Detroit post, G. A. r., has in its pos
session one of the most interesting
relics of the civil war perhaps in the
country in the shape of a SCARED and
torn trunk of a red oak tree which is
supposed to have stood in line Of the
hot fire of Confederate cannon and
rifles when Longstreet forced back the
left of the Union army at Chickamau-
ga in September, 1868. The trunk of
the tree, as it now appears, is about
twenty feet in diameter and was cut
In 1893 three feet from the ground.
Embedded in one side are three solid
round shot, evidently fired from a
twelve pound Parrot gun, and three
three-inch steel projectiles, probably
from rified cannon, the butt ends Of
which project about two inches. The
trunk is also scanned and Scared by
numerous bullets, and fragments of
shell can be seen in many places.

IF other eyes grow dull and other
hands slack and other hearts grow

Let us, then, at the time appointed
gather around the sacred remains and

THE WASTE IN FLOWERS.
Not Faded Bud For the Poor, who
Can Really Appreciate Them

Can Really Appreciate Them.
In reading the life of Nero we mar
vel to hear that he had the floor Of his
I banquet hall solidly carpeted with cut
flowers so that their fragrance might
be pleasantly diffused as the guests
crushed them under foot But flowers
are cheap in Italy, and Nero never paid
So apiece for American Beauty roses,
which, as a matter of fact, have been
bought at that price by New York deal
ers to be sold again at an advance.
And what would Nero have thought of
that Boston speculator who is said to
have paid 100000 for lot of carna-
tons! Fancy coming on such a fact in
the histories-600,0 sesterces for some
pinks!
And yet, poor as are the Door in our
great cities, and hungry as they are, it
is not so much the waste of money
spent on flowers that they would de-
plore as the waste of the flowers them
selves. If the rich realized how the
poor love flowers, how they long for
flowers, l am sure they would make
better use of the blooms they buy in
such profusion or gather from their
greenhouses They would see to it that
others enjoyed them also, not merely
the withered roses and dropping lilies,
the crushed crumbs of their abundance,
but sweet, fresh flowers, Just a few
from their great store, few of the
best and most beautiful for the poor,
especially poor children.
Let me give two instances out of
real life. This one happened in our
own family a few months ago. 1t was
midwinter, and on coming home one
night l found a large vase filled with
long stemmed American Beauty roses.
'Where did these come from?" 1 in
quired.
'The cook gave them to me-" said
my wife.
"The cook?" 1t seemed impossible,
for at that season such roses cost sew
eral dollars apiece. But the explana-
ton was very simple. They had been
given to our cook by the waitress in
rich home where there were extensive
greenhouses. Every morning the head
gardener brings in quantity of fresh
flowers for the various rooms, and the
waitress removes the most faded ones
of the day before. And these she gives
away as she pleases-to the butcher,
the baker, the eXpressman, anybody
500 worth of rare flowers every day,
quite as fresh as those you buy.
l asked the cook about this. Don't
they ever send flowers to the hos
pitalY'
mo, sir"
"Nor to the poor"
mo, sir"
"Why not?' l asked.
"The lady says she can't be bothered
by people coming after them"
And it appears that when the family
are away from home the whole product
of the greenhouses is sent to various
neighbors with the ladys compliments,
but no flowers go to the poor!-Cleve-
land Moffett in Success.

THE JAPANESE RED CROSS.
Probably the Finest Organization of
the Kind In the World.

The Red Cross society of Japan is
probably, all things considered, the
finest organization Of the kind in the
world. 1t has been growing and i'm
proving constantly since its small ORR
gin in 1877 and now has nearly a mil
lion members, an excellent relief or
ganization and large funds. Its meth
DDS are radically different from any
volunteer aid we have yet seen in
America, for its fundamental assump-
ton is that the army knows its own
business and is competent to attend to
it. Its general attitude instead of i'm
plying, I'VE know the medical depart
ment will break down in the field, and
therefore we insist on going to the
front and into the camps to supply its
defects" indicates this 1.-THE people of
Japan appreciate so highly the work
of the medical department that they
ask the privilege of assisting it"
On the contrary, in the Spanish
American war we had a multiplicity
of small societies, meaning well, but
working blindly and at cross purposes,
accomplishing good at an altogether
disproportionate cost of money and la
Dor and not infrequently interfering
with and handicapping the work of the
responsible medical officers.
But in the Japanese-Russian war
there is a single great, well prepared
organization, the ally and assistant of
the medical officers, working only
where it is instructed that it will be of
use and accomplishing vast good at a
minimum cost.
The japanese Red Cross society Is
characteristic Of the nation, for every
war, campaign and great disaster since
its foundation has been to its officers a
lesson by which they have profted. In
the present war they are always on the
alert TO discover their defects, to learn
how to remedy them and to gain new
ideas for improvement. 1t was as one
of many means to attain these ends
that some American army nurses were
wanted In the japanese hospitals.

Professor John Milne, the authority
appealed to every time an earthquake
disturbs the earth's crust, has qualified
for his post by studying the surface of
the globe in many lands. As mining
engineer and seismologist his journey
ings have taken him over Russia,
China, Arabia, Australia, America and
Newfoundland. In Japan, where he
was for twenty years in the govern
ment employ he established an earth
quake survey with nearly a thousand
stations. The cable companies often
appeal to him when their lines are in
terrupted and never in vain. Some
time ago it was reported that two
West Indian cables had broken on
Dec. 81. THAT is very unlikely" said
Professor Milne, 'but l have a seismo-
gram showing that these cables may
have broken at II 80 a. m. on Dec. 20"
