coree for Soldiers.

On Memorial day, for the first time.
President Mckinley revisited the bat
tlefield of Antietam, where thirty
eight years before, a commissary SER
geant of the Twenty-third Ohio, he
served hot coffee to his comrades along
the firing line when the fighting was
in progress. Secretary Root referred
briefly to this Incident in his speech
But he did not tell the whole story
He could not have told it all If he de-
pended upon the president for reeolI9c-
ton. Sergt. Mckinley has never had
much to say about it. There were de-
tails which added to the conspicuous
ness of the act, and they are not OBJ
tainable from the chief actor. In that
part of the field where Burnside first
pushed back the confederate right AMI
then swung around to meet Hill is q
tablet. 1t marks the location of the
Kanawha brigade, of which the Twen-
ty-third Ohio was a part that day.
From the early morning fasco at the
stone bridge to the advance upon the
confederate right, the brigade had
marched and fought Hungry and
faint, the troops were still in line con-
fronting Hills fresh arrivals, when
suddenly great shout went up. There.
under fire, with a team of mules and
wagon, was boy commissary sergeant
dealing out hot coffee. Two miles in
the rear he had pressed into service
some stragglers and had made, cans of
hot coffee and had cooked meat. He
had loaded two wagons and started FOR
the front to find and feed his regiment.
Again and again he was ordered to
the rear. One team was disabled The
youthful sergeant kept en-, unheeding
the bullets, intent only upon carrying
that coffee and meat and bareback
where it would do the most good. The
shout told of his arrival where his reg
iment was still fighting. The serving
of hot coffee to soldiers in the midst
of battle is not recognized by tactics.
1t was done at Antietam. When the
colonel of the regiment got back to
Ohio and told the war governor of the
accident, the comment was: GIVE
that young man a commission" Thus

Probably Between 400 aud 500 OF Them
In This Country.
Now that women have long been rec
ognized as successful practitioners in
the medical world. it is not surprising
to find that many of them are turning
their attention to the closely allied
profession OF dentistry The New York
Evening Post states that the New York
Dental School has for eight years been
admitting women students on an
equality with men, and contains at
present five women in its freshman
class. The Pennsylvania College OF
Dental Surgery, which opened Its doors
much earlier. can show a longer list
of women graduates. and at Michigan
University and schools in Washington
and other cities women are entering
as students OF this profession wher-
ever they can gainsadmission. There
are probably already between 400 and
500 women dentists In the country.
Many a woman has first been attracted
TO the profession from her position as
helper in dentists Office when a girl;
others are led into 1t through the study
of medicine. The first woman who en-
tered this profession was Prusslan.
Frau DR.. schfeldt-Tiburtius, who
began to practice in 1869. No other
is known until 1874. when the first
woman was graduated from the Penn
sylvania College OF Dental Surgery.
Two more. German and an An.sri-
can. were graduated In New Yors in
1880. and after that the number in
creased very rapidly. AS the begin
ming was first made in Germany. the
profession has since met with favor
among German women. but in that
country their course is generally
through the study of medicine and
then general practice In a dentists
office. All through France and Eng
land there is probably not one woman

tions taken by the worlds navies win

Of balloons, with duly trained STATS to
work them, carried by war vessels, our
own great battleships having already
adopted the precaution for years now.
The balloons carried by these battle
shils are Of exactly the same material

though the wake of a submarine boat
sunk deeply in the water can only be
traced with difficulty from such an ele-
walton as that afforded by ship. both
such wake and the boat itself can be
seen with absolute and undertaking
ciearness from a captive balloon
This is the result of scientific and
optical law, and when ship balloons
were first put to the practical test in
regard to this matter. the results at
tained were of the most surprising
kind. Even at the mouth of the
Thames. where the water is distinctly
cloudy, objects of much smaller kind
than submarine boat. and painted
of neutral color. could be seen from a
balloon with the utmost clearness at a
depth of five fathoms. or thirty feet,
though the surface was rough. No
submarine boat could in the daytime
get within striking distance Of a
threatened ship that had a balloon

Saddles. in some form, are of the
greatest antiquity. Under Tlglath-
Pileser III. the Assyrian cavalry were
provided with them Csee Prof. Sayce's
'Babylonians and Assyrians: Life and
Customs'), and the early Romans used
a covering of cloth, hide, or skin,
which was no doubt very similar.
These early examples would probably
represent light saddles. The heavy
war saddle seems to be much later, one
of the earliest instances of it's use be-
ing by the Visigoths in A. d. $40. The
odosius the Great, fifty years later. eff
fected great improvements. Brides
were also in use in very distant ages.
Ancient Thessalian coins often repre-
sent horse with a long rein touch
ing the ground. The young Romans
were trained to ride and mount unas-
sisted. but sthe use of the bride was
known from the first. According to
Livy, Aulus Cornelius, in a battle with
the Fidenae, ordered the Roman cav

ably to give them more weight. At

Information has been received from
Washington to the effect that Chieka-

rendezvous of the returning volunteer
soldiers from Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Hawaiian islands and the Philippines.
1t has been selected as the main volun-

so critical that the presence of the
volunteers will be demanded on Chi
nese soil, a mighty army will be To-
Gated just outside of Chattanooga. The
Chiekamauga National Park has been
selected for camping grounds for the
volunteers for various reasons. First,
it is believed that in the fall of the
year it will prove particularly healthy,
and in the event the volunteers are
continued beyond the present limit,
the camp will be particularly adapted
for quarters for the winter A second
reason assigned is that the govern
ment owns the land, and viii be at no
expense for rent. If the present plans
are carried out, and the camp proves
