 story of how he got aboard the trans port and was the last man of the force | to leave the land This, Dr. Stearns said, was mistake, as he witnessed | GeneralGrant's horse slide down the bank with him on it's back and walk up | the gang plank aboard the transport,
 and then followed him aboard Soon af- lter General Grant went on the upper deck and laid down on the captain g

 Referring to surgery in the rebel army, Dr. Stearns told a story about a Colonel Dougherty of an Ohio regiment who was left wounded on the field after the battle of Belmont He was cap-
 tured by the rebels and taken across the
 Mississippi to Columbus, where his foot
 was amputated against his opposition by a so-called surgeon, who cut the foot
 from the leg without leaving any flaps for the wound. After doing it, the sur geon thought he had made mistake and called in another surgeon, who re- amputated the leg, this time leaving the flaps. Both operations were performed without administering ether chloroform or any other anaesthetic.
 Commander Cummings presided at the meeting of the post and there was large attendance of members and their lady friends A vote of thanks was passed to pr. Stearns for his courtesy.

BAGASSE PULP.
A Likely Substitute for Wood Pulp in
 Papernaking

A Likely Substitute for Wood Pulp in Papermaking.
 | It is not improbable that in a few years the manufacture of paper from bagasse, the woody fibrous residuum of crushed sugar cane, will become an important industry in Louisiana. The formation of the paper and wood pulp trust will doubtless hasten this indus try There is no question of the utility of this manufacture Scientific men
 have urged it for some years, and in
 the last few years 1t has been demon-
 strated practically. Mr. Cunningham,
 the prominent sugar planter of south-
 eastern Texas, is now and has for two
 years been manufacturing paper both
 news and wrapping, from the diffusion
 chips of his sugar house There are
 eleven diffusion batteries in Louisiana and Texas, and these combined will fur
 nish a considerable quantity of the raw
 material for paper mills. As matters now stand this diffusion bagasse it alone available for paper mills, the crushing mill bagasse being used as fuel the planters believing that to be the most profitable use to which 1t can be put. But with the coming of paper mis the whole situation win change and the paper trust may yet find a serious ob- stacle in Louisiana to its sending up the price of paper skSward
 One bagasse paper mill is already in operation and three more are in contem- plation. Lewis s. Clark, one of the lar gest planters in the state, has been in- vestigating the subject with view of utilizing his now troublesome bagasse
 The difficulty and cost of disposng of bagasse has been the stumbling block in the way of the diffusion process in this state, for the diffusion bagasse can not be used for fuel. Once make the bagasse available and the diffusion pro- cess, confessedly the more scientific and profitable, in that it extracts more juice from the cane will begin to come into general use. But it can be demonstrat- ed that even In the crushing mills the bagasse can be used more prohtably as paper plup than as fuel These figures are from no less an authority than Pro- lessor Stubbs, than whom no one Is bet ter informed concerning the sugar in- dustry, to the advancement of which he has devoted some of the best efforts of his life. -.
 Assuming the value of bagasse as fuel to be one-fourth or 6ne-fifth the value of coal, these results are apparent: There are annually cultivated in the sugar belt 100000 acres of cane which produce twenty tons of the stalk to the acre, These 6,000,000 tons of cane pro- duce 25 per cent, or 1,500,000 tons, of bagasse. This bagasse has caloric en- ergy one-fifth that of coal, making the crop equal to 100000 tons of coal, the cost of which, on an average, is $9O0,O This bagasse is worth as fuel only about 60 cents a ton, therefore.s

There was also an appeal from the assessment on the land on which the building is To- cated, but this assessment was not re- duced The assessment on the Poli building is reduced from $104 ,S74 to $91,- 342. These two reductions are about 10 per cent and were made in accordance with an agreement reached by attorneys for appellants and the corporation counsel representing the city.

| PROFESSIONAL WOMAN.
Experiments Made With Food.

A certain professional woman in New York connected with one of the large institutions there, has had curious experience with an experiment in using a certain kind of food. It seems that in October last she had serious ill., ness and was at the point of death, the brain and body in the last stages of ex- haustion. Her remarkable experience with the food was brought to the atten- of the makers by some of her friends, and in reply to a letter she wrote as follows
 q have no objection to the public knowing of the wonderful transforma- tion my system has undergone by the use of GrapeNuts since November, 1899 I began using the food when con- valescing and when in an exceedingly low condition. and used small quan- tity and became so fascinated with the flavor. that I gradually discontinued nearly all other food, including tea and coffee.
 up to now I have consumed about 150 packages and have gained 20 pounds in flesh. Am a marvel to all my friends who are aware of my former state of health, There are about fifty families who have adopted the use of Grape Nuts because of my experience. You can give my name and home address, but do not mention my professional connection" Mrs. D. N, Wood, S32 Amsterdam avenue, New York City.
 There is a reason. The makers of CrapeNuts select certain parts of the grains of the field that contain delicate particles of phosphate of potash and al- bumen. These elements, when com bined in the human body, go directly to rebuild the grey matter in the brain and nerve centers of the body.
 This is a demonstrated fact and can be proven by anyone who cares to make the test When one nourishes and builds up the brain and nerve centers, that is practically the keynote to the whole health proposition, for when the nervous system is in perfect poise all parts of the body respond,
 GrapeNuts are for sale at all the large grocery stores in the country and can be found in use in practically all of the best families in America.

