An army has always two parts.
One part is the actual fighters, who
work, suffer and die and at the end
receive all the glory. The other part
is those who provide for the fighters.
They also work and suffer and die,
but at the end they are ignored and
afterward forgotten.
There are naturally very few wom-
en- who have achieved glory in the
lighting part Of an army, though the
amazons are well known and Semira-
| mis-, Zenobia and Jeanne dare were
commanders of armies. In former
times, however, many woman con-
cealed her sex and took her place in
the ranks as a man, though, from the
nature of the case, not many of their
! names are known. Among those who
enlisted in our revolutionary army
were Deborah Sampson, Elizabeth
Canning and Molly Macauley, and the
sast-named won the grade OF sergeant
before being discovered. 1t has been
estimated that during our civil war no
less than 400 women contrived by
some means or other to enlist as sol.
diers. The most recent. instance OF
lighting women was in the Transvaal
war when many burgher's wife han
died a weapon at his side and many
were taken prisoners, some of them
being dressed as men. 1t is quite
common for the royal women of Flu
l
sions, generally as colonies, and al
though not expected to take command
in time of actual war, they do wear
their uniforms and ride with their
troops on occasions of ceremony:
But, after all, the true story OF
women in armies relates to their par,
in providing and caring for the fight
ers. The present elaborate organiza
ton of armies is of comparatively re
cent growth, and originally the
greater part of the cooking and of the
nursing of soldiers was done by thei,
hardy female relatives, who were a:
well able as themselves to bear thu
fatigues of the campaign. It is al
ways easier to procure a new soldier
than 1t is to cure one who is sick OF
wounded, and the humane medica
corps, as one of the. departments 8

century. During the middle ages tn,

crowding the Pig.-Crowding too
many pigs together has much the
same effect as crowding the chickens
in too small space. Prof. Haywood
of the Pennsylvania station says that
half if not more of the outbreaks. OF
disease are due to the overcrowding Of
young shoats. The. younger and
weaker ones become so unresistant
that finally {. they succumb to. the
germs of cholera or swine plague
which are. always present even il

Pig Phi1osophy.-1t does not follow
that because one litter of pigs will
bring so much money, 20 filters will
bring 20 times that sum-. For the
beginner in, hog raising three or four
sows may be enough to start with.
Try to get good ones, however, and
the boar should be as fine as you can
afford to buy. For brood sows during
the CESSATION period equal parts by
measure of corn and oats, ground fine,
and an equal measure of good mid
dlings will give good results. Alfalfa
is also excellent when one has access
to it. For finishing hogs a ration com.
posed of so per cent. corn and 20
tankage is good. Never feed brood
sows. heavily on corn.

Mrs. Reginald had gained her point
without letting him know it.
Another five minutes later she went
out heavily yelled. She went far away
from the house, and did not stop till
she reached the general post office.
ANY other place in London was too
small for the telegram she had to
send
''You are quite wrong There shall
be no one last look in my history. I
have insisted upon my husband being
home this evening. Take this to mean
definitely you must never dare COM
nunicate with me again.
There was no signature. The send
er's features were hidden, and not the
slightest clue was left whereby the
origin of the message might be traced.
When she got home the first thing
she did was to take a letter out of
her pocket, put it on the fire and
watch it become ashes This was how
she would have treated such a docu-
zaent before going out, but the ad-
dress of the writer was so important
a thing that she dared not trust to
memory in sending the wire She
feared even now that some mistake
would prevent the message from
reaching it's destination. OF course
she read it once again before burning

APPLE BORER

This is one of the most common of
the wood-borers of the apple tree. The
eggs are laid on the bark in early
summer, and the larvae or borers
reach maturity in from one to three
years. The borers are whitish grubs,
living just beneath the bark of the ap-
pie, and other trees, and are recog-
nized by the large fat head. The only

if applied in late winter or. early

Ev cry nationality under the sun is rep resented by the colors on the wall and the effect upon person when frs entering the room is somewhat daH- zling. ''Those flags" said the artist represent a career of crime which has extended over the entire world. In fact, I am an international thief.

Instinct In Plants,

Climbing plants have two opposing methods of describing spiral growth The plants that turn to the right ill the northern hemisphere reverse this trend in the southern hemisphere and therefore, for the sake of consistency it may be preferable to describe the two kinds of spiral tendency as re- spectively "clockWise" and "countei clockwise," which latter can be short, ened to "counterwise. The honey. suckle and the hop turn "clockwse, " while the convolvulus and the scarlet runner bean twine "counterwise." Ex, periments made by growing scarlet run, ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis cover whether the deviation of the twist was innate or merely from the direction of the light, disclosed the fact that the plant possesses an inclinn ton resembling the instinct of animals, of proceeding in given direction, and resents any attempt to force it other wise
