THREE DAYS ON PICKET LINE
Captain Relates Some interesting In
cidents While In Front of
Petersburg.

Some time about the middle of Feb
ruary, 1865, was detailed as officer OF
the picket for duty on the line in our
front, extending from the Weldon rail-
road, not far from the Yellow tavern
on our right, to where we Joined the
First brigade's pickets of our division
on the left. My detail, as I now re-
member, was about 65 men, some from
perhaps every regiment of our brig
ade, writes G. M. Eichelberg, captain
Company G., Sixth Maryland, In Ma
tional Tribune. When we arrived at
the reserve picket post l was met by
a captain of the One Hundred and
Tenth Ohio, who had his reserve in
line to receive us, when he gave me
the number of men on duty. My first
relief was soon detailed, and in charge
of sergeant, accompanied by SER
geant who was to direct the new pick
cts to their posts and take charge Of
the old picket. The captain proceeded
to give me the orders to the officer of
the picket. He told me of the placing
of videts at night, and the persistent
custom Of the Johnny pickets of trad

Of our corps will remember how very
close our picket lines were about that
time. The captain insisted the prac-
tice of trading should be broken up,
but in my mind l right there secretly
decided l would have some rebel
news that night, if Johnny asked a
certain videt whom had in mind for
trade. l therefore selected from
my old company D, Sixth Maryland,
one John Travers, whom I knew was
| equal to any emergency that might
| arise, and had him detailed on first
relief on videt, with instructions to
trade anything the Johnnies proposed.
| Sergt. Joe. Eyler, also of Company D,
| Sixth Maryland, was sergeant of the
| first relief picket, and posted him to
answer promptly any call from any Of
the videts, but to positively disallow
any trading or any communication
from any of the videts. Travers, of
| course, excepted. There were several
calls to the first relief videts from
the rebel pickets, but all efforts to
communicate for trade except from
Travers's post was sternly refused.
John answered his man and allowed
him to approach. His proposition was
to trade tobacco for coffee, salt or sow.

Prenare for the Winter.


During the fruit season there are
many delicacies that may be over
looked in the time of preparation. be-
cause the recipes could not be found
or are completely forgotten. Here is
a nice confection which may be easily
made and which is very dainty:
Tomato Figs.-Take six pounds OF
tomatoes and three pounds of gran
ulated sugar; select small yellow or
red tomatoes; put them in a colan-
der and plunge into boiling water for
half minute, remove the skins care
fully. not to break the tomatoes.
Cover the bottom of porcelain-lined
kettle with portion of the sugar

mainder of the sugar and another
layer Of tomatoes Cook slowly until
the sugar has penetrated the center OF
the tomatoes; lift carefully with a
large fork and spread the tomatoes
carefully on granite plates and let
them dry in the sun, bringing them in
each night. Sprinkle while drying
with granulated sugar. When perfect

The historic town of Bladensburg,

For instance. the story is told that b

came in with a pitcher and asked for
quart OF milk. The merchant

,pened his eyes. and then. in tho
most injured tone. said: Gee WHIT

The children's Sunday.


To many parents. what to do with
the children to keep them happy on
Sunday, is a problem. 1t should be
the day of all the week most enjoyed;
but much depends on how Sunday Is
observed. whether the child looks for
ward to the day with joy or dread.
Children in the home mean self.sac-
rifice on the part of the parents, but
aren't they worth It? After the usual
church services are attended, and by
the-way, the wise parents OF today
take all their children to church as
soon as the mother is able to 60 with
them. A child thus reared will be-
long in the church and never have to
be urged to 20. One has to remem-
ber that children are without judg-
ment. and their little wants must be
met. A cooky and pencil will often
be all that is necessary for its con-
/ tentment.
] Let the children have an hour with
you of their own on Sunday after
noon; 1t may mean the giving up OF a
nap or a call, but keep the time for
them. Talk over things that have
troubled, then read some interesting
book closed the previous week at a
most interesting point, and keep the
book Just for Sunday reading.
Let the children have some games
and toys kept only for use on Sun
day. A Noah's ark may be an unend.
ing source Of amusement; talks on
the different animals. their homes and
habits, teach geography and nature
study. Let them use pencil and paper
with Bible names to make words. or
teach them to spell their names with
Bible verses. These may be memor.
lied.
Very young children show in short
time the general knowledge gained
by the thoughtful companionship oi
parents There are several Bible
games suitable for different ages that
may be used occasionally to vary The
program.
Another way to interest children Is
to allow one to suggest what to have
for the Sunday supper. and let them
all have a hand in getting 1t ready
These suggestions may be varied tt
suit individual needs. and parents
with a little thought can originate
countless helpful ways of spending
the Sabbath as 1t should be spent. II

Simple and Dainty Desserts.
What to have for dessert Is the
question that arises several hundred
times year. Pies and puddings, like
the poor. are always with u.s." but
are less wholesome than simpler des-
serts and fruits. Toast a few marsh

of gelatine in half a cup of water and
stir over the heat until Dissolved; add
one cupful of sugar and a quarter of a
cupful of lemon juice; turn into a
mold, stirring occasionally to prevent
the prunes from sinking. Serve with
sugar and cream.
Figs and Lemon Sauce.
Soak figs several hours In cold wa.
ter. then cook in water to cover until
plump; add a fourth of cup of lemon
Juice to the water when nearly done.

Helpful Hints.

1CIpIut rlititS.

To keep Clipped ice In the sick
room. suspend flannel bag in bowl,
put the ice In the bag and keep tight
ly covered. See that the bag Is high
enough to be out of the water. as the

Try putting the pumpkin through
the meat chopper before cooking. 1t
Is easily done and 1t needs little water
to cook and in short time is tender.
If put In the oves to stew 1t need not
be watched as carefully as IL cooked
on top of the stove.
Before removing the ribbon from
underwear. sew piece of tape to the
end OF ribbon, then draw the ribbon
out of the garment from the opposite

hours. changing the water two or
three times. Chop the rind, add 1t,
to the Juice Of the oranges and lem
ons; mix 1t with the pumpkin and
cook slowly three hours. Put in
glasses and keep in dark place.
Candy for a yellow luncheon may
be colored with saffron. Small pat
ties of fondant may be colored, then

serving ice cream is in the spun
sugar nests, any color may be used.
These nests may be made at home
after little practise, but they may
be purchased at FIVE cents each from
the confectioner.

cept one AK, to go, and ordered the
rest of the reserve in line with arms.
We soon saw the rebel detail coming,
a half dozen or more unarmed and
four guards, equipped, in charge OF q
lieutenant. He directed the wood
chopping. and pine tree, perhaps
eight inches in diameter, WAS selected
and soon cut down. Then he stepped
off perhaps ten feet, and set man to
chopping, then another, and when the
tree was cut up he set two other men
to cut down another, and ordered a
detail from each army to carry the di.
vided portions to the reserve post and
return for the next tree.

HEADS THE WOMAN TEACHERS

In 1905 Miss Grace G. Strachan placed herself
at the head of the army Of women teachers at
Brooklyn. N. Y, in their fight for better pay.
Her ambition was to see the day when her associ-
ates would receive as much pay for their services
as the janitors She made her point palmer by
demonstrating that the average pay of women
teachers at Washington. D. c.. was not equal to
that received by the city dog catcher.
She is now president Of the Ipterborough AS

of New York. and has perfected an ideal organiza,

pay basis. Three bills to bring about this were
vetoed, but the fight is still in progress.
