Record Corrected.

S. j. Demar, an inmate of the YER
mont Soldiers Home, has had his mill
tary record at Washington recently
corrected, removing a charge of deser-
ton, after struggle of more than two
years. He first discovered the charge
of desertion after making application
for pension. Under General Blacks
administration his pension could not be
granted until the record had been cor
rected, and he had to go to the Soldiers
Home. He has brilliant record and suf-
fered from wounds, and also from con-
finement in rebel prison. He enlisted
in 1861 in the Fifth Vermont and was
wounded and captured at the battle of
Savage Station, Virginia, June 20, 1862.
He was exchanged in season to take
part in the battle of Antietam, where
he was severely wounded. After his
recovery he re-enlisted as a veteran and
was wounded the third time at the bat
tie of Spottsylvania and sent to a
hospital for treatment, and did not re-
turn to his regiment. He resided in
Chicago, H., for several years after the
close of the war. He will probably
have no tronble now in completing his
claim for pension.

A BILL has been introduced in con-
gress providing for the discontinuance
of the payment of pensions to parties
residing permanently out of the United
States.
GENERAL BUTLER has finally been
beaten in his suit with the National
Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
We believe the amount of the judgment
that the general will have to pay is
something over $4,000.
THE Minnesota legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 for the relief of INDECENT
soldiers in the state, which sum is to be
expended by a board. Every applicant,
if worthy of aid, is allowed so a month.
In case of sickness medical service is
provided.
MORE than one hundred bills have
been introduced in congress at the pres
ent session to regulate the pay and eX-
penses of pension surgeons. The out
look is that congress will do something
before it adiourns to increase the pay of
these deserving officials.

Frozen Plants.

AT this season of the year it is well
to repeat the rule for the treatment of
plants which have become frost-bitten.
That rule is: Remove them to a
dark, cool room, shower them with cold
water and leave them there until the
frost is drawn from the plants. If this
treatment is given them it is often pos
sible to save quite tender varieties.
But where they are thawed out by fire
heat, as is generally the case, they will
be quite sure to die. The room to
which they are removed and the water
which is applied to them must be cool,
never warm. The fact should be fully
understood that it is not so much freez-
ing that Injuries plant as it is the sud
den change from one extreme to
another. If placed where they can be-
come warm gradually the frost leaves
them by such insensible degrees that
no very violent reaction takes place.
That the room should be dark is inn
portant, for the light would have ten
dency to prevent, or at least to inter-
fere with, the gradual extraction of the
frost. The application of water should
be thorough and partake more of the
character of a deluge than of an ordi-
nary shower. 1t is necessary to give
them this attention as soon as it is dis
covered that they have been frosted

inmates; the National Soldiers Home
at Togus, Me-, contains 1867 inmates.


1t was an ex-confederate soldier at
Sheffield, Alabama, who was giving
some of his experiences at the battle of
Fort Donelson. He was an officer and
had young colored man for his cook.
When the confederates, or the great
bulk of them, decided after hot fight
to withdraw from the fort, the captain
looked around for his servant, but the
negro was nowhere to be seen. The
officer mounted log and called out in
loud tones for his servant, and pretty
soon was answered, but in such faint
tones that he could not for awhile To-
cate the cook. Caesar finally made it
plain that he was in the log under the
officers feet, and was ordered to come
out. "Can't do itl' he shouted in re-
ply. "Bnt you must. The fight is
over" "But 1 can't; dar's fo' white
men in this log behind mel' And
when the officer investigated he found
that such was the fact. They crawled
out, one after another, each having an
excuse to urge, and finally the darkey
appeared. The officer was about to
open on him, but Caesar protested:
Doan' say one word Dis ar de fust
time ever got ahead of a white man,
an it's gwine to be de very last. De
mex fout we have lie gwine to let de
white man hev de hull log to hisself
an I'll look for hole in de ground. y

Soldiers and Newspapers.

