Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

| July 4, Neutrality-suspicious. day was
celebrated in Washington today in an
unusual but very striking manner. The
usual excursions, picnics, displays OF
fireworks. etc, were wanting In their
places were such scenes as the parade
of armed and drilled volunteer soldiers
ready for war.
The most conspicuous object from the
point of view of the military and
civilian observers of the principal pro-
cession was the towering figure of the
commander in chief of the national
forces-that veteran soldier Gen. Win
field Scott. Everywhere he appeared he
was loudly cheered.
The observance of the day here also
included many public addresses at vari-
Gus places The distinguished members
of President Lincoln's cabinet spoke at
several of these exercises.
The grand parade of the New York
volunteer troops was probably the most
extensive military display ever seen by
those who witnessed it. The procession
included practically all of the New
York soldiers who are at this time sta
toned on the Washington side of the
Potomac River. They were the LIST, I'd,
and 3rd Brigades of New York Volun-
teers and the 4th Brigade of New York
State militia
The line of march was along Penn
sylvania avenue and past the White
House. The marching men saluted
President Lincoln, the members of the
cabinet and Lieut.. Gen. Winfield Scott,
who occupied a platform in front of the
White House. After passing the re-
viewing stand the commanding officers
of the regiments returned and attended
the flag-raising ceremony near the
south front of the Treasury Building.
The flag was presented to the City of
Washington by the Union Defense Com
mittee of New York.
President Lincoln and his cabinet
were escorted to the scene of the flag
raising by the New York officers. The
beautiful emblem of the Union was
raised on staff 100 feet high, while
the list New York Regiment formed a
hollow square around it with the speak
ers and guests on the inside.
President Lincoln spoke briefly, say
ing that when the flag was raised ut
would be the duty of the people to keep
it up This statement was greeted
with enthusiastic cheers.
The Washington Light Infantry of the
District Volunteers celebrated the ma
tional holiday at their camp near Chain
Bridge. There were speeches and a
handsome sword was presented TO Capt.
Williams OF Company A.

he encamped a strong force outside the
city. They threw up chains and barri-
cades; trumpets called armed men to
the Bourse.
1t was now that the giant baker
played his part With quick wit, he
attacked the plunderer and, with
nothing but a shovel for his weapon,
struck him from his horse. The coura-
geous fellow then sprang upon the steed
and clattered off through the city, call
ing upon every one to resist.
Women and children Joined the men
in answering the call of this hero. They
flung furniture down on the heads Of
the marauding French.
AT the gates the defenders fought
until the entrance was choked by the
bodies of the dead. The French inside
the city were utterly destroyed, while
those outside sought futilely to enter.
Anjou had suffered a bitter defeat before
the Prince of Orange even knew that
trouble was afoot
AnjouS chief officers were aghast at
his treachery. They would support him
no more. At Paris. his brother, Henry
III, declined to send him aid. Ultimately
he returned TO France. The Spanish
took over the Netherlands.
Anjous health was broken. The next
year he died. He was only IS.

BY SALLY MONROE.

