General Grant at vIcksburg.

Whether General Pemberton Was bet
ter advised than were the citizens and
soldiers OF Vicksburg regarding the
impossibility Of relief from the outside,
as was believed by many of his own
men, he was too fastidious In the matter
of his diet to relish the prospect OF cat
and dog ragouts or strips OF leather
made into soup, he surrended tbs city on
the Fourth of July, 1883, to General
Grant.
Strangely sentimental for man OF his
phlegmatic temperament, the Union
general insisted, under the threat of mo
terms otherwise" upon the humiliation
of surrender on Independence Day by
an army OF heroic men, many OF them
descended from those who had suffered
with Washington at Valley Forge and
triumpbed with him at Yorktown.
Bearded veterans, behind the guns of the
Notifications and In the trenches, wept
bitter tears and cursed their commander
for Q coward and a traitor when they
heard what he had done.
Under the very favorable terms Of
capitulation named by General Grant, In
accepting which General Pemberton, as
we see now, acted sensibly, although 1t
cost him dearly in popularity, the Con-
federate army of defence was paroled,
all officers retaining sidearms, and soon
began to dispense and return homeward.
In their knapsaoks the men of the rank
and file, now waits OF war, carried for
the first time in many months ample
rations, pressed upon them by hospita-
BILE and admiring foe. Men who, to tan
talize the starving Confederate soldiers,
had shaken well-filled coffee pots and in
viting morsels of food in grim derision,
and In the face of death, across the en-
battled trenches, now We'd with each
other in seeing that their former enemy
was laden with such good food and
luxuries as had not been enjoyed since
the capture of the well.provisioned
Union camps and wagon trains at Shiloh.
This spirit of brotherly appreciation
for brave though fallen foe was reflect
ed in the men from the qualities of their
heroic leader, General Grant, who, para
doxical as it may seem, was even then a
popular conquering general. he sup
pressed with an iron hand, looting, vio-
lence, and vandalism. He collected and
listed all stolen goods which could be
found among his men, and placarded the
city and surrounding country with a
proclamation calling upon all citizens
who had been despoiled to call at head
quarters and identify and reclaim their
property. We learned this, however,
too late to save our own effects.-W. W.
Lord, in Harper's Magazine.

Discuss not thy husbands faults ant

Thou shalt not nag. Use tact; fol

Thou shalt not whine. It is two

Simple Fruit DumpIlngs.

From rich biscuit dough cut rounds
four or five inches in diameter and
quarter of an inch thick. Dispose any
desired fruit in the center of each round
and pinch the edges up over it to cover
it completely. A ripe peach brushed to
remove fuzz; four or five quarters OF
tart apples; few spoonfuls of berries OF
cherries may be used. Sweeten the
fruit slightly and in each dumping
place a good lump of butter. Apples
should be sprinkled with cinnamon.
Place the dumplings in buttered
granite pan just large enough to hold
them. Over all pour cup of sugar and
| fill the pan with cold water almost to
cover the buildings. Bake from twenty
minutes to half an hour. Serve hot with
cream.

"Her voice IL ever soft and low"
The poet has ever accredited to woman
voice, full, rich and musical. But IN
reality how few snch voices do we lind.
As teacher, l have occasion to
notice this often. Listen for few
minutes to a group of girls talking.
their voices become higher, more shrill
and penetrating each minute, until they
are all practically yelling and shrieking.
Let us teach our young people, boys,
as we'll as girls, that to make ones self
clearly understood, the voice should be
pitched somewhat low; that the lips
were made to move and help form the
words, and these words should be spoken
slowly enough to be perfectly distinct.
As q people, all Americans suffer more
or less from throat trouble. Why can
we not teach our boys and girls that any
undue strain on the throat and vocal
cords weakens them and leaves the
throat susceptible to cold and irritation.
From the viewpoint of culture, re-
finement, and true courtesy, there is
nothing 80 all-important as musical
voice. In these days of woman's ad-
vancement, We must be very careful TO
remember that, after all, we are women,
and desire to be known as gentlewomen.
Let us be mindful of our voices and thus
by example aid our boys and girls to be-
come what we all 80 much want them to
bs-true gentlewomen and gentlemen

Hints.
Popovers served with hard sauce make
a simple and very good dessert.

