The Horrors of War.

This Is from the Letters From a
Surgeon Of the Civil War;" by DIR. John
G. Perry of the Twentieth Massachu-
sets regiment. From a field hospital
two miles above Hanover Junction he
wrote: II can scratch only few lines,
being up to my eyes in blood. Oh, the
fatigue and endless work we surgeons
have! About one night in three to
sleep in, and then we are so nervous
and played out that sleep is impossible.
1t seems to me l am quite callous to
death now and that l could see my
dearest friend die without much feel
ing. This condition tells a long story
which under other circumstances could
scarcely be imagined. During the last
three weeks / have seen probably no
less than 1000 deaths, and among them
those Of many dear friends. 1 have
witnessed hundreds Of men shot dead,
have walked and slept among them,
and surely feel 1t possible to die my
self as calmly as any. But enough Of
this. The fight is now fearful. and am
balances are coming in with great ra-
pidity. each bearing its suffering load"

Concerning Sleeves.

Sleeves in the simple gowns are rare
" conspicuous in design. Medium in
size, they are much trimmed or rather
severe in finish. with the close fitted
unlined cuff. They are cut below the
elbow, but are not long, and in the
newest the dropping style is TO be no
ticed, and, although it is generally un.
becoming, for the moment it is fash.

With all smart afternoon reception
frocks short sleeves still continue popu.
lar. They are fuller on the shoulder
and have a general appearance Of frou-
frou. 1t is a chilly fashion for winter
wear, but is undeniably Ia mode.

Wheat Prices and Pork.

Numerous experiments conducted at
agricultural colleges in the west have
demonstrated beyond question that
whenever the price Of wheat declines
below GO cents a bushel there is more
profit in feeding it to hogs when the
market for pork is normal than in SELL
ing it as wheat. By some authorities
the figure is placed much higher, some
experiments in this state a few years
ago proving that with hogs selling
around 6 cents n pound wheat was
worth for fattening purposes nearly
90 cents a bushel, figure much above
the average for the last dozen years.
That the advantage of feeding cereals
to live stock and then marketing the
stock is becoming more fully realized
by the farmers of the entire country IS
shown by the official figures on the ex-
ports Of meat and dairy products for
last year.-Portland Oregonian-

CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Ant EeIIpsed.

One OF the classic stories cited as an
Illustration of the intelligence Of ants
is that Of the ingenious insects which
climbed down a string to get at the
sweets which Franklin had suspended
In midair to be out OF harms way.
II that be the highest mark Of insectile
intelligence, then the common wood
louise, that brown gray beetle which
curls itself into a ball, must be exalted
to a prominent place. A certain firm Of
nurserymen finds the wood lice its
greatest enemy. So serious are their
depTedations among the maidenhair
ferns that it has been necessary to
raise all the staging Of the houses and
support the woodwork upon jars which
rest In bowls OF water. This made 1t
impossible for the beetles to creep up
to their food, for they will not swim.
The beetles have not been beaten.
They have been some time working out
a new plan OF campaign, but 1t has
been done at last. They do not any
longer attempt to climb up the stag
ing. They leave that alone. Instead
they climb up the glass roof of the
houses, then, curling up, drop down
on the plants. Their plan is more dar-
ing than that Of the historic ants. The
ants had a string down which to climb;
the wood lice have to dive.-St James
Gazette

Two Tremendous Totals.

Two facts Of significance stand out
in the annual report Of Secretary Met
calf. The exports from the United
States during the past fiscal year
amounted to $1,T43, S64.JOO. That fig
ure, surprising by $225,OOO,OOO the
enormous total for the previous year,
establishes a new high record. The
other fact Of Importance is that during
the year LISTS aliens applied for
admission into this country. That num-
Der, greater by 152, 2S6 than the count
for 1905, breaks all previous statistics
Of immigration. The business which
the United States is now doing in the
expectation Of products and in the i'm
portation Of people has assumed CO.
lossal proportions.-Hartford Comm

Five Acres a Competency.

Farming lands are advancing in val
ne by leaps and bounds. Improved
methods Of cultivation and more ac-
cessible markets make five acres In
many instances a more valuable pos
session than 100 acres a generation or
two ago. The department Of agricul-
ture declares five acres ample for the
support Of a family. How foolish,
then, to continue giving away the
small remnant Of the nations cultiva-
bic lands in 160 acre tracts, especially
since under the Communication clause Of
the homestead act the gift usually
goes to some great land grabber in
stead Of going, as intended. to a home
builder.-MaxwelPs Talisman.

cores, with a double box plat at the

BACK and forth the tide Of third
term talk Gibbs and flows. The Presi.
dent himself has said nothing on the
subject for some months, and the
chances are that he will not again let
himself be drawn into the discussion
till toward the meeting Of the next
national Republican convention
Then he is likely to throw some much
needed light on his position, and 1t pro.
badly take the form Of backing some
one man, probably Taft, for the
nomination. Everyone knows that
the stock market furry In New York
was the elimination OF a threat on the
part OF the railroad managers TO knock
the bottom out Of the Presidents
popularity by putting In a dam to the
wave Of prosperity the country IS
enjoying. EVERYBODY also knows now
that the President told the high tlnan.
ciers In effect to crack their whip and
see what they can do. They let the
panic go as far as they dared and
shook down some values without
harming the actual properties. The
Hurry is over now and the result has
been TO leave the Pres ident stronger
with the public than he was before
and the railroads are sending Presi.
dent Mellen to Washington to talk
the matter over. The eyes OF the
country are more than ever focused
on railroad and other cor porate con.
troll. The President has mapped out
a definite line Of policy, and what he
wants now is to see that policy carried
out. He will not be the next nominee
for the presidency, but he probably
Will name the man.
