been selected by the Governor of Virginia
to take charge of that most delicate and
dangerous diplomatic mission to the In
dian chiefs and the French commander at
Venango. Consummate knowledge of hui
man nature as well as of woodcraft, cour-
age that no threats could daunt and a
clear intelligence that no treachery could
hoodwink, were the qualities absolutely
demanded by such an undertaking yet the
young man acquitted himself of his peril
GUS task not merely with credit, but with
splendor. As regards book lore, his edu-
cation had been but meager, yet he pos
sessed in the very highest degree the rare
faculty of discerning the essential facts in
every case, and interpreting them correctly.
In the Continental Congress there sat
many who were superior to him in learn
ing and eloquence; but eff" said Patrick
Henry, "you speak of solid information
and sound judgment, Colonel Washington
is unquestionably the greatest man upon
that floor" Thus did that wonderful bal
ance of mind-so great that in his whole
career it would be hard to point out a
single mistake-already impress his ablest
contemporaries.
Hand in hand with this rare soundness
of judgment there went completeness of
moral selfcontrol which was all the more
impressive inasmuch as Washington's was
by no means as tame or commonplace ma
ture, such as ordinary power of will would
suffice to guide. He was man of intense
and fiery passions. His anger, when once
aroused, had in it something so terrible
that strong men were cowed by it like
frightened children. This prodigious ami
NAL nature was habitually curbed by
will Of iron, and held in the service of a
sweet and tender soul, into which no mean
or unworthy thought had ever entered.
Whole-souled devotion to public duty, an
incorruptible integrity, which no appeal to
ambition or vanity could for moment So
licit-these were attributes of Washington
as well as his clearness of mind and his
strength of purpose. And it was in no I'M
worthy temple that nature had enshrined
this great spirit. His lofty stature Tex
ceeding six feet, his grave and handsome
face, his noble bearing and courtliness of
manner, all proclaimed in Washington a
king of men,

COOKING CEREALS.
Rules and Observations Necessary for
Most Successful Rssulfs


Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, in an article
upon this subject, in recent number Of
Good Housekeeping, says: The ordinary
directions for cooking cereals, specifying
so much liquid for a capful of grain, is
very misleading and apt to result in In
ferior food, since there is such a great
variation In the size of the cups
The main secret in the preparation Of
vegetables is thorough cooking, and this
necessltates cooking them slowly, in a
proper quantity of liquid, for considera-
BILE length of time. A great deal has been
written about preparing mushes for the
table in from two to twenty minutes, and
many cooks serve them prepared in that
length of time, but all cereals are more
dlgestible and much finer flavor when
thoroughly cooked.
The amount of liquid necessary for
cooking cereals properly, and also the
length of time required, depends greatly
on the nature of the cereal, and the
method 1t has been ground or milled. The
directions below will be found to be APP
proxlmately accurate as regards the pro-
portions of grain and liquid to be used
and the length of time required to per
fectly cook the following grains and grain
products:
Feared Wheat-Five measures Of
liquid to each measure of wheat. Cook
from four TO six hours.
Pearled Barley.-Five measures ofliquid
to each measure of barley. Cook from
four to six hours.
Coarse acknowledgements of liquid
to each measure of hominy. Cook from
six to ten hours.
Fine Hominy.-Four measures of liquid
to each measure of hominy. Cook from
four TO six hours.
Coarse Oatmeal. = Four measures OF
liquid to each measure of oatmeal. Cook
from four to six hours.
Rolled Oats (Avena) Three measures
of liquid to each measure of oats. Cook
an hour
Rolled Wheat = Three measures OF
liquid to each measure of wheat. Cook
two hours.
Rolled Barley. = Three measures Of
liquid to each measure of barley. Cook
two hours.
Rice.-Three measures of liquid to each
measure OF rice. Cook an hour.
Farina.-Six meas ures of LIQUID to each
measure of farina. Cook from half an
hour to an hour.
Cerealine Flakes.-One measure of liquid
to each measure of cerealine. Cook hall
an hour
Water alone can be used for cooking any
OF the cereals, but most of them are richer
and finer-favored when the liquid used is
milk and water, mixed in about equal pro.
portions. Especially is this the case with
barley, rice, hominy and farina.

WOMEN AT LUNCH.
1t Takes Good While to Order, But
They Enjoy 1t.

