about the doors and windows, around tho
rates and upon the ycrandahs, most of whom
were decorated Will, Union flags about their
persons. One young lady who stood near the
street had tremendous one stretched across
her bosom. One Of Hoods Texans saw it,
stopped, and leaning his chin upon the n,ux-
zlc of his gun, eyed it for few moments and
then said
Miss, advise you to take downt that flag

tut and nutritive food may be pre-
pared by boiling wheat to be eaten
with milk or molasses-the former
to be preferred when attainable. 1t
Is a first rate thing for children,
while adults may use it to advan-
tage. Some have the wheat cracked
IN mill before using, which is per-
haps the preferable plan, but it will
answer well without this preparation.
A lady correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer says, "The wheat should be
cracked in a mill Take one quart
and put it into a half pot of warn
water; and let it stand upon the stove
several hours then boil slowly, and
stir it occasionally. till it becomes
THICK put in handful of salt. For
children it can be used with milk. If
left standing till cool, it is very nice
to cut in slices, and use with cream
and sugar, or fry it like mush; the
last mentioned | prefer for general
use, bat It can be prepared in various
ways" If boiled whole, the wheat
should be allowed to soak in tepid
water before boiling, that the grain
may have a chance to soften and
swell When properly boiled use
with milk suitably seasoned with salt
and pepper and it will be found
nogrishng, healthful and palatable
dish.
