Soldiers Antiscptio Ammunition.

According to The Medical Press n use
full suggestion is being carried out by the
Netherland government, by which pro-
vision will be made for supplying each
soldier during the time of war with a
cartridge containing some antiseptic
dressings. Each cartridge will be made
of convenient size, namely, about three
inches in length by two in width, and
will be secured ct one end with a safety
pin. The dressing contained in each will
consist Of q bandage about three yards
long, and two pieces Of GauZc, all of
which have been rendered artiseptic hy
n sublimate solution. Hence in tho
event of wounds being received ready
means would be at hand for the inlmedi-
ate application of antiseptic dressings.
Soldiers in the case Of slight injuries
would prob yly at once avail themselves
of the dresa ngs, and the latter could not
fail to be ! much use to the surgeons.
Tho idea we'll worthy Of the attention
of tho mi AIRY authorities il this coun-
try, and IL sht even with advantage be
adopted, it has been for years past in
the Gernaa army. In the wars in which,
during the past few years England las
been engaged in tropical climates, tho
early application of antiseptics to the
wounds received by the men was adj
mitted to be matter CT tie utmost I'M
portance by the army medical officers at
tached to the forces. --Sciepcc.

Tho horse will leave musty hay I'M
touched in his bin, however hungry. He
will not drink of water Objectionable to
his questioning shifts, or from bucket
which some odor makes offensive, how
ever thirsty. His intelligent nostril will
widen, quiver and query over the dainti-
est bit, offered by the fairest of hands,
with coaxings that would make mortal
shut his eyes and swallow nauseous
mouthful at a gulp. A mare is never
satisfied by either sight or Whitney
that her colt is really her own until she
has certified nasal certificate to the fact.
A blind horse, now living, will not al
low the approach of any stranger with
out showing signs of anger not safely to
be disregarded. The distinction is evil
IDENTIFY nlado by his sense. Of smell, and at
q considerable distance. Blind horses, as
a rule, will gallop wildly about pasture
without striking the surrounding fence.
The sense Of smell informs them of its
proximity. Others will, when looscned
from the stable, go directly to the gate or
bars opened to their accustomed feeding
grounds, and when desiring to return.
after hours of careless wandering, will
distinguish tho one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor Of that par
ticular part of the fence is their pilot to it.
The horse in browsing orwhile gather
ing heritage with his lips is guided in its
choice of proper food entirely by its nos
trils. Blind horses do not mako mistakes
in their diet. In the temple of Olympus
bronze horse was exhibited, at the sight
of which six real horses experienced tho
most violent emotions. ELAN judiciously
observed that the most perfect art could
not initiate nature sufficiently well to
produce SO strong an illusion. Like Pliny
md Pausanius, he consequently atfirms
that sin casting the statue q magician
had thrown Hippomancs upon it, " which
by tho odor of the plant deceived the
horses, and therein we have the secret Of
the miracle. Tho scent alone of buffalo
robe will cause many horses to evince
lively terror, and the floating scent Of u
railroad train will brighten somo long
after the locomotive is out of sight and
hearing. Prairie Farmer.

STATIONERY IN tho confcderacy.

"Reminiscences of books and papers Of
the period recalls the dire aid untitled
want of every species of stationery in
each household, and the rough devices
which were resorted to for supplying
such deficiencies. 1t was time when
any individual who wished to use an en-
velope might be compelled first to make
it, after the theory of ''first catch your
hare" etc. The manner Of their making
was to cut them out of paper by TIN or
pasteboard pattern, and fasten the flaps
either with glue manufactured from the
gum of the cherry tree, or with ordinary
-four paste. Old desks and secretaries
were ransacked, and frequently not un-
successfully, for the red waters or the
sealing wax of an earlier date. Even
the most stylish and fashionable note
paper for correspondence had an OK
trenlely unstylish texture, to say nothing
of its hue, that i'll comported with the
red wax stamped with crested coat of
arms. The juice of poke berries, COM
pounded with vinegar, or the distillation
of vegetable product known as 'ink
balls" usurped the place of ink. and
faded from its original purple or crimson
color with great rapidity to one of ugly
rust.
Steel pens were scarcely to be had for
love or Confederate money, and the for
gotten accomplishment of trimming a
gray goose quill to good nib came to be
once more an accomplishment with an
ascertained value. The mucilage on the
backs of the i'll engraved blue 10 sent
stamps, adorned with the head of Jeffer-
son Davis, often failed Of its purpose;
and the fingers, which were not infre-
quently tired enough after cutting out
and making the envelope, trimming the
pen and writing the letter, must need
still go through the labor of separating
the stamps from each other with pair
of scissors or penknife, and applying
flour paste to the back Of the recalci-
trant stamp, to insure the safe carriage
of the missive of affection to the far
away soldier whose eyes might never read
it. The boys of that day, bereft of pen
ellis, made them for themselves by melting
bullets and pouring the molten lead into
the cavity of small reeds from tho cane
brakes. Trimmed to point the home
made pencil, though its mark was faint,
sufficed to serve the purposes of the
young scribes and mathematicians.-
