VETERANS ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
cept occasional police duty, are great
readers, and on any summer day you
can see groups Of them sitting together
on the banks Of the lakes, smoking their
pipes, reading and commenting on what
they read as they go along. Besides the
library there is spacious flower con-
servatory, the plants Of which the SOL
diers take great delight in caring for.
On the east Of, the main building is a
dormitory used for various purposes, the
stables and fruit garden. On the west
is the hospital, and near by the quarters
Of the governor and officers Of the insti-
tuition. Back Of the main building is a
beautiful Seneca stone chapel, which
was finished in 1871. A bronze statue
Of Gen. Winfield Scott stands in con-
spicuous place on the grounds. Ada
cent to the main building is the airy
rustic cottage, covered with roses and
vines, erected for the presidents in the
'7Os, although before it was built q GER
tain portion of the home itself was the
favorite summer residence Of Presidents
Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln.
W.
The Soldiers home at Washington was
founded in 1861, and was ardently adj
vocated by Gen. Winfield Scott. 1t was
then intended as a refuge for disabled
soldiers of the Mexican war and sol
diers who had served in the regular
army for twenty years. 1t was then
built upon comparatively small scale,
and it was only from the necessities Of
the civil war that it has become one of
the model institutions Of the kind in the
world.
Its broad plan is admired by some Of
the most deprecatory military critics Of
Europe who have inspected it. Before
the civil war every soldier in the army
was taxed twenty-five cents month to
aid in the support Of the home. After
the civil war this tax was reduced to
twelve cents. All soldiers who have been
disabled in service, and those who have
performed service for twenty years, can
reside without cost at the home for the
remainder of their lives, and there are
many who prefer the comforts and com
parative freedom Of this excellently man
aged institution than to be dependent
upon the begrudged charity Of their rela
| tives

Easy Experiment in Chemistry.

Cut three leaves of red cabbage into
small pieces, and, after placing them in
a basin, poura pint Of boiling water over
them, letting them stand an hour; then
pour off the liquid into decanter. It
will be Of fine blue color. Then take
four wine glasses into one put six drops
Of strong vinegar; into another, six drops
Of solution Of soda; into third, the same
quantity Of strong solution of alum,
and let the fourth glass remain empty.
Fill up the glasses from the decanter,
and the liquid poured into the glass con-
tanning the acid will quickly change to a
beautiful red; that poured with the soda
will be fine green; that poured in with
the alum will turn to pretty purple,
while that poured into the empty glass
will remain unchanged. - Practical

girl gave testimony in regard to the
nature OF the Earl's otIense, and her
testimony was CorroboTated By other

defendant was then read, in which the
explanation was made that no inten.

accidentally come into improper contact
with her person, After tbs hearing Of
further evidence the Earl was acquitted
OF the charge.
The scenes In the courtroom when the
Jury brought In a verdict Of acouittal,
was one rarely witnessed In criminal
court In this country. The guilt OF the
accused was so clearly established by
such evidence as was allowed 10 filter
through the objections OF the six emf.

present in the court room, many Of
whom were friends and relatives Of the
little girl whom the aged noble-
