DAUGHTER OF A REGIMENT.
- = Julia Cosby Black , A9c Six , and Ilcr Troop of
Sweethearts.
The youngest , t e tlnlcsl , the preltlest
daughter of any regiment in the United
Stntca Is Mss Julia Cosby Dinck of the
Fourth Mlasourl Volunteer Infantry , Miss
Julia is six years old , but If she should live
to be a hundred she will never ho more ad.
mired among men than she is today. No
young lndy In all Missouri , her native stale ,
has to many sweethearts , and the best of
ft Is they all love her in a deligltitdly sincere -
cero and manly fashion. Miss Corby's regiment -
ment Is at Camp Alger , Galls Church , Vlr-
glnig , but on account of circumstances over
which she lies no control , this daughter of
a regiment is at her home al Canoliton.
Diu
MIs Julia's father is Captain Joseph A
1 ( Slack , of the Fourth Missotirl and It ls
now nlmost two years since hla little
daughter was mustered In.
Thu formal part of the ceremony look
place on August 14 , 1890 hrlgndler Genernl
Mlllon Moore of Kansas City , now colonel
of lone Fifth Missouri Volunteer Infantry ,
f made the speech of the occasion.
I Thu alto of the camp tune an ideal one for
beauty. On returning from tlto parade
to carry little twigs and the materials of
which nests are made , but unless they are
Instructed In the art of building they will
just drop them in a pile and never attempt
to weave them into nests ,
It is after the young birds have learned
to fly that the older ones regularly teach
them the process of interweaving and lining
that is necessary to construct nests. This is
most complicated and a trade pecutlnrly
their own ; It cannot be Imitated even by
men. To arrange the little twigs so that
they will be symmetrical and strong enough
to hold the weight of the mother bird nod
four or five little ones to a branch of n tree
requires good engineering ability. The
1n-
material than that of which the outside is
node , and to place this neatly is also taught
by the older birds. humming birds will
often follow cows for days to pick up their
soft hair with which to line their nests and
they weave It as compactly as a piece of
flannel , ilirds that have always been In
cages can never make nests and are altlably
clumsy even with cotton , wool and material
that has been given to them.
That nast building is taught is also true

JULIA CROSBY BLACK.
1 ground ( lint evening the ofllcers of the regiment -
ment and visitors In camp gathered about
Colonel Corby's headquarters , according In ,
r ' , previous notice. General Moore stepped for-
, ward In ulna circle and In an easy , but elm
gneit way , spoke of the object for whlcl.
the meeting was held ; or the European
origin of the beautiful custom cf adopting
a "child of the regiment ; " of the sIGn111-
cauco of the act ; If necessary the regiment
would be her guardian and champion
throughout her life.
Thu ccremouy was remarkable for charm-
log simplicity and lnfurmtil dignity , and
' ' General Moore's speech was in a most happy
vein. At the conclusion of his short address -
dress , General Moore took up ( ho Ilttla girl ,
'who was just 4 years old then , saluted her
with a kiss and presented her to Colonel
Cosby and officers as "daughter of the
' Fourth Reghnent : ' Colonel Cosby and his
whole staff eulhuslastlcally followed tine nx
maple of General Moore , She was that
carried round the camp by members of corm-
pnny A and was received with hcaity
cheers by each company in camp ; all preparations -
arations for supper were temporarily ihnn-
tinned to give her an ovation ,
Miss Julia bore her tenors with becoming
self-possession during the encampment , ox-
ed It perhaps on one occasion ; during a sham
battle a cannot was wheeled Into position
quite near her and firing was begun , 'rho
only avenue of retreat was blockaded by a
dense crowd. She became terror-stricken
and began screandng and praying : " 0 Dod !
O 1)0d Vse so 'frold I don't know what to
do , " In ( lint respect she was no doubt Illce
I ninny ml older soldier , but more frank In
confessing ( lie truth.
She has nttented since then the encamp-
meat of 1597 at Moberly , Mo. , and visited
the camp at Jefferson barracks , St. Louis ,
recently , where the Fourth Missouri volunteers -
teers were mustered Into the United States
army , From there she , with her mother and
younger Sister , accompanied her father as
far as Cincinnati oil lda way toward Washington -
ington , D. C.
Just before the mobilization of the Fourth
at , St. I.ouls alto took part In a flag presente

well as bees , wasps and ants.