"REMINISCENCES OF WAR.
pr. Stearns Tells Some of His Experi
 enceS as a Surgeon.


 ences as Surgeon.
 pr. Henry P. Stearns, of Hartford told Wednesday evening before the members of Robert o. Tyler Post, ol that city, an interesting story of his ex- periences while a surgeon In the Union army in the war of the rebellion. The story was largely one of personal expe- rience and was related in an attractive manner.
 | Dr. Stearns was commissioned sur geon of the First regiment Connecticut volunteers April IS, 1S61 by Governor Buckingham, four days after President Lincoln issued his call for seventy-five thousand for three months. Colonel | Dan Tyler commanded the regiment and the doctor gave Colonel Tyler credit for | having his regiment completely armed and equipped before going to Washing | ton. Soon after the regiment reached Washington and was encamped, it was found necessary to establish hospital and a acquisition for medical supplies was made which was not approved by the medical director. This requisition was approved on the following day af- ter Colonel Tyler had made trip to the city. Three weeks later the regiment was ordered at night into Virginia and crossed the Long Bridge, spending a dismal night In the darkness after get. ting into rebel territory
 Then Colonel Tyler became a briga- dier and soon after came the battle of Bull Run. The confusion and disorder of the retreat to Washington was de- scribed and Dr. Stearns said that he did not see his regiment until the next day, when he found the regiment was en- camped at Falls Church on its old ground. Soon after Dr. Stearns report ed before board of examining surgeons for examination as a surgeon of the United States volunteers but was sent away because of having no order for ex- animation from the secretary of war He was able to obtain the order through the influence of a Washington doctor and Secretary Stanton, and was exam ined after wait of two weeks
 He was ordered to report to Major General Fremont in command of the western department of the army, with commission signed by Lincoln He re- ported at Cairo, H., malaria infected spot, and afterwards was sent to Gene ral Grant in person and had an inter- view of an hour. Grant spoke of the sickness prevalent among the men and told Dr. Stearns to obtain all necessary supplies for their comfort. During the next three months while with Grant, every request made by Dr. Stearns for the benefit of the troops was graciously granted. The battle of Belmont in Mo- .Ix of map. Grants horse was shot un- der him. The Union loss was 435, in cluding 125 prisoners. The Union troops took 175 prisoners and the total loss of the rebels was SAP.

The bagasse contains 10 per cent. of cellulose, which would become paper pulp, and 6000,00O tons contains 6000OO tons of cellulose. Even admitting that only 70 per cent. of the cellulose could be converted into paper pulp, there would be 420 900 tons of the pulp. Thus the price of the pulp would only have to be $3 ton to exceed the value of the bagasse as fuel. As a matter of fact, the pulp is worth about $20 ton.
 These figures giving the caloric and pulp value of bagasse are by no means estimated. Professor Stubbs has given the matter the most careful study, and his standing as a chemist leaves no doubt of the value of his work.
 The present cultivation of sugar cane annually depletes the soil of it's nitrogen which cannot be restored to it, it not being possible to return the nitrogenous qualities of the bagasse to the level of the cane soil, as the utilized parts of the cane would interfere seriously with the cultivation of the succeeding crop But once reduce what is now refuse to paper pulp, and the nitrogenous resid- uum could be restored to the sail to it's great benefit. Sugar itself does not come from the soil, but from the air, and if all but the sugar and cellulose were returned to the soil the soil would lose nothing, practically.
 Another experiment now going on that may prove an obstacle to the paper trust is being made by Edward Atkin- son, the well known economist, of New England Mr. Atkinson recently sent to Professor Stubbs for a quantity of rice straw to be experimented with in New England mill, and the experiment is now progressing. The rice straw crop of Louisiana is enormous, and if the straw proves as good for paper manu- fracture as bagasse Louisiana will add tremendously to the paper pulp stock of the world.
 It was formerly necessary to establish paper mills near streams of clear water but with the improvements in filters as good water can be obtained from the Mississippi and other streams in Loui- sana as can be had anywhere New Orleans Times Democrat.
