Sir Edward Russell's new book,
"rhat Reminds Me-" contains n num-
Der of legal stories, some of which
deserve to be repeated. One of the
lest ia told as follows: "There was
once Sergeant Channell, who for
some reason was at fault somehow
about his his. One day before Justice
Creswell, sometime sayer of sly and
acrid things, ship case was being
tried, and Sergeant Channell was on
one side and Sir Frederick Thesiger
on the other. Every time the former
mentioned tho vessel he called her the
Ellen; every time the other counsel
mentioned her he called her the Helen.
At last the judge with quaint gravity
said:
"'.Stop! What was the name of the
ship? I have it on my notes the
Ellen and the Helen; which is it p
'The bar grinned. 'Oh, my lud,'
said Thesiger, in his blandest and
most fastidious manner. the ship was
christened the Helen, but she lost her
''h" in the chops of the Channell. 4"

THE ENGLISH SOLDIERS COOKBOOK
Recipes Sanctioned bv the Commander In
Chief.

Chief.
Occasionally one hears great deal
about the bad cooking and insufficient
food of British soldiers. Every now
and again some faddist or other takes
the matter up and tries to lead the
public 10 believe that our troops are
condemned to live entirely upon un-
palatable food.
Here are three recipes from Tom
my's" cookery book which are sane
toned by no less a person than the
commander in chief himself.
"Meat Soup-Ingredients: Sixteen
and one-half pounds meat, l pound
onions, pound -four, ounces salt,
IA ounce pepper, ounces sugar,
small faggot of herbs, 3 1-2 gallons of
water.
"Cut the meat into pieces Of about
four ounces, take eight ounces OF the
fat and chop it up; slice the onions.
Put the fat in the boiler; when melted
add the onions; stir them we'll so that
they do not get brown. In five min
utes add the meat, which keep stir
ring or turning over for five minutes
longer. Then add the boiling water
by degrees; let it simmer gently for
one hour. Mix the -four with cold
water very smoothly, add it TO the
soup, with the salt pepper, sugar and
herbs. Simmer gently for thirty min
utes; keep stirring to prevent the
flour from settling at the bottom"
No doubt the result of these careful
operations is n most sustaining and ex-
cellent soup, and one wonders how
many artisans or laborers get any
thing better for dinner.
The recipe for "a hurried dinner"
is much less elaborate; but il soldiers
opinions go for anything, 1t is by no
means bad one. Ii is as follows:
"Cut your ration Of meat into pieces
about the size of penny, but three
or four times thicker. Skewer them
upon piece OF wire or hard stick. A
few minutes will cook them if hing
before the fire."
The British soldiers spent Christ
mas far away from the usual English
luxuries of that festive season. 1t is
Il relief, therefore, to find recipe for
plum pudding in "Tommy's" cookery
book:
''Put into basin pound OF -four,
81 pound OF raisius (sloned, il that
can be allowed), "a pound OF the fat
OF salt pork (well washed, cut into
small dice or chopped), aud two table
spoonfuls of sugar or treacle. Add
half pint of water, mix all together;
put into cloth tied tightly; boil for
four hours and serve. III time will
not permit, boil only two hours, though
four are preferable.
There seems touch OF human
nature about the war office, after all.

New Winter Models.

Some few new models have ap-
peared with frillings of ribbon. Quito
light colors are chosen, with little
headings of black, the ribbon being of
the special kind that can be drawn
up by thread interviewer in one of
its edges. A capolne form, dropping
on the right and slightly lifted on the
left, is covered with frilling of white
ribbon headed with black. laid on in
spiral form, the edge of the brim to
the centre OF the crown. The brim ia
linod with black velvet, aud two half
amazons arc attached at the side. I'M
derneath is buuch of crimson roses,
says the Millinery Trade Review. A
taste for shaded velvet has been re-
vived, and also for combinations OF
two shades in tue covering of hat.
Velvet shaded from deep pink to
amarantbe is used for new model,
the brim of which is folded back, its
border standing mp at right angles
against the crown. Two jet brooches
in the form of buckles are inserted so
as to keep it in this position and be-
tween the edge OF the brim and tho
crown are fastened three black os-
xich tips. Aud for another, mauye

in tho most exquisite colofs are worn
on evening bonnets. One of these
new moleskin toques is lightly draped
with tulle of the same shade, aud
raised high on one side are three
water lilies in tints of cream aud faint
rose color. A chinchilla toque is
tucked up on one side by knot OF
emerald velvet, and is adorned with
big roses in black, white and pale blue
gauze. One of the very new soft felt
hats, pastel blue, falls into the most
graceful of curves, and is trimmed with
large velvet roses in shades of blue
and pale green, and placed among
them is soft chou OF gray satin.

