Hints for Sick Room Things That Count for Much in Times of Sickness. Sonne may say "We' know that," Quite true, hut do you practice these small things which mean much to one who is not well Never whisper in the presence of a patient or exhibit sigens of worry or ex citement Keep the room clean and tidy. Use a slight dampened cloth for, dusting put a eouple ot drops of turf entieon as a disinfectant All vessels and glasses should be coy ered Always wash the hands in a weak solution of disinfectant when leaving a sick room Serve meals daintly change the tray dressing as frequently as possible Never wake a patient for food or anything else except under the pbysi clans' order Settling for the night frequently takes longer than is calculated upon so start early before the patient be comes tired and nervous, In all things try to be considerate. Many times patients are looked upon as cranks when in reality the care taker and conditions in general are somewhat at fault. •i!HlE CLINTON NBW ERA BOMB -THROWERS' WORRIES Sergeant Maurice Juven, of the 10th French Infantry Regiment, wounded says: "I waa made sergeant and one of the bomb -throwers of my company. It is not the pleasantest taek to be a bomb -thrower. At the beginning. We experimented with many sorts of bombs, but found most of them too risky for the thrower and the men In the trench behind him, "One day it was cold and raining and I put the sack of bombs in a lit- tle recess in the side of the trench to' be out of the wet. The sentinel' gave the alarm that the Germans were moving to the assault. The lieu- tenant shouted out, 'Hurry up with the bombs, Juven.' - "I handed my tinder briquet to the sentinel, and pulling out a bomb tried to get the time to light. I had to blow on it for two or three seconds before I saw the red glow running along the cord. I then jerked back my hand to throw the bomb when to my dismay it slipped out of my half - frozen fingers and flew back into the trench behind me. I shouted a warn- ing, but the men had. all bolted to cover behind the nearest re-entrant angle. So when the flash and roar of the explosion carne only three men *ere bowled over and cut about by flying stones and gravel, but were not seriously Burt." WHY THE RED CROSS Description of Solferino by Swiss Led to Treaties and Flag Why the Red Cross Society? Why not the Blue Cross or the Green Cross? How did the flag design so familiar on the battlefield in times of war, and at disasters in times of peace, come to be dhosen? The answer to these questions will be found in the following brief history of the Red Cross: The movement had its origin In Europe. After the battle of Solferino; in 1869, Henry Dunant, a Swiss gentleman, visited the battle- field and spent several days there as- sisting in the care of the wounded. He was much impressed by the sight of terrible suffering caused through the lack of sufficient appliances and help for the care of the wounded. In 1862 Dunant published a description of what he had seen; setting forth reas- ons for establishing in every country permanent societies for the relief of Ube wounded in war. His article was immediately translated into several European languages, and made a deep impression. A society in Geneva, Switzerland, appointed a committee, at the head of which was General Dufour, the gen- eral in chief of the Stylss Confedera- tion, for the purpose of carrying out the proposals, of Dunant. This led to an international conference at Gen- eva in October, 1S63, attended by dele- gates from sixteen countries, and which called an international congress that met in Geneva in August, 1864. The body drew up a treaty of nine articles, which hoe since obtained till: approval of every civilized nation of the globe. This treaty looked to the neutralization of hospitals, materials, nurses and surgeons in time of war, and that these might be recognized a common design was fixed upon for the flags of hospitals and convoys, and the arm badge for persons. This was a red cross upon a white ground, a design adopted at a compliment to Switzerland, which has this design upon her flag, with colors reversed. Frenchman Quite Safe Two French soldiers took their places in the trenches—the one mid- dle-aged, who had long since received his baptism of fire, the other a mere youth; whose chattering teeth and blanched face proved it was his first experience of real war. The older solder tried to reassure his frightened companion. "Be brave, my lad; remember you fight for France." A shell screeched through the air close' overhead, and the young\ man's terror increased. More soothing words, but more shells, and the upset nerves still on edge. .ten hoer passed, punctuated by many kindly encouragements, but the new soldier's fear had not abated. The patience of the other was at last exhausted. "Why do you shiver and shake like that, you vain young fool?" said he. "You don't suppose the Germans are firing all these expensive shells at you, do you? You are not a cathedral or a work of art!" Quarreling Levers Enlist An amusing phase of the recruiting, says a Canadian' sergeant, is the num- ber of young men who come to the office hot from a lovers' quarrel. You can tell them the minute they come in by their white, determined faces,' and the faraway expression with which they go through the examina- tion. These recruiting stations ought to play the very dickens with sweet- hearts. weethearts. A girl daren't enjoy a little Quarrel.

