Seeds Used as Fuel.

Hundreds of tons of peach ‘and apricot seeds, which have been thrown away every season heretofore by the canning factories In the great fruit districts of now, sold as fuel and bring $2.50 a ton retail.

YES! LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT PAIN! j Cincinnati man tells how to dry i up a corn or callus so it lifts T off with fingers. ♦ TE-iBSEig > R RR You corn-pestered men and women need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, because a few drops of freezone applied directly on a tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened callus loosens so it can be lifted off, root and all, without pain. A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is Inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin. If your druggist hasn’t any freezone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. —adv.

American Women Who fought as Soldiers

Memorial Day brings to mind many of the gentler sex who enlisted either by stealth or openly on both sides and fought bravely shoulder to shoulder with men during the Civil War-"

fN THE war now being fought over in Europe women get into men's uni- [ forms and fight battles. For Instance, there is one ■ girl by the name of Tom- ; aszeff who made a wonderful record in the Russian army ; and many a woman like her has won similar fame. Yet there has been no war in which girls and ty women have not won this kind of celebrity. The Civil war was certainly no exception. , There were many girls who fought through the war on both the Union and Confederate sides. For example. Dr. Mary E. Walker received a commission ns assistant surgeon, and went through the war with it, but there were many women who enlisted and went through hard service without making Doctor Walker’s reputation. For example, there was Frances Hook, a fourteen-year-old girl, who enlisted with her brother at Chicago. The two enlisted in the Sixty-fifth Illinois and were mustered out after three months. Frances Hook, wearing male clothes, enlisted in the Nineteenth. Her brother was killed at Shiloh, but the girl, still wearing the clothes of a nujn. fought through the war until Chickamauga, when she was captured and shot through the leg In an attempt to escape. While she was a prisoner ill Atlanta, Jefferson Davis is said to have offered her a lieutenancy if she would join the Confederate forces. Frances, it is said, replied to President Davis’ offer that she would let herself be hanged before she would take up arms against the Union. She_ had enlisted under the name of Frank Miller. In one of the regiments from Ohio a girl enlisted. She was the sister of a member of the regiment. While at Camp Jackson and Camp Dennison she handled lumber, performed sentry duty, and did other work of that sort. It was two weeks before she learned that there were two Camp Dennisons, and that her brother was at the other one. Straightway she made application for a transfer and failed. She wanted to go to the Pennsylvania Camp Dennison, and she wanted to go badly. The colonel of the regiment, a good sort of fellow named Morrow, talked to the girl for some time and made her confess that she was flying under false colors. Without much ceremony she was dismissed and home. Just after the battle of Chickamauga, Colonel Burke of the Tenth Ohio exchanged a large number of prisoners with the Confederates. He noticed a particularly clever and able young man among the prisoners he received —a boy who gave the name of Frank Henderson. The colonel became Interested enough to inquire who Frank was, and found out that he was a girl. He, or rather she, had enlisted with her brother at the outbreak of the war. They were orphans, and were devoted to each other, and she could not bear -the thought of being sep-. arated from him. He had been her only companion from bflbyhood.

At the expiration of her enlistment for three months in the regiment she was mustered out, and next enlisted in another regiment from southern Illinois, where her sex was not discovered. She was wounded two or three times, discharged and sent home, and enlisted again in the Nineteenth Illinois. She was finally captured, and a bullet wound in her leg led to the discovery of her sex. There is no braver story in all the annals of war than that of Mary Owens. She came from a place called Danviile, inPennsylvania. Iler hus* band decided to qnllst. Mary went with him; she and he went to the front together; she had eloped with him, and now she was ready to carry her decision to the limit. Man and wife, they fought together until a bullet put the man out of the running; and even then the woman fought on. A Southern bullet struck her in the chest and she went to the hospital, but-on the record were written the words, “A more faithful soldier never shouldered a musket.” s? In Brooklyn, N. Y., a girl enlisted and fought to the finish through the war until she was mortally wounded in Hooker’s advance on Lookout mountain. 2 Fanny Wilson enlisted in the Twen-ty-fourth New Jersey in order to fol-

low her sweetheart, who was a ndemfield. He knew nothing of her action, but she saw him every day and came near being assigned to the same mess tent with him. At Vicksburg Miss Wilson was shot. So was the young man; apd Miss Wilson, who nursed him, (lid not reveal her identity to him until just as the boy was dying. She stayed by him, closed his eyes, and then went to Cairo and got an engagement as a chorus girl. A little while later she enlisted again, still in male clothes, as a member of the Third Illinois. She was taken to the headquarters of the commanding officer, it being suspected that she might be a Confederate spy, but she made it clear that she was.~a-good, loyal Federal soldier. In one of t he—Pennsylvania regi - ments a bright little girl of twelve years enlisted as a drummer boy. She gave the name df“Charles Martin, and she appeared to be a clever little fellow and made herself useful to the officers of the regiment in the capacity of a clerk. She was in five battles, but always escaped without a bullet wound. Her superior officers never suspected her sex for a moment. It was nbt until she tvas taken to a hospital in Philadelphia suffering from typhoid fever that her sex was discovered. An officer of the Seventeenth Illinois, by the name of Reynolds? had his wife made a major. Reynolds himself was a lieutenant. She was a scout and spy and made no effort to conceal her sex. A girl named Annie LlllybridgevzSt: Detroit became betrothed to a lieutenant in the Twenty-first Michigan and decided to put on soldier’s clothes and serve with him until the end of the war. She enlisted in the same regiment without his knowledge and carefully hid her identity. She even went so far as to enlist in -adifferent com-

