OUR ARMY COMMANDERS.
A Century'S Line of Soldiers from St
Claire to SchOfield.

Lieut.. Gen. John M. Schofield will be
81 years of age today, and in accordance
with the statute will retire from active
service in the United States army, which
he entered as a graduate of the Military
academy in 1858 and of which for the
last seven years he has been the COM
mander.
The war department was established
under the constitution by act of Congress
of 1889, and in 1850 the standing army
of the United States was fixed at 1916
comprising one regiment of infantry and
one regiment of artillery. Until the
spring of 1871 the chief command of
this little army was held by Lieut. Col
Josiah Harmer. The generals in com
mand of the army since that time have
been as follows:
1892, Maj.-Gen Arthur st. Clair.
1926, Maj.-Gen. Anthony Wayne
1868, Brig. Gen. James Wilkinson.
1s9S99 teutGen George Washington
1925, Maize Henry Dearborn.
1S15-2S, Maj.-Gen. Jacob Brown.
1S2S-41, Maj.-Gen. Alexander Macomb
1S41-61, Maj. and Lieut.-Gen. Winfield
Scott
1861 80, Maj-Gen. George 3. Mcclellan.
1S62-64, Maj.-Gen. Henry w. Halleck.
1S64-66, Lieut.-Gen. Ulysses s. Grant.
1860, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.
1S69-S3, Gen. William 7. sherman.
1SS3-SS, Lieut. Gen. and Gen. P H. Sheri-
1sss-95, Maj and Lieut.. Gen. ]. NJ scho-
field
Not all of these were equally dis
.tinguished, but the list as a whole, as
well as in detail, is one of which the
country may well be proud.
When Washington resumed command
of the army in 1893 he had under him
but 5000 men. In the war of 1912 the
regular army at it's highest numbered
less than $4,000. During the Mexican
war the maximum was 3O,S9O, in 1S4S.
In 1867, during the civil war, the regu-
lar army reached it's highest numbers,
with $4,000 men. The present force is,
in round numbers. $4,000.

Consumption of Champagne.

Lemon Hart. an Englishman now in
Washington, says: THE worlds con-
sumption of champagne amounts to
about 21,0O0,O00 quart bottles per an
mum. England is the greatest buyer of
the sparkling fluid and the United States
comes next. Formerly Australians were
good customers, but since the great
financial depression in that corner of the
globe they have bought very moderately.
The French care very little for cham
payne. and in Paris Americans and
Engllshmen are about the only people
who call for it. The French prefer their
cheap still wines from habit and from
motives of economy. They are too thrift
~ people to indulge in e2travangance
IN eating and drinking. Americans and
Brltons drink wine, l think. mostly to
produce eNhilaration of spirits, while
the French have so much natural gayety
OF disposition that they don't need it,"
Insoles for Horses.
We saw lot of old used I'D leather
belts in scrap leather store the other
day. and on inquiring as to their dispo-
sition We're informed that good por-
ton of them would go to the farrier's
for insertion between the horses hoof
and the shoe. Any pieces of sufficient
thickness were used for making flexible
insoles. but the ordinary run of old belt
ing will not answer for the purpose.
One would not suppose, when he sees a
blacksmith put piece of leather be-
tween the shoe and hoof, that the sup
plying of the leather material was a
regular branch of business. 1t is only
another illustration of how dependent we
are upon little things, the existence of
which we hardly think of.-Boston Com

MOSQUITOES LIVE ON PAINT.
"A Ships Grew Tell Strange Story of the
Ravages OF the Fe stive Insect.


