.1rnes's Galatz correspondent, reviewing
the situation, says: q do not believe the
Russians viii at present attempt anything
beyond occupying certain strategic points
for the purpose Of protecting railway
bridges and crossings Of the Danube against
Turkish cavalry raids. Delay is good policy
for Russia, as the Turks have already
placed every man they can muster in the
field, while the Russians can constantly in
crease their army up to the moment OF ac-
ton. Nevertheless, Russian general re-
Gently informed a friend OF mine that the
Russians were fully prepared to sacrilice
10000 in forcing the passage OF the Danube
should circumstances compel them TO I'M
mediate action"

tartar; slowly add flour enough to make
thick batter; at the last add pint of
any kind of berries, well sprinkled with

mold, or, if you have no mold, q Toured
cloth will do; after the pudding has
boiled hard for hour, remove it from

Oatmeal Crackers.-1 teacupful oat-
meal and enough tepid water to wet and
make into dough; mix well and quick;
the harder the dough the better; if it
will bear to be rolled out with the roll
ing-pin, begin to roll it, stopping to
press the ragged edges with your fingers;
keep at it in the same way till it is or
I of an inch thick; be quick about it or
it will get too dry under your hands;
make only dough enough at time for
l cracker; do not brown it any in bak-
ing; it will be good for months if you
put it in your oatmeal barrel and cover
it with meal.

from the cob, and put in sufficient water
to cook; put the acid in while the corn

Excursion forSick Children.

The excursion of the floating Hospi-
tai of st. Johns Guild took place yes
terday. The barge, filled with motley
crowd of children, started from the foot
of East Twenty-third Street. At pier
No. 80, North River, large numbers
were in waiting, and the scene present
ed can scarcely be imagined by those
who have never witnessed the delight Of
sick children, just escaped from ill-ven-
tilated tenements, at the prospect of
sail, plenty to eat, and the treat of lis
tening to pleasant music. After start
ing down the bay the sick children were
made comfortable, those in the worst
condition being placed in cribs on the
lower deck. Three physicians exam
ined the children and prescribed for
them. Beef tea and stimulants were Civ
EN- out freely. There We're few very Sick
ones on the barge. The cool weather
has done much to keep the disease in
check Breakfast was served to the
mothers and children, who ate raven
ously. Plenty of hominy. milk, bread,
crackers and tea were given for this
meal, while for dinner, which was held
from until 3 p. m, there were furnish
ed roast beef, stew with potatoes, and
bread, milk and tea. Three hundred
quarts of milk were used for 800 pas
sengers. Several of the women declared
it was their first regular meal in months.
Each excursion cost $3.50. Fourteen
excursion are already subscribed for by
business houses of the city. Yesterdays
trip was paid for by Mrs. Theodore
Moss, who has always proved = gener-
Gus friend to the society. These excur-
sions will be held on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday of each week. Among
the prominent physicians who will ac-
company them are Drs. Fordyce Bark Z
er, E. G. Janeway, A. jacob, K. C. Sc
gum, F. Leroy Satterlee and r. F. Weir.
