Many of the new hats have low crown
and straight brinl, but others, like La
Tosca, show the lofty effects, as in n
hat with high, squarish crown and
narrow brim, just little curlcd up at
the edge. A specimen of this style is
in stone and steel color, tho straw hat

trimming of steel ribbon, fastened at

Another hat, with n larger square
crown, has wide brim, curiously
twisted, and is trimmed on one side
with long ostrich plumes, which droop
over the back of the neck, and quite n
fanciful shape is in golden-brown straw;
its brim protruies in front and is

| Union Army.
In the fall of G3 the Fifth Iowa Cav
airy were ordered out on some oxpc-
dition to make certain that there was
no enemy in our immediate vicinity.
Company +, the Iowa German com
pany of tho regiment, was in tho adj
vance, with orders to keep about one
quarter milo in advance of the rcgi-
mcnt But rs no ono supposed that
there was an cnomy anywhere in that
region. they were careless about the
rule and were at least mile in nd-
vance and riding carclcssly along sing
ing some of the war songs of the day,
Captain Go riding at the head of
the company and Corporal Joe n short
distance in the rear to see that no one
struggled. The weather was wa7m and
the corporal was fat and, thinking it
good time to rest, was riding side
wise, his thoughts wandering back to
his sweetheart and Vaterland. 1t was
while the force was riding on n down
hill grade in narrow lane, with just
room enough for two to ride abreast
comfortably and pretty deep wasbout
at each side, that this incident occur
red. At the foot OF the hill, Ii ddcn by
the brush, was n scouting party of
Confederate cavalry with one gun
battery. They had observed the APP
proach of Company +, and seeing no
Others, thought it was u small scouting
party of the Yanks, and concluded to
wake them up. The first intimation of
nm enemy was the report of the cannon
and the screcching of the shell over
our heads, bursting pretty close to
Corporal Joe. Every horse about-facrd
and started for the rear, not waiting
for orders, Joe's horse in the advance.
But, "Oh. no, not for Joe;" for as his
horse wheeled around, he-sitting on
sidcwse-was thrown flat upon his face
across the road, and before he could re-
cover from his astonishment the horses
of his comrades had commenced to
jump over him. Fearing the feet of tho
horses, Joe hugged his mother earth
very closely, if not ailcctionatcly.
Captain &C had been little in ad-
vance of the company, so that upon
wheeling around it left him CORE
spondingly in the rear. His horse not
being as fast as the others, by the time
Company +, had jumped Joe there was
quite distance between company and
Captain, and Joe thought t was about
time to get up and git" But just as
he had assumed the all-fours position
the Captain was ready to pass to the
rear, and the Confedcratcs were get
ting the range and firing as fastas they
could load their one gun. The Captain
was in too much of hurry to wait for
Joe to gather himself out of the way.
He yclls out the commands: "Stoop n
lcetle, Joe, chumps too" And Joe
stopped leetle," and the Captain and
horse went over successfully. The whole
party escaped without injury, r.

How Neal Dow Interpreted His Superior's
Instructions.
There was once an occasion in which
Neal Dow was avery noticeable figure.
1t was early in the war His army
corps had been brought up preparatory
to forming for battle. General Dow
was one of n party of lesser officers
who had been called around the corps
commapder for instructions. He was,
rs one of the boys said, all hat, boots
and sword. He was n very small man,
and wore hat with an enormous
brim, pair of boots that Tapped
above the knee, and sword that
changed on the ground away behind
him.
General Dow," said the COM
mander, al want you to go to that little
hillock to the left and take position
facing that line of woods"
"Now, Gcncral?" asked Dow.
"At once"
In moment the army saw little
General Dow tramping off toward the
hillock alone, and word was passed
along explaining the mistake he had
made. The shouts of laughter attract
ed the commander attention, and he
sent an orderly after General Dow
When the little man returned the COM
mandcr asked:
General Dow, what did you under
stand me to direct you to do?"
"To take a position OH that hillock
facing the woods, sir."
"And did you think l meant to send
you there aloncP'
Certainly, sir. / did not hear you
say anybody was to go with me-"
The commander kindly sethim right
and General Dow finally took his COM
mand to the hllock, but the boys in
that corps never got through talking
and laughing about the timo Little

hillock against the Southern army. -

THE OLD cANrEeN.

