close auout olocA II the after
noon, when the men of the batteries
begin to prepare for dress parade.
The men have to jump into their full
dress clothes for this evening parade
and look their best. The inspiration
of the bands music as they march IN
review gives m additional squareness
to their shoulders and dragoonish
swing to their movements. American
soldiers are good to look upon. They
must be perfect men physically to get
into the service at all, and as recruits
they are given much athletic training.
During the autumn and winter, first
call for retreat is sounded during the
progress of dress parade, and assembly
for retreat goes at the conclusion OF
the march in review. Then the men
answer to their names for the last
time of the military day, the echoes
of the evening gun reverberate
through the post, the colors, while
the band solemuly plays "fhe Star
SpaDgled Banner" are struck, and the
men of each battery are marched to
their quarters and dismissed, to re-
sumo their everyday uniforms for
supper.
There is nothing in the way of duty
to be performed by the soldiers after
supper. II their names are not on the

Immediately after breakfast the men
whose names have been read out at

preparations for going on guard. 1t
is necessary that they should make
elaborate preparations, for woe betide
the soldier who mounts guard with
pinhead of dirt, dust, rust or tarnish

botanical name OF sarracenia, but it is
commonly called the pitcher plant,
from the fact that its leaves are rolled,
into the form of pitchers, in which
many poor fly is caught. The aies
are attracted to the plant by sweet
liquid which it gives off, and in their
greediness they go little too far and

good reason for it. else its pitchers
