which ought TO have been held by line of
skirmishers against any assaulting column,
and wherever resistance was made the
enemy fed in disorder after suffering heavy
loss. Those who reached the Ridge did SO
in a condition of exhaustion from the great
physical exertion in climbing which rem
dered them powerless, and the slightest eff
fort would have destroyed them. Having
secured much of our artillery they soon
awaited themselves of our panic, and, turn
ing cur guns upon us, enfiladed the lines,
both right and left, rendering them entire
iy untenable.
Had all parts of the line been main
tanned with equal gallantry and persistence
no enemy could ever have dislodged us,
and but one possible reason presents itself
to my mind in explanation of this bad con-
duct in veteran troops who had never be

however difficult and hazardous. They
had for two days confronted the enemy,

superiority in numbers as may have init
Undated weak-minded and untried soldiers:
but our veterans had so often encountere
similar hosts when the strength of posi-
ton was against us, and with perfect sue
cess, that not a doubt crossed my mind.

New Uses for Waste Products
(Success.)

In England, short time ago, a courage
| Gus promoter organized company for the
| extraction of gold from sea water. But
even such an achievement as that would
not be more wonderful than the new pro
| cesses for extracting products of value
| from garbage and refuse, the disposal OF
which is such a troublesome problem in
great city. Garbage is heated with wa
ter and chemicals until it is reduced to
liquid form. The grease is removed,
and finds ready market. The liquid is
evapOrated, leaving a solid which is
ground: the gases, meanwhile, being used
as fuel. The powder. rich in ammonium
salts. nitrogen, and phophates. is sold TO
makers of fertilizers. The removal of
garbage is still an item of great cost in
the budgets of many Municipalities: but.
where special attention has been paid TO
scientific methods of disposal it is becom-
ing source of income. Where city re-
fuse is burned, the heat energy is trans
formed into power for mills, heat for
homes, and electric light for streets From
the ashes n cement is made.
More than two thousand tons of refuse
are removed every day from the cesspools
of Paris and from this waste is made am
mOnia for the scent bottles of the Paris
ian women of fashion. The city of Ant
werp once paid $1,000 year to get rid Of
its refuse: now 1t receives an income from
it Of hundreds of thousands of dollars
In Augsburg, ceSspOol matter is treated
with acid, dried TO n powder. and used as
fertilizer. Germany annually imports
millions of dollars worth of Peruvian
guano to fertifiZe the soil, when the value
OF the nitrogen lost in the refuse of the
city of Munich alone has been estimated
at S5OO,OO0.. Some enthusiast has esti-
mated the value of the material lost in
the sewers of the United States as equal
to half the interest on the national debt
In the great packing houses of the
West, what now furnishes articles of food
and other commodities to millions was
once destroyed as useless waste. This So
called waste is now treated with benzine
and. upon evaporation, yields crude fats,
which are purified and come to us in the
form of soaps, lubricants, cooking oils, and
butter for the table.
The bones of animals are used in many
ways, as in the manufacture of bone

tic oils, tallow, black pigment for paints.

Readers of Success will recall the time
when hundreds of millions of bushels of
the Indian corn crop went to waste Some
of the surplus was burned or used as n
fertilizer. but the greater part of it was
left to rot Now one corporation alone,
the Glucose Sugar Refining Company,
uses 100000 bushels of corn every day
to make useful products from what was
once n waste. Thirty different CONNER

the Confederate loss in killed and wound

loss in prisoners was Alag, while the
Union loss in prisoners was only $40 The
Confederate army fought behind well-con-
structed breastworks. The Union forces
were the attacking party, and fought at
great disadvantage. 1t is remarkable

SUBSTITUTION IN DRUG STORES.
It Robs the Manufacturer and swindies the
Public.
Chicago Ameriean.)

We again call attention to the dishonest
practice of substituting an inferior article
for that which is demanded or the ground
that the one substituted is Just as good.
The druggist VINO INDUCES in the game
Of substitution is open to criticism from
many points Of view.
In the first place, he Is ungrateful to
the men who manufacture, and who,
through widespread publicity, promote the
druggists business and profits.
If man spends hundreds of thousands
Of dollars in advertising and as result
sends customers to a druggist, it is ex-
tremely ungrateful as well as dishonest
for the druggist TO prevent the normal sale
and for the sake of few extra pennies TO
substitute an inferior article.
Substitution is dishonest toward the
public. The druggist is asked for a GER
tain remedy or other well-known and val
liable article.
He replies that he has something else
lust as good" or better, and often adds:
Il make this myself and know just what
it contains"
As matter of fact, he rarely or never
makes it himself; he does not know what
it contains. He simply patronizes one Of
the numerous concerns that make a bust
ness of putting on the market cheap sub
stitutes to deceive the public.
If druggist offers you something Just
as good you may be sure that he has not
very high opinion Of your intelligence or
Of your Importance. He does not tell his
best customers what they want to buy; he
does not tell them that they don't know
what they want. He takes good care to
give them just what they ask for, because
he wants to keep their custom.
For those whom he considers inferior or
transient customers he reserves his
phrases about something lust as good"
that he makes himself.
If you ask druggist for a certain arti-
Gle and he offers you something else lust
as good" tell him that you know what you
want and that you will patronize a drug
store that gives you credit for ordinary in
telligence.
You might ask the clerk who wants you
to take something lust as good" whether
he will accept button in place of the half
dollar owing him on the ground that the
button Is lust as good" and that you
know personally what it contains
The substituting druggist who wants a
dollar will not accept anything else as
Just as good" He reflects on your intel
ligence; he thinks that you don't know
what you want, or believes that you will
not insist on having it.
The system Of substitution encourages
adulteration Of goods and encourages dis
honesty. 1t discourages the work of ener-
getic men. 1t is the duty of the public to
stop the practice, and that il can easily do
by patronizing merchants who keep and
sell what the public wants.

account for this only on the theory that
the enemy's surprise at the audaeity of
such charge caused confusion and pur

Saturday Evening Post.

Congressman Albert J. Hopkins who is
leading candidate for the seat in the
United States Senate now held by William
Il. Mason, entered the House of Repre-
sentatives more than - years ago with Il
determination to do something which
would win the approval of his constituents
before the first session was over. But
weeks dragged into months before he was
able to see his opportunity. This came in
the form of request from Aurora, his
home city, that he see if two islands i'll
the Fox River could be purchased from
the Government as Il site for the erection
of municipal buildings.
At once the young Congressman pre-
pared a bill, ceding the islands to the city
Of Aurora. Day after day he Joined the
group i'll front of Speaker Carlisle's desk
and clnmOred for the recognition of the
presiding officer But all in vain The
Speaker could see the older members
above the young statesman from Illinois,
but never recognized him. One day, how
ever, the brilliant Sunset Cox" was called
to preside over the House while Mr.. Car
Isle was absent for a week This gave
Mr.. Hopkins new hope. He haunted the
groups to which Mr.. Cox told his inimita-
Bile stories, and not another auditor laugh
ed so heartily as he. After one of these
stories had been heard and applauded Mr..
Hopkins asked: s.r..y
Mr.. Cox, conld | get recognition to-
morrow so that my bill could be put
through by consent"
Bless your red headr' exclaimed the
temporary Speaker, ''Of course You can.
Every time | see that hair of yours /
think of a certain red-headed girl | knew
years ago, and I'll give you chance for
her sake-nO matter where you are"
Next day Mr.. Hopkins was missing
from the clamoring group in front of the
Speaker. He arose in his own seat and
Immediately heard thelwelcome words:
The gentleman from Illinois has the
floor"
Instantly the Hateful bill was passed.