'Tis treasure from out the old cedar chest
That bravo wife sncrody keeps,
All hidden away meath the bullct.plowod hat
Whore tho tattcrcd old gray coat sleeps;
And the years drift softly md silently down.
The spidcr has woven her sheen
A mantle of peacc-lllto halo OF rest
Round tho heart OF the Old Cantocn.
1t was battered and bent in tho storm OF war,
Where the hurtling grapo-shot fell,
And II brcathes in Its sleep the mystical tnlo
That the Southland must know so we'll
or the clnshing OF steel, Of the carnage OF death
or the woo In the days that have bocn-
But tcndcror tale than the pale stars know
Lies asleep with the Old Cantocn.
Tho battle was done, md the flash OF the gum
Had ceased in the warm bloody rills,
And tho night like pail OF the dead, dropped
down
On the grim field OF Chaplin Hllls.'
But the field was won, TO the soldier In gray
And he lay in the lines between
And weary and thirsty, he measured the drops
That were left in the Old Cantecn.
There were dying and dead upon every side,
Loud curses, and prayers brcnthed low
But the darkness concealed, nor would not re
veal,
The face OF n friend or q foe;
And he thought as he lay by his arms, OF
home,
or love, and its tendcrcst scene,
And he pillowed his head with its throbblng
pain
On the breast OF the Old Canteen.
But the chilling winds sighed, and gurgling
moan
Crept on through the darkcning mist
And the words of distress woke the slumbcring
heart
That the bright dream OF home had kissed.
Hetendcrly lifted the shattered young form,
With the veil OF the night between
The heart of the soldier beat earnest and true
Beneath the old battered Cantecn.
A friend or o'--ah what matter It them
Union blue, or the @. $. Az
With piteous need in the jacket OF bluc,t
Humanity's heed in the gray.
And the message was brcathcd to stranger
heart,
In the car of the foe unseen
And the quivcring lips felt the cooling drip
From the depths OF the Old Cnntcen.
"Tell my sisters died for my country's cause
That my end was u soldiers end;
And tell them, comrade-a gasp and n
pause
81 died in the arms of a .trieHd"
Through the shvcring mist like the white
rush.lights,
The pale stars struggled between,
With the deep silence cleft by the gurglng sigh
That arose from the Old Canteen.

With its tale of days that have been
And light be the dreams, in the stiffness OF
peace,
That may rest on the Old Canteen.

ADuLTERATED LARD.
A simple Test for Detecting tho Presence
OF Cotton-Sccd oil.


OF Cotton-soed oil.
Tho recent examinations of lard
made at the Agricultural Department
have resulted in the discovery of tcst
by which the presence OF cottonsecd-oi
may be detected instantly by any dealer
or housckocpcr. Tho experiment Is rs
follows: As much lard rs can be taken
up on the point of n casc-knifc is placed
in toacup. About quarter of an
ounce of sulphuric acid is poured upon
it and thoroughly mixed with it, II
the lard is pure, it will coagulato, and
there will be little difficulty in tho
mixing. II it is adultoratcd with cot
tonscod-oil and stcarinc, the mixture
will take place immediately and easily.
After half minute, one-fourth OF an
ounce moro OF sulphuric acid should bo
poured upon and mixed with it. The
whole process thus far should not oc-
cupy more than ono minute.
The substance thus obtained is poured
into common tost-tube, such as may
be bought ut any chemists shop for q
few pennies. Tho acid, somewhat
coored, will sink to tho bottom, and
tho fatty substance will remain on top.
II the lard thus tested was pure, the
color of tho latter will be that of light
colored sponge, changing in a minute
or so to n dark cinnamon color. II it
has been adultcratcd with cottonseed-
oil, the color at first will be darker,
changing Immediately to dark brown.
These differences of color are so marked
that no experience is required to detect
them.
Cards might be printed upon which
the colors produced by the sulphuric
acid Reaction for both pure and adul-
terated lards might BIZ shown; and deal
ers, by using this test, may prove to
their customers in n minute or two that
tho lad that they are selling is an un-
adultcratcd article. The experiment is
simple, and tho cost of it almost moth
ing. The novel thing about it is the
placing of the mixture in test-tube in
which the acid may become separated
from the fatty substance, thus making
the test much more decisive and satis-
factory. This was first suggested by
Dr. Thomas Taylor, who has extended
his experiments to n great number of
different animal and vegetable oils

SWEPT BY WIND AND WATER.
Great Damage Done in MichIgan-work
of n Waterspout.

MARQUETTE, Mich, June 11.-Reports
from thirteen places up to o'clock last
night show that the storm of Saturday
night was general, and unprecedented in
the amount of rain.fa The storm broke
like the bursting of watcrspout and
continued for two hours, accompanied
by vivid lightning. All the country from
the Wisconsin line to the upper range and
the whole width of the peninsula suffered.
At and for fifty miles from Houghton the
work of the deluge was most damaging. At
Baraga, Houghton, Calumet, Lake Lindon,
Escanaba, LAnse, Iron Mountain, Norway,
Ishreming, Marquette, and as far east
as Seney the storm was terrible.
No approximation of damage is yet posi-
BILE. Houses were undermined, and in some
cases swept away; culverts and bridges
were destroyed, and miles of fences and
sidewalks were washed away. Although
several railroad culverts were destroyed
no accidents occurred, but travel is gencr-
ally delayed on all the peninsular roads.
