,us hall and rooms were crowded with

Gus hall and rooms were crowded with
Confederate wounded, to whom she
ministered with her own tender hands
the whole Of that awful night. With
a dauntless heroism she remained in
her house and saw Hoods grey and
tattcred veterans sweep through her
yard and on down into the valley OF
death, and with a cheek unblanched
and a heart unquailing, watched her
Southern soldiers dash up against
",The Rock of Chicamauga." At one
time during the fiercest Of the battle,
Forrest dashed past her, through the
hall and up the stairway to portico
on the second story, the most elevated
position on the battle field, and
there through his glass scanned the
progress OF the fight What IA glorious
type OF Southern womanlood is this
gentle, quiet lady! To touch her hon.
Ored hand is the privilege OF a life
time, to see her smile is like catching
a sunset ray from our glorious past,
and her fcrvent "GOd bless you" a
benediction, to receive which, royalty
irself might gladly bend the knee.
From her house, along an avenue
shaded by locust trees, we were car.
ricd to the home OF her son-in-law,
Lieut.. Geo. L. Cowan, once a member
OF Forests escort. Lieut.. C0wan is a
courtly gentleman Of the old school,
and under the trees around his pleas.
ant home, his lovely wife-a worthy
daughter OF so honorcd and distin-
guished q mother-had spread gen.
crous aud appetizing c0llatiOn,- to
which we all did such ample justice
as might have been expected from
hungry Confederate veterans. In this
entertainment Mis-. Cowan was ably
assisted by such other charming ladies
of Franklin as Mrs. Klncaid, Mrs.
MaTCll, MTS. Luke, anu IHc ioNcly
Miss Mary Nichols After an evening
spent in this old Confederate soldiers
home, VIC were taken back to the de-
pot in time to meet the evening train
for Nashville. We departed leaving
bohind us kind wishes for our gener-
Gus friends, and carrying with us
pleasant memories that will mark
this as the red.letter day OF our life,
Proud? Yes, prouder than ever that
we had been Confederate soldier,
and that we are still spared TO be
Confederate veteran.

sailors Eyes and EIectricity,

Owing to the intensity of the electric
light used OH board of men-of-war men
are frequently affected with eye COM
plants, which in some cases have led
to total blindness, says O French mill
tary journal. 1t has been observed that
eyes in which the iris is not heavily
charged with pigments, that is to say,
gray and blue eyes, are more likely
TO be injuriously affected than brown
eyes. These eye troubles are ascribed
10 two causes, viz, the intensity of the
light and the action of the ultraviolet
rays. Oculists recommend the interpo-
sition between the eye and any power
full light of a transparent substance,
which win intercept the ultraviolet
rays, such as, for instance, uranium
glass, which Is yellow The French
naval authorities supply dark blue
glasses for the use of those who have
to do with searchlights, etc, and the
cases In which injury has been caused
to the eyes were those of men who had
neglected to use their spectacles,
which, however, do not appear to af-
ford any protection against the ultra
violet rays.-Washingt Star.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
BRITISH ACTIVITY IN cANADI

BRITISH ACTIVITY IN CANADA.
There can be no DOUBT that the Eng
lish Government has made a distinct
change In its attitude toward the Do
minion of Canada. For many years
the policy was to relax the intimacy Of
the ties with the parent country, and to
cultivate the virtue OF self-reliance in
the group Of Canadian provinces. But
within a recent period England has
placed a new estimate on the vast slice
of North America that Is under its flag,
and is drawing nearer to it politically,
counting its special demonstrations of
loyalty, faVoring 1t financially, and
strengthening its means of defence. No
longer ago than the ministry of Dis
raeli the colonies, and, not least of all,
Canada, we're considered burden, CIV
ing no adequate return for the care
they imposed on the home government.
All that has passed away as far as Can
ada is concerned. At the recent jubilee
the Canadian premier was loaded with
titles and decorations, ana the signs are
numerous that Canada is now much on
the minds of British statesmen. The
status OF the Dominion has suddenly
risen in Importance.
The reasons for this significant
change are not hard TO find. Canada is
a vast possession. Its area is equal Ia
that OF the United States, and il is in
the track Of the worlds development
running for ages from east to west
England reads in the enormous growth
of the population and wealth Of this
country that the day is not far distant
when our lead in almost every direc-
tion will be established. If the United
States could reach so great a develop
ment in century 1t must seem to Eng
land that Canada, which is adjacent to
us, and also stretches from ocean to
ocean, must have somewhat similar
possibilities The British islands are but
dots in the sea. Canada is half conti-
nent. IL is undeveloped, and therefore
unspoiled. England, stung by the re-
cent effort in Europe to isolate It, has
drawn nearer the colonies in order to
readjust its position, and Canada is the
chosen favorite Of the flock.-St Louis
Globe-Democrat

