posed badge is a hexagon figure five
eighths of an inch in diameter and
made of cannon bronze. 1t is so small
that it will not interfere with any other

been introduced into Congress to pro-
vide for the manufacture and distribu-
ton of 100000 badges, and it is now
before the Military Committee of the
House of Representatives, The plan

VETERANS IN THE CITY.

Comrade C. Stratton. CO. II, 9Th
Iowa Cav, few years ago decided to
evacuate his icy home in Hardin Coun-
ty, Iowa, and seek livelihood in a less
rigorous climate. Fitzgerald, Ga. was
then IAN infant city, in its second
year, and he went thither, hopefully.
He was poor when he left the old home,
and still poorer when he started to rus
tie for a living for himself and support
for his family in the new home. Very
satisfactory he found his remuneration,
for in a very short string of years he
found that he had over $4,000 more
than he began with at Fitzgerald. Hav-
ing so much enjoyed the genial climate
of Georgia and the easy profits of gar
dening there, he resolved to try the
yet more genial climate of Florida.
and the ever eagerly responsive soil
there has again justified his judgment.
He settled at st. Petersburg, and de-
voted himself to gardening, and has
the satisfaction of living well, and by
moderate work finds his accumulated
balance enlarged at the close of each
market season. He Is now on visit
to his old home in Iowa. and on his
way pleased The National Tribune by
calling at the editorial offices. "a WELL
fixed man." he goes back to visit the
home he left poor man.
Comrade John Y. Detwiler, Co. c,
being in the city attending the Fish
Commissioners Congress, visited The
National Tribune, of course. He re-
sides at Smyrna, Fla, and is an honor
ary member of the Congress, having
formerly been Fish Commissioner of
Florida. He has planted many millions
of gamy food fishes in the lakes and
streams of that State, and is an enthu-
siastic expert in fish culture, with a
liking for hiving bees and cultivating
honey in the comb while he is resting.
He asserts that the United States of
America is Gods favorite portion of the
earth and Florida the pleasantest part
of the United States for nlan-accom-
panied by his family, his fishes and his
honey bees. He tried to add that
Smyrna is the best part of Florida, but
a comrade from Sarasota, who was
present, shut him off there to contend
that Manistee County is better than Vo-
lusia, and that the gulf coast is finer
country than the east coast, which he
admitted is better than any of the rest
of the country. The matter was still
undecided between them when they
went forth-to return to Florida, each
to his favorite coast.
Comrade w. o. Chapman. of Sala-
manca, N. Y, called at The National
Tribune office last week as a crowning
to his visit to the Capital He still
looks youthful, Notwithstanding three
years of his boyhood in fighting rebels
in arms, followed by five years of his
youth fighting Indians and campaign
ing in the mountains and on the plains
of Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
He was born in Massachusetts Dec. :,
1S48; enlisted July. 1862; served three
years in Co. c, I'd Mass. Cav; enlisted
then in the Regular Army, and served
five years in Troop B, Sd U. S. Cav. In
the volunteer service he was with his
command in all of its engagements, and
in the Regular Army--where he was
promoted to Sergeant-he was in IS
fights with the savages.

The Way Out.

When Pat decided to set up as a cabby he bought an old cavalry horse and reached home feeling proud. be- dad, But then he found he couldn't make it budge. so he took it back to the barracks and told the officer that it was dead beat and wouldn't go.
 Won't he?" said the officer. And. mounting him. he cried. Charge. Away sped the horse around the yard and suddenly stopped when the officer cried Halt"
 Well pleased, Pat took the horse home a second time.
 On the afternoon following he had a parry to drive to the station. As soon as all were seated he shouted, "Cha-a-argew
 The steed rushed off at breakneck speed. Tearing along at forty miles an hour. it soon reached the station. But a wild look came into the Hiber- nian drivers eyes.

Clerical Clothes In New York.

To-day l encountered whim of New York tailors that astonished me-" said western clergyman. "l ordered suit of clothes from q man who re- fused to work for me.
 What's the reason you folks are passing me along to another tailor?" l asked. Do I look hard to fit? Are you afraid you won't get your money?
 'The tailor explained that neither of my guesses was correct. He declined 10 make my clothes simply because am a clergyman and require clerical cut. He let me down easily by stat ing further that he never undertook to make ecclesiastical garments. that very few of the lay talors in New York do undertake them They do not have enough of that kind of work to keep them constantly informed on the requirements of the different re- ligious orders. A mistake would be embarrassing to the clergy men and to the tailor. so they hand all such GUS toners over to tailors who make speciality of such work."-New York Sun.

LoWEsToFT CHINA.
Story of . Factory Whose Products
 Are Now Highly Prixed.

At the eud of the North parade. Lowestoft. is the Warren House. a place of great interest to connoisseurs of china. It was here, in the eight. ecnth century, that a discovery of fine clay was made which eventually led to Lowestoft manufacturing the china which Is now so rare that 1t Is almost priceless.
 Initial experiments made by Hewlin Luson. Esq. of Gunton Park. near Lowestoft. with some fine clay discov- cred accidentally on his estate result ed in complete success and ultimately led to the opening of factory at Lowestoft in 1T56 for the manufacture of fine earthenware and porcelain soft paste."
 In 1TI5 a finely glazed and decorated hard paste" was introduced. the ef- ticiency and beauty of which beto- kened q brilliant success for the pro- prietors. Contemporary evidence in diSputably shows that from ITO to 1S0o the Lowestoft works were at the zenith of their fame. Owing. however. to the enormous expenses and difficult ty incurred in procuring china clay from Cornwall and elsewhere (after the original clay was exhausted) and the rapidly increasing competition of other makers its prosperity waned. the collapse came. and the works were closed in iSo3.-London Globe.

WHEN FIRE BREAKS OUT.
Keep Cool and Remember and Follow
 These instructions.

In case of fire. if the burning articles are at once splashed and sprayed with solution of salt and nitrate of ammonia an mcomhustihle coating is formed. This Is prepara- ton which can be made al home at a trlfiiGg cost and should be kept on hand Dissolve twenty pounds of con- mon salt and ten pounds of nitrate of ansmnnia in seven gallons of water. Pour this into quart bottles of thin glass and Ire :sYsnades are at hand ready for use. These bottles must be tightly corked and sealed to prevent evaporation. and in case of fire they must be thrown near the flames, so as 10 break and iberate the gas con- taiped. Al least two dozen of these bottles should be ready for an emer- gency.
 In this connection 1t is well to re- member that water on burning oil scat terS the flames. but that four will ex- t.nguish it. Salt thrown upon a fire if the chimney is burning will help to Geaden the blaze If a fire once gets under headway and prompt exit be- comes q necessity. silk handkerchief dipped in water and wrapped about the mouth and nostrils will prevent sQTocat;on from smoke: failing this. a piece of wet flannel will answer.
 Should smoke fill the room, recall your physics-remember that smoke goes first to the top of the room and last 10 the floor. Wrap blanket or woo.en garment about you. with the wet cloth over your face. drop on your hands and knees and crawl to the win dow. Bear in mind that there is no more danger in getting down from q three story window than from the first floor if you keep a firm hold of the rope or ladder. Do not slide. but go hand over hand.-New York Tribune.
