DOING MEMJBAGK IN '46 Analysis of Results of Conflict Sixty Five Years AgQ. COST IN LIVES AND MONEY Army OHIcrr Show Prrccntnuc of I'lulitlnir Fnrcf, Totnl Number In Field nnrt the IjOir Katnlnil. in tho Mexican war of sixty-five years hko one In every ten regulars and one In every forty of the volunteers who foush. In that utrussle wero killed, while more than 10,000 men .djled of disease or were retired from service with their health shattered as a result of disease. These figures are contained In a paper by Major Kvan II. Johnson, Jr., U. S, A., of tha general staff of the army, in which, under the caption, "The Military Policy of tho United mates." Major Johnson tells what each of the great wars in which U United States has en gaged has cost the nation in men and monoy. Owing to the critical situation now prevailing In Mexico. Major John son's .reference to the Mexican war of more tfian half a century ago is of In terest at" this time. "At the time of Us opening." writes Major Johnson, "our forces In Texas numbered pnly J.531 men, notwithstanding that war had for some time seemed to be Inevitable, There Jiod been efforts to got congress to Increase tho regular army, and suggestions had been made to call out volunteers and mllltta, but thete ef forts and" suggestions were barren of re sult: hence 'General Taylor met, on Mar S. 1S46. 6,000 of the enemy at Palo Alto, and shortly after, at Resaca de la Palma, with an army of 1,222. General Gaines In Mississippi had illegally raised and tnt to General Taylor over S.000 troops, enlisted for six months; but so lacking were these In equipment and training tha; they remained In Idleness and were dis charged at the expiration of their enlist ment without having fired a shot. On May 11, 18. congress authorized the raising of CO, 000 volunteers. Another act of the same date authorized the presi dent to increase the companies of dra goons, artillery and Infantry to 100 men each. Under these and other laws an aggregate, of .31,024 officers and, men were enlisted In the regular army and 73,200 in, h'o volunteers. Tjtiese fdrces were not organized Into brigades and divisions nt the beginning of the war, though Mich organizations wcro necessary and were made later. Short-Period Rnllstmeuts. "In spite of the experience of former wars many of the men were enlisted for such short periods as to Interfere seri ously with the military operations, thus causing the prolongation of the war with additional loss of life and cost. To Illustrate by ono example: After se.veral months' delay owing to lack of equipment, transportation, etc., General Scott captured Vora. Cruz, and on April S began his march to the City of Mex ico. On April 18 he defeated the Mexi cans nt Cerro Gordo so decisively that 6ln his own words, Mexico had no longer an army.' Tho road to the capital lay open before him and the war should have been brought to a speedy end. Rut was this tho case? "The Inherent defects of our military system stopped Scott's progress nt the very time uny proper system should havo been ready to aid H. The law had provided for enlistments of twelve months, rtnd the greator part of this time was spent In recruiting, assembling, and training raw men, and In obtaining of supplies, equipment, and transportation for tho army, so that on April IS tho terms of enllstmont of the volunteers tero about tg expire. With the certnlnty of ending the war almost at once with tho force he then "had, Scott was obliged to send home the bulk of the volunteers from Pueblo on May 4, and remain on the defensive at that place. In the heart of tho enemy's country, cut off from all supplies, for over three months with a lit tin army of regulars and with a few olunteers who had re-en!!ited, tn all S.SS0 men. "At the end of three months, fresh contingent had arrived, but by that time the enemy nnd raised a new array greatly superior to that of ficott. and the war dragged on for eight months, In the series of bloody battles during which we suffered our heaviest losses, Niunll PlKlilliiRr I'orrr, "In this war there were called Into service 11,023 regulars and "t.tei volun teers, a total of lttl.liS. If we consider the number of troops the government was able to bring on the field of bat tle we sea that of this large number only a small proportion was ever nc tually present . ''Tho battle of1 Mpnterey was fought by Taylor with' 0,tH8 men. opposed to 10,000 Mexicans, ?.X of whom Were reg ulara. ' The battle of Huena. Vista was fought wth 4:753 men. against 30,000 Mex icans. When Scott, In August, resumed the offensive It was with U.OOO effective men against 30,000 Mexicans. Ills army on reaching he capital was, on Decem ber 4, reported to bo only 1 6,000 strong. These were the maximum forces the government, owing to the faulty sys tem, was able to bring against the en emy, in aplto of the fact that wo had In service at all times on average num ber of C3.O00 men, as opposed to 36,000, the largest number of Mexicans In ser vice at any one time". "If we consider the cost of the war we find that the losses in killed and wounded were 4,$4l officers and men, of whom 3.010 were regulars, malting for those a Ions of one In ten, and 1.S31 volunteers, a loss to these of one in forty. The number that died from disease was o,54tr and discharged, nilned In health, 3,K. "The heaviest loss from disease fell on the short-term men, the losses among troops of the old establishment, who had enlisted In the regular army lrt 1849 for the war, bolnr at the rate of 6? per cent per annum, and among regulars who enlisted In 1S47 and served a year or less 1 per cent per annum, showing that a much greater proportion of loss falls on short-term troops, which may be attrib. utod to their Inferior training and In ability to properly care for themselves In the field." The cost In money for the war with Mexico, Major Johnson writes at the oml of his remarks on Mexico, was $102,061,039, exclusive of penslonsKew York Times Wnr Scene In Movie. One of the good uses for moving pic Ure films la for recording historic events. Not long ago the kins of Itoumanla organized the production of e film of no lew than S.OCm ynrdu length, t!

