try. The design met with instant and
hearty approval.
The medal is of bronze, and is sus-
pended from hidden bronze bar by a
ribbon Of rich blue silk on which 13 stars
are embroidered in white. The medal
proper includes a five-pointed star, a
bar containing the word ''Valor," and
an eagle with outspread wings. The
star is the same shape and form of the
star on the old medal of honor. The five
points are joined by a wreath of laurel.
and the whole is suspended from the
talons of the eagle by the bar pin bear
ing the word 'Valor." The ribbon is at
tached to the wing of the eagle by hid
den bar; it is exactly two inches wide.
and is covered by the sweep of the
eagles wings from tip to tip.
Appropriation was made for the
medal of honor last session of con-
gress when tn enabling bill for its re-
creation was passed, and the sum of
$4,000 was appropriated for the pur-
pose. All the old medals of honor are
called in, and this new one will be dis
tributed in the place. The reason as
signed for the designing of the new
medal OF honor was that the Grand Army
of the Republic had practically adopted
the design when the G. A. r. member
ship badge was created. While this Is
in a measure true, people who know
badges would never make a mistake:
but the Grand Army of the Republic Is
rather glad that the change has been
made. The old veterans are extremely
proud Of their exclusive badge, which
can never be worn by anybody but
those who wore the blue between 1861
and 1865. 1t cannot be handed down
from father to son, as so many veteran
badges can, and there is a severe pen
atty for anyone not authorized by obli-
cation in the Grand Army of the Re-
public wearing the badge
The medal of honor was first author
lied by congress by a joint resolution
recommendations from the war de-
partment, the commanding general of
the army and the adjutant general OF
the army. The first legislation on the
subject permitted the bestowal OF the
medal On officers and enlisted men Of
the army, scouts. civilian employees
etc, who displayed conspicuous gal.
lantry on the actual field Of battle dur
ing the course Of the battle.
Many applications were made during
that year, and in the following year
congress enacted a law which prohib.
tied the bestowal of the medal on any
but officers and enlisted men of The
army, under the same conditions as
prescribed before. During the civil

ODD TOYS IN JAPAN.
What the Boys and Girls Of the Lit

Play With.

The little Japanese girls play with a
doll which is exactly typical of the
women of the country. 1t has the
same angular almond eyes, the oval
face, and wears the gorgeous kimono.
Those who have seen Japanese dolls
in this country have probably been
struck by their uniform badness, but
to the little Japanese girl this is only
another accessory to the pleasure OF
her plaything; for the doll has any
number of wigs, which enable her to
change her coiffure as many times as
her owner desires. Each little wig has
it's own little stand. Readers of recent
books on things Japanese will remem-
Der that the children have an annual

What Living Organisms May Become

DR.. Dallinger has conducted some ex-
some of the septic micro-organisms, the
saprophytes, can be made to tolerate a
temperature which would be fatal to
their existence il experienced suddenly.
From the natural temperature of 60 de-
grees Fahrenheit he has succeeded in
making them bear a temperature of ISIS
degrees Fahrenheit by slowly increasing
the heat and turning it carefully back
again when they become faint and
threaten to die; thus, by getting them
accustomed TO ii by degrees. he forces
them TO live in new conditions, says the
New York Herald. In the course of
eight or nine months they increase in
size, are blotchy and greatly altered in
outward size and appearance, but
healthy. In the same manner salt
water medusae can be made to tolerate
fresh water; whereas if the changes
were suddenly made 1t would prove
fatal.
De Quincy educated his constitution
to bear 500 drops of laudunum a day,
and after II years use and eight years
of abuse of its powers he gradually edu-
Gated himself to do with II grains. On
one occasion he presented a wandering
Malay with piece of opium, which was
enough to kill three Dragons and their
horses. To his surprise the Malay
swallowed the whole piece at once, but
as no dead Malay was found in the
neighborhood within the next few DAYS
he concluded that the man was accus-
toned to its use.

had more than a fighting chance. Every
succeeding poll indicated that our cam
pafgn was gaining ground. but if the
election had been held at any time in
kSeptember or October. IL is my judg-
ment, as IL was Mr.. Mckinley's and Mr.
Hanna's. that Bryan would have beaten
US. We began, you know. by flooding
the country with tariff literature. That
was in August. Suddenly early in Sep
TENDER. We woke to the fact that no.
body cared two cents about the tariff
everybody was talking silver. The
whole Plan Of the campaign was chang
ed over night. Mr.. Hanna wired instruc-
tons to all the State committees to burn
up their tariff documents and at that
late day We had to make new start.
In 1900 We did not have nearly SO
hard a fight and we spent only about
half as much money. 1 doubt If any
officer at the national headquarters was
seriously worried about the result at
any time. The organization expenses
were large. but not nearly as large as
they had been four years earlier. In
stead of 500 clerks at Chicago there were
but $50. and instead of 1850 speakers We
had but 500

third as much as we spent in 1895 Mr.
Cortelyou did not change our methods
much He saw to il that no pledges
were given to obtain contributions. and
he supervised, generally, the expendi-
ture of the fund. Otherwise. he was not
concerned actively in the handling OF
money, and / doubt IL he knew much
about it. His one innovation consisted
in the purchase Of advertising space in

ed well.
What we will do if our funds are
cut in half or otherwise lessened through
a prohibition against contributions from
corporations, no one can tell. Proba-
bly, We will retrench all along the line
