A comparison of the tables of mortality from
the casualties of war and from disease, will
develope the fact that the battle field is not
the most dangerous place for the recruit.
Sickness carries off more than bullets and
diseases attendant upon camp are greatly ag-
gravsted:and Increased by the inattention Of
the raw, recruit to ordinary means of preven-
ton. The proportion of men killed and
wounded is small. Great Britain was at war
from 1898 to 1915, Except during the year
1902 Duringall that period, she had but one
officer in 2l7 killed, and one in AZ wounded.
Among the men little more than one in ga
were killed and one in 63 wounded each year.
In the Peninsular war, 25, 304 died of disease,
end but {, 450 from injuries received in battle.
Our own Pcninsular war of last spring and
summer is another example of this discrep-
ancy. The swamps and t, enches about York
town and on the Chickahominy had more
victims than Williamsburg, Fair Oaks or
Seven Pines. The American soldicr-thanks
to the Sanitary Commission in all its branches
is we'll cared for, outside of the regulations,
and the mortality list of our army is much
less than it would be if the efforts Of these Or
CARNATIONS did not gladden. the dreary wards
Of every military hospital. 80

A Coop SUGGESTION correspondent Of
the Davenport Gazette, who is evidently
good friend of the soldiers and anxious for
their comfort, suggests that "a great amount
of good might be done by saving the feathers
Of all fowls and making them up in small pill
lows ior resting their sick heads and wounded
limbs upon" He states that if fowls are
scalded when picked, the feathers can be
placed in pan and set under the stove, where
they will soon dry.
Our lady readers should heed this sugges-
ton.

vertisement in Salem Mass paper:
"Bosoms-just Of ened. A fine bosom for
II cents-a very nice bosom at 25 cents.
Our stock Of bosoms is full, and at very low
prices"
This is the most frightful picture of immor
atty we have ever happened to see. The
"fulr' and very nice" bosoms are all well
enough-in fact, they are rather favorites
with the community in that shape; but the
idea Of "opening" them at II and rs cents. is
shameful, no more about New York or Paris
after that. "

cause fall in matrimonial stocks, but that is
not the case The market is buoyant, and
the demand for dominies and frosted cake is
even greater than it has been for sometime
past. AS all our readers are aware. the Tenth
Regiment IS composed principally Of young
men, who are and have been keeping COM
pany with young girls to the present day.
Their love for each other is at its hight. A
nine months separation would desolve that
love into q nero nothingness, and they now
propose to "strike while :he iron is hot -
We arc acquainted with no less than twenty
eight members ef the regiment who have al.
ready or are about to be spl:ced to some fair
piece of calico before departing for the seat
Of wal. By this means the warm love that
now exists between them will continue to in
crease until the day Of their return, when the
brave soldier will have fair and loving
bosom to rest bis weary bead upon. :.
