Veg Q tables In Education.

City boys and girls who never have
seen growing cabbages, pumpkins,
corn, potatoes, spinach and other gar
den produce soon may have an oppor-
tunity to supply the deficiency in their
education. The School Teachers club
of Chicago asked the west park board
to set aside three or four acres in one
of the parks where vegetables may be
raised by the school children. Frank
L. 1remain is at the head of the move
ment. The teachers think this will be
n great advantage for young children,
who think that grasshoppers. make
grass and that butterflies make butter
There are many children. they say
who believe that potatoes grow on
bushes and who do not know whether
watermelons come from the water
works or grow on trees. Yet these
same children can find the common de-
rominator Of things and recite the
multiplication table up to seven times
seven.

NATURE AS ARMORER.
Ready Made Mall Coat Which Puzzles
the Lobster's Enemies.

There are few departments of hui
man life where man has been so en-
tirely anticipated and at the same time
surpassed by the lower animals as in
the invention of armor, says the
Strand. His cunningest devices of the
mailed fish order were none of them
original. If you examine a fine and
fully developed suit of plate armor in
the form which it assumed at its high
est zenith in the fifteenth century you
will find that the trunk and limbs
were completely inclosed in splendid
fitting jointed case of iron plates, all
exquisitely polished. The suit as a
whole was triumphant product Of
the armorer's art. Yet if you look at
a Holsters tail you will see at a
glance that all these clever devices of
mans imagining had been invented
and patented long before by nature,
and that the elaborate workmanship
of the Plantagenet craftsman who
cased knight and horse for the battle
field or the tournament in glistening
metal was but poor imitation of the
ineffable skill with which the unheed-
ed crustaceans of the time protected
every vulnerable portion OF their bod
les from the assaults and attacks of
their submarine enemies.

PLEVNA HERO,S WORK
DEATH OF THE FAMOUS TURK
ISH GENERAL
Recalls His Memorable Defense In the
Russo-Turkish War-He Inflicted Loss
of $4,000 Men on the Russians at
Plevna-His Last stand.
Especial Letter.)

The death of Osman Digma, the
foremost general of the Turkish army,
recalls the memorable defense of Plev-
ma during the Russo-Turkish war, in
which Osman immortalzed himself.
Even before the historic defense he
had made his share of history. His
forces were feared throughout the Bal
kans before the Cossacks of the czar
sought the entrance gates of Constan-
tinople 90 years ago When he was
Is years of age he had come from
Tokat, in Asia Minor, where he was
born, and graduated from the military
school of his nations capital. He was
a lieutenant in the Crimean war with
many opportunities for observing Eng
lish, French and Russian methods of
warfare. He was given the badges
of a brigadier general in 1878 after his
dreadful onslaught on the rebellious
Cretans and Servians. At Widdin he
commanded a division. In the Balkan
country he was called "the scourge,"
but his soldiers idolized him. and that
was all he cared for. His aim was
constantly to preserve the spirit of
integrity of the Turkish army. and he
resorted to appeals to fanaticism, to
love of plunder, to weakness for loot,
in order to gain his end.
Russia advanced upon Turkey in
July, 1877. The Danube was crossed
that month. Osman was at Widdin.
He passed to Tricopolis and thence to
Plevna. His army numbered 10000
men. He decided that Plevna was the
key to the Balkan entrance to Con-
stantinople and that he must hold that
key. The Russians then outnumbered
him two to one. But he threw up
trenches, settled his men in the little
village and planned surprises and sor-
ties. Twice he repulsed the Russian
advance. Their dead were SO thick

upon the hill slopes that one could
neither go up nor down without using
bodies for steps. Osman. back of his
rock and earth defenses, laughed. He
knew that in the end he must be
whipped-he would make the victory
cost the czar more than men dreamed
1t would when the war commenced.
Through August Osman kept raising
his trenches at Plevna. For five days
the Russian forces with cannon and
men assaulted his position and failed.
Skobeloff assaulted him in September,
lost $4,000 men and failed. Constanti-
nople sent word to Osman that he
could surrender or retreat. The latter
he never intended to do. AS for the
former, he waited. The Russian army
was increased to 1872, 900. Todleben sur
rounded Plevna and sat down to starve
out the Turk. His wait was long and
costly. Week after week Osman made
sorties that cost the Russ far more
than the Turks. For l44 days. until his
men were starved into weakness, he
held out against 1000 guns. Even at
tamely to surrender. His giving up
should be as glorious as his resist
ance.
October 0. 1877, he made his last sor-
ties. His men and the Russians met at
the river Vid For several hours the
Turks. food hungry as they were,
triumphed. They captured battery,
pfh la n VI of
diers. A Siberian regiment was bay
onetted. Their valor was unsurpassed.
The Russian line gave way at all
points. But Todleben knew this could
not last. His men suddenly ceased
fighting. with their lines opened. and
then the Russian cannon loaded with
shrapnel began their work. Osman
Pasha went down wounded but refus-
ing to surrender. Not until afternoon
did he give the final word and the car
mage ceased. He WAS carried to a hos
pital. He smiled when his captors told
him their Losses during the siege were
$4,000. The Grand Duke Nicholas
grasped his hand and said: Il honor
you for your noble defense OF Plevna."
Staggering from physical pain, osman
rose and silently saluted. The victors
allowed him to retain his sword
When the war was ended Osman was
placed in command OF the Imperial
Guard of Constantinople. He was min
lister OF war for number of years.
One OF his late positions was marshal
of the palace. and II was his duty to
taste the food prepared for the sultan.
During the war with Greece he was Or
dered to the front to take charge of
the Turkish armies, but the war was
ended before he could take command.
