THE GIRL OF THIRTEEN.
Unless She Has Care at That Age Sh
Will Make a FOrlOrn Women.

Unless She Has Care at That Age She
Will Make a Forlorn Women.
The girl of 13 is the future woman
and very important parcel Of human
tty, says the New York Sunday Adver-
tiser. She is child and just growing
into womanhood, and this transition
which to grown-ups means only sud
den shooting up beyond all bounds and
a tendency to stopped shoulders, is
much more to the girl who leaves child
hood behind and is not yet young
lady. Fast growing is very great
drain on any child's strength, and as
| at 13 she usually has considerable
work ut school, both mind and body are
called upon to do double work. That
is why she needs care.
Good food, rest and congenial com
pany are some Of the things which are
Necessary for the girl of Ii. She should
not have too much excitement, or books
to read which tax her thoughts too
much, as her mind develops only too
| quickly at this age, and every day life
and lessons are enough to occupy her.
| She should go to bed early and sleep
ten hours. For breakfast she should
eat strengthening, bone-making food,
oat meal, oranges, brown bread, eggs
and milk. For her midday meal she
| should have something more sustain
ing than bread and butter lunch, If
she is to grow up into strong woman.
Hot soup and chop and baked po-
tato every day for three months will
make her stand up straighter than
braces will.
She should have q walk in the open
air every day; IL she does not get this
she will grow nervous and sleepless,
have fantastic notions about an early
grave and running away from home,
or, worse still, grow sentimental and
write morbid little verses and weep
over the poor. These are all true symp-
toms Of the girl of ID. She begins to
think she is very old as soon as she
gets into her teens, and the RESPONSE
bilities affect her sensitive new mind
to an appalling degree-if she is given
time to think of them.

One pole Is slightly shorter than the
other, In order that in passing obstacles
the shock may be received successfully
by each, and the motion be equally dis
tributed. The hospital or "red cross" am
bulance, as it Is termed in the army, on
account Of its having a red cross (the
Geneva CROSSE painted on each side, Is ad-
mirably adapted for the transport of dis
abled men. 1t is a four-wheeled vehicle,
and is drawn by two horses. 1t provides
transportation for eight men sitting or two
recumbent on litters, or four sitting and
one recumbent. 1t is fitted with remova-
BILE seats. which, when not used as such,
are hung two against each side, thus an
swering the purpose of cushions. Be
meath the drivers seat is box for the
medical and surgical chests, and under the
body are two water tanks. To the aver
age person who may witness drill of the
hospital corps the work performed by the
men may seem easy, but such is not the
case. 1t is no doubt the perfect way in
which the duties are performed that gives
this false impression, for practice has
made them perfect. In the small matter
of picking up wounded man and placing
him upon litter much practice is neces-
sary in order that the wounded man
may be given as little pain as possible.
To the injured man the slightest move
ment may cause excruciating pain.
The chief aim, then, in carrying him,
whether by litter, over the back, upon q
seat of two hands or by ambulance, is to
do so with gentleness and care. and to
accomplish these results constant instruc-
tons and frequent drills are necessary

Applauded Too Soon.

DR.. Holmes was master Of the art
of so arranging discourse as to take
his hearers by surprise. What they did
not anticipate from his lips happened
to fall from them. On one memorable
occasion they were struck with aston
ishment as they found themselves in a
rhetorical ambush, lured by the verbal
skill Of the master. The occasion was
the opening of the new building of the
Harvard Medical School in the autumn
Of 1888, when DR.. Holmes delivered a
lecture before the faculty and govern
ment Of the college and a large au-
dience. In the January Scribner's DR..
Thomas Dwight describes the scene,
wherein all the audience were aston
ished, and part mentally paralyzed.
The question Of admitting women to
and tiitrnew movement had been de-
feated, through the opposition of great
majority of the faculty. DR.. Holmes
had inclined to the losing side. On this
occasion, after speaking In his most
perfect style on woman as q nurse, he
concluded:
II have always felt that this was
rather the vocation of woman than gen.
eral medical, and especially surgical,
practice" This was the signal for loud
applause from the conservative side.
When he could resume he went on:
"Yet I, myself, followed the course
of lectures given by the young Madame
Lachapelle in Paris, and II here and
there an intrepid woman insists on TAX.
ing by storm the fortress of medical
education, would have the gate flung
open to her, as IL 1t were that Of the cit-
adel of Orleans. and she were Joan OF
Arc returning from the field Of victory"
The enthusiasm which this sentiment
called forth was SO overwhelming that
those Of us who had led the first ap-
plause felt, perhaps looked, rather fool
ish. I have since suspected that DIR.
Holmes, who always knew his audi
ence, had kept back the real climax to
lure us to our destruction. ~

A Smuggling Scientist.

