Prepared Special Schedules.

Some slight conception of what this
problem means may be deduced from
the fact that in the National Army
movement alone the railroads have had
to prepare special schedules covering
the 1881 towns and cities designated
by the provost marshal general as the
points of local concentration from
which the recruits to the new National
Army proceed to their cantonments.
I'm addition. the special train move
ments have had to be so directed as to
prevent interruption to the regular
passenger service.
The longest haul made in the new
National Army movement to date was
that of the special train which moved
the citizen soldiers from Yuma. Ariz,
to Fort Riley, Kan, a distance Of 1,514
miles. This trip occupied forty-eight
hours.

the matter.

Remedy For Frosted Feet
 And Inflamed Bunions

Few people get through life without knowing something of the torture of frosted feet or bunions. Children are particularly susceptible to the former, but grownups are by no means exempt writes correspondent of the National Stockman. After suffering and trying many things we have found so far never failing remedy for both chil- plains and bunions, and not the least of Its virtues is the fact that 1t is both simple and inexpensive.
 Half fill a four ounce bottle with ker- osene oil and put into 1t an ounce of gum camphor crushed fine. Keep tight ly corked and shake occasionally until the camphor dissolves, then apply free ly to the affected part as required, sim ply allowing it to dry in.

It will also relieve soft corns and aching feet and will not blis- | ter.

 Perhaps you labor under the delusion that the principal vocation in life of a handkerchief is to attend at discreet intervals the nose when that necessary feature indulges in a little Marathon. Not so in Vigo, Spain. Yet handker- chiefs are much more in evidence in this quaint Spanish seaport than in our nasal Yankee midst.
 Here, however, they are raised to an exalted position far ahead of their plain usage of the western world. In Vigo they cover the head of every peas- ant woman and even the infants in arms. What matter if the child lacks shoes, If even a scanty slip is its sole sartorial effect2 Always its head Is carefully untitled from any advances of the sun by a bright hued handkerchief carefully knotted under it's tender in- fantile chin.
 A Paisley shawl and pair of elabo- rate flligree gold earrings are the two other necessary adjuncts of typical Vigoesque toilet. In the earring fash ion as well as the handkerchief one the infants of Yigo invariably share. The toddlers not only have big ears, but they are also gold trimmed.
 Even pauper women in filthy rags begging by the roadside have ears or nate with golden baubles Haunted in the face of poverty.
 The tatters of these few beggars are the surprisingly few evidences of dirt you detect in this picturesque little fish ing village. With its steep, struggling cobble streets climbing up characteris- tic Spanish steps to the top of its for tress topped mount it seems almost g spotless town after the unspeakable sights and smells of Bahia.-Pittsburgh Press.

CALLED THEM INDIANS.
How the Red Men of This Country

How the Red Men of This Country
 Came to Get That Name.
 But" said the little girl who has now reached the dignity of owning a geography, "why did they call the peo- pie they found in this country Indi- ans?' The people who live in India ought to be called by that name."
 Now, that was very appropriate question for the little girl to ask. And the answer to the little girl and to any other little girls and boys who may be puzzled by the same thing Is that Co., lumbus and his men didn't start out to discover America. They didn't, of course, know there was any America here. What they did believe was that the world was round and that by sail ing far enough they would come up on the other side. You all know now that what they believed is true, but in those days most people believed that the world was flat and that if a ship sailed far enough out into the ocean it would fall off the edge.
 Columbus said that if he took ship and sailed and sailed he would at last come to India. Now, India was very rich country, and for hundreds of years Europe had been trying to find an easier way to get there, so what Co., lumbus said appealed to a good many merchants and traders, and Spain final ly fitted out some ships for Columbus.
 You all know that Columbus finally did reach America, but he believed he had sailed clear around the world and had come to India from the other side, so he named the people he found on the shore 'Indians." And after 1t was found that this was not India, but a new world, people went on calling the people Indians because that was as good a name as any for them, they thought.-Kansas City Star.
