Very Nice Pumpkin Preserve.

A very nice preserve is made OK
the humble pumpkin. The recipe,
taken from the Boston COOKING School
Magazine, is as follows: Cut the pump
kin into inch cubes, removing the rind.
To each pound allow half a pound
of sugar and two ounces of whole
ginger root. Put the pumpkin, sugar
ard ginger into alternate layers in
a jar, and let them stand three days,
when a quantity of syrup will have
formed. Pour all into a preserving
kettle and boil slowly until the pump
kin looks clear. Store in small 1ars
or glasses, covered with paraffine.
This preserve strongly resembles pre-
served ginger. 1t may be added to
sauces and is very good when served
with ice cream or frozen puddings.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE.

THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTLE.
1t was dark, foggy, dreary at Chal-
mctte about the first hour on the
eighth day OF January. 1915, and the
little army OF the Americans lay in
silence behind the oozy breastworks
just completed. Most of the tired
soldiers were asleep, their clothes all
wet and muddy and their hands blis-
tered by the friction of piek-helve,
'shovel-stave and spade-hilt. For
whole days aud nights on half-rations,
and almost without sleep, they have
'delved in the bitches and on the EN-.
,bankmeuts. Now they lay on their
arms. A few sentinels walkel to and
fro with slow, weary tread. General
Jackson and his staff were asleep in .
plantation house not far in the rear oi
the line.
Mr.. Vernon was, by his own re.
quest, officer OF the night, and all
alone made the rounds, again and
again, Of the different commands in
the little army, from the river to the
swamp. He preferred this activity tc
any attempt to sleep. The terrible
weight upon his heart and mind was
only less crushing when he could fiud
some e1scting duty, the performance
oil which would force him to crowd
tile moments demands to the front oi
his thoughts.
A few hours more, and the battle
would come and be over with. How
would it end? In the intense selfish.
ness of love-the deepest love of hus'
band and father-ne was thinking
only of the result to his dear ones in
the case of victory or defeat. But be.
hiud the awful sense of danger to
them from their captivity to an army
whose brutality was at the time
known the world over, there lay
vast, formless, yet certain and distant
cloud of calamity creeping closer aud
closer to their lives from out OF his
past.
It was while he was standing near
the river, at the west end OF the breast.
works, where o battery OF two guns
had been planted. that band touched
his shoulder, and he turned to face
old Burns.
It was as if the tall, wasted form
had arisen out of the ground. Mr..
Vernon did not at first recognize
him, but when he spoke, the voice
was unmistakable.
"There is no use trying to resis'
the force yonder," said the preacher.
"They are five to your one. Tney will
overwhelm you in the morning. l
have been there; I know what I say"
eff they arc a thousand to one."
crowled Mr.. Vernon, Eve will whip
them."
"You cannot; they will pour right
over these works"
"They will never cross that ditch.
II tell you," said Burns with We
hemence, "there must be ten thou.
sand of them, all in columns, ready
to move at daylight"
Mr.. Vernon thrust his face close to
that OF the preacher and said:
"How do you know?"
"Did I not say that I was there?
It is not an hour since I stood within
their lines and saw what 1 have
spoken Of" was the prompt answer.
"Then come with me TO General
Jackson; he must see you and speak
with you. Come on!"
He clutched Burns's arm and led
him toward the house where the gen.
eral was sleeping.
when they had gone little way,
burns stopped suddenly, as if some
thought had demanded Instant con-

Then Mr.. Lincoln went on: You see, 1t
seems to be kind of unnatural that you
shouldn't have at least postmaster in

days past has had foreign ministers
and collectors and all kinds, and /
thought you couldn't have got in here

The Frogs Feeding.

Mr.. Frog has an enormous mouth for
his size, and IL we were to put finger
inside it we would find that he has a
row of teeth in the upper jaw and that
his soft white tongue, unlike our, own.
is attached in front and is free behind
When he wishes to catch any insect he
throws out the free end of the tongue
then draws it in so rapidly that it Is
difficult to see whether he has been
successful or not AS the tongue is
coated with a gummy fluid, the insect
sticks to it and is carried back into the
mouth, which closes upon it like the
door Of tomb. Frogs, however, are
not limited to one mode of feeding
They often leap open mouthed upon
larger prey, which includes besides in
sects small fish. mice, small ducklings,
polliwogs and tiny frogs. - Woman's