(Formerly Wltdde) WAR HORSES IN BATTLE, Cavalry Mounts Revel in the Dash and Fury of the Charge. It will probably y surprise you, said a retired colonel of hussars, to learn that a cavalry horse Usually enjoys a battle at least as mucin as his rider. and des- Slays us much courage in it. Ile' will chafe and stamp with impatience while waiting for'tbe order to charge and at the signal will dash forward Bice a greybound released from the leash, full of fire and fury and often neighing wildly. At the moment of contact with the enemy he will rear, striking, and biting savagely at the opposing ,horses and trampling down the infantry. When his rider falls he will dash along with his fellows and crash as gallantly into the foe. In the famous charge of the Light brigade scores of riderless horses swept down the "val- ley of death,"•thundering through the smoke on to the Russian guns, and gal- loped back in safety with the shat- tered remnant of the brigade. Five horses raced neck and neck with Lord Alfred Paget, who rode in advance of the line, so eager were they to get at the enemy. And not only is the well trained charger as brave as his rider. He is often as intelligent. He knows the bugle calls just as well and answers them as promptly. In fact, .1 have known many a case in which a horse has put his rider right when he has mistaken an order and has gone fault. lents- through a maneuver in spite of the efforts of his mistaken master to make him do the wrong thing.—London Tit -Bits. it Puzzled Him.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S OASTORiA Lundy Island. Lundy island, at the entrance of the Bristol channel, bas a queer record. It was owned in the eighteenth century by a Barnstaple man, who contracted to ship convicts to Virginia, but only took them to the island. where he profitably employed them, even in smuggling to the mainland, Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA Winning a Violin. The wny M. Ysaye, the great violin- ist, became the owner of It Guarnerius violin dated 1742 was thus quaintly told by hlmself: "The Guarnerins was bought in Par- is by a pupil of mine, a charming young woman. I envied her the violin, and fate gave it to me. I teach this pupil, and by and by I meet her sister, a most lovely young woman, with whom I fall in love straightway and marry. Soon I go to my sister-in-law, who was my pupil, and say to ber: "'It is time you stop footing with a violin. You will never learn how to play it.' I take the liberty of a big brother, but she do not like It for long time. At Iast she succumb to my ex- perience and wisdom, and she stops playing. Then 1 say grandiloquently: "'1 will take the Guarnerius, 1742.' I take it, and that is bow the violin came into the possession of Ysaye." Cracow. Cracow stands even before Warsaw in the minds of Polish patriots. Not only was it once the capital of free Po., land, with a cathedral equivalent to Westminster Abbey, wherein sleep the generations of Polish kings and, heroes, but it possesses the moat striking pa- triotic memorial in the world. This is the Icosciuskoberg, a mound 800 feet high, erected to the memory of Kosciusko, and formed of earth from. every battlefield of Poland. In the construction of that memorial Polish nobles, statesmen and peasants toiled side by aide. -London Spectator. (—Enjoyment.

