HIS FAVORITE DISH.
washington's supper Was Late, But He Got
What He Desired.

Mrs. A. j. Dauds, of Canton, o., relates
an anecdote of Gen. Washington, as
told by her grandfather, Nicholas Erin
ger, of Tarrytown, Md, who was owner
of the mill in question, and which illus
trates the plainness of Washington's
diet.
During the administration of Wash
ington he found it necessary to take a
business trip of few days duration
accompanied by his staff. 1t having be-
come known to the citizens of Tarry-
town that he would pass through there,
arrangements were made to give him
royal reception and the proprietor of
the village tavern, at which he would
take supper, prepared to serve Il menu
fit for a king. Everything, almost, in
the line of eatables that one could think
of was secured and placed in readiness
to be served on short notice. About
four o'clock in the afternoon of the
eventful day the distinguished party ar
rived and was driven to the hotel upon
being told when to have supper ready,
the host sent word to Washington's
room asking him if he would state what
he would like best. He was greatly
surprised to learn that Washington de-
sired only mush and milk. In the at
tempt to have everything convenient
those in charge had not thought of corn
meal. The nearest place where it could
be obtained was at the mill OF Nicholas
Fringer, somo distance from the village.
However, one of the villagers friend
of the landlord, offered to go after the
meal and n minnie later was aStride n
horse galloping towards the mill. The
much desired article was quickly Sc
cured, and the horseman was soon back
to the tavern. Although supper was II
little late, Washington had his mush
and milk, and later the party resumed
its journey.-Detroit Free Press.

1.-THE LIFE OF ALL is ONE"

Hooked abroad from the rocky height TO the
vast round ring OF the world:
A throng OF vessels on the sea their white sails
had unfurledi
With wide wings glittering in the light. east,
west, north, south they flew,
The broeze sent each upon its way across the
level blue.
Musing marked their beauty and thought OF
their varied use,
From tho spritsailed fishers little voyage to
the whaler's Arctic cruise,
From the patient coasters canvas to the mighty
column OF white
That clothes the great ship proudly TO the top
OF her stately height
Four-masted schooneis pondcrous, with acres
OF sail cloth stout,
Great rams Of yachts spread wide to catch oil
winds that stir about;
Such press OF sail from stem TO stern, from
deck to top mast tall,
They skyward yearn, and hardly seem to touch
the tide ut all
The lateon sails OF southern sens, curved like
the pinions light
or soaring gulls, and then the folds Of raiment
glowing bright
With which fair Venice drapes her masts in
coors rich and deep
To woo soft Adriatic airs that in the stiffness
sleep.
And IL seemed wonderful thing to me that all
the countless sails,
A web unfurled round the whole world to cap
ture all its gales
Should spring from out OF the dusty earth
that the cotton.plant should grow,
Blossoming golden DER myriad fields, to scatter
its ilmy snow
From the ripe black seed in dazzling cloud, to
be gathered and woven and spun
For the use OF man in every one OF the nations
under the sun
1 said l watched the white winged fleet:
There is nothing large or small,
The poppy seed can hardly SEQ is as great as
the earths huge ball,
For the spirit of God is everywhere, and the
life of all is one,
From the wing Of the gnat and the breath OF the
rose to tho central fires Of the sun"

THE GERMAN ARMY.

How 1t is Prepared and Equipped for War.
The work of placing the army from
the peace organization on a war footing
is called mobilization. 1t must be per-
formed and finished within given
number of days. The order to mobilize
issues from the emperor and is made
known forthwith to all military and
civil authorities, as well as to the peo-
pie, the former being notified by tele-
graph. A mobilization affects not only
public life, but the business and pro-
fessional relations of every individual.
From the moment the order is given, "a
spirited and well-directed activity is
displayed by every troop to get ready in
time, everybody knowing beforehand
what is required of him in this emerg-
ency. The first step TO be taken is to
call in the reserves, in order to fill up
the ranks of the standing army and to
form new troops. This is done by writ
ten summonses issued from headquar-
ters of the district commanders. These
summonses are kept always ready and
every man liable to service in the army
or navy is pledged to heed them without
horses is begun, of which there is u very
considerable number required for the
train, for mounting officers and military
officials, and for the formation of new
troops. All measures connected with
mobilization are mapped out in every
detail during peacetime, the army being
practically prepared for this change at
any time.
The organization of mobilized army
corps is similar to that in peace. The
additional formations are independent
cavalry divisions, composed of num-
ber of cavalry regiments withdrawn
from the regular divisions; also with
reserve divisions and depot and Land
wehr formations of every kind. The
duty of the latter is to maintain the ac-
tive army at full strength, and to garri-
son places at home as well as on or
near the seat of war. The army corps
is further replenished by its allotment
of train columns and sanitary detach-
ments. The artillery of the army corps
is partly distributed among the divi-
sions. partly used in the formation of u
corps artillery, which is placed under
| the independent command of general.
The pioneer battalion is broken up and
the several companies are detached to
the divisions. Additional formations
are finally required for the mail, tele-
graph, balloon and railway service.
At the head of the German army is
the emperor. From army corps and
cavalry divisions armies are formed and
placed under special command and ad-
ministration. AS soon as the army
moves, the etappen are organized for
the purpose of keeping up connection
with the rear, if possible, by railways.
