Whenever you see the letters ~. S."
branded on the left fore shoulder of an
animal. make up your mind at once that
that beast is. or was at one time, prop
erty Of our rich old Uncle Sam
Then. again. If you knew the key to the
system OF branding utilized by the Quar-
terlnaster's Department, u 8. Army. you
would in moment be able to tell the
organization of the army to which that
animal was assigned Immediately after
purchase by the government.
Last October. when the army Of Cuban
pacihcation was being embarked from
Newport News, Va, many of the army
horses and mules awaiting shipment be-
came Tnlxed with those of other Organi-
zations, but 1t only needed the knowledge
Of Sergt. Casey to decipher the hOof
brands and dispatch the ANIMALS to their
proper organizations. In other words,
these, brands serve as Identification
tags"
Branding public animals is not a matter
of choice. but is provided for by the army
regulations. which directs that.
"fnblic animals shall. upon the day

more rapidly rOtted as 1t gives OF sus-
tenance to the clinging parasites.
When an iron or steel ship sinks. es-
pecially a steamer with heavy boilers
and engines and closely packed
cargo, she Is apt to go down with great
rapidity. Her collision with the bot
tom may go far to break her up.
Whatever happens. she has the cor
rosive effects Of the salt water to
withstand, as well as all or most Of
the factors that affect the wooden
ship. Vegetation settles on her wood
EN- parts. and the barnacles and coral
insects themselves are the cause OF
change. Every scratch in
the paint is an opening for corrosion.
Presently the paint itself scales of.
and In a few years there will be MOTH
ing but a gigantic rust stain at the
bottom OF the sea to mark where the
vessel found her resting place.

HIT BY FREIGHT TRAIN.
But Receives No Severe Injuries Un-
less Possible Internal Injury.

An accident occurred last evening
just before o'clock as an extra freight
was pulling into the Gardiner station
in which Luke Manning narrowly es-
capped with his life.
Manning is a man IS years of age
ard an inmate of the National Home.
He was crossing the street in Farming
dale and was stepping down onto the
railroad track while the freight was
passing. The embankment at this point,
opposite North street, Is quite steep
and in stepping down his foot slipped
and he lost his balance. His head
struck against the freight cars and he
sustained a severe cut in the forehead
and laceration about the face. His right
hand was also badly injured and he
may possibly be suffering from inter-
nal injuries.
AS soon AS the freight arrived at the
depot man was sent at once for the
coroner, as it was thought the victim
had been killed. The coroner drove to
the scene and found the man quite a
way from death. The unfortunate man
was placed in a team and carried to
the office Of the Drs. Strout, where an
examination proved that he was not
seriously injured and his wounds
dressed.
The ambulance from the Home was
tclephoned for but as it had not ar
rived when the mans wounds had been
dressed, Cabman Cashier started with
him for the Home.
His escape was a remarkable one and
il he had fallen a few seconds before
ne did nothing could have prevented
him from being ground under the
wheels Of the locomotive.
