REMEMBERED THEIR DEAD.

The Seventh o. v. 1. Hold Appropriate
Memorial Exercises Under the Folds OF
old Glory.
CANT. ALeER, Falls Church, Va, May
S1.-(Special Correspondence This Is
the most delightful day yet exper'
fenced in camp, This morning there
was almost frost and the cool winds
from the north have an invigorating
effect upon those who are in the least
afflicted with ennui, so common in
camp on sitting summer day. Con-
sequently the whole regiment, with
few exceptions, is in excellent physi.
cal condition.
A scarcity of water still exists here
and every well nearby is closely
guarded. Every man in order to OBJ
tain bucket of water for any purpose
must get water permit and then must
be passed out by a commissioned Of
ficer. To lessen the Inconvenience in
securing water, companies II and b
co-operated in digging well at the
end of their street. At depth of 20
feet largr supply of fairly good water
was found. These are the only comp
anies that have yet sunk wells, but
others of the Seventh will probably
follow the example,
The Seventh spent Memorial day in
camp and though there is no soldiers
cemetery nearer than Alexandria, the
day was not permitted to pass unob-
served. Fitting and patriotic ceremo-
les were held in the afternoon by the
regiment while assembled under the
stars and stripes, kissed by the south
ern breezes, as it f1oated from the top
of 70-foot flagstaff. A stirring ad-
dress replete with patriotic sentiment
was given by Chaplain Life. The
Seventh's band played martial and
patriotic airs, and taps announc ced in
sweet and solemn tones the last sleep
of the soldier dead.
A list of the houored heroes of the
Seventh, for whom yesterdays cere-
monies appropriately commemorated,
was read, among them the following:
Company B, Athens-William Evans,
G. w. Atkinson, 81. Lawhead, John
Pyles, W. S. Wilson and Harvey Will
son.
Company D, Lower Salem--J. L.
Stanley, Perry Moore, John Henninger,
Charles Rapp, ossie Stacey and ". J.
Zumbro
Company E, New Matamoras-James
Mcknight, Charles Young and Brady
Lovett.
The name of each company was ar
tistically made of stones at the end OF
each street. The stones were white
washed and were beautifully deco
rated with cedars, wild flowers, moss
and ferns. Some of the designs showed
considera ble skill and until late last
night were illuminated with candles

WITCH wREArHs.
Queer Survival OF an 0ld-TIme super
stitious Belief in Parts of
Pennsylvania-

A remarkable object illustrating a
popular survival of the belief in witch
craft has been presented to the museum
of the University of Pennsylvania by
Prof. William Romaine Newbold. 1t
consists of a matted ring of chicken
feathers, about three inches in diameter,
described as witch wreath" 1t was
secured by DR.. George b. Kline, of Pitts
bufgh, who gave it to DR.. Newbold, who
transferred 1t to the museum.
A resident of Pittsburgh, who had
been i'll for several years, died in July,
1897. During his last illness, extending
over several months, he would frequent
ly throw his pillow away, saying:
There is something in that pillow that
hurts my head" His wife said that this
was impossible, as she had gathered the
feathers and made the pillow herself
a few years before. Some days after
her husbands death the widow claimed
that something seemed 10 say 10 her:
Look at the pillow" Upon opening the
pillow she found the object within.
When questioned closely she declared
that the sewing was hers and that it
showed no signs of having been tam
pered with. The neighbors believe in
the woman's truthfulness.
DR.. Kline writes that's similar wreath
was found in the pillow of a six-year
old child who died of the same disease
and about the same time as the above
mentioned patient. This was burned by
the witch doctor without DR.. Kline see
ing it, but he is informed that it was pre-
cisely like this one. BY inquiry DR..
Kline learned of four or five other fam
lilies who were said to have found witch
wreaths in their pillows, and who
ascribe to their presence cases of illness
in their families.
1t appears that belief in the evil eff
fects of witch wreaths is extremely
common in parts of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey among the descendants of
German settlers. and it used to be Gus
tomary to put Bible under the pillow
to prevent their forming philadelphia

papers that she is employed in a
factory, but finds the work severe
strain, and asks if she could not Sc.

