BRING THE WOUNDED NORTH.


The following suggestion, most timely
and humane, is found in the columns of
the New York Sun:
'TO what better war use could the gov
ernment put the St. Paul, the St. Louis,
the Harvard, the Yale or any other auxil-
larry cruiser Of great swiftness, available
and needed for the service, than to trans
port at once at tOpmOst speed the wound
ed and the sick of Skaters army from
the pestilential heat of Cuba to the COM
parative comfort Of the hospitals Of New
York and the New England coast"
If adopted the vessels would be doing
only double duty, anyhow. They would
be taking re-enfOrcements and supplies
on the trips southwark, and on the re-
turn bringing back the wounded to the
cool breezes Of the nOrthland. In addi-
tiOn, the sea trip would be of great value
to the poor fellows who have been not
only wounded in battle, but Frustrated
by tropical heat. II the suggestion is
promptly followed, many valuable lives
will be saved. Even if the vessels named
cannot be secured, charter fine passen-
ger steamer and bring all Of the wound
ed north. One ship will bring all of them
back, and in addition bring comfort to
thousands Of anxious ones at hOme.-

O'Clock and lay there till s O'Clock in the
evening, so had all that time to take in
the historic city. The first thing that
Sergeant Newby and did was to go up
town and get good bath and then hot
dinner. The ladies of HillsbOrO gave
each of us half-bushel basket of grub,
enough so that it lasted us until we got
here, and thell we had lots of jelly and
jam for the rest of Co. +, and they were
glad to see us to, l tell you. | have had
everything very nice and easy as yet.
Last night, Sergeant Newby gave me an
introduction to Capt. BOwles, 1st Lieut..
jenkins and 2nd Lieut.. Gordon, | have
not found out yet who our other COM
manders are. 1t isn't nearly as hot here
as people suppose. The sun is warm,
but there is land-breeze all day, and a
sea-breeze all night, and we are camped
in sight of Hillsboro bay and the salt
breeze is fine and refreshing,
The first thing when we got here they
took us all down to the bay and we all
went in for a bath. Had a fine sleep
last night and woke up very much re-
freshed and all went down to the bay
again and took another bath, it was very
dirty riding, and they wanted to work
our appetites up for the breakfast they
gaveIus when we returned, of fried hard
tack, dry ha d-tack, coffee, and hog ba-
con. OAll ate we'll. At the second call,
the bugles say, Cant get 'em up, can't
get 'em up, can't get 'em up at ALL"
They took our measure for uniforms
this morning and expect to be equipped
soon. We were tough looking set
when we reached here and they all said
that my bicycle suit was the freshest
thing in the bunch. In Atlanta nearly
all the boys traded their shoes at pawn
shop for old ones and got little money
to boot, but kept every thing that
had on and was in good condition when

The AGE OF The PEARL.
Probably the Oldest Precious stOn
Known to the AAcieAts.

PROBABLY tAe Ol0eet PRECIOUS btOAO
Known to the Ancients.
The pearl is the one gem that comes
to US perfect from the hand Of nature,
and to this its great antiquity as q
gem rs largely due. says the Popular
Science Monthly. Precious stones
whose beauty and brilliancy depend on
poliehing and cutting would naturally
be discovered and utilized. The discov-
cry of the diamond probably dates
within historic times. Though known
earlier. it was not generally included
among the gem treasures of royalty
even as late as the seventh century. The
modern cutting, of diamonds in regular
facets was invented as recently as 1885.
Indeed, it is quite probable that the
pearl was the first gem known and
treasured by prehistoric man-since
the search for food must have been the
first occupation O. the earliest race
and the shining pearl would thus have
been discovered in river mussels if not
in marine oysters. Certain it is that
the Old Testament and the ancient writ
ten history allude to pearls, and that
remoter evidence is found on the tombs
and excavated cities in still earlier
cras. The Egyptians, Babylonians and
Assyrians held the pearl in an esteem
verging on reverence.

John Habberton states with the SOL
emnity of firm conviction that mos
qutoes are extremely frightened by
dragon flies and will not come within
yards of them. lie says that one or
two dried dragon flies suspended from
fine silk under the roof of an open
porch infested by mosquitoes will scare
all of the little pests away, and they will
not come back while the dragon flies are
there. This, he says, he has tried with
surprising results. 1t is a well-known
fact that dragon flies are predatory and
voracious insects, and that they SUBJ
sist largely upon gnats, midges and
mosquitoes, and it is but natural that
the mosquito, who is a wise insect,
should regard the spindle" "darning
needle" or dragon fly as the small bird
regards the hawk.-Newark Call.

