Lee Issues General Order.

New Orleans, April 27-The following general order was issued tonight by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, commanding the United Confederate Veterans:
 "First-In this, the Queen City of the south, in which the United Confederate Veterans organization had its birth, city of Confederate monuments, and associa- tions; where died our only president and where, for more than a year. Confederate sentinels guarded his precious remains, a city of warm hearted Confederate women, and of men full of Confederate ideals, our sixteenth annual reunion has just fin- ished its session. To many 1t may be a reunion where for the last time the touch of the elbow has again been taken up, and where the hallowed memories of the war have again been recalled. To each one will come the feeling that while we allow no one in this great country to ex- cell us In our devotion to the principles of free government, we still hold as price less heritage the valor, the endurance and the constancy of the Confederate soldier during the war between the states and his record as citizen fighting for Anglo Saxon civilization during the days of re- construction
 "A feeling that it Is possible that never again will so many of the survivors of our unconQuerable armies be permitted to greet each other. cause these old men to look on this meeting with so much tenderness. The patriotic section of the people of this city has done all that was possible to make this gathering memor- able, and long will its sweet savour lin- ger in the nostrils of our glorious broth erhood

Marines Close the Parade.

The marines from the United States cruiser Columbia and the National Guard of Louisiana closed the parade. The marines especially were wildly ap- plauded, their excellent marching and showy white uniforms catching the fancy of the crowd. At Lee circle, where the parade turned to retrace its steps to- wards Canal street, an enormous Con federate flag was formed by grouping hundreds of school children. The young sters and the veterans mutually eheered themselves hoarse as the old soldiers passed by. At Canal and Camp streets General Lee and his staff wheeled out of the column and it passed in review the greatest enthusiasm being shown at this point, the crowds keeping up continu- ous roar of cheers. The parade then counter-marched upon Canal street. part of it marching north, while the latter part of 1t was marching south. The spec tacle at this point was beautiful and n- spring. All in all it was one of the best parades New Orleans has ever seen, and no place in the country has witnessed q greater number of sucn events. About 5000 men were in line and the arrange ments were perfect. there being no de- lays and extensive halts.

Praise for Managers.

Second-The general commanding does not wish to institute comparisons by sin gling out the services of any particular individual for special commendation, but he would be falling short of his duty did he not name E. B. Kruttschnitt, the able and faithful president of the local reunion executive committee, whose wise counsel. unflagging zeal and indomtable persever- ance did so much to assure success, and whose untimely death was such a blow to the committee and such a loss to the city and state. To have overcome all difficulties, to have surmounted all ob- stacles. and to have been able to com fortaby house and abundantly feed the thousands committed ito his care, reflects the highest credit on the abilities of Major James s. Gaines. and it would be diff cult to over praise him.

Tennessee Contingent AppIauded.

Of the veterans. the Tennessee contin- gent evoked perhaps the most applause, for the reason that several camps car ried muskets and wore uniforms of faded Confederate gray. Several battle flags that had seen service in the Civil war were carried in the parade, and all of them were objects of pride and regard by the crowd. Among the flags were those of the Fourteenth Louisiana. Thir- ty-third Tennessee. Fifty-hrst Tennessee and Fortieth Alabama

A Corner Room

A Corner Room
at the southwest of the house usually Is
the best for an invalid. here sunshine
is most abundant. If the patient Is easily
disturbed by the routine noises of the
household 1t may be well to choose a room
at the top of the house. but II Ii Is
possible to keep the house quiet 1t is best
not to have the patient higher than the
second floor on account of the difficulty OF
carrying the numerous articles needed in
the sickroom up and down many flights OF
stairs. II is a great mistake to keep the
sick room darkened unless the brain or eyes
are affected, for sunshine is quite as nee
essary medicine in the cure of, almost
all diseases. II every one would remember
that sunshine and fresh air are next in i'm
portance to wholesome food In keeping peo-
pie well and strong and absolutely
necessary to help sick persons get well
there would be much less serious sickness
and few headaches.
II the patient is likely to be Ill for a long
tine or Is suffering from contagious disease
1t Is best to take out Of the room all unnec-
essary furniture, carpets, hangfngs and the
like. Not only is 1T made easier for the
nurse to take proper care of the room thus
arranged, but II Is far better for the pa
tent If there Is any brain trouble 1t is
out of the room Every sick room should
have bed sofa. easy chair, two tables
and such other furniture as may be con-
venient and necessary.
A single bed about thirty-two inches high
when made up Is best, because the nurse
can reach the patient from all sides and
need not bend over as much as Is necessary
In working over a low bed. All unnecessary
wear and tear should be avoided both for
the nurse and the members of the family,
as they can do far more for the patient s
comfort than when worn out by unneces-
sary exertion.
A low bed can be raised by putting blocks
of wood under the casters or by putting
on extra bedspring an extra mat
tress from some other bed. If low bed
must be used have cushion on the floor
and kneel on 1t instead of standing and
bending.
Under no circumstances should a room
ever seem close and stuffy to person COM
ing into 1T. Ii II does steps should at once
be taken to air 1t thoroughly, for there Is
nothing worse for patient and no greater
reproach 10 nurse than to have the room
continuously close.

The Tiniest Back Yard

The Tiniest Back Yard
has space for at least a grapevine. a dwarf
fruit tree and strawberry barrel. Train
the vine over light treIlis shading the
back door. Dig out a hole for it at least
three feet square and board the hole all
round with enough lumber painted with
coal tar This will last long time and
keep the vine roots from damaging drains
or cellar walls If every autumn, when the
sap il well down, the roots are cut along
the broad line with an ak or sharp-edged
spade. Such root pruning, properly done,
is an aid TO health and fruItfulness.
In the corner farthest from the vine set
the tree. The strawberry barrel needs all
the light and sunshine possible. Set it in
the middle of the yard. 1t must be stout
and well hooped, otherwise it Is not worth
while.
Begin by taking out one head then bore
the sides full OF two-inch holes and the bot
tom full OF half-nch holes. Bury it half
way, fill WITH rich earth. set some sort
of drain in the middle, and let the earth
slope toward the drain. Plant a strong
vine in every hole and row all around
the top.
A barrel prepared in May or June and
we'll tended especially if planted with pot
grown vines, ought to bear next season.
The main trouble is to keep it well watered.
In warm weather water it twice day
before sunrise and late in the afternoon.
Once week give a copious watering of
liquid manure. Pick out all weeds and
enthusiastically tighten the earth with a
garden trowel Protect through the winter
with evergreen boughs or corn stalks. In
spring, as soon as the buds swell, water

a fortnight of rpening give liquid manure
