The lot of the young soldier who has
been shot but is well enough to be sent
Iorth for treatment is not altogether
unhappy. In Brooklyn, we are in
formed, where many wounded heroes
now have all the comforts of home,
scores of pretty maidens are begging
to be allowed to lust stroke aching
heads and bathe fevered brows." They
overflow the corridors of the hospitals
and importune every one, but to all
the pleading is turned a deaf ear.
The corps of trained nurses is quite
sufficient for the demand. But even
the arraying of the trained against
the unframed has not dampened the
patriotic fervor of the applicants, and
L truce has been agreed upon whereby
the eager maidens are to be allowed
10 read to the soldiers and write their
letters for them. War has its sunshine
as well as its shadows.

succeeded in interesting Edward Roberts
of Boston, and that he had consented 10
undertake the floating OF boz d, 10 the
amount OF $780, 900 among investors in

twenty years, and draw 5 per cent. Mr..
Edwards, who was interviewd with

that he had entered into the agreement
with Mr.. Cutler and his associates look

that he would press the work as vigor-

With the project itself he is more
than favorably impressed, and said that
were it for unsettled conditions conse-

everything could be put through with
very little effort. However, the prize is
one that should be benefited by war, a.

exception OF few irrigated fields, 70
beets are expected from Anaheim. At
Florence, where the crop was thought to
be safe, the wind last week badly injured

water is being used west of the factory.

Tin Can Irrigation in Gardens.

Owing to the scalding of the plants r
the baking OF the ground, surface appli-
cation OF water during the hot, dry
season is often injurious rather than
beneficial By thoroughly satursting
the subsoil. leaving the airy sariac, to
act as mulch, the plants get the inll
benefit OF all water applied, without
harm. This can be done by digging a
miniature reservoir foot or 20 from the
plant hill. and with long, straight rcd
opening an underground passage to the
roots OF the plant A much better plan,
however, is 10 take old tin cans that can
BE- picked up in any quantity in all
rubbish piles or dumping grounds, and
perforating their sides near the bottom

Beet Crop Conditions.

Despite all the adverse conditions we
have had this spring, there yet promises
to be partial beet crop to record.
Since the wind OF last week, however,
the prospects have been much more
discouraging, as quite large acreage
was injured or destroyed at that time.
Mr.. Roupp OF the agricultural depart
D,ent OF the factory yesterday showed us
his record OF the crop to last Saturday
the report being made up weekly. There
had been planted up 10 Saturday on the
Chino ranch 3244 acres. on this there
are 1000 acres on the lower black land,
which Mr.. Roupp says is looking very
well. The plants are growing thriiti!y
and unless something yet happens, will
produce crop. The balance, planted
mostly on sandy land, is not of much
value, especially since the wind and hot
weather Of last week.
OF the acreage planted, there is at
present All acres OF good stand. Mr..
Roupp considers that there are some
thing over 1000 acres on which it IS yet
safe to plant, but planting will all be
completed next week. He expects to
have about 1900 acres planted for the
season.

ENGINEERS FOR THE ARMY.
Hardships and Peril the Lot of the
Mechanical Dranch of
the Militia. -..l

The present quite large United States
army has been found deficient in the i'm
portant matter Of engineers, the bat
TALON consisting of only 500 men. a
brigade Of three regiments ofvolunteer
engineers IS now being recruited-two
in the west and one in the east. These
are special organizations which the
president has been authorized to accept.
These regiments are made up entire
ly of skilled mechanics of all kinds
general utility or handy men-who can
do almost anything Of mechanical ma
ture. Among them are found machin-
lists, electricians, telegraph linemen.
carpenters, timber trainers. .r!nHc! men.
bridge men, erecters. iron men, riggers,
lumbermen, boatmen, railroad men and
SO on.
These men are being chosen with
great care. none but first-class workmeu
passing muster. No clnss of men enter
ing the army make SO great { sacrifice,
from n pecuaiary standpoint, ,s do these
engineers. They all earn good wnSes-
none less than three dollars, and some
more than four dollars a day-st their
trades. They resign this lucrative en-
ployment to serve their country for
s2o.4o per month as irst-class privates
and $3.50 as second-class pr!vates.
Each company consists OF 81 men,
who are graded by the officers. Their
mechanical knowledge and ability as
workers are to be utilized in the con-
struction and destruction OF fortifca-
tions, field works, iutrenchments,
bridges. roads, railroads, tunnels and
general field engineering work. In ad-
dition to their regular service they are
armed and drilled. as infantry soldiers.
and are expected to fghtawhcn nece.-
sary, particularly in their own defense.
Their position is a hazardous one,
since they will often be called upon to
work under the direct fire Of the enemy.
They will, us a matter of course, be we'll
supported, but they. rather thsn the in
fantry that undertakes to protect them,
will draw the Spanish fire.
These regiments will prove invaluable
in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philip
pines, where much engineering work
must be done. One company of the reg
ulars has already sailed for Mauila.-

guns is as great as the difference Of the
two navies with big guns The Span.
iards have demonstrated that they can

tan that in all the world you will not
find any soldiers who are such good
marks men as ours, and the men of the
national guard are not far behind.
"The great skin in marksmanship
which is possessed by the regular army
and the national guard is expected to
give them an overwhelming advantage
over the Spaniards. The latter are mis-.
cradle shots and under poor fre dis
cipliue. In the battles with the Cubaus
it was reported that every time the
Spaniards fired they emptied the maga
zines of their rifles, which contain five
cartridges, without taking any particu-
lar aim, and eonsequeAtly without do
ing any damage. Our troops, on the
other hand, are trained shots, and the
fire will be deadly. -.,. =
Especial :" attention has been pain in
the army to firing as as-skirmishers. In
the skirmishere' practice the men start
at 600 yards and go toward the targe<
Mt the double until buglc sounds.
Then they throw themselves down and
fire as many shots aS they can at the
target during half q minute. Again the
bugle sounds, and they rise, run for
ward for hundred yards, lie down and
hre again. They keep this up till with
in 200 yords Of the target, at which
point they turn and retreat, lying down
and firing in the same manner. They
have prac,iced this till they can work
their guns so fast that II looks as il
n continuous stream Of fire was coming
from the muzzles. Al the same time
they have attained eataccuracy. The
same thing is well done BY. the national
guard of Massachusetts. New Jersey

has yet done little in teaching her ma.
.tional guardsmen to fire as skirm is hers,
