Use of Hot Water Bags.

A hint in the use of hot water
bags is gained from trained nurse.
Very little water is used, not more
than coffee cupful in three-pint
bag, but it is very hot. Before the
stopper is screwed in the air is pressed
out of the bag by quick smoothing
of the hand toward the opening; in
this way the weight is considerably
lessened. This particular nurse in at
tending pneumonia patient kept in
use during the severity of the attack
six of the bags, three of them upon
the patient at one time. During Pc
Rods of the critical two or three days
the bags were changed every Is min
utes, but so light were they that their
weight did not in the least incon-
venience the sufferer.

SAVED HER CALICO.
Heurtedness During the
Civil War.

During the civil war there was a
town in Tennessee that became very
familiar with both the union and the
confederate armies. Sometimes the
town was under control of one and
sometimes of the other, says Outlook.
The town had an equal number of
union and confederate sympathizers,
who named the principal streets jeff
Davis and Lincoln streets, the people
living on these streets taking this
way of expressing their attachments.
Each army, as it passed through
the town, took from its enemies all it
could get. Sometimes the soldiers
made mistakes, and took from their
friends. One day a detachment of
confederate cavalry followed a de-
tachment of union soldiers through
the town. They entered store the
proprietor of which was southerner,
who had hidden from the union

day a stiff north breeze made the
flight of the targets very irregular.
The score which Miss Edith has
made in the field and marsh is also a
most excellent one and shows she now
possesses more skill than the average
sportsman. 1t is not an uncommon
occurrence for her to come in from
the marshes with plenty of game, es-
pecially rabbits. Recently she re-
ceived an English setter dog from the
well-known kennels of w. r. Lyons,
of Piqua, o., and to say that she now
thoroughly enjoys the sport is mild
expression. 1t is predicted by To-
cal sportsmen that, with no fatality,
few months hence, Miss Edith will
rank among the best trap shooters of
her sex in America.

forces. No one was in the store but
a little girl of 12, who had frequently
played southern airs when southern
soldiers were in town, to cheer them.
On one of the shelves of the store
were several yards a calico, which
had been promised this little girl for
"a dress. This was quite an expensive
dress, then, for calico was sold at one
dollar yard, and was not easy to get
even at that price. When the soldier
took this calico and threw it across
his horse and rode away, the little
girl cried so hard that young Off
Ger heard her. He hurried into the
store, but the little girl could not tell
why she cried. A neighbor, n young
girl of 20, hurried across the street,
and told the officer that a soldier had
taken the calico intended for the lit
tie girls dress. The officer called the
men to "Halt!" He demanded that
the man who had taken the calico
should Immediately bring it to him.
A burly soldier got off his horse and,
looking ashamed, handed the booty
to his officer, who, with n bow, gave
it to the little girl. She could hardly
believe her good fortune when she
held the calico in her arms. This
young officer became the celebrated
Gen. Joe" Wheeler.

MAKES GOOD SCORES.
Indiana Girl OF sixteen Has shooting
Record Which Have Already
Won Fame for Her.

Miss Edith, daughter Of w. d. Rick
ell, of Auburn, Ind, is developing rare
skill with the gun, and promises
soon to equal the average sportsmen
of the world. Miss Rickel's expert
ence at the trap only dat4s from jan
uary /, this year, and her rapid adj
vancement has created sensation
among the lovers of that sport, and
| her scores have been prominently
mentioned by the trade papers.
Miss Edith's mother died last sum-
mer, and since she has taken the ar
duous responsibility of keeping house
attending school, she incidentally took
up the gun. She is but 16 years of age,
weighs 135 pounds, and stands five
feet high. She is n splendid example
of the best type of Hoosier beauty.
Her large, dark eyes, black curly hair
and charming good nature make her
noticeable figure wherever she
goes.
Her love for the field sport came to
her like vision, and, after express
ing a fond desire to take up the gun,
she was the recipient from her fa-
ther of an exceptionally good Win
chester, weighing "a pounds. The
services of Mr.. Romeo Tarney, of Au-
burn, were also secured, and he, be-
ing n marksman of recognized abil-
ity, soon instructed her in the art. Her
first experience at the trap was on
January 8, 1900. when she shot at 80
targets, ten yards rise, known trap
and angles, scoring 90 out of pos
sible so.
On January 16, her second attempt
at the trap, she shot 75 birds in