There are no prisons in Iceland In
its history Of 900 years only two thefts
are recorded and in both OF them the
booty was sheep. One, a native, who
stole to keep his family from starving
while he was recovering from a broken
arm, was given employment and food,
the stigma attached to his crime being
considered sufficient punishment The
other theft was by a German, who stole
seventeen sheep. There was no excuse
for his action. for he was in comfort
able circumstances. The sentence
passed upon him was that he should
sell all his property, restore the value
OF what he had stolen and then leave
the country or be executed. II is need
less to say what he did. And yet there
are men and women who would like 70

LONDON AS A HEALTH REsC


IL may seem a rather bold thing to
question the general belief that towns
are necessarily unhealthy, and that
anyone in search OF health must look
for it on the mountains or at the sea.
Mountains and sea, pine forests and
mineral springs are all very good for
people who habitually reside in cities,
but It is beginning to dawn on medical
men that cities have also their advan-
tages and that nothing is so good for
the ailing country residents as a course
OF theatres and music halls, art CALLER
les and parks, hotels and cabs and res
taurants. Among cities London stands
out triumphantly as the healthiest in
the world. Medical men have, in fact.
ere now prescribed, with the best re
suits. a month on the Hampstead Hills
instead of a Swiss tour as a nerve
tonic; they have discovered that con-
sumptive patients thrive remarkably
well In the sunny air of Lewisham and
Sydenham.
What this Is due to is a matter of no
Importance. Some authorities put IL
down to the abundant ~and excellent
though much maligned water supply.
Certainly the death rate from all kinds
OF fever Is surprisingly low, and fevers,
as Is well known. are mainly dissent
mated by drinking water. Then, aga n,
the soil is dry and warm, conditions
most favorable for those inclined to
rheumatism. An ingenious sanitarian
says that even the fogs have their uses.
According to modern theories every
thing in the way Of illness. from a cold
In the head to an attack of cholera, is
produced by the ubiquitous micrcbe
But microbes have a horror of London
fogs, and, when AN approaching swarm
smells one. IL beats as PERCEPTIONS a re-
treat as a Greek army.
Compared with most continental
cities London,has the great advantage
that II expands outward to the green
fields. The cities Of the continent. be-
ing surrounded by unyielding defensive
walls, can only grow up toward tht
sky, and fat life is certainly not the
healthiest.
If statistics were not SO dry il would
be easy to show in figures that all these
causes together make London a veri
table sanitarium. It's death rate il
lower than the country districts o.
Lancashire, Monmouth. Durham, York
| shire and NOrthamptOnShire. Only
people die Of cancer in London to 10 IL
Rutland and IL in Huntingdonshire
only 2 die Of nervous disorders to II
Yorkshire and Wales; only II die from
heart and blood vessel diseases TO rs II
all England and 20 to "a in many coun
ties.
What class OF ailing people ought Il
come to London? Nervous and dyspep
tic patients are sure to derive benefi
from the CHEEKY life Of the streets, rheu
matte people will be better off here thai
in most parts Of the country, while 70
those afflicted with liver nothing
equal to an occasional visit to the me
tropolis. DR.. Weber. the great Germa'
hyglenist, says that Englishmen do no
at all properly realize what a valuabl
health resort they have close to thei
homes. Short visits TO London" h
writes, ION the part of elderly person
who habitually reside in the countr
districts Of England and in smalle
English towns would promote healt
and prolong life many years s'-Londo
