Secretary Dickinson, Assistant Secretary
Oliver. Gen. Bliss, acting chief Of staff;
Gen. J. F. Bell and many officers of the
Army and Marine Corps spent several
hours yesterday afternoon at the Wash
ington barracks reservation in witnessing
a demonstration OF the utility Of the new
infantry equipment recommended by the
special army board which has been in
vestigating the subject for several months
past at the Rock Island arsenal. Col.
II. A. Greene, 10th Infantry, president
of the board, had direct charge of the
demonstration.
The test was as practical as it could
be under the circumstances and proved
highly interesting TO the spectators, both
military and civilian. A full company of
engineers, los men and three non-com-
nlissioned officers, was provided with the
new equipment and put through regular
military exercises. They were equipped
with the new shelter tents and went
through the process Of breaking camp
and loading one wagon with the surplus
kits, cooking utensils, extra ratiOnS, etc.

New Wall Papers
of the Fall Season

The new wall papers this season equal
in fascination the display of fabrics heaped
upon the counters to be fashioned into
wearing apparel. In many cases 1t is diff
cult at first glance to distinguish between
the papers and the pretty printed cottons
and silks, so closely do they follow the
designs and colorings usually seen in
woven materials only.
Stripes seem to lead, but the word does
not convey any idea of the beauty and
variety Of this seemingly simple design.
One of the newest papers in stripes Is
exceedingly quaint in effect. The back
ground is a pale tan, with broad
broken stripe in darker tones printed
three or four inches apart. and on this
stripe. appear oval medalliOns. each deco

tiny flowers in all their natural colorings
Another very, dainty design is stripe pc

by bowknots Of ribbon. arranged on an
ivory white background.
Still another stripe is n soft but deep

is first printed in crossbar effect with
threads OF brown. This is most restfui-
looking paper and, though intended for a
bedroom, is appropriate for the living
room or the library.

Cleansing the Fingers.

The manner of wiping the fingers habit
ually has much to do with the shape Of
the nails, even of elders, and more SO
with those Of children. 1t Is q mistake to
rub with the towel down from the back
of the hand to the finger tip, for this
draws the cuticle over the nail. 1t should
be constantly trained back instead, and
this is largely helped by wiping from the
very tip down the nail to the cuticle,, and
then on down the finger to the hand. This
may seem very trifiing, but it's effect is
very important and it is a. simple habit
to cultivate.
Whatever will prevent the cuticie from
adhering closely to the nails at the base
will improve the shape and this is why a
little gre5o .1albbed on nightly will work
wonders N a time. If the space be-
tween the .cuticle and the nail is filed

ANNIVERSARY OF MANASSAS
Participant Tells How Famous Engage
Is Fresh Ever in Memory

Forty-nine years ago yesterday the pre-
lude to the first battle of Manassas was
started In that historic engagement was
the Fifth Alabama regiment to which
belonged the Warrior Guards of Tusca-
loosa
In that company which was command
ed by Colonel Rhodes, were several vet
Grams who now reside in this city. In re-
calling this fact yesterday Uncle" Bob
McCullum said the first federal soldiers
he ever saw was on this day forty-nine
years ago.
1--WE were camping about II miles from
where the first battle of Manassas was
fought" said Uncle Bob
when two of our men came into camp
with a 'yank' they had captured. Along
with the federal soldier was a large dog
which we at once christened Yank' This
dog was with us all during the war and
later died In Tuscaloosa.
General Scott of the federal army was
marching down upon us from Washing
ton and we were supposed easy meat
for the fire-eating northern general. he
supplied himself with handcuffs and iron
chains with which to drag us back to the
national capital, but we proved to be
harder to catch that he believed. We
went into that engagement as the first
one of the war and the experiences
deceived there have remained with me
the remainder of Ny days. | remember
that fight as IL 1t was yesterday and
cannot efface those scenes from my mind
Our captain from his bravery In that
fight was promoted and was afterwards
made colonel. He has a son residing In
Birmingham.

Johns, the Board of Revenue having
favorably considered the petition OF a
committee representing that district of
the county The delegation waited upon
the board yesterday and arguments
were advanced as to the necessity OF
a new macadam road to take the place
of the old dirt thoroughfare.
No time will be lost in grading the
road now connecting the two points and
it will be macadamized and put in first
class shape as soon as possible.
Another committee which visited the
offices of the board yesterday was one
representing Boyles and Ketona. IT
was asked by the committee that the
sanitary trunk sewer be extended from
it's present limit at East Birmingham
to Boyles and thence to Ketona, or
that a branch be provided.
The matter has been referred by the
board to County Sanitary Engineer
Lem Salter who will consider the I'D =
visibility of the extension and report
back to the board.
The back tax bearings were con-
tinued by the board yesterday and the
usual daily number Of so cases was
disposed Of There is a total of some
1000 cases to be settled and 1t is