PROSE P0EM0N LOST ART Penoiled Wreathes to the Memory of Old Fashioned Pumpkin jPies. YUM! YUM! AND THEN SOME When 31 n le of night Pumpkin nnd llnkeil UlKht Woninii, It' Kit for it Sovereign or King. ' There ure some things In nature Juoj right, It In tho right upot, and one of theso Is pumpkin pie. You should lnoi alt about the pumpkin Just oa much you should be well acquainted with Indian corn. They havo grown together so long that ono of them alone stems lonesome, nut when the corn l all cut, and the farmer boys are sitting around It to strip the golden ears, what would one do without pumpkins to Bit on? It Is the pie, however, that wo are after, and hoW In tho world can such a delicious affair be made out Of a gourd? For tho pump kin Is nothing hut a gourd, glorified, livery sort of plant has a special fitness above all others, It Is so with folks also, and as for companionship, what coul.l be finer than this of our gifts from the Indians? nut you must find tho right woman in mix and cook It that Is, tho pie. It Is like ginger cookies not too much ginger, not too little, and the same with the sugar, and after that If you stir the mix turo Just once too many times you spoil the cookies. Nobody can tell why, only It Is ro. nut the pumpkin pie must have a bracing charge of ginger, and sugar enough to be really sweet In the raw: and as for the milk, our word for It, don't try condensed milk. And one more thing, i don't try making Just ono pie. We have never known stlnglncrs to work well with pumpkins. A I'nmtiUIn Pie Mast Illpen. It Is not easy to be patient with those who have a washing day every week, but not a cooking day. It yoU wash on Mon day, on Saturday you should moke pies with doughnuts, cookies and bread; all of these;, and, to begin with, there should be a pan full of the cookleu when you get through, and a pan full of pie mix ture when you begin. If there are boys In the family they should V" permitted to taste with entire freedom of tho mar- velous mixture, and there should ho a big spoon thoughtfully laid, by the pan on the table. After the pies aro bakqd. set thorn In a row, always on tho second shelf In tho pantry, and let them ripen. Nothing Is perfect when green, least of all b pump kin pie. They are best on tho secold day, and not .much different, on ihe third, end aro still good On thu fourth; only let ono pie, as soon an out of the omi, be set on tho big, broad shelf by tho window, and on It a suggestive knife, of silver, and ask no questions. It it Is not there on tho morrow, why, thoo on tho second shelf remain, and I not grniltude from a whole family an tiood an a pumpkin Pic, any time? We havo heard a gOod deal ot growl ing about thn world, from tJuio to time, and from folk who ought to know let ter, yet It Is no wonder when all the. ddmestlo arts are lost arts, and when there Is no Wendell Phillips left (o re hearso their golden days. Hut -ill this Is nonsense, when ono may easily have a big cornfield, with the corn all hunked and In tho bin, and yet the field cov ered with 2,000 pumpkins, the olir of red gold, and everyone of them urvlng out, "Take mel Take me!'' ICnaUghT Yes, it Is one of the few things of which nature croates a surplus: enough to use up four quarts of Jersey milk, although It Is tho pumpkin Itself that hus mnde the J6rscy milk so golden; enough also for hoys to make Jack o' lanterns on Hallowe'en; enough more for eeats when thu husking bees gather the farmer, and then enough for pies for every day as long as the snow quilts lie on tilt meadows, and enough for the uncles and aunts In town. It Is nn Honest Trait. Goodness! nut what' can one think moro beautiful than a big farm wagon Piled high with this golden fruit? w liavn also seen great loads of melons. In July, fifty pounds each, and every one as full of Joy as melons. Only you cannot trust a melon by night, but a pimpkln is more like a Stark's Improve! Alberta peach; as honost a fruit as goea. Yet we confess that thore is art In the selection; let the pfe .be mado ot a pump kin that Is smooth, almost round, only a little depressed at tho end, and ot a darkish hue. Havo you ever seen a woman going all over a pumpkin field to get one worthy of her skill? Well, she will not go far before she has picked out a doren. ' k Pumpkin pudding Is not to be over- looked In tbif association. It Is tho best for dolrato atomache, It has no crust to confound the digestion, Mako It a little less gingery, and as for rats Ins, If ud at all, let them he inollow. Why fthould one "poll a high bred pud ding or pie With seeding things, that disturb the whole process of the delic ious program of eatlnc? Hprlnkle lightly with cinnamon; Just enough glngor to give warmth; and let the milk be from the home cow. Those who take milk out of tin Cabs, with forty flavors stewed In, will never know pumpkin pic. But We said pudding; and It Is all tho sam?, Dear folk! why will you llvo In tho clt!es?-for eggs are always old and milk Im patented before It gets to you, and pumpkins are only little gourds that como from the grocer's. They came front the rarmer'a barnyard pile, after feeding Uossy, mess us! find a little spot In the country somewhere where you can havo a garden, and a small corn lot, and a potato field, every potato warranted to orack open when boiled, and plenty ot Powll In New York Independent. Ilenlthy to Yawn. Yawning Is said .to have an jeicedniy healthful function besides bavin a salu Ury effect In complaints of the pharynx, and the eustachian tubes. According tcT Investigation, yawnlns Is the most nat ural form of rewplratory exercise, bring ing Into action all the respiratory mus cles of the neck nnd chatt. It Is reeommonded that every person should have a good yawn with the stretching of the limbs mornlnir and ven ng for tho purpose of ventilating the lungs and tonlfying the respiratory mus cles. An eminent authority asserts that this form of gymnastics ha a remark able effect In relieving throat and ear" troubles, and nays that patients suffering from disorders of tho throat have de rived great benefit from It. He soya ho makes his patients yawn, by suggestion or Imitation, or by a aerltti of deon breaths with the lips partly closed. Thn yawning Is repeated six or seven tlmra and should be followed by rtrajlowing, llv th's process thn air and mUrits hi the eustachian tubes are asrlrated. Netr York) Sun.