Captain Who would Not Desert . WONA6p
cd Seaman Rewarded By the Queen.
The queen lately conferred the deco
ration Of the Albert medal of the first
class on William John Nutman, late
master Of the steamer Aidar, Of Liver
pool. The following Is an account of
the services In respect Of which the dec
oration has been offered: At two q m.
on January 10, while the steamer Stat
fordshire Of Liverpool was on a voyage
from Marseilles to Port Said, signals Of
distress were observed to be proceeding
from the steamer Aidar, also of Liver
pool. and the Staffordshire immedi-
ately proceeded to her assistance. An
the Aidar was found to be sinking fast,
three of the Staffordshire's lifeboats
were at once launched, and, with great
difficulty, owing to the darkness and
the heavy sea, succeeded in rescuing
her passengers and crew, 30 in number.
At 6: 80 a. m. the only persons left on the
Aitiar we're Mr.. Norman (the mastery
and an injured and helpless fireman
whom he was endeavoriDg to save, and
whom he absolutely refused to aban-
don. The steamer was now rapidly set
ting down, and as it was no longer safe
to remain near her the officer in
charge of the rescuing boat asked Mr..
Nutman for final answer. He still
persisted in remaining with the injured
man, choosing rather to face almost
certain death than to leave him to his
fate. The men in the boat were obliged
to pull away, and Immediately after
ward, at 6:17 a. M, the Aidar gave one
or two lurches and foundered. After
she disappeared Mr.. huffman was seen
on the bottom of an upturned boat, still
holding the fireman. Half an hour
elapsed before the rescuing party could
approach, but eventually Mr.. Nutman
and the fireman were picked up and
taken on board the Staffordshire,
where the injured man was with diff
Guilty restored by the ships surgeon.--

TO CONVERT INGERSOLL.
st. Louis Man Feels Called Upon to
Bring the AEnOstic to Christ.

Bring the AgnOstic to Christ.
Joseph Bloomfield Jackson, of ST.
Louis, claims to have been inspired to
the task of converting Robert G. In
gersolL The plan, as he claims it was
unfolded to him when he awakened
from a sleep on the afternoon of April
%, is to get the great pagan to pro-
nounce certain invocation which he
claims was impaired to him by the Holy
Spirit. Should Mr.. Ingersoll consent
to repeat the invocation Mr.. Jackson ex-
poets the power of God'to come upon
him, as it came upon Saul of TarsuI
over 1890 years ago, and that the ag-
nostic will become faithful servant ol
the God whom he has reviled for SO
long. The conversation is to occur be-
fore the end of October. Mr.. Jackson
believes that God is already working
upon the heart of Mr.. Ingersoll, prepar-
ing it for the reception of the message
which he will take to him as coming
from God.
Mr.. Jackson is successful business
man, having worked his way up from
an Office boy. He claims to be mem
ber of the Mercantile club, and says that
he has paying business, which he will
abandon to go about the duty which
he claims God has called him to per-
form. He lives at the Terminal hotel,
and has a wife, who is now in Pitts
burgh, Pa, visiting relatives, one OF
whom is her uncle, j. NJ. Guthrie. Both
Jackson and his wife have been men,
bers of the Centenary Methodist Epis-
copal church of ST. Louis for two years,
but until now Jackson has never been
particularly enthusiastic in religious
work, although he has always been a
regular attendant at divine service. He
is intelligent, well educated and a per
feet gentleman in every way.
Mr.. Jackson is 33 years old and was
born In Newark, N. j., coming from one
of the oldest families there. His great
grandfather was Presbyterian minis

How to Eat.

The prevalent idea that slow eating
ls very favorable to digestion is large
ly fallacious, says the journal OF
Mental and Nervous Diseases" "The
important point is not that we eat
slowly or fast, but that when We do eat
we chew with energy. OF course.
where the haste is due to some mental
anxiety, this may injuriously inhibit
the secretions Slow eating begets a
habit Of simply mumbling the food
without really masticating it, while
the hurried eater is inclined to swal-
low his food before proper mastication.
Hence hurried eating is bad, but rapid
mastication is advantageous. 1t con-
centrates our energies on the act in
question, and hence more thoroughly
accomplishes it. Moreover, energetic
chewing stimulates the secretion Of
saliva in the most favorable manner
These various points are so commonly
misunderstood, at least by the laity
that they demand our frequent atten-
tion."