force 10 compel order, m offence not
only 10 Moshesh, but to the Boer
farmers who still remained. Moshesh
was very shrewd.
The Beers sent for Commnndant
pretorius, who had gone across the
Vnnl with price on his head, and
the Basutos made common cause with
them. The British were beaten, and
in 1852 the Beers, with the help Of
the Basutos, forced treaty with Eng
land acknowledging their independ-
cncc. This was the birth OF the
Transvnal republic.
Beaten by the Beers, the British
pushed the war against the Bnsutos.
Sir John Cathcart led an army against
Moshesh. The Basuto chieftain re-
tired to his stronghold and left a great
herd Of cattle on convenient plain
as bait. Tho British drove off 1000
head and found themselves in an am
bush. They were badly defeated at
great loss v
Then Moshesh proved his genius.
He sent note to the defeated British
commander in which he deferentially
Legged pea'e
''You have captured our herds"
he said. You have chastised us.
Let it be enough. I entreat peace
from you" The British army marched
triumphantly home and the Basutos
celebrated with much feasting.
But the victory Of the Basutos de-
cided the English about that trouble,
some Orange river country. With
willy Moshesh holding the balance Of
power they were overmatched. The
Beers saw their position and pressed
their independence. Tn 1854 England
acknowledged their independence and
the Orange Free State of today came
into existence. The Basutos did II.
-Four years later the Beers and the
Basutos warred. The question was
one Of boundary. The Basuto horse
men made frightful ravages among
the Boer farms. Battles were fought
and ambushes laid, but in the end the
Beers conquered and the Basutos lost
much splendid farm land. But the
victory was won only with British aid,
and in the end the Basutos found
themselves British subjects.
And 80 they remain today, prosper

ncres that once were theirs and now
are the property of the republic.

novelties.
Pineapple silk handkerchiefs with

French Affection for tn. scotch.

The French people have cherished
an affection for the Scots ever since
Mary Stuart's time. but they never
got quite to the point OF taking kind
ly to the tartan in its unmitigated
state. Consequently they broke up
the checkered patterns, subdued the
tints obtained from roots and berries
and applied in all the artless gayety
OF the savage Ecossais. until they
produced an effective fabric divested
of all meaning. II is significant of
the real reiuvenation of the tartan
that these same French people are
now taking bits of the genuine plaid
and applying them upon dark-hued
backgrounds. 1t is perhaps too much
to ask them to accept the plaid as y
whole.

Colonel Nellie Irene EIdridgc.

II is not an unusual thing for the
wives and sisters OF crowned heads to
hold honorary commands as colonels,
with the privilege of wearing the uni
form and insignia of rank, bnt it is an
unusual thing for an American girl to
have that honor. Miss Nellie Irene
Eldridge, colonel and daughter of tho
Missouri department of the Grand
Army of the Republic, takes great
pride in the title. She is also the only
duly chosen and recognized daughter
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
department of Missouri.
Colonel Eldridge is a pretty girl
with an oval face, regular features, n
delicate, peachy complexion, large,
clear blue eyes and n luxuriant mass
of chestnut brown hair. She is of
medium height and has a good fig
ure, which her natty military uniform
sets off to advantage. She is pleasant
to talk to, and knows as much about
military affairs and tactics as many
officers. Her ability to drill body
Of soldiers has made her most popu-
lar.
She is daughter of Major J. w. FL
bridge, prominent in Missouri. She
was born in Huntsville, Ala, on July
"a, 1879, but has lived for the last
ten years in Springfield, NO., where
her connection with the Grand Army
of the Republic began. 1t was at the
suggestion of J. p. Tracy, congress-
man from the Seventh district of
Missouri, that she was made colonel.

Yes, August Flower still has the 1arg-

world. Your mothers, and grandmothers,
never thought of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors we're
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heat

clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton of undigested food aegulate the ac-
