4 Company of Soldiers Whose Captain
Didn't Know General Rosecrans.
The late General Rosecrans ran up
against a tartar once, but he had the good
sense not to lot his ru1iied dignity cause
him to lose his temper. Tho story, as told
by Colonel James Il. Sterling, is as fol.
lows:
Company A of the Seventh Ohio was
formerly the Light guards of Cleveland and
was ono of the very best drilled companies
In the army. It was commanded by Cap
lain Creighton. Tho Seventh Ohio was in
West Virginia in 1861, and cold Rosy"
was In command. Tho supplies for tho
lrmy were brought up the Kanawha river
In boats, which were unloaded by details
from the regiment. General Roseorans
had ordered that soldiers on duty must
year thoir equipment. Company A was
sent out to unload a boat, and Captain
Creighton permitted the men to take off
their equipment and their coats as well
while engaged IN this hard work. Whom
the work had been completed, tho men and
officers sprawled out on tho grass for q
rest, and then General Rosecrans and some
of his staff rode up. The general looked
at the soldiers a minute and thon called
for the commanding officer. Captain
Creighton did not know General Rose
Grams, but he rose to his feet.
"Who commands this c%ompany?'' asked
tho general.
II do to tho best of my ability" replied
tho captain.
Don't you know, sir" inquired the
general stcrnly, ''that it is against orders
to allow tho men to remove thor cuuip.
monts when on duty?'
II have heard ONE such order,' said
Captain Creighton, but the man that is.
sued 1t never did a days work in his lifo.
When my men have to work hard, I'll see
him in tho other place before I'll let them
swolter with their accoutermcnts on"
cold Rosy" stared ut tho cool captain q
moment and thor rode down toward the
boat.
A soldier approached Captain Creighton
and said:
"Do you know who that isp"
"No, and I don't care"
"That's General Rosccrans, the com
mander Of this department"
"Whow!" calculated Captain Creigh'
ton. Company, fall inl"
Without question it was tho finest com
pany in tho command. When tho general
and his officers rode back from tho boat,
tho company in full equipment stood In
perfect order and gave him a present in
such splendid style as to attract his atten.
ton. General Rosecrans returned tho sa
Lutte and requested the captain to put hi
men through tho manual. When it wa.
finished, tho general raised his hat, turned
to tho captain and said:

TYPICAL EGYPTIAN VILLAGE.

kd0ee OF sun Dried Mud, without ventllA.
ton and Full Of vcrmin.
h. Talbot Kelly, the English artist, has
written for The Century M article enti.
tleG "An Artist Among tho Follaheen.''
Mr.. Kelly says of q typical Egyptian vii.
lage:
Built entirely of sun dried mud, the
small, low huts, from considerations Of
economy and space, join one another
whenever possible. Narrow and t~ortuous
lanes, left at haphazard, form the only
thorcughfares, in which at ,lrst appears to
be a huge mound of mud, surmounted by
heaps of cotton and durra stalks, which
serve tho dual purpose of thntch and fuol.
Many of these lanes are nero c%uls-de-sao,
ending abruptly In a neighbours courtyard
and forcing n to retrace his steps and
try again. Experience has taught me that
1t Is mover wise to assume that tho streets
lead In tho direction at first suggested. 1t
Is often safer to start the other way and
trust to the winding o. the path to bring
ono out somewhere near the desired spot.
AS q rule, tho villages have the appear
ance of Notifications, tho outside walls be.
ing frequently without doors or windows,
and tho lanes of tho village terminating
III massive wooden DOORS, which arc usu-
ally closed at nightfall ard guarded on tho
inside by the village gutirah, or night
watchmen.
Each "houso" has usually one door,
opening into the lane, small ard low, and
tho few windows, if provided at all, ar.
merely Sits in tho mud wall, innocent of
glass or shutter, but ornamcntcl with a
lattice of split bamboo, placed crosswiso

virtually none, tho smoke of the fire of

door and we'll nigh choking tho inhabit-

but chickens, turkeys, pigeons, goats and
whatever live stock tho Inhabitants pos

Every effort to exclude air seems to be
mado, tho houses being too low to feel the
breezes, and the streets too narrow to al
low of any air circulation. Tho roofs, GOV.
cred with piles of rubbish for fuel, afford
accommodation for q second installmcnt of
goats, pigeons, cats, and especially dogs.
Ono wonders how life can be supported in
such conditions, yet tho people are we'll

Cooking Fruits For Children.

"Baked apples may be used where they
agree with children, and a raw scraped
apple may be given" writes Mrs. S. 4.

nanas should always be cooked unless
they are very ripe and the skins quite

should have a porcelain or granite baking
