STAINS P CTURES.
They Would Raise Money for War If
 Sold for Cash.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 The desire to send our soldier boys little comforts resulted in such an outbreak or housewives that 1t really seemed as II each man could count upon two at least Of these useful bags. But an army of MO'OoO men con consume a vast heap of such trea- sures, and the demand even yet does not seem to be satisfied. Besides comfort bags, there are many trifies which we can make for the men in camp or field. Tobacco pouches are indispensable to smokers, and most soldiers smoke. Besides the tobacco pouch, which, by the way, should be of chamois or silk, lined with oil silk to prl- tect the tobacco from the rain or damp-a soldier is grateful while in camp for a wall pocket catch-all. The best form of this is the ordinary shoe bag, which is made to hang against the closet door. It Is more useful if a whalebone or rod Is run through

the top hem, and each pocket should have of soft wool are necessary, If not romantic. Men can wear them with comfort in the hottest climate, and they are much better than cotton socks for long marches or fa- tiguing climbs. The abdominal bandage IS not romantic thing either, but Il Is a ne- cessity, rather than luxury and Il Is hlSh- ly appreciated The flannel band is best perhaps, but those which are knitted or oroeheted and, like the woven bandage can be shaped to the figure and yet be elastic enough to slip over the shoulders, are very useful if made carefully. Girls who can crochet or knit, and who despise sewing, can do this work readily. Still another comfort for the soldier is a letter case of black enameled cloth or oil silk, or what ever is impervious to water. For this a piece of material measuring fourteen inches by six is needed. The ends should be bound with braid ribbon and folded over to meet in the middle, forming two pockets. The edges must next be bound with braid and braid must be fastened on one-half by a sheet of cardbroad. The paper supplied should be of very light weight. The onion skin stationery for foreign correspondence is a deluson and a snare and the writing on it is vexatious to do and to read. A slightly heavier grade answers every pur- pose and letter of many sheets goes 4'j. 9 stamp A great quantity of this can De carried without proving burdensome. A fountain pen is a comfort, too, but II ex- pense must be considered an indelible pen cil is the next best thing.

HE GOT EVEN.
An American Paymaster and the Bank
 of England,

From the Philadelphia Times.
 The late Pay master Clark, of the United States navy, of Delaware, was attached tion during the period of the civil war. It may have been the Kearsarge, but it is not important. She was an armed vessel and had been long at sea and came in for coal provisions and to give the men a liberty day on shore. To meet these and other expenses is was necessary to have some eS000 (men are paid in the currency of the country they may be in when on foreign stations) and Paymaster Clark drew sight drafts on the subtreasury of New York through the government agents, J. S. Morgan & Co.,, bankers. in old Broad Street, London Accompanied by the vice. . consul he went to the Plymouth branch of the Bank of England, and presenting his drafts, asked to have them changed for notes and gold. The bank manager, not content with exercising proper commercial scrutiny, was very nasty, and finally said:
 Well I do not know the subtreasury. do not know the paper nor you, and I have never had business with the gentle man who is United States vice consul here, so I won't cash your drafts You say J. s. Morgan will indorse them. You had better go up to London and let him cash them.
 Mr. Clark went out to the telegraph of fee, put himself in communication with MT. Morgan, and MT. Morgan went to the Bank of England in London the manager sent word to the Plymouth branch man. ager and that gentleman came personally to the Royal Hotel and, with his hat in hand begged to be of service to Paymaster Clark in any capacity that gentleman would suggest. The apparently placated paymaster, accompanied by his clerk, ac- companied the bank officer to the bank. The drafts were duly passed over and a large bundle of Bank of England notes placed before the paymaster.
 What are these?" said Clark.
 "Those are Bank of England notes" " "Yes, I see they are notes signed by Frederick May that the bank will pay bear CT, etc. Well, do not know MT. May and of course, I do not know you. This paper may be good, but I have no assurance of that. I'll trouble you for the gold.' The humiliated bank manager had to hunt it up, and Paymaster Clark carried it down to the boat in triumph. 'I would have preferred part of the money in notes,' D he said, "but I couldn't refuse the chance of getting even.'

 An account of the steel plant would be incomplete if no mention were made Of the laboratory, in charge of Dr. W. D. Philips and MT. David Hancock, both well-known and experienced chemists In this labora- tory both crude steel and finished steel are tested Their chemical and physical prop critics are ascertained. For the latter pur- pose the company has placed in the labor atory a Richie automatic and autogfaphlc testing machine of 100000 pounds pressure There is not a better equipped laboratory in any mill in the country. Steel of any desired strength or property can be pro- cured in this mill. and its quality care1uliy and accurately ascertained.
 