Marvelous Tale of the Sea

Monkey and Squirrel, Chums on Steamship, Commit Suicide, Passengers Declare. Bored ship news reporters who have listened indifferently for months to tales of Cuban revolutions, who have scoffed at German sea raiders because of their frequency, and have got up to walk when submarine captures were mentioned, the other day sat up with an appreciative jerk when passengers on board the steamship Santa Maria of the United Fruit line, from West Indian ports, began to talk, the New York Herald says. The story wound about the fact that the Santa Maria carried a large collection of animals which Henry Ruff was bringing from the tropics to the New York Zoological park in the Bronx. Among the animals was a squirrel and in the cage nearest was a monkey. Passengers noticed that conversation between the two was especially confidential, but thought nothing of it until one day -when the iminnrls were being aired on deck. Suddenly the

“I put my good money in your schenle,” bellowed the small investor, “and. now I can’t get-a cent out of it !” “Calm yourself,” answered the- wlly promoter. “Other people put twice as much money in it as you did. and theirs was just as good as yours.”

She was finally disabled 5y a shot in the arm and, het sex being- discovered,-she was sent home. Major Pauline Cushman was one of the cleverest servants the Union army had throughout the war. She was an actress who lived in Cleveland and was employed as ah officer of the Union army. As scout, spy, and soldier, the girl major made a reputation -second to none in the Northern army. Pauline Cushman^ has left a reputation only second to that of Belie Lloyd, to whom Stonewall Jackson wrote that she had saved his army. Mary Siezgle, the wife of a soldier in the Forty-fourth New York, enlisted with him and fought in the battle or Gettysburg. She served for a while as a nurse, but afterward put on male cldthes and did her share in actual fighting. One little heroine of the war had the honor of being complimented in general orders. She was a flfteen-year-old girl named Schwartz, living in a farmhouse about twelve miles from Jefferson City, Mo. On the night of August 6, 1863, a party of bushwhackers who had heard that it was a rendezvous of Union men attacked it. Th ere were four men in the house, one being the child’s father; they all fled and left her alone to confront the guerrillas. The little girl intrepidly opened the door with a revolver in her hand which the men had abandoned In their flight and said, “Come on, if you want to. Solin eof you will fall or I will.” The bushwhackers told her that if she did not leave the doorway they would kill her. “The first one who takes a step toward this door dies,” was the girl’s response, and the marauders left. —New York Times; —

A question bothered the passengers who related the remarkable bccur;X>id the monkey, out of affection for the squirrel, attempt a rescue, or did the two, fearing a separation when they reached the n ßronx, form a suicide pact?

Grafting Wax.

The following makes a good grafting wax: Take four ounces of pitch, four ounces of resin, two ounces of lard and two ounces of beeswax. Mix these together and dissolve over a slow fire. Another recipe is as follows: Melt one pound of resin over a slow fire, add one ounce of beef tallow and stir with a dfy stick or wire. When somewhat copied add one tablespoonful of spirits of turpentine and lastly five ounces of 95 per cent alcohol. In small quantities. If the alcohol causes it to lump, warm again until it melts.

What Bird?

Her older sister is a student of zoology in high school, and therefore must keep her eyes and ears open for early spring bird arrivals. Little Peggy also helps. They were out tramping recently and their course took them through a strip of swamp and marsh In the woods. Only. a few birds had been spotted up to that time, so they were oh the alert for any call. “What kind of a bird is that, Margaret?” asked Peggy. Margaret investigated. They listened for a long time with no results? Tlien Peggy cried : “There it goes,” and they all heard an early bullfrog give a big, deep croak. —Indianapolis News.

You Take No Chances in Buying a Saxon t You may buy a Saxon believing it to be the best car in its class and you will get what you pay for. You may look for longer service, better performance and lower up-keep bills from your Saxon than from any other car of like price. And you will not be disappointed. If there was any doubt that Saxon cars are the best in their respective divisions it has long since disappeared. And the proof of this you will find, a thousandfold over, in the records of Saxon owners — and in the opinion of motor-car buyers in general. Saxon cars have definitely established their superiority in every phase of motor car performance. And just as surely and decisively as they have proved themselves abler acting cars, have they proved themselves cheaper cars to keep up. To build cars of such quality and Such value clearly reflects the strength and soundness and ability of the Saxon organization.
