A Soldier of the Revslutisn.

Tourists wandering about the eoun-
try near Rye, N. Y, recently found the
neglected grave of Maj. Gen. Thomas
Thomas, of revolutionary fame. 1t was
found in an out of-the-way place, near
the old Rye bridge, on the Boston post
road. The grave was SO covered with
brambles as to be almost hidden from
view. The tombstone was SO crumbled
and broken that it was with difficulty
the inscription could be deciphered.
The attention of the Westchester
County Historical society and of the
Sons and the Daughters of the Revolu-
ton has been called to the neglected
grave. He was born in Harrison town
ship in 1855 and died there in 1924. He
commanded regiment in 1776 and par
ticipated in the battles of Harlem and
White Plains. In the autumn of that
year a detachment of the British army
burned his home and took his aged
father a prisoner to New York, where
he died in the provost Jail. After the
war Gen. Thomas served frequently in
the state legislature. None of the Ole
residents of Rye know of any living
relatives of the dead generA-N. Y.

THE sAvoRY scALLoP.
Several Ways of Cooking This Delicate
Sea Food.

Sea Food.
Although seasonable from September
to March the scallop is preferred by
epicures during January and February,
as at this time the portion commonly
called the tongue" is full and of a
bright orange color. This mollusk
frequents deep water and is brought to
the surface by dredging. Only the
muscular part or heart of the sca'lop is
eaten; it is an esteemed dainty when
carefully cooked, and is particularly
adapted to the methods of the chatting
dish.
Saute of Scallops.-One-half pint
scallops, two tablespoonfuls butter, one
half teaspoonfuI salt, speck of pepper,
one tablespoonful parsley chopped fine,
one-half teaspoonful anchovy paste,
Juice of half lemon. Heat the butter
in a chatting dish and when very hot and
slightly brown add scallops rolled in
one level tablespoonful of -four and
seasoned, saving salt until the last, as
it extracts the juice. After the flour
on the scallops has begun to cook, add
anchovy paste and lemon, cover closely,
and cook ten minutes; add parsley and
cook little longer before serving.
Scallop Stew.-Wash thoroughly in
salt and water, rinse in clear water,
cover with milk and stew Is minutes
until tender; add tablespoonful of
butter, melted with one tablespoonful
of flour; season with salt and white
pepper, and serve hot on toast.
Messina Scallops.-Parboil one-haf
pint scallops in their own juice eight
minutes; then put in two tablespoon
fuls of hot butter; simmer eight min
utes; then add one-half teaspoonful
salt, speck of pepper, and juice of two
lemons.
Sca11oped Scallops. - Fry a light
brown in butter, shaking often TO pre-
vent burning;. if you have the shells,
wash thoroughly and butter; otherwise
use n baking dish well buttered; put in
a layer of bread crumbs, well buttered;
then one of scallops, and SO on until the
dish is full, having the crumbs at the
top; cover with white sauce made of
two tablespoonfuls butter and two table
spoonfuls of flour, cooked together, and
then stirred smooth in pint of milk,
and bake 20 minutes or until nicely
Drowned.
Scallop Salad.-Put into basin of
sailed water and cook slowly for an
hour. Rinse in cold water and again
boil slowly 20 minutes; then plunge in
cold water, drain, and cut in slices, mix
ing with the same quantity of celery
cut in pieces; put in salad bowl and

able Costume.
There has been a united effort be-
tween furriers and modistes to rein
state muffs in favor. Last season bon
nets and muffs to match were extreme
novelties and were worn by a few of
the ultra-fashionable women. The
style was so pleasing and picturesque
that it has grown in favor and muffs are
prominently to the fore.
With all fur capes and coats muffs
are sold to correspond and no fashion
able toilet is complete without the COM
Portable adjunct. The slight awkward
ness pertaining to carrying mutf In
or ribbons with jeweled buckles are
used, by which they are suspended
about the neck.
The very latest means of carrying the
mAh is by a string of pearl beads.
Brood ribbons matching the hue of the
gown are also tied through the mum
and worn around the neck. A round,
fun mum or fur to match the wrap, OF
the same material, is quite common.
