She is. therefore, an emblem OF magnanimity
and true courage. As II anxious 20 proven, all

shown and extended for defense they appear
weak and contemplate. bat their wounds. how
ever small, are decisive AM fatal Conscious
of this she never wounds Until she has gener-
ously given notice even to her enemy and

RENE BAcHE,

Cut in small thin pieces three ounces of pre-
served ginger, put them in bowl with three
dessert spoonfu!s of the strip, the well-beaten
yolas of four eggs, and one pint of good sweet
cream. Mix these ingredients well together,
put in a copper-bottomed saucepan or farina
kettle to prevent scorching and allow to cook
slowly for ten minutes or until the mixture
thickens; then take Immediately of the fire
and beat with a wire spoon until nearly cold.
Add two teaspoonfuls OF pulveriGed sugar;
then add one ounce of ge.a.ine previously
soaked in enough warm water to dissolve ii.
Strain the geatine and add the other ingredi-
ents: beat all together until thoroughly mixed,
put in mold aad keep on ice until sent to the
table, as it should be served very cold. IL pre-
pared carefully according to these directions a
dainty and delicious dessert will be the result
frothy whipped cream piled about the
mold adds to the effect but is rather too rich
to be eaten with the dessert.

act originating in the Senate called FOR the ad-

the House resolved itself into a committee of
the whole house on the bill sent from the Sem
ate, entitled An act making an alteration in
the flag of the United States.
Most OF the Representatives thought the mat

serious consideration Of the bill at that time,
when business Of greater importance Was wait

bill, the first completed at that session Of Con-
gress, passed on January Is, 1895, and read as
follows:
''Be it enacted, that from and after the first
day Of May, one thousand seven hundred and
ninety-five, the flag Of the United States be

Twenty-Five years later new Legislation again

in and they wanted recognition in the flag. A
committee was appointed BY Congress to in
