SHE WAS A FIGHTER.
Mother Ross, the Trooper, Was Buried
With Military Honors.

Mother Ross, the Trooper, Was Buried
With Military Honors.
For member of the so called weaker
sex to be laid to rest with military
honors is an event of rare occurrence
and no less distinction.
To earn such q tribute argues serv-
ices of the highest merit, and very few
women have had the opportunity of
qualifying for such honors, still fewer
having achieved them.
OF these few, perhaps the most ia
nous was Mother Ross. Her life was
a military romance. In the year 1893
she Joined the army as a man, and
it was not until she had served for
thirteen years that her real sex was
discovered.
As trooper in the Scots Greys she
took part in the battle of Families and
was hit by almost the last shot fired by
the French. Then 1t transpired that
she was a woman. Later she married
a soldier and In the capacity of regi-
mental cook accompanied him on ac-
tive service.
So imbued was she with the fighting
spirit that when any scrap" was go
ing on she would abandon her sauce
pans and fire her musket with the best
of her comrades in arms. By Queen
Anne she was granted pension of a
shilling a day on her retirement.
Her death took place in 1879, and she
was laid to rest in the burial ground

conducted with full military honors
earned by right valiant service on

CLOTHES IN SARDINIA.
Natives Look as Though Dressed For
Medieval Pageant.

Natives Look as Though Dressed For .
Medieval Pageant.
Large white sleeves beneath the
slashef sleeves of his jacket, a full,
short, bright colored skirt and close
fitting white trousers tucked into high
boots. or leggings constitute the typical
attire Of the Sandman. One would
think that a native thus bedight had
stepped from his place in a pageant
of the middle ages instead of being
garbed In the customary costume for
feast days.
In some districts of the island the
men wear a pointed cap resembling q
Phrygian bonnet, long and narrow
like a stocking, reaching almost to the
waist. This point is either worn
down over the shoulder or folded on
top of the head and may be used as a
pillow at night. 1t is apt to contain
anything from bread to snuff, which is
indispensable to the older Sard. A
queer custom of some of the younger
men Is to let the hair on top of their
heads grow often to fifteen inches in
length and then roll it up into puff,
which looks like pompadour across
the forehead.
Not only in their features, but in
their language do the natives of Sar-
DINA retain traces of the many races
which have occupied the island
through the centuries Phoenicians,
Carthaginians. Romans, Saracens, Ital-
ians and Spaniards. Many dialects are
spoken, but Italian is now taught in
the schools, and the men acquire the
official language during their period of
compulsory military service.-National
Geographic Magazine.

Storing Late cahbaas.

Late cabbage can be stored in the
field and kept In very good condition If
care is taken to keep the water away
from it, says the American Agricultur-
ist. A trench three and one-half to
four feet in width is dug in a well
drained location in the field where the
cabbage is grown. 1t Is dug to a depth
of about ten or twelve inches, the dirt
being thrown out on either side. The
cabbages are pulled up by the roots.
The loose outside leaves are carefully
wrapped about the heads, each in turn
being placed in the trench, roots up.
Three rows are laid in the bottom of
the trench with the cabbages as close
together as possible. A second tier of
two rows is placed in the same manner
between the rows Of roots Of the bot
tom tier. As fast as the cabbages are
harvested the trench is extended across
the field.
All is covered over with dirt, the top
of the heap being ridged to aid in turn.

horse manure to depth Of six or eight
inches Is put on over the clay at about
freezing up time. A small drain ditch
Is usually dug about foot out on each
side to help In keeping water out Of the

ger of heating or molding. The fodder
should not be wet when shredded and
stored, but damp days are preferable
for doing the hauling and shredding
because the blades are more pliable,
and the fodder Is therefore handled
with less waste. But in some sections,
especially in northern states, where the
corn i$full of sap when cut and where
damp fall weather prevails, much care
is necessary In storing corn fodder or
slower to prevent heating and molding.
In such localities 1t should be placed
under cover in ricks not more than six
or eight feet In thickness, or If shred
ded layers of dry straw several inches
deep should alternate with layers of
the shredded slower. The depth of the
layers of stover can vary from several
inches to a foot or more, according to
its dryness when stored The dry
straw will take up some of the mois-
ture from the stover and prevent heat

FORESTS IN EAST AFRICA.

lmpsnetrahIe TangIes Where Every
thing 10 Dripping Wet.
The dense growth of tropical for
est In East Africa is thus described
in 1.-THE Rediscovered Country" by
Stewart Edward White:
..Imagine first the planting of sin
gle great spreading trees at spaced In
tervals, trees in shape like elms, ma
pies or beeches, but three or four
times their size. Fill in the spaces
between them with a very thick
growth of smaller trees-100 feet high
and foot or so through-then below
that leafy underground so dense as
to be impenetrable to either sight or
locomotion. This underground is of
many varieties. 1t puts out big leaves,
small leaves; grows on hard stems,
watery soft stems; it stands a foot
high or forty-generally both.
"Underfoot are ferns Along the
slanting trunks of trees grow other
ferns and damp mosses Streamers
of moss depend from limbs and sway
In the currents of air Orchids cling.
All small dead twigs are muff1ed
tightly in vivid moss. On the slopes
Of the canyons and the heads Of ra-
vines are little forests of tree ferns,
feathery and beautiful. These run to
thirty feet in height.
Everything is dripping wet. In
deed, the strongest single impression
that remains to me of that forest is
that it was vanished forest. Every
leaf, every branch, every smooth sur
face, shines polished Always in the
ear is slow, solemn dripping"

CURIOUS TAXES.
Ways Holland Had of Raising Funds
In the Old Days.

Ways Holland Had of Raising Funds
In the Old Days.
The archives of Holland contain or
dinances which may well be regarded
as curiosities of taxation. In the year
1866 there was tax imposed on all
passengers travelling in Holland by
land or water. In 1901 this tax was
still In force.
In 1914 duty of 21a pence was lev
led on each person who entered a tav-
ern before noon. Those assembling In
a private house after 3 o'clock in the
afternoon for the purpose of amusing
themselves had each to pay a certain
sum, and those who entered a place of
entertainment were likewise taxed.
There was duty ON marriages and
deaths. The amount of the tax varied
according to the social position of the
parties, while in the case of person
buried outside of the district In which
he lived the amount payable by his ex-
ecutor was doubled.
But the most curious tax of all was
one imposed In 1914 on boots and
shoes. In order to prevent the impost
from being evaded each of those arti-
cles SO essential to human comfort had
to be conspicuously marked on the up
per leather with the stamp of the
maker and also with that of the taxing
officer. The sum to be paid was regu-
lated by the size of the boot or shoe,
so apart from the question of beauty In
those days it was real advantage to
have a small foot. 1t saved expense