Housekeepers are always glad to get

SUICIDE BARS INSURANCE.
Person killing Himself while Sane Cannot
Realize on His Policy.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1S.-In the SUI
preme court Justice Harlan handed
down an opinion in the case of A.
Howard Ritter, executor of William
NJ. Runk, VS.. the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company of New York, involving
the question of whether the heirs of a
man who commits suicide when in
sound mind can recover on an insur-
ance policy. 1t appeared from the
facts that Mr.. Runk. a resident of Phil
adelphia, committed suicide within
less than year after increasing his
insurance TO the extent of $500, 900,
making an aggregate insurance of
$500, 900 upon his life. II was shown
in the trial court that Runk was sane.
In deciding the case Justice Harlan
said that in fixing the premium the
company would naturally take into
consideration their circumstances
bearing upon the duration of life, and
no company would undertake to insure
against suicide. If any should make
such an attempt, it would, he said. be
against public policy and would
not be allowed. Concluding, he said
that no person committing
suicide and found to be of sound mind
could recover upon his policy.

HOW TO PRINT a BOOK.
Cannot BE Taught in m Essay
NOiukso.

How properly to plan or print book
is not to be taught in an essay or even
in a volume. AS well try to give a
formula for the painting of picture or
the writing of a poem, says the Outlook.
1t must be presupposed that the planner
of a new book is familiar with we'll
printed books. that he has some knowl-
edge of the processes Of printing and
that he will take counsel with experts.
Refusal to seek this counsel often leads
to serious consequences.
An author who insisted on being his
own publisher began an extensively IL
Illustrated quarto before page was put
in type by ordering the full-page illus
trations TO be printed IN an improper
position on the leaf. In disregard of ar
other protest from the topographic
printer he insisted on faulty margins
about the pages of type. When the
sheets were gathered by the binder the
complete book showed too much back
margin for the type and too little FOR
the illustrations. The binder had to cut
off the backs of the folded sections to
reduce all the print to single leaves and
to resew each leaf by an expensive and
unworkmanlike method. So treated.
the book barely passed acceptance. The
lost time, wasted paper, increased cost
and bad workmanship could have been
avoided if the author had formed plan
and counseled with an expert.

ator " Billy Mason of Chicago, and
the proprietor Of a Pennsylvr MIA

started by the Senator who wante d

persons without baggage registering,

The result was a row Ia which the

When wear begins to exceed re-
pair in your body you are going to
fall sick. The signs of it are: loss
of flesh, paleness, weakness, nervous
ness, etc. The repair needed is food.
You think you eat enough, and yet
you feel that you wear out more
tissue, energy, nerve force, than
your food makes for you. The diff
fculty is that you do not digest
enough. And this is SO serious it is
worth sitting down seriously to
think about If you can't digest
what you eat, take few doses of
Shaker Digestive Cordial. The effect
of it will be to increase your flesh
and make you feel stronger. You

Mount, upon whose suggestion the
board of tax commissioners acted when
it directed that township assessors list
life insurance policies, says he will
give the subject prominence in his
message to the Legislature and will ask
that the law be amended so as to state
specifically that policies shall be
taxed. The governor says as rule
men do not carry life insurance with
view of providing against poverty;
they carry it as an investment. Under
the decision of the supreme court a life
insurance policy that has cash sur
render value is property" and the
governor says there is no valid reason
why it should not be taxed.

vast audience while the softer parts
were sung; and nc one Joined even IN
the chorus at first, for everybody was
listening. The instant, however, that
strain closed, the applause broke like a

hands was like the taking flight of a
thousand doves all over the vast arena.
Behind those twinkling hands the light
dresses of the ladies and the blue
blouses of workingmen seemed them
selves to simmer in the air; there was
no coarse noise of pounding on the
floor or drumming on the seats, but
there was a vast cry of Bis! Bis" sent