Popovers served with hard sauce make
simple and very good dessert.
When the family rebels at having can
ned peaches served to them for dessert,
try combining the peaches with oranges.
Drain off the juice from the peaches and
sweeten it slightly, unless 1t is already
very sweet. Cut up a dozen oranges to
every quart of peaches and arrange them
| in glass dish in alternate rows. Sprin-
kle each with powdered sugar and pour
over all the sweetened syrup OF the
peaches. Serve very cold.
To keep lettuce or parsley crisp, wash
thoroughly, place in granite pan and
cover tight. All water should be drain
ed from it, leaving only what clings to
the leaves. Place in ice-box or on the
floor of dry, cold cellar. You will find
it beautifully fresh at the end of the
third day, and when it was newly pick
ed have kept it even longer.
Cheese sandwiches made thus are de-
licious with salad: Cut bread thin and
toast brown one side only. Spread the
| toasted side with mixture OF cream
cheese, seasoned with salt and paprika
and worked to a paste with cream. Press
two slices together, cut In any desired
shape and size. Toast the outsides.
Stuffed baked fish Is very palatable
Prepare fish for cooking, wash In cold
water. Make dressing of bread crumbs,
salt and pepper, melted butter and one
egg. Stuff fish and sew together leav-
ing enough space for the dressing to
rise while cooking. Have hot water
and melted butter in roast pan with
which haste the fish occasionally. In
one corner of the pan place large white
onion which will absorb all odor OF the
6sh. The fish however will not taste Of
the onion. Bake about one hour.
When making fudge, add one teaspoon
OF corn starch to the other ingredients
and it will always "fudge" to perfection.
A little saffron added to the water In
which tan stockings are washed will
keep them from turning that ugly yellow
color.
To entirely remove the odor Of onions
from the vessel in which they were cook
ed, wash the dish, then nearly fill 1t with
cold water, add q handful of wood ashes,
| let stand several hours and then wash
again.

Ham ScaIlop.

Two cups of cold boiled ham, ground
fine, and six hard-boiled eggs. When
cold, separate the whites from the yolks,
and chop fine. Make thick cream
sauce of two tablespoonfuls of butter
and four of -four. Cook until smooth,
then add a pint of sweet milk. When
thick, season with salt and pepper. But
ter baking dish, put in layer CO sauce
first, then add, in succession, ham, yolks
of eggs, whites, and top layer of sauce,
busted ovsT with fine cracker crumbs
and email pieces of butter. Bake until
brown, which will be in about half 90
hour. This makes nice luncheon dish,
and scraps of ham, or pieces clinging to
the bone that cannot be served sliced,
can be utilized in this way.

The Suppressed Story.
WHY AFTER WINNING A PRIZE 1T WAS
NEVER PRINTED.

A number of years ago series OF
prizes for the best detective story was
offered by certain well-known West.
ern newspaper, and the late F. R. Burton,
in collaboration with fellow craftsman,
entered the competition. Their story,
the theme of which involved an ingen-
ious method of robbing safe in spite
of the protection afforded by time
lock, was one of the five which won
prizes, and the authors portraits we're
duly published in the issue of the paper
which announced the result of the COM
petition. The prize money, constituting
a considerable sum, was promptly paid
over, but the authors surprise, although
the other four winning stories were pub.
lished, that of the time-lock failed to ap.
pear. After a few weeks representa-.
tive of the paper called upon MIR. Burton,
explaining that the editor was anxious to
know what authority he had for bis
story and whether it would really be
possible to rob bank after the fashion
that he bad set forth. With the help OF
a pencil and few diagrams Mr.. Burton
easily proved the accuracy of the
method to the apparent satisfaction Of
bis interviewer, and thereafter looked
forward to a prompt appearance of the
story. But a few days later the secret
of the delay was revealed. A special
envoy of the paper waited upon him,
full of CONSERVATION and apology, and
prepared to lake any amends within
reason nut was emphatic in announcing
tn. 1t was absolutely impossible to pub.
fish the story, because after expert in,
vsstigation they had become convinced
that IL it should appear in print ii
would destroy the protective power OF
every time lock safe in the country, and
the representative of the newspaper did
not take his leave until he had obtained
what Mr.. Burton under the circum.
stances easily granted-a signed agree
ment releasing the paper from it's obliga
ton to publish the story and solemnly
pledging himself not to attempt to pub.
lish it elsewhere. Accordingly the
curiosity piqued by this bit of inside his
tory is likely never to be gratified.
