soldier the other day. when be was
asked If he ever knew Of an officer be-

Of his own men. Il never knew Of but
one case. That Is. Of my own personal
knowledge he answered land that
was the captain Of one Of the com
panies served in during the Civil
War. This captain, whom we win call
smith. for that wasn't his real name,
was about as lacking in heart as any
man ever saw, or ever heard Of Il

years Of the war. when we were In
winter quarters down South There
was a young fellow in the company
who had but lately returned from 2
furlough Of fifteen days, granted him
to visit home. where his yonng wife
lived with the old folks A few days
after his return he received word that
his wife was very ILL., and that her re-
eovery was impossible He went at
once to HIS captain. asked for a few
days leave, explaining that he wished
10 visit his dying wife. TO the aston
ishment Of everyone the captain not
only refused his request, but did 50 ID

learned Of what had happened. went to
the colonel. one Of the best men that
ever lived. and laid the facts before
him. with the result that the young fei.
low at once received the desired leave.
Before he could get away, however
his captain went to the colonel. and Ii
some way or other delayed matters 50
that it was three or four days latei
before the poor fellow started fol
home. When he got there he found
that his wife had died just twenty-foul
hours before his arrival At the end
Of his leave he again returned to hi
company. told his story. and to one O.

what he meant. but not a word did W

Neutrality-suspicious. For Ea.4ar

Plants such as the white lilac,
genista, spir9a, deutzia, Harris lily,
etc, are commonly forced for Easter
decorations, and they all please every
one, but more frequent use Of plants
now but little used for such purposes
would generally produce even greater
admiration. It is not new to talk of
forcing the rhodOdendron, but IN
doubtedly it is not common to see it.
Yet nice plant with six or more flow
er heads makes a beautiful specimen
and, like the azalea, can be used again,
planted out or kept for forcing another
year. To those in the northern parts
of this country where such plants do
not do well planted outside the privi-
lege to see them blooming indoors is
great. About the time Of blooming they
like an abundance of water if the pot
be well drained. Very little heat is re-
quired to bring them into bloom,
though more than many others, about
the temperature of a carnation house,
says Meehan.

SMALL GREENHOUSE.

the height Of feet 6 inches and be
boarded on each side to the height Of
three feet with matched boards. and
the space between, which may be six
or eight inches, should be filled in with
sawdust, quite dry, or tan bark in the
same condition. Above the boarding
there may be Is inches of glass.
The illustration shows two swinging
sashes at the side. But it is not neces-
sary that these should be provided, es-
peclally in a cold climate, but instead
OF one ventilatOr at the peak Of the roof
1t may be better to have two, one near
each end and on opposite sides Of the
roof No rafters will be needed In a
small house like this. The sash bars
to the plate. The plate should be bev-
eled on the inside to allow the water
to run off
This house may be fitted up with
bench on each side three feet wide
and walk in the center two feet wide.
There should be a wooden extension at
the north end of at least eight feet,
giving workroom eight feet square,
with door at the end entering it from
the outside.
The heating OF house like this will
depend on the climate At the south
coal oil stove would serve the pur-
pose. The most desirable way for
cold climate is first to provide a walled
up pit or cellar beneath the workroom,
where may stand a small heater, with
pipes running from it all around the
inside Of the greenhouse, below the
bench, near the walls, to convey hot
water. The cellar will also afford
space for the storage of small amount
of coal. Three lengths of two inch
pipe all around the house would prob
ably give all the heat that would be
required
