The BAYoNET VERSUS THE BOLLET.--ln

Generals Skobeleff and Gourkho exhorted the
men under their command to be sparlng OF
their cartridges, and to endeavor to restore to
the bayonet its former renowu. "A German

sian alliance out of the way. As to the
direct advance upon Constansinople,
f"t there is good deal to be said upon
both sides of the question:" The blood
of the Turks is up, they were never over
particular in these matters, and they
may be depended upon to leave the
country, as they retreat through it, n
smoking waste. They hold the Black
Sea, nor can its control be wrested from
them, and thus the Russians must de-
pend upon alimentation upon the single
line of Roumanian railway. In 1929
Dieblitsch entered Adrianople with a
shadow of an army, and dictated a peace
that would have done credit to veteran
poker-player reverent of the powers of
bluff. Turkeys fleet had just been de-
stroyed at Nayarino, her janissaries had
been wiped out, Russia commanded
both seas, and threw 100, 900 men across
the Danube. Braila held out forty-four
days; Varna was only won by Youssouf
Pasha's treason; Silistria fell after
long siege in the second campaign. BY
uncomfortable negligence the Balkan
passes were not fortified, and Dieblitsch,
springing upon these, reached Adria-
nople with 10000 men, "Had," says
Won Moltke, {. the Turkish General had
a trifie more resolution and energy they
would have precipitated Dieblitsch from
the heights of victory and success to the
abyss of ruin and destruction.
According to Won Moltke's estimate,
100000 men are wanted for such cam
paign-70, 900 to mask Shumia, Varna
and other fortified posts, and $4,000 to
do the fighting with. The great strate-
gist's estimate allows for a Russian fleet
to command the Euxine, land supplies
at eligible points, cover the flank of the
army and assist in the final attack upon
Constantinople. In the actual condition
of things Turkey holds the Black Sea,
and not only neutralizes all these adyan-
tages, but keeps open the food commu-
nications of the capital. Hence, despite
the elaborate preparations of the Rus
slams, we are not prepared to expect any
thing but financial collapse to preeipi-
tate calamity upon the Turks

Come the duh echoes of ar-away thunders,
Heavy and fast a. the shots Of a gun.
Up on the hill where the wild flowers nestle
Like fallen stars on the green, messy

There comes the dead notes of the house

The sound OF the carpet Is heard in the land.
Up for the song birds their mathis arc sing

Up, for the morning is tinting the skies;
Up, for the good wife the switches is bringing
out TO the line where the hall carpet flies.
Up and awayi for the carpet is dusty;

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

RICE MUFFINs. l cup of cold
boiled rice, pint of flour, 2 eggs, l
quart of milk, tablespoonful of butter,
and little salt. Beat hard and bake
quickly.
RICE CAKES Take l cup of cold
boiled rice, pint of flour, teaspoon
full of salt, 2 egg beaten lightly, and milk
to make this thick batter. Beat all
well together, and bake on griddle.
How TO Cook EGGs.-Instead of boil
ing new-laid eggs, pour boiling water
upon them, and set them in a warm
place for 10 minutes. Do not let them
come to boil, but keep at nearly boil
ing point, and they will be soft, creamy,
deliciously jellied, and easily enough
digeSted for an invalid.
Potato CROQUETS.-BOil and mash
potatoes when hot, and add piece of
butter the size of an egg, a teaspOOnful
of white powdered sugar, salt, and
well beaten eggs; mix well together, and
then make into small cone or pear
shaped pieces; let them stand till quite
cold; then dip them into raw egg and
bread-crumbs-plenty of the latter-and
fry in boiling lard.
LEMON MERINGUE PIE.-BOil
lemons until they are soft enough for a
straw to penetrate the rind; mash them
up fine with a tablespoonful of butter,
1 ID cups of powdered sugar, and the
yelks of eggs; make thin crust; put
in the mixture and bake it; when cool
beat NY the whites of the eggs with l
- cups of powdered sugar and spread
it over the pie; brown it nice color.

passenger who stepped down and out
was an elderly female, who, the mo-
