valley below are broad plantations,
patches of woodland, silver threads
of water, and, nestling along the rail
way which reticulates the valley are
the white-housed villages of Winches
ter and Tullaburna. The picture is
set among many-tinted hills, and a
soft autumn haze hangs over it. It
is a vision bright and beautiful, but
vanishing as we plunge into the forest
again, and soon pull up in front of
the stately and hospitable Monteagle
Hotel.
Adjoining this place are the grounds
of the Monteagle Sunday School As
sembly, and near by are landscapes
broader and wider than the one I have
attempted to describe.

SINGULAR PUNISHMENT.
In the early days of the war, the
mode and extent of punishment for so
called petty offenses was a vexed
question with the commandants of
posts. A case in point occurred at
Fort Morgan, Mobile Bay, in May,
1861. Col. Harry Maury, on his
rounds, observed a private in the act
of picking the pocket of a comrade
and immediately arrested the culprit
in the act, with the stolen property
in his hands which proved to be a
small, one-blade pocket knife. The
thief was placed under arrest and the
punishment left to the discretion of
the commandant who was a strict dis
ciplinarian. The next morning the
sentence was made known by general
orders, to the effect “that Private
was to repair under guard to the south
beach, and was there to stay for
twelve hours each day until a large
bucket should be filled with sand with
the blade of the stolen knife, and his
diet be bread and water.” The boys
thought the penalty a very light one,
but it proved to be anything but a
picnic, for, at the expiration of seven
days the bucket was apparently but
half-filled, and the culprit seemed hag
gard and weary. On the eight day the
sentence was revoked, and the knife
returned to its rightful owner. On be
ing questioned by his comrades, the of
fender stated that he worked diligent
ly at his task each day, but that each
grain of sand seemed to be alive
and would hop off the blade in transit,
and as a general thing but few grains
would be on the blade when he emp
tied it, and the place being so hot in
the sun. convinced him of the fact
that there were more fleas on that
beach than grains of sand. —Corn-fed

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
Soups.—The great secret of making
good soup lies in getting a combina
tion of several flavors and not enough
of one kind to give it a distinctive
navor. With beef as a basis, the fol
lowing may be added, but just a little
or each: potatoes, cabbage, turnips,
tomatoes, onions, rice, vermicelli or
macaroni, black pepper, red pepper,
cloves or cinnamon, salt, vinegar. Os
the spices and vinegar only a very lit
tle of each, and these should not be
added until about ready to serve. The
ether articles may be put in after the
meat has boiled half an hour. Oat
meal, rice, macaroni, vermicelli, milk
and eggs will improve any kind of
soup, if not too much of each is used.
All fat should be skimmed from soup,
if you would have it fine and suitable
to any palate. The cheapest part
of the beef, as the shank or leg bone,
Go! I’ll Have None of You!
Shun malaria as you would Satan. A taint of
malarial poisoning in your blood means misery

makes the best soup. A very delicate
yet very nutritious and palatable soup
is made by boiling chicken, rice and
vermicelli together, and seasoning
with salt and black pepper.
Fuel.—A large stove is more eco
nomical than a small one. A small
stove requires constant replenishing,
the draft being concentrated, the fuel
burns rapidly, and there being but
small surface of metal, but little heat
is radiated. Fill a large stove with
fuel, close the draft and allow it to
burn slowly, if you would get the most
good out of the fuel. Water can be
made no hotter than the boiling point
unless confined in a strong vessel,
hence it is useless to try to hurry the
cooking by increasing the heat after
the boiling point is reached.

MINCE MEAT.
A note asking for a receipt for mince
meat, is gladly answered with the
following furnished me by one of At
lanta’s most accomplished house
wives:
Chop fine two pounds of tongue boil
ed tender. Mince fine half a pound cf
suet, one pound of raisins, seeded; one
pound of currants, washed and pick
ed; half a pound of citron, sliced thin;
one pound of moist brown sugar; the
juice and grated rinds of four lemons;
two grated nutmegs; one ounce of
salt; one of ground ginger; half an
ounce of cloves and allspice each.
Mix the meat, fruit, and spices well.
Pour upon the sugar, a pint of wine
and half a pint of brandy; then pour
this over the mixture. When it is
well mixed, pack in small jars, and
pour over the top of the meat the best
syrup an inch thick, cover closely,
and keep the jars in a cool place.
HEAVEN AND OUR SAINTED
LOVED ONES.
Rev. E. W. Pfaffenberger, of Boon
ville, Mo., editor of the spright’y
Western Christian Union, was led to
write a tract some time since which
has been a blessing to multitudes. The
tract is “Heaven and Our Sainted Lov
ed Ones.” It is a meditation on
death and immortality, and is so nat
ural, so elemental and victorious that
it touches the depths of the soul. If
we may indulge in a personal refer
ence, we read the booklet in the wan
ing afternoon as the train was shoot
ing down the bank of the Hudson.
We will never outgrow or forget the
impression made by the booklet, page
after page, touched with pathos, but
each narrative culminating in triumph
too deep for tears. We are glad our
brother wrote that booklet, and now
that all the sales of the book are de
voted to educating his son, we know
the circulation of the book will serve
as a two-fold purpose, blessing him
that sells and him that buys. Even
so. We wisely trust its circulation
may be large. Price, 10 cents, silver.
—Rev. Dr. C. B. Spencer, in Central
Christian Advocate.
