'Twasnoon, and on the field of battle. The guns were silent, hushed- and still, Save now and then the muskets' rattle. From the picket lines, on ridge and hill. Ml through 4he night the lines reforming. Strong lines of cannon, and' of 'men as well, Now each commander waits the storming, The crlash and havoc of,- both shot ahd shell, Then from the ride, where Lee had formed His lines of cannon with their brazen throats. Turned to the hill soon to be stormed; Burst forth a roar, and o'er the field of oats . . Swept the fierce gale of shell and sftof. Then answering came the thunder sound, As cannon viec? with cannon hot, T1U all the distant hills resound. Now comes a lull, amid the storm of fire, And all the hosts the respite gladly greet; When from the woods a mass in gray attire, Five thousand strong, come forth grim death to meet. In double line, as if on dress parade. They march, nor flinch, as on each side Their even' lines are torn and frayed, As comrades fell, and falling diedi Oh, men of valor, true ye are, From Picket down to private least; And high above the smoke of war The nations on your valor feast, But on the hill are men as true. And shot and shell pour out as fas'.. As gunners in their garb of .blue Stand by their guns until the last But on they move; the columns newly drest, As in their ranks the guns sad havoc make, For; from the batteries on the crest The cannon roars make earth to quake. And from the ranks come bursts of flame, -. , And rank by rank the soldiers fall, "" Each cannon seems to mow a lane With cannister, and grapfe, and ball. 'Tis man to man, and breast to breast, - For upward climb the ranks of gray, To reach at last theTiilltop's crest, - And find a foeman brave as they. They waver, all in vain they strive. Back from thecrest now step by step. No reenforcements can arrive, So, backward from the hili are swept. The day was lost, and yet the day was won; The ground is sacred in our eyes to day. Our hearts rejoice at deeds of valor done By those who wore the blue, the gray. For as o'er the storied hills we roam, And live the scenes of war again. The flag, dear emblem of our home, Waves o'er the men of Georgia and of Maine. For men are men, and a human breast Pierced by the implements of war Lets loose the life blood, and they sink to rert - ' : - While yet the triumph is afar. -So of the thousands that went forth that day, - From out the wood, in valor 'strong and true, 80 few returned, the rest they lay Down where-'they fell beneath the night and dew. H. X. LA TOUR. LAST SHOT OF THE WAR. Fired by a Texan In a Hot Battle with Yankees on the Old Palo Alto Battlefield. A Texan in Washington tells the Post thatr the last shot of the re bellion was fired by Capt. S. H. Bar ton, now a prosperous ranchman in western Texas. He says: "When a line of the confederate cavalrv was slowly retiring from' the field on the plains of Brazos San tiago, in Texas, where the blue and the gray had met in deadly encoun ter for the last time, a soldier turned in his saddle, and, throwing his gun to his shoulder, fired. It proved to be the last shot of the last battle, and it was certainly the last shot of the long war. Barton was a captain in the confederate army and was held in high esteem by his superiors and loved by the brave Texans he led. A ''He now lives at Bel Rio, in West ern Taxas, where he owns one of tVa HE FIRED THE LA il SHOT. most desirable small ranches in the state and considerable town property. Capt. "Barton is sure that he fired the last shot at the close of the last bat tle of the civif war, ' and I believe him, for he is a perfectly truthful man and- would not misrepresent a matter of that kind in the least, not even to have his fame spread, over 40 pages of history. "The story of that last battle, which was fought on the 13th of May, 1865, after the war was ended - and peace was declared, has escaped the attention that it merits, for it was an affair or no little importance. Gen. Egbert Brown, who recently died at West riains, "-Mo.," was in command of t.hf federal troops in southern' Texas, and he was doubtless well in formed concerning the termination of. hostilities. Gen. J. E. Slaughter, tvho commanded the confederate troops encamped at Brazos Santiago, had heard rumors of the surrender( of . the armies commanded by Lee. Cner.:inntoCcs!i Ccs-q Fcr Cs3 Ccj end Cr: SCOTLAND Johnston and other generals, bnt-he had received no