On the morning of April 4. at4
o'eioeik, I was awakened by the boom
Es Il grew fast aud furious. Nv faith
ef heard the noise of cannon, and AZ
ter the reports the family with me
lmmediatFiy started for Mt. Pleasant
and reached there just 10 time 10 s-e
the Flagstaff Of Ft Sumpter fall bv 3
well directed shot from FL. MOultrie.
The shouts froin Charleston could
be heard three miles aoross the water
IS the flag fell. Afier the redhOt
shots we're thrown into the doomed
fort (Sumfer), and by I o'clock the
white flag Was raised and the stesmer
Rom Charleston started for FL. SUM-
ter to receive the Yanks, who had 10
such q short time teen compelled to
vaeate this strung bold On thls
steamer was young Lieut.. Haskell,
who, on reaching the fort was pre-
rented With q piece Of slate BY q
NOrtherner. that vas broken by the
first shot Of the war. This he made
into q heart aud gave % q Young lady.
This valuable memento IA now In
Athens, IN the possession OF the writer.
When we glance back at the num-
Der Of years, and consider that the
noble Rhelt, Of Charleston, with =
few staunch men. held this fort under
the heavy fires Of the IrOnsides and
twenty steel monitors, with her bro
ken walls Of brick patched up with
sandhags, we are loath 10 be disgust
ed with the wantOn boast OF the North
eFn writers about their skill and iwaF
engineering. They could not bold
the fort 10 its perfect state bot hine
hours, yet the noble Rhett held Il I'm
is ruined condition until the war
ended. Often have I watched NJ
night the grand tut veTitable bOnl-
baFdment Of the Northern feet against
the pOOr old fort aud her noble little
garrison. The whole heavens would
be lit up with the explosions Of shells.
This, with thesheavy conclusions Of
the guns, End the noise Of the eannOns
made Il q scene never TO be forgotten,
and ss my mind Ieverts 10 those days
u seems 10 me some hOrTid chapter
from the noble writers Of fiction.

Women and Their Feet.

Women who pose as models have, as a
rule, poorly-shaped feet, ;" said an artist to a
reporter eff their feet are not poorly
shaped they are apt to be out Of proportion
by being too small. The reason is obvious.
Women are ambitious to have small feet
and hands, and at an early age they begin
TO wear tight shoes. The result is that the
feet are cramped and do not grow with the
other members of the body. Of course
there are some professional models who
began early in life and never cramped their
feet with tight shoes. They have correct
proportions. l speak generally of the mass
of women who become models after they
are Is years old Women imagine if they
have small feet and hands they have all
that is necessary to give them shapely
appearance. A worse mistake was never
made Women who are large should nat
urally have feet in proportion. From an
artistic point of view they look better. But
YOU cannot make them think so.
"a crusade ought to be waged against
wearing tight shoes. The tight shoe, in
the first place, cramps the toes together,
until they lose shape and become frescoed
with corns The foot doesn't get the free
circulation of blood in it that it should
have and falls behind III growth. The big
toe usually bears the brunt of the sin for
tight shoes, and manages to have large
lump gather just where it joins the body of
the foot. The Americans are more prone
to wear tight shoes than the English wo-
men. The French, outside of Paris, are
not devoted % the semi barbarous habit
either, and some of our finest models come
from the provinces of France. The
nobility are supposed to have small feet
and hands, but that is an erroneous i'm
preston, as many noble families | could
mention in England are noted for their
large feet. All American girls feel their
nobility, and hence the wish to have small
feet. To produce race of perfect-shaped
women a reform must be made in their
shoes, even if we have to substitute the
ancient sandal. IN. 7. Nail and Express.

Hints and Practical Recipes for the Do
mestic Circle.
[REcoRD-UsIoN Fashion correspondent.l
New YORK, December H. 1886

mestic Circle.
Boston Baked Beans.-Take one quart of
white pea beans, pick them over carefully,
and soak them over night. In the morning
put them on the back of the stove in an
iron kettle and cover them with boiling
water. After they have parboiled for hall
an hour, take up a spoonful and blow on
them; if the skin separates easily, they are
done. Put them in colander and pour a
dipperful of cold water through them.
Take deep earthen bean-pot holding two
quarts; put in some of the beans then
half pound of salt pork a streak of fat
and streak of lean" (the pork must be
washed with warm water and gashed across
the top)-then fill up with beans. Take
one teaspoonful Of salt, half teaspoonful
of mustard, and two teaspoonfuls of mo-
lasses dissolve in hot water and pour over
the beans; then fill the pot with hot water.
They must bake six hours, and as much
longer as you please. Whenever the water
cooks away, fill the pot again, until nearly
done; then let the water cook away.
Steaming Oatmeal.-For the benefit OF
those who are trying to like oatmeal
when prepared the ordinary way, by stir
ring it into paste, and not succeeding as
well. perhaps, as they would like, desire
to give my method of preparing it. / use
the oatmeal which is in the kernels-not
the rolled variety and for our family Of
three grown people take a tescupful and
a half. put that quantity in a basin in
the evening, and add pinch of salt and
pour on Just enough cold water to cover it
BY morning the oatmeal has absorbed the
water entirely. | then put the basin in 8
steamer and cook for half an hour. / try
ii by thrusting in spoon, and when the
