Horrible Cruelty to Children.

Some interest is being aroused in
Madras at present by the exhibition
of two dwarfs who are alleged to be
over fifty years of age, and are sister
and brother. These beings are not
only small, but distorted. 1t is be-
lieved that "dwarfs" of this kind are
manufactured" in India There is a
practice extant in the Punjab of
elongating infants heads so as to
render them out of all proportion to
the body The effect of compression
on the brain renders the victims
idiotic.
They are then sent around to beg,
and in their journeys visit the Madras
and Bombay presidencies. An in
stinct akin to that of an animal, how
ever, still lives in the distorted beings
and invariably brings them back to
their masters

Patriotic Union Women.

Frank Miller was the name taken
by Frances Hook, IA years old, who
enlisted with her brother in Chicago
during the civil war. The pair took
up their fortune with the Sixty-fifth,
known as the Home Guard. They
served three months and were mus
tered out Again they enlisted in the
Nineteenth Illinois, and the brother
vas killed at Pittsburg Landing. His
sister remained in the regiment and
did her duty until near Chattanooga,
when she was taken prisoner. While
attempting to escape she was shot in
the leg and her sex was discovered.
The brother of an Ohio girl enlisted
and his determination to fight for the
flag was followed by his younger sis
ter. She marched out with the
Third Ohio. At Camp Dennison she
assisted in all the duties of forming
the camp: then learning that there
were two Camp Dennisons and that her
brother was at the other, she made ap-
rlication for a transfer, but failed.
She wanted to leave the camp so
much that Col. Morrow questioned her
and learned her secret Without much
ceremony she was dismissed and sent
home.
Scores of women besides these ac-
companied their husbands to the war
for few weeks, but few of them went

cooperation of nurse and physician.
Even when a suitable modification
of milk has been found the child is
often not strong enough to swallow
it. OF the several methods employed
to overcome this difficulty, the one
most favored in Paris is that of feed
ing through the nose.
Every two hours the nurse in at
tendance takes the little babe from
the couveuse- Sitting down before
the stove, she places the child on
her knees and gently pours into its
nose one or two teaspoonfuls of either
sterilized or mothers milk, already
warmed. AS the nurse carefully bends
the child's head backward the milk
runs down the throat. The repast
over, the nurse returns the infant to
the incubator.
In some respects the French system
is inferior to that used in the United
States in similar institutions. Here,
when the infant is fed through the
nose, a medicine dropper is used in
place of a teaspoon; and, where the
incubator invented by DIR. J. B. De Lee
is used, the child can, if necessary, be
fed while still in the incubator. In
the United States in general sterilized
milk is coming to be used less and
less instead all the dishes and bottles
which are to be used in preparation
of the food are boiled at least one
hour, and every care is taken to have
the milk itself free from disease and
to preserve it from contamination
A delicate point in the raising of
feeble infants is the administration
OF a proper quantity of food. To
learn whether or not they have abb
sorbed enough nutriment and are de-
veloping satisfactorily, the nurse
weighs them daily in a perfectly ad-
justed scale and keeps careful &C
count of their progress.

The Gun and the Old Canteen.
That old rusty gun hanging there on the
wall,
With it's muzzle all battered and beat;
1t was carried away to the war one day
When the first three-months men went,
1t was then brand new and its aim was
true,
And the knapsack that hangs between

Blood Stains Lasted Long.

