WITH OUR SOLDIERS.
AFTER A DRAWING BY
Christmas With Our Soldiers.
It is safe to say that Christmas day
of 1898 will be a strange and interest-
ing one to a few thousand American
volunteers who are stationed in Cuba,
Puerto Rico, or away across thePacific
in the Philippines. Many of these sol-
diers and sailors will this year spend
their first Christmas away from home;
many of them heretofore have never
been more than a hundred miles away
from their native town. Of course,
they may have a little twinge of home-
sickness. but the averaze American
soldier in good health and spirits
doesn’t need much sympathy.
Ilc is going to have a good time, and I
is sure to celebrate Christmas in a fit- {
ting and appropriate vay wherever he i
is. in Ponce or Santiago or Manila. It ,
will be a novel and exciting day to I
him, with much to attract and much to
interest. There will be cock-lights and .
bull-lights and a thousand queer for-
eign festivities. incidentally we may
rest assured that the American soldier
will contribute his share towards the
general enjoynients and introd Lice some
striking features of his owu invention.
But the Christmas season of 1898 will
find a great number of our soldiers and
sailors on sick—beds in hot and rocking
hospitals, and for these, it will be a
long, homesick day. Our illustration,
taken from the_Christmas issue of Har-
per’s W’eekly, shows one of our soldiers
in a hospital tent at Santiago, and if
the Christmas box is nota home Christ-
mas dinner, it is the next thing to it.

A CHRISTMAS-BOX FROM HOME.

' GOVERNOR’S NAME.
For the First Time the Initials Will Appear on
Governor-Elect Lounsbury’s Portrait.
W hen the portrait of Governor-elect
Lounsbury is painted and hung in the
state library at the Capitol it will be
marked with his full name, “G. E.
Lounsbury.” It will be the only por-
trait of a governor of Connecticut to be
marked with the full name of the gov-
ernor. Thus Governor Cooke’s por-
trait is marked “Cooke,” Govei-non
The de-
parture from the custom in the case of
the governor-elect's portrait is owing
to the necessity of distinguishing it
from that of his brother, Phineas T.
Lounsbury, who was governor from-
1887 to 1889. The latter’s portrait is
marked just the same as the others,
with his surname Lounsbury. It is not i
: intended to add his initials, “P. '1‘.,” '
l
to it.
It is interesting to note that none of
the gOVci-nors of Connecticut who have
had the same family name have their
portraits distinguished by their in- '
itials, says the Hartford Times, Thus i
here were two VVolcotts——Roger and I
two Oliverswbut there is no mark or ‘
letter on their portraits to distinguish
one from the other. There were also
three Trumbulls, two Jonathans and
one Joseph; and two Griswolds,
Mathew and Roger, but their portraits
are not indicated by their initials. The
last Winthrop was commonly called
Fitz-John \Vinthrop, and in the list of
governors published in the state reg-
ister. his name appears Fitz-John Win-
throp. But Fitz-John merely means
the son of John, and he used to sign
his name John quite often. The first
father of the present governor of Mas-

FAITH CURE AND'A CARSUNCLE.
Friends are Not So Easily Convinced as
the Patient.
Say I have an obtrusive rarbunrle
on my nose. I ‘all in the Christian
Scientist. who administers “a high
attenuation of truth." My belief in
the carbuurlc disappears. and with it
goes the (-nrbuncle. too. so far as I
am concerned. It may be that I. look
in the glass and perceive no tan-bun-
016. The Christian Scientist takes her
fee and leaves me. In comes my friend
Brown. and greets me with. "Hullof
old man: you have got a nose on
you!" or some such vulger and incorr
sideratc remark. l endeavor to mourn
him that he is mistaken. and that the
cai‘bunclc is :1 creation of his dis-
eased imagination. But Jones and
Robinson speedily turn up. and :iccost
mo in similar terms, until my mind
becomes impressed with an uneasy
suspicion that all is not as it should
be with my nose. The morbid dc-
lusion of my friends extends to me.
I take up the glass again. and there,
sure enough. is the carbunclc as
.Iarge and as angry as ever. Under
these cirruinstaurns, it seems a clear
waste of money 1‘0 pay a Christian
Scientist to cure my rarluinclc. unless
the fee. is to include the treatment of
the whole circle of iuy'l'rieiids. and,
indeed. of any one whom I may meet
by chance in the street. I rather
fancy that the Scientists have met
with this dilliculty in practice, for I
tint] that in many cases which they
have taken under their‘treatiuent it
has been :1 sine qua non that the
patient should be isolated from 0.13-
