FOOD PROBLEMS
By SALLY MONROE.

Potatoes should never be kept in the
light, as this may cause them to sprout.
They should be kept in a cool place, but
Should not be allowed to freeze. They
are ruined by freezing.
Onions, If kept where it is at all
warm, are likely to sprout. They may
safely be kept in a much colder place
than potatoes, as slight freezing, If they
are not handled while frozen, does not
harm them.
Caulinower should be cooked in an
uncovered kettle-that for the sake Of
the household, for 1t smells less if un-
covered while cooking. 1t should not be
cooked beyond the point of tenderness,
for overlooking makes it turn brown
and gives it too strong taste.
1t is an interesting thing that the
onion is the only one of the bulb vege-
tables which is commonly used as food
In this country. In Europe leek, garlic,
shallot and chives are ell much more
widely used than here-and all are bulb
vegetables.
Spinach needs very thorough washing.
The best way to cook it Is to lift 1t, wet,
from its last rinse water and put it on
the fire without additional water. Cook
slowly over q low heat until 1t has given
UP much Of its moisture. Then simmer
until tender.
Remember that one peck of raw
spinach yields about three cupfuls OF
cooked spinach.

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 3, 1S65.-Thousands of Union
troops are leaving the city every day.
Some have been paid of here. and
others have been formed into detach-
ments and are being sent to other dis
tricts to receive the money that is due
to them.
It will be some days, however, before
the city resumes its normal appearance,
az nearly all of the Army Of the Poto-
mac, under Gen. Meade, and Gen
Sherman's two armies-the Army OF
Tennessee and the Army OF Georgia
were here at the same time, a short
while ago, for the grand review, which
marked the end of the war between
the States.
Meanwhile the trial of the conspira-
tors for the assassination of the late
President Lincoln and for the attempts
ON the lives of Secretary OF state
Seward and other Government omclaS
are progressing rapidly. The military
prosecutor brought out evidence today
to show that j. Wilkes Booth mad
stopped at Mrs. Surratt's hotel, or
boarding house, and had received mail
there. Testimony was also brought out
NAAS
box in Ford's Theater occupied by the
late President Lincoln had been forced
open from the outside by some tool.
A Mr.. Smith Of Prince Georges Coun-
tv. who lives about a mile from Sur
rattsville, swore that he knew j. z.
Jenkins, a brother of Mrs. Surratt, one
OF the defendants, and that at the be-
ginning of the war he was Union
man, although he changed later and
became sympathetic toward the Con-
federates.
Another witness testified that Mr.
Surratt, according to remarks which
the witness had heard another man
make, was "the man who cut Secretary
Seward" on the night that the late
President Lincoln was aSsaSsinated. The
witness "reckoned Mr.. Surratt was now
In New York"
When the witness asked a friend why
Mr.. Surratt had gone to New York aft
er the assassination of President Lin
coin. the friend is alleged to have re-
piled, John Surratt knows all about
this. Do you suppose he is going to stay
in Washington and let them catch him?
have told you this thing was going to
happen six months ago"
Severe croSs-eXamination failed 70
shake this testimony of the witness.
The Government is trying to move
the Union troops out of Washington as
fast as possible, pay them of, and,
where they are not needed, muster
them out of the service, so that they
can 60 back home without any more
loss Of time and resume their civilian
occupations. It will be some time, how
ever, before all of the wartime soldiers
leave this city. Many will be needed in
winding up the affairs incident to the
war, and troops must be kept ready to
send into any Southern State where
trouble may break out again, according
to the military authorities.
No fear is felt, however, of another
general outbreak, since the Confederate
armies are too widely scattered and
supplies in the South are too scarce.

Last Hours of Great Fighters
John Paul Jones All Alone When Death Claimed Him.
J.. p. GLASS.
BY J. p. GLASS,

After Lord Nelson had defeated the
combined French and Spanish fleets ut
Cape Trafalgar in 1905. Napoleon sighed
because he had had no adequate naval
commander to match wits with the
great Eng1ishman. His thoughts turned
back to another genius of the sea
who, at the time of his death, was
eagerly seeking position in the French
navy.
"How old" he asked. twas John Paul
Jones when he died?"
HE was As, sire"
"Then." said Napoleon, che did not
fulfill his destiny. Had he lived to this
time France might have had an ad-
miral"
The death of Jones was in many
respects pathetic. He had fought Tor
the United States, for Russia and Tor
France, but he was not American, or
Russian, or French. Though he was a
true patriot of liberty, he was really a
man without a country. He had been
brave. chivalrous and true, but he had
neither wife nor child to care for him.
Disease seized him in middle age. BY
the beginning of the Summer OF 1892
he was so weak that he spent much OF
the time in sailors hammock hung up
in the back yard of his home, in the
Rue de Tournon, in Paris. He was SUI
fering from Bright's disease, he had
been severely attacked by jaundice and
a racking cough shook his frame. For
hours he lay gloomily, rocked gently by
Aimee de Tellison, his dear friend. Who
knows what poignant thoughts were
hidden behind the drawn, yellow mask
of his face?
On July IL, with great effort. for
his legs were now swelling, he attend
ed a session of the National Assembly.
That night, at Jacobin dinner in the
Cafe Timon. he was toasted as "the
coming admiral of France"
False expectations! By July 10 his
legs were swollen to his waistcoat. His
eyes were glazed, his breath was short.
Visitors, finding him thus, sent for the
American Minister, Gouverneur Morris.
Sitting in an armchair, Jones dictated
his will.
When the document was complete he
remembered that he had made no dis
position of the sword that had been
given to him by Louis XVI He turned
to Morris and mentioned that tried and
true lieutenant who had been ever at
his side during his service in the Navy
of the United States-Lieut. Richard
Dale.
81 want Dale-my good old Dick-to
have my sword" he said.
Inc visitors went away. John Paul
Jones sat alone in his armchair Night
fell, shilling the noises of Paris, and still
he sat. 50 all was oVerI The world was
restless with great events. Louis XVI
and Marie Antoinette were under arrest
and the Revolution was gathering fresh
momentum. But he would play no part
in all these developments.
He picked up book by Voltaire, but
he could not read. Suddenly he arose

thin fringe of hair on the forehead and
arrange the waves of the longer side
of hair and curl the ends under and
push them behind the ears. Have a
dip of hair over the top of the ears.
If you are letting your hair grow, turn
the ends of the back hair up in roll
and pin firmly or fasten with long
barrette. Pin in the back hair and
curl the ends of hair into small curls
and arrange them to look like double
roll at the nape of the neck. This type
of couture will make your face and neck
look fuller and rounder. (2) If you will
