but had never seen nor heard of any

had to creep on hands and knees over

FIGHTING IN THE CRIMEA.
The British soldiers Were Clnd in
Furs During the Terrible
Winter.

Remembering the bitter blasts which
so recently swept over the city Chi
cagoans will realize how valuable tC
British soldiers were the fur garments
provided for them during the terrible
winter weather of the Crimea durino
the war with Russia. The coats of the
officers were made of a fine brown fur
cut in the well known military shape OF
| the time. The coats and cloaks for the
men were not of so fine quality, Out
were, nevertheless, of a good substan.
tial make, and were, furthermore, sup
| piled with waterproof shoulder cover
ing. Both officers and men alike wore
very strong oyeralls of cowhide. and il
lis on record that one London firm alone
secured a contract TO supply $4,000 suits
of this material for the men and 100 OnC
more for officers. A noted London fur.
rier made no fewer than $4,000 pairs
of large fur gloves to complete a singl,
order.
Those regiments that did not weal
pearshlhS, as ana the guards, were sup
piled with a sealskin headdrcss, an ex
act copy of that worn by arctic ex
plorers. This cap was pronounced tc
be both warm and easy to wear and wa,
a boon to many poor fellows who other
wise must have suffered terribly from
frostbite.
Whatever may have been the mis-
takes of the Crimean- British war. Their,
was no stinginess on the part of the
government in providing the soldiers
with warm clothing, as is evidenced BY
the fact that one consignment of store,
included 100000 pairs of gloves, eco .O0C
pairs of lambs wool stockings. some
$4,000 flannel gowns for the hospital,
and 10000 greatcoats for wear over ht

How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington D. C.-"When our boy
was about 16 months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles, In a few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck and
it was decided to be mumps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve He
wanted to lance the sore, but l would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months when
the. bunch broke in two places and be-
came a running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered a blood medicine. 4 neighbor
told me of a case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