They Enjoy 1t.
How many men realize what lunch
down town means to a woman? No wonder
SO many dainty cafes flourish. A midday
repast away from home, in the midst of the
destinations of shopping tour, is picnic
to the average woman. Indeed, it is posi-
lively amazing to see the amount of time
consumed and the fun extracted by two
little women bent upon good time
Just look Here come two now, full of
plans and bubbling over with high spirits
and hungry as bears. Up rushes the obse-
quious waiter. Surely such busting, rush
ing creatures have no time to waste on a
commonplace lunch. All then, you have
made your mistake. A woman may get
impatient at any time if kept waiting, but
never when studying her favorite menu
She must have something never seen at
home; hence careful survey of each
article and the price attached thereto.
Bustle and hurry are all over. They are
safely settled, and now the poor, weary
waiter, after hurriedly relieving them of
parasols, account book, pencils, shopping
bags, and bundles innumerable, braces
himself for the ordeal. The heads go to-
gether
Now, which do you prefer, fried oys-
tiers or chicken salad"
"Whats the price?'
Not much difference"
ooh, salad, by all means"
"Do you think so? Wouldn't you rather
have croquette?
Then follow long, whispered consulta-
ton, and many "reminiscences of these
dishes attempted at home. At last the
great question is settled, and off rushes the
waiter with beaming countenance to fill
the order. But, alas his hopes are dashed
by hesitating voice calling: "Wait a
minute, wait minute; we think instead
of tea we will take Coffee"
And again that despairing look creeps
over his face as another discussion seems
imminent, but happily this time it is of short
duration, and he is off again. In the
meantime gloves are removed, bags opened,
samples displayed, and when the garcon
reappears it Is to find the table piled with
odds and ends. With sigh he drops his
tray and proceeds to brace himself until
the debris has been swept from view.
ALI row begins the picnic. Can it be
possible that one order of chicken salad,
bread, butter and coffee can so absorb
the mind of two such ethereal be-
ings? A man would have ordered his
chop. eaten it and have disappeared long
before the waiter upon these fair creatures
had vanished into the mysteries of the
kitchen.
There is nothing that more strongly ap-
peals to mans admiration than to see a
woman at her noon lunch thoroughly en-
jioying a consomme and juicy beef steak
but such orders are rare.-Philadelphia In

WASHINGTON AS COMMANDER.
His Early Military Service Leading To
His Distinguished Leadership.

His Distinguished Leadership.
John Fiske, in the Ataatic Monthly,
writes: without any serious opposition,
in the name of the "united colonies" the
Congress adopted the army of New Eng
land men besieging Boston as the "Conti-
mental Army" and proceeded to appoint a
Commander-in-C Chief to direct its opera
tions. Practically, this was the most i'm
portant step taken in The whole course of
the war of independence and the wisdom
shown in the appointment was consum-
mate. Nothing less, indeed, than the
whole issue of the struggle, for ultimate
defeat or ultimate victory, turned upon
the selection TO be made at this crisis. For
nothing can be clearer than that in any
other hands than those of George Wash
ington the military result of the war must
have been speedily disastrous to the Amer
leans. In appointing Virginian to the
command OF a New England army, the
Congress showed rare wisdom 1t would
well have accorded with local prejudices
had New England General been appoint
ed. John Hancock greatly desired the
appointment, and seems to have been
chagrined at not receiving it. But it was
wisely decided that the common interest of
Americans could in no way be more thor
oughly engaged in the war than by putting
the New England army in charge of a
General who represented in his own per-
son the greatest of the Southern colonies.
Washington was now commander of the
local militia of Virginia, and sat in Con-
gress IN his ColonePs uniform. His serv-
ices in saving the remnant of Braddock's
Inflated army, and afterward in the cap
ture of Fort Duquesne, had won for him
military reputation greater than that of
any other American. Besides this, there
was that which, from his early youth, had
made it seem right to intrust him with
commissions of extraordinary importance.
Nothing in WashiDgton's whole career
is more remarkable than the fact that
when mere boy Of q he should have

So they went into Linnen & Cotton's

Fertility of Eggs.

Hens that are given variety of food,
and are not overfat, will lay eggs that
should hatch, if the male is active and
vigorous. Fresh meat gives vigor to lay
ing hens, and if more meat and less corn is
fed the hens will more than pay for the
difference in the price OF the meat in the
increased number of eggs laid. The male
should have little meat once day if
possible, as it will greatly add TO his vigor
and increase the fertility of the eggs. OF
the grains buckwheat should not be over
looked in the change of diet, and good
mess Of scalded chopped hay should be al

Breaking Up sitting Hens.

1t does not pay to break up sitting
hen too early after she begins to sit. 1t is
natures method of allowing her to recup-
crate and get rid of the surplus fat. II
allowed to remain on the nest for week
or ten days and but little food allowed,
she may then be driven off by the usual
mode, and she will soon begin to lay. II
broken up too soon she will lay but few
eggs and then begin to incubate again. 1t
is cheaper to allow sitting hen to hatch
brood of chicks and raise them, for when
she begins to lay she will make up for all
lost time. 1t is best to have separate
apartment for sitters, in order to prevent
fighting on the nests and breaking the
eggs. Lice also thrive under sitting hens,
and the nests should be well busted with
Persian insect powder as precaution. -
