While he was turning near the mill dam, the

dragged the horses over the bank and into

CHICKEN sAUTE, eARN1sHED


repeat the arrangement on the other
side of the dish, thus forming a dia-
mond shape on the platter. Season the
cream with salt and pepper and pour it
over the chicken Garnish with the
peppers and carrots. Sprinkle the whole
with parsley, chopped fine. If the
chicken be more than or months old,
cut into joints and steam until tender
and then saute. In this case it need not
be cooked in the oven.
Cut the tender portions of the stalks
of one large bunch of asparagus into
pieces about the size of peas and cook in
boiling sailed water until tender; drain
and keep hot while making the sauce.
For one cup of asparagus use two table
spoonfuls each of butter and flour, one
fourth teaspoonful Of salt, dash of
pepper and one cup Of the water in
which the asparagus was cooked or use
part cream. Add the asparagus and turn
into a buttered baking dish. Break
three or four fresh eggs over the top,
season with salt and pepper and graf
ing of nutmeg, if desired. Set the dish
in another containing hot water and
place in the oven until the whites of
the eggs are set. Serve in the baking
dish. The foregoing recipes and illus
tration are from the Boston Cooking
School Magazine.

The New Stationery.

Stationery is gayer than ever. One
could almost hear letter coming on the
newest paper, it is so loud. In plain pa
per, pale yellow, burned orange, cerise
and peculiar shade of brown are the
leading tints The paper is of heavy
quality in both rough and smooth fin
ish and is decidedly ugly, but it is the
thing, and therefore sells like hot cakes.
Fancy papers are being used again, and
dealers say that they will grow more
and more in favor as summer advances.
One style looks very much like alligator
skin in color and texture, and if fas-
tidious person should receive letter on
it he or she would instinctively feel
that it was about as tough looking. A
pale gray MORE paper is dainty and
pretty and, as one pretty girl put it,
''makes just any old writing look we'll. :"
One style is covered with large white
chrysanthemums having green centers
and bright pink edges. The colors blend
and the design would be lovely for an
organdie or muslin, but it is hopeless
for note paper.
A woman's stationery is and should
be indicative of herself. If she is truly
refined in her taste, she will no more
use loud paper than she will wear loud
boots or gloves. And, in conclusion to
the foregoing, the New York Sun opines
that it is, if possible, even worse for a
man to use highly colored and decorated
paper than for a woman.

why Not oTer a Bounty :?

Charleston Is. Co. News and Courier.
If South Carolina has not two or
three young men in each county will
ling, from pure patriotism, to form the
missing company in Col. Aiston's regi-
ment, would it not be well for some of
our capitalists to combine and offer a
bounty, say 800, for each private. to
make up the company? One hundred
dollars would enable private TO make
himself comfortable in the way of
underclothes. shoes, ETC., or it would
be nice to put in savings bank to
accumulate until his return, and in
case of his death to help his family.
1t would take only $4,000 to give such
bounty to each private in the COM
pany, and one hundred rich men, who
do not want to volunteer, or who do
not want their sons to volunteer, could
easily spare 1874 apiece for this patrio-
tic purpose.

The Approaching Reunion.

Atlanta Constitution.
Barely six weeks remain before the
gates of Atlanta will swing back on
their hinges to greet the old soldiers
who will be her guests of honor dur
ing the approaching Confederate
veterans reunion. Whenever Allan
TIA undertakes TO do anything she
usually succeeds; and her ambitiou
in the present instances is to make the
gathering of old soldiers here in July
next the most successful affair OF its
kind which has ever been held in the
south.
She is making provisions to enter
tain the old soldiers in royal style,
| and ii the whole army OF survivors
should chance to accept her cordial
| invitation, she would still have room
to spare. Since the late war, it has
been Atlanta's privilege to entertain
many notable gatherings within her
limits, and she understands the art
of making her visitors enjoy them
selves; but never has she entered with
greater zast into the matter of
arranging for expected guests than
she is now displaying in her ep IRA
tions for tie approaching Conteder-
ate veterans reunion.