All of them are men ofpatriotic semi- Ment, of original genius, and of an enterprising spirit. They have lived to see that great restoration of Im- perial complete, anis to sue the conn try rise frons an insignificant Orionta'. State to a first-class power. The influence which these statesmen command in Japanese politics is far stronger and their popularity is a little greater than is usually admitted by the "yellow" paper's, The last four to remain were Prince Marshil Yamagata, 'Marmite Inouye, Marquis Matsugata, and Prince Marshal Oya- ma. Of these four, Marshal oyema is a simple warrior renounwnnd;for great services as the highest ticed com• mender In the Chino -Japanese war and the Russo-Japanese war. Pu: like all the others he has wlele'ec steadily an enormous influence. Ey War and Finance Prince Marshal Yarnsgnta, tilt president of the Privy aocne.l, beleng tag to the gtc.. t military clan of Cho sbu, has long been the most influonti 1 general and statesman of Japan. His influence in army circles less been u.; - paralleled, second only to that of the Emperor r I rnseif. Nest earaes Marques Inoye, we.n has outlived his vigor of body, but n.,1 of mind. FIe is also from the Clioshi; clan. In restoration days his stand In favor of the "open door" caused hitt to be attacked one night outside hip house and badly wounded. Marquis Inouye commanded the same influence in the Japanese financial world as Yamagata in the milita''y circles. OFF Japanese firms were like river boat suddenly dashed out to the high seas when western methods found sway it Japan. The largest of these, the grow; of the Mitsui family, was saved by Marquis Inouye, whose influence war already firmly established in the Gov eminent, several other old firms were similarly succored. Marquis Matsurgata, who is from the Satsuma clan, also exercises considerable in- fluence in the financial world. Strong as the Emperor Now comes the question, how much influence these old men had. Inasmuch as their influence was derived politic- ally from the past merits and the im- plicit confidence placed in them by the ]Emperor Meiji and the present Emperor, their political ascendancy may be said to be in rough proportion to the measure of sway the Emperor commands deer the people, They have become now and then the target of press attacks, the object of popular fury artificially fanned by the anti- genro papers. Their position has stood nevertheless firm and unshaken. One of the most Important branches of politics about which the elder Jap- anese men occupied themselves in former days was negotiations Itlr foreign powers. Constant intimidation. threats and menaces worried them al- most to death at the possibly approach of a national calamity. This has left indelible impression in their memory of the troubled past. They still enter- tain a vague fear of Europeans. To them Europeans appear greater and wiser than the Japanese, The case is different with young statesmen, There is consequently a tendency among the young statesmen to preach rather high-handed measures in diplo- matic relations, while they are as a rule constantly fettered and tram- melled by orders from the geuro. PROSPERO GALVM HATED As Inquisitor For Austria He Secured Information by Torture A hundred years hence women in Ala of Italy will still threaten unruly children with the "cur.e. of Galvan." Go into Ala to -day and ask inhabitants what they know of Prospero Gaivan,. and you will see their faces blanch with hatred, if no longer with terror; because there is still with them, and will be so long as they and their children's children inhabit Ala, the spectre of the sworn torturer of Ala, the Trentino renegade, the sergeant of gendarmes, and the infamous in- strument of Francis Joseph. The square, brutal face; the narrow grey eyes, colli, piercing, and pitiless; the shaven head and the massive jaw, withits huge. mandibles; the low fore- head of the typical criminal, and the big pointed moustachios will for many Years be the nightmare of the people of the Val Lagarina. For this Galvan was a torturer by profession and in- stinct. To him was entrusted the task of searching out those inhabitants of the district whose sympathies were with Italy. There le not a house which he has not robbed under pretence ot searching for fugitives; there is not a family he has not blackmailed under threat of denouncing father or son or brother as :'Italophil."He "made friends" of some families under pre- tence of being secretly on the Italian side (for he comes of a good Italian family), then haled the male members secretly and at night before a "com- mission of inquiry" at the headquarters of the genarmery, and there flogged them to try to extract from them the names of Italophils. An army of spies was in his service, and he created an atmosphere of hatred, terror, and per- secution. When war appeared in- evitable he sent his wife and children into Switzerland because he knew that whosoever bore his name would meet with ao mercy at the hands of any - Italian of the Trentino. In recent years Germany's birth- rate has been falling three times as rapidly as Britain's. Additional clasps may be added to the Victoria Cross for subsequent acts of bravery.
