A little explanatory comment is re.
CURED: Borodino was the bloodiest
single days battle in modern times.
The fighting at Leipsic lasted more
than three days. In the latter battle
the French lost about $4,000 sick and
wounded men whom they had to aban-
don in hospitals as they retreated.
These are not included in the figures
given. At Borodino. Leipsic and other
battles of Napoleon's later wars the
French included many nationalities,
such as Poles, Italians, Be,gians. etc.
At Blenheim the French, who fought
and lost against Marlborough and
Prince Eugene, had Bavarian allies.
In the wars of Frederick the Great,
the army he defeated at Rossbach was
mainly French. At Kunerdorf the
force which routed him was chiefly
Russian. The French defeat at Sedan
was followed Immediately by the sur
render of an army of 5000 men. The
losses at Plevna cover a siege of
months, but the Russians and their
Roumanian allies lost 10000 in four
days fighting. The Turkish losses
were chiefly in the surrender of 10000
men with the fortress.
The bloodiest ten minutes of the civil
war was the first rush of the union
army against Lees impregnable works
at Cold Harbor. In half an hour the
federal loss was about 1000, and prob
ably $500 fell in ten minutes. At that
rate $1,000 men would be put out of
action in an hour, or 100000 in a sum-
mer day, such as the struggle at
Waterloo covered. But no men that
ever wore uniforms could stand such
slaughtering long.
II will be seen that in many cases
troops fighting behind intrenchments
suffered much more loss than those at
lacking such works. That is a rule
OF modern war. 1t enabled the Beers
to infiict losses on the British which
wer often ten times their own casual
ties. But in South Africa, as at San
tiago, the numbers engaged on both
sides were so small that the losses of
fights famous in their day will attract
little notice in the far view of history.

egg, says the Lancet. AS those who
rear poultry know, it is merely an in
dication of the strain of the laying
bird. Still a preference is very COM
monty shown for the brown, or coffee
colored egg; the color is attractive and
led by the eye, the choice is generally
made in favor of what is regarded as
the richer and superior article. The
practice of deception is thus encour-
aged The shell of the white egg Is
stained in the simplest possible way,
perhaps by immersion in a decoction
of coffee berries or by means of an ami
line dye. This resource may satisfy
the eye, but, after all, there is proba-
bly, not the slightest difference from
the nutritive point of view between the
naturally grown colored egg and the
white one.
There is most probably, however, an
, important dietetic difference between
two eggs, the yolk of one of which
is very pale yellow color and that
q
color. II is a notorious fact that the
country produced egg may usually be
placed under the latter description.
while the egg produced by the hen who
is under an unhealthy and limited en
Vlronment shows an anaemic color,

color.
The substance which contributes
color to the yolk of the egg is iron.
just as it is iron which gives color to
i the blood, and there seems to be lit
tie doubt that the iron compound in
the yolk of the egg is of a similar ma
ture to that of the blood. 1t is
easily assimilated and the eggs are re-
garded as a suitable food for the
anaemic person, as they present cou.
centrated and generally easily digested
form of nutriment rich in iron. The
iron compound of the egg has, in fact,
been termed a 'haemaotogen," be-
blood of the chick is derived. The
amount of iron in the yolk of an egg
would appear to- increase with the in
tensity of its color and there can be
little doubt that the maximum is
reached in richly colored yolk of
the egg produced by fowl existing
, in healthy surroundings, for then its
process of nutrition would he working
under very favorable conditions. AS
an article of diet, therefore, the egg
should be judged, not by the color OF
its shell but of the yolk which shonld
be rich reddish rather than a pale
yellow color.

COMPOSER OF DIXIE.
Song that VIII Live Through the
AGES.