1--WE have grown so accustomed to
newspapers" said an old soldier,
" that those of us living in cities fail to
appreciate how necessary they are to
our comfort and contentment of mind.
Now | was in the confederate army,
and during our long campaign in the
South we rarely heard from home or
got a newspaper-and we saw few of
them but were as welcome as a square
meal to hungry man. AT the battle
of Chickamauga detachment of feder-
ais were posted behind Lee & Gordon's
mills, on the banks of the Chickamauga
river, opposite us. Our division was
ordered to charge them. We plunged
into the water and started for the
enemy. The Yankees, however, caught
us in shrewd trap. They cut down
the dam Just as we were in the middle
of the stream, and torrent of water
came down upon us. 1t came up to our
waists and nearly swept us off our
feet. We had to hold our guns above
our heads in order to keep them dry,
and you know that wading through
deep water is slow work. The enemy,
in the meantime, were firing upon us,
but we managed to plunge through the
water and reach the bank. Just as L
climbed up it | saw lying upon the
ground copy of the Louisville Journal.
1t was only two days old and entirely I'M
soiled. | stopped down in the middle
of the charge, under the hottest kind of
a fire, and folding up that paper put it
in my pocket. We drove the Yankees
out of the mills, and after the battle
was over sat down and read the paper,
advertisements and all, with the most
intense pleasure. 1t passed from one
soldier TO another, and they read it
until it was so badly worn that the let
tiers could no longer be deciphered. y

Sherman on Grant at SpOttsylvania.

In the February Century General
Sherman contributes an article on Z" The
Grand Strategy of the War;" from
which we quote the following: with
the month of May came the season for
action, and by the 4th all his armies
were in motion. The army of Butler
at Fort Monroe was his left, Meade's
army the center and Sherman at Chat
tanooga his right. Butler was to move
against Richmond on the south of
James river, Meade straight against
Lee, intrenched behind the Rapidan,
and push him to and beyond Atlanta.
This was as far as human foresight
could penetrate. Though Meade COM
manded the Army of the Potomac, Gen
eral Grant substantially controlled it,
and on the 4th of May, 1864, he crossed
the Rapidan, and at noon next day at
tackled Lee. He knew that a certain
amount of fighting, killing had to
be done to accomplish his end and
also to pay the penalty of former
failures. In the Wilderness there
was no room for grand strategy or even
minor tactics, but the fighting was des-
perate, the losses to the Union army
being, according to Phisterer, 37,737,
to the confederate loss of IL ,400-the
difference due to Lees intrenchments
and the blind nature of the country in
which the battle was fought. On the
night of May 9TH both parties paused,
appalled, by the fearful slaughter, but
General Grant commanded Forward
by the left flank That was, in my
judgment, the supreme moment of his
life. Undismayed, with full compre-
hension of the importance of the work
in which he was engaged, feeling as
keen a sympathy for his dead and
wounded as any one, and without stop
ping to count his numbers, he gave his
orders calmly, specifically and abso-
lutely-' forward to Spottsylvania.' ,"

Care of the Hands.

There are not nearly so many secrets
in hand treatment as people imagine.
A little ammonia or boraX in the water
you wash your hands with and the
water Just lukewarm will keep the skin
clean and soft. A little oatmeal mixed
with the water will whiten the hands.
Many people use glycerine on their
hands when they go to bed, wearing
gloves to keep the bedding clean, but
glycerine does not agree with every
one. 1t makes some skins harsh and
red. These people should rub their
hands with dry oatmeal and wear
gloves in bed The best preparation
for the hands at night is the white of
egg with grain of alum dissolved in
it. Quacks have n fancy name for it,
but all can make it and spread it over
their hands and the job is done. They
also make the Roman toilet paste. 1t
is merely white of egg, barley flour and
honey. They say it was used by the
Romans in oiden times. Any way it is
a first-rate thing, but it is sticky sort
of stuff to use and does not do the
work any better than oatmeal. The
toughest and hardest hands can be
made soft and white in months time
by doctoring them little at bedtime,
and all the tools you need are nail
brush, bottle of ammonia, box of
powdered borax and little fine white
sand to rub the stains off, or cut of
lemon will do even better, for the acid
of the lemon will clean anything

Questions Answered.

