees, and last year produced a crop worth ?4,200. This is an average of $5.60 per tree That may be considered to be a profitable orchard, yet there are numerous orchards in the country with as good records. For several years now apples have been bringing a good price on the market, and In dications point to the probability that prices will be good for many years to come. The foreign trade in apples is constantly increasing and the home de mand is always good. The man that has land adapted to apple growing will do well to utilize it for that purpose. Italstne Smalt CJrala. (Condensed from Farmers' Review Sten ographic Report of Wisconsin Round-up Institute.) W. C. Bradley spoke on raising small grains. In part he said: First, clean land free from foul seeds such as wild oats, mustard, pigeon grass or other matter that is likely to occupy part of the ground that is needed. We can not grow a crop of grain and weeds at the same time, yet thousands of acres are sown to grain every year that when harvested con tain from 10 to 50 per cent of unsal able trash. A careful rotation of crops and good cultivation will keep our land free from weeds. Our seed should be selected with great care from land that has produced a big crop of clean, plump, heavy seed. Light or shrunk en seed has not the vitality to grow strong plants under adverse conditions, although it might give a good crop under favorable conditions. The third requisite is a fertile soil with the ele ments of fertility in the right propor tion. Soils that have been made fer tile by barnyard manure often contain too much nitrogen which grows rank straw that lodges, making us much trouble in harvesting and giving a shrunken kernel which shows a lack of silica and phosphoric acid in the soil. How to overcome this has been a study with many farmers, but no sat isfactory solution has been offered that will grow a good crop in a wet year. Sowing salt at the rate of 150 to 200 pounds per acre is said to help some sods. Many farmers advocate thick seeding on such land, as the straw is not so apt to grow fank as when sown thin. On well-drained land which con tains plenty of vegetable matter or humus which acts as a sponge to hold the moisture which the young plant uses in its growth, the preparation of the seed bed is easy, because the land is in good mechanical condition and it will plow easy and, when the pul aaaaaaaVil lJSSI.1 1 amNi raBaKs3'a(c- laaal w" :9aaaaVBni C 1 laaaal jjJ6alHBC?hvPaaaaaaw WW verisers and harrows are put oa the surface, will work up mellow and free from lumps easily. If the weather is good cutting should begin a day or two before wa think it Is just ripe, as there is always mora danger from shrinking the first day. and if we use the straw for feed the early cut is much the besL But la case of wet weather we must be care ful in shocking oats or barley cut green, as they are slow to dry out and may mould in the shock. I like to put up shocks of twelve bundles, a round shock of ten bundles and two caps. If properly put up, these shocks will stand considerable rain without much damage, and we can usually begin stacking after a rain than if uncapped. Stacking should be done as soon as possible after the cutting is finished. Do not wait to help your neighbor thrash out of the shock. In stacking be sure to keep the center of the stack higher at all times than the outside; then the outside bundles will have a good pitch, and this is of more im portance than to have the stack look smooth. A great deal of grain is wasted every year by poor stacking. Teach the boys how to stack, and do not depend on a stranger. He may or may not know how to build a stack that will shed water and lt is then too late to get some one else. Stacked grain is usually better than that threshed from "the shock on account of its sweating in the stack. Q. How do you stack grain? Mr. Bradley I, can't tell you how I stack it, except 'that the stacks are round and are kept full In the middle. I make a stack that sheds water. Mr. Bradley I use a fork, and stack on my knees. The worst trouble with the stacking of many men is that they allow the stack to remain quite flat, and the center settles the hardest, and the bundles turn the wrong way. Mr. Arnold Farmers should all stack with the fork. I stacked all my grain last year and did it with a fork, and it is the best Job on the farm. It Is a mistake to run up the stacks too high. Mr. McKerrow The secret of good stacking is to keep the middle fulL Artistic Doll Homes. There is something new under the sun, and it can be seen at the Fine Arts building any of these days. Miss Elizabeth Gordon, a well-known Evanston girl of large private means, is responsible for this novelty, which has taken the form of an exhibition of modern aesthetic and artistic doll houses and doll furniture. For a long time Miss Gordon's sense of the eter nal fitness of things has been dis turbed by the doll houses owned and played with by the little children of her acquaintance. She found the structures inconvenient and clumsy, their fittings ugly and the whole neither conducive to good taste in the child nor pleasure. So setting to work with an able car penter among several other dwellings Miss Gordon has built the Craigie house out of Boston owned by the Longfellows. The exterior is three feet high, five in length and complete from gable windows, shingles and porch pillars to the brass knocker on the front door. The bedrooms are walled in flowered dimities, have Swiss dressing tables, curtains, portieres, chintz covered chairs and divans and tiled communicating baths. The dining-room is in Flemish oak, the li brary in rich red, with tall lamps, candelabra, colonial furniture and vel vet carpets. The drawing-room is a French affair of rose and gold, with a baby grand piano in iL The furni ture and the hangings are made by young women to whom Miss Gordon gives employment, and the whole ex hibition, which has been very largely attended, has almost driven the little girls crazy who have gone there with their mammas. Dolls in character are also a feature of the show and special pieces of doll furniture in artistic an tique shapes can be ordered by small housekeepers. Miss Gordon calls her settlement of modern doll houses the Crawford houses, and she considers her "shooting box" and its furnish ings the smartest of her collection. Canker. Canker 'is another form of roup. It often starts at the base of the tongue and windpipe, and quite frequently smothers them, as it collects a white cheesy substance, very tough and leathery. This is the worst form ol roup, and is sometimes called diph theria. Take a stick and scrape out all this white substance, then apply a little subsulphate of iron or chlorate of potash. Wet your finger in water, insert in the dry potash and apply on the sore. Ako use pulverized alum, magnesia and sulphur, equal parts, ap plying it with an insect powder gun in the throat and nostrils. Another form is when the eyes swell ana a leathery cheese forms in them. The best remedy is the hatchet, yet some cases can be cured. Take the patient, wash the head good with warm salt water, give them a little pine tar and put a littlo on base of beak, and batbe the swollen parts with kerosene and sweet oil. Treat them daily, feed good strong feed, and they will probably show a change for the better in six or seven days. Give them good fresh water to drink, with a little copperas in it; about a tcaspoonful to a gallon ofwater. The above are the best rem edies for roup I know of. There are many remedies that are claimed to cure roup without handling the birds, but thus far I have never found any thing that did any good but kerosene and pine tar; they will do it. It is well to put a little in the drlnkms water. It won't hurt them. B. H. Westlake. KTeadoirs to Re Reseeded. It is the observation of the writer that there are large numbers of mead ows that badly need reseeding.

O 1 C When a preparation has an adver tised reputation that is world-wide, lt means that preparation is meritorious. If you go into a store to buy an article that has achieved universal popularity like Cascarets Candy Cathartic for ex ample, you feel it has the endorsement of the world. The Judgment of tha people is infallible because lt is im personal The retailer who wants to sell you "something else" in place of the article you ask for, has an ax to grind. Don't it stand to reason? He's trying to sell something that Is not what he represents it to be. Why? Because he expects to derive an ex tra profit out of your credulity. Are you easy? Don't you see through his little game? The man who will try and sell you a substitute for CASCAR ETS is a fraud. Beware of him! He is trying to steal the honestly earned benefits of a reputation which another business man has paid for, and if his conscience will allow him to go so far, he will go farther. If he cheats his cus tomer in one way, he will in another and it is not safe to do business with him.
