BULLETINS OF VICTORY.
None Has Yet Improved on Caesar's

- teu1: SlOH V1Cl! a+#z.
Net a few of the great commanders of
different countries have, when announc-
ing victory, endeavored to improve on
Caesars famous ''Veni, yidi, yici," but
the present war has produced nothing
striking of this sort, according to the
London Mail. Some of the messages of
the past are worth recalling. John Sobi-
eski, when sending the Mussulman stand
ards captured before Vienna to the Pope,
also sent this message: 81 came, I saw,
God conquered 1t is related of the
Russian Gen. Suwarrow, when yet a ma
lor and in command of an outpost, that
he desired to attack the enemy, but that
this was forbidden under pain of death
by the cOmmander-in-chief. Judging that
the attack should not be delayed, Suwar-
row. dared to disobey orders, encoun-
tered the enemy, defeated them and then
sent this message to the commander-in-
chief: las soldier l deserve death for
dlsobeylng my orders; as a Russian,
have done my duty; the enemy, is no
more" This was forwarded by the com
mander-in-chief to the Empress, who in
reply sent this dispatch to Suwarrow:
As a soldier, l leave you to the mercy
OF the commander-in-chief; as Russian,
l congratulate you as my lieutenant-colo-

locks We're too long associated with him
for the new style to admit of Il hasty
opinion. It is something to which his au-
diences must grow accustomed. Mr.
Drew is not alone, however, in this new
style of hair dressing. All the other men
on the stage, save one. had turned his
hair across his head. Nor are these men
the only ones who have revived this mode.
At the beginning of last season, when
some of the truly great swells returned
from abroad, the fashion was quite
marked, but it did not become popular
fad. 1t is asserting itself this season, not
so much as novelty, for badness seems
to be rapidly increasing.
One has only to sit in the first gallery
at a play to be convinced of this. The
fashionable barber does not hesitate to
acknowledge this, and for it he gives the
best of reasons.
"Men have for years." he says. ''been
following a mode introduced by no one
knows whom, of parting the hair straight
across the head, in direct line with the
nose. Constant brushing and constant
parting thin it to an alarming extent.
'First the line grows wider, then small
spots of badness appear with frightful
boldness. while about the crown Of the
head hair stubbornly refuses to vegetate.
This fashion, so long in vogue, has been
followed so persistently that men are now
forced to change the style. A part at the
side gives the hair an opportunity to grow
again.-New York Press

Twenty Pounds of Honey When He Got
Home from the War. s.s
Asa Witham, farmer Of Blanchard.
sMe., has been member of the Dover
company, Maine Volunteer militia, fer
two years, and is counted one of the best
marksmen in his regiment. Last Nav
when he was waiting for the government
to call the troops to Augusta ne went out
one afteronon and shot six rabbits. On
his return messenger met him in the
doorway and told MIN ne must take the
next train for the state capital. As his
canvas hunting coat was wet with the
blood of the rabbits he hung it up ON the
limb of an apple tree, remarking that II
would be well washed by the time be re-
turned from the war. 2
Witham was mustered in and went to
Chickamauga, where he was on duty ey-
cry day until month ago, when his
regiment was ordered back to Augusta.
Early this week he was sent home on a
months furlough. Being somewhat ex-
hausted from a continuous diet of hard
tack and bacon, he thought he would try
his luck at partridge shooting before set
ting down to farm work. The canvas
coat was hanging from the limb in the
orchard, but when 1Witham went to nut
it on he found that it was already oc-
cupied by a swarm Of bees, which had
taken possession of the garment during
his absence. With the aid of sulphnI
smudge fire he expelled the insects and
secured twenty-five pounds of white comb

Wedding Cake.

The cake plays less important part
at the wedding breakfast today than It
formerly did. The ceremony of cutting
it is omitted by the bride. and the cake
is offered to each of the guests to be cut,
and small cakes, or slices, are passed.
Boxes of the wedding cake, tied up with
ribbons, are usually piled in some con-
venient place, to be offered to guests as
they are departing from the house. A
good recipe for wedding cake is the
following:
Cream pound of well-washed butter
in a large bowl. Add slowly and stir
in pound of powdered sugar; then add
the grated rind of two lemons. and knead
the mixture we'll for ten minutes. A fat
wooden spoon may be used for this proc
ess, but French chefs use their hands.
just as with bread dough. Break in.
one by one, ten eggs, and repeat the
process of kneading for the same length
of time. Add now a gill of confectioners
molasses and a teaspoonful each of
cloves, cinnamon and mace, half a grated
nutmeg and two teaspoonfuls of allspice,
all mixed in the molasses. Sift pound
of flour three times, and add it to the
cake batter, stirring well. Finally. beat
in two pounds of Sultana raisins. two
pounds of Malaga raisins, one pound of
finely-sliced candied citron and a gill each
of Jamaica rum and of brandy =

ounces of the best confectioner's sugar,
and spread the icing on with thin

this process, icing it as before. but being
particularly careful to spread on the icing
evenly and smoothly. and put the cake
aside for two more hours. I. is now
ready to be decorated i'll any way desired.
Suitable decorations may be obtained of