official notice of! these facts from" the war depart- ment. Gen. Brown, under a flag- of truce, informed the confederates ofi the state of affairs about Washing ton and Richmond, at the same time inviting them to come in and lay down their arms, as the "war was cer tainly over. "Gen. Slaughter refused to act in the affair of such importance until he was" better informed. Thereupon Col. Bar ret, at the head of a considerable fofee, was dispatched to break up the ene my's camp. A hot battle ensued, and, curiously enough, most of the fighting was done on the old field of Palo Alto, where Gen. Taylor achieved his victory over the Mexicans nearly 26 years be fore. The French soldiers encamped on the southern shore of the Kio Grande were in sympathy with the southerners-, and they kept Gen. Slaughter posted asi to the movements of the federal troops. Several spirited encounters occurred, and the loss sus tained by some of the colored regi ments must have been severe. "While the battle raged the confed erates vere frequently, informed by some bold cavalrymen in blue that the war was over; one daring fellow shout ed 'Lee surrendered a month ago; the war is- ended; why don't you go home?' "When the engagement was hottest, Gen. Slaughter received dispatches, and the French sent him a bundle of news papers. Fully satisfied that the cause for which they were fighting wais- for ever los t, he ordered the firing to cease. At that particular moment neither side could have claimed any advantage, but both armies began to retire from the field at the same time. "As Capt. S.H. Barton, in command of the rear guard, was slowly riding away a stray ball struck a 3-oung mari by his side, and he fell from his saddle: That was certainly the last man killed in -the long war. Capt. . Barton has been unable to recall his name. 'I thought that was hard luck, said the bid is-oklier. 'The young man had served four years- and never got a scratch. The last bullet that came our way killed him. Prompted more by spite at fate than bitterness toward the enemy, I turned in my saddle and fired toward a dark blue line, which I hope was out of range. That was cer tainly the last shot of the great war.' " ORIGIN OF "FIT MIT SIGEL.I' An Ex-Confederate Think the Well Known Phrase Started In a 31 las-oar i Court Room. "The poem of Grant P. Robinson, '1 Fights Mit Sigel,' reproduced in the Sun of August 22, in connection with the death of Gen Franz Sigel, re minds me of the time when the name of Sigel was despised in Missouri," says an ex-confederatfe living in New York who was chased by the men who "fit mit Sigei" in that state, relates that paper. "It was the belief in old Missouri that ..Pap Price, as his sol diers called him, was invincible. When we heard that a Dutchman named Sigel was in the field on the union side we Johnny Rebs laughed until we were too sore to march. Any thing in. camp that was no good was called Sigel. Whenever we got into a country where the people were wa vering between the secesh and the union we brought the , hesitators around by asking them how they liked a country that had to hire a Dutch man to fight its battles. This start ed the laugh and often won a re cruit. "Finally we went up against it in the battle of Pea Ridge. It was the first square-toed fighting we had done, and, according to history, we were not in it. We didn't sit up in camp much after that singing and cracking jokes about Sigel. "But the saying: 'He fit mit Sigel, originated, I think, in the court of a justice of the peace of Missouri who was a union man. An old soldier was arraigned before him on the charge of stealing hogs. The evidence was going against the prisoner pretty hot and the old J. P. was scratching his head and biting the ends of his whiskers until his beard looked like a hedge fence after a rahbit chase. The soldier, who couldn't spealc much, if any, English, was put on the. stand, and muttered something the justice didn't under stand. W "What's your client trying to say?" asked the justice of the country lawyer. "The lawyer repliedof course the lawyer did not know 'he says he fit mit Sigel.' " 'Then he didn't steal the hog,' said the justice. 'Prisoner discharged.'" Another Genlns Dlscoaragrd. He glided into the office and quietly-approached the editor's desk. "I have written a poem," he began. J'Well!"- exclaimed the editor, with a look and a tone intended to annihi late. But he calmly resumed. ?

