satisfactorily explained. Some of our boys say
we were ont of ammunition. True this is, if
cur regiment was sample, rs VIC did not have
a round of cartridge from the time the action
closed until late in the afternoon OF July :,
when we were doled out 10 rounds per man.
But al the same we should have had this aud

The fighting qualities of troops is generally
gagged by our historians by their casualties in
action. AT Malvern our regiment, out of prob
ably $50 engaged, lost in killed and wounded
about 81. while at Cold Harbor, out of about
400 engaged. we lost in killed aud wounded about
200. This was by far a greater loss, and was
sustained principally while charging tho enc

on our part, as hut few rounds of cartridge were
used But at Malvern, where our losses were
small, they did more Sighting to the square
inch and better execution, using up IN elective

The Position Ra.ona.

Blouses may come and go. Coat
basques may have the same experience,
but the trim, well-ftting position
basque is always in good form If it fits
we'll A basque that fits we'll is one
that is not too tight to permit easy
movement of the arms, and is one that
does not need to be closed with a shoe
buttoner. The wise woman who wants
to keep her basque in good shape puts
on her bonnet before she assumes it.
Then, before any fastening begins the
inside belt should be drawn together,
and it isn't the best thing to have the
belt very tight for that does not make
the basque fit closer and does make the
drawing of it together more difficult.
By the by, no matter how you may be
tempted to put large buttons on your
bodice, remember that only small ones
are considered good form. There must
be great many Of these, SO that the
possibility of the opening standing
apart even an inch between them does
not exist-Chicago News. ~

PIERcE's cLoD-cRUsHEB AND PALMER
that of properly placing the plants,
falls to ~the~let=ef small bey-who
oftener. than otherwise gets it either too
deep or too shallow. y
In the present case the warm open
winter had produced considerable
growth of tufts of grass, and many mag
nificent docks, and where the sods or
docks came in the way we dug them
out, and replaced with clean SOIL This
took a little time, but previous ex-
perience had taughtme that it paid in
the after-hoeing. Weswere particular
to set the line exact and plant close to
it SO that we can run little one horse
harrow close to the plants and kill all
the newly-sprouted weed except line
three or four inches wide.
just as we got the ground in
shape it commenced to rain, and rained
every night and occasionally in the day
time. This would have made a serious
state Of affairs had the land been clay,
but being a rich sandy loan in fine con-
dition, it was not sticky and permitted
planting very soon after a shower.
We watched the weather closely, and
when shower was apparent we fell to
and dug lot OF plants, shook them out
and put under shelter to be trimmed
when 1t ralned.
Several mornings / got up at daylight
and dug several hundred plants before
breakfast, throwing them into piles OF
one hundred each to be afterwards gath
cred up and carried to the green house,
where we trimmed them in pleasant
atmosphere, and out of the cold, raw
wind or frosty air. The result of our
rainy-day planting is; that of many
thousand scarcely one wilted. and all
are growing as II they had never been
moved.
Now these notes are to impress upon
beginners three things in strawberry
culture: 1.-The Importance of fitting
: the ground early and thoroughly. a.
The value of complete stand OF plants
withsno vacancies; and above all, s.
The proper trimming of plant for set
ting Conversing withia friend, recent
ly, he remarked: II don't spend much
time pulling off runners or dead leaves
lust plant them out just asEthey are
dug" How many can you plant In an
hour where you take them from basket
into which they are thrown, l asked.
''Oh! about seventy-five or eighty l
guess he replied. Exactly! and / can
plant three hundred in an hour without
help, and the difference is that / have
the plant properly trimmed. Some
leaves curl downwards and some are
dead, these remove so that l can get
by glance clean view of the plant,
and know just how deep to set it. The
dead runner does not interfere with
planting but it is strong and rots slow
ly, and the chances are that If left on
you will catch hold of it in wedding or
hoeing and pull out the plant after 1t is
nicely started thus putting it back or
killing it outright. As the plants are
trimmed keep them in my left hand
until get fist full full when they are
carefully placed in the end of basket
or box, lying closely together as snug
and handy as a box Of toothpicks -
