"Git in thar, durn yer," from the Texan teamster. the mules swung round from tho road up the steep bank into the hospital field, you saw as the wagon tilted that under the palm leaves pale, bandaged men were lying. They groaned in agony as the heavy, springless wagons rocked and jolt ed.
 But the ammunition wagons and the few ambulance wagons did not carry them all. For hobblng down the steep bank from the hospital came bandaged men on foot. They sat down for awhile on the bank as far as they could get from the tumble of mules and wagons in the lane, and then setting their faces toward Siboney they commenced-to walk it. They were the men whose injuries were too slight for wagon room to be given them. There was not enough wagon accommodation for them whose wounds rendered them help lessly prostrate. So let the men who had mere arm and shoulder wounds, simple flesh wounds, or only one injured leg or foot walk 1t. Siboney was only eight miles away.
 There was one man on the road whose left foot was heavily bandaged and drawn up from the ground He had provided him. - self with a sort of rough crutch made of the forked limb of @ tree, which he had padded with bundle of clothes. With the assistance of this and a short stick he was padding briskly along when I over- took him.
 "And you're walking back to Siboney. Wasn't there room for you to rider" expected an angry outburst of indignation in reply to this question. But I was mis- taken. In plain, matter-of-fact way he said:
 Guess not. They wanted all the riding room for worse cases 'nmine. Thank God. my two wounds are both in the same leg, so can walk. quite good and spry. They told me I'd be better off down at the land ing wonder, so got these crutches and made break"
 It was just the same with other walk ing wounded men. They were all beau- tifully cheerful And not merely cheerful. They were all absolutely unconscious that they were undergoing any unnecessary hardships or sufferings. They knew now that war was no picnic, and they were not complaining at the absence of picnic fare. Some of them had lain out all the night, with the dew falling on them where the bullets had dropped them, before their turn came with the overworked field sur geons.
 "There was only sixty doctors with ly. they couldn't tend everybody at once"
 That seemed to them a quite sufficient explanation. It did not occur to them that there ought to have been more doc tors, more ambu1ances. Some of them seemed to have a faint glimmering of notion that there might perhaps have been fewer wounded: but then that was SO obs vious to everybody"

An Exquisite Sachet Perfume.

At this season of the year the sweet smelling herbs for tucking away with the clothing in the winter are gathered. Many ladies are now using sweet clover to the exclusion of all other scents and perfumes. It Is light fragrant and wonderfully in vigorating. Gather great stalks, and when partially dried strip off the leaves and ten- der ends and dry thoroughly, then tie up in bags of thin silk. Flat sachets for dresser drawers are made in the same way, but for the large bags, to hang in the backs of closets, silkoline or any thin cheap ma- teral will answer quite as well.

 July 19, 1898. To tn Commanding General Firts division Eighth Army Corps: Sir: I have to the meritorious and heroic conduct of have the honor to invite your attention to certain officers of the medical department who came under my observation during the battles of July l and g. On the morn- ing of July 1, at about g o'clock. while in execution of an order from you to hurry forward the Second brigade, I was asked by Captain W. B Canister, Assistant Sur geon United States Army, if I thought certain point in the thicket by the road side would be a suitable place for his dressing station. The wounded were com ing in rapidly and many men being hit along the road by the fire of sharpshooters who seemed to fill the trees on both Hanks. There was no Choice of location and Dr. Canister decided to establish his station at this point At this moment Dr. Samuel l. Robinson, Surgeon United States army, arrived and both he and Dr. Canister continued to receive and dress the wounded with the utmost coolness, care and delib- eration, although the enemy's shrapnel and rifle fire had become very heavy and many men were being hit all about them. I was impressed by the intrepidity and courage of these devoted officers and hope that their conduct may receive just recognition. s On. the following day. at about o'clock a. m, while visiting the left of our line in s execution of an order from you, I again i came across Dr. Canister, located with | his station in draw of depression in rear s of the Second and Tenth infantry lines and k tre4ehes. The enemy was shelling this slope continuously with shrapnel and many of our men were being hit, some of them while the draSSf0Q station. Dr RantG- ter was about exhausted, having worked continuously since the time had seen him the morning before, without relief. His supply of bandages, absorbent cotton and other necessaries were entirely gone am sure Dr. Bansters fearless exposure under fire and untiring labors entitle him to especial consideration.