Capt. Ira B. Gardner, who attended
the G.. A. r. encampment with the
veterans from Maine, related a most
interesting story to a reporter shortly
before his departure for his home in
Potten. Me. He said:
81 lost my arm at the battle OF Oc-
coquan Creek, Va, Sept. 10, 1864,
while serving under Gen. Sheridan
Immediately after 1 was wounded l
was taken to a nearby farmhouse and
laid in a hallway to await the arrival
of the surgeons to amputate my arm
The floor was very uncomfortable
resting place for my head, and l asked
the woman of the house for pillow,
for which l gave her S. In due time
the surgeons arrived and performed
the operation, and l was sent to Win
chester, from which place l was re
turned to my home.
Last year my wife and l came
down to Virginia and looked over the
battlefield at AccoQuan Creek, where
/ was so seriously injured. While
walking about 1 found the house in
which 1 was laid after being wounded,
and the woman who ministered to my
wants and gave me the pillow. l be-
gan to talk to her about the war, and
between 300 and 400 soldiers treated
in her house only one had ever given
her any money. She said that If she
remembered right it was. Capt. Gard
fner, of a Maine regiment, who made
her a present of SIS. 1 informed her
that that was my name, and that 1
was the officer she referred to- She
said if 1 was Capt. Gardner she would
show me something that would inter-
est men. She led my wife and me
back to the spot upon which l had
been laid thirty-seven years before,
and pointed out stains which, she
said, were caused by my blood. The
woman said she had tried many times
to wash away the blood stainz. but
without success. 1 gave the woman
$40 then and mailed her a check for
SIS upon my return home. l related
the fact of finding the woman to my
father, who also mailed her a check
for $25, and we agreed that the woman
should not want as long as either of US
lived
Capt. Gardner, who earned the rank
of brevet lieutenant colonel for SER
vices during the war, said he thought
it most remarkable that the blood
stains should remain on the floor thir-
ty-seven years.-Washingto Star.

The Fourth Army Corps.

The very flower of American youth
was enlisted in the Fourth Army
corps, says an Eastern exchange. Its
dead marked every battlefield from
Fort Donelson to Nashville; through
four years of war, undaunted by
bloody battle, participating in every
engagement from Chattanooga to At
lanta, it gained for itself an enviablt
record among the organizations of the
volunteer army. After the death o.
Gen Mcpherson on July %, in the
battle before Atlanta, Gen. Howard
was transferred to the Army of the
Tennessee and Major General David
s. Stanley became commander of the
Fourth Army Corps, and Brigadiel
General Nathan Kimball took com
mand of the first division.
After the battles of Franklin ano
Nashville, the Fourth corps was sem
to the Rio Grande in Texas, to aid il
enforcing the order of the state de
part for the French to evacuate Mex
leo. Here, the French having retired
the corps was mustered out.

one case in which two or three fright

the road from Bridgeport to Chatta

we're broken up or overturned, forty
mules crippled or killed, and thou

army stores destroyed.
In fact, the stampede was almosi
as disastrous to the army as a defeaI
in battle, and there was no excuse fol
it, as there was for the stampede OF
the teams on the second day at Chick

A system of instruction has been
undertaken to educate the Paris
police in the art of describing faces.
An interesting part of the instruction
is that special value is attached to
the ear No two ears are alike.

base of the system employed Close

The next time of my sickness l found my self no better, and in that way 1t kept going on from time to time until 1 became discouraged. 1 finally resolved to write you for advice. I purchased two bottles of Dr. Pierce's FavOrite Pre- scription, two vials of his Pleas ant Pellets, and by using only that small quantity have found wonderful relief. I say to all who are suffering from troubles similar to mine that 1t Is unnec- esSary to be sick when one can use Dr. Pierce'S remedies"

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure any disorder or disease of the organs distinctly femi- nine. Perhaps it's greatest usefulness Is ill preparing women for the ordeal of childbirth. Taken during the ex- pectant period it practically elirni- mates pain and danger at the time of parturition.
 Write Dr. Pierce for advice and you willreceive an immediate answer and without cost to you. All correspond ence strictly confidential
 We also advise all women who suf- fer great pain at each recurring period to take good vegetable laxative, such as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, just previous to this time, as constipation is usually an aggravating feature of the trouble.
 Don't allow the druggist to sell you something rjust as good,r because it's cheaper. The cheap kind has not the thousands of cures 10 its credit that Dr. Pierce's medicine has.
