than any other state in the Union. She
stood on tho border in 1861. She sunt
the first volunteer defenders to the im
periled oapital in the crisis following
Sumter. Her genius ruled in the na
tional camps and councils, and within
her limits, fair set among the charming
hills of the Cumberland, lies tho battle
field of Gettysburg. Cold must be the

to tha patriotism of the Union soldier
that might be recalled today, a lees
grewsomo one to dwell upon and a more
noble one because it furnished the in
spiration for those deeds of courage
whose glory brightens as the years roll
on. It would be an easy task to prove
that the Grand Army, itself a body I
unique in the world's experience, is
not due to military clanship uor to tho
protective union principle which is so
active in this era. Tho genius of the
Grand Army lived in tho broasta of the
soldiery in the war days, and the mind
is almost startled to come upon such
witnesses to the fact as this poem of
Miles O'Reilly's, "The Song of the Sol
diers," written in camp in 1802:

Stephenson and his colleagues, who in
their bivouao in tho southwest in 1804
dreamed out their magnificent scheme
for perpetuating in peace the spirit of
fraternity, charity and loyalty which
charaoteriied the soldiers in the field.
The veterans' estimates of v thomsolves
are far too modest when they rest satis
fied with eulogies npon their battlefield
prowess and their heroio bearing under
severest hardship, and if proximity to
scenes so rich in war associations shall
unloose the tongues of Commander in
Chief-Adams and his staff of orators at
the enoampmeni they may give to the
careless yet responsive throngs of out
siders new oause to doff their hats to
the Grand Army. They will toll us how
$he soldier set the pace for Union savers
in 1861. and how, by the guiding and
shaping amid the storm and stress of
civil war of these same men, the yeo
manry, who filled, the ranks as volun
teers 80 years ago, this vast nation sprang
into existence from an aggregation of
states whose watchword until then both
north and south had been state suprema
cy. They might give voice to the claim
that the beardless boys, who, as for as
time and Confederate bullets have
spared them, will appear in the march
ing lines at Pittsburg, alone made the
war possible, alone made possible those
viotories and results which the encamp

itself by cannon peal and the "clash of

their Spartan vim, their virile, aggres
sive, unsordid and unfaltering attitude
when statesmen hesitated and civio
leaders trembled; that the war was right
and everlastingly right and must go on
and that they would stand surety for
its success,
Ead there been no volunteer army with
its blood up, no martyred Ellsworths

