"In the four years I served in the army or northern Virginia," said the old confederate, in a reminiscent mood, while chatting with friends in a Louisville hotel, "I saw more men killed than I'd care to count In the course of the war three out of the four men who were tent-mates with me were killed. Each one went down within ten feet of me, one with his head torn away with a shell, the sec ond with a minle ball that tore a great hole In his jugular vein, and the third from an overdose of bayonet, when he got at close quarters with the Yankees one afternoon at Seven Pines. My command lost 58 per cent in one bat tle, and as we usually came pretty near evening things up with the other fel lows I have been a witness at a pretty fair share of violent demises. But there is one incident that happened near the end of the war that keeps com ing back to memory, and every time I think of it I wish I had been some where else on the morning it happened. Ton know, near the close of the war, the poor, half-starved devils got to de serting pretty frequently. It was war and there was but one way to remedy it a wooden cross, the deserter and the firing squad. One morning I left my command and started over to talk to some old friends in a Mississippi regiment I got about half of the dis tance when I ran into a little body of men. Two of them had their eyes blindfolded and their arms tied be hind them. The first fellow couldn't have been more than 25. He was tall, straight as an arrow, with dark, curl ing brown hair, and his face was the handsomest and the saddest I ever saw. He was walking quietly and steady. I couldn't see his eyes, but not a muscle of his face was twitching, and his feet were planted fairly and squarely on the ground. I noticed that he wore the uniform of a captain. The second fellow had to be held up by four men. Every few steps he would fall to the ground perfectly limp, and, it seemed, lifeless. When the men would get him up he would scream and cry like a scared child. He was a great, big. raw-boned North Carolini an, and his terror would have been dis gusting if it had not been so pitiable. I followed the little procession for 100 yards to where the line of crosses stood. The captain was to be shot first As they placed him with his back to the cross he said: 'Men, you knpw me. I've led you In thirty fights, and you've never seen me shy from a gun muzzle yet, have you? I just want you to take this bandage off my eyes, and as long as I've got to die let me die like a man. I've given you the order to fire many a time, and I'd like to give my last order, if you'll let me.' The lieutenant hesitated, and then he said, 'Jack. I'll do it, if I get shot for it' They unbound his eyes. He straightened himself for a minute, took a long look all about him, and then facing his men said, in as steady a voice as I ever listened to, 'Ready! Aim! Fire!' They fired, and he pitch ed straight forward his full length, dead before he struck the ground. Then they tried to bind the Tar-heel to the cross, but he writhed and moaned and twisted away from it like a snake with a broken back. They gave it up and he was shot while he was crawling along on the ground, screaming out prayers for mercy. I heard afterward that the captain, hearing that his mother was dying, had asked leave to go to his home, which was only twelve miles away. We needed every man then, and the permit was refused. He slipped away, but be fore he got back Grant made one of his attacks on our lines. The captain's company went into action for the first time without .him at the head of it He returned for a court-martial. De serting had become too common for any excuse to be taken for it, and he was ordered to be shot the next morn ing. By some chance a detail of his own company was selected for the work, by another chance I happened to see him shot I wish I hadn't" gf Iga-Baim la KaTj. In compliance with a request of John D. Zimmerman of Topeka, Kan., the navy department has compiled statis tics of the number of foreign born en listed men in the United States navy in the Spanish-American war and at the beginning of the current fiscal year, says the Washington Times. In the Spanish war there were 2,379 for eign petty officers in the navy, of whom 1.607 were naturalised citizens of the United States and 478 had de clared their intention to become citi zens. There were 4,879 foreign-born men of other ratings, of whom 1,576 were citizens, and 1,551 had declared intentions. There were also 142 foreign born apprentice then in the service. The native-born enlisted men in the Spanish war consisted of 4,050 petty cemeers, 7,472 other enlisted men and 1.884 apprentice. The totals are: Native-born, 15.406; foreign-born, 7, 422; total in service, 22,828. By per centages the native-born comprised f par cant of the whole number, 80 per cent were citizens of the United States, and of the remainder 2f per cant had declared their intention to secosa citizen. On June St. 1908, the end of the Inst laeal year, there were 4JU patty oBBcers In the service, of whosn 17 J par cent ware native bom, 83.4 per cent naturalised, 4.5 per cent had declared intentions, 1.5 per cent were aliens resident in the United States, and 9 per cent were nonresi dent aliens, while 90.9 per cent of the whole number were citizens of the United States. There were then 9,548 other enlisted men, of whom 64 per cent were native-born, 19 per cent nat uralized, 9 per cent had declared inten tions, 3 per cent were resident