Today in
Washington History
ny DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 10, 1S63.-To date there have
been II confiscations Of Confederate
property in Washington under the pro-
visions of the confiScation act. It was
announced today that the marshal of
the District of Columbia has seized,
under instructions from the District
Attorney for confiscation, the property
of DR.. James j. Warning, consisting
of a three-story brown-front building
on the north side of E street. between
Sixth and Seventh streets, on part of
lot Z, square 456. and, the property of
Capt. Henry T. Tyler, formerly of the
Marine Corps, consisting of first-class
three-story dwelling on the north side
of F street, between Sixth and Seventh
streets. lot A. square 458.
Another lot Of convalescents. num-
bering some 200, from various hos
pltals in the department of Washing
ton. were entered upon active duty this
morning and proceeded at once to join
their commands at the front. They
attracted considerable attention as they
marched along the Avenue.
Great anxiety prevails in official cir
cleS and in the public mind on ac-
count of the Confederate invasion of
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Tele-
graphic reports reaching this city re-
gdIullg tne WHEREABOUTS OF the Con-
federate forces are very conflicting to-
day. Rifle pits are being thrown up
hurriedly at all points from Harrisburg.
Pa, to the Maryland line. 1t appears
that the Confederates crossed the Po-
tomac at Williamsport several days ago
and have taken possession of Hagers-
town. Md, and points in Pennsylvania.
Union citizens in that part of Mary
land and Pennsylvania are panic
stricken and are leaving in every sort
of conveyance.
Post Offices are being moved and
United States stores along the railroads
are being burned to prevent them from
falling into enemy hands. In York
County. Pa. the excitement is intense.
Railroad stock is being rushed out of
the county. and banks are sending their
funds to Philadelphia, Similar excite
ment prevails in Lancaster County. Pa.
A dispatch this morning from Phila-
delphia says the Confederates are near
Greencastle, Pa, and also reports that
heavy firing was heard in the direction
of Harpers Ferry. Three hundred Con-
federates yesterday burned canal boats
at Hancock. Md. before they were
driven off by Union cavalry. Raids by
Confederates are reported all along the
upper Potomac River from Point of
Rocks to Harpers Ferry.

Answer. ID Although you are over
the average weight for your age and
height you are not too heavy for your
type. Do not try to starve yourself
into an unhealthy slenderness. Eat
moderately, exercise daily and let your
weight take care of itself. You must
have varied diet, including daily at
least one pint of milk, a raw salad.
two kinds of succulent vegetables, like
spinach or cabbage; fresh fruit and one
helping OF meat. Omit all candy.
pastry. such as pie, chocolate eclaires
cream puffs, sweet buns, cakes fried
foods. fat meats, thickened soups or
gravies, cream and mayonnaise dressing.

Preparation of Refreshing Punch
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

a little Of this poured into a glass nart-
; ly filled with ice water, the punch can
! be prepared almost instantly.
! A fine mixed drink can be prepared
/ by combining the juices of oranges and
| tart strawberries with a little lemon
| Juice and water. The strawberries NAV
| be prepared in two ways. They may
be crushed. sweetened and allowed to
stand for several hours, and then be
straint through a cloth. Squeeze the
berries in the cloth or jelly bag as YOU
would for Jelly. This liquid when add
ed to orangeade with lemon Juice. gives
deli,ate color as well as rich flavor,
both delightful. The second method is
| 10 COOK the Strawberries with sugar,
ana, when the juice is extracted, strain
ana use as If uncooked. In serving. add
q good-sized whole strawberry as a
garniSh.
Below is a recipe for punch that is
q taVorlte in certain section of New
England. The name would make it
seem appropriate to use for part of the
refreshments for celebration on the
Fourth Of July;
Grated rird Of l orange.
One pint water.
One pound sugar
/ Juice of three oranges.
Two lemons
A quantity of grape Juice may be
added.
Two quarts water.
Add the pint of water TO the sugar
and boil for 90 minutes. Add the rind
of oranges and the fruit juices. This
makes the condensed punch, to which
SIS much as two quarts of cold water
may be added. Serve iced with a
Sprig of mint. segment of orange and
cherry for decoration.
Oranges are associated with the very
name of tea, and most of us are IA
miliar, by name at least, with orange
pekC tea. 1t is not essential, however,
that this very blend be that which is
used in orange iced tea. for the orange
element is supplied by the real fruit.
The favor may be gained merely by
slicing An orange thin, and adding the
colorful circletS to the tea, or a strong
er aroma of orange may be given by
squeezing one and combining with the
actual liquid Of the tea itself For the
sake of the little tang which lemon
contributes. it is wise to include a few
small slices of lemon. Pieces of the
orange. slit so that they will perch on
the sides of the glasses or gobletS. are
pretty touch, as also is a Sprig of
mint.

/. Broad and shallow?
2. Thin, very family markeda
3. Very short?
4. Broken, but the ends overlapping ?
5. With fine lines rising from it?
6. With fine lines dropping from 1t
Answers.
!. You are not really lazy. as many
believe. but are merely perpetually
tired. Lacking physical vigor. you have
little power of endurance. little stamina
and always need some one to lean upon.
2. Athletics do not appeal to you
greatly, as you prefer milder forms of
amusement. You become respondent
easily and are inclined to give way to
nervous fears, expecting cataStrophies
which never come.
8. Do not be alarmed; a very short
line rarely means a short life. You
may, however, be less robust in later
years, with your health dependent
upon your mental attitude.
4. While the break indicates some
crisis-Sickness, nerve shock or grief
the overlapping lines show that your
reserve vitality and your strength of
character can be relied upon to carry
you through
5. Amy one with your pride and keen
ambition Is bound to succeed. Ener-
getic. eager, determined to win. Moth
ing can keep you back. You will reach
a very high position.
8. Seize opportunities while you are
young, and lay up for the rainy day;
for later In life you will find 1t more
and more easy to be idle, to drift along,
physically and mentally.
