VETERANS IN LINE.
About 400 March to the
Strains of Martial Music.
THEY STEP AS IN DAYS OF OLD

OLD HEROES OF THE CIVIL WAR
MARCHED WITH THE ALACRITY
OF YOUTH OUT TO THE B. & o.
STATION.
To the inspiring music OF three bands
400 Grand Army veterans of this city
marched from their meeting place,
Ninth and King streets, to the middle
depot, at sos o'clock this morning,
where they took a special train for
Philadelphia to take part in the great
G. A. R. parade Of the National En-
campment.
The procession began forming at z
o'clock, but long before the time set for
departure all were assembled, so anx-
ious were the old heroes for the time
to come when they could step side by
side once again with the comrades
whom they had known in days gone
by, when they marched together into
the field of glory. New en-
ergy seemed to be given the
veterans as they marched amid
the flying of flags, beating drums and
the gaze Of an admiring multitude, on
ward to gain another victory-a vic
tory of unlimited honor and respect
for the efficient service which they had
done in the past, and the knowledge
that they were to be honored in being
assigned one of the most prominent
positions in the great parade.
The order of the posts in line this
morning was as follows: Independent
Cornet Band, of Marshallton. Del. d;
Smyth Post, No. L; Wright's colored
band, of this city; Charles Sumner
Post, No. 4, composed of the colored G.
A. R. men; Brunswick Band, of Bran
dywine; Phil Sheridan Post, No. 23
and DUPONT Post, No. 2.
A novel feature Of the Sheridan Post
was that each member wore a small
rooster stuck in his hat. Jesse X. Bay
lis carried a staff supporting a stuffed
40 with four small chickens, under
heath of which was a card bearing the
inscription: blue Hens Chickens.
Canes of both light and dark bamboo
and also hickory with red, white and
blue ribbon. on which was lettered in
gold, &C. A. r., 1899, were carried. The
veterans looked spic and span in theil
bright uniforms, and everyone will dc
credit to the state Of his nativity
Throngs Of people greeted the veterans
all along the line.
Department Commander William II
Moystin deserves great credit for the
part which he took in furthering the
plans Of the organization, as he de-
voted his whole energy to the work.

TREATMENT FOR .ID1OCY.
.rhxroid Extract Has Just Been Pro.
nOunced an Almost Infnllible
Cure for Cretinism.

Cretinism is form of idiocy caused
by the lack of part of the thyroid gland.
It is form of goitre. Many children
have it. The moment the thyroid secre.
ton stops forming the development of
the child stops short. If, for instance,
the child had advanced to the age of
seven and then failed of it's thyroid, it
would go through life as seven-year.
old child as far as brain development is
concerned. There is an opposite condi.
ton brought about when too much
thyroid secretion is deposited. We
know it then as exopthalmic goitre. A
person with this malady is the opposite
of the idiot-that is, intensely active
and alert, supersensitive in all things,
the antithesis of dullness, as it were.
Exopthalmic goitre can be cured by
removing part of the thyroid gland
from the throat; cretinism can be
cured, or rather held in check, by adj
ministering thyroid extract to the
idiot. If child is taken young and
properly doctored with thyroid extract
it will go on developing just like any
normal child. But if the administering
of the extract should be stopped sud-
denly, the youngster would relapse into
its former idiotic state, or, at any rate.
stop off where it was.

HOW HAIR cuRLs NATURALLY.

of the hair imbedded in the skin SHOULD
be sufficiently strong to resist any ten
dency to bend; unless this be so the
leverlike action necessary to produce
it's erection is destroyed. When the
hair is fine and ribbonlike the shaft 10
not sufficiently stout to resist the strain
of the muscle and naturally assumes q
curve, the degree of curvature depend
ing ON the development of the muscle,
the resistance of the hair and the size
of the sebaceous gland. The curve thus
produced becomes permanent and af-
fects the follicle in which the hair is
developed, the softer cells at the root
of the hair becoming more horny as
they advance toward the surface, retain
the form of the follicle; the cells on the
concave side of the hair being more
compressed than those on the convex
side. In this way the hair retains the
form of the follicle after it has escaped
from it.

A GREAT HHrERpRIsR

A worthy American citizen, having made

Of them, knowing the ignorance of the old

you thoroughly. Why, do you know, sir,

They were all in it, and they invested their
friend with powers plenipotentiary. The
story has no dramatic point. save that it is a

CAMERA FOR INSECTS
How, t. Adjust the Photoxraphic Ap.
paratus and the Proper Method
Of ExposuFe.