Journalism as a Profession.

Does the novice dream of reputation
also in the fields of journalism? 1t is a
dream indeed He will too often find his
hopes ruthlessly crushed between the
upper milestone of a ceaseless grind of
nerve wearing work and the neither mill
stone OF tear, on the part of his employer,
that the acquisition of some measures of
popularity, the enhancement of profess
slonal reputation in the public esteem
may involve an increase in the office pay
roll. There is no hope of literary laurels
for the writer who sticks to the ranks of
newspaper workers, because, first, news
papers have little use for writings of a
distinctively literary character, and, sec
ond, the training that fits writer for
journalism largely units him for literature
and vice versa. There is a fellow feeling
between the author and the newspaper
man, but no real professional kinship.
Dickens, kipling, Howells, Willard, Haw-
thorne, Stevenson, Hay, Blaine, SAKE,
Whitman, Harte, Twain, Taylor, Murray,
Barrie, and less brilliant luminaries.
abandoned the profitless moiling of news
and editorial service to harvest fame and
fortune in other fields, most of them as
authors-writers OF books. Richard
Harding Davis, Z. w. Townsend, and Opie
Read are following in their footsteps.
Many more are doubtless destined to some
degree OF etfnlgence in the literary gal
aXy.
The book writer looks for a profitable
following among readers who number
millions. If he succeeds, all is well with
nm The newspaper writer is the hired
and often servile dependent Of a
journal whose existence rests wholly upon
the patronage OF the circumscribed region
wherein il circulates; and the amount OF
his salary depends no more on his own
capacity than on the ability Of his employer
to induce people to buy the paper, and
business men to advertise in it. The book
maker is in business for himself: the
other is not. The right to work book for
money! book of course with a proper
motive is just as clear as the right of a
merchant to sell honest goods for money.
The book may not always be ''literature:'
but if it has the selling quality, and lifts
the author above want, it certainly works
some good to him and to the world, and
therefore needs no further justification.
There are few celebrated editors They
may be counted on one S ten fingers. The
regulations which some of them enjoy are
due as much to their positions as publish
ers as to their ability as editors OF writer's
possibly even more. Walter Avenel in

An OdorIess Onion.

The latest product of scientific propa-
cation is the odorless onion. Just how
an onion can be odorless and still re-
main an onion is not explained. To most
people the odor is all there is of an onion.
and that is enough. The elimination of
the characteristic feature of vegetable of
such long and strong standing in natural
history ought to be reckoned among the
proudest achievements of man. But an
onion deprived of that delicious tang and
the penetrating scent which goes with it
can hardly be an onion. The palate
which loves onions will not recognize it:
calling a whitened, inocuous, insipid.
plated bulb an onion will not make it
one.
No true lover of onions will hail this
new invasion of science. He eats his
onion at dead of night, in silence and
solitude. He rejoices in it and sleeps
upon it. The incense of his praise fills the
room and soothes him to delicious sleep.
He rises in the morning after his sacrifice
to pass the day in publication, to see
no one until the sun hath sunk. 1t is
luxury and worship. Shall he yield
all this delight for an odorless bulb?
Let others do as they will, he will not.
An onion without it's odor would be
ashamed of itself. Milwaukee Journal.

very we'll.
If one loves Nature and an outdoor life,
there is no life so full of charm as that of
a camper, under favorable circumstances
i. e., good weather, comfortable quar-
tiers, and congenial company, though be-
ware of the crowd.
Waking early in the morning we lie
lazily listening to the placid swash OF the
waves on the beach below, and the shrill
cry of the blue jay or the plaintive but fas-
cinating call of the loon. Keen hunger
drives US from our warm blankets and we
prepare for breakfast in the bracing air
with the strength of primitive man, draw
ing in with every breath new life and
health and buoyancy. Who would not
envy us, eating our breakfast beneath the
shade of mountains towering far up into
the blue and with the dazzling waters of
the lake almost at our door.
Trout fried to perfection with the crisp
est of pork or bacon, such baked potatoes,
corn cake fit for a king and clear fragrant
coffee, and best of all the appetite that
crowns the whole, makes us thank God
that we are living and that trees, hills and
ever changing lake are His footstoo] where
we, His children, may rest content.
