them to mining camps IN Idaho, and prepared

start on certain evening in order to lose no
tims in getting beyond the mountains, where
there was dan ger Of getting in storm and
losing all my eggs. But tbe prospect OF a
long wagon journey was not cheerful one,
and in bidding farewell to comfortaole
quarters, I solaced myself with drinking. J
did not become drunk. have never been
drunk in my life, but ]. came to the eonclp-
sion that one day more or less would make
little difference. 1t made all the difference
in the world. I was caught in storm which

The fact that drunkenness is disease and
q species of insanity is rapidly becoming
understood, and has been under discussion
for some time by the British Medical Asso-
citation. One of their late meetings brought
out some interesting proofs of the awaken
ing Of physicians throughout Europe 7! and d
opinion among medical men that the inebri-
ate should be Subjected to compulsory deten-
tion and treatment in restorative homes sus.
tanned at public expense, and that victims of
alcoholism entering such asylums vo!nn-
tarily should be received without tho humilia-
tion Of being first brought into court. Pro
posals embodying these ideas have been in
dorsed by many eni1snt bodies Of prae; );
other continental countries, also in the United
States. In England the Government has

accepted. 1t was desided that the sub-com.
mittee recommend to the full committee
that Mr. Duucan's plan be definitely AMI
finally accepted as the design for the Grant
monument subject to any change or altera.
ton in the plans that may be suggested by
the committee and the architect.
The general shape provided for is a pile OF
granite or marble, 100 feet square and rising
100 feet. On top Of it will be dome seventy
feet high. The ornamentation will be
simple, and the architecture severely Dofic.
The dome will be surmounted by
sculptured figures the nature of which
will be determined by the committee, the
sculptor, and the architect later on. In thede
sign there are the statues of four CT the Gen:
erals who were on General Grants staff
Thirty feet below the top Of the dome there
will be row of windows. There will be four
entrances at the base. The main entrance
will be gateless portico, an addition to the
general design. In front of this entrance
tn there viii be colossal equestrian statute G1i

open to tho top Of the dome
One hundred and thirty feet from the base
there will be an immense gallery where Wis.
itors may 60. The row Of windows men
toned will open on this gallery. The main
room in the crypt will be a memorial hall
where more than thousand persons can

ing through the floor. In this opening will
be placed granite sarcophagus for the

the crypt will be raised several feet and
marble stairway will lead up to it. There
will be another marble stairway inside the
crypt leading to the gallery. This stairway
winds upward part OF the way, and part Of
tie way it is straight 1t is planned so as
to fill space that can be occupied no other
way. There are little hooks and corners
in the base Of the crypt where battle flags
and trophies may be displayed. There
are q dozen places at the base where
sculptured work may be placed if tho COM
mittee wants it. There are other places
for statues and the like all the way up the in
terror to the dome, and on and around the
gallery in the dome, but if the committee
wants any ornamentation in that line it will
have to pay extra for it. The cost Of the
structure, including no sculptured work e1.
cept the statue of Grant in front of the main
entrance, is to be s500,000. This does moi
even include the statues to surmount the
dome. The committee has on hand $40, 900

A quart Of milk is put in a double boiler,
and when it boils two squares of choco-
late are added. The mixture is stirred
constantly until the chocolate is dis
solved, and then it is boiled for five min
utcs. Then it should be removed from
the fire and allowed to cool for fifteen
minutes. In the mean time the yolks Of
six eggs and the whites of two are beaten.
quite light, and eight tablespoonfuls of
sugar and one of vanilla are mixed in
with them. When the milk is cool all
the ingredients are combined and put in a
pudding dish. It is to be baked in a
moderate oven, and when it is firm in the
centre it is done. Put the pudding dish
in a pan of water and the custard will get
watery. Make meringue of the remain
ing whites of eggs and four tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Spread it on the pudding
when it is baked and return to the oven
to brown q little.
