SMEDBERG'S RECOLLECTIONS OF RED CROSS WORK IN THE CIVIL WAR HROUGHOUT the entire war the services rendered by the Sani- tary Commission in general and its women in particular were of inestimable value in saving 1ives, alleviating pain, and cheering the dark hours of loneliness and despair wounded experienced. To this day the boys remember with gratitude the gentle, efficient attention of their women nurses, who cheered them when they were despondent and tided them through many a crisis by words of encouragement and the of our services| ‘here those services are most urgently | 1 A i | Washington after the amputation of own men or the| While it is true the War Department | which thousands of ‘the sick and| Page Nineteen.) stimulus of sympathetic companion- | ship. | I know frdm experience how it is to| have such help near when it is needed. A woman of this noble kind visited me | twice a day when I was laid up in my leg. She was always jolly—had a bit of interesting army gossip to re- | late, or news from my regiment and | brigade, and she told it in a breezy | way that braced a fellow’s spirits just to listen. She wouldn’t let me give up to “the blues” if I had wanted to. | One day I heard her cheery laugh as she entered the door, and thinking that | the sheet was perhaps not as ('urvlullyl arranged over my wounded limb as it| should be when a lady visitor was ex- pected, I made an effort to adjust it. She laughed outright in her hearty way and said with a reassuring pat on the coverlid, “Never mind that, my boy. I've seen men with less cover than that in Libby Prison.” And weak as I was I laughed too. Mrs. Ricketts was the wife of Gé‘n-i eral Ricketts of Washington. He was | wounded at the first battle of Bull Run in '61, tahen prisoner and sent to | Richmond with other officers of our army. As soon as his wife heard of it she applied for a commission to pass through the lines. It was granted, and she joined her husband. She rema’ned there several months and was the only woman in Libby Prison, doing practi- | cally all the nursing for the officers, and there were many of them there who were wounded at Bull Run. They regarded her as not only a min- istering angel, but several angels rolled into one, and there is no question but | that her presence during that terrible ordeal saved their lives. | Afterward Mrs. Ricketts returned to | ‘Washington, where she devoted herself to visiting the regular army men, near- ly all of whom knew her, in the hcs- pitals, talking to them, making them laugh so that they might have faith to believe they were not going to die after all, and doing them good every day of their lives. It is curious what influence the mind will exert over the body. I remember a case in point where two ofricers of the regular brigade had been injured, one with what was considered a mortal wound, a bullet through the lungs; the other with a flesh wound—what we used to call a furlough, for a hole in the arm meant thirty days’ leave of absence at home. When I visited them the man with the perforated lungs who couldn’t speak, smiled, and his bright eye show- ed unflinching courage and determina- tion. The other was very despondent. Sald the surgeon, “If they continue in their present frame of mind the really sick man will recover from sheer grit and the man who is merely gloomy will die.” And so it proved. But f a cheery woman had been there to pull him out of that slough of desfiwnd I believe he would have got well. When we came up from Fredericks- burg after the battle of the Wilder- ness, by boat, after being carried | some fifteen miles, the surgeons came aboard to chop us up. I had already had my leg taken off, Wut'I had my owi sanitary commission to look after me my sister having come on to meet me. That fortnight was a busy one at Fredericksburg with the Sanitary Com- mission, for the battle of Spottsylvania | followed soon after. The ambulance corps had been sent on with the wound- ed to Fredericksburg, where they were detained if convalescent, or shipped on to New York and other places of hos- pital safety if in serious condition, so the poor fellows who were wounded had to be sent from the fleld in army wagons without springs, and were worse off than we because they had had nearly two weeks more of fatigue. I have seen women writing letters for men whose arms were shot off. I have seen them reading home letters to men with holes in their heads, band- aged so that they could not see—per- haps never could see again. The presence of these self-sacrificing women in the hospitals was a blessing that cannot be overestimated. | was ordered to | wharves. | ant, COMMODORE SCHLEY AS OFFICER AND COOK. HIGH officer In the navy recently wrote to a relative In this clty re- garding Commodore Schley, who Is in command of the flying squadron “It Is proof conclusive that the fly- ing squadron is intended to fight from the mere fact of the appointment of Com- modore Schley as its commander. Schley would be useless either as an apostle of peace or a procrastinating warrior. He is a fighter.” That is the general verdict of the navy and of all men who know Commodore Schley. . 2 Winfield Scott Schley is one of the most interesting personalities of the men in command at the front. He is a singular combination of characteristics. While he is known to the outside world as a man of genuinely bellicose temperament, he 1s in his ordinary dealings with men one of the most affable and congenial of com- panions. In heart he is a Bohemian, with a love of good fellowship and gastronomy. He prides himself on his ability to cook and possesses a library of works on gas- tronomy that would adorn the home of any chef of international fame. While in San Francisco several years ago he was attending a social function, and, acceding to the importunities of the ladies present, he delivered an informal lecture on the ‘culinary art. A Marylander by birth and education, he Jearned at an early age how duck and terrapin should be properly prepared. In later years he developed the art of cook- ing on scientific_grounds.