Unfair Warfare.

From the st. Louis Republic.
good story is told of the GOODNESS and
bravery Of Gen. John Irving Gregg, who
commanded a cavalry brigade In the Army
Of the Potomac during the war.
Il was at the second battle Of Malvern
Hill, August 5, 1862. He was a cavalry
captain them and his regiment was ordered
to support old Bull Sumner in his move

panles. The Johnnies were advancing. and
presently got within range, peltirg the
federals with a battery and line of sharp
shooters. 1t was very hot, and all the
more uncomfortable because the fire could
rot be returned. Seconds seemed hours,
and minutes were days. as the federal
troops at Under that death-dealirg fire.
Directly behind the head of the column
was Gen. uhen captain) Gregg's company.
But the general never WINGED. He sat
bolt upright in his saddle. He motoned to

column, who rode back to where he sat
Taking a small flask from his pocket he
said to his comradc:

with all my heart replied the latter
Gregg deliberately unscrewed the top
from the flask and. holding it out, said:
We'll. old man, go ahead!'
Just then there was a zip. crash of
glass and the liquor streamed down over
Gregg's hand. Gregg raised his eyes, and
fixing them on tie Johnnics, where the ball

CLEVER TRICK OF A SHEEP,
1t Followed Its Master Around Until
1t Got What 1t Wanted

Ii Followed Its Master Around Until
1t Got What 1t Wanted.
From the London Spectator.
Two years ago a lamb owned by a gentle
man whose farm lies close to Tough Foy.e
was left motherless. A yardman in charge
of the flock nursed and fed the little or
phan. She became very tame and was
much petted by her masters children. Last
year she had grown into a young sheep,
with a lamb Of her own. One day some
dogs ran through the pasture grounds, and
the frightened flock scattered and fled
through the field, which was a large one,
sloping toward the shore. The yardman,
Aleck, banished the intruders and collected
the sheep. as he supposed, into safety.
An hour OR two afterward the pet sheen
rushed past the dwelling house, apparently
in great distress With piteous bleating she
went TO the lodge gate, where Aleck was
sitting at his monday meal, and, comin:;
close to him, seemed to seek his help. As
he rose from the table she ran out of the
house and straight through the pasture to
the shore. He followed her and soon saw
the cause of her alarm. Her lamb, terri
fled by the dogs, had fled to little penin-
sula among the rocks, which the incoming
tide mad transferred into an island OF
course, it could not cross the strait and the
mother could not save 1t. therefore she ap-
piled to the power and sympathy of her
human friend. Her trust in his help was
rot disappointed, and she and her rescued
offspring were soon reunited.

tTOH tne heuectOI.
One Of the secrets of palatable food is
knowing how to cook water. The secret
is to pu: fresh filtered water into a clean
kettle already warm, to let it boil quickly,
and to use 1t the instant it is boiled. To
let 1t steam and simmer means to have a
combination of lime. iron ard dregs in the
kettle. and all the good water evaporated
Into air. 1t is surprising that many house
keepers otherwise neat and particular, seem
to think that kettle Will stay clean with
out active measures on their part. The
mere fact that nothing but water is boiled
In 1t does not guarantee 1t against the need
of securing 1t. 1t VIII soon become coated
with rusty-iooking layer of slime, unless
1t receives the same care as other cooking
utensils. Food cooked with water which is
rot properly boiled CT which is boiled in a
kettle coated with dregs has not the same
flavor that properly cooked food has. More
ever. il is dangerous to health.

One mystery regarding the viceroy Ii
Hung Chang the Paris press determined TO
solve. He has been frequently entertained
at banQuets, bdt has not eaten a morsel of
food in public s:nce his arrival in Europe.
The Parisians insisted on knowing what he
did eat President Faure invited him to
dinner at the Elysee, and the illustrious
guest came, saw. and tasted. 1t was the
same in Germany. At Friedrichsruh he did
not touch DISH not even dessert. The ex-
chancellor asked why he would not even
try food, which he said was wholesome and
appetizing. He replied that he was sure
it was all that, but that If he once sacri-
feed his principle In Germany he might
his mouth which would provoke grim
ace and this would be unpardonabl BILE in
suit to his hosts.
The mysteries of his private cuisine at
the Grand Hotel in Paris have been made
known. AS he cannot have the appetizing
dishes which fatter his palate in China he
does the best he can with such means as
are available. He is not a lover of rice.
His dinner, which is served at 6:s0 o clock
by his body valet, man who sleeps al has
door every night, and by three cooks who
follow their hanGwork 10 the dining room,
consists of twelve to sixteen courses not
counting tea and little cakes at the end.
One large tray contains all these various
e6ibles ranged in rows one above the other
Roast duck is almost always the piece De
resistance which the viceroy eats with
kidney beans. Then comes a savory dish
of fresh pork with quantity OF jam. Al
though the cucGmbers are served ar art ne
usually enjoys them together with jam and
pork.
After this the venerable Chinese turns to
shrmps. the flavor OF which is heightened
by leeks, gherkirs and mushrooms, with
which he eats them. Next he picks two
tender chickens preserved in wine and vine
gar along with green peas. Then he Is
ready to do justice to a slice of fresh pork
cooked in honey with the smallest mush-
rooms. This is succeeded by q puree made
OF pigeons legs and navored with sour
jelly. These are some of the chief plates
which constitute the evening meal and are
followed by dessert, consisting of rice cook
ed with sugar and sponge cake, the whole
washed down with tea.
