felt.
At one time he went to preach in a
town some miles distant from Lunenburg

and hungry. 1t was proposed to have
prayers at once and then supper. after
which the minister could go directly to
his bed and get long nights rest. TO
this he agreed and the family was called
together.
The supper was to consist mainly Of
Indian cakes. which were set to bake on
platters in front of the fire. The par
sons seat was opposite the kitchen door.
The service began. but in moment

Private nurses receive from SIS to sos

their earnings are more or less pre-

ROSTERS WOODEN LEG.
The Manned Fowl Acquires Unusual
Dexterity and Is Always Will
ing to Fight.

A rooster that struts about with a
wooden leg is the rather unusual sight
to be seen on n farm few miles from
Middletown, N. Y. The rooster lost one
OF its legs. last summer as the result of
too intimate acquaintance with now
ing machine. 1t was only a chick at
the time, and Mr.. Mapes' son found it
soon after it had been injured and cared
for it. The leg had been cut off just be-
low the knee joint, and the boy, after
the wound had healed, cut piece of
stout twig to the right length and tied
1t tightly to the stump Of the leg. The
chicken seemed much surprised and
was very awkward at first, but it soon
became accustomed to the use of the
artificial leg and learned to run about
on 1t at almost as we'll as if the leg had
been its natural one.
The wooden leg has been renewed
several times. Last winter. when 4 .vas
icy, the rooster had a hard time Keeping
its footing, and when II took tumble
IL was by no means easy for 1t 10 regain
an upright position. II was also very
difficult for 1t to make Its way about
through the snow, but now it asks no
odds of my of the fowls on the place
and Is ready at any time to fight with
any other rooster that gives it cause
for battle.

General Boynton has made a report to
the adjutant general at Camp Thomas.

in answer to the published report of the
Sanger board criticising the fitness of

expresses regret that various favorable
opinions OF regimental officers testifyine-

wholesomeness of its water supply were
not referred to in the report of the board.

made by the chemist of the Philadelphia
board of health On the other hand Cen
eral Boynton says, by authority of the
Secretary of War, the Park board had
every spring used by the troops analyzed,
and all were shown to be pure.
General Boynton does not agree with
generally burned" but shows that there
was great laXity in this matter, which
continued up to the time the troops guilty
of this neglect left the camp. The Park
force of laborers is still gathering and
burning garbage left by the troops.
General Boynton says further that in the
camps of the 9th Pennsylvania, 18th New
York, 9Th Pennsylvania and 18th Mime
sofa, regiments of General Sanger's divis-
ion, the sinks were very bad, and so near
the tents in some cases that swarms of
flies went back and forth from the tents
to the kitchens. and in one case to the
officers mess The distance from the
kitchens of the Sth New York to the sinks
of the men was thirty steps en- one plank
and fifty at the center of the camp, and
the SINKS vele In disgusting condition. The
insanitary conditions are quite sufficient
to account for disease without condemning
