How to Cook Corn Meal.

It is only recently that women
have appreciated the value of good
cookery. The simple everyday
things have been considered of little
Importance and often entirely neglect
ed. Even the cook books give but
little information about some of the
things which everybody should know.
Among these is corRmeal. When it is
properly prepared it Is healthy arti-
Gle of food. But as it Is usually cooked
it is indigestible and unfit even for a
strong stomach. The common way of
making cornmeal mush, for instance,
is to stir the meal without measuring
it into boiling water until it is thick,
and when it has cooked five or ten
minutes it is done. By this process
it is hard and raw, and wholly unfit to
eat. 1t is surprising how much it is
improved by little extra cooking. and
it can be made q delicacy with very
little trouble.
Take one quart Of water, add one
teaspoon.of salt. When it boils stir in
one cup of yellow cornmeal. Let it
boil for ten minutes, then set it back
on the stove, where it will cook slowly
and not burn, for one hour and stirring
occasionally. Pour into mold and let
stand over night. In the morning it
will be firm enough to slice well, and
when it is dipped in grated bread
crumbs and quickly fried it will be
pleasant surprise to those who have
been accustomed to eating it the old
fashioned way.
Corn bread, or "iohnny cake" as it
is often called, is greatly improved by
the following directions:
Put the milk that the recipe calls
for on the stove, and when it is hot
stir in the cornmeal and let it cook for
ten or fifteen minutes. An easy way
to prevent it from burning is to set
the dish or an asbestos pad. Then
proceed with the mixing in the usIal
way. The extra cooking removes the
raw taste of the meal and greatly i'm
proves the flavor of the bread, besides
making it entirely digestible. e.-Chi-

"A LOCK OF NapoIeon-s lair.

A unique souvenir of the great Napo-
leon Is kept in the family of his old
nurse and attendant. being now in the
possession Of Prof. Bagley, of Abilene,
Kan. He is a native of the island of
st. Helena, and his mother was one of
the intimates of the guardians of Ma
poleon. When the Emperor lay dying
his old nurse stole to his side and
clipped from his head lock of hair.
Part of the lock she gave to Mr.. Bag
ley's mother and she gave 1t to her son.
1t Is kept in bottle and Is black and
gray, with trace Of brown. For forty
years the bottle has been kept in dark
room, that the hair may not be injured
by the light. There are about forty
strands in all. The relic is held at a
great value by the possessor. He has
given by Napoleon and some other
minor souvenirs from the island of St.
Helena.
The only other portion of the body CT
Napoleon known to be on this continent
is q single hair that Richard Watson
Glider once owned. He kept 1t In his
watch case. When the watch was re-
paired he forgot to tell the jeweler of
the precious contents. When he went
to get it he asked; Did you find any
thing in the case?
YES" replied the workman. "there

A Suit without a Parallel.

Memphis, Tenn, lawyers have
brought suit in Weakley County for
damages for defamation of character,
alleged to be contained in an epitaph
cut on a tombstone. Such a cause for
action is probably unheard Of in the
annals of the courts of the country. In
December, 1896, L. B. Cate was shot
and killed by one Bill Penic. Penic
was indicted and tried on the charge of
murder. He was defended by the same
lawyers who are now acting for him
In this civil suit. The accused was ac
quilted on the plea of self-defense
The parents of the deceased, L. B. Cate
thought to honor his memory by erect
ing a suitable tombstone over his
grave, and having cut in the marble a
legend setting forth some of the circum
stances of his taking off. The follow
ing was cut on the tombstone:
IL. B., son OF ]. G. and L. ]. Cate.
Born April 10, 1870. Married Willie
Freeman December 81, 1887 Was shot
and killed by Bill Penic December II,
1896; caused by Penic swearing to a
lie on Gates wife. Aged 26 years 6
months and 1 day
1t is alleged by Penlc that this stone
was lettered by ]. H. Hutchinson, OF
Martin, and it is alleged that the stone
was exposed to public gaze In the yard
of Hutchinson for quite while before
it was erected at the head of the grave
containing the remains of the deceased
Cate. Since the vindication of Penic
by the trial jury in Weakley County he
has sought reparation for the wording
of this tombstone. The complainant
seeks damages from the sculptor and
of $4,000.

THE UNIFORMS OF SOLDIERS
Austrian Gray IL the Least Fatal
Color on the Battle Field

The ideal uniform should be suitable
for the season and the place and circum-
stances under which it is worn. The coll
or should be that which mostly resembles
that of dried grass, so that soldiers wear
ing it should be as little in evidence as
possible The red ana giaring uniforms
of the British soldier of years ago has been
entirely discarded by that government,
for the reason that it too clearly indicated
the wearer to an enemy. 1t proved
to be the most fatal color that has yet
been devised. On the other hand, stats
ties prove that the Austrian gray IS the
least fatal. Where seventeen soldiers
wearing the British red fell by the bull
lets of an enemy only seven who wore
rifle green, six and half who wore
brown. and five who wore the Austrian
blush gray fell. General Robert i. Lee
who made an investigation into this mat
ter when he was in charge OF West Point,
before the war of the Rebellion, made
report in favor OF gray as the color Tor
uniforms, and ever since then the cadets
at West Point have worn uniforms OF
bnaJ COlOl IL WIS dlsO III lli9 9hl4iO -
son that General Lee adopted the gray
colored uniform for the Confederate army
The crack regiments of the country the
Seventh regiment of New York, the Fifth
regiment of Maryland, and Others wore
gray uniforms before the war III conse-
auence of General Lees report. There IS
no doubt that soldiers are hit in battle
according to the color of their uniform.
In the last war the union cause lost many
a thousand men who would not have been
lost had the uniform been less decided IN
color. The dark blue uniforms worn by
officers the first two years OF the war
were especially fatal, as they gave sharp
shooters an easy way to distinguish OIL
GERS. 1t is needless to say that the dark
blue was very generally discarded by
officers before the war was oven, especially
for real engagement uniform. Any color
will do for parades, practice and the IKE,
but when it comes to fighting That "hlch
makes the soldier less conspicuous IS the
least fatal for war. The new canvas uni
form affords less opportunities to an
enemy than any other which has ever
been designed, and from a distance an
approaching army can hardly be distin-
euished by the naked eye, because the
color is so allied to that of the dried grass
over which the army is marching.