 Finished iron and finished steel are the products of this mill, which is the second largest of its kind in the country. Such mill is known in the iron industry as miscellaneous jobbing mill. This means that it will fill an order for any bar, rod' plate or sheet that may be desired. Any form of iron or steel that rolls can squeeze is produced. It's mission is, in fact, to squeeze iron and steel into desired forms' Great power and great machines are heeu- ful, and so are great skill and great eXecu- tive aDllltY, put these nave all DSSl C>SAeSN so long and so well that the mill seems 10 run itself. The best and latest machines and devices and practice are to be found in it. The office is at the mill, and the watchful eyes of President Caldwell and General Manager Ward and Superintehu- ent Dwyer are constantly upon its intricate operations.
 The finished iron and steel ofthe company are sold in all the cotton states ana throughout the southwest, and even on the Pacific slope and in Mexico. Large orders come in from St. Louis, New Orleans and San Francisco. There is not a southern state that does not buy plates or rods or bars from. the Birmingham Killing Mill company. The excellence of it's finished material is well and widely known, and the fact that any shapes or sizes of wrought iron or steel can here be procured Is a great credit to Birmingham. which is. now passing out of the crude, or pig-iron, stage.

Testing His Sight

From the Chicago Post.
 Just sit down in that chair" said the oculist to the patient, whose reputation for financial procrastination and repudia- tion was well known to him; 'I will test your eyes" Then he held a printed sched- ule of his prices with a ''No trust' line at the bottom in front of his eyes and asked: Gan you read that?"
 "I am afraid" replied the patient, reach ing for his hat, "that my case is beyond the reach of human skill.'

Use the "stars and Stripes" for Advertising From the London Sketch.
 A sentimental boycott is being agitated amongst the American colony to be direct ed against a London firm that has been flying the Stars and Stripes, with trade name attached thereto, for an advertise ment. While in England this misuse of the national ensign is not a misdemeanor Uo our shame be it saidD in the United States the Sons of the American Revolution have succeeded in securing legislation that pro- tects their flag from such disgrace. Sev- eral Americans in London are organizing a crusade that shall make "Od Glory hon. ored abroad by citizens of the United States as well as at home. One firm has already very courteously complied with the request to remove its name from the flag, and has substituted a new ensign in place of the old. The Regent street firm, however, has shown less generosity, and it will be inter- esting to see how long 1t will be before the offensive letters are removed. American of their patriotism, are this year in no tenn per to submit to any real or fancied insult to their flag. Such movement as this will spread merrily at the least provocation, even if American ladies have to deny them- selves their national beverage of 'fce cream soda," which is dispensed at this unpopular shop. We might well take leaf out of their book and do as much for the British union jack, which is used as a tradesmans sign not infrequently in London.

MOERLEIN IS AHEAD.
It Is the Leading Beer in the Birming-
 mingham District.

Through the efforts of MT. T. W. O'Byrne, the hustling wholesale dealer, the Christian Moerlein Brewing company's products are away ahead of all competition in the Bir- mingham district. This is no new occur ence, as MT. O'Byrne pushed it three years ago. But it is a good story worth repeat ing, and the best parto the story IS that he has kept it in the lead all the while' each year showing a gratifying increase over its predecessor.
 The brews of the Moerlein company are world-famous for sparkling purity ana H. yigorating qualities. They are not only highly regarded as refreshing beverages, hut the most eminent physicians recommens them to feeble patients and convaa-seehts as the acme of perfection, az tonnes anu healthy nutritiyeS.z~f.r>si1s ma Tn tne pot- fled beer tI,S' gentle stimulation and lnVls- etss...~ required by their delicate systems
 Mr. O'Byrne, who is the sole representa- tive of the Christian Moerlein company in this district, is well equipped for handling the beer in large quantities His ofhces' cold storage, cellars, etc., on PoWeH ave- nue. are as capacious as small brewery itself with all the conveniences or slue- tracks connecting with all the leading rall- ways alongside his warehouse doors. Ills telephone number is 9i6 The beer comes directly to Birmingham from Cincinnati Tn refrigerator cars, and is transferred lmme- diately to the cold-storage vaults without being exposed to the air, and is as fresh, of course as it would be at the brewery.
 MT. O'Byrnes sales last year were enor- nous, amounting to 25,00O barrels, and the present year already shows large n- crease over the same period last year.
 MT. O'Byrne came to Birmingham eleven years ago as bookkeeper for the Moerlein company's agency here. He rapidly pushed to the front, and was soon proprietor or the business here. He is a genial, whole souled gentleman making triends With ev- ,.rv one he meets. and this, with his excel- lent business qualifications. accounts for his well-merited success.

The method Of the police in selecting
them was an unfailing test of the need
of the boys named. Each of the nine
police precincts were given the privilege
of naming nine boys and Anacostia was
given the right to name part of the re-
manning nine. In looking for deserving
boys on whom the generosity of Saks &
Co. might be bestowed, the police say
they discovered some very pitiable cases.
Four of the little fellows whose names
will go to the firm were found sick,

Henry Williams, alias Stewart, who was TO have

opinion that the man walked boldly out of court
The only way in which he could have effected his
