Hot Cross Buns.

Mix one and half pints of sweet milk and one yeast cake, dissolved in half cupful of tepid water, with four enough to make a thick batter. Set this mixture in a warm place and let 1t rise over night. In the morning add one cupful of sugar, half cupful of melted butter. one saltspoonful of salt, half a nutmeg grated and just enough -four to make batter that can be han dled. Knead well and let the dough rise four or five hours. Roll it out to quarters of an inch thick and cut into round cakes. Lay them in rows on a buttered biscuit pan and when the buns have stood in the pans half an hour make a cross with knife upon the top of each one. Place the pans in moderate oven and bake the buns light brown. Beat the white of an egg stiff and add to the egg a little pow dered sugar and lightly cover the tops of the buns when they are taken from the oven.

EASTER MILLINERY.
Wealth of Flowers, Beantiful
 Straws, Laces and Plumes.

A Wealth of Flowers, Beautiful
 Straws, Laces and Plumes.
 Milliners are at the height of their supreme power. Never before has a future of more picturesqueness charm and becOmingness been heralded in the Easter display of the shops. The ca prices of the goddess of the mode have taken a charming turn toward original tty and grace, and becoming style for every type of beauty Is to be found One is fascinated by the good taste and simplicity of the finest models, although luxuriousness and costliness appear in the making and trimming The di- syersity of expression in each modistes creative talent produces perfect wealth of novelties. The new glace straw, enecting a bright and silky ap- pearance, composes many Quaintly trimmed hats turned up sharply be- hind and garnfshed with a cache peigne of flowers. A tuscan straw chapeau of unusually large proportions trimmed with black ribbon velvet has direc- toire fashioned brim, decorated with rosettes of black ribbon velvet, finished by center ornaments having loose fall ing pompons of finely plaited straw.
 Other curious straws depict moss, each strand of the green, soft, fluffy cut straw worked ingeniously to form broad, flat shapes, much smaller than last seasons toques, trimmed with ex- quisite roses, foliage or fruit.
 Tulle twisted with pompadour silk and ribbon velvet, interlacing with won- derfully shaded strands of straw, com pines singularly original and pretty hats.
 Guipure and a thick kind of yak lace, bordered with velvet and decorated with soft long plumes and killings of mousseline, together with rosettes of tulle, are equally smart for reception headgear. A soft supple straw in all colors, plaited and pulled into original garniture, will be a popular trimming in itself for toques completed with an ppstanding black and white osprey in front
 Extraordinary workmanship produced in delightfully."- harmonizing colors is

fashioned in the latest modes. The color scheme displays rich reds, from deep claret and bright cerise to the soft pastel pink and rose, and promises to combine many becoming novelties for demiseason wear, while green and blue will be fair rivals for an unusual ly large number of white and burnt straw examples. The richest tones of amber and orange, shading off to a pale yellow, also figure conspicuously in the. seasons novelties.
 Some of the new round flat French hats, the latest outcome of the Breton sailor, turning off the face, are very stylish. One, in palest blue straw, has the very flat crown encircled with cerise satin loops, supplemented by an empire wreath of green leaves.
 The hat illustrated is in the order of the three cornered turbans that prom 1se to be among the favorites. This particular one is carried out in pale blue satin straw, the only trimming being the broad lawn quill thrust through the front, finished off with a rosette of the straw

boat, and she lied up the bayou out of sight After the retreat of the Diana Emory's men moved steadily on across the plain, both columns keeping abreast.
 The Confederate works on the right of the bayou terminated in, a redoubt, and 500 yards in front of this lay the Third Texas regiment. The Texans fought off the One Hundred and Fifty sixth New York and held their ground until the Thirty first Massachusetts dashed to the help of the New Yorkerss The Eighteenth Louisiana and two in- dependent battaltons joined the Tex ans, and brisk fight ensued over the rifle pits. While the spirited action was taking place on the extreme flank the main line of Federals, led by the Thir- ty-eighth and Fifty-third Massachu- setts, supported by the First Maine bat tery, marched steadily up to the Con- federate works and halted under fire to await general attack Meanwhile the column on the left marched forward Ill the face of hot fire from the Confed- crate guns. This fire was kept down in part by Federal guns, but the musketry from 2 dense canebrake held by the Confederates on the extreme left in ad- vance of the works threatened the de- struction of whole brigade. The Sev- enty-fifth New York, regiment sea- soned by many bayou fights, dashed into the canebrake, hoping to drive out its occupants and turn the flank of the breastworks in the rear. The brake was cover for two regiments of Texans and Louisianians, who, aided by the guns of two batteries in the works, quickly checked the New Workers.
 Re-enforced by the One Hundred and Fourteenth New York, the Seventy fifth dashed into tue brake. but the canes stood so thick that the enemy could not be seen. While both armies looked on from distance at this brisk fight in the brake the combatants themselves, enmeshed in the impene- trable tangle, could not see each other when only few yards apart The fight ended in the repulse of the New York CTS, and the day being at an end Banks waited for news of Growers at- tack at Irish Bend before pressing the charge home. Next morning at day break the Federal skirmishers rushed forward and found Fort Bisland de serted Emory marched after the re-, treating enemy, which led him toward Lr.iSh Band

[Copyright, 1903, by G. L. Kilmer.l
 A PRlL B and IA, 1863, two sharp
 M actions were fought at Fort Bis kA land and Irish Bend, La., in the
 W tedious campaign of opening the
 lower Mississippi to Federal ships of war. Grants plans for reduc- ing Vicksburg were still hazy The Confederate garrison there drew sup plies from the Red river country. Port Hudson's guns still drowned upon the channel, barring it to Farragut's fleet, and several Confederate forts stood guard in the passes of the bayou just west of the Mississippi, the natural route for Federal land forces to march up the river. Grants army, with Por- ter's ships, was struggling down the river and Banks army, with Farra guts fleet, moving up from New Or leans by slow stages. Grant was stopped by the guns of Vicksburg and Banks by the batteries at Port Hud- son. Their forces united against ei- ther stronghold would speedily fix its doom Banks decided to sweep away the Confederates ill the bayou passes and by so doing open the way for his column to reach the rear of Port Hud- son from the west bank, and also reach the Red river country.
 The Confederates, under General Dick Taylor, held strong positions on Bayou Teche, at Fort Bisland and Irish Bend With two divisions of the Nineteenth corps, under Emory and Grover, Banks attacked Taylor, nov ing his troops to the scene by a fleet of river gunboats. Growers division was to attack the Confederates at Irish Bend and drive them back upon Fort Bisland, which in the meantime En- ory would carry by assault. Owing to delay in putting his men ashore in the shallow water of the Teche, Grover did not open the fight until the 14th, when Bisland was already in the hands of Emory
 Emory's force moved against the fort 1n two columns, marching up both banks of the bayou. A few days before the attack the Confederates had cap tured the Federal gunboat Diana, which they turned to good service by opening her batteries upon the line of battle Fortunately for the troops a, thirty two pounder Parrott shot from gun of the First Indiana battery on shore crashed into the engine room of the daring gun

Egg Rolling.

Egg rolling is one of the prettiest chs- toms of the festive kind that survive in this part of the world. Ever so long ago, perhaps century, in the neigh borhood of Baltimore and adjacent counties of Virginia it was the habit of the children to go out in little par ties on Easter Monday and roll eggs together. For some reason unexplain- cd the sport has become in manner localized in Washington on the White House grounds. All kinds and colors of eggs are used, but in Mesopotamia, the country in which egg rolling is said to have come originally, only red eggs are used
