 AN INTERESTING WAR RECORD.
 Major Beardsley, who Is everywhere assisting in the charge of the big expo sition, Is one of the head officers of the late war, and to look at his still youth full appearance and animation and ac- tivity one could hardly suppose that he was one of those who fought and en- dured rebel prison life for the old flag thirty years ago. A retrospective view concerning his war experiences Is very interesting and is we'll due so brave and efficient an officer. He enlisted as pri- vate in the Twentieth Connecticut Vol unteers August 13, 1862, and was pro- noted to be second lieutnant before leaving the state for the front. He was appointed aid on the staff of Brigadier General Thomas L. Kane in October, lS62 served as such until February, 1863, when the division was reorgan- ized and he was appointed brigade in spector on the staff of General Mowry and was acting in this capacity at the battle of Characteristic, where he was taken prisoner and sent to Libby pris- on. He was exchanged in time to en- ter the battle of Gettysburg. His com mand being broken up. he volunteered as an aid torGeneral Ruger, command ing the division. After this battle the Twelfth corps was transferred to the Army of the Tennessee and was re- organized aesthe Twentieth corps under Fighting Joe" Hooker. This was the ?orps that fought that celebrated fight above the clouds. He was later cap- tured by the Guerillas in Tennessee, stripped of His uniform and accoutre- nents and was expecting to be shot, this fate having been several times threatened him, but he was released and left to find his way back to his com- mand as best he could, reaching the Union lines at last in safety. He was an aid on the staff of General Butter field commanding the division until after the capture of Atlanta. He went with Sherman :on his march to- the sea-" acting as adjutant general part of the time. After the capture of Sa- vannah re was transferred to the quar- termaster department, where he served until the close of the war. His later record includes various business and civic positions, among which was four years service in charge of the New Haven county jail under Sheriff Gates. Mrs. D. A. Lincoln, the cooking lec- turer, delivered most interesting lec- ture yesterday afternoon, her subject being Marketing" There was present a butcher from the establishment of L. c. Pfaff & Son, who cut up side of heavy beef under Mrs. Lincoln's super vision. While he was cutting the beef Mrs. Lincoln referred to a diagram of a steer on the blackboard and entered into the explanation at considerable 1ength:.''. s.t .,.
 z She sbolSc in part as follows:
 1T shall talk this afternoon on mar meat. I have not time toGteH of the various kinds, and shall talk principally of beef; because, when you have learned the anatomy of beef, you can apply the same tests in the Buying of other Kinds of meat Here in America the beef Is split down the back, and these are called sides of beef. Mutton is cut the other way
 '"There are certain tests which can be supplied in selecting beef, even before it is cut Much can be determined from it's outlines. It can be easily told whether beef is plump and well filled out over the bones or not. In much beef there are very distinct hollows, over the 1oins. After beef is cut, it's quality can be easily told. If if is bright red, if the fat is clear and creamy in color, if it Is marbled with fat, if when you press upon 1t, it springs back quickly, if 1t is not watery, it is of good quality"
 Mrs. Lincoln showed a poor quality of beef, the color of which was dark red. She then explained the anatomy of a beef creature. She explained by chart, and by the side of beef, the cuts of a side, taking first the forequarter. She