st. Louis has found much difficulty
in providing room for all its school

the population was scattered the plan
seemed scarcely applicable. After

are constructed in eight sections, the
sides in six sections, the ends in four
sections and the roof in 16 sections
Each section is strongly put together
on frames, and these are bolted in such
n manner as to make it perfectly tight
and secure room. The joints between
the sections are covered both inside and
out by movable pieces, which are held
in place by screws. The heating and
ventilating are furnished by an indi'
rect furnace with double casing. The
fresh air is taken directly from the out
side, and the supply cannot in any man
ner be cut off or reduced beyond n prop

end of the room from the furnace. The
smokepipe from the furnace is carried
through the upper part of the vent

and also preventing any possibility o.
fire.

st. Louis is congratulating itself just
now upon having successfully solved a
difficult problem and upon the carrying
out of unique and interesting idea.
In fact, she has wrought out new ver-
sion of the old story of Mohammed and
the mountain and new application.
Like the mountain, it has been found
necessary that when scholars will not
come to the school, the school must of
necessity go to the scholars. This, on
the face of it, might seem matter of
extreme difficulty. AS it is, however,
the problem has been solved, and the
solution has been found not to be hard
to arrive at. 1t might be little mis-.
leading to say that the scholars are not
always desirous of going to school.
But when the school is too far distant

CoNcEALING MOVEMENTS.
How an Army Changed It's Dnsc Under
Cover During the Civil
wnr.

"Some of the boys" said the SER
geant, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
wonder how it is possible for the Beers
in the Orange Free State to conceal
their movements from the British.
This skillful covering of an army's
movements from the enemy seems TO
be regarded by the rising generation
as something new in military warfare,
but 1t isn't. We had several striking
examples of this maneuver in orr civil
war, notably in 1862. After Buell's
army had marched from Louisville
across Kentucky and Tennessee, had
fought in the battle at Shiloh and at
Corinth, it drifted eastward in June
and July through Mississippi and Ala
bama toward Chattanooga.
"About the middle of August our di-
vision settled down into n camp at Nc
Minnville, as quiet as an ordinary coun-
try village. The boys believed that
Bragg was between them and Chat
tanooga, but they were not excited
about it. On the evening of the 23d of
August orders were issued to strike
tents, pack all the baggage in wagons

for two days. On the Goth we returned
to McAiinnville and went into our old
camp. On the Goth it was reported
that McMinnville would be fortified and
that our division would remain there
permanently. That night we were hur-
ried into line and marched rapidly to-
ward Murfreesboro, and it leaked out
that Gen. Bragg had crossed the noun
tains to our left and had put his whole
army in motion toward Nashville or
toward Kentucky.
"The enemy's movements had been
so completely covered that up to the
last minute Gems. Buell. and Thomas
had been in doubt as to Bragg's OBJ
jective point. They both believed that
they could force battle at Altamont
or McMinnville, but after the troops
had been concentrated there Bragg
turned toward Kentucky and Buell.
started northward. So it happened
that two great hostile armies moved
on almost parallel roads for nearly 300
miles toward the same city, Louisville.
The men in the ranks were not in
formed as to the object of the forced
march or as to what was going on
about them. They simply knew that
the splendid army that had swept
southwark in triumph across Kentucky
and Tennessee to Mississippi in April
was now, five months later, hurrying
back. They were full of fight, and they
wanted to fight, and they came to be.

them fight.
"One day about the middle of Sep

concentrated. The men had been
marching all night, and water had been
scarce, and they were tired. hungry,
thirsty and irritable. AS they came
now into the open there was before

from the rock earth like a crystal flood.

hint let her stop dancing at once under
some preteXt so evident that he may
realize her displeasure or disapproval.
A chaperon should not be lacking in
personal dignity; nor should she dance
while her charge is unprovided with a
partner.
A girl should be attentive to her
mother or her chaperon, presenting
her friends to her and occasionally
stopping to say few words.
Both young men and maidens should
be careful to remember that their
dancing engagements must be kept.
A girl must not refuse to dance with
one man under some pretext, and then
dance with another; neither should
she dance with the same man more
than two or three times.
