Gen. MeDowelrs Ability.

William Houghton, Major, Nth Ind.
Loogootee, Ind, says that he was much
interested in reading Capt. VIM. NJ.
Stork's objection to Comrade McElroy's
estimates of Gems. Mcdowell and N. p.
Banks. Capt Stork considers Mcdowell
a great General, and bases his esti-
mate on the opinion of Gen. Haupt. He
uses nearly a column in establishing the
reputation of his witness. No doubt
Gen. Haupt was all he represents, and
in his own special lines glowing sue
cess, but it takes more than the in
formation of special friends or certifi-
Gates of prominent ability to establish
the military reputation of a command
er. The world demands success. and
by no ether token will they be con-
vinced. Maj. Houghton felt sorry for
Mcdowell on account of the Bull Run
campaign, which was forced upon him.
He did reasonably well considering all
his troubles; his plan of battle was
good, and his men fought well at the
opening. They would have probably
fought well to the end If Johnston had
been held in check by Patterson. 1t
does not seem that such stampede as
McDowells army made to Washington
would have occurred If there had been
man of the character of Sheridan to
check it and infuse order Mcdowell
lacked the power to inspire men, and
lead them to victory. He lacked the
power which Gen. Sheridan SO well de-
scrlbes in his view of the Warren court
martial: 1.-The power to command men
and give vehement impulse to their
joint action Is something that cannot be
defined by words. but is plain and mani
fest in battle, and whoever commands
an army must choose his subordinates
by reason of qualities which can alone
be tested in actual conflict"
No doubt Mcdowell was a faithful
and patriotic soldier, but lacking this
power he was not successful COM

Soldiers Homes.

Levi H. Mullen. 7th Iowa Cav, Birch
Tree. Mo-, is in favor of the Sherwood
bill if it can be modified to give every
pensionable veteran 81 a day. without
regard to length of service. The Gov
ernment is putting much money into
the Soldiers Homes all the time, while
it will not be many years until they are
tenantless. Why not give the money
instead to the veterans to support them
selves outside of the Homes? In the
California Soldiers Home he notes that
the Government has appropriated about
S15O,000 to be expended in improye-
ments. This is very commendable, but
would it not be better to give the 3O0,-

THE FAMILY.
BY SENoRA SARA.

Oranges are society's latest fad for
obesity. And the theory upon which
this fruit is used is that the Juice is a.
substitute for food, no other nourish-
ment being taken except at night when
the cult declares that the heaviest and
most fattening of dinners may be eaten
without danger Of adding q pound OF
flesh.
There Is no doubt but that the pure
juice is one of the best blood purifiers
and system regulators that is known,
and its effect upon the complexion is
evident after a few weeks. The skin
becomes clear and the color fresh,
while the eyes are brighter. This meta
morphosis is not to be expected In a
week, of course, but it will come in
time. and the cure is neither so expen-
sive nor unpleasant as not to commend
itself.
According to experts on the subject.
the pulp is to be rejected, for only the
juice Is of value. This must come from
sweet, sound and sufficiently ripe fruit.
Sugar with it Is not permitted.
Green tomato mock rnince pie. Ever
try it2
While this compound is rather un-
usual, it is extremely tasty" and not
expensive. To four quarts green toma-
toes, chopped fine, allow three pounds
brown sugar, the juice of two lemons
and their yellow rind, grated, a table
spoonful each cinnamon, allspice and
salt, half teaspoonful cloves and a
teaspoonful grated nutmeg. Put into
a porcelain-lined kettle and simmer
gently until reduced one-half in bulk.
raisins, or part raisins and part cur
rants or chopped prunes. and a cup
boiled cider. Then cook an hour or
two longer until thick.
This recipe for orange pie Is good.
Add one rounding tablespoonful of
corn-starch, mixed with one cup Of
cold water, to three-quarters cup OF
boiling water and cook three minutes.
Add pinch of salt. the grated rind of
one and one-half oranges, the juice Of
three oranges, one cup of sugar and
cool. Beat in the yolks of two eggs
and the white of one well beaten, and
pour into a paste-lined plate. Bake
and cool slightly Cover with a me-
egg beaten stiff with a level tablespoon
full of powdered sugar, and set in
cool oven for 10 minutes.
Bananas are very good eating. if they
are good at all, but some people find
them little indigestible. Here are
some recipes for using bananas. To
make banana cream:
Peel six bananas and mash them
with sugar to taste, add the juice Of
two lemons and a tablespoonful of
honey and simmer 1t for 10 minutes.
Dissolve one ounce of gelatine in very
little hot water, then stir it into half a
pint of hot cream, continuing the STIR
ring until nearly cold; put all into a
mold and set upon ice. This should be
made the day before 1t is wanted. Serve
with water biscuits.
Another nice recipe is called banana
cheese.
Skin some bananas and cut each into
four pieces; simmer them in a little
sugar, then pass the pulp thru sieve.
To every pound of the pulp allow one
half pound of loaf sugar crushed small
Boil together until quite stiff, then pour
into plates lightly oiled, and set in a

Neglect of the National Cemeteries.

Valentine King, Superintendent of
the National Cemetery at Seven Pines.
enters his strong protest against the
neglect by Congress of the National
cemeteries. In these, claiming only
small portion of ground, lie the men
who saved the Nation, and who gave
up everything in order to fight for the
country's rescue. The places where
they rest should be the object of the
Nations solicitous care. but private
cemeteries of cities and corporations
are better cared for than those belong
ing to this great Government. The APP
preparations made by Congress are en-
tirely insufficient to keep the cemeteries
up to the standard required. IF the
Superintendent needs small sum to
make absolutely necessary repairs to
buildings, drains, walks, ETC., il is fully
IL months before he can get a response
and allowance OF funds.

Preference for Veterans.

r. e. Burns, 9th N. Y, Cushing,
Okla, calls attention to the injustice
of the Civil Service Commissions ruling
that only those veterans are entitled to
preference who were discharged from
the service on account of wounds or
disability. This excludes all those who
were discharged because of the expira-
ton of their term of service or the
close of the war. and does the greatest
injustice to men who fought the war
thru and are now applicants for posi-
tions on the rural free deliveries.

Paying Pensions

George w. Brown, Maine veteran
and Postmaster at Wayne, Pa. recon-
mends that the method of payment of
pensions be changed by the Pension
Bureau supplying the veterans with
blanks, which are to be filled out, at
tested as usual. and then presented to
the Postmaster, who will have funds
supplied him for meeting the checks,
and the vouchers will be his receipts
for the expenditure OF the money.

needed which will freshen the whole

If of wash goods then belt yoke and
cuffs will be of lace. When wooden goods
are employed the belt is usually of silk
or of the material.
The frocks known as tWo-piece dresses
have waist and skirt of the same ma
terial on the whole, although sometimes
thew only match in color. Again, two
piece garment will be nothing more than
a skirt and a bib, a small jumper or sus-
renders by way of waist.
To be up-to-date. however. the waist
part must bear relationship to the skirt
in some form.
This model is. of course. more con-
venient than that cut in one piece. as the
skirt and a plain blouse can be worn I'M

sleeves of the one-p piece gown might be

All three models are adapted to almost
every fabric. so that only becomingness

OF these the conventional princess IS
perhaps the prettiest model for lingerie
frocks especially if the wearer Is OF the

of tuckine up and down at the waist line
give an agreeable fullness at these points.