aliens, and 4 per cent non-resident aliens, while 83 per cent were citizens of the United States. There were also 2,685 apprentices, 93 per cent of whom wens native-born and 7 per cent foreign born. More than 68 per cent of the whole enlisted force was native-born. nalattag Moaat Varaaav A naval officer describes in the Youth's Companion how the United States dispatch boat Dolphin saluted Mount Vernon: The navigator, looking up from his observation of the chart, turned to ward the captain, who was gazing fix edly through his binoculars, trying to make out or to make use of the nauti cal term, to "pick up" n buoy which the ship was nearlng. "Mount Vernon is just ahead, air," he said. "Very well, call all hands to quar ters," was the reply. "Sound to quarters, sir." This to the officer of the deck from the naviga tor. "Aye, aye, sir. Bugler, sound to quarters!" rung out the voice of the young officer who then had the deck. He was but lately graduated from the Naval Academy, and the hardships of sea life had not yet roughened the youthful freshness of his voice. A moment's pause, and the assembly call rung out over the silent current of the river and echoed back from the heights above its banks. The white pillars of Washington's beautiful home flashed out through the deep green of the trees high up above the ship, as the officers and men, hurrying from all parts of the vessel, ranged themselves at their quarters. "Form on the port side, facing out board!" came the sharp order from the bridge, and later. "Sound attention!" The bugle again broke the stillness. The Dolphin was now abreast of the historic home of the first chief magis trate of the country; nil hands were lined up along the port aide of the ship, standing at attention and facing the shore. As the order. "Salute!" came sharply cut and abrupt from the bridge, the right hand of every officer and man was raised to his ap, and remained there while the ship's bell rung out twenty-one slow, solemn strokes, one for each gun of a national salute. The venerable mansion, with the white pillars of its porch like gi gantic sentinels on guard, looked down from the heights through a framework of majestic trees to the river below. As an old gray-beardeo' patriarch re ceives the homage of youth, so this dig nified monument to the first head of the government seemed to receive the passing salute of the representative of the government of today. With the last stroke of the bell came the order, "Sound the retreat!" The bugle an swered, and as the last note came back from the shore, Mount Vernon disap peared behind the green of the trees. Every vessel of war of the United States passing the home of Washing ton observes this impressive ceremony. Aa Ohatractad Recently a telegraph company atrung lines on poles in front of little Fred die G 's home. Freddie was much interested in the operation and asked a great many questions about tele graph lines. His mother told him that messages were sent over the wires from one person to another. Freddie asked if these messages could be seen going over the wires, and was told that they moved much too swiftly for that Once when the wind made the wires sing he wanted to know if the noise made was not made by so many messages trying to go over the wires at one time. Recently when he went to the window and looked at the wires he cried out in delight and ran to his mother: "O, mamma," he exclaimed, as he burst into the kitchen, "do come quick and see th' message out on th' tellygraft wire! It's stuck wlte in frunt uv our house hurry!" To sat isfy him the mother accompanied him to the window and Freddie pointed out a piece of paper which had blown against the wires, and, becoming tan gled, had remained suspended.

As the new quick-firing machine guns stood the test admirably during last year's imperial German maneu vers, they will now be introduced throughout the whole German army, the regiments on the western frontier receiving them first During the ma neuvers they were used both as an aid for the infantry and as protection for the cavalry. They are mounted with springs on four-wheeled car riages drawn by four horses. The barrel Is surmounted by a bronze jack et and the Intermediate space is filled with water in order to keep the barrel cool. Each gun has a mounted soldier for the horses and four men to work It, two of them sitting on the carriage when marching and two on the ammu nition wagon. The latter contains 250 cartridges in belts which work auto matically and so rapidly that 500 to 600 shots can be flred within n minute. No aVeagar a Staaaaar. It is not generally understood that the old Pensacola, now doing duty aa a training ship while attached to the training station. Yerba Buena island, San Francisco harbor. Is no longer a steamer. Her machinery and boilers were removed several years since, and the space formerly occupied by them has been utilized as living and drftl space for the crew and recruits. The. vessel Is fitted up with all the modern appliances for comfort electric light throughout an efficient ventilating system, a carefully installed steam heating system, and in a general way everything has been placed on board the Pensacola which sanitary and medical science has suggested for th comfort of the enlisted men. avatatlaaary War A revolutionary war claim for 46f , the original value of which waa 846.99, contracted under the act of 1779, has just beeen liquidated by the treasury department The Interest and prin cipal amounted to $U.9HM.