no Uptons, no Costers and no Sheri

fizzled out in six months for lack of en
thusiasm. This is history, and because
the veteran when all was accomplished
glided quietly back to his oommonplace
groove as a man and a neighbor, show
ing many uf the weaknesses and foibles
of the common mold, is no reason for
losing sight of the grander part of him.
A slice of Napoleon's high minded phi
losophy would suit the occasion.
"I remember nothing but Austerlitz, "
ho said when people complained to him
truthfully that his old marshal, Soult,
who had mado Napoleon and France by
his wonderful genius and valor on that
field, was becoming ambitious and solf
important. "As ho fought thon think
of him," and there will bo no room for
too familiar trifles to break tho spell of
distance.
THE G. A. R. IN THE FUTURE.
Tho veterans passed the half century
point soino years ago. Haw long will
they remain upon the stage in sufficient
numbers to givo spirit to ceremonies
commemorating the qivil war? Twenty
years from now we shall be celebrating
the centennial of the victories at Lun
dy's Lauo, Lake Champlain and Balti
more; also that of Jackson over Paken
ham at New Orleans, and about that
time the semicentennial of tho closing
battles of the civil $var. Is it a daring
assumption to prcsumo that there will
then be living twice as many Union
veterans as tliero were boys in blue on
any of tho battlefields of 1801-5? There
are good grounds for believing that such
will be the caso.
There were about 2,000,000 individ
uals recruited for tho Union armies, of
which number 800,000 (official figures)
died in service, and at least 40,000 died
after discharge during tho war who are
not included in tho government statis
tics. At the close of the war, then, in
1805, thero were living about 1,000,000
veterans averaging about 26 years of
age. At the average rate for men in
health the number would decrease in
30 years about 480,000, leaving 1,120,-
000 survivors in 1894. About four years
ago the pension and Grand Army roles
and the rosters of veteran associations
showed 1,330,000 survivors, but part of
tho figures were not trustworthy, and
a revision of them, together with the
deaths of the past five years, has
brought tho number down to 1,000,000.
In other words, thero have been 600,000
deaths in 80 years, an increase of tho
usual mortuary rate. But if there are
only a million loft, these being of ad
vanced, ago ond the mortuary rate has
been excessive thus far, does that argue
against marshaling an army of them 20
years hence? Their average ages now
are about 50. The death report of the
departments of Michigan and New York
for 1893 and of tho national encamp
nient for the wholo United States for
1893 shows that the mortuary rate, is
less than tho average recognized by in
surance actuaries.
The Michigan report for 20, 000 vetor
ans, averaging 55 years, showed a mor
tality of 15 to 1,000, that of New York
a rate of 20 in 1,000 among 41,000, and
the national report for 400,000 men.'in-
eluding inmates of soldiers' homes, pre
sumably tho least healthy of the surviv
ors, a rate of 17 to 1,000. Tho average
age of the veterans in 1894 is usually
fixed at 55 by experts, and the rate of
mortality for averago men at that ago is
about 22 in 1,000. That the loss since
the war has been excessive no one will
dispute, but that naturally would occur
in tho decatlo following the soldiers
discharge. Mou wcro discharged for
wounds and diseases by the hundreds of
thousands, and no doubt death claimed
them within a fow years at a rate three
or four times greater than the average
"BOUSD ARE WE BY TIES."
tor civilians. Over 200,000 men died
from diseases in tho army, and it must
be supposed that the seeds of death were
brought out of the army by tens of
thousands of those discharged out of
hospitals or prison parole camps.
As has buen stated, the death rate is
now much under the averago for civil
lans, and the veteran at 55 or CO, or even
ot 67 which is probably tho proper age
to consider all things being equal, has
one chance in three of reaching 76 and
of taking part in the double celebration
of 1915, and each of the 200,000 or 800,
000 alive at that date will nave one
chance in flvo of reaching tho age of 86
as one of the 40.000 or 60,000 survivors.
At tho present time there is about one
veteran in every 0 inhabitants, old
aud young, or in every 12 adult men,
and at that date, if the population in
creases normally, there will be one to
every 1,700 people or every 850 adult
men that is to say that in the average
gathering of 850 men at a patriotio
meeting or on election there will be one
tottering veteran of 86 years. Not much
chance for G. A. E. gatherings then,
surely, except in the great cities. The
record of longevity among tho veterans
of the war of 1813 and of the Mexican
war instalnB these calculations, and this
thought has been carried still further by
a writer in the Washington Post, who
sees the dramatio and interesting climax
a generation beyond that I have-Jhinted
at, or at the middle of the next century,
witn the centennial days of the Mexi
can war, the discovery of gold and the
conquest oi California. Heiayt:
U i 1,
Herein re we admonished by nnseen lips
and Innumerable voices that the day will some
time dawn when of all the Grand Army of the
Republic, now year by year closing in thinner
ranks around the craves of their departed com
rades, thero shall be bnt one survivor to staud
lonewatoU at the portals of tho "eternal camp-
lug ground."
It is an impressive If not bewildering thought
It carries ns to a period when the millions of
today shall be doubled, and when among the
teeming host bmded with their own ambi
tions, confronted with new responsibilities,
radiant In the light of new revelations, stran
gers, except through history, to tho mighty
events out or which so glorious a destiny was
wrought, this solitary soldier shall be tho sole
reminder and Incarnation, as It were, of the
heroio age of the Union.
Tho war of the American Revolution closed
In 1783. At that time a soldier belonging to
the regiment of New York militia commanded
by Colonel Marlnns Willett, who had been
four years In the army, was a young man of
E3. Eighty-six yean later, April 6, 1809, having
reaohed the great age of 109, he was gathered
to his heroio fathers at the town of Freedom
(not inaptly named), Cattaraugus county, X. Y.
His name was Daniel F. Bakeman, and he was
the last of the Revolutionary pensioners under
special act of congress.
The last of the Revolutionary pensioners on
the regular roll was Samuel Downing of Sara
toga county, N. Y., who enlisted as a private In
1780, when only li, and died In 1867 at 101.
Only SO. years ago there walked among ns
one who bore a musket at tho surrender of
Cornwallls, yet lived to hear the tidings of the
suriender at Appomattox!
These Incidents furnish no data, of course.
on which to base exact foreknowledge of the
time when there shall remain In the land of
the living only a single soldier of the great ar
mies that wcro disbanded in 1S65, but it is not
unreasonable to suppose that, evon If none of
tho veterans of the war Is spared to the extraor
dinary age of Danlol Bakeman, it will lie re
served to some of them to turn the century
point. If there Is a soldier who, like Bninucl
Downing, was but 17 when discharged from the
servieo, and HveB to Downing's age, he will dlo
lnllHO. If 23 at the time ox his discharge, and
ho lives to the fivescore and nine of Daniel
Bakeman, he will die in 1951. The chnnccB are
that the man who is destined to bear the proud
but melancholy distinction of being the last
survivor will not be living later than 1950.
And what a retrospect will be bis as, stand

