from the 1st to the Sd of July, none
remained unattended on July 4.

PRUSSIA did not organize regular
sanitary corps until 1856; they proved
insufficient in the little unpleasant
ness with Denmark, 1854, and two
years later their total incompetenoy
was so glaring that even the stoutest
military hearts shuddered..> Austria
did not join the Geneva convention
until July, 1866, and left the care OF
her wounded unblushingly to the
hated Prussians. Her army physicians
ran off with the regiments, to which
they were attached, as soon as the re-
treat began, and as if that bad not
been enough, the Bohemian people

when an old sailor had carried her on

said, "Ehere you are, my little lady"
the little girl replied, 81 am not lit

her mother said, "You had better tell
the kind sailor that you are not little

up her disposition did not alter. Self
willed and ambitious, after her mar
riege with the Grown Prince Frede-
rick she antagonized Bismarck and
shocked the German Court by her in
dependence. She often said that she
would be Empress of Germany if only
for a day. Her wish was gratifed,
and after her brief reign of a few
months she was shamefully and disre-
spectfully treated by her son, who now
calls her the most Intelligent woman
in Germany. The Empress Frederick's
life has been a singularly sad one.
She is wonderfully like her mother in

shrewd and clever, highly educated

WILL GIVE NOTHING.

"There is that scattereth and yet increas-
eth and there is that withholdeth more than
is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. ~ Prov.
ri. o.
A minister soliciting aid towards his
chapel, waited upon an individual distin-
guished for his wealth and benevolenre. APP
proving the case, he presented to the minister
handsome donation, and turning to his
three sons, he advised them to initiate his ex.
ample. "lIy dear boys" said he, you have
heard the case, now what will you give?"
One said, II will give all my pockets will
furnish" another observed, II will give all
that have in my purse" the third siernly
remarked: 81 will give nothing"
Some years after. the minister had occa-
sion to visit the same place, and recollecting
the family he had called upon, he inquired
into the actual position OF parties. He was
informed that the generous father was dead !;
the youth who had cheerfully given all his

had divided his pocket-money, was in COM

The army corps carried no lazarettos

the general, avowedly, had no use for
soldiers unable to fight Even the
English entered upon that war with
out proper sanitary corps. After the
battle of Alma, the wounded were left
six days without attendance Seven
days later 24O were still found alive
and carried to Sebastopol. In the
Italian war, it was found, after action
had opened, that the French ambu.
lance corps had started out with only
a quarter of their quota of men and
horses. At Magenta one ambulance
physician had to take care of an aver
age of It's wounded; at Solferino the
average was one physician to 500
wounded; after the battle of Navara,
six surgeons had to look after 1000

These "reminiscences, horrible as
they are, lose somewhat of their
ghastliness when we compare them
with some historical facts in the arch
ives of Berlin and Paris, corroborated
by official reports. Frederick the
Great in l771 issued an order that no
private must be removed from the
battlefield, after being wounded, and
that only such officers who were at
tended by their own servants might
be sent to the rear after being dis
qualified.

WOLVES in Kansas.

It is said that there is good reason
to think that some of the farmers of
western Kansas make business of
raising wolves for the bounty paid on
their scalps. The Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture has just
issued statement, showing that the
several counties of the State during the
year 1893 paid for wolf scalps the sum
of s17, 600, and that during the past
four years the gross amount of $50, 600
has been paid out in these hounties.
A significant fact shown by the report
is that the amount so paid out has
regularly increased each year. 1t is
said that, what with the bounty and
the value of their hides, wolf-raising
could be carried on at considerable
profit. .-Picayune.

All wounded allowing of transpor-

the event of battle, must be at once

Makes q Good Showing,

The report OF the Paris Pasteur Institute
for 1893 has Just been published. 1t shows
that last year 1913 persons were treated for
hydrophobia, and that only six Of them died
OF that disease. OF the number mentioned
there We're l470 French people and 17S for
eicners. Among the foreigners were 4S
Spaniards, 30 Greeks, % English, % Bel
elans, Is Egyptians, IA British subjects from
India, Swiss, 9 Dutch and 6 Portuguese.
Since NJ. Pasteur began to practice his inoc-
ulatiors against hydrophobia, II ,43O persons
have been treated by this method, OF whom
only scventy-two have died of the disease.
What proportion OF the others would have
suffered IRON the disease if they had not
been treated it is impossible, of course, to
say, but the showing Is clearly a gooI one.

While talking with one of the French
