Uncomfortable sheep,s Tails.

A species OF sheep common in Syria
Is so encountered by the weight OF its
tail that the shepherds fix a piece of
thin board to the under part, where
IL is not coveted with thick wool, to pre-
vent 1t from being torn by the bushes,
etc. Some have small wheels affixed to
facilitate the dragging of these boards
after them. The tail Of common sheep
OF this sort usually weighs 15 pounds OF
upward, while that of a large species
after being well fattened will weigh 80
pounds.-N. Y. Tribune.

Heroic Devotion to Duty,

The story of the Lewiston wreck of
last month is adorned with many a
touching incident, but the story of
mail clerk Merriman's devotion to
duty is worth recording in any book
of heroic deeds. Drawn from the
tangled mass of wreclsage in a condi-
ton of little short of utter uncon-
seriousness, his lips were seen to move
in attempts to make clear something
which he lacked the strength to speak.
When one of his rescuers finally
caught the sound, he heard these
words: Telephone to Lewiston post

Army Nurse for Three Years.

Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, whose ex-
Derience as an army nurse is one OF
the most interesting, is secretary OF
the Massachusetts, State association
She was born in Rochester, N. Y.
Her family were Roman Catholics,
and being religiously inclined, she
desired to become sister of charity.
Her wishes met with great opposi-
ton from her father, but finally, in
1860 she was allowed to enter an Or
phan asylum of the order as an as
pirant.
After three months probation she
was sent to the mother house at
Emmitsburg, Md, where she was six
months under instruction. AS SooH
as she was qualified she was given
the habit of the order and was sent
to the orphan asylum at Albany y to-
teach. This was during the autumn
of 1861.
The war having broken out, Mrs
Hamilton who, of course, was not
then married, began to regret that
she was unable to go as nurse. But
in the early spring of 1862, an order
came from the mother house for
three sisters and herself to go to the
Satterlee U. s. military hospital,
West Philadelphia. ~
Arriving there, she found few
other sisters, among them being a
niece of Gen. Beauregard who had
connected herself with the sisters
greatly against the wishes Of her fam
lily, they being much opposed to her
acting as nurse to northern men.
She herself evidently did not relish
her task, for after eight weeks of
such service she was missed, and it
was not known what became of her.
Dr. l. l. Hayes, the Arctic explorer,
was the surgeon in charge Of the
5atterlee hospital. This hospital,
which was built to accommodate
5000 patients, was opened May 1,
1900
