How They Are Guarded at Garrisons. The Bull Ring. The hardest duty that a soldier is ever called upou to perfo'ri in times of peace and the duty which he dreads the most is the guarding of military prisoners. These are divided into two classes: First.-Garrison prisoner, who have received light sentences for minor breaches of discipline and will be re turned to duty in a short time. Second. -Mili ta ry convicts. who for attempted desertion or other serious military crimes have been dishonor ably discharged by order of a court martial and have received sentences varying from a few months' to several years' confinement at hard labor. ac cording to the gravity of the offense. Into their ranks the vicious element or those who hold their oath of enlist ment too lightly eventually tind their way. Every morning at fatigue call the prisoners are drawn up in a lo:.g line In front of the guardhouse and sur rounded by a chain of sentries. The somber prison garb of the "generals" military convicts were formerly known as "general prisoners-is marked with a gigantic capital "P." whicih renders them conspicuous and therefore makes escape more diflicult. Some are evil looiing fellows with long and unsavory records. Doubtless many h:ve "done time" more than once in civil prisons before evading the watchfulness of the recruiting ofncer and tinding their way into the army. Others :ir.' rosy checked I::ds who in all probability have yet to see their twenty-lirst birthday. and in nine cases out of ten the charge against them is desertion. Homesickness or restlessness under military restraint and discipline have led them into the rash nct. the heavy lienalties of which they may not have fully realized. In groups of twos and three and guarded by sentries with loaded rifles. these men perform most of the dis agreeable work and menial labor about the army post. which is highly varied in character and may consist of anything from sprinkling the flower beds on the officers' lawns to digging ditches for monster sewer pipes. Al though they generally perform their enforced tasks cheerfully, occasionally a particularly disagreeable piece of work causes a miniature strike, and a dozen men may -buck"-that is, re fuse to work. It is then that the historic "bull ring" is resorted to. A huge circle Is marked out on the ground. and the malefactors are required to walk around Its circumference in Indian file for eight hours a day, preserving ab solute silence. A ten minute respite is allowed at noon for a bread and water lunch. A day or two of this treatment usually suflice to break the most stubborn will. If not there still remain solitary confinement on the bread and water diet and as a last resort the dungeon. The prison duty is by all odds the grimmest phase of the soldier's life. He may find himself standing guard over his best friend. with orders to shoot to kill should his man attempt to escape.-Youth's Companion. A ?oliceman's Testimony. J. N. Paterson, night policeman of Nashua, Iowa, writes: "L.ast winter I had r. bad cold on my lungs and tried at least a dozen advertised cough medi cines and had treatment from two phy sicians without getting any benefit. A friend recommended F'olevs Honey and Tar and two-thirds of a bottie cured me. I consider it the greatest cough and lung medicine in the world." W. E. Brown & Co. A tLong Divo. "A circus came to a little town in Tennessee," said Colonel Robert M. Gates in the Saturday Evening Post, "and one of the attractions was a high diver, a chap who dove from the top of the tent into a shallow tank, which is a feat common enough, but which created a deal of talk in that locality. "The wiseneres were talking about It at the store. Many of them thought it could not be done without killing the diver, but one old man Insisted that It was perfectly feasible. -. -What do you know about diving? he was asked. -. -Waal.' he replied. 'nothin' In per tickler about that kind of divin'. but I used to have a cousin who wvas the longest diver ye ever see.' --!.ongest dive: :y scoff'ed the other sitters.

"We learn from Biesius that a cer tain house in Spain. scated among many elder trees. diseased and Lilled nearly all its inhabitants, which. when at last they were grubbed up. became a very healthy and wholesome place." Cattle scarcely touch the elder. and the mole is driven away by the scent. Carters often place branches on their horses' heads to keep off tlies.
