Prominent West Pointers in Their

Youth.
 From the St. Louis G1ebe-DemocratI
 The value of thorough training in the sci encs of war has been too often demonstrated to be questioned. At the close of the Mexi- can war General Scott. who was not a gradu- ate of West Point, said 'I give it as my fixed opinion that but for our graduated ca dets the war between the United States and Mexico might, and probably would, have lasted some four or five years, with, in it's first half, more defeats than victories falling to our share whereas in less than two cam- paigns we conquered 8 great country and 8 peace, without the loss of single battle or a skirmish." During the late civil war the generals on both sides who achieved distinc- tion were, with rare exceptions, graduates of the West Point Academy. A very large num- Der of the cadets. after having served the term required by law, drop back into civil life, but there were few classes before the war which did not contain the names of men who have acquired fame Among those who were at the academy in my time were Penn berton, Bragg, Beauregard, Thomas, HaIleck, Hardee, Mcdowell, Meigs and A. J. Smith. The late Major Turner and Bob Renick, of this city, both were there. I remember Penn berton as a handsome boy with black curly hair genial, companionable, and with de- cided talent for drawing and painting. Pos sibly he would have made greater name as an artist than he did as 8 soldier. He was a PhiIedeIphian, and married 8 young lady from Norfolk, Va, and during the late war he linked his fortunes with the South.
 Thomas was martial looking young man, about six feet two inches. As he and were the biggest in the class, he was my file leader for about two years. There was no nonsense about him. He attended strictly to business and was model soldier. A Virginian by birth, he married Troy girl, and when the war came on he took the Union side. Rath- CT suggestive of the influence of Q wife. However, Bob Chilton, Lees adjutant- gene ral, was southern man who married a Mich- igan girl, the daughter of Governor Mason; and she was rather the more rebellious of the two: but her ancestors were Virginians which may account for it.
 Bragg prided himself on being the ueliest

 Sherman PIatt Found In Bridgeport. ..
 strange man was seen standing around at the depot in Bridgeport Tuesday after noon, and he was noticed to act in peculiar manner at times. In the evening he made his appearance again and was taken to the police station where all efforts to make him speak were unsuccessful. It was not sus- pected at the time who he was, but Mir. D.. N. Morgan called yesterday morning and identified him as Sherman Platt, of Newtown, who has been in stupor or lethargy since last fall, of whom long accounts have appeared in the newspapers. He evidently had come down the road alone either on the cars or afoot, probably the lat ter number of physicians and many citi- zens interviewed MT. Platt yesterday morn ing at the station house, but failed to get an- sWers to their interrogations. He obeyed mechanically several requests that were made which gave evidence that he understood what was said to him. He was told to take drink of coffee to eat 8 roll, to fill his pipe and to draw on it that it should not go out, all of which he did when solicited. During the forenoon MT. w. y. Dick of Newtown and in the afternoon the father of the afflicted man came down to take him home. Mir. Platt said his son had been in Hawleyville as he supposed since Monday and had probably wandered from there to this city.

Household Hints,

CHARLOTTE russo may be varied by
adding chocolate to the custard.
A LUMP of alum dissolved in the water
IN which you wash light blue stockings
will prevent their fading.
A DELICATE way to vary the invalid's
daily toast is to heat little clear. sweet
cream AID zip the toast into it.
SUMNER squash dipped in batter and
fried brown is a good substitute for egg
plant: Season with pepper and salt and
serve hot,
LITTLE wafer like cakes to eat with
chocolate or cocoa are made of two eggs,
three tablespoonful of sugar. one table
spoonful of butter, with -four enough to
make stiff dough; roll them very thin,
cut IN strips, and bake in quick oven.
IMPERFECT sweet apples, which are
not suitable to bake whole, may be made
delicious dish. Pare and slice the
best part of the apples, put them in
pudding-dish, add enough water to
cover them; when tender servo with
sugar and cream.
NICE breakfast cakes, to be baked in
muffin tins, are made of one cup of
wheat flour and one cup of Graham
flour, little salt, one egg beaten very
light, sweet milk enough to make thin
batter. The irons must be hot before
putting the batter in.
FRlTrERs made of batter of milk and
flour, with one egg, are transformed into
delicate side dish by the addition of
some boiled peas, mashed soft, and
highly seasoned with pepper and salt.
These are excellent with fowls of any
kind, or with roast lamb.

kkaisinR Calves

Ii there is anything our dairymen are
not doing, as rule, says a Wisconsin
exchange, it Is raising their calves. AS
an illustration take Jefferson County,
which has, all told, about 10000 COWS.
1t is safe to estimate that fully three
fourths of the number bore calves this
season. Yet from the best data we can
obtain we 30 not believe that more than
5000 calves will be raised in the entire
county. Oar farmers are blind to the
immense waste of wealth that is going
on in this direction. By the use of q
thin oat meal Cruel, slightly soured,
three calves can be easily and handsome
ly raised on the skim milk of one COW.
That is, we would give each calf a third
ration of skim milk twice day, and
from one to two quarts of thin oat meal
cruel in the milk as often. We have
tried this way of raising calves, and
know whereof we speak. A farmer
with herd of twenty-five cows in this
way could make butter and carry sew
enty-fv nice heifer calves, that he cap
buy in the spring for ST to $3.50 per
head, for there are foolish farmers
enough to sell the wise ones all the
calves they want. The skim milk and
50 worth of oatmeal to each calf will
turn out in the fall seventy-fve nice
heifers, worth $40 apiece easily. There
is an immense demand for young stock
from Montana, Idaho, Colorado. and
other grazing points, as we'll as from
dairy districts, yet our farmers as rule
are jogging along totally Indifferent to
this waste of wealth. Here is another
case of Brains vs.. Hands.
