One of them had been picked up by Farmer Brown's Boy. She got the man smell and she didn't like it. So she felt this one all over more carefully than she did the others.

Should she keep them in that nice home in the leaf pile? Or should she | find & new home for them somewhere? It was that man smell that she could still get on one of the babies—the smell of Farmer Brown's Boy—that decided her. ‘I can't stay here,” she said to her- self. “No, I can't stay here.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. June 12, 1864 —With 250 wounded Union soldiers, nearly all serious cases, the steamer John Brooks arrived here today from the White House, Va., near the scene of recent fighting between the armies of Gen. Grant and Gen. Seven men died on the trip up the river. Lieut. Col. C. H. Corning of the 14th New York Artillery, who is wounded, and Lieut. Col. W. C. Banta of the 7th Indiana Infantry, who is ill, are among the soldier patients who arrived here on the steamer. This party of wounded, the physicians on board declare, required their con- | stant attention and that of the Army nurses -on the steamer. Assistant Surgeon Woodbury and his assistants and Drs. Gallagher and Ure were kept busy every minute of the trip chang- ing dressings and otherwise caring for the wounded and i1l soldiers. Secretary of War Stanton today re- ceived a dispatch from Gen. Hunter, dated 6 a.m., June 8, at Staunton, Va., reporting that the Union troops in that section had met the Confederates at Piedmont, killing Gen. William E. Jones, their commanding officer, and “totally Touting them after a battle of 10 hours’ duration.” A dispatch from Gen. Grant's head- quarters, dated 4 o'clock this afternoon, says the Confederate Cavalry yesterday made a dash into Gen. Wilson's Union lines near Tenny House. This morning | Wilson sent out a bedy of troops to | locate the Confederates. They came upon Field's Confederate Division of Infantry about one mile west of Beth- | saida Church and immediately retired, having “accomplished the purpose of the reconnoissance.” ‘The Union troops in this latter move- ment brought back four or five prison- ers. They had 16 Union soldiers killed and wounded, and are believed to have killed and wounded a number of Con- It’lder&beb in the skirmishing that took place. Lieut. Knox, with a military guard, will leave the Marine barracks here to- morrow with two bounty jumpers, John Davis and John Green, who were re- cently convicted by court-martial. He will “take them to the Connecticut Penitentiary to serve a sentence of 10 years' imprisonment. At Philadelphia other military prisoners will join the MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN “Measuring the Home.” One mother says: One rainy day I gave our children & yard stick, tape measure and foot rule and allowed them to measure every- thing about the rooms, putting down the measurements on paper in & neat, orderly fashion. This provided an en- Joyable pastime and a very instructive one. While the game was in progress I took the tape measure and listed each child’s measurements for head, neck, length and so forth. This I kept for later use when I was doing their Spring sewing.
