A Plea for a Pension.

The Adjutant General received queer
letter from an old soldier yesterday,
which stated that before the writer Joined
the army he had been member Of the
church and Of the Sunday school, and q
person Of good moral character" But
in the army he had become demoralized.
He says he lies, "sw ares" and even
steals, and 10 . victim Of other bad "hab-
bits" He advances the proposition,
which seems reasonable enough, that
when the Government hires man to
fight yor il, it is bound to return him to
civil life in ~ good condition, morally
and fisioally," as it took hin. But ash
character is utterly and irrstrievably
ruined, he thinks it no more than right
that the United States should give him
q pension. II there is no law covering
his cuss, he suggest that the Adjutant-
General use his influence to have one
passed, as he would "defe" any man to
associate with guardhouse bummers and
mule drivers and return to his home un-
blemished. He recognizes one grave
difficulty, and that is, II placed upon the
witness stand to testify to his own bad
''morral" character he is such liar that
his own testimony could be easily and
successfully impeached. The Adjutant.
General has net yet sisni6ed whether he
will apply fer pension or not. Mime.

Tortilla Making.

In the centre of the kitchen stands its
most important factor, the metate, for
tortilla. making. 1t is followed stone
the size of an ordinary bread bowl, hav.
ing two stone legs about six inches high,
at one end, which inclines to an angle of

on the dirt floor at the elevated end Of
the metate, and, the corn having previ.
ously been boiled in weak lye, and st Il
quite wet, she crushes it into paste with
. stone rolling pin, the mixture gradu-
ally sliding down the inclined plane into

quantity has been thus crushed it is
rolled into balls and left until required
1t is astonishing what an amount of
corn family of ordinary size will con-
sumo in a day, in the form Of tortillas,
the Mexican "staff of life.
When a meal is on the tapis, the last
act in the dramatic tragedy, we feel
inclined to say. when suffering the after
pangs Of indigestion--is to heat the grid
die, or more commonly smooth fiat
stone. Then the cook takes q very
small lump at once of the prepared corn
paste and shapes it into thin round
cakes, with a little water and much
loud spatting Of the hands. with q sound
exactly like spanking babies. The cakes
are then baked brown in a jiffy, and, as
q substitute for bread, one might 20
further and fare great deal worse than
subsist on tortillas. - Tonnie Briohar
