"AnOther Richmond in the
Field ~
For the Dispatch. !

lfOf tue
In the galaxy OF authors that add lus-
tie to Virginia's fame another star has
risen. Mr.. Jacob I. Child, the author
of 1.-The Pearl Of Asia" is q Richmond
boy, whom, possibly. few OF our old
time citizens may remember. he is q
brother Of Jesse Child, once we'll
known druggist, and is a contemporary
and confrero of genial George S. Young,
having acquired with him the printers
craft in the "old Wig Office under
that prince of printers William A. Il.
Nye.
In 1857 Mr.. Child with several Rich
mond boys, among whom are remember
ed Ike Preston and Henry Lyon, emf
grated to Missouri just Ia time to lend
helping hand to the pro-slavery side IN
that famous John Brown struggle, final
ly setting in Richmond, Mo-, thus con-
soling himself with the old name since
he could not with his old friends. BY
his talents and perseverance Mr. Child
became editor of newspaper, and has
risen step by step to the highest honors
in the gift of his adopted State. having
been elected to represent his district in
Congress, and during Cleyelands Adj
ministration he was honored with the
post of Minister to Siam, and as acrown
to his pure and useful life he has added
history that will bring both
knowledge and pleasure to those
who love to read, giving in his
"Pearl OF Asia" one of the most inte-
resting accounts of that Gland of the
lotus flower" with its ruined fanes, its
walled cities and hundred glittering
spires. whose palaces and temples are
marvels of architectural beauty, and
whose mystic religion IS a verltable
wonder to the people Of the New World.
1t is SO clearly and graphically written
that no one, young or old, can fail to be
interested in his enthusiasm and vivid
descriptions of the splendors he has
seen, while his painstaking research and
clever understanding of the people add
valuable historic statistics to this absorb
ing theme. In the descriptions of the
"sunny glades and emerald wales OF this
Eden OF loneliness he often rises to po-
etical metaphors, but withal, his story is
so plainly told that even child would
read it with avidity.
The honors showered upon him and
his magnificent reception by King Chu-
lalongkorn are related with refreshing
naiucte and nothing escaped his notice.
OF the religion he says: "Amid Ayu-
thias crumbled grandeur one can read
of the civilization and wealth OF people
who had a well-written code of laws in
the teachings of Buddha while Britain
was under the sway of Druids-ere the
prophets OF Israel preached Jehovah and
gilded Jerusalem with glory, or the gen.
tie Nazarine gave us our code" Bud
dhism is the national faith, considered
by many merely religion of philosophy,
while some of the learned Siamese claim
that Darwin and many of the liberals of
the present day ale real Buddhists' and
apropos OF Professor Darwin his de-
scription of the brutal and dwarf Jungle
people, called by the natives monkey
men seem to ill the missing link.

Medals for COnfedcratcs.
RICHMOND.


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Will you be kind enough to inform me
whether or not the Confederate Congress
at any time voted to supply the survivors
of the Stonewall Brigade with badges?
and oblige, ONE OF Them.
The Confederate Congress by an act
approved October ID, 1862, resolved that
the President be empowered to bestow
medals with proper devices upon such
officers and nOn-cOHlnlissiOned officers
Of the Confederate army as distin-
guished themselves for courage and good
conduct on the field of battle. This WIGS
not confined TO the Stonewall Brigade,
but to the entire army. BY General
Order No. 131 from the Adjutant and
Inspector Generals Office it was an
nounced that there we're difficulties In
procuring the medals. and that in lieu
of medals or badges such officers and
non-commissioned officers and soldiers
should be placed upon rolls OF honor.
This order was carried into effect and
many of them appear in the published
volumes OF the war records now being
published by the United States Govern
ment.

Sir Walter Raleigh i'm America
"Old style"

COLUMBIA, VA.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
/. Did Sir Walter Raleigh ever visit
America
2. History says Columbus discovered
America October II, 1892. Why was
October -, 1892, celebrated as the 400th
anniversary of the discovery
Very respectfully. II. b. c.
]. Sir Walter Raleigh never visited
North America, but he went twice to
Guiana, South America-:trst in 1896,
secondly in 1617-'1S. On his return
from the latter voyage he sailed from
Guiana early in March, 1918, via the
West Indies and the Gulf Stream, along
our whole coast ria Newfoundland. and
arrived in England in June, 1918.
2. October IL, 1892, owing to a flaw
in the old way of reckoning time, cor
responds with or is equivalent to October
q, 1892. Therefore, the correct way TO
write it is: Columbus discovered Anne
rlca on the 18th (2lst) OF October, 1892 {;
and the correct day TO celebrate is Octo-
Der Dist present style, because it is the
same ddy as October 18th of the old
style.

