NEW USE FOR OLD CUPS
Just the Thing for the Mayonnaise
Dressing.
for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The ingenious woman has discovered a
new use for her old shioned cups and odd
cups. They have long been good for moth
ing in particular on account of their large
size and because they have 40 handles. Yet
these big cups are exactly the shape of
many of the mayonnaise Dishes and may be
used to advantage for this purpose
With the preaching of the doctrines of
salads by the apostles of good health there
has been an increasing use of lettuce. cell
cry, tomatoes. cucumbers and vegetables of
different kinds served cold with dressings
In consequence the mayonnaise cup has be-
come staple article of table service MANY
people prefer the French dressing to the
richer mayonnaise; some a larger quantity
than others. 1t is advisable 10 have dish
of dressing upon the table, Instead of dress
ing the individual salad beforehand
The dishes made for holding mayonnaise
are to be found in different shapes Some
are oblong, like small sauce boats with a
fiat rather than a looped handle at the end
Others are round like cups. They will all
hold perhaps half pint, and the saucers
to match are round or oblonG, according to
the shape of the dish. The round dishes are
nothing more or less than large cups
The woman who makes the most of every
thing utilizes cups that she has or picks up
at the bargain table, and has an up-to-date
article of table service with little or no ex-
pense.

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL.
Historic Ground; on Which Louisiana
Youths Are Trained

From the United Service Review.
The Louisiana State University and Agr-
cultural and Mechanical College is known
as the military college of the south. says
the Baltimore Sun. 1t is located at Baton
Rouge, and numbers among it's graduates
many men VINO now officers in the regu-
lar army. General W. T. Sherman was the
first president of the institution before the
civil war, ana, notwithstanding his espousal
of the northern cause, his memory is still
revered at this scene of his former labors,
and his life-size portrait in oils occupies
prominent place in the handsome assembly
hall of the college, g. ,.5sz 4.... "a.
THE site of the university is historic
ground. 1t was for many years a military
post, and he garrisons of France, England,
Spain the United States have all at
different periods occupied it. After it was
abandoned for military purposes 1t was
turned over to the state of Louisiana for
purposes of education. The original buf! :
ings, however, still stand and, with the
flag floating over them, present a striking
and beautiful appearance
Here, in 1873, Calves, the Spanish gov
ernor general of Louisiana, after an en-
gagement that lasted for three days cap
tured the British garrison. The Spanards
were in turn driven out by party Of Amer
leans and this marked the passing of west
Florida from the domain of Spain. In 1861
the confederates captured the post, and the
next year a desperate battle, involving both
land and forces. was fought near by,
and the confederate ram Arkansas was
blown up in the view of the land batteries.
Many distinguished officers served here
while it was still a military post. Among
those whose names are associated with the
place are Wilkinson and the first Wade
Hampton, Winfield Scott and Zachary Tay-
lor, Grant and Lee and Stonewau Jackson.
Mcclellan and Joe Johnston, Bragg, Rose
Grams. Longstreet. Harvey. Thomas and
Beauregard. Forrest and Phil Sheridan,
Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer,
Admiral Porter and Bishop General Polk
Among the great civilians recall the
names of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and Cal
houn and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly
a place elsewhere in the south so rich in
historic associations
The university is true to its traditions.
The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in
heritance and while they revere the cause
for which their ia theirs fought, no northern
boys are today more loyal to the flag which
is lowered at sunset every evening to the
well-known strains of retreat, while the
battalion of over 200 cadets stands on
parade at attention. Everything about the
university is conducted military lines
and by means of frequent inspections a
proper system of discipline is constantly
maintained.

Quoted as Terning Them Every
Reasonable"

PEKIN, Sept. 14.-RUssia now proposes
to evacuate Niuchwang and Mukden prov
ince October s, Kirin province four
months later, and Tsitsihar province a
year later.
Among the new conditions she stipu-
1ates that she shall maintain military
posts on the road from Tsitsihar, capt.
tai of Heilung Kiang. TO Blagovest-
chensk. and on the Sungari River. The
reason Russia gives for maintaining
these posts is that they are necessary
TO protect the commerce of her railroad.
There is also vaguely worded clause
prohibiting heavy duties on goods trans
ported by the railroad, which diplomats
construe as exempting Russian goods
thus transported from the surtax which
the British. American, and Japanese
treaties substitute for the likin duties.
The scheme contains a provision that
Chinese troops shall protect the branches
of the Russo Chinese bank when neces-
sary.