E. W., LYNDoNvILLE.-A notary
public appointed by the judges of
the county court can administer oaths
anywhere in the state. His juris-
diction is not confined to the county
where appointed, like justice of the
peace, who is not authorized to do bust
ness out of the county where elected.
G. d. N, BERLIN.-If you become an
inmate of the Soldiers Home at Ben
nington and receive a pension the pen
sion is given to the Home only while
you remain in it. You are not obliged
to remain any particular period of time
but can leave the Home at pleasure.
The inmates are so well cared for at
the Vermont Home they do not wish to
leave it, and several of the veterans
now there are willing to give their pen.
sions for the comforts the Home affords.
J. B. E., HUNTINGToN.-The So
called dependent pension bill that the
president vetoed last year has been
amended so as to provide pensions for
the widows of soldiers, substantially
the same as the Edmunds bill. When
it was vetoed it did not provide for
pensions to soldiers widows. The bill
is now known as the disability" bill.
If this bill becomes law there will be
no occasion to press the Edmunds bill.
If it fails to become a law petitions to
congress asking for the passage of the
Edmunds bill will be in order.
w. S., NoRTHFIELD.-The investiga-
ton of pension claims by special ex-
aminers of the pension office is not in
tended to assist the claimant in prose-
cutting his claim. Such examinations
under the present administration are
never ordered until the claimant has
himself made out a prin,a fdcie case,
and are made to prevent the govern
ment from being imposed upon by
false, crooked or fraudulent testimony
Such investigations sometimes delay a
claim for a year or more. In Vermont
nearly all the claims are admitted after
such investigation and large percent
age of them might safely have been adj
mitted without an investigation of thai
kind.

Soldiers Homes.

Captain Robert j. Coffey, superin-
tendent of the Soldiers Home, at Ben
nington, writes, under date of January
rs, that there are thirty-two inmates in
the Soldiers Home and only eight more
beds, and that five applicants have re-
ceived notice to report. He says a
great many letters have recently been
received inquiring in regard to adj
mission, making it evident that the
applications will increase largely unless
there is some change in the pension
laws. The following is list of the in
mates of the Vermont Soldiers Home !:

Pancakes i'm Variety.

On cold winter mornings pancakes of
all kinds hold an important place at the
breakfast-table. The cherished buck
wheat cake, most prominent of all
from Thanksgiving day until early
spring, is seldom absent from the morn
ing meal in the genuine American
household. When properly made, this
is the most delicious of all the griddle-
cakes, but it has been against it when
made from yeast or risen over night
that it was difficult to make light and
sweet, and that disagreeable effects
frequently followed its eating. 1t is
found that by the use of the Royal Bak-
ing Powder to raise the batter these
objections have been entirely overcome,
and that buckwheat-cake are made
most delicious food, light, sweet, tender
and perfectly wholesome, that can be
eaten by any one without the slightest
digestive Inconvenience. Once tested
from the following recipe no other will
be used: Two cups of buckwheat, one
cup of wheat flour, two tablespoons of
Royal Baking Powder, one-half tea
spoonful of salt, all sifted well together.
Mix with milk into thin batter and
bake at once on hot griddle. -
The purest and richest syrup is made
by dissolving sugar in the proportion of
three pounds of sugar to one pint of
water. Many persons prefer the flavor
of syrup made of Orleans sugar to that
made of the white. - Rice griddle-
cakes are very delicious. The rice is
cooked until perfectly soft, drained dry
and mashed with a spoon until the
grains are well broken up. For each
cupful of rice take two eggs, one pint
of milk, one heaping tea-spoonful of
Royal Baking Powder, one-half tea
spoonful of salt, and -four enough to
make thin batter. - For hominy-
cakes take two cupfuls of cooked hom-
my and crush it with potato-masher
until it is a smooth mass. Add one
level tea-spoonful of salt, two tea
spoonfuls of Royal Baking Powder and
one cupful of flour. Stir together; then
add by degrees one quart of milk, and
lastly three well-beaten eggs. Bake in
thin cakes. Very delicate and
delicious cakes are made by allowing
two tea-spoonfuls Of Royal Baking
Powder and one-half tea-spoonful of
salt to one quart of milk, and sufficient
corn-meal, mixing all into smooth
thin batter. No eggs or butter are used
for these. The cakes bake quickly to a
rich deep brown and are extremely
tender and light. - very de-
licious sweet pancake is made by taking
one pint of sweet milk, four eggs, two
tablespoonful of powdered sugar, two
tablespoonful of melted butter, one
tea-spoonful of Royal Baking Powder
and flour enough to make moderately
thin batter. Beat the eggs, whites and
yolks separately, until well frothed
stir the butter, sugar and one cupful
of flour, into which the baking powder
has been mixed, into the yolks; then
add the milk. If needed, add more
flour. Bake in small cakes, butter each
one as it comes from the fire, place
four in pile, with very thin layers OF
any kind of sweet jelly between and
powdered sugar over the top. They
should be baked very thin and -four
served to each person.
