lead downward. Perhaps it would
interest some of the readers of The
jeff to know that | visited the Sol
diers' Reunion at Little Rock on
Thursday of last week; had a very
pleasant time; the trip was both sad
and pleasing; it was indeed pleasing
to see the old boys in gray SO liberal
ly provided for, with the most lovely
grounds, with beautiful shades,
plenty of beds, plenty of everything,
and they were seemingly we'll pleased.
But now we come to the sadness. AS
we gazed on the Confederate monu
ment placed there in memory of the
Confederate dead, we thought of the
many brave and noble lives laid down
for home and God and country, and
the cause for which they died. We
could not tarry there. 1t calls forth
so many sad recollections which we
would like to forget. l thought OF
the widows wall, and the orphans
tears. I thought of our beautiful
country as it was before it was in
vaded by the bad, wicked men of the
North I thought of the many moth
ers' sons, who sleep in an unknown
grave. I thought of the broken
hearts and ruined homes. An, 1rlendS,
you cannot know unless you have had
the experiences how it wrings tears
from the eyes and overwhelms the
soul with sorrow to go and stand by
a Confederate monument How silent
~tands and yet 1t speaks volumes,
and to see the gray-haired veterans,
weary and decrepit as they meet
and tremblingly grasp each others
hands, and to hear the feeble voice
lisp the name Of some friend of
those bitter days, which tried mems
souls and women's constancy
But now, through sympathy for
you, Mrs. Lee, I must close this let
ter, and if the Lord will permit
shall visit you next spring when the
reunion meets at Macon, Ga. Your
sincere friend,
MRS. C. B. GENTRY.

A JUNKETTNG TRIP.

In eye olden times" it was the
fashion for the good people of Lon
don to make excursions to Devon
shire to get a dish of "Curds and
Whey or ''Slip" or "Devonshire Jun
ket," as it was called. This exqui-
site delicacy was prepared just as we
nowadays prepare a plain Junket, eX-
cept that in eye old days" piece of
rennet was used to turn the milk in
stead of the tablet used in the mod
ern household. Clothed cream from
scalded milk was heaped on the top
and a little port wine was usually
added. 1t may be assumed that at
times the latter ingredient was used
rather too freely, for the "Junketing
Trip became a synonym for hill
arious outing, to describe which the
expression is now also largely used
in this country.
Nowadays, fortunately, no one has
to go on "Junketing Trip" when he
wants Junket. Every one may have
it right at home, as the modern
method of making it is becoming so
we'll known in our country that now
the humblest of us may enjoy what
was once a favorite delicacy of the
old English gentry.
The Junket tablet, that friend of
the busy housewife, makes all our
Junket for us to-day, besides making
the way easy to a great variety of
easily prepared milk desserts and
frozen buildings. In tact, in the orin-
ion of many people, no other form of
milk dessert is quite SO naiatahle or
so easily digested as a delicious,
wholesome Junket, and certainly
nothing can surpass in attractive
daintiness this same dessert served
in the modern way with whipped
cream and crushed fruit heaped on
top.
The "Junkets'' that used to so
tickle the palate of the old Londoner
and draw him down to Devonshire.
have not lost their charm-it is only
that so many of us today do not real
ize how good they are, nor appre-
ciate as we should the pleasure we

delightful story was generally told
of it.
Coverings were needed and quilts
were the means of utilizing all
scraps.
Handwoven counterpanes in col
ors and white were made and we're
everlasting, also the quilted ones Of
two pieces Of muslin in patterns and
such darning as is impossible to have
done in this day.
Each woman was proud Of her
work, for it had been taught her
from childhood when sewing ma
chimes were unheard Of, and the work
of one would be scorned by these glo-
riOus women who have long ago
passed from our lives, leaving such
testimony Of their love Of home and
indefatigable industry. Would that
we all could have realized that with
that generation such patchwork be-
came a lost art, possibly more appre-
citation would have been shown.

WHAT COULD SHE HAVE HEARD?

Prof. Robert Herrick possesses a
full share Of the artists sensitive
ness in regard to the inartistic. Some
years ago he had for next-door
neighbors a family among whose
charms good taste was lacking.
One morning the professors little
daughter made an unexpected call at
the house of this family. SHOW me
the rug in your room," she demanded
with childish imperiousness.
The lady of the house suppressed
her wonder and took her little visitor
upstairs Inside the door the child
stood and stared at the rug for
couple Of minutes. "Hm!" she said,
and sat herself firmly in a chair, her
eyes glued to the rug. Finally she
cOnfded to her wondering hostess,

Them most of us can manage to COOK

give us q few lessons from your able
pen, on the great evils of the present
day. We, as mothers, have much to

that we, as q nation, are degenerating
and mothers are largely at fault. We
see many things practised among
the young, as we'll as the old, which
has a tendency to lead downward.
Now, if we in this generation correct
all these great evils, we have no
time to waste on green sponge,
doughnuts and such like, for in
stance, and as a starter for discus
sion, [ will here mention just few
of the present day evils. Sometimes
we see young girls arrayed in false
hair hip pads and out riding on both
sides of the horse, Whistling or
chewing gum, wearing mems hats,
and sometimes yelling like wild In
dams. Now, we all know that young
girls are peculiarly exposed to in
furious and fatal influences where a
proper guard is not thrown around
them. Mothers, may [ ask you, how
much more glorious and lady-like
will be the character of your child as
it kneels at Gods altar, or patiently
teaches a class, or visits the aged
and sick, and in the darkness and
desolation of poverty-stricken homes,

