The question as to Who should carry on the noble and patriotic ceremony of Memorial Day when the surviving vet. erans of the Civil War shall become too feeble or too few to assume such du- ties and responsibilities has often been raised, and the usual answer in this section has been that the Sons of Vet- erans organization would continue and carry it on. The ceremonies have been conducted in a way to have become most valuable in their patriotic lessons, not equalled in this respect by any other observance. In one way and another they have developed until they have become most impressive ’The Fourth of July oration has as a rule become a thing of the past, but nearly every town has its Memorial Day ad- dress and for the purpose the best pub- lic speakers obtainable are engaged. The exercises in the public schools have become systematic and the ar- rangement of music and responses is most entertaining and instructive. The Chicago Times-Herald takes up the question and suggests that when the time shall come that the G. A. R. veterans can not well carry on the work, that they have instituted and conducted so well for quarter of a cen- tury, that its direction be turned over to the National Guard and that the pu- pils of the public schools should be called upon to aid them to the largest lxtent possible. These are bodies that will surely be continued for all time, for the nation will have fallen when the public schools and the National Guard in some form shall have disap- peared . THE GERMAN GENERAL. lilgel’s Promotion Due to His Successful 5. _ Retreats. ‘ ' ' “You fights mit. Sigel? ,, Den you drinks mit me." -‘ Up in Mott Haven, just out of New York, lives a. little, old man, who did more than any other person to keep Missouri in the Union during the Civil War. He isn’t imposing looking—no one would take him for a commander of corps. He is small, wrinkled and gray, for Franz Sigel is nearing his seventy—second birthday. It’s queer to reflect that he was against the govern- ment in Germany and for it in the United States. On the other side he was a Radical, but a Radical Republi- can, not a Socialist. i The most notable phase in Franz Sigel's military career has been his masterly retreats. This doesn’t de- tract from his fame as a fighter—the battle of Pea Ridge proves that. But Sigel could conduct a retreat in the face of overwhelming odds so neatly as to enrage the enemy afterward when it was seen what he had done, and to win for himself stars of glory and promotion. Had he fought first Bull Run, the name of that battle prob- ably would not have gone into history as the synonym of an utterly routed army. Sigel began to retreat before he left Germany for America. He saved his army of the Neckar by a back- ward guide right march. In our Civil War Sigel retreated at Carthage, July 5, 1861, at or before Pea Ridge on March 5, 1862, and at New- market, May 15, 1864. In all cases Sigel was outnumbered, yet manoeu- vred so as to save his command. BIRDS’ CURIOUS PRISON. Supposed to Have Been Enclosed in the Branch of a Tree About Two Years. . In chopping down a tree the other day a Sherman county farmer noticed a limb with a cavity some two feet in length and three 01' four inches in di- ameter. in which were two large,vfull- grown birds. There was a small open- ing, through which the birds received food from their mates. The limb was cut and the birds liberated. Neither was able to fly, having never been out of its place of imprisonment. It is probable that the mother bird was small, and. though able to make = her nest in the hollow of the tree and near her young, could not extricate them, as they did not have strength enough to help themselves until the hollow so closed as to make escape im- possible. Those who hzive examined the birds think they are about two years old- . They have been fed from their birth by their bird fellows through the aper- ture in the limb of the tree—Cor. New York Press. Why is the Sky Blue? Did it ever strike you to inquire why the cloudless depths of the sky above us are so delicately blue? the gas we call air is in itself blue. As far as we know, it is quite trans- parent and absolutely colorless. No; the blue comes from reflected light. Air is never pure. You couldn‘t live in it if it was. Countless millions of tiny particles. chiefly of water, are always suspended in it. and these arrest the free passage of light. Each particle has a double reflection—~one internal, the other external—and so the reflected rays suffer the usual result of what is called “interference,” and show color. You will notice that the sky appears much bluer if you look straight up than if you look across towards the ho- rizon. The reason is that, in the first instance, you are naturally looking through a much thinner layer of air than in the second. If there were no air, and consequent- l'y no watery vapor and nothing to in- terfere with the free passage of light, even at midday. the sky above would look perfectly black, and all the stars plainer thamsat prescht they do at midnight.

A Local Occurrence That Will Interest Many Readers. If when a foghorn warns the mariner to shear off the coast, he still hugs the shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault is it? If the red switch light is up and the engine drive‘r deliberately pulls ahead and pitches into another train, blame the driver. If a careless work- man will, in. spite of warnings, try to find out how many teeth a buzz saw has and the saw tries to find out how many fingers the workman has, blame the workman-not the saw. If a sick man knows that a certain medicme is doing him good, and he carelessly neglects to use it.'blame the man not the medicine. If N orwalk people who have kidney complaint and backache will not take Doan’sKidney Pills, when they are en- dorse by scores of citizens, blame the people, not the endorsers. Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden avenue, says: “ I was reading the pa.- pers one evening, and came across an advertisement of Doan’s.Kidney Pills, and at the time I Was annoyed with a pain in the small of my back and was thinking of trying some preparation to see if I could get relief. Doan’s Kid- ney Pills seemed to me to be above the average judging from the cures they had made, and I got a box at Hale’s drug store and took them. They pro- duced decided and satisfactory results. I recommend them to my friends.” Doan’s Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6 boxes for $2.50. Sent by mail on receipt of price. Foster-Milburn 00., Buffalo, N.