The green ant of Australia is very clever
in the building of its nest. It appears to
consider It an irksome duty that can be
hired out. A small spider is therefore
trained to do this work and acts as a servant
in all things. The green ants pay the spiders -
ers for their labors in a coin that they enjoy ,
It. Is by giving then to eat a portion of the
Innumerable little eggs that they , the spiders -
ders , lay. This Is a most agreeable arrange-
nieut for all , man Included , as olherwlse the
green ants would rival the rabbits In overrunning -
running Australia. The bursting of their
nests is dreaded almost as much as that of
a hornet's. They come out In great numbers
and do Immense damage to plants and
shrubs.
In West Africa there Is a species of ape ,
commonly known as the nest-building ape.
They build their nests of branches of trees
and leaves that overlap each other , so as to
be perfectly water-tight. In this case they
suspend them from the trees upside down
maul sit under them during the heavy
storms. About every ten or fifteen days ,
or as soon as the leaves have become too
dry to longer resist the water , they build
new ones. It. is quite a tedious labor , but
not < arduous. These apes therefore teach
tine deformed and weak ones among them to
do this nest building. When It Is not done
properly they are denied lhelr portlou of pie
food that the stronger apes have procured ,

PORTItA1T MISS EULA VAUGIIAN ,
mess which many a distinguished professional -
sional might cultivate to advantage. It must
not be thought that her efforts are the result -
sult of powers of muslcal mimicry. for she
plays with an expression that Is altogether
her own , and her touch lies a strength and
firmness that Impresses one with ( be re.
markable fact that so young a child should
be possessed of such Individuality ,
The story of her brief life and unusual
abilities Is of exceeding Interest. When
first her parents learned she could play ,
they began to listen to her and encourage
her. In the beginning she would play certain -
tain chords pt her own composition , and
( ben harmonize thesa chords , until , executed
together , lbo effect was charming melody ,
Mr , Vaughan has a brother who Is a professional -
fessional musician , and one day he happened
to be present whep Eula played a selection
of bee owe como5ltlon , IIo wrote down
v , . - - - -
gliirew
the music as she played , and the result Is
one of the sweetcat of gospel hymns called ,
"Jesus Loses the Children , " This was really
the beginning of her reputation as a cant-
poaer , and since then she has given to the
home world bita of music ( lint savor unmistakably
takably of genius ,
In orchestrntlon the child seems to be
nartlcttlnrly al her ease , as was evinced by
the fact , that at the Ins ( conunencemnent of
John Gibson institute at Bowman she played
the piano accompaniment to the orchestra
without a single error , although she had
never heard of the music until the orchestra
lender played it over for her n few momenta
before the time crone for her to render It.
Eula's touch Is remarkably sweet , and
her execullon very clear , She Is pretty and
rather spirituelle In appearance , Ilcr whole
being scema to be in the most perfect accord -
cord with the music and when she Is either
playing or singing the little taco is fairly
transfigured ,

That at present there Is a possibility of
the greatest of volcanoes , Mauna Log , in
Honolulu , coming Into activity again , the
legend connected with its last eruption is
brought strongly to mhul ,
No other volcano has over equalled Mauna
Loa ht the volume of lava it has dlachnrged
In its principal eruptions , nor is any other so
dreaded , for in Its stream flow death and de-
strellon. Tle mountain has , however , the
tam instinct of chivalry and Invariably
gives warulug to ( le hundreds of sugar
planters about Its base when its intentions
are hostile. This warning is conveyed by
time badslt steam that rises from its crater
null whtlch Is always followed by a flood of
red lmot lava. Mauna Lea is giving this
warming now.
At the time of Its great eruption in ISSO-St
the lava burst from the sides at the moun-
taln as well as Its crater and caused a river
of lava to ( low for ulna months , which varied
in width from three tulles to a few hundred
yards. It ran n distance of fifty miles.
P9nally It reached time outskirts of the town
of Milo , whose Inhabitants were calmly
awaiting their doom.
It vas then ( lint the young princess at the
reIgnIng house In Honolulu determined to
test ( lie cllicacy of the well known legend
of the mountain , The legend was ( lint if a
young and beautiful princess should array
herself as a bride omd surround herself with
ntteminnts that would form a procession mum
climb the mountain w Ith her , she could then ,
by approaching the crater and throwing in
a sacred white pig , appease the wrath of the
mountaln and cause It to be .