A
A-~-S tinct fancy patchwork quilts,
has brought the work of our grand
mothers to the we'll deserved atten-
ton of this present time.
My fathers aunt was an inveterate
quilt maker. Every member of the
family had quilt ''Auntie" made.
She had grown too feeble to do any
thing that required any exertion and
ell she did was to patch these beau
tiful quilts and tell us wonderful
tales that we yet recall.
Many of these pieces she could tell
after years who gave them to her.
Tedious squares were made of the
Double Tulip" in red, yellow and
green on white ground, "Rising Sun, :"
"Basket and Handel Double Sun
flower" and many numerous and in
tricate designs, but always she kept
the family with a double ''T' in hon
or Of my father.
Patterns were exchanged among
close friends, and any child that has
missed seeing cotton bats" carded
has lost a heap of fun and display of
amazing speed and skill. Present day
electrical contrivances are nothing
compared to the speed with which
those cards flew.
When all was in readiness. the
quilting to be done, some of the ones
whose quilting was famous and had
watched the squares grow, were
asked to spend the day and help to-
wards "getting out" the quilt How
they would talk as their needles
flew, and gradually a part of this
beautiful fancy work would be rolled
on the frames great precision in all
they did from start to the binding.
There we're quilts made of the col
Ored pieces appliqued on white goods.
Pieces of cardboard were used as a
pattern SO that each piece should be
exact. 1t was tedious work cutting
and basting the flowers before the
telling could be begun. The very
finest Of tiny stitches were used, and
each woman strived to have hers the
finer. The Ostrich Plume, Double
Lines, Shell and other numerous pat
terms of tiny stitches were used in
quilting to bring out the color design
more prominently.
The calicoes then were different
from any we see now, better in tex
ture and colors EAST and better
blended. Such reds, green's and or
anges can't be found as they used
with such splendid harmonious and
enchanting effect.
Every girl was taught from child
hood to sew and do it right. My eyes
would almost pop out of my head to
hear Auntie tell how she was made to
sit up straight and sew fine, and if
she bumped her shoulders she had a
board put down her back and strap
ped to the back of her chair so she
couldn't lean over. Vainly did she
try to teach some of her beautiful
work to me and one quilt did get
pieced, but was never quilted In
her day every girl had numbers of

Rose Leaves and Brown Sugar.

You took rose leaves-fresh rose
leaves-and mixed them with brown
sugar. Then you wrapped them In
leaf from a grapevine and buried the
whole business In the ground. You
let them stay for three days. At the
end Of that time you dug them up and
ate them, ate them with rapture known
only to those who have eaten this par
ticular delicacy. for to the natural
fragrance of the rose leaves and the
nourishing and delicious properties OF
the brown sugar that interval OF three
days in the warm earth had added 0

had been at work and transformed the

MOTOR AND DYNAMO.
Different In Function. Yet Almost ldsn.
teal In Construction.

teal In Sonstructon.
IL Is n very common error 10 confuse
a motor with n dynamo. and but very
few. outside OF electrical engineering
circles. can explain the difference be-
tween these two machines. The news
paper man writes about the "dyna-
mos burning out and setting the
street car on fire or tells Of the giant
motors whirllng at tremendous
speed in the power house, and very
few realize that a mistake has been
made.
To explain In the simplest language.
Z dynamo is a machine driven by me-
chanical energy, which converts that
mechanical energy into electricity,
another form of energy. A motor Is
a machine that takes the electrical
energy generated by the dynamo and
converts 1t back again into mechan-
ical energy. And, curiously enough.
the two machines are almost identical
In their construction. Indeed. some
dynamos can be operated as motors
and some motors as dynamos without
any change whatever.
Going little into detail. a dynamo.
or generator. as II is now more com-
monty called by electrical men. Is a
machine consisting Of what is called
an armature which Is made 10 revolve
between the poles OF magnet or
group OF magnets. The armature con-
tains great many loops OF wire.
which cut the lines of magnetic force
which flow from one magnet pole TO
that OF opposite polarity. Although
no one can see how IL Is done. II is
nevertheless true that this simple proc
ess causes current of electricity TO
flow through the wire OF the armature.
which may be led out OF the latter
through suitable sliding contacts or
brushes and sent out through the con-
Quoting wires Of circuit which may
extend many miles. The current Is
supposed. for convenience, TO flow out
over one wire and back over the other,
keeping up continuous flow through
the armature and outside circuit.
There you have the dynamo. To
operate the dynamo mechanical energy
such as that OF steam engine or
water wheel is required. The more
current you take out Of the armature
the harder IL is to turn.
Now. IL you take a machine similar
to a dynamo away out somewhere on
the line and connect its terminals to
the two wires OF the circuit the cur
rent which is being generated by the
dynamo flows through the armature
of this second machine. and, 10 and
behold. the armature begins to spin.
There you have the motor, which Is
nothing more than a dynamo running
backward and using up current In
stead of producing II. Put n pulley on
the shaft Of the motor and you get
mechanical power again, which Is
what you started out with. That Is
why motors are so economical and
convenient where mechanical power Is
required. Great dynamos In power
station generate current In vast guam
titles, which Is sent out over the lines
to be used up In motors of all types
and sizes from thirty second Of
horsepower up to a thousand horse
power, as desired. Now, when you
want to operate sewing machine 10y
power you buy a little motor to do 1t.
A few years ago 1t would have been
necessary for you to put In boiler
and steam engine.-Electrical News
