All coffee mills heretofore used will only
crush the berry, mutnatng the minute oil
cells, allowing the coffee oil to evaporate,
thus inpairing the strength and flavor. and
in a short time the coffee becomes rancid.
sour.
This is one reason why a pound of coffee
cut in this Mill will make more cups of full
strength coffee than will any coffee ground
the old way.
Another feature about this Mill is that you
may have your coffee cut as fine as the finest
sand and it will still be practically free from that
fine dust which is produced by the old method of
grinding. You will, therefore always have a
clear cup of coffee instead of a muddy effect--a
result of using the old style mills.
Royal cut coffee is also adaptable for perco-
lators or French drip coffee pots.
Try a pound of our coffee cut on a Royal Mill
and we know you will be pleased with the results.

ADVANCE ON RICHMOND CITY
North, With All lite Resources, Spent
Four Years In Calming Hundred
Miles In Virginia.

The siege OF Richmond was under
taken in the spring OF 1862 by Gen.
Mcclellan, who had succeeded Gen.
Mcdowell in the command OF the east
ern army after the union defeat at
Manassas. Mcclellan carried his army
OF the Potomac by water instead OF
by land, advancing on Richmond by
the York and James rivers and the
peninsula that is formed by their estu-
aries.
Success was met with at frst. Siege
was laid 10 Yorktown, which was eva
cuated May 4. The retreating con-
federate forces was pursued by the
invaders, who entered into another
battle at williamsburg. Taking ad-
vantage OF the strategic value OF the
Chlckahominy river Gen. Johnston
administered a drubbing to the feder-
ais al Fair Oaks. He was wounded at
this engagement and was succeeded
by Gen. Lee.
This was the turning point in the
penlnsular campaign. Although with
in sight OF Richmond, advance into
the city was impossible for the Union
army. The strategy Of Lee. with the
addition Of Gen. "Stonewall' jack
sons help forced the army of the Po-
tomac into retreat
Gen. Mcclellan had expected re-en-
forcements from the north, but Nc
Dowell's command. which was to
have come south, was kept along the
Potomac by the strange actions OF
Jackson and his forces, who cleared
the Shenandoah valley Of Union sol
dlers and threatened Washington. In
stead OF taking any advantage In the
north. however, Jackson suddenly
packed off his army by rail to the vi
cinity Of Richmond where, combining
with Lees troops. they forced the fed
erals slowly northward in a series OF
battles that lasted seven days.
Mcclellan, confronted by the IRE
sistible army Of the south, was forced
to retire to the James river and the
peninsular campaign was at an end.
Under Gen. Pope the army OF the Po-
tomac was even less successful and
Richmond was safe. In 1863 Gen
Hooker made an abortive attempt to
march On the confederate capital, but
Il was not until the spring OF 1865
that Gen. Grant, after a wasting cam
paign OF nearly a full year. was able
to drive Lees army out Of the city
and to the place of its surrender a
week later at Appomattox courthouse.
Thus It was that the north, with all
its resources, succeeded only after
four years labor in gaining the hun.
dred miles Of Virginia soil that lie
between Washington and Richmond
and in striking a death blow at the
confederacy.

Paid HIs Assessment.

The summary method pursued by
Colonel Metcalfe, in Kentucky, is well
illustrated by the following incident
which occurred at Paris, KY:
A secesh was brought in and told
that he was assessed $1,000.
We'll" said the rich secesh. "how
long will you give me to raise it?"
Three years, or during the war,
answered the colonel.
"Oh, well, WELL" said secesh. you

have It for you in time," and started
lelsurely for the door.

He paid then and there.

