Identifying Dead sold,er..

About the most grewsome and I'M
welcome duty soldier can be called
upon to perform is that of identifying
the killed and wounded after an ac|
ton. 1t is difficult task, too, in
many cases; as, for instance, when
the bodies of the dead have been
stripped of their uniforms by the enc
my, for then all marks are missing
save those of physical features, and
these are most unreliable guides, for
the features are usually more OF less
distorted.
There is little wonder, then, that
mistakes occasionally occur, and
homes are plunged into mourning for
a son who is alive and we'll, or that
men long dead and buried are regard
ed as living. Even in the case of Of
ficers errors now and then creep in.
There, too, are frequent cases of err
rors in transmission of names.
Rolls compiled in a hurry by weary
and excited men are dispatched by
over-worked operators in remote
field telegraph Office who not infre-
quently drop dot" here and insert a
dash" there, rendering the message
unintelligible. Under these circum-
stances the ingenuity of the war Office
clerks is called into play. "Kylor" is
discovered to mean Taylor, the Morse
signs for "Ta" being Identical with
those for tx" Similarly "Cocor" is
found to mean Conner. Sometimes
initials and surnames are not separat-
ed, and the name reported as "Skelly"
is verified as S. Kelly
During the civil war many mistakes
were made, and even at this late peri
cd occasionally errors made at that
time come to light. Were the United
States to be drawn into some great
war she would be compelled to modify
her means of identifying the soldiers
that would fall upon the field. AS she
has been at comparative peace for so
long a time, little or no attention has
been paid to this problem.

IRoNrNG A sHIKr WAIST.

Not infreQuently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and q
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back. then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife. and with the edge Of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist Is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before 1t is folded
and put away. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Old Soldiers Protest.

Members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic of Indiana have been
wrought up over the prospect of Con-
gress granting pensions to Mrs. Nc
Kinley and Mrs. Harrison, as the
widows of Presidents, and a regular
against the proposed measure. The
method which has been adopted par
takes of the nature of an endless
chain, consisting OF resolutions which
one Grand Army post adopts and then
transmits to other posts, asking fol-
similar action. The resolution de-
clareS that:
1--WE have been Inundated for years
by special legislation giving greater
pensions to officers and their widows
than to the private soldier, and it is
wrong and against the theory Of our
government to favor distinctive
class; that there are now bills pend
ing in Congress to pension Mrs. Nc
Kinley and Mrs. Harrison and an out
rageous bill to give ex-Presidents a
pension of $4,000; therefore, be it
Resolved, That this post will for
ever condemn those who vote for and
encourage such legislation and hold
them responsible for thus aping at the
traditions of effete monarchies and
thereby insulting the intelligence and
heroism of the soldier in the line who
fought the battles and received mea-
ger pay"

Danger of China's Awakening.

Since the beginning of the nine
teenth century the Russian govern
ment has been exceedingly cautious in
its relations with China, realizing
what danger would arise if the Chi
nese should adopt the western mill
tary system. That most conservative
paper, Grashdanin, published the opin-
ion of a Russian general who has re-
turned from the latest China campaign
which strikingly confirms the old
traditions. IF we would avoid the
greatest disaster in the far east" he
says, I'VE should by all means and
with all our strength and will gain the
confidence and love of China At the
same time reports from the Amur
province tell of Russia's preparations
for increasing it's military forces on
the Chinese frontier and the Pacific
coast.

An Indian Veteran.

John Porus, a full-blooded Penob-
scot Indian, a veteran of the civil war,
having served in the Twenty fifth reg
iment Connecticut volunteers, is dead
in his lodge on the Penobscot reserva-
ton, Indian island, near Oldtown,
Maine.
While there were few other Maine
Indians in the union ranks, as far as is
known Porus is the only one who at
tracted any attention by gallant con-
duct or who was seriously wounded.
Porus lost a leg at Port Hudson and
drew pension.
At the first call for volunteers he
tried to enlist in Oldtown, but was re-
fused. He went to Massachusetts,, and
there was taken for a negro, being
opportunity. Nothing daunted. he
went to Connecticut, and there was
enlisted.
After his death a small packet was
found carefully wrapped in deerskin.
In this was roll of carefully selected,
thin birch bark, upon which was elab-
orately written in Indian dyes his au-
photography.
The manuscript is embellished with
rude drawings of war scenes. 1t will
be sent to the adjutant general of the
state, to be placed in the collection of
war relics in the state house.
In addition to the birch bark manu-
script was a much worn paper which
the old veteran cherished with great
care and rarely showed to any one.

POEM BY SAPPHO.

Man uscript ates from Sixth CT PeIha
the Seventh Century.
DR.. Schubart, the assistant director
of the Psychological department of the
Royal Museum in Berlin, has made an
important discovery. In examining
fragments of old books and manu-
scripts recently acquired by the mu-
scum he found torn and badly
crumpled piece of parchment, which
proved to be fragment of a parch
ment roll containing poems from the
fifth book of Sappho. The manuscript
dates from the sixth or perhaps the
seventh century, which is not surpris-
ing, as it is known that many of Sap
pho's poems had been preserved until
the poems were lost during the Ara
bian invasion of Europe.
The fragment, given in free transla-
ton. but preserving the meter, reads
us follows:
when she now,
Among Lydia's women appears,
IT'S like unto the full moon
Rising serenely in the evening sky.
1t Outshines
The most brilliant stars: it casts
Over the mirror-like sea
And meadows, in flowers clad.
Magic light.
Nature is bedecked with dew;
Sparkling are the roses,
Dainty flowers, and bushy herbs"

Veterans ond

It Is letter from the colonel Of his
regiment, and reads as follows:
Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. %, 1866.
ITO the Authorities of the State Of
Maine:
81 take great pleasure in stating
that John Porus Undian), now of Old
town, Me-, served in the Twenty-dfth
regiment, Connecticut volunteers. UNI
der my command, in the years of 1862
8. He was faithful, good man,
soldier which I particularly liked for
his GOODNESS and bravery.
He lost his leg by cannon shot
while lighting at the very front, and
he is entitled to all the consideration
which any brave, wounded soldier in
the state of Maine is entitled to, and I
hope he will receive state aid.
'sHe is an Indian, it is true, but I
would like to command a regiment of
just such good men as John Porus
was when he was in my regiment. Re-
spectfully,
