West Virginia mountains, extraordinary
alike for its hardships and its success
Averell had in eight days led his men
in weather of terrible inclemency, from
New Creek, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, southwark nearly 800 miles,
through the deep valleys and over the
high SPURS Of the Alleghanies, to reach
his objective, which was on the Virginia
and Tennessee Railroad, the only rail
link between Virginia and the country in
which Longstreet was operating.
The cutting of this road, to prevent the
forwarding of supplies to Gen. James
Longstreet, who was near Knoxville,
shared in the Federal plans an equal
place with the destruction OF the stores
accumulated at Salem.
In order to divert attention from the
raid the Federals had sent out several
cooperating forces from different points
on both sides of Averell's line of march
While Averell, with about $500 men, was
proceeding southwestward,S via Peters
burgh and Monterey, following the deep
valleys between the ridges of the Allie
ghanies, a command Of cavalry from Har-
pers Ferry, under Col. George ID. Wells,
Of the Thirty-fourth Massachusetts, In
fantry, was marching up the Shenandoah
Valley as If to attack Staunton, the CHIEF
Confederate depot of supplies in that
section.
Another cooperating column, under
Gen. E. p Scammon, was directed to
march from the Kanawha Valley to the
west upon Lewisburg. 1t drove a small
Confederate force, under Gen. John
EchoIs, out of that place on December
u, but contrary to orders fell back to
the Kanawha before Averen could come
up.
Avereu was near Salem before the
Confederates were aware of his pres
ence in that section.
Great efforts were made by Gen. Rob-
ert E. Lee to cut him on and capture
his command.
Cavalry under Gen Sam Jones, from
the Shenandoah, rode hard toward his
supposed line of march. Two brigades

Pattison, aided by all the labor saving
devices she can lay her hands on. does
all the work herself.
Not only does she run her own house,
but, in wing at one side, she has an

other women how to go and do likewise.
She does this as chairman Of the home

In this experiment station't she, has
dozens OF mechanical contrivances for
making housework easy. She has tested
them all and proved their worth. There
are washing machines. fireless cookers,

The next morning. at o'clock. the

SOME LITTLE HINTS
WORTH REMEMBERING

Lemon juice, milk. and the juice Of ript
tomatoes are excellent to remove Ink
stains from white materials.
Save your lemon rinds. dry, them in the
oven, and store them In an airtight tin.
A little Of this added TO an apple pie
gives II q delicious nayortng.
Potato balls, which are sauted In put
ter after being boiled. are delicious. They
should be served with q generous sprin-
king of minced parsley.
7 Giycerin Is the best lubricant for the
meat or vegetable grinder, for the rea-
son that e does not leave an unpleasant
odor II brought into contact with the
meat
When frying nsh, dip It In milk instead
of egg before rolling In bread crumbs.
This Is more economical and tastes bet
ter.
II ts not generally known that table
spoonful OF vinegar put into the water
when poaching eggs viii keep them from
breaking.
Milk should be used for Esixing pastry
that is to be served cold. The pastry
will then keep short and crisp longer
than II mixed with water.
Always put a piece OF muslin round the
band underneath the ribbon or silk when
trimming a hat. This saves the hatpin
from breaking the straw.
Three tablespoonfuls Of baking soda
In a quart Of water applied with a rough
cloth win remove the old vRrnish very
easily when you wish to revarnish furni-
ture.
II cold baked potatoes are dipped for q
moment In hot water and then placed in
a moderate oven till warmed through they
are quite as nice as II freshly baked.
There is no need to trouble about water
and soap when cleaning q window. The
easier way as to crush up a newspaper.
dip 1t lightly in paraffin. and use as a
polisher. The parafiin removes all dirt
and stains very quickly. and the paper

The Lingerie Vanity Bag.

Every woman knows the dainty
squares of linen or lawn with elaborately
embroidered corners that are called glove
handkerchiefs, but every woman doesn't
know that they may be fashioned into
the most sanitary of vanity bags. AS
the glove handkerchief Is never more
than five inches square, it is easy to
realize how very tiny will be the bag
that Is formed after a strip of lace bead
ing has been run circle-wise between the
corners and they have been drawn in
with a quarter-yard length of narrow
ribbon which ties in the smallest of
bows. When the bag is closed, the four
embroidered ends fall over like the
petals of a white lily.

ATTRACTIVE RAILWAYS AN
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION

The first impression received by a
stranger on entering a house is given by
the aspect Of a hallway. First impress
sions are not to be sneered at. for they
often color all subsequent feelings. 1t is
important, therefore, that the hallway
should bear an aspect OF combined dig
nifty and hospitality. Considerable thought
and planning may sometimes be neces-
sary to secure this effect, but thought
and ingenuity SO bestowed are well spent
Simplicity, Of course. Is the first essential
and after that comes careful arrange
ment.
