sashss Worn by Army Surgeons aud Their
3 ~ History.
= A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
Ii is not so much an insignia of rank rs
it is a protection tothe wearer. Accord
ing to the code of war, surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To DELHI
erately shoot a surgeon while he is
wearing his sash Is considered a viola.
ton of the code, punishable by death.
Because of this provision surgeons Of
n army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the other army If it is posi-
BILE for them to do SO. During the civil
war it was often the case that after o
battle the field hospitals would contain
almost an equal number of men dressed
In blue and gray. The Federal army
bad the best surgeons and the best
stores, and a wounded Confederate con.
sidered himself in great luck if he was
removed to a Federal hospital to be
cared for by Federal surgeons and ply
sicians.
But in the heat Of battle a green sash
is not much protection, and surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But this
did not keep the surgeons at the rear
until the battle was over. They were
often found in the thick Of the fray,
dressing wounds and sending the wound
ed to the rear. Theirs was a perilous as
well as a noble duty, and they perform
ed it well.-Omaha World Herald.

how n silent antagonism had sprung
up from the first between Roslna Freoll
and me. Roslna was of Italian descent,
n buxon, crimson-cheeked girl, with a

vain little head. She was of a quarrel

n week she was fined for being tardy

Sawdust Is Found TO Be a Very Good
Filler.
The use of paper in the manufacture
Of high grades of bricks for interior
homework, trimmings, facings and for
decorative purposes is evidently much
on the increase. says the Philadelphia
Record. Already some very good sam
pies Of enameled paper brick have
been shown. In the latest process of
making and enamellng the paper bricks
the bricks are made on the hollow prin-
clple. The object of making the brick
hollow is practically the same as sought
In the making Of hollow forged steel
shafting. Not only is a defective cen
ter removed, but It IS possible to put a
mandreI into the hollow, and by apply
ing pressure, the walls are operated
upon both from the inside and from the
outside.
When a solid body is heated, the tenn
perature of the interior always varies
from that of the outer portion at first
often resulting in an expansion of ont

these reasons the plan of forming the
bricks upon the hollow principle, plug

Food from the Water.

1t has been demonstrated that an
acre of water may be made to yield
more food, with less labor, than an acre
of land. To clothe an old proverb with
anew dress, itmay be said that there are
as good fish In the sea as ever came out
of 1t. and with a proper organization of
the apparatus of fish Matching the
world would become better acquainted
with a greater variety Of food fish than
1t knows Of now, and even people who
live far from the water would have a
delightful variety added to their daily
bills of fare. In Maryland much anx-
iety Is being felt as to the probable ex-
tinction of the terrapin. The latter has
its uses. but only a comparatively few
would regret It's loss, while in tens Of
thousands of homes of toilers a plenti-
full fish supply would be a beneit.-Phil-

May-Dusk Rain.


To the morn, when the gold of the taper
That mellowed the east for a space,
Is lost In the fold of the vapor
That trails a torn banner of lace
To the grain-mingled musk of the daytime
Its lit and its laughter belong, be
But In the warm dusk of the May-time
1t comes like a sigh and a song.
Perfumed by the breath Of the mazes
OF flower-weeds, tangled and tossed,
And sweet with the death of the daisies
The season has layished and lost;
In the cloud-woyen dusk of the daytime
Its mild ministration is blest,
But In the pure musk of the May-tlme
At twilight it's rapture and rest.
As soft as the lip of the billow
That touches the argentine sand,
And light as the dip OF the willow
In waves that are buoyant and bland,
And sweet as the heart Of the hay ,time,
And faint as the wind in the grain,
In the dusk and the musk OF the May-tim,
Are the redolent tears of the rain.
