where the captain and most Of the
ships crew have their homes and
friends. They were picked up by the
steamer at Sitta, having reached the
old Alaskan capital after four terrible
days in the small open boats of the Co
lusa. They suffered a great deal, sew
eral of them being badly frozen. All
were nearly dead from the awful priva-
tion endured during those terrible four
days, during which they were tossed
from wave to wave in the frozen north
ern waters.

saxes Mistake Explained.

Here is a story Of John G. SAKE, the
poet-wit. During the war Sake at
tended fiag-raising at Greenbush. a
little place across the river from Al
bany, and made speech. In which he
commended the patriotism OF the
young men Of Greenbush, through
whose exertions the flag had been pro-
cured. The chairman of the meeting
whispered to him that the young la
dies of Greenbush had also been in
strumental in raising funds for the
purchase OF the flag. Thereupon SAKE,
addressing the young ladies of Green
bush, made them a graceful and gall
liant apology for not including them
in his praise. II don't know how I
came to make such mistake" he
explained, save as / may have been
laboring under the impression that

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from slate just as 1t is dug from the
earth. Pencils so made were objected
to on account OF the grit which they
contained. To overcome this difficulty
scientific man devised an ingeniuos
process by which the slate Is ground
to q very fine powder, all grit and for
eign substances removed. and the pow
der bolted through silk much in the
same manner as -four is bolted. The
powder is then made into dough and
this dough is subjected to heavy hy-
drauIic pressure, which presses the
pencils out In the required shape and
diameter, but In lengths of about
three feet While yet soft the pencils
are cut into the desired lengths and
set out to dry in the open air. After
they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilns,
where they receive the proper temper.

ering from wounds received in battle

states that the letter was taken from

who had been killed by the Americans.
Accompanying the letter was a small
American flag, stained with blood. 1t
Is presumed that the soldier was eth

Stealing q steam whistle.

A gentleman who has a steam mill
in Waldo, Mass, purchased a large
steam whistle, which he carried home
and placed on his mill. A number OF
boys conceived the idea of stealing
this whistle-"just for lark" they
said. The owner, hearing of their
plan, remained in his mill all night.
Sixty pounds Of steam was kept up.
About midnight. the boys put in an
appearance and climbed upon the roof
Of the building. Just as one applied
a wrench to the whistle, Mr.. Sanborn

such a screech as was never before
heard in Waldo. People jumped from
their beds in a fright and wondered
what was up. The boys tumbled of
the roof OF that mill as though shot,
and departed as rapidly as their legs
could carry them. while Mr.. Sanborn
fired a gun after them to hasten their
retreat. The whistle Is still on the

soldiers Drink Impure Water.

One great difficulty with which our
troops and marines In China Is con-
fronted is the drinking-water ques-
ton. The surface water, and there Is
no other kind in China, is highly dan
gerous, and the natives never make
use OF water from any source with
out first boiling it, says the Army and
Navy Journal. In this way the health
of troops in the field may be maintain
ed In no other way. One Of the i'm
mediate results OF the present difficult
ties in China will be the enlargement
of Chefoo as a port Of entry. Lying as
it does but a short distance from the
mouth OF the Pei-Ho river. Cheefoo
will, for long time to come, possess
an importance second only to Shang-
hal Fortunately fer our vessels abroad
the sanitary conditions thus far have
been very good and no symptoms Of
an outbreak of any of the diseases pc
culiar to China, Japan and the Philip
pines have yet made their appearance.

lation, because even II an epidemic
were to break out the exigencies Of the
service would scarcely permit de-
tachment of any ship for this reason

In any way, Mother" Bickerdyke
would send In report which often re-
suited in the dismissal of the offender
1t was the same way with army con-
tractors. II the supplies furnished
were not In good order or were not
promptly delivered 1t was certain that
Mother" Bickerdyke would never rest
until she had seen the delinquent pun
ished.
In addition to everything else she was
great organizer. After the battle Of
Perryyille the supplies of the surgeons
were exhausted and there seemed to be
no way to supply the demand. But
Mother Bickerdyke was equal to the
emergency. She organized a company
OF colored women who had escaped
from their masters and set them to
work picking up blankets and scraps
OF clothing from the battlefield Then
she had all the material so gathered
carefully washed and dried, and finally
supplied not only plenty Of dressing,
but actually fitted out large body Of
men with practically new or at least
clean outfits of clothing.
1t Is said that nobody in the army
had as much influence with either Gen.
Grant or Gen. Sherman as Mother"
Bickerdyke. They had come to know
of her courage and devotion to the
men and had found by investigation
that her word could be depended up
on. Consequently she was feared and
hated by the incompetents and rascals
in all branches of the army. ,.

Indians Set Pace for Modern Warfare.
Anybody who knows anything at all
about modern fighting knows that the
North American Indian is the man
who sets the pace. First the Amerl-
can frontiersmen studied his ways and
adopted his tactics and the soldiers
took it up Baden-Powell, so the
plucky little South African general
confesses, first read about American
scouts and then took lessons from
their teachers, the Indians themselves.
But now there Is a slip in the chain,
and France is studying the Indian
without going to the trouble OF first
ascertaining what the best scout in
the world, the American soldier, thinks
about 1t. France is trying the "fexi-
con march," "Never get the leg
straight" are the French instructions.
Keep the back straight, but bent for
ward. Do not throw the shoulders
either back or up" That is about the
way an Indian walks. so Capt. Uline,
of the Twentieth infantry, confesses,
but, he goes on, he never heard OF the
trick being tried by military. Il can
not discuss the merits of the hexi-
CON-" the captain said, because ! am
not familiar with 1t. From the de-