strictly, Albanian in origin) is dying
out in Greece, but is still worn by
many peasants, though donned In
fullest glory only on festal occasions.
Usually the working garb is a pair
Of shoddy trousers in place OF the
snowy fustanella, or kilt, and a tlimsy
cotton blouse generally of a greyish
drab color and check pattern), which
has very full skirts, and thus appears
to end in a quaint abbreviated petit
coat
In Thessaly, where "reminiscences OF
Turkish rule survive, not only in the
mosques and other buildings, but in
the habits and appearance of the peo-
pie, the fez Is not unusual, and gar
ments in the Turkish mode Of baggy
breeches and a sash round the middle
are often seen. 1t was from the great
plain of Thessaly that the ancient
Greeks obtained their finest horses (of
the type seen in the Parthenoi frieze),
and in this northern part of Greek ter
ritory horse-breeding is still an import
ant pursuit.
The windmills of Greece perhaps de-
serve a word Of notice. In place OF
the cumbrous great arms which q
similar structure in this country car
ries, the Greek windmill carries sails
of canvas which can be spread to
greater or less extent, as circum-
stances require, upon the spiders web
like arrangement of spokes to which
they are attached. The wells also
or, at least, their machinery for, draw
ing the water-are often of very
curious pattern. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see a blindfold donkey
patiently perambulating a circle and
supplying motive power, through the
beam to which he is harnessed, to an
arrangement of clumsy wooden cog
wheels actuating an endless chain Of
earthen pots, which automatically
empty themselves of the fluid hoisted
from the depths.
But Greek peasant activities are by
no means entirely agricultural and
pastoral. In addition to currants and
vines, are orange groves at Kalamata
yielding superb fruit scarcely inferior
to that of Jaffa, and tobacco is grown
in various districts. The mineral re-
sources of the country are consider
able, and large numbers OF workers
find employment in the lead mines OF
Lavrion, In the marble quarries OF
Pentelicon and elsewhere. Among
the accompanying photographs will be
found a picture taken at the mag
nestle quarries of Limme, in Euboea,
which are worked by a British COM
pany under a concession from the
monks at Galatake, near by.

NEGLIGEE EASY TO MAKE
Garment That Would Cost Much Mon
ey II Bought May Be Put To-
gether at Home.

A creation OF messaline. chiffon and
filmy shadow lace that would delight
the eyes Of a woman, however regard
less OF her personal appearance she
might be, was recently exhibited in an
extensive shop. The foundation of the
negligee was white messaline. Over
this was draped cream chiffon bodice
and a panniered tunic Of the chiffon.
The pannier effect, which was even
all around, was obtained by simply
turning under the edge OF the straight
tunic, giving 1t bouffant touch. A
girdle of pale blue messaline outlined
the high waist line, and the lace fichu
which draped the shoulders Marie An
tonette fashion, was of cream shadow
lace, the V being crnamented along
the edges with natural-sized rosebuds
of pink chiffon.
While the effect was elaborate, the
making OF such a negligee is quite
simple and easily accomplished by the
average needlewoman. 1t would fur.
ther beautify the negligee to embroid-
er about the bottom in colOred silks a
a border OF tiny pink rosebuds.

Naturally, in a country with the
physical characteristics Of Greece,
the activities of much of rural
population are pastoral. The
goatherd is a familiar figure every
where; the shepherd also, but to less
degree. The goat, indeed, is the
Greek peasants COW, providing him
with milk, cheese, and flesh. 1t is in
teresting to note that the herdsmen
still retain that knack Of throwing
the voice from height to height across
the intervening valleys, which in
classic times made possible the trans
mission of news at a speed that al
most rivalled the modern telegraph.

course, be pointed. Make it in square
mesh, similar to filet lace, about two
or three chain stitches forming each
side of the squares. At the two lower
corners of the bag and at the bottom
point hang tassels Of gold.
To further beautify the bag and
give It still more of a medieval ap-
pearance, sew all over the gold "over-
Dress" at the corners of each square
where the mesh forms a small cross
seed pearls or small pearl beads; but
beads of dark blue glass are good

durable than pearls. CoraIs Of tur.
quoise-colored beads are most efrec

After the beads are sewed on with
fine gold thread. slip the "over
dress" over the white MORE and tack
1t to the silk along the tiny points
which have been crocheted along the
top edge Of the overdress.

Became a Soldier After All.

Mrs. Crissey Of Decatur, ILL.,, whose
husband was chaplain in an Illinois
regiment, related to a visitor that
many years ago her little baby, while
playing in the street, fell down, and
began to cry. A very tall young man
who was Just then passing by with a
yoke of oxen, picked the child up, and
handing him inside the gate, said,
cheerily, you will never make sol
der II you cry for that" The little
fellow at once banished his grief. The
tall young man was Abraham Lincoln,
and Mrs. Crissey introduced to the
visitor a young captain, home on fur