A dispute over the proper design for the president's flag,, involving the war (and navy departments, has been set tled by the department of state, which acted as arbitrator. When it was de cided during the MeKin ley 'adminis tration tht the president should have an ensign of his own, to be displayed on. ships of war when the president was visiting them, the navy -department was intrusted with the work of making a suitable design. The depart ment decided on a blue flag, with the shield of the United States in the cen ter and a star at eaeh of the four cor ners. Not long ago the war depart ment had a number of these flags made, in accordance with the navy depart ment's design, and printed in colors in a book of flags of all nations which the navy department published offi cially. Col. T. A. Bingham, of the army, who is a sort of chamberlain to the presi dent, recently discovered there was a difference between the president's flag used on ships of war and the design adopted by the war department. The flag in use by the navy shows a shield with seven red stripes and six white ones, while the flag primed in the book and used by the war department has seven white and six red stripes. Col. Bingham brought this discrepancj- to the attention of the nay department, and it was decided to leave to the de termination of the state department, which designed the shield, Whether there should be more white than red stripes or more red than white stripes. The state department produced the original design of the shield, which showed seven white and six red. An'd there was no getting around the evi dence of the original design, the navy department will have to recall its first edition of the president's ensign and manufacture new flags showing seven white stripes and six red ones. DIPLOMAS FOR SERVANTS. Association at Chicago Plans to Have "(irwilnale" Cooks and Laundreitses. According to plans made by the Chicago Housewives' association serv- ing maids.may hereafter be obliged to hold diplomas issued by the associa- i tion in order to secure positions in ' the homes of members of the organiza- j tion. This plan, announced -by the: women at their meeting, is the latest sUfi-cestion for the solution of the servant girl problem. . - The rules regulating the granting Of the diplomas are to be definite. The formal testimonials ill be granted to maid only after she has beefi-in one family for a year and has performed her duties With a certain deeree? of . cj - , proficiency. Real parchment will be used and the holders will be described as "satisfactory," "good," or "remark- , ably efficient." , j Graduate "cooks," "waiting-maids," "ladies' maids" and "laundresses" will be the classe of household women servants. The association is enthusi- astie over its new project. "We have graduate nurses to look after us when we are sick," said one of the members. "Why shouldn't we have graduate maids to look after us when we are well and keep us in that condi tion." "-- A reform in the social nomenclature denoting employer and employe was also introduced, and in the future "mis tress," "domestic," "servant." and fi-irl"mavbe dronned from the vocabu- lary of families of the members. "Ma- , c ..- -11- - vrn. tron" and "maid," the association in sists, are the proper terms to use. FROGS AS BIG AS OXEN. Fossif Hones Discovered in Oklahoma by Scientist of Field Colum bian Hdmeuiu. H. W. -Menke, of the Field Colum bian museum, Chicago, is in Okla homa collecting fossils. A few years ago many fossil bones were found near Orlando. They were small back bones, leg bones, and a few 'skulls and teeth. Most, of these specimens were sent to Br. S. W: Williston, of Kansas university, now of the Field Columbian museum. He sent Mr. ! Menke to Oklahoma, Where he has collected a number of these great bones. Speaking of the animals to which the bones belonged, Mr. Menke said they probably were members of the class known as amphibians, now re presented by frogs, toads and sala manders. If one can imagine a frog as big as an ox he will have some idea of the appearance of the pre historic rngnsters to which these bones belonged. The Task Was Impossible. The plan to erect eight granite monoliths in the chancel of the cathe dral of Si. John the Divine in Man hattan has been given up at last. The contractor has for years been, trying, to turn out these columns entire, GO feet long, but no. machinery exists by which they could be turned without breaking by their own weight. So the contract has been modified to allow the columns to be in two sections, 36 and 18 feet long, respectively, the bases, plinths and capitals to be add ed. Three of these will soon be erect ed. Each one will cost $16,000, will he the gift of some individual and named after eminent men -of the church. ? . ; Humiliating;. A New York lady who sued for $25, 00 for breach of promise has been swarded damages in the sum of six cents.