- - 5 Here is an_incident illustrative of Schley's fighting qualities. In 1891 the Baltimore, Captain Schley commanding Valparaiso. The Chilean insurrection was at that time filling Americans in Chile with great alarm for the safety of their property. Schley was ordered to look after their interests. The big, white cruiser in the harbor, flying the stars and stripes, was an object of execration to the Chileans. It is a matter of international etiquette that foreign boats are entitled to the right of way in landing or in leaving the This rule of etiquette was sys- tematically and offensively disregarded by the Chilean boats. The Chileans would increase or decrease their speed so as to run across and frequently foul the Balti- more’s boats. Such mishaps may have occasionally happened by accident, but constant repetition showed them to have | been aéts of intention. * | The matter was brought to Schley's notice. He immediately wrote to Commo. dore Fernando Veil, the Chilean com- mander, informing him of the discourtesy and also warning him that if the offenses were not promptly discontinued he (Schley) would instruct his officers to de- cline no controversies of any kind. The result was that the practice of foul- ing the Baltimore’s boats came to an abrupt end. Schley won fame in the long four years’ | struggle of the rebellion, when he earned | the title of commander. Upon the re- organization of the navy at the close of the war his rank was reduced to lieuten- from which grade he has steadily ad- ced until now he is a commodore with cts of immediate promotion. commander of the flying squadron hbulnnlrhlh the first fighting fleet of che nation. WAYS TO CURE POISON OAK. LONG the entire Pacific slope, from Canada to Mexico, there | grows a particularly poisonous member of the Rhus family, commonly known as polson oak. It | grows everywhere and is such a harm- | less looking, rather attractive plant, that one’s first acquaintance is not a | happy one. No place else in the world is this particular species to be found. Remedies are as varied as the pa- tients, every sufferer having his own method of obtaining relief, even, on a sort of homeopathic plan, eating the leaves of the plant, sometimes with al- most fatal results. Many interesting experiments have | been tried with the plant, and the cause of the utter failure of physicians to successfully treat the poison is believed to lie in the fact that the poison has always been supposed to consist of an acid, whereas experiment has proved that the poison is a non-volatile oil. This would call for an entirely different treatment from the one ordinarily used. To some people the plant is perfectly harmless and to others, even in the same family, it may become fatal. An authenticated case of a servant boy is one in point. He had been engaged in pulling up the plants which grew on the grounds around the house. When he had finished he washed his hands carefully in hot water and soap and afterward in vinegar. Then he took the young son of the house to a pond to bathe. the arms, rubbing his back carefully | with the bare hand. Three days after deep ulcers appeared wherever the ser- vant boy’s hand had touched the child. | No medication was effective and the child died. | Dr. Frank says in the Medical Record that he has been most successful in treating the polson by handling it ex- actly like any septic wound. A portion of the skin has absorbed poison which ‘can be carried to other portions of the body by the contact of the patient’s hands. The first essential {s cleanliness, a bath in water with soap.

Any one either exposed or in danger of expcsure could find almost certain protection in a hot antiseptic bath. Carbolic acid, lysol or bichloride of mercury are easy to use by a non- professional when it is remembered that all antiseptics are deadly poison when taken internally. Bichloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate comes in small tablets with accurate directions for use and dry can be carried in the pocket. In the German public schools there are always charts of the poisonous plants which grow in the region round about and the children are taken to the fields and learn the plants to be avoided.

(Continued from Page Twenty-one.) which, had they availed themselves 6 it, the Anglo-Saxons had lost all. But so firmly did the besiegers hold their position and so promptly begin to re- pair the breach that the Spaniards failed to enter this opening for victory. The guns of Morro Castle were silenced by the 15th of July. When the besiegers advanced upon it they found yawning in front of them an immense ditch, S0 feet deep and 40 feet wide. A narrow ridge of rock had been left to save this ditch from the action of the waves. This ridge was so very narrow that two men abreast could not cross it. Along It the miners made a daring rush and quickly burrowed themselves into the wall of the castle. The Spaniards now realiz-d their con- dition to be desperate. They resolved on a sortie. At daybreak next morning 25,000 of them climbed the hills and made three attacks upon our posts. Our troops, though surprised. stood their ground resolutely. General Keppel then charged the dons and drove them down the hill in con- fusion. Some got to their boats and many were drowned in trying to reach Havana. The Spanish loss in this sally was 485 men. It was in this charge that the North Americans specially distin- guished themselves. A battalion of them were in the rush that forced the dons to take water. On the 30th of July the mines were sprung under the right bastion. A part of the wall fell in, but it was hardly wide enough to admit one man at a time. General Keppel ordered the as- sault at once. Lieutenant Forbes led it. The soldiers swiftly passed in single file along the ridge and scrambled up the steep and narrow opening in the wall. Reaching the top their formation was prompt and intrepid. The Span- ish had been drawn up to receive them, 1but surprised by the resolute courage of their assailants, they soon fled on every side, making but one stand against a small traverse thrown up by one of the bastions. The Marquis de Gonzales was killed while vainly at- tempting to rally his men. Don Luis de Velasco, the Governor of Morro Castle, gathered a hundred men in an entrenchment he had made round his colors. He disdained to call for quarter, and, receiving a mortal wound, he fell offering his sword to the con- querors. His heroism was recognized by both the Spanish and the English. Lord Albemarle described him as “a gallant man” to the Duke of Cumber- land, and Spain created his son Viz- conde del Morro, and ordered that in the Spanish navy there should always be a vessel named Velasco. The victors next turned their atten- | tion to the capture of the town of Ha- vana. They planted sixty guns on an eminence that commanded the city. Juan de Prado. Governor of the place, was summoned to surrender on the 10th of August. He proudly refused. At daybreak on the 11th, at the sign of a rocket, the batteries opened. At noon the dons had enough. At 2 o’clock Ha- vana was hung with flags of truce. On the 12th the terms of capitulation were settled. The Spaniards in recognition of their plucky defense were allowed to march out with military honor. The booty of the conquerors was im- mense, there being $14,000.000 of the Spanish King’s treasure in Havana. Lord Albemarle’s share of the prize money was over half a million dollars. Havana was restored to Spain in 1763, and so the victors only held it a few months.