The death of Daniel Decatur EN-
NETT, 'old Dan Emmett as he has been
called for many years, has called up
again the old discussion about his
famous song Dixie.
In the strenuous days of the civil
war southerners sometimes used to
say that the north tried to steal Dixie,
which was their tune" In a sense it
was and is, because Dan Emmetts
father was a Virginian and his
mother was born in Maryland but Dan
himself was born in Mount Vernon,
O., where his parents lived, ON Oct
29, 1915, and therefore had he liveo
till Oct. 29 of this year he would have
been SO years of age.
The song Dixie he wrote, words and
music, for Bryant's MINISTRIES in the
fall of 1859 and it was used by them,
Emmett himself being one of them, as
walk around" the then popular
finale of a minstrel program, in this
minstrel theater at 472 Broadway, New
York This was a year and half be
for the civil war broke out
Emmett himself always maintained
that the original manuscript of the
song was stolen from him while he
was travelling professionally in the
south before the war began. Consid-
ering how such things were cared for,
however, it is more probable that he
lost it by accident. No one whit
heard it a few times needed more than
memory to know it ''for good"
He said that when he was suddenly
called on to write it "a tune was buzz
zing in his head" and he wrote it 'su-
on the lines and spaces in ten minutes,
fitting the words to it afterward. This
makes it probable that the tune was
very like something he had picked
up in his long connection with min>
strelsy-probably a blending of two or
three strains more or less well known
among plantation negroes and then
white imitators-and this would &C
count for the southern notion that
somebody had stolen it from the south.

How Methods in Railroad Finance

Thomas F. Woodlock, the editor of
The Wall Street Journal asks this
pertinent question in the World 5
Work:
Can Wall Street" be said to have
made moral growth in the past gener-
alton? | think that any unprejudicea
observer who looks little below the
surface must fairly answer, ''Yes. :"
Not a little evidence exists to show
very satisfactory progress in the past
20 or so years toward a clearer view
OF right and wrong.
Consider, first, the case of the rail.
road companies. 1t is hardly a gen
Grafton from the iniquities that mark

of the old Erie, the old Wabash, and a
score of other less shining instances.

3. Dishonest accounting.
Moreover, we have seen, in the
same period, marked advance in the
general efficiency of the machinery OF
transportation.
Twenty or so years ago, the reputa-
ton of American railroad securities
among foreign investors was distinctly
bad. A few of the holder ones bought
our bonds. and made larger profits by
doing so. Spectators in London and
Amsterdam bought our stocks. made
large profits on some and lost heavily
on others, but never at any time de-
luded themselves with the idea that in
buying them they were anything but
spectators. Nowadays, foreign in.
vestors realize that all our railroad
securities cannot be included in one
category labeled Highly Speculative,
and most of our large railroad sys-
TENS have established for themselves
reputation of honesty and fair deal
ing, and a stability that 20 years ago
would have seemed unatainable.

Music in Japan.

Public Opinion Music in the eyes Of
the Japanese is a very inferior art,
the general belief being that the com
bination Of sounds may possibly please
women and children but that Japa-
nese gentleman could not possibly toll
crate them, no matter under what pre-
text. In fact, it was not very long ago
that the profession Of musician was
considered by the japanese as being
an insult TO human dignity, and where
as there have existed for centuries
popular songs winch water-carrier and
the workers il the rice feds sang in
chorus, as well as war songs sung by
the sailors, the profession of musician
has been considered unworthy of any
man, and has been exclusively left
with the women, ii being largely for
purposes OF clearly characterizing and
accentuat.ng her inferior.ty that she
has been allowed to exercise her apti-
tudes and tastes In musical COMPOST

To Avoid Sunburn.

Before going forth on any adventure
which may entail sunburning, oil the
face with cold cream, or with pure
white vaseline and almond oil, and
then use some good, reliable powder.
If you do not care for looks, put it on
thickly, as it acts as a mask to pro
tect the skin.
Avoid as far as possible the refec-
lions of the sun upon glazing sand or
water This burns more quickly than
anything else. A veil is a great pro.
tection-a silk tissue veil rather than
lace with spots.
Resist the temptation, after the ex.
posture to the heat and the probabilities
of suaburn, to wash the face Water
sets the dye of the sunburn.
Instead, wipe the face gently with
some oily preparation and use sooth
.ng powder. The effects of the burn
will soon pass away
When you wash the face use water
as hot as can be borne, dabbing the
face with it, or applying it with hot
cloth. Do not use powder puff in
compresses-that is, thick folds of
applying powder. but piece of absorb
.ent cotton or a cheesecloth, which can
be thrown aside after use.
To ward off tan take the same pre-
cautions as for sunburn. and, if it has
already appeared, apply lemon juice in
addition. This will help if not cure
the blackness.
If freckles are not deep, lemon juice
or weak acids are sufficient, applied
