Julian Scott. Drummer. Rox.

The Boston Transcript says that Ju-
Liam Scott. drummer boy, Company E,
Third Vermont volunteers, received
the frst7congressional medal Of honor
for bravery at the battle Of Lees Mills,
Va, April IS. 1862. His duties did not
require him to be present Oh the field.
Learning that four companies Of his
regiment, including his own, had cess.
ed the creek and were suffering terrible
losses, and that many Of his comrades
were killed and wounded, he started for
the scene, forded the creek, and, in the
face Of a terrible fire and countercharge
from the enemy, succeeded unaided in
bringing two severely wounded com
rades across the creek. "A general order
was issued by his brigade commander,
General Badly Smith, commenting
the heroic bravery of this drummer boy.
The act Of congress granting the medal
Of honor was passed July 10, 1862, and
it is reported that Secretary StantoA
was SO pleased with the bravery Of this
boy that as soon as the medals were
ready he sent the first one to Julian
Scott. s.5 5. zs5s

Rastus' Birthday.

In the northern part Of Georgia I
came upon negro cabin, and, as ap-
preached, it became evident that some
extraordinary commotion was going on
within. In fact, shouts and yells of ter
ror succeeded one another so rapidly
that fastened to see what could be the
trouble.
AS I drew rein before the door half
a dozen ragged pickaninnies ran out.
All but one of them were screaming
and crying at the tops of their voices.
while the odd one, as merry as the 9th
ers were sad, began tumbling cart
wheels and standing on his head. At
this moment man, evidently the head
Of the household, appeared in the door,

WHAT THEY EAT IN EGYPT.
Kabob and Green Cakes Form an ED

Kabob and Green Cakes Form an Epi-
curean Neal For Five Cents.
Margherita Arlina Hamnl, "a clever
writer on the New York Mail and Ex-
press, says that every country has it's
own little delicaoies. and the British
soldiers who pour into Egypt undoubt-
eddy buy from the street hawkers the
green cakes, and possibly the kabobs,
for which the land of the Nile is ia
nous.
The kabob is broiled meat, but is
broiled in SO ridiculous fashion as to
be really funny. The peddler uses lit
tie charcoal furnace, something like
those in use by our plumbers. In it he
keeps up a small but hot fire. Attached
to the side Of the furnace is a lot of
= iron skewers When customer APP
proaches, the hawker takes small piece
of meat, mutton or goat, the latter being
the most popular, cuts it with a sharp
knife into long ribbon, winds it around
the skewer and places it over the char
coal fire. Some of the drippings are COL
lected, and with little salt Or salt and
spice, makes pleasant sauce for the
kabob when it is DONE The cooking is
very rapid. What with the heat OF the
fire and the thinness Of the meat, it is
thoroughly done in two or three minutes
The green cakes are nothing more or
less than small wheaton cakes mixed
with chopped green leaves Of various
kinds sailed and baked in a slow oven.
They are pale yellow, yellow gray and
brownish gray, with irregular splashes
of green Oh both the upper and lower
surfaces. They are said to be very nour-
ishing, and they are certainly very ap-
petizing and palatable when fresh from
the oven. Almost any kind Of green leaf
which is used as human food serves for
making green cake. The humble cab
bage and thu aristocratic petit pois vert,
the watermelon rind and the celery
top, the string bean and even the aspar-
agus tip have been used for the purpose
In addition to the nutritious leaf there
is nearly always havoring leaf The
commonest is parsley, and after this
comes fennel, fenugreek, sorrel, bay and
laurel.
The green cake of the market varies
from 2 to 4 inches in width, but is rarely
more than a quarter of all inch thick
About one-half are made by bakers and
one-half by the women of the working
classes.