The crew of the British bark Iodine,
Capt Bartlett, which reached this port
from Greenland yesterday, related some
remarkable stories of the heat and mos
quitoes they encountered during their
stay at that place, The vessel was III
Ivigtut harbor, on the west shore, taking
on cargo of cryolite, and while the
crew were working on the slip several
of them were overcome by heat and had
to be carried below. Not only this, but
the paint peeled off the ships side to
such an extent that they had to repalnt
the vessel.
Before the new coat was dry swarms
of mosquitoes as large as good-sized
fly were attracted by the smell of the
turpentine and became so thick on the
vessels side that the crew had to wait
until they were mile at sea before
they scraped the insects off and added
a fresh coat, SO as not to again en-
counter the insects.

day. And that it positively would not
be injured by rain, damp or sunshine.
The real virtues of the English mas,
cots are not set forth as clearly as !.
believer in mascots would like. There
is an uncertainty about their actual
merits beyond that of looking pretty and
being very good company. But if they
fill both of these it is all one could con,
scientiously ask of a girl And if. in
addition to this. they are as cheerful in
case of defeat as in victory, then, indeed,
no more need be asked of any mascot.

New Use for Cottonseed Oil.

An expert says that there is fine field
in the South for the establishment of
plants for making what he calls dressing
yolk.'' This is the technical name for the
dressing placed on cakes, pies, biscuits,
etc. to give them an attractive hnlsh.
A fter a careful trial he is convinced that
the nreparation which can be made from
cotton seed oil is far superior to that de-
rived from eggs alone. The yolk made
from the oil will probably take the place
of the ordinary preparation, for besides
being better substance for the purposes
of pastry cooks, it can be put into the
market at a greatly reduced price.

Sofa Beans.

Ny attention was first called to the
sofa bean bv an article written by the
Hon. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, who
made the statement, that but for the
SOFA bean principally Though variety
of beans are cultivated there) it would
beimpossible for India, China and Japan
to support the hundreds of millions of
people they contain.
The same writer also made the state.
ment that a mich cow fed upon the
meal ground from the sofa bean would
give more milk and butter than any
other feed. Now, after reading this,
and hearing such claims made for it by
so eminent statistician, at once sent
on for enough seed to give it thorough
trial, and to say that am satisfied does
not half express it.
| find from May to June Is the best
time to plant it. Just the thing to fol-
low Irish potatoes, as it does not bloom
until August, it can be planted in corn
middles after the corn is planted out
for the last time.
The sofa makes an enormous quantity
of bush or leaf growth, which is fine for
silage, or cut, while green and cured,
for hay.
If left until the beans are fully ripe,
which will be known by the pods turn
ing yellow, all the leaves drop off, there
by putting heavy mulct upon the land,
and, of C purse, greatly enriching it.
The sofa bean grows erect from two
to four feet high, holding it's fruit well
off of the ground.
The sofa bean does not climb, but is a
bush, pure and simple 1t does not wind
around the corn stalks, and therefore
does not interfere with fodder-pulling as
cow peas do; and as they do not bloom
till August the corn crop has fully ma
tured.-T. J. G.. Jefferson county, Miss }

Budding Roots.

A correspondent of the Ocala Banner
writes:
In Illuminating over the heavy freeze
that desoated the orange groves of Flor
ida last winter, | thought Of remedy
that might be of great advantage to the
State in the future-that is to try and
have what will call budded roots. My
idea is to try and root the best limbs or
stumps. Thus would have a budded
root which, if killed to the ground, would
send up shoots that would not have to
be budded again, and would likely bear
fruit the second year. A lemon branch,
when covered by the plow, takes root
and will make lemons like the tree it is
attached to. Now, if one had well
close by the orange tree in the 81 ring he
could have boxes on posts or benches
filled half full of earth, bend a limb with
blooms on it down into the box and then
fill with earth to the top, he might have
to saw out about an inch on one side OF
the box half way down to enable him to
get the limb rightly bent and tack on
elect to keep the limb in place. My OBJ
iect in doing this IN blooming time
would BE- to get the best bearing wood,
would cut off the blooms and by fall or
at the close of the rainy season would
cut the limb from the tree, and have
hole in the nursery for it; the box should
