A Chaplain's Influence.

1--WE count our chaplain as good as a
hundred men in n fight" said rough,
brave officer, in the civil war. That Off
Ger was personally indifferent to the
chaplains ministrations, but as mill
tary man he valued the chaplain's in
fluence over the men when they were
under fire.
DIR. Henry Clay Trumbull quotes that
officers remark in his "War Memories
of an Army Chaplain" to make clear
the fact that there were times when the
presence of a chaplain with his regi-
.nent under fire was inspiring to both
officers aud men. He relates also this
incident:
Toward the close of the first day of
Gettysburg the Irish Brigade awaited
the order to advance. The Roman
Catholic chaplain of the Eighty-eig hth
New York, Father Corby, proposed to
give absolution to all the men before
going into the fight He stood ON a
large rock in front of the brigade. The
brigade was standing at order arms.
As he closed his address. explaining
what he was about to do, and remind
ing them of their duty as soldiers, ev-
erv man, Catholic and nonCarholic,
fell on his knees.
"Maior General Hancock removed his
hat. Father Corby. stretching forth his
right hand. pronounced the words of
the absolution.
"The act was in harmony with the
surroundings. The men fought the bet
to- for their ehaplain's inspiring words.
For some Of the soldiers it was their
last religious service. They knelt there,
and in half an hour their uniforms were
their grave-clothes Their hearts were
moved to contrition by the appeal of
the good chaplain and by the scream of
Whitworth's shells"

Nostalgia, or Inconsistencies.

Nostalgia, said the doctor, as, l
suppose, common to all the armies. The
stories told of inconsistencies in the old
continental army are not unlike the ex-
periences of volunteers in the civil
war. 1t required more tact and skill
10 treat successfully bad case of nos
talgia than an average case of typhoid,
and 1t was as contagious as measles.
One man worrying about not hearing
from his family or grieving over an in
valid mother who wrote despondently
would give whole company the blues.
All the men would imagine there was
sickness or trouble at home, AID the
next morning there would be long
line of depressed men at sick call.
"A regimental surgeon had to know
his men well to meet such a crisis.
With some the treatment had to be Sc
rlous, with others a laugh or a joke
was the cureall. The major of one
regiment was a genial man and great
joker, and he was of great service TO
me when nostalgia threatened to be-
come epidemic. At sick cal when the
line was long the major would seat
himself on a cracker box near my quar-
tiers with the remark, Doctor, this line
is too long for you to handle in time;
let me help YOU. Then he would be-
gin: Yes, here is Jones, bully good
fellow, who can walk the legs off an
army mule. But | see he is sick
after commanding Jones to stick out
his tongue, the major would add with
professional gravity: Doctor, this is
serious case. would advise you to
give him three pills and powder at
once, and repeat the dose every hour,
until death ensues. If the case was
simple nostalgia or common. everyday
blues, the man disappeared from the
line and was often joined by others,
who cared more TO listen to the majors
raiilery and funny stories than TO CON
suit the surgeon. In those times we
tried TO have wag or joker in every
Sibley tent. Chicago Inter Ocean.

ConIDar son,

1T takes country boys to make sol
diers," said the grizzled old man who
had scraped his feet on the bricks out
side the lunchroom with great care be-
fore he entered. 1T takes boys that's
been used to work as long as the sun'H
shine, and well into the night if the
moon happens to be full"
I've heard that" remarked the man
who was neat in dress and nervous Of
manner. But | have my doubts
ITS true. Look at the discipline a
country boy gets. He's olt in all sorts
of weather and he gets his muscles as
hard as iron. He has endurance
Yes. He builds up splendid con-
stitution But he has no means of In
uring himself against the perils which
surround an army"
That's the point was just trying to
make. He puts fresh air into his lungs
and good plain food into his stomach
and makes himself set of muscles
that pay no more attention to a heavy
load than the fiywheel of an engine
pays to speck of dust on its rim.
THE country boy is good and strong,
I'll admit But he hasn't had any
practice in digesting things that call
on mans stomach TO stand up and do
its duty with all its might. He doesn' I
rush away from his work and drink a
pint of coffee and swallow a chunk of
any kind of pie that happens to be left,
every day at noon. He doesn't ride on
the back of a street car. with snow
water dripping down inside his coat
collar. nor stay up half the night before
going to .theaters and parties. He
doesn't eat ice cream and drink strong
coffee at midnight and then start in for
days work the next morning as If
nothing had happened. Your boy may
beat ours for natural strength, but
tell you, we've got the seasoning"
And the other said he guessed that
taking the matter and averaging things
up would explain why they were pref
ty much to be depended on, no matter
where they came from.-Washington

sappy wood, il has been found to be
not we'll suited. Pears with a firm, de-
terminate growth are less affected
than those of luxuriant growth. A
study of these facts has brought about
revolution in methods of cultivation.
The most successful and profitable
pear orchards at the present time are
those which are cultivated by sowing
clover under the trees.
The clover is not removed from the
ground at any time of the year. 1t is
cut and allowed TO lie and decay upon
the ground, and in this way to act as
fertilizer. When an orchard is being
cultivated the practice is to sow the
clover in July. By early autumn it has
grown ten or twelve inches. and affords
a covering for the ground during the
winter. 1t is cut at blossoming time
the following year. 1t returns TO the
sol. sufficient amount of nitrogen,
which is so material to the healthy
growth of the tree. Potash must also
be applied in some form of CONNER
cial fertilizer, or in wood ashes. The
orchard is kept in a clover sod so long
as the trees are growing satisfactorily.

Where He Got His Wool.

If you want to ask sheep where he
got his wool and why, take a dog into
2 mountain pasture land, and if the
sheep are afraid of the dog they will
invariably run up hill rather than
down. You have your answer. The
ancestors of the domestic sheep like
wild sheep of the present day, lived
among high mountains and needed
their woolly covering to protect them
against the constant cold of the high
atmosphere. They chose the high and
inhospitable region to live in because
they found the fierce. fiesh-eating ami
mails of the plains too strong for them.
A proof of these facts is that the wool
grows on a sheep the year round. Chi

short milk records.

for cows properly than improperly.
A lazy bull is usually an ugly one.
Break him to work and he will become
gentle.
Frozen compost heaps under the sta
Bile windows are menace to dairying
IN the spring.
If dairyman possesses an icehouse,
many vital questions of milk care in
summer are very easily solved.
Fancy stalls and fancy stables are
not absolutely necessary, bur hygienic,
comfortable and humane ones are.
Dairymen who are able TO sell their
butter for a uniform price of % cents
per pound the year around make a
handsome profit on their product.

The man who believes in sheltering

advance of the peasant who keeps his
live stock in Il section of his dwelling
house.