Thds was , in fact , no simple task , for , beside -
side the physical endurance , ! t was necessary -
sary to dodge the boiling lava on the mnoun-
lain slde. The white pig also grow heavy
and restless In the arms of the princess ,
lie chafed under ( lie garlands of 11owers vvhtlm
whiclm he was decorated , 'three times on
this stranj'm expedition the pig escaped , but
was caught again by ( Ito attendants of the
princess , After much labor she reached time
summit crater , turd , with a supreme effort of
strengths and courage , cnst the squeallsmg pig
into the awful depth below. The descent
was made slowly ; all chanting praises to the
mountaln ,
Mama Loa npprecialed the sacrifice of the
princess , and was generous , Many European -
pean visitors , as well as the nntives , still
tell how tint evening the 11ow of lava became -
came sluggishs anti ceased to move. IIilo
was saved. In 1SSS-92 the mountaln was
slightly active , but with those exceptions it
has been true to the superstitlor of the
people.

Tie late Dfll Nye was fond of telling this
story of hls smaller daughter : At a dinner -
ner table one day there was a party of
guests for whom Mr. Nye was doing ] ds best
In the way of entertainment. A lady
turned to the little girl.
"Your father Is a very funny man , " said
she.
she."Yes
"Yes , " responded the child , "when we
liavo company , "
"What are you going to be when you
crow up ? " asked an Inquiring citizen of the
4-year-old boy next door , and the boy answered -
swered after some consideration : "I am
going to be a man ! "
And the inquiring citizen said ho thought
( lint was a good Idea.
An angry small boy was pelting stones al
a noisy dog , when a venerable passerby
stopped and addressed him. "Little boy , "
time stranger remonstrated , "don't you know
you shalt be kind to dumb animals ? "
"Yes , " replied the angry boy , "but what's
dumb animals got to do with yelping dogs ? "
While teaching a class In Sunday school
recently the teacher asked : "R'hat was
Noah supposed to be doing when the animals -
mals were going Into the erlc ? "
She received several answers , At last
a little girl put up her hand ,
'Veil , " she asked , "what do you say ? "
"Taking the tickets , miss , " said she ,
Little Frances , at the age when long-
legged , short-Crocked children arc colloquially -
quially termed tots , has a genius for big
words , which she usually fits well to place ,
says the Chicago Post , Ilcr voice Is heavy ,
giving Johnsonlan ponderousness to all she
says , She reported to her mother ( lint one
of her playmates bad made a horrible face
at her ,
" 11'hy , my dear , " the sympathetic listener
said , "how could Frank do that ? "
"Ito did it , nimnma ; ho did It with Iun-

Thin successful surgeon is not likely to bo
flattered by the offer of any position in
time United Slates army whichm can be given
1ihn , yet there ore dozcna of surgeons among
the recent volunteers who have gone into
the service knowing that it meant the loss
of tive slxths of their income during the
time they remained in the army. Such enl-
neat specialists as Dr. Nicholas Senn of
Chicago and Dr. John lhuiterna of l'htladel
phia are now serving their country , in unl-
form , with the mule ono modest emolutuenls
i of su gleal otllcers. Dtany others of more
or less note all over the cuuutry have sacrificed
rificed incomes two or three ( lines as great
ns they will receive In the army , and have
run the risk of injury to their practices
In order to serve in the present ( var. iu'
fact Uncle Sam's surgical service can cldini
the highest atlalnments in several special
( lines likely to prove very Important m uus
wnr ,
"The Inipnrtnnce of laving the highest
professional skill available in behalf of the
wounded may be Judged , " says Surgeon General -
eral Sternberg , "from the fact that In the
civil war for every eleven non killed ht
battle seven 'died of their w'ounds' or 'died
In hospitals , ' according to the records. Antiseptic -
tiseptic surgery and skillful operators should
make it possible for us to improve on that
record In this war , "
.troy laperlempe 'nlanble ,
Another consideration , aside from patriotism -
ism , that many have lied an Influence in
bringing sonic emlueut practitioners Into time
service is the opportunity for valuable ex-
. 'rltis army have been of welghl
in the case of Dr. Senn , who is now lit
charge of tie medical department at Cauip
Thomas ,
It is precisely In operations for gun shot
wounds and especially for those wounds of
the abdomen which were conceded to be
fatal in the war of 1881.5 ( lint Dr , Senn
has umade his most interesting discoveries.