On the top of tripod or camera
stand may be fixed double board,
hinged so that it will turn up at right
angles with its base as in the accom-
panying sketch, and supported by q
side rod or slotted bar. 1t will be seen
that if the camera is screwed to the up
right board, the lens will point down
ward to the ground. 1t is obvious that
if anything is placed on the floor, by
using the camera in this position the
object can be very readily seen on the
ground glass of the instrument. Books,
manuscripts and such like things that
are difficult to fix up can thus be very
easily copied, and with great saving
of time. The size does not matter. One
has only to lengthen or reduce the dis
lance between the object and the lens
to get the necessary reduction; but it
is not for this purpose that now de-
scribe an arrangement have success
fully used for some years in photo
graphing insects, such as butterflies,
beetles, or shells, leaves, single flowers,
etc. Much time can be saved, as one
has only to place the object on some
suitable support and photograph. Some
people may inquire about the shadow
as it often mars the beauty of the photo
graph, though sometimes it adds very
materially to its relief. To obviate this

IN An OLD GARDEN.

Como down to that old garden
OF every hower we knew.
When out OF gates of childhood
TIL airs OF morning blew,
And arching heaven was painted
In every drop OF dew.
And you may have the lily
With all her virgin SHOWS,
And you may have the beauty
That bushes on the rose,
But will have the heart's-ease.
The dearest flower that blows!
Who will shall have the balsans
And store Of hydromel, Al
The purple of the monk's-hood
With poison in his spell;
Who will shall have sweet-william
And the canterbury-bell.
I love the breath Of rosemary,
The perfume OF the stock,
The proud plumes Of the fleur-de-l:s
The silken hollyhock;
love the flaming poppy
And the sleepy four-o'clock.
But they say that when great angels
Fell plunging from Heavens frown,
A spirit looking after
Lost blossom from her crown
know it was the heart's-ease
Came softly floating down.
Oh, bright the l1oneysuckle,
And sweet his tipping crew,
The bird-wings Of the columbiRe,
The larkspur blue as blue
But will take the heart's-easc
And all tho rest take you!

glass with piece of white or colored
paper, as the subject may require, at
such q distance as to cast no visible
shadow. That is to say, the shadow is
lost before it reaches the paper. BY
this means one gets a negative of the
object only. Some subjects look better
on clear ground, then use q sheet of
white paper. For tinted ground. q
gray; and for black ground, a dull
chocolate paper will be found the best.
as it seems to have the least reflection
and absorbs the light better than black.
Such butterflies as the common and
marble whites, small blues, etc., look
better on a dark ground, whereas near
ly all the others show better on clear
ground. The same remarks will apply
to other insects. In making series.
of photographs Of butterflies, they
should all bear the same relative pro-
portion to one another, as in nature,
and not be the same size. To obtain
this, they should be taken with the
same extension of the camera, and the
same distance between the object and
the lens. By working on these lines
one can obtain set of photographs
that are perfectly accurate in size, with
relation to one another. have not
said anything about the method of ex-
posture. This is the crux. If ones sub
ject is not properly lighted and exposed
we do not get negative worth print
ing. would at once say that if one
has the opportunity, there is nothing
like daylight; but it is not everyone
who can spare the time to work in the
light of day. Further, many days dur
ing the winter months are not fit for
such work, SO it is best to use mag
nesium ribbon, as its Photographic
value is nearer to daylight than any
thing else. With seven inches of the
ribbon, and rapid, thickly coated
plate, one will find it easy to get good
negative, full of detail, and graduation
Of light and shade. The best developer
to use is pyro-soda. For the formulae,
see any of the Photographic text
books. need scarcely remark that
any printing paper may be used, pref
erably those of the gelatino-chloride
type, as they give brighter image

At q recent Conversations OF the
Royal society, says the London Graphic.
q curious exhibit was shown by Prof.
Arthur Thomson. namely, model to
illustrate how natural curliness of hair
is produced. According to the explains
ton three factors require consideration
in the production of curly hair: ~
The hair shaft; (2) the hair muscle,
and (3) the sebaceous gland. Straight
hair is always circular on section. and
is usually thicker than curly hair,
which is ribbonlike and fine. In order
that the muscle may act as an erector
of the hair it is requisite that the shaft
