The most valuable aloes come from
the island Of Sokotra. which lies just
off the East African coast from Cape
Guardaful. The drug itself is the bit
ter resinous juice of the leaves of the
aloe paint that has been hardened in
the sun. These leaves are of a
fibrous, flcshy nature and, in addition
to the juice, the natives make this fiber
into rope. many insisting that it makes
n better rope than hemp.

The Cry of the Old House.

Come backt
My little lads. come back,
My little maids, with starched frocks:
My lads, my maids, come backi
The poplar trees are black
Against the keen, lone throbbing sky;
The tang OF the old box
Fills the clear dusk from wall to wall,
And the dews fall.
Come back!
l watch, l cry:
Leave the, rude wharf. the mart;
Come back.
Else | shall break my heart.
Am forgot;
My days as they were not?-
The warm, sweet, grooming tunes:
The Sunday afternoons,
Wrought but for you;
The IarkSpurS growing tall
You wreathed in pink and blHe,
Within your prayer-books small;
The cupbOards carved both in and out,
With curious, prickly vine,
And smelling far and fine;
The pictures i'll a row.
OF folks you did not know:
The toys, the games, the shrill, gay rout
The lanterns, that at hour for bed
A charmed. but hOmely red
Went fickerinS from shed to shed:
The fagots crumbling spicy, good,
Brought in from the great wood:
The Dark that held you all about:
The Wind that would not go?-
Come back, my women and my men,
Ard take them all again,

porters of Messrs. Fernald and Prescott
had based their hopes on the idea that
Mr.. Cobb would not have more than 2oo
delegates pledged to him, whereas ne
already has more than 400. The cap
ture of a small town in Knox county

The general order No. As Of this year
from the War Department, relating to
the purchase or discharge from the
army, will be amended to meet the de-
mands for something more specific in
the new rules and rates which have
been established. Numerous inquiries
continue to be received at the depart
ment, not only from and in behalf of
enlisted men who are most directly in
terested in the provisions of the order,
but from paymasters and others who
have to do with the accounts of soldiers
and the transactions involved in this
form Of discharge. There are several
questions presented by the order in it's
present form and these can only be set
tied imam official way. the simplest be-
ing, perhaps, the issue of 4 revised or
der, the text of which shall leave no
room for doubt. The comptroller of
the treasury has settled verbally one of
the questions raised. There was no
time for formal decision in the matter
and to permit action on several pend
ing applications for discharge by pur-
chase, he Informed the War depart
ment his probable decision when the
questions should reach him. 1t related
to previous service, the comptroller
holding that it need not be continuous
in order to be applied to the period
which determines the amount involved
in the purchase. Another question
which has come up owing to the ambi-
guilty of the text of the order is sug-
gested by the provision that "only COM
plete enlistments of three years
will be considered in determining
the Ordinal number of an enlistment"
What shall be done in the case of the
soldier who served three years or only
a part of the term, when the period of
enlistment was for five years? That is
