Thomas West Mustered Out.

There died in Washington last week
a colored veteran whose going away is
a distinct loss to- his people. Thomas
West had been employed for 81 years
in the War Department, in the Engi-
neer's Office. Previous to coming TO
Washington he had lived in Aiken and
Charleston, S. c., where he had been
County Commissioner, City Councillor
and State Register. On coming to Wash
ington Mr.. West Joined Charles Sumner
Post, and had connected himself with
many fraternal and beneficiary organ
izations. all of which attended his fu-
neral in body. The funeral was held
in Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church, of
which Comrade West had been a Trus-
tee and Treasurer for many years. The
services were conducted by the Rev.
!. n. Ross. pastor, assisted by Rev Wal
ter II. Brooks, Rev p. j. Jordan and
Rev. G. j. Young. The funeral was in
charge of Peter Ogden Lodge, G.. U. o.

While this recipe for green sweet

instance for green corn, 1t is equally
good with canned corn: Select peppers
of medium size and boil them until soft
in water to which a little soda has been
added. Cut a slice from the stem end
of each and remove all seeds and white
fiber. Take sufficient corn to fill the
peppers, season it with salt and butter,
thicken slightly, heat thoroly, then fill
the peppers. Cover the tops with bread
crumbs, place a lump of butter on top.
set the peppers in dish half full OF
water and bake until the peppers are
thoroly tender. Serve with white sauce.
Canned corn may be used instead of
the fresh.
Women who do not have to work
should have hobbies on which to spend
their surplus nerve force. That saves
them from becoming self-centered and
miserable. There should be some one
thing to claim their attention and many
smaller ones to give the spice of variety
to life. There are compensations for
every loss, and the women who miss
wifehood have several, freedom being
not the least of them. Husband and
children have claims which cannot be
overlooked and are entitled to atten-
ton which no good woman shiTks.
Don't leave milk, butter or water un-
covered in the refrigerator or anywhere
else.
There is nothing more unwholesome
looking than skin sores, no matter how
small. They INDICATE disease, and dis
ease is never attractive. They can be
cured by peroxide Of hydrogen applied
or a half teaspoonful of
lemon oil insecticide mixed with a half
cupful of warm water and cooled before |
use, but the cause should be found and |
-emedied. Regular and frequent bath |
ng, plenty of clean linen, a good soap |
and the use of a needle and thread are
able to keep one wholesome |
and sweet.

the way to stop the spreading danger of
chronic constipation. All he says is true, and

Lincoln a ThOro American.

The next thought with regard to Lin
coin is how wholly and absolutely he
was a product of our own soil. He was
as thoroly an American as our plants
and trees, and could almost be said to
be indigenous to the soil. All our other
Presidents were strongly shaped and
colored by European influences. Sew
eral OF them had received much of their
education, training and ideas in Eu-
rope, and all, except Jackson, had peen
taught by European teachers accord
ing to European models and ideas. They
had carefully studied European books
and precedents, and had grown intel
lectually upon European inspiration.
There was absolutely nothing of this
influence upon Lncoln's upbuilding.
Aside from his law books, he read and
studied little else than the Bible and
Shakspere. His law books were not
plentiful, either, and only furnished
him with rudimentary principles, upon
which he, his colleagues and opponents
developed and elaborated a legal sys-
tenn of their own, thru laws passed by
the Legislature and Interpreted by men
of strong reasoning powers sitting on
the bench. In Lincoln's day every man
who assumed to be educated and who
addressed his fellow citizens either from
the stump or thru the press, was satu-
rated with classical lore, and whatever.

ner, who could not address a town
meeting without making his preface,
pointing his arguments and celebrating
his peroration with copious extracts
from everybody from Homer down to
Cesar's Commentaries. The progressive
speakers. who had read Headley's Ma
poleon and His Marshals' wished to fill
all programs with illustrations from Ma
poleon's history, but these were regard
ed as innovators.
1t is astonishing how free Lincoln
was from initiating any of the great
orators of his day. Not a Latin quota
tion appears in any of his speeches or
writings or single classical allusion.
He spoke the language of the Bible and
