THE IRON BRIGADE.

IT may be well here for me to state why
ard how our brigade came TO be called the
"Iron E,isade."
Gen. John b. Calls, who died few
weeks ago at Lancaster, Wis, in a letter
TO ne some time since, said: AT South
Mount; in Gen. Hooker came dashing
down tie pike road to his Headquarters TO
get ii mere explicit knowledge OF an order,
when he met Gen. Mcclellan, who asked:
What troops are those advancing each
side Cf the Pike near the gorge, under that
direct, murder0us and catiiading fire.
Hooker replied, That is Gibbons's Bri-
gaze OF Western men, from Wisconsin
and lcdiana.'
"McClellan remarked, They must be
MT &C of iron.
"'Ics,' said Hooker, they are iron, and
if you had seen them at the Second Bull
Run you would know them TO be iron;
they are equal to any troops in the world. )"
! have the Generals autograph letter,
giving the above facts.
During the Fall OF 1851 we were in camp
at Arlington Hights. In the Spring of
1862 we started on march to FrederickS-
burg. 1t was hard TO keep track of my
old boys, for had to stop with the Head
quarters baggage-wagonS, and had To go
after papers to the stations or steamboat
landings, as the case might be; the
papers being furnished 10 us by regu-
lari appointed army agent.
In the early part OF November, 1862,
left camp for Washington to get papers.
1t had showed in the night, and the roads
were not very good, but l saddled my
horse and started, a distance of about 80
miles.

TIE way to be well is to pay attention TO
your kidneys
They are the most important organs of the
bOdy-the blood filters.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys strain or filter ont the i'm
purities in the blood-that is their work.
Purifying your blood is not question OF
taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your bowels
What TIE bowel-cleaner does is to throw
ont the poisons confined in your bowels
ready for absorption into your blood, but the
poisons which are already in your blood,
causing your present sickness, it ieares there.
There is no other way of purifying your
blood except by means of your kidneys
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do their
work-they fail to help the kidneys.
When You are sick, then, no matter what
you think the name of your disease is, the
first thing You should do is to afford aid to
your kidneys by using DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great Kidney Remedy.

help to nature, for Swamp-Root is the most
perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys

Dortant that any fertilizer used to supply
these elements should be thoroughly dis

tribution must be completed before plant

and narrowing again and again are useful
for the purpose.
a wise selection of fertilizers cannot be
secured by rule: it is very largely a mat
ter OF experience. A sandy soil is often

Most soils are benefited by the addi-
ton OF humus, name applied to any
thoroughly rotted vegetable or animal mat
ter. Hun,us may be known by burning
small quantity of soil on red-hct shovel.
II it gives an odor OF feathers, it contains
humus from animal matter; if an oder of
straw, it contains humus from vegetable
matter. Humus forms the richness of
nearly all good land, and rarely is there
too much of it. In close grained, sticky
soils, which have tendency to bake,
the humus produces a looser texture and
better balance in the retention of moist
ure. On loose and leachy soil it brings
the grains closer together and promotes
chemical activity. At the same time it
supplies plant food. Leaves, garden re-
fuse. and barnyard manure made into a
compost and allowed to decay make good
humus. The pile must be turned over
several times each year until it is thor
oughly broken up into a mass OF even
texture.

FLOWING.

Flowing should be done in the Fall in
any haId or cloddy ground, especially in
stiff clays. The clods are left exposed to
the frost, which is natures most effective
agent in opening up soil and putting 1t in
order for plant growth. stiff clay thrown
on edge by the pillow will break up during
the Winter into q mass of tine-gralned
material, almost as open as sand and
well adapted to growing vegetables. But
if the breaking is lett till Spring, or il the
ground broken in the Fall has become
compacted during the Winter, the piow
should be set deep, and narrowing and
rolling continued until a fine, loose con-
dition is secured. AS rule, two plowings
will be better than one, and three better
than two. Prepare the soil thoroughly
before planting Neglect of this will be
felt all through the season. After the
plants are growing it is too late to work
the ground beneath them.
The time to plow in the. Spring is as
soon as deep freezing has ceased and the
ground is In condition 10 be worked. The
proper condition for working can be de-
termined by squeezing little of the soil

Theresa Aguno Cannot Have Another H.adng Of
Case Against Consolidated Road.

Theresa Aguilino's petition for a new
trial in her suit to recover damages
from the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, was to-
day denied by the Appellate Court. In
the lower court jury found verdict
for the defendant Mrs. Aguilino was
seriously injured at the railroad sta
tion in Westerly December 9th, 1898.
She claimed that the car on which she
was a passenger had stopped and as
she was getting off the bottom step it
suddenly started up again. The testi-
mony of the company was that the car
had not stopped, but that she tried 70
get off the car while IL was moving.
An interesting point made by the
counsel for the plaintiff was that
whether or not a car is in motion is
determined by the eye Of the passenger
by looking at external objects, and if
these cannot be seen motion cannot be
determined by the eye and only by the
jar communicated 10 the body. ON this
account he laid great stress on the
point that Westerly station was very
dimly lighted. Judge Tillinghast, who
writes the opinion Of the court, does
not think plaintiff could show other
parties had been deceived and gone on
the platform supposing the car had
stopped as she did. Mrs. Aguilno
had been but a short time in this coun-
fry
