lass Of them TO the number of officers to
handle and watch over.
They were not compelled to sleep on
ground and breath a malarial atmosphere,
hut were sure of dry footing and clean
surroundings.
Their hour allowed for smoking, after
every meal, doubtless assisted in wardlng
off disease. All garbage and Stops were
DUMPED into the deep, and germs could
make very little Roadway.
The statement that mot one man IN the
navy died from disease seems to me in
exact, as am aware of the death of one
of our Detroit boys of the Yosemite, who
died while in service, and possibly there
are Others
Note the differences of our land forces.
Camps have been pitched where water had
TO be hauled from distance of seven or
eight miles, and although spring water
was at hand for drinking purposes, bath
ing facilities were so inadequate that fire.
quently shaving water was regarded as
luxury, and our boys hailed rainstorm
with delight, when they might strip and
become refreshed by a natural shower
bath.
The sink holes surrounding camps at
Chickamauga Park were not only men
ace. but a source of disease germs. Where
the rocky earth would not permit of deep
digging, where the heavy rains washed
away the earth from buried re-
fuse, leaving 1t to steam under
the suns fierce rays; where flies
and insect pests were Industrious carriers
and spreaders of disease--and where pois-
onous vapors were nightly produced sur
rounding and permeahng the sleeping
camp, as the pure salt water air pervades
and invigorates the atmosphere for the
sleeping Jack tar, exempt from these land
foes.
These conditions we understand were I'M
avoidable, and their results inevitable, in
spite of the watchfulness of officers; and
can there be any question as to why sick
ness and death were prevalent? To me,
a comparison between our army and navy
seems alike unjust and unfair.

health of the jackies much more carefully

the health of the private soldiers by
theirs?"
This invites an expression Of opinion,
and as a Michigan officers wife 1 submit
the following:
The sanitary, or opportunities for san
itary, conditions being so very unequal,
7 fail to see the chance or justice of any
comparison between the two. Properly
cooked food has much TO do with ones
health. but not more so than cleanliness
and the water supply necessary for it,,
and this for the jackies was unlimited.
Cleanliness for them was possible, as well
as compulsory, with pumps, machinery and
every facility at hand
They were open to constant inspection

that il was impossible for them to get

1.-THE sending of messenger boys long
distance is a rare occurrence. The only
two instances l know Of" said the man
ager of the New York District Telegraph
Service this afternoon, happened as fol-
lows;
About eighteen years ago New York
manager sent a messenger boy to London
10 announce the success of an actor. He
carried programmes Of the play and de
livered them to the Prince of Wales and
other prominent persons, thereby render
ing the piece very well known.
THE other instance happened only last
fall, when a boy was sent TO Aiken, S.
c., distance of about 500 miles. The VS.
itors there were engaged in private the
atricals, and one gentleman who had his
costumes all packed ready to start from
New York found at tha-s>st moment that
he could not go, so he sent a messenger
to carry his outfit and present his apollo
gies Those are the only cases I've heard
of in about twenty years. The person
sending this boy on the Paris pays all his
expenses, first class, till he gets back to
London"
