WORK OF ARMY CHAPLAINS.
Tbey Have Maar and Dlffereat Wars
•f Rrarhlna the Heart of Ibe-
Soldier Bora.
While military men and office-seek-
ers of almost every other sort are using
every effort to secure commissions in
the new volunteer regiments no large
and loud clamor for the positions of
chaplain have been made public. The
regiments in the Philippines are not
overburdened with ihese blackcoated
officers as it is and it is entirely prob-
able that most of the ten additional
regiments will leave without them.
The chaplains are appointed by the
president but their assignments are
usually to posts rather than regiments
and they are a function of peace time.
Dr. S. S. Turner who is one of the ex-
amining surgeons at the Chicago re-
cruiting station w as talking a few days
ago about the chaplains he had known
in his long experience upon western
posts and Indian reservations. He in-
clines to the theory that an army chap-
lain can do more good by example than
active campaigning. He has seen some
of them try to "convert men on the
spot” as he says and most of them fail
lie is heartily in favor of them as an
institution however because of their
excellent assistance and benefit to the
enlisted men. The surgeon and the
chaplain have opportunities to do good
outside the strict lines of their pro-
fessions which most of them are quick
to seize upon and many a soldier in
trouble has found a friend in them.
"The best chaplain 1 ever knew”
said Dr. Turner “served at Fort Ran-
dall for nearly 20 years. He was a Cath-
olic priest who had lived all his life at
a community down in Ohio some place
and was appointed from there. His
whole experience in life was drawn
from those two close neighborhoods—-
the monastery and the army post. Ue
knew absolutely nothing about the
world outside and was the most guile-
less man I ever saw. Yet he was one of
the best things we had around that
post. He was broad in his religious
views if he was narrow in his observa-
tion in life and had no hesitancy in
reading the Episcopalian morning
prayers occasionally at his services or
of usingthe forms of the other churches
in burials or the few weddings he offi-
ciated at. He did his greatest good in
just living there in his quarters. He
was a quiet studious man and his quar-
ters were visited many a time by the
men who were in trouble and needed a
friend's advice. The officers cannot
always help the men out of scrapes but
this man could. He considered that
that was what he had been put there
for and the example of that simple old
man living there alone doing good
and with a kind word for everybody
saved more of the wild young fellows
from going to the devil than all the
preaching he eould have done on week
days as well as Sundays.
“That is what 1 think a chaplain
ought to be like. Men who are in the
army don’t usually cotton to preach-
ing. The rules and articles of war
keep them pretty well supplied
with precepts and the chaplain finds
his greatest usefulness in other things.
I knew one chaplain who used to stop
the men on the parade or anywhere
else he might meet them and talk to
them about their souls. But they never
seemed to like him much and he wasn’t
popular about the post. I have known
several of the other type. They were
just as religious and good as this active
campaigner and they got along lota
better. The good ones don’t preach
dogma. They talk about the correct
way of living and watch out for
chances to befriend the men. The
best way to a soldier’s soul is through
his heart.” —Chicago Tribune.
ONIONS FOR THE SEASICK.
Sate and Sure Preventive That Should
Be Taken on Yachting
Parties.
A safe and sure preventive if not u
cure of sea sickness has been found in
pickled onions. A rich young merchant
in this city went a-fishing to the Chol-
era banks and was obliged by one of
those marital necessities to take along
his wife. He gave her oceans of advice
against going pointing out every real
and imaginary discomfort to be found
on a publie fishing boat to all of which
she made answer that she could stand
the worst. It was a day of heavy ground
swells one of the kind on which even
the regulars feel a sinking sensation in
the pit of the stomach. Mrs. Persist-
ence grew pale then white. Her lips
got blub. Her teeth nervously rattled.
“O no! lam not sick; only—only—”
•’Here my dear lie down in this easy
chair. Let me bundle you up. What
makes you so white? You are sick!
I told you! I warned you!” He had
carried along a jar of pickled onions.
Bloodworms were used for bait “Let
me bait your hook my dear. “0 I
don’t feel like fishing.” “Here is a fine
worm. There! Goodness how I ran
that hook into my finger! See it bleed.”
It was the gore of the worm but she
believed it his and she trembled. An
ashen color settled in her face. “Don’t
let me see it” she murmured. He men-
tioned every unpleasant subject possi-
ble but she refused to yield to the se-
ductions of the swell and roll. Then
taking pity he produced the onions—-
a quart jar. His testimony is that she
ate at least a pint then took up her rod
and fished the rest of the day catching
lings of two three and five pounds
laughing as merrily as a child at play
as she hauled them In.—N. Y. Press.
A Good Word for John.
“What did that man want?”
“He wanted a correction made.”
“Did he leave his address?”
“No; he didn’t want to.”
“All right; make the correction.”
Correction.—“J6hn Smith wishes it
stated that he is not the John Smith
who was sued for board by his land-
lady.”—Puck.
HONORABLE TIGER MISS
f Speeimee of <Be Trained lint in
Japan—A Cbarmla* At-
tendant.
