BAYONET CHARGES.
Hand to Hand Conflicts Are Rare Upon
the Field Of Battle.

''~'~ ~ SOEIISICtS are rare Upon
the Field Of Battle.
IN talk about military methods in
warfare General Stephen NJ. Weld in
discussing stories Of bayonet charges,
said:
Il do not know Of a single case il,
our war where bayonets were actually
crossed. l heard Of one or two. but
never happened to see one.
I'm the numerous charges made by
our corps IN the Wilderness campaign
the only one we ever made successful
~ was on the 18th Of June One divi-
sion had already charged and been re-
pulsed. Our division was then ordered
to make charge across a plain some
200 yards wide. Colonel Gould had
command of the division, which placed
the brigade in my hands.
Before charging the men were or
dered to remove the caps from their
guns and when they did charge were
told to leg it like blazes, which they
dld. In almost no time we were over
the 200 yards, subjected to storm Of
shell and canister and only one vol
ley from the infantry in the enemy's
trenches. One-half Of the men in our
regiment were lost in this charge.
Here was case where YOU would
suppose we might have crossed bayo-
nets. On the contrary. the Confeder-
ates fed, the same as we would have
done had we been attacked. We cap
tured their knapsacks and everything
they had in the trenches just as they
were. Exchange

EASTER RECIPES TO TRY.
Tasty Dishes Which Can Be Made
From EuuS

TTO" cSSS.
Eggs on Easter are a sine qua non,
and instead Of converting them into
an omlet or other made dish they
would be better served whole. If it
does not seem sufficiently festive to
have new laid eggs boiled in the shells
they may appear as stuffed or deviled
eggs, retaining thus their natural shape
and crisp from frying or masked with
Il white or anchovy sauce, writes
Christine Terhune Herrick in Harper's
Bazaar. Colored eggs Of ice cream
each egg placed in an individual nest
of spun sugar-make a pretty dessert.
In Circumstances where for any reason
the spun sugar and ice cream are not
feasible an excellent homemade substi-
tute can be provided by hens nest
of preserved orange peel shredded to
initiate straw.

few house plants, they should be put
in the best possible order for the oc-

remove the dust. Arrange them in
groups wherever they will look the
best, and they will aid the general

scheme of color and then follow it

To reproduce pictures upon eggs
take pin and after laying the picture
upon cloth or other soft surface, prick
the outlines Of the drawing. This
should be done very carefully, having
the holes Of equal size and evenly
spaced, so that when this is completed
and the paper held to the light the
picture will be clearly shown by the
holes. Lay the paper upon hard
boiled egg tightly. Slit it so as to
enable you to fit the paper to the egg.
Take a brush with ink Or a piece Of
cloth wet with ink and paint over the
holes. Ii carefully done the picture
will be seen perfectly reproduced upon
the egg when the paper is removed.
Next join the dots so that the outline
OF the drawing on the egg is an un-
broken line. Color with water colors
or colored ink. White eggs should be
used.

The Easter Lamb In the Sun.
There is German legend that lamb
may be seen in the sun on Easter MORN
ing.]
They told us how German children
Rise ere the day is begun,
And LOOK out over the hills to see
The Easter lamb in the sun.
They said we must look straight at 1t,
And never once look away,
And pretty soon it would be right there,
The lamb Of Easter day.
So. while we are chasing the rabbits,
Busily here and there,
And eagerly hunting for Easter eggs,
Seeking them everywhere,
Well rest little at sunrise.
Just as day is begun, -
And look of over the hills to see
The Easter lamb in the sun.