A Berlin periodical has the follow.
ing: In 1905 Humboldt ard Guy
Lussac met in Paris to pursue their
Investigations as to the compression
of ali. The two men of science found
it necessary to obtain large number
of glass tubes. These were very dear
in France at the time, and the enor-
mously high duty forbade their in
PRODUCTION from abroad. But Hum
boldt was nothing daunted. He or
dered the tubes from q German glass
works. and instructed the manufac-
turer to close them up Mt both ends
and affix to each label with these
words, "Deutsche Luft' German
air.. The air Of Germany was an
article which did not appear in the
tariff, and the custom house officials
allowed the tubes to pass, and they
were thus delivered free of duty into
the hands Of the two men of science .

"The ice-cream soda craze. which
American women iave had 80 badly
for the last few years. has broken out
In London" said q traveller recently re-
turned from abroad. ut hasn't got q
firm clutch on the English women yet,
but 1t IL growing rapidly. and I ex-
poet that In the course Of few years
1t will materially aid in the disappear

try are famous. An American confec-
toner Is responsible for the production
of the ice-cream soda In London. Be-
fore he settled In place In upper Re
gent street the deadly mixture was
practically unknown In that great city.
The few English women who had been
to this country and tasted It, here OF
course knew what 1t was, and they lost
no time In patronizing the confec-
toner.
'"rhe great mass of women, however,
looked aghast at the combination OF
strawberry syrup, live soda water, aud
ice-cream. Those who got up enough
courage to tackle 1t were not sorry that
they had done so, and the result was
that 1t soon became necessary for other
confectioners in the neighborhood to get
soda fountains and learn how to mix
the drink In order to hold their trade.
There are now half q dozen or more
places In London where ice-cream soda

surrounded by women. The scene re-
minds one very much of any one OF
our uptown confectionery shops on a
hot afternoon. expect 1t will not be
very long before the English women
will become as devout worshipers at the
ice-cream soda shrine as are our Amer
lean women at the present day. Here
tofOre the chief diversion Of the English
woman out shopping has been to eat
ices and cake or drink chocolate, but
predict the entire disappearance of this
fashion In a very short time. Ice
cream soda has never failed to get a
deadly clutch on the women Of any
country where 1t has settled, and 1t will
be funny II 1t does not make complete
conquest Of the Londoners."

jured.
The non-commissioned officers are
known as hospital stewards, and they
wear a sergeant's cheveron of emerald
green, piped with white, and bearing an
arc of one similar bar across the top, the
whole inclosing red cross. The uniform
is similar to that worn by the enlisted
men of the line. except that the trousers
are of dark blue cloth, bearing an emer-
aid green stripe, piped with white, down
the outer seam of each leg. The privates
wear white brassard, bearing red
cross, on the left arm, above the elbow;
the cap ornament is a white metal Geneva
cross. This Geneva cross Is the sign of
neutrality which, under the articles OF
the Geneva convention, gives some i'm
munity to the work of the hospital corps
in the field.
The privates become non-commissioned
officers by passing a satisfactory examina-
ton in pharmacy and the other duties of
the corps. The stewards are the drug
gists or apothecaries of the army, and
they must be skilled drug clerks, for all
medicines are compounded by them. They
receive, in addition to their house, cloth
ing and rations, the monthly pay of $50.
The privates receive $1Sa month in ad-
dition to their clothing, lodging and food.
In Time of Peace.
In time of peace the duties of the hos
pital corps consist in caring for the men
in garrison who are i'll in hospital, and
each post has one or more stewards and
two or more privates, according to the
size of the command.
In time of active hostilities the duties
of the hospital corps are important and
arduous, and at such times the corps is

No branch of the military service Of the

this part is filed in garrison during the
time of peace or during active service
upon the battlefield. in bivouac or on the
march.
The Hospital Corps is a distinct organ

ing of men whose duties are limited en-
tirely to sanitary work. It's members are
selected because of their conspicuous
adaptability to the peculiar duties of the
corps, from men serving in the line or by
enlistment direct into the corps. Those
who are transferred from the line to the
corps are instructed in their duties at the
post they are ordered to join; those who
enlist for the first time are sent to one Of
the two schools of instruction for the
corps, located at Washington Barracks
and Fort Riley, Kan, where they are
fully instructed, and then sent to duty
at some military station. They must be
brave and active, strong and gentle, and

According to q writer in the Popu-
