AT CAMP DOUGLAS

By Thursday evening over 1000
guards were at Camp Douglas, where
everything was in readiness. Trains
came in one after another with regu-
larity just giving time to unload and
move out of the way. The troops upon
reaching Camp Douglas were formed
into columns of tours on the platform
and marched to the entrance of the
reservation, a distance of one-quarter
of a mile. Every precaution is to be
taken to keep the men in good health.
The old members of the guard will
be kept busy daily hereafter in prac-
ticing extended order drills, trench
digging and practice in sight setting.
Considerable training will be given in
guard duty. Inasmuch as each COM
pany will bring from 10 to 60 recruits,
special drill-masters will be appoint
ed in each company to instruct the
ROCKIES" in the manual of arms, in
close order drill, and in military
courtesy.
According to General Holway the
recruits will be given all practice in
rifle shooting possible as soon as they
have learned the rudiments of drill.
Should the order to move to the border
come before they have taken up rifle
practice, it will be given them when
they reach the border.
General HOlway has not heard of a
single instance where a member of
the guard had failed to respond to the
call. This record is remarkable.

Gothic Architecture.

The styles called Gothic, springing
from a common source in RomaneSque
architecture and developing through
out wCAern Europe ON differing lines,
are in general characterized by the
following features, although not all of
these will be found in all examples:
Ribbed vaulting, pointed arches, the
flying arch and pinnacled buttreSs,
clustered shafting, traceried windows
In all but the earliest phases, stained
glass, progressive tendency toward
loftiness, lightness of supports and
suppression of wall surfaces, a sys-
tenn of decoration of which one ele-
ment was the emphasis and adornment
Of structural features and another the
use Of sculpture and carving of human,
animal, vegetable and grotesque forms,
controlled by definite didactic pur-
pose and significance, and finally the
use of available materials according to
their nature upon principles in part of
structural logic and in part of decora-
tive effect.-A. d. f. Hamlin in Archi-
tectural Record.

National FIaus.

If the question were asked which
country's national flag had been long
est in use the answer would be either
the dragon banner of China or the
chrysanthemum flag of Japan. The
former has been used from a very
early period, and the latter is as old
as the present dynasty in Japan, which
is the most ancient In the world.
Among European national flags that
Of Denmark, a white St Georges cross
ON red ground, is the most ancient
having been in use since 1919. No
other flag has existed without change
for anything like the same period as
a national emblem, although there are
royal standards that are older.
The Spanish colors date only from
1885, and Great Britain's flag in its
present form was first flown after the
union with Ireland in 1901. The stars
and stripes of the United States was
first planned and ordered by Washing
ton of an upholsteFer in Philadelphia
and formally adopted on June IA, 1777.

Shaving on One Side.

The shaving on one side only Of the
heads and boards of prisoners of war
was obviously done to prevent any at
tempt at escape. But there have been
other motives for such half shaving,
which occurs at all sorts of points in
history. Sometimes the act has been
pure insult, as when Hanun, king of
the children of Ammon, shaved off
half of the boards of David's servants.
In these days the victims would have
mended matters by shaving the other
half. But Jewish reverence for the
beard forbade that. and David told the
men to ''tarry at Jericho until your
boards be grown" Demosthenes, when
he shut himself up for months in a
Subterranean chamber TO practice ora
tory, shaved half of his head to cut
off all temptation to go abroad.-LOn-
don Chronicle.

THE CIRCUS

The AL. G. Barnes circus was in
Wausau Wednesday, June 21st. Re-
ports had reached the city that the
circus had met with hard luck all
during the season thus far. Cold,
rainy weather had followed them. The
laborerS with the show had become
dissatisfied and at Marshfield they
went on a strike and fifty men quit
work, so the circus came here handi-
capped but managed to give its parade
at one o'clock and it was splendid
one, fully equal to the one when last
in Wausau. The weather was ideal
and thousands turned out to witness
the performance in the afternoon.
Later in the afternoon il clouded up
and looked very threatening and this
kept many from going over in the
evening. The performance was up to
the usual one given by Al. G. Barnes.

E.r-;nos Denots widovbood.

That India is land Of curious Gus
toms is confirmed by the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. A widow, instead of
wearing black Grape, dons pOnderous
earrings made of solid brass. Since
her widowhood is perpetual she is
obliged to wear them the rest of her
life. Each year another ring is added.
The constantly increasing weight of
metal stretches the lobe of the ear, TO
which it is attached. in an extraor-
binary manner. 1t is safe TO say that
no widow ever forgets the fact of
her widowhood when wearing such a
clumsy weight.

ONLY NERVOUS

The sufferer from Neurasthenia (lack
of nerve force) frequently places him
self in the "only nervous" class. Let
us see why he is nervous. That born
tired" feeling becomes chronic. Every
little exertion of mind or body is fol-
lowed by fatigue out of all proportion.
He has a great deal of headache and
frequently has backache. All manner
of vague sensations, such as heat, cold,
prickling, numbness, stiffness, soreness,
pain and pressure felt in limbs or any
part of the body. Eyes seem affected,
sounds and smells may become eXag-
gerated and any slight surprise pro-
duces a real nervous shock He has
nervous Indigestion, with variable appe-
tite and constipation, or diarrhea is COM
mon. There is palpitation of the heart
or pains around the heart annoy and
distress the poor sufferer, who becomes
from these accumulated troubles full
of anxiety and fear, These sensations
become symptoms of disease and in
time the symptoms become chronic and
if permitted to run their course, lead
the victim into maladies which break
down the nerve force so that he or she
is unfit for work or pleasure. For the
man or woman so afflicted to think there
is nothing the matter is serious in
justice and great injury.
Only Nervous? Diagnosis is diff
cult and that is why so many fail to
cure neurasthenics. Nervousness is
the costume and mask-the outward
appearance so imperfectly seen and
comprehended by the inexpert as re-
CARDS its true significance, that what
IS beneath-the underlying cause for the
troubles overlooked. If you are "only
nervous" you must awaken to the dan
gers of neglecting the nervousness and
you must not permit yourself to drift
