The Major Who Mixed Il Really
Could Not Tell.

KN August, 1862, the armies OF Gen.
eral Lee ana General Pope con-
fronted each other on the Rap
pahannock river. In Virginia.
General Lee had determined to attack
Pope and conceived a plan as bril-
liant as 1t was daring. He purposcd
to leave one half of his army under
Longstreet In front of Pope and throw
the other half, under Jackson. by
circuitous march to point twenty
one miles exactly between him and
Washington.
In pursuance Of his plan and to ia
cilitate its execution a day or two be-
fore Jackson started Lee determined
to throw his cavalry, under Stuart,
twelve miles in Pope's rear at Cat
let's Station, point on the railroad
connecting Pope with his capital
At that place were encamped the re-
serves, baggage and ammunition trains
of Pope's army. There. too. were his
headquarters tents. with his personal
effects. Stuart captured a number of
officers and men, large sum of
money In safe In one of the tents and
dispatches and other papers, but the
rain fell In such torrents and the night
was so dark that 1t was not possible
for Stuart to damage the railroad to
any extent or to burn the railroad
bridges or the acres of wagons before
him, all Of which. with the telegraph
wires, would have seriously crippled
Pope.

Hints for the Housekeeper.


Many women prefer to write of val
liable recipes rather than use a good
cook book in the kitchen. When this
is too much trouble, have a pane OF
glass cut to fit the size OF the open
book, bind the edge with the binding
used In passe partouting and always
have Il handy when using the book,
as It serves two purposes, keeps the
book open and clean from the spat
ters in cooking.
For a change add a minced green
pepper to scrambled eggs with a few
mushrooms Vatery custard or a Gus

Ing in too hot an oven or too long in

papers I'm the kitchen and as soon as
greasy dish is empted wipe IL out
with the paper and wash IL as soon as
possible. The paper may be burned
and so the grease is kept from the
cloth and sink
A dish which Is great favorite
with many is Goldfish served in white
sauce made of sour cream instead OF
sweet; It makes a pleasing change.
Some one says that sour cream is
good in mashed potatoes. 1t is worth
trying.
For a plant stimulant use few
crystals of iron sulphate dropped into
the watering can once a week. This
chemical being a combination of iron
sulphur and oxygen. acts as tonic
to the plants tissues.
To clean kid gloves with little
trouble and expense try this method
Soturate n bit of clean muslin with

no longer wet. With the glove on,
wipe gently from finger tips to wrist.
/ Hang the gloves I'm the air for a few

Rice, oatmeal or other cereals left

hot fat until brown. These little cakes
make a nice dessert when served with
