Fatigue Fever,

Sometimes, owing to faults in the train
ing or to the selection ;. exercises that are
not fitted for the body or to injudicious
efforts to excel, certain parts Of the body
are irregularly developed. We are aware
of this irregular development by the cir
oumstance that it may actually become
visible to the eye. In the opera dancer
there may be undue development Of the
muscles of the leg in the rowing man
there may be undue development Of the
muscles of the arm, and in the cyclist
there may be not only undue develop
ment of the lower limbs when the exercise
Is carried to an extravagant length, but
owing to the mode in which the body is
bent over in the act of cycling there is in
duced not infrequently temporary de-
formity which may pass into a permanent
one if it be permitted too long; also, in
some instances, from excessive exercise
the heart itself becomes enlarged, irreg.

In the end too feeble
These are serious disadvantages, which
creep gradually on and often are not de-

remcdied There is another disadvantage
which is more direct in its nature-that
Is, a dangerous degree of muscular fatigue
followed by a feverish condition and fol-
lowed again by a considerable exhaustion,
precisely, in fact, as if the person had
passed through fever, so that physicians
sometimes speak Of the condition as ia
tigue fever
We have learned n great deal on this
point in the past few years We have
learned that unless the muscles have been
brought into fair condition, not an over

Bile of natural movement, becomes painful
and produces in itself positive toxic or

which act truly as poisonous products,
causing fever and ultimate depression as

Labrador Icebergs.

Tho Iron bound" coast of Labrador is
guarded by groups of islands--barren,
hopeless and forlorn looking rocks all the
more desolate in appearance for the miser-
able fishing luts or 'tilts" that have been
thrown together on them. Entering
through some narrow passage between
these islands, the steamer anchors for the
night in "a rock bound basin, for it is too
dangerous work to navigate the Labrador
waters after dark. The narrow passages
between the islands, both along the Lab
rador and in the Newfoundland bays, are
called "tickles, and APPLY so, for it seems
as if the sea had reached out foamy fingers
and tickled the rocky ribs of the coast I'M
til it split it's sides with grim, stormy
laughter.
One evening we found one of these
ticklcs nearly blocked by huge iceberg
which had driftcd into it and grounded
We passed near enough to feel its chilling
breath and to have thrown biscuit on it,
as the sailors say. We had hardly anchor
ed in the harbor before we heard loud re-
ports in rapid succession like the firing OF
field artillery. Looking in the direction
from which they came, we saw above the
heights that surrounded the basin the
peak of the iceberg swaying slowly and
majestically to and fro and finally disap-
pearing, "A peak of different shape rsiag
from behind the height and taking It's
place.
They say that an avalanche is sometimes
so dclicately poised that the vibrations
from shout or handicap will start it
on its destructive course, and possibly the
wash from our steamer had disturbed the
iceberg's equilibrium. At night the moon
rose, and the northern lights throbbed in
the sky, so that the iceberg's peak was at
times bathed in silver, at times in clear
translucent crimson. 1t isn't often you
find a combination of iceberg, moonlight
and northern lights, and feeling that
might never again behold such an exquis.

Motley Uniforms of 1861.

Tue call to arms of 1861 found in the
United States a number of militia regi-
ments and innumerable volunteer or
CARNATIONS whose uniforms were as
fanciful and varied as could we'll be
conceived, being fashioned after the
pat ern of almost every known military
type in Europe, from the highland
costume of the famous British infantry
to the hybrid, circuslike, useless dress
of the French zouave and the bandit
like clothing of the Sandman bersag-
lieri. France had two years before
beaten Austria, and there was sort of
French military craze on us just then,
and our soldier boys affected their style.
England had just decided that gray was
the best and most serviceable color that
could be adopted for the uniform of her
volunteers, and many state troops and
local companies we're clad in that color.
But each corps dressed according to it's
own fancy, and the frock coat, the
swallow tailed coat, the jacket, the
blouse, appeared in all varieties of
shape and color, headdresses in equal
variety, black belts, white belts, all sorts
OF accouterments could be seen
everything, in fact, save the one thing
most Deedful then and now-uniform-
ity. This, thanks to hard, practical
experience, was developed late on in
the war, but the first months found the
boys in very motley, if gay and gor-
geous, apparel. This antebellum state
OF affairs applied equally to the military
organizations of the Southern States,
and though perhaps the highlander did
not obtain there to any great extent ,
the .zouave certainly did.-Selected.

essary to state that to have such an honor
bestowed one must have been a veteran
soldier. She is one, having been regularly
enlisted in the war of the Union when she
was but mere girl
Her father was an officer in the British
army, Colonel George Southwell, who was
commissioned to Caffarai, a small coast
town in Africa. some time previous to her
birth, in 1912 She first saw light of day

army At first she took the news quite
seriously but soon made up her mind that
she would not be separated from her hus
band on this account
The boat which was to carry the volun-
teers to their destination was about to pull
out of her pier when it was discovered that
Kady Brownell, as she is best known, had
secreted herself on board, One of the crew
informed Colonel Burnside of this fact,
and, despite her pleadings, she was put
ashore Her persistent requests to be en-
rolled in the army were finally acceded to
by William Sprague, who was then gov
ernor of Rhode Island and she became q
member Of the Second battalion of the
First Rhode Island Detached militia
which was then being equipped.
Her uniform was not unlike that of the
men, consisting of blue flannel blouse
and rather full, short skirt She always
wore her belt and saber, and on the march
wore boots At the expiration of her term
she returned to Providence, where she re-
ceived a regular discharge, but later re-en-
listed In the Fifth Rhode Island regiment,
Her company was among those placed I'M
der the command of Burnside, and on
March 10, 1869, the Union forces debarked
on the banks of the Neuse river prepare
tory to the memorable battle of Newbern.
1t was during this battle that Brownell
was badly wounded He never recovered
from the wounds received sufficiently to
enter active service and in the spring OF
1868 they were both discharged and went
back to their home In Providence In view
of her interesting war history she was pro-
posed as a member Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic In 1867, She was unanimous