Historic Facts Recalled by a North
ern Paper.
New York Times.
1.-The heroic valor OF North Caro-
lima troops excites the highest adj
miratioD; and Pennsylvania, which
lost more in killed and wounded. in
proportion to the number of it's
troops, than any other northern
state, can well send greeting to
North Carolina, whose soldiers at
Gettysburg did the hardest fighting
on the other side. The Official War
Record is the book of revelations as
to both sides of the civil war. On
the Confederate side, North Carolina
lost more soldiers killed than any
other Southern State. The follow
ing was the total loss in killed and
mortally wounded of several of the
Southern States: North Carolina,
Ia, 522; Virginia, 1928: South Caro-
lima, 9,1S7; Georgia, $3.50; Missis-
slppl, 1907; Louisiana, 9,714.
North Carolina heads the list in the
number that died of wounds, and
20, 6O2 of her sons died of disease.
North Cardinals military population
in 1861 was lis 800, but she furn-
ished 125, 900 to the Confederate
cause. The percentage of lost,
killed, and wounded was greater in
the Confederate armies than in the
Union armies. At Gettysburg, the
Twenty ixth North Carolina, of
Pettigrew's brigade, went into action
with over eight hundred, and lost
five hundred and fifty-aight in killed
and wounded. That same regiment
had only two hundred and sixteen
men left for duty when it went into
| LoDgstreet's assault on the third
| day, and on the following day but
| eighty were left. On the FIRST day,
Captain Tuttle's company went into
action with three officers and eighty.
four men. All OF the officers and
eighty three of the men were killed OF
wounded. On the same day, Com
pany G, of the Eleventh North Caro-
lima, lost two Officers and thirty four
out OF thirty eight men, killed OF
wounded. Captain Bird, of this
company, and the four remaining
men then went into what is called
"Pickett's Charge" The flag bearer
was shot, and Capt. Bird brought
out the flag himself. This was the
severast regimental loss during the
war;"

THE FUN FOUNDRY.
He Rose to Fame.


He was youth of studious brain. At school
he always led
In every branch he undertook, was always at
the head,
And oft his teachers said to him his brain
would yet expand
Till N the gilded halls of fame he d some day
proudly stand.
He'd read of opportunities out in the growing
west,
And felt that here his talents rare would
sparkle at their best,
And hither ON the wings of hope he proudly
plumed his flight,
Determined he would reap rewards just sim
ply out of sight.
A year passed by, and back he wrote that
honor wreathed his name;
That in the oratoric field he fast gaining
fame;
That men in every walk of life came f1ocking
up in herds
To listen to his gifted voice and hang upon his
words.
His parents showed that letter round the town
from dawn to dark.
And everybody said they knew that Tom
would make his mark,
Nor dreamed that he pursued the path Of fame
for ten week

Creek.

Indian nIarksmanship.

Lord Robert declares that the shooting
standard attained by the Indian troops is
unequaled by any troops in the world.
The Queen of Holland.
The queen Of Holland is young lady
with very independent ideas. A short
time ago it was stated that she had posi-
lively determined never to marry and
that her intention was to emulate the
example of the great English Queen
Elizabeth. Probably this is mere gossip
and has no foundation in fact. Now,
however, we are told today that the
youthful monarch has had the courage
to declare her distaste for music. If we
remember that the Dutch are not usu-
ally regarded as musical people, this
is perhaps not surprising. But in this
respect she is not possessed of the he
reditary predictions which one might
have expected, seeing that her father.
the late King William LII, was an en-
thusiastic musician. Indeed his deyo-
ton TO the emotional art was such that
he is said, when Prince Of Orange, to
have disguised himself in order to play
second violin in Malihran's orchestra.
But then the prince was alleged to be
in love with Malibran at the time. If,
however, she is not musician, Queen
Wilhelmina pays attention to other
esthetio tastes. She takes the greatest
intsrest in painting and sculpture and
has herself a pretty talent for sketch
