Better Breakfasts

1T will be much easier to do all
i of those worthy things you re-
solved to do this happy New Year
if you start the day right. No,
we don't refer to morning hymns
or daily dozens. but something
very easy and pleasant to do-eat
a better breakfast.
Easy enough to eat" says the
housewife. "but not so easy to pre-
pare in limited time" That
sounds like a good argument, but
as a matter of fact. it isn't. For
example, here is a delicious break
fast which can be prepared, for
the most part. the evening before
while the dinner dishes are be-
ing washed.
Prepar. the cocktail and put 1t
away in the refrigerator, ready
for a quick shake tomorrow morn
ing; partially cook the cereal in a
double boiler, ready for a quick
finish. This leaves only the coffee
to percolate, the eggs to cook and,
as for the cinnamon rolls, they can
be bakery-made, If you like. and
heated piping hot.

Supernatural Light
Theory Is Advanced
BY British Savaint

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 16.-A theory
that the biblical pillar Of IRE"
which burned atop Mount Sinai
and the lightning-like flre which
appeared on the face Of the An
gel Of Resurrection may have
been the manifestation Of some
supernatural light Of which SCI
ence knows nothing, was ad-
vanced yesterday by Sir John
Ambrose Fleming.
Speaking on Light" on which
he Is one of the worlds authori-
ties, he declared, There are
many mentions in Scripture Of
light which certainly did not
proceed from combustion, incan-
descence or phosphorescence of
ordinary matter, but which could
under some conditions affect
many human eyes at once, and
therefore was not merely q sub
jective phenomenon.
Neither can we regard these
manifestations as events wholly

From the certificate it appears that Sergt.

Gen. Washington. The Important services"
for which he volunteered were Of the most
dangerous sort They called for Bissel's trumpet
up "desertion" from the American cause and
his enlistment under the British banner, for
purposes Of espionage within the British lines.
Sergt. Bissel deserted" in August, 1871, and
found his way to New York City, where he was
to obtain all the information he could concern
ing the strength Of the British forces there,
their Notifications and their plans. Under the
plans, Bissel was to remain no longer than nee

be Of tremendous benefit to corn growers.
The present production of corn Is around
2,7o0.0o0,oo0 bushels, of which about 10 per
cent only reaches primary markets.
The advantages of corn sugar lie largely I'm
its cheapness, and where only the question Of
sweetness is involved, Secretary Hyde Is Of the
opinion that corn sugar can well he employed
at no disadvantage to the public, and, IN fact,
to an advantage through the savings to be
effected by the lower price.
The corn sugar has been employed IN can
ming with satisfactory results, The ruling
which permits the use of corn sugar without
so specifying ON the label is based on the fact
that when buyer purchases O can OF pears,
peaches or other fruit for instance, 1t is the
fruit which ne seeks, and the question of the
preventative, so long as it is healthful, does
not enter into consideration. Secretary Hyde
believes that there is no question Of law in

are healthful and there is no intent to deceive
the buyer as to the contents.

Corn Sugar Ruling.

THE recent ruling Of Secretary Of Agriculture
Hyde that the presence Of corn sugar in
canned goods as the sweetening agent need no
longer be specified on the label brings out
strikingly the strides which have been made
in the past decade in the refining Of corn sugar.
It also gives an indication of what the future
may hold for the corn grower IN opening up
new field for his crops.
A few years ago corn sugar was brown,
muddy sort of product which was none too
sweet. In fact, as compared with the sweet
ness Of cane sugar, it was about so per cent
sweet. Now, however, It has been so improved
that 1t presents fine white granulated appear
ance and IN sweetness is fully IS per cent of
the sweetness Of cane sugar, according to the
Agriculture Department experts.
The importance to the corn market Of the
development Of the corn sugar industry lies in
the estimates Of probable employment Of corn
IN its manufacture. The estimates vary from
conservative 100000 bushels annually to a
maximum Of 100000 bushels. Should the

whitening barrage failed to stop them, and the
unbelievable courage Of the 1istle party so con-
founded the defenders that the redoubt sur
rendered in less than Is minutes from the time
Brown and his men launched the attack. The
American losses were comparatively few.
THE certificate awarding the Purple Heart to
Sergt Bissel is less informative than the
other two, in keeping with the nature of the
work performed by Bissel.
Believe it or not, Sergt. Bissel was decorated
for deserving from the Continental Army.
Faded records in the War Department say moth

as deserter.

WaShington's General Orders under date of
June 8, 1888, does not tell the story, but hints

were SUFFICIENT to insure success against the
supposedly large force"
Fsrhe party Of Americans reached their hidden
boats late in the afternoon, after one or two
brief skirmishes with the pursuers and the
force succeeded in getting away from shore
without casualties. They arrived back at Fair
field before midnight.
That was the first chapter in the story of
Sergt. ChurchiIs conspicuous and singuarly
meritorious part in the several enterprises
against Long Island forts.
The sequel came the following october, when
Gen. Washington took under consideration
plans for destroying Fort Slongo-a thorn in
the side of the rebel army-located on the
north shore of Long Island, about so miles
northeast of Brooklyn. Maj. Talmadge again
tack on the island fort. The information was
detailed and complete including even the exact
location of the sentry posts
The attacking party on this occasion con-
sisted of 100 men from the 5th Connecticut
Regiment and the I'd Continental Dragons
Massachusetts, officer, Maj. Jemuel Prescott,
volunteered to lead the raid.
THE expedition started across the sound at
O'Clock in the evening Of October 2, $751;
MIR. Fitzpatrick states, land at o'clock in the
morning the fort was in its hands.
Again Sergt. Churchill was in the van Of the
first attacking party and again he acquitted
himself with the utmost galantry. The fort
was SO strong that Tallmadge had advised
Prescott not to make direct attack, but to try
to draw OF the defenders by feint. This idea
was not followed, the attacking force went at
their job with such vigor that the fort was
taken without the loss of a single man and
only four Of the British force were killed before
The works surrendered.
THE report Of the affair shows 81 prisoners
taken, and the destruction of a goodly quantity
OF artillery and stores or arms, ammunition and
clothing"
CERGT. BROWN won his Purple Heart Il
days later at Yorktown. The citation Of
the board Of awards, dated April "A, 1888, Is
among the Washington papers in the Library
Of Congress. The board was composed Of Brig.
Gen. John Creator, Col. Walter Stewart, Lieut.
Col. Ebenezer Sprout and Majs. Nicholas Fish
and Lemuel Trescott.
The board declared that Sergt. Brown, elm

that his general character appears unexcep-

"forlorn hope was just what its name I'M
plies an attack by an advance detachment IN
the face Of such intense artillery fire as TO
render the undertaking one of almost certain
death to its heroic participants.
Serget Brown was serving under Lieut.. Col.
Alexander Hamilton, who had been assigned the
task of taking one Of two British redoubts that
were stubbcrnly resisting the siege of Yorktown.
The other redoubt was to be attacked by allied
French troops. The Americans volunteered to
storm the outer redoubt which was close to the
river, and the French were to attack the inner
redouht.
The doughty sergeant led his "forlorn hope"
at the forefront Of the attackers and refused