A DISTINCTION used to be drawn
n between q plain cook and a fancy
cook.
If you could cook soups, meats. vege-
tables satisfactorily and could prepare
simple desserts and salads you were a
plain cook.
You could not possibly qualify as a
fancy cook unless you were an expert in
the making of pies, cakes, cookies, crul-
lers, waff1es and similar sweet concoc-
lions.
Some of the best dinners 1 have ever
partaken of were served at houses where
only a plain cook was employed, or
where the housewife made no claim
of great experiences, and some of the
most unsatisfactory meals l can recall
have been those served where fancy"
cooking was the rule.
Now we are coming to realize the i'm
portance of the skillful preparation of
the more substantial dishes. To be able
to cook vegetables so that they are APP
petizing and wholesome, to make fault
less soups and to be able to cook meats
we'll in variety of ways may be an
even greater accomplishment than the
ability to make pastry and cake that
will melt in your mouth.
What's the Reason?
The reason for this change, think, is
twofold. First of all, we are becoming
more particular about the way the SUBJ
Stantial dishes are prepared and we
are realizing the importance of fruits,
salads and simple, easily prepared des-
sertS. Then 1t is possible almost every
where to buy very good pies and cakes
all ready made. Only the most expert
home cook could hope to make cake as
uniformly good as the sorts that are to
be had at almost any grocery or bakery
nowadays, and have bought factory
made cookies. put up in tin boxes, that
were really much better than any we
might hope to make at home.
1t is possible to buy ready made a
great many of the so-called fancy
dishes, but so long as we eat at home
we must somehow contrive to cook our
own meats, vegetables and potatoes.
Canned vegetables, of course, do away
with much trouble in the preparation,
but we must have some fresh vegetables,
and the canned sort must be served in
a variety of ways II we are not to grow
tired of them.
Plain Things First.
To the young woman looking for
ward TO marriage who has had no
training or experience in cooking /
would emphatically say, Learn, first of
all, to cook the substantial dishes. Don't
content yourself with learning to cook
pies, cakes, waflies, etc. If you can, take
only a few cooking lessons. Let these
be concerned with the preparation of
meats, vegetables, salads and simple
fruit desserts.
There is, think, very little, If any
economy In making pies, cakes, cookies,
etc, at home. In the small family it
is usually less expensive to buy them
ready prepared. You may like the idea
of making them yourself, but If your
time Is limited you had far better con-
centrate on the other more important,

Famous Strong Men of History
Baker of Antwerp Helped to Prevent Anjou Selling
Sovereignty of The Netherlands.
BY J. P. GLASS.

In Antwerp, toward the close of the
sixteenth century, there lived a baker
renowned for his strength. This humble
person could lift great sacks of -four
as easily as most of US handle a scent
sack Of peanuts.
He had the power of four men and
once he employed II to thwart usurper
who tried to seize sovereignty over his
country.
The Duke of Anjou, unprincipled son
of the unprincipled Catherine de Medici,
Queen of France, for long time hoped
to become King of England by marriage
TO the maiden Queen. Elizabeth. But
after years of courtship and negotia-
ton she Tilted him.
The Prince of Orange, IN the Neither
lands, was under the ban of Spain. He
welcomed the assistance of Anjou, who,
being crowned Duke Of Brahant, with
the high-sounding title of Protector of
the Netherlands" went to Antwerp in
1882 to aid him against the Spanish

was Just that way in Jerry Muskrats
family. Some Of those youngsters could
pc depended on to always do exactly
the right thing at the right time
Others caused their parents a great
deal of worry. There was one in par
tlcuiar who was both needless and
headstrong.
This young Muskrat liked TO think
mat ne was smarter than his brothers
ana sisters. He liked to think that he
knew more than they did He liked to
show off. He was always the last one
10 mind. Now, he was the first one to
discover that lot of the signals given
by Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat were given
When there was no danger at ALL They
were given just for training. When he
discovered this the young Muskrat felt
very clever. When the plunge signal or
the tail-slap signal was given. Instead
OF needing 1t promptly, he would take
MS time ABOUT 1t. Once in a while he
would not dive at all, but would chuckle
10 himself as his brothers and sisters
all dlVed. They can't fool me-" he
would say to himself, as he heard his
father and mother plunge into the
water.
So this young Muskrat grew more
ana more needless and careless. There
came an evening when all the Muskrat
family were out to enjoy the dusk and
play about. Jerry Muskrat was at the
other end of the Smiling Pool AS
usual, Jerry was very much on the
watch for possible danger. So 1t was
that he was the first to discover the
drifting shadow, which was not a
shadow at all, but Hooty the Owl In
Stantly, Jerry gave the danger signal
and dtved. Mrs. Muskrat repeated the
signal and dived. Eight little Muskrats
did the same thing.
But the ninth-the needless young
MuSkrat, the one who thought himself
so smart-merely chuckled and con-
tinued TO sit on little tussock, eating
tender bit of green stuff which he
had found. He didn't even sit still, but
moved about. Suddenly a little chill
feeling Of fear swept over him. At the
same time 1t seemed as II a shadow
crossed in front Of him. He looked up
into the fierce, glaring eyes. Then with
squeak Of fright he started TO plunge
into the water. He was too late. Hooty
the Owl reached for him with his great
claws and clutched him. That needless
young Muskrat paid for his needless
ness with his life. And it was all be-
cause he thought himself so very smart.