All About Churning.

To nc Editor Of the Disp1ich:
Please tell me how to manage milk so
as to make butter come quickly both III
winter and in summer. Is 1t best TO
churn sweet cream, sour cream, or clab-
bered cream How much hot and cold
water is sufficient to pour into churn
containing one gallon OF cream ana
how do YOU tell when it is necessary to
nut in hot or cold water p? What Is the
trouble when butter will not come under
any circumstances !? What should be
the temperature of cream when you be-
Gin 10 churn, and should the churn be
hot or cold A ouBsCRlBEh'
Unless a centrifugal separator is used
milk set in cans in water at tempera-
ture of 45o will give the most satisfactory
results. At this temperature ali the
cream will rise in from eight to twelve
hours.
Batter can be made from either sweet
or sour cream. IL should not be clab-
bered for the best results- If sour,
churn at from 65o to 6So in winter and
from co. to 90 in summer. III sweet,
at from go TO 65o in winter and from
so to go in summer. II too warm the
butter will come soft ; if too cold the
cream will whip into foam and the
churning will be protracted unnecessary
ly. Hot water need never be poured
into the cream. The cream may DC
warmed by setting the can containing II
in water of the desired temperature and
stirring till the proper temperature Is
reached. A thermometer is indispensa-
BILE. Guess-work will not do.
II butter will not come when the above
conditions are attained it is usually
caused by using the milk from some COW
in the herd which has been too long IN
milk. The result comes from an excess
of caseine in the cream.
The churn should always be scalded
before being used and usually rinsed out
with cool water before the cream is put
ip. II should be OF about the tempera-
ture desired for the cream Judgment
and experience are the only guides in
this matter.

Wants His Sword.

Bosrov, Mass. January 81, 1893.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:
I am anxious to recover the sword
that was taken from me April 7, 1866, at
Farmville, Va, when / was taken
prisoner. 1t has occurred to me that if
/ could get the name and address OF the
officer who was provost marshal at that
time, who had charge Of the prisoners at
Lees headquarters, it is possible that
from him | could ascertain the name of
the officer who captured me on the front
line. Can you direct me how TO find
who was the provost-marshal ? Or can
you suggest any better way in which to
set about the achievement Of such re-
coyery? l am yours,
WILLIAM l.. Ross.
Any DISPATCH reader having the in
formation sought would confer favor
by communicating with Mr.. Ross write
TO him, not to this paper.

Dinner a In Russo.

To serve q Ia RUsse, which is at once
the simplest and most elegant manner
when guests are present, it is only neces-
sary to pass the dishes of each course in
rotation, beginning alternately at the
right and left OF the host and going In
opposite directions, writes Mrs. Van
Koert Schuyler i'll an article on "Cor-
rect Service at Table in the February
Ladies' Home Journal. Some think 1t
more courteous to serve all the ladies
first, but it is not now considered a
breach of strict etiquette to serve in
regular order.
The old French custom required that
that the dishes, deliberately garnished,
and the meats, sometimes stabbed with
silver skewers, like crossed swords,
should he placed upon the table before
the host aud hostess alternately, for o
moment, to give the guests an opportu-
nity of admiring them previous 10 their
being carved, but this formality has
gone out of fashion even among the
Frer ch themselves.
Oysters are usually at each place
when the company assemblies, having
been kept very cold on ice and salt up
to the moment of serving. A quarter OF
lemon and very thin slices of brown
bread, buttered, are the usual concomi-
tants.
No person should ever be left without
a plate before him except at the time OF
the clearing OF the table preparatory to
the introduction of the sweet course.
This is one of the primary rules OF
serving.
Under each oyster-plate it is custo,
mary to have a dinner-plate, upon which
also the one containing the soup is
placed. A dinner can hardly be served
with elegance by less than two persons,
although attention to the prescibed rules
greatly simplifies the matter.
The soup should be served from a side
table, ladleiul to each plate. Plates
are then carried one by one to their des-
tlnatiOp