Thero are treasures locked and sealed,
Never to the eye revealed;
There are songs whose hlddon flow
Mortal ear can never know.
There are flowers whose perfect hue

There are lives that stand alone,
To the outer world unknown:

GOOD MANNERS.
Jndlo Chollet on the Occult Law of Trifles
In Etiquette.
Ono of the worst bronchos of etiquette)
of which you can bo guilty Is to attempt
to teach )'onr acquaintances etiquette. If

of social equality exists between you and
her, and if she cots licr oysters with an or

rect her, unless she Han previously recog
nized you ns a guardian of hor manners.
If slio ohooses to convey ice cream to her
mouth by moans of a spoon instead of a
fork, lot her do it unmolested, tho matter
Is not of tho slightest consequence, and to
be in constant fear of transgressing soino
occult luw of ctlquetto one's self or of as
sociating with persons who do so Is to
prove ono's self not to tho manner born
and by naturo a snob. F.ven if your coun
try guest cats with her knife in public you
will prove) yourself a provincial by paying
any attention to it. It happens to bo her
custom, to which she 1ms boon reared, and
if you navo a cosmopolitan mind it will
bo too insignificant a thing to worry you.
However technically perfect your own
manners may be, they will exhibit a glar
ing deficiency if you correct thoso of other
grown persons. Besides you ore not suro
of infallibility, and It is not lmpossiblo
that you may occasionally rebuke a per
son who knows even moro on the subject
than you do and is behaving quite proper
ly in tho eyes of tho cultivated world.
When sho cats hor cliceso with her knife,
sho is merely following tho Knglish habit,
and it Is quite permissible to tuko olives,
corn, undressed lettuce and lump sugar in
tho fingers. Again, many of the actions
that you consider faulty may bo duo to
the absonco of mind engendered by lively
conversation, while others are accidents
to which anybody is liable.
Most persons whom one meets socially
have a sufficient knowledge of etiquette to
be at easo among tho people with whom
they associate, and that is all that Is neces
sary. A really well bred person nover
rests hor faith on such minute trillos as
the angle at which tho knife is loft or tho
number of crumbs to bo permitted to fall
from tho pieco of bread. Consideration
for others Is the foundation of all good
maimers, and the man or woman who
lacks that has nicro affectation in the

BITS OF GLOVE HISTORY.
They Were First Worn With a Thumb and
No Fingers.
A writer Interested in the history of the
wardrobo tells us that gloves wero not
known in England until near tho closo of
tho tenth century and wero then worn
with a thumb and no finger, liko mittens.
They wero larger in every way than they
needed to bo, and wonderously embroider-

wero finer than thoso of the clergy. They
wero mostly of whlto silk or linen, cun
ningly broidercd and somotlmes fringed
With pearls, One ecclesiastic had a red silk
pair, with tho sacred monogram worked
on tho back, surrounded with a golden
glory, and later on they had gloves to
match their different vestments. In fact,
gloves had departed from the primary idea
of utility and becomo a decoration. Thoy
wero too magnificent for common weur
and were frequently carried in the hand or
worn In tho girdle. It was by tho fine
gloves his page hud in his girdlo thut Cceur

to Blgnlfy his Intention to protect a town
he sent his glovo as a sure sign of his will
