of all blood-puriiers is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. But it's
different from all of them. What
ever is claimed for this, it's gudrdn-
teed to do. The money is refunded
in every case where it fails to bene-
fit or cure. It's because it is differ
ent that it can be sold so. All
diseases originating from a torpid
liver or impure blood yield to it.
1t cleanses and puriies the system,

II costs the United States about sixty
cents a month to take care of a dead sol
der who lost his life in the service of the
Union. The sundry civil bill passed by
congress appropriated 800, 900 for ex-
penses of the national cemeteries during
the fiscal year. In addition to this there
was the sum Of $40, 900 set aside for sal
aries of superintendents Of these burying
grounds, and there were also some odds
and ends, amounting to several thousand
dollars, for supplying headstones where
they We're lacking, and 50 forth.
The government takes charge of all
these cemeteries, which are under the
direct control of the quartermaster gen
eral Of the army. There are eighty-two
Of them in all, including an aggregate of
327 900 burials. The smallest of the
burying grounds is at Balls Bluff, where
twenty-five Federal warriors are in
TERED, only one of them identified. The
next smallest is the old battle ground on
Seventh street in this city. It would be
much cheaper to remove the bodies rest
ing at both these places to other loca-
tons, but sentiment accords to them a
claim to remain where they fell in brave
fight.
So, although only forty-three are
buried at the battle ground, a superin-
tendent is maintained there in charge at
a salary of sixty dollars a month and
with a house free for his occupancy. The
superinteudents, rs decreed by law, are
all disabled veterans, zone others being
eligible for the positions, and their pay
is, according to the size of the cemeteries
they have charge of, sixty, ~sixty-five,
seventy and seventy-ive dollars IA month
Thus they are divided into four classes.

POINTS FOR CAMPERS.
CLOTHING FOR HEALTH AND CON-
FORT WHILE IN THE WOODS.

Tools and sundrles to Take Along.
How the Camp Should BE seIected-A
List of Articles for the Kit-soms of
the Necessary Food Supplies.
Too few of the boys who sperd their
vacation in the wilderness study care
fully enough the methods adopted by
persons of extensive camping experience.
There is no pleasure in a holiday spent
in the wilderness unless the campers
understand how to make themselves com
Portable and to avoid the confusion and
discOmforts which fall to the lot of the
ordinary g]reenhorn.
Yet the whole thing is very easy to
learn. For those who do not want TO
think out the subject for themselves let
me give a few suggestions as the result
OF my WI experience for a number of
years of camp life, as well as the expert
ence of a large number of friends of
mine.
/ always use a Norfolk jacket-called
in this country Oxford jacket, or belted
coat-made loose, of strong homespun,
and capable of being worn open when it
is warm, or belted tight when the
weather is cold. This coat looks quite
sportsInanlike. The cap is a matter of
choice, bat | like best the deer stalker,
which receives in this country the rather
obvious name of fore-and-after. 1t
should be of the same color and material
as the coat.
To be thoroughly de rigueur for wild
life the camper should wear homespun
or corduroy knickerbockers, with black
or gray stockings, unless the region
where he places his camp is badly
plagued by mosquitoes, when he had
better wear trousers, as the fly pests will
put their bills clean through the stock
ings. The stockings should be of wool
and ribbed.
For lying about the camp, canoeing,
boating or light tramping, thin yellow
leather and sometimes canvas shoes
might be used, but for all heavy work
there is nothing like n solid boot, roomy,
with wide sole and wide heel, laced
tightly about the ankle and resembling
the old fashioned English shooting boot.
For underwear wooden is far the best,
because, while not over warm, this ma
terial rapidly throws off all moisture. /
should advise wool for outer as well as
inner shirts, and the former should be of
a color which will not too easily show
stains, The drawers should be of the
same material as the inner shirt.
Two inner and two outer shirts, two
pairs of drawers and, if possible, two
pairs of trousers or knickerbockers-or
better still, a pair of each-with one
packet, viii be sufficient. Don't forget
handkerchiefs, light socks, and any kind
of belt that you prefer.