When ever an animal becomes aitected, the germs multiply by the million In its system, and their liberation, through natural or artificial means, tends to preserve, increase, or spread the Infec tion. In the large pastures of the West and Southwest an affected animal Is rarely noticed until after death, when the swarms of buzzards or other birds of prey indicate that there is "some thing dead," and an investigation is made. It is then frequently too late to attempt to prevent the spread of in fection, for wolves and other vermin usually attack the carcass in short or der, without even waiting for the ani mal to die, and only the bones and pieces of the hide are found scattered over an acre or more of ground. In more densely populated districts, where n sick animal is readily discov ered, there Is often an inclination to "doctor" the animal, usually by means of a jackknife, and the result is the same as in the other case the infec tion is scattered uroadcast from in cisions made In the affected part In some districts the cattle that die from blackleg are skinned in order at least to save the hide, and the re maining parts of the carcass are left to take care of themselves. This pro cess naturally assists in scattering the Infection. It is therefore of the utmost importance that catle owners in the In fected districts be made to realize that an animal affected with blackleg may be the causa of large subsequent leases from the same disease, maybe not Im mediately, but within a period of yearn to follow, and it can not be recom mended too urgently that they make every effort to reduce the danger by taking adequate measures to destroy the germs and remove the danger of renewed Infection. For this purpose the French scien tists recommend various methods, some of which, however, are imprac ticable under the conditions which ob tain In the Infected districts of this country. They propose, for instance, to place the dead animals in n tank of sulphuric add until completely dis solved. Where wood is plentiful the best method is to cremate the carcass. In order to insure Its complete destruc tion, the dead animal should be placed on a couple of logs and plenty of dry wood heaped around it A-couple of quarto of kerosene oil should then be poured on and fire set to It. It is nec essary that the carcass be entirely de stroyed; if any part of-it remains, an other fire should be built over it In a pasture where wood is scarce, the carcass may be burled. This meth od is always more or less unsatisfac tory, as the infection is not destroyed but merely removed to n few feet be low the surface, whence it may return through various means of egress for Instance, as demonstrated by Pasteur, through the agency of the earthworms. It is therefore of importance that the hole in the ground be made at least 6 feet deep and the carcass well covered with lime before the earth is filled In. The lime has no special germicidal ef fect on the blackleg bacillus but may present the infection from being car ried to the surface. The place where the animal was lying before being bur ied, as well as the top of the grave, should be freely sprinkled with a 2 per cent solution of creolln, or any of the carbolic sheep dips or disinfectants which are guaranteed to contain thy mol or eucalyptoL The two latter sub stances are especially recommended by the French scientists because of their destructive action on the blackleg germs. Nattaaal Meat laspactlaa. The live stock and meat Inspection service of the Bureau of Animal In dustry has had a phenomenal growth and now constitutes the larger part of its work. Meat inspection was carried on, in the fiscal year 1900. at 148 pack ing houses and abattoirs, situated in forty-five different centers. The total number of antemortem Inspections of animals was 53,087,994. This comprised 9,656,762 inspections of cattle, 9,854,732 of sheep, 559.735 of calves, 33,011,205 of hogs, and 5,560 of horses. The number of animals rejected, subject to post mortem Inspection, was 159.519. The actual number of animals inspected before slaughter was 34,840,374, against 3,809,459 in 1892, an increase of 31,030, 915, or 815 per cent The postmortem inspection of 34,737,613 animals re sulted in the condemnation of 61,906 carcasses and 30,346 parts of carcasses. The Bureau In 1899 inspected micro scopically 108,928,195 pounds of pork for export, as against 38,152,874 pounds in 1892, when microscopical inspection was begun, an increase of 70,775,321 pounds, or 186 per cent In 1900, how ever, but 55,809,626 pounds were in spected, or only about half as mush aa in 1899. n.- Qaalttr mt Kaaca Horsaa, It has been evident for a good many years that the quality of ranch horses Is improving. The Introduction onto tne range of high-bred stallions has had a marked effect The ranch owners a dozen years ago saw the need of im proving the quality of their stock and recognized the ease with which it could be done. A few Percheron and Clyde sires were introduced on different ranches and the range sires were sent to market In a year or two after that the colts were noticed to be of a su perior type. Now the products of such mating are competing with Eastern bred horses in our own and in the Ca nadian markets. Recently in Toronto a good many of these range colts have been disposed of at auction. At one sale forty-two colts were sold, the prices received varying from 840 to 8120. These prices were low and at them the animals went quickly. The cause of the "wilt" disease of cotton, which has been more or less destructive during the past two or three seasons, is a fungus which at tacks the plant from th soiL It first enters the small roots and subsequent ly grows Into the tap, or stem. The result is that the supply of food and moisture carried up from the roots is greatly decreased. W. A. Ortonof the division .of vegetable physiology and pathology.

Hearing of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she began to use them, and instantly no ticed a change for the better. Her Im provement has been continuous since then. She says that the disease first manifested itself by the appearance of dark spots floating before her eyes. Her nerves were so bad that many times they would collapse completely, and she would fall down as if shot The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills saved her after four doctors bad given her up, has caused no end of talk In thia neighborhood, and all are loud in their praises of this new remedy Dodd's Kidney Pills which is curing so many hitherto incurable cases, in this state and elsewhere.

She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, hut not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi tated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very em bairassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, eren to her family physician. This Is the reason why hundreds of thousand of women are now in corre spondence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom; so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. lMiikhan, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Bis Rice, Cbelsaa, Wis., writes: MpsiaWas.
