+! LIS On BLOODY SOIL.
DEDICATION OF A MONUMENT
ON FIELD OF ANTIETAM.
Shaft Recalls the Story of That Des-
perate Engagement Between Gener-
ais Mcclellan and LeeG President
Roosevelt in Attendance.

Forty-one years ago the bloody bat
tie Of Antietam, between the Confeder-
ate forces under Gen. Robert E. Lee
and the Union troops under Gen.
George B. Mcclellan. was fought on
the soil of Maryland. In commemora-
ton OF the part taken in the enga ge-
ment by the troops of New Jersey
monument was recently erected by
that commonwealth, and dedicated in
the presence Of President Roosevelt,
who delivered an address.
The battle was one of the bloodiest
conflicts of the war. After the defeat
OF the army of the Potomac In the
seven days fighting along the Chicka-
hominy the Confederates resolved upon
an invasion of Maryland. The seven
days fighting had been highly en-
couraging to the Confederates, and
CORRESPONDENCE depressing to the
Union side. The Federals had lost
in those battles total of 10000 killed,
wounded and prisoners, 81 pieces Of
artillery. $4,000 stand Of arms and i'm
lnense quantities of military stores
What was still more dlscouraging, the
magnificent army of Mcclellan had
been pushed back to the James river.
This situation thoroughly aroused the
government at Washington. Two
orders were issued in quick success
sion, each calling for 100000 fresh
troops, and within the brief period of
three months 100000 men were raised,
armed and placed In the field.

CRIMINAL INSECTS.
Damage They Do Mounts Up Into
Millions Of Dollars.

Damage They Do Mounts UP into
Millions Of Dollars.
In France the phylloxera, tiny IN
sect with luxurious tastes, cost the
vineyard owners $600,00O.000 a few
yeras ago, that being the value of the
royal feast they had enjoyed.
Perhaps, however, says Stray
Stories, the worst and most dreaded
criminal of them all is the locust.
He gathers in swarms not of thou
sands. but millions, and where the
hordes go darkness gathers over the
land. for the light of day is shut out
by them. When they have laid dis
trict under contribution not blade
of vegetation remains upon it.
Comfort. however, may be obtained
in the fact that the criminal locust
himself is fried and roasted in some
countries, and, no doubt, many a peas
ant who has suffered from a locust
visit enjoys these meals with an en-
HANGED gusto.
The extent, however, of the locust
in Cyprus peasants are paid 5000 for
every ton of locust eggs they destroy.
In some years as many as 60 tons
are destroyed. which means that
some 6SO,OO0,OO0 of locusts have been
cheated of their chance Of existence.
But still they come. and recently the
locust swarms were as active as ever.
Another criminal insect is the &C.
phidae, or stem sawfly. The female
of this class of insect first bores her
way into the stems of young wheat,
and there deposits her eggs. The
larva, finding itself in pleasant sur
roundings, very soon quickens into
life and to gorge itself. OF course
that means that this stem Of wheat
is ruined. In sunny Japan, few
-ears back, the stem sawfly ruined
crops to the value of $4,000, 900.

A QUEEN WHO RAN HER FAMILY.
How Louise Of Denmark Maintained
Lar PoSifion

The late Queen Louise of Denmark
was a shy woman who preferred a
full inner life to a shining external
one, says Everybody's Magazine. She
possessed in an extraordinary degree
the power of suggesting" to others
without appearing to wish or will.
Though masterful, she never appear
ed to seek for mastery in family or
other matters, ami she retained to the
last day of her life her maternal hold
on the hearts of her children and
kin. Those who entered the family
by marriage became amenable to her
moral suasion. She understood that
a way to hold her own with them
was to avoid all intrusion in their
homes and affairs.
When the Imperial Royal and ex-
lied kindred gathered round the late
Queen of Denmark. at Fredensborg.
they accepted absolutely her sway
as mother and mistress Of the house.
The law OF primogeniture ruled; thus
the Princess of Wales took prece-
dence in Denmark. except on state
occasions, over her younger sister,
the Empress of Russia. She sat be
side her mother in driving out in the
Queens little dogcart, and the En-
press sat at their back holding on by
the side rails, with her feet on the
board and her knees close 10 her chin.