Streams Purify Fastest'. "During recent years there has been a change of opinion as to the self-puri fication of river waters, says a re- "The port of the geological survey. most rapid purification is found to take place in still water, and not m deep, as formerly held. The issue be tween Chicago and St. Lottis, Cecil feioned by the opening of the Chicago drainage canal, through which the sewage of ChicagoTis conducted to the Mississippi river via Desplaines and Illinois rivers, is based upon the condi tionyin the minds of the people of St. Louis that there wili aris. efiects det rimental to the water of the Missis sippi river at that cily. The whole dis pute centers, therefore, about the old moot question as to how long a dis tance is necessary for a river to flow in order to purify itself. "We know from cliemical analysis and physical examination thut a vary ing degree of purification takes place in a river. In early days this. Was thought to be due to aeration, and the tumbling of water down mountain sides became tlie basis for poetic t vili fication of purity. The experiments of the Massachusetts state board of health hate shown that aeration has little or no effect upon the condition1 of organic matter in water that is, the organic matter is not assisted in its oxidation by agitation in. the air. It was also found that the highest de gree of activitj' in oxidation processes is to be founel in qiTfescentor stagnant waters. It then became clear that, self-purification iij a sluggish stream is far more effective than in a swift current, and that dams and other im pediments have a beneficial effect up on the condition of water in river channels." "Promulgation .of the facts relating to the self-purification of waters," says Prof. Leightou, who is the au thor of the report, "led to an entire change in the ideas concerning thexlis tance necessary for stream purifica tionand it is now understood that no hard and fast rules can be set for guid ance in determining- the purifying power of any water course. A royal commission, appointed to inquire into the conditions of England's rivers, reported to the English parliament in the early seventies, held that no . Stream in the United Kingdom was sufficiently long to effect its own puri- fication. The familiar aiKloft quoted -principle is that a stream purifies itself m miles, bur now this distance was fleteriniiied atid who was responsible for it is. a matter of doubt; certain it ?s that the statement is entirely wrong 111 the majority of cases. Pettenkof fer, Nering, Stearns and others have given formulae which are undoubtedly true for the rivers upon which these men worked, but which can in no wise j be accepted for rivers in general, and it remains for the investigator to de termine by actual experiment the pri fying power of each stream with which he has to deal." The work of examination of the sur face waters of the United States re centlv inaugurated by the geological survey in cooperation with the various ' college laboratories throughout 1 ' country, will be useful in the determin- aiion 01 tne seii-purnving po ers o a m 1 1 , , . , , . many 01 tne lniersiuie rivers Thes- results will be highly beneficial to the municipalities and corporations whicl may be looking toward the establish ment of sewerage systems and xurifi cation works, PRIZE-FIGHTING IN ARMY. War BciMtriiiient Refuses to y Whether Knlixtt'tl Slen May V.n grage ill Fi-stic Kncou utters. The war department is reluctant to ct mmit itself upon the subject of prize fighting in the army. Some tihn ago the commanding general of the partmcnt of Missouri requested a de cion of the department upon the j question of th&-right of an enlisted man in the army to participate 'as a j principal in an athletic boxing con J test. In replj-, he was informed Hint I "there are some subjects as to which , it is impossible for. the war depart ment to prescribe a uniform rule, and j that this is one of them.. But apart from the strict law in the case, it is a matter of common information that local sentiment is divided iu-respcrt to contests of the kind described, and this adds to the difficulty of framing a rule, were there no legal obstacles in the way of its preparation." There being no legal power in the department to establisha rule on the subject, the acting secretary of war k decides-that the question presented h left to the regulation of the post com mander.

One of my lodge friends advised me 0 try Peruna, as it had helped h im, a n't 1 found that a bottle cured me.

Instance In Bronx Park . V.) Zoo. In the New York Zoological society' collection in the Dronx park theri were until recently two young red foxes which had been born in the cage. When I saw them they were about two weeks old, and rather timid; ih !ool;, they were very much like bushy-tailed and red-cared rats, though quite pre possessing. The mother had burrowed under the asphalt of the den, where i. j was nice and cold and damp (this wa. in the early spring), and there she 1 kept her cubs. It wa not an ideal home for them, but she preferred it to her man-made kennel, relates a w riter in Woman's Home Componion. In order to be photographed tin cubs were removed from their dens by a keeper, and subsequently handled bj others. Then thej- were put into the ntviiiel, which was warm 'and com fortable. For this that very night they paid forfeit with their lives; the next, morning naught but their masks re mained. The parents had killed and eaten them. For this reason it is next, lo impossible to rear young foxes in captivity; sooner or later it will be come imperative that they be handled or moved, and then they die. She Knew How.
