Buttons In The Collection.

It is related by an exchange that in
a certain parish, the name Of which
is prudently withheld, the wife of
a clergyman was mending clothes
when a neighbor dropped in for a
social chat
The visitors attention was attra +
ed to large basket, half-filled with
buttons, carelessly lingering them

she suddenly remarked:

she suddenly Ycmarked:
"Why, here are two buttons ex-
actly the same as those my husband
had on his last winter suit"
Indeed" said the clergyman's wife,
"that's curious! All these buttons
were found in the collection bas-
ket. and I have saved them, think
ing / might put them to use"
After this the conversation lam
guished, and very soon the visitor
took her departure. But the story
got abroad, and no more buttons
were found in the basket.

the field of sanitary science and de
tetics they have demonstrated, what
has never been done before, tkat pre-
ventabIe diseases are preventable.
They have preserved their armies
for the legitimate purposes for which
armies are enlisted; the killing OF
conquering of an open enemy in the
field, instead Of having four-hfths OF
it's mortality victims to THE silent Toe
1T is against this dreadful scourge
this needless sacrifice, that the jap
anese have made their hardest fight
and won their most signal victories
victories that will rebound more to
their credit than even the expulsion
! of the Muscovite aggressor.
"A dispatch received from London
on September FL from the Tokyo cor
respondent of the London Standard,
giving the statistics of the war to
that date, reports:
Killed, 46,18o; died of wounds,
1oo7o; died from sickness, $1,000
This percentage of death to sickness
was less than one-fourth of the total
dead, which is a record not paralleled
! in the annals of war.
"When contemplating these marve-
lous figures, with what a ghastly and
melancholy smile the hero of Manila
must recall his action in censorlng the
cablegram of the chief surgeon who
had requested 50 additional medical
officers and 200 more nurses when
the hospital wards were overcroWded,
because such a dispatch would prove
the falsity of his claim that he had
the situation we'll in hand Months
afterwards the surgeons and nurses
were provided, but not until the hor-
rible condition was intensified, and
taps had sounded the requiem for
many a poor boy who had joined the
great majority.
| Unloading At Tampa.
| ."Perhaps the same delight may So
lace the contemplative commander IN
the Cuban campaign, when he re-
calls his famous order at Tampa, di-
recting the unloading of ship filled
with medical and hospital supplies
for Santiago, and the substitution OF
load of mules instead.
"Or of another major general dur
ing that war, who on being waited
upon by certain medical officers with
protest against the use OF certain
water said, in response to their COM
plant: when I want your advice,
will send for you; until do, you can
attend to your own business
"Or even if the then secretary OF
war, who, inspecting the camps at
Montauk Point with the president of
the United States, said looking at
a glass of water furnished the troops
OF this infected camp, and which
certain medical men had pronounced
to contain germs of disease: why, 1t
looks alright TO me-
"Until the line and staff officers OF
the American army are taught the
necessity of sanitation and the medl-
cal officer is given rank and authority
to enforce it, Our medical department
must remain a humiliating failure.
Its continuance under present condl-
tons is no less than an evidence OF
national imbecilty."

THE BEE IN THE ORCHARD
Value of the Busy Worker as Pol len Distributor Cannot Be
 Overestimated.

The value of the bee in the orchard is well understood and appreciated by the intelligent fruit man; the neces- sity of the cross-pollenation of fruit is almost universally acknowledged and the bee is the most thorough and reliable instrument for it's accomplish ment. Amateur fruit growers often wonder why their trees do not bear as well as those of fruit growers regular ly engaged in the business and apply fertilizers and resort to other expedi- ents, when the fact is, all that is need ed is pollen from other trees. The trees bloom well, but the fruit does not set for the want of the pollen which the bee gathers on it's feet and body and distributes on the blooms as it sucks the honey therefrom. A few hives of bees in an orchard will large ly Increase the yield of fruit, and no farmer should be without them, says the Epitomist While other insects might help toward pollenation, bees are by far the surest and best for the business, and in their absence the hope or good fruit crop rests upon slim foundation.

 The results outlined were reached after protracted session which was ing. Friends of Vice President Hyde were disposed to view the outcome as a victory for their side but in other quarters the result was regarded as q general compromise in which the con tending factions met halfway.
 That Mir. Hyde had a majority of the directors with him. however. was nev- CT in doubt His election to the chair manship of the executive and finance committees was regarded as significant :, in this connection. .., .... .r .s~

Premature Burial Rare.

Although premature burial is ex- tremely rare, except perhaps on the battlefield, the possibility of such an occurrence cannot be denied.