Lithe known in the east outside of his pro-
fcsslon , he is one of the most popular surgeons -
geons in Chicago amt In Milwaukee , where
lie made n reputation before his removal to
the western utetropolls. Some of Ur. Scan's
friends say ( lint. It Is duo mainly to its
influcuce that Mrs. L , T. Leiter of Chicago
has purchased the Chlckamauga I'ark lintel ,
at Crawllsh Springs , and offered it to the
war department to be used as a general
hospital. The gift 4s to be coumemorgted
in the name , "The Leiter United States
General Hospital , " hcstowcd on time only
institution of Its kind in the country. Sonic
magnificent demomstrntions , perhaps discoveries -
eries , in the surgery of gun shot woods
may he mantle there , it Is believed , before
the close of the war ,
It is probnblo that Dr. Senn received front
his private practice not less thins ten times
what his pay in tine aervlco will be. Twenty
times might conic nearer to the correct hg-
tires. This Is certainly no lightsacriflce ,
for a professional man to make ,
Dr. Senn was at one tlme surgeon-general
of the ' Visconsln national guard and while
in that position ho conceived the idea of
organizing the Association of Military Surgeons -
geons of floe United States. The society
was formed In 1891 , and Dr. Senn became its
president. The association has been of
valuable service in the preseut wnr nod is
likely to grow far beyond Its original plans.
Grndes of Arnty Surgeons ,
The chief surgical officer of the UnIted
States , Brigadier General Sternberg , is a
physician of high attalumcnts unu nn In.
vestlgalor of originality and daring in the
obscurer germ diseases. Dr. Sternberg's
researches in the bacteriology of pneunnonla
have attracted great attention In the pro-
fession. On account of the professional
standing whlctt lie has given the army service -
ice many an ambitions young surgeon is
glad to serve under him even if he does
have to sacrifice nine-tenths of his Income
for the sake of the country ,
Next to time surgeon general comes , In ( ho
medical department , the assistant surgeon
general , who has the rank and pay of a
colonel in the army. The incumbent , Colonel
Greenleaf , is now with General Mlles , The
next grade Is the deputy surgeon general
with the rank of lieutenant colonel. There
are ten deputy yurgenn generals in the regular -
lar service , and seven have recently been
appointed in ( lie volunteer service with time
title of "chief surgeon" and the rank of
lieutenant colonel , It is to this grade that
Dr. Senn has been appointed ,
The next grade is that of surgeon , with
the rank of major ; there are fifty of these in
the regular service. Their pay ( s $2,600 per
year. It is this position which the New
Yorker , quoted at the beginning of this article -
cle , had reference to and which many other
young surgeons have accepted in spite of tlio
loss of from two to ten times that sum in
yearly income and the prospect of much personal -
sonal discomfort ,
A largo number of such appointments have
been made In the volunteer service , The
men have the rank of "chief surgeons" and
serve as chiefs with divlslons. Every tegl
merit of the regulars has a surgeon with
the rank maul pay of major ; next below them
are the assistant surgrous , the lowest grade
In the deport.nent. The curious diversity
In regular amid volunteer grades is shown
in time presideut's appointments Juno 4 of
assistant surgeons with the rank of captain
to be brigade surgeons with the rank of
major ; among these appointments train civil
life was the noted yellow fever expert , Dr.
Gulteras of Philadelphia , bacteriologist of
the Unlversity of Pennsylvania end for some
years connected wltli the Marine hospital
service ,
Iondon tGrttlt lams ,
In spite of what those eminent specialists
expect to accomplish by nnlisepllo treatment
of wounds and modern surgical appliances ,
Lawson Tait of Londdn , has Just canto out
in a printed broadside privately circulated ,
It which he vlgorouslt- denounces , lmerican
methods of antiseptic treatniet of wounds ,
Dr. Tait compares thin death rate in a well
known New York lioppltnl with that in an
institution managed tjry imhnself in London ,
and declares that without using anti-septic
methods as we ondcrsiund thorn , hie achieves
far better results , 5111 it is not likely- that
Dr. Tact's slrlcturetr will result In any
change in time surgktl pines as they have
been laid for the appronciming campaign , On
the contrary Anmerlean surgeons are hope.
ttmi that time experiences of thle war will go
a long way toward proving lime soundness
of their theories ,
"There Is no class of men who make so
greet sacrifices It order to serve their country -
try us do the surgeons , " said an eminent
specialist time other day , "or who do it with
less prospect of fame or even recognition ,
A young man who has just established hlni-
self and tvho is earning , say , $5,000 a year ,
goes to the war because he conceives it to
be his duly , lie serves for one year or
