A Decreasing Army.

A few days ago a Grand Army
post at Gloucester, N. j.. was
abandoned because its member
ship had dwindled to such extent
that it was not feasable to con-
tinue the organization. In its.
self the incid ent is not note
worthy. but it is worth more
than a passing comment, when
one considers in what direction
1t really points.
The painful truth is gradually
dawning upon the American
public that the veterans of the
Civil war are old men, and that
the end Of the Grand Army of
the Republic, which cannot be
recruited, is beginning to cast its
shadow upon our time. 1t was
forty years ago that the great
war ended. Men who are now
in the prime Of life were then in
their cradles. The war began A
years ago and the soldier who en-,
listed at the beginning when p
years of age is now 65-not old,
but yet on the rapidly descend
ing side of mans journey, which
seems SO long at the beginning,
but which is really SO short,
after ALL
The Grand Army reached its
maximum of membershipin 1890
when the total was 400, 489. BY
1894, the membership had fallen
to 369, ,063, which was a loss since
the maximum was recorded of
10000 a year. In the last decade
the loss has been $4,000 a year,
which shows that for the last
fifteen years, the membership
has not only been declining but
that the rate of decrease is
steadily increasing. In 1904 the
annual report showed memb ber
ship of 246, 261-a loss of 163, ,228
members since the maximum
was reached in 1890. Another
fifteen years will cut over 200, 900
from the mem bership of the or
ganlzation, which means that its
end is in sight.
The figures are full of sorrow,
but they are remorseless and in
evitable. They should reinforce
the obligation upon the newer
generation which has stridden
upon the scene Of action to deal
fairly and Justly by the old sol
dier. and, locking arm in arm, to
aid his faltering steps. Let not
the young American forget! Let
not the support of the old soldier
be confined to so much for pen
si0ns, and to such and such
measure of oratory on Memorial
fayj The veteran of the Civil
war gave the best years of his
young manhood, and made a
of business opportunity
and health, to the cause OF the
nation. IL was the supreme de
votion of loyal citizenship. In
view of the fast thinning ranks
of the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, let the original sacrifice
Ind the present need be not for
gotten. --Argus-Leader. +

February is month Of severe storms
and intense cold.
Even in the South where the prevail
ing temperature is much above wintry
attitudes, February brings sudden changes
Of temperature.
Mercury sometimes drops 20 degrees in
Therefore, the following health hints
are applicable to the whole Of North
America:
Ventilation.
The sleeping rooms should be well ven
Glated, but SO as to avoid direct currents
Of air
BGthtng.
Those in vigorous health should take
A cold water towel bath every morning
before breakfast. Those in feeble health
should take brisk dry-towel-rub every
morning.
Diet.
The diet should be generous one, in
cluding meat, and occasionally fresh vege-
tables.
Sunshine.
The nights being long and the days
short, as much sunshine as possible
should be let into the house during the
day.
Clothing.
The head should be kept cool at all
times. The feet should be kept warm
and dry, day and night.
Pe-rlt-1t0.
When unavoidably exposed to cold or
wet, few doses of Peruna will avert
bad consequences.
Precaattt0ss.
When seized with chill, or even slight
chilliness, a dose OF Peruna should be
taken at once.

How e sweeten Sugar ArtifieiaIly.

All sugar is not sweet, or rather
sweet enough to come up to the re-
quired standard of sweetness, so some
kinds must be sweetened artifciaIy.
There are many establishments where
this process is carried on. A cone Of
sugar is placed over an apparatus apex
downward, many little holes in the ap-
paratus coming in contact with the
point of the cone. A thick liquid is
poured on the fiat end Of the cone and
the machinery is set in motion. The
holes become the mouths of the sue
ton tubes, and the sweetening liquid
is drawn through the cone, giving it
the necessary quality.

The Societa Elettr0tecnia Italiana Of
Turin has invented and constructed de
vices for the application Of electric
power TO plows and other farm machin-
cry, writes Consul Cueno from Turin,
Italy. The experiment of plowing by
electric power was recently made near
this city in the presence of representa-
tive men from different parts of Italy,
and, it is reported, with gratifying
success.
The device consists of two power
cars, which are stationed at each side
of the field, and between which are
stretched cables attached to the plow.
The electric current is taken from a
trolley line: a current of about SOC
volts is said to be needed, Each car
is said to communicate twenty-five
horsepower, which can safely be in.
creased to forty horsepower. The
plow is pulled by the cables from one
side of the field to the ether, and when
it reaches the end Of the furrow it
stops automatically, the current being
cut off. 1t can be run backward OF
forward with ease. One man manages
the plow, and each car is operated by
one man. Thus three men do all the
work.
or course. much depends on the con.
dition of the soil, but it is said that
from seven to fifteen acres can be
plowed in twelve hours. These power
cars are said to be as easily managed
as traction engines, and their power
can be applied to threshing machines,
corn shelters, pumps, grain drills, etc.

No Plain skirt

Society for the most part has set its
stamp of approval on the very full
skirts, but only when they are voted
becoming TO the wearer's figure. Every
now and again skirt will be seen
to cling to the ligure halfway down
to the knees, whence it fares in a
most conventional and up-to-date man
ner. No really plain skirts are seen
at the opera. unless the material is
chiffon velvet, and even the monotony
Of this exquisite texture is relieved by
panels of rare lace.

An altogether attractive evening
dress by Paquin has just been shown.
1t is of white net and is trimmed with
seemingly endless rufiies and ruchings
of Valenciennes lace an inch and an
inch and half in width. This scheme
finishes the skirt at the foot, and is re-
peated three times above, though this
upper trio do not cross the front
breadth. Where they stop each side
there's a dainty silver ornament that
looks like lace. Very fascinating is the
coat-like corsage of pink silk. 1t is en-
broidered with silver in the most deli
cate fashion. There are little coat-tails
and there are dainty elbow sleeves,
but there isn't much coat at the front.
It is cut away to show the net and the
little VAL ruffles. There is cheni-
sette effect of the net and lace. A Pc
culiar feature is cross-over-like drap-
cry of the pink silk across the front
In addition TO this there are the most
charming buttons of coral, with silver
deposit.

A dress being made for one who Is
to sojourn in the sunny South intro
duces one to novel fashion. It is a
lace gown trimmed with velvet. This
particular example Of new mode is
of white Irish crochet lace. There is
a deep fiounce around the skirt, which
is further adorned with three rows of
cords, each being covered with blue
velvet. The corsage is also of the lace,
and here the cord trimming is confined
to the rather large leg q mutton
sleeves. There is a little chemisette
of tucked null. and the tiny revers
which frame it are faced with the vel
vet. Though exceedingly simple the
dress is as far out of the commonplace
as it is attractive.

wearers Of Cockades.

Cockades were formerly worn only
by soldiers, which gave rise to the
phrase, common both in England and
France, ito mount the cockade," mean
ing to become a soldier. The black
cockade worn on the hats of officers
servants was introduced into Britain
by George 1. from his German domin-
ions. The real right to use it belongs
not only to naval and military officers,
but also to the holders Of certain offices
under the crown, such as Priyy Coun-
cilors. Cabinet Ministers and judges,
though many people who cannot claim
to be classed under any of these cate
gories display it on their servants hats