A Japanese trained nurse! It is hard
to say why the idea strikes us as odd
for Japan is provided with excellent
physicians and hospitals and the em-
press is herself president of the Jap-
anese Red Cross. Nevertheless if we
find something surprising in the
thought there is much that is winning
in the embodiment if OTora San the
nurse described by Mrs. Hugh Flaser
in a recent volume of reminiscences
may be taken as a fair specimen.
“She was barely four feet high”
writes Mrs. Fraser. “Her complexion
was dark her feet were encased in
white linen socks with divided toes and
shod with dainty straw sandals with
green velvet straps.
“Her figure the shape of a very soft
feather pillow was draped in a tight-
fitting white apron with a large bib
and she was kept inside her buttonlcss
and stringless clothes by a cruelly
tight and wide leather belt put on over
apron and all. Into this belt bolding
her breath for a long time first she
could with great effort push her fat
silver watch her clinical thermometer
two or three yards of a Japanese letter
(which she would read a foot at a time
when she thought I was asleep) her
carefully folded paper pocket handker-
chief and the relentless little regis-
ter in which she noted down from
right to left cabalistic signs with
which she and the doctor conjured
every morning till they knew all the
sins my pulse and temperature had
been committing.
“Her name was O’Tora San—Hon.
Tiger Miss—but her ways were those
of the softest pussy that ever purred on
a domestic hearth rug and oh what a
nurse she was! So gentle so smiling
so delightfully sorry for one!
“1 have often caught the tears run-
ning down her little brown nose when
the poor Okusama was extra bad; and
through Jong nights of pain has she sat
on her heels on a corner of my bed
fanning me ceaselessly with the all
but imperceptible flutter of the fan’s
edge—a movement only possible for
those wonderfully sensitive Japanese
fingers but most refreshing to the
fanned one.
“When it was time for her meals my
maid O’Matsu would creep into the
room having shed her sandals at the
door and after inquiring about my
health would make a deep and grace-
ful obeisance to Hon. Tiger Miss and
inform her in a respectful whisper that
her honorable dinner was ready.
“The polite little Tiger would jump
up return the bow ask permission
to depart and slip out to feed on fish
pickles (such dreadfully strong-smell-
ing pickles!) and rice washed down
with thimblefuls of green tea or fish
soup.
“After about 15 minutes of solid feed-
ing she would return come up to my
bedside and express her gratitude for
the meal supplied her. Then she would
drop down on the cushion in the cor-
ner and with the calm unconvention-
ality peculiar to her race let out a
couple of holes in the leather belt.”
Her ugly uniform discarded how-
ever and arrayed in her own dove-gray
kimono and wide sash as her patient
afterward often saw her the queer lit-
tie lady became as charming as she was
quaint—the very demurest and dainti-
est of domesticated Tigers.—Youth’s
Companion. '
TO KEEP FERNS ALIVE.
la PottlniT Rich Soli Preferably Leaf
Mold la Weeded for
Them.
Nothing adds more to the attractive-
ness of a room than a pot of ferns. But
how to manage ferns when they come
from the florist is what few housewives
know. If the intention be to pot them
singly they should be repotted in a
size larger only than the pots they have
occupied. If received by mail with the
soil washed from the roots put the
plants into as small pots as will nat-
urally accommodate the size of their
roots. Place bits of charcoal or broken
pottery an inch in depth in the bottom
of the pot for drainage. Cover this with
a thin layer of moss or leafy refuse to
prevent the soil from washing through.
An ideal soil in rich flaky leaf mold
with one-fourth part coarse sharp sand
well mixed in. In the absence of leaf
mold well-rotted sod rich in decayed
roots is excellent; or chip dirt mixed
with decayed straw or such matter;
with either of these use the same pro-
portions of sand. One need not always
go to the woods for leaf mold; in many
a sheltered fence corner and under the
edge of the walks the leaves from shade
and other trees find lodgment year aft-
er year and decay. Manure should not
be added to the soil for ferns; an ex-
ception may be made with very strong-
growing varieties —a little may be add-
ed with beneficial results if so thor-
oughly decayed that it looks like rich
black earth. A few bits of charcoal
varying from the size of a pea to that
of a hazelnut may be scattered through
the soil; they keep the soil sweet and
fern roots seem to like the little nooks
and crannies afforded by them. Bits of
broken brick may be substitutcd;either
hold moisture and you will find when
turning the plants out for repotting
that the main mass of roots have made
their way around these and down Into
the drainage matter in the bottom. —
Chicago Chronicle.
Pineapple Cream.
Cover half a box of gelatin with cold
water and let soak half an hour. Put
a pint of grated pineapple and a cupful
of sugar in a saucepan and set over the
fire to simmer; add the gelatin and stir
until dissolved. Take up turn into a
tin pan stir until the mixture begins
to thicken; mix in carefully a pint of
whipped cream; pour in a mold and aet
on ice to harden.—Housewife.
