WAR RECORDS.
How They are Complied in
tho Washington Bureau.
A Work, Only Half Done, Which will
Take Eighty Odd Volumes.
In Washington, on G street, at the
corner of Twentieth, is au old mansion
which, forty years ago, was one of the
most aristocratic dwellings in the capital.
It is of peculiar architecture. Its square,
plastered, brick walls, small windows
and turret-shaped roof give it somewhat
the appearance of a mediaval castle. On
its front is a small gilt sign, considerably
dimmed by the action of frosts and rain,
which reads: “War Records Office. n
The whole building is occupied by
Colonel Robert N. Scott and his corps of
assistants, who are engaged in the work
of preparing the official documents con
netted with the war of the rebellion for
publieation.
“Do you publish everything in the
way of records connected with the war? »»
tv as asked of Colonel Scott the other day.
“By no means. If we did that we
could almost say in the words of the
evangelist, ‘the world itself would not
contain the books.’ At any rate, it
would not be exaggeration to say that it
would take thousands of volumes to con
tain everything. We expect to print
about 80,000 pages. That will take
eighty volumes or thereabouts. We are
not half through yet. Our idea is to
publish everything that is of historical
value. The great mass, of course, is very
uninteresting. But occasionally some¬
thing exceedingly rich and spicy is
reached. Some things that appear of
small importance now may prove to be of
great incidental value in the future.”
“As you go through the great mass of
documents do you find many things that
ere different from cursently reported
statements of events?”
“Many such things occur all the while.
It is astonishing how treacherous one’s
memory is when applied to events that
occurred twenty-five years ago. This is
seen in the current discussions that are
going forward all the while in the peri¬
odicals. Men unconsciously add a little
here and subtract a little there and for¬
get a good deal more, and finally tho
tiling related bears no sort of semblance
to the real thing that happened. I some¬
times almost doubt my own eyes and
senses and absolutely have to go and rest
niy faculties to see whether I really do
know 7 what I am about or not. A good
illustration of this occurred only a few
days ago. An officer of veracity and
candor was relating the part his regiment
took in the battle of Shiloh. When he
had finished I informed him that his reg
iment was not in the battle of Shiloh at
all.
“ ‘What! not in the battle of Shiloh?’
he ejaculated.’ ‘You don’t mean to say
that, do you?’
“ ‘I certainly do,’ I replied.
U 1 Well, I should like to know your
reason for making that statement,’ said
he.
“ ‘Mv reason for making it is your own
dispatch written three days after the bat¬
tle, in which you say your regiment was
not in the battle,’ said I. And I showed
him the dispatch. He adjusted his spec¬
tacles, read it over several times and ad¬
mitted his error, nis story was spoiled,
but history was vindicated.
“And so it goes ail the while. There
is nothing like the written record to go
by. Men forget the motives and the
feelings which actuated them a quarter of
u century ago. The jealousies and asperi¬
ties of that time have passed away. It
was a time when big men rubbed hard
together in the stern realities of war. It
w as a time when mistakes were made and
experiments were being tried. But I
suppose if we were to have another war
we would hardly do much better. We
would probably be obliged to make
about tbe same mistakes and try the
same experiments over again. It is the
way of humanity. Ono generation has
never yet profited much by the mistakes
of the one that has gone before it.— Phil¬
adelphia Tunes.
Origin of Lard Gaines.
The origin of card games can not prob
bly be traced with any certainty. It
has been generally believed that “play¬
ing cards,” as they arc known at the
present day, were invented by a French
painter named Gringonneur, for the
amusement of his imbecile king, Charles
VI, and it is evident from the following
extract from an account of this king’s
treasurer, that thi, artist did make for
this weak-minded sovereign some elegant
sets of cards: U Paid Jacquemen Grin¬
gonneur, painter, for three packs of cards,
in gold and colors, of divers devices, to
present to said lord and king for his
amusement, sixty sols-parises.” But it is
claimed that he merely made copies, pos
sibly in new designs, of cards already
well-known, and that playing cards came
from t their origin being lost in
remote antiquity. The Gypsies may have
been tlie first to introduce them into
Europe, but these were very different in
design and purpose from the cards used
in France. They had in the accidental
combination of their emblematical fig¬
ures, a fancied interpretation of the will
of the unknown Gods, the games being
a series of questions addressed to fate,
and to the results of which the players
bowed with reverential awe. As early as
A. D. 1120, China had playing cards,
said to have come from India .—Good

Reprimanded in Llinrcli,
It was years ago, writes Ned Buntline
in the Detroit Free Press. I had no gray
hairs in my top-knot, no wrinkles in my
face, few griefs in my bosom. I had
business in Quincy, 111., and had to stay
over Thanksgiving day there. I wns invit¬
ed by a fair friend who belonged to tho
choir of a popular church to go with her
to hear the Thanksgiving sermon.
It was one of the old-fashioned kind,
long, theological and dry. I sat where I
could look out, on a vacant lot beside
the church. In that lot alone, wandered
one poor goose—apparently seeking in vain
some way to get out. I saw it and a
thought struck me. I wrote a paraphra
sic verse on the blank leaf of my fair
friend’s singing book. These were the
words:
Twas tho last goose of autumn
Ijeft standing alone;
All its feathered companions
Were slaughtered and gone—
Not a goose of its kindred,
Not a gander was nigh
To list to its sorrow,
Or yield sigh for sigh!
I handed the book over to the lady and
pointed to the unhappy goose in that
back yard.
She tittered and handed the book tc
the next member of the choir.
The verse wns read, the goose looked
at and so it went all through that large
choir.
And all this time the preacher was
watching me while he went on with his
sermon. When he saw that the choii
was in full blast of glee he broke out:
“It is bad enough for the members oi
the choir to bring strangers into theii
circle, but when such strangers are so
irreverent as to write notes in the singing
books to excite laughter, it is more than
a man of God can boar in silence 1”
I felt worse than that goose, you bet,
and never since then have I tried tc
make fun in a choir,

HOR FARM AND UOMEi
to Trap Hats.
The editor of the Rural New Yorker
has discovered a new method for catch
ing rats in a steel trap. After setting it
so it will spring easily, in any convenient
place where the rodents “most do con
j gregate,” a piece of thin white muslin
about two feet square, more or less, is
spread over the trap and over this are
scattered carelessly a few cookey, cake
or cheese crumb3. Having no fear of
evil from a white cloth, in eating the
crumbs, the rats are sure to get into the
trap, and the cloth does not prevent the
trap from holding them. When the
cloth becomes soiled or bloody it should
be changed for , fresh one . The editor

method is certainly worthy of trial,
Potatoes as Pie Food.
Much of the value of potatoes as a
hog food depends upon the cooking. If
fed largely raw they produce scouring
and do not all digest, thinks a writer in
the National Lite Stock Journal. This is
due to the fact that the potato is com¬
posed so largely of starch as to make
cooking an almost indispensable aid to
i digestion. A little raw potato is bene¬
ficial to the hog’s stomach, when fed
j largely upon corn. It is laxative and
cooling, allaying the feverish tendency
arising from the heating effect* of corn,
j When fed to realize the most benefit
■ f r0La them for fattening, they should be
j boiled and if grain be fed with
thenl) they should be boiIed together<
p ota to e s and corn go well together, the
former giving bulk and the latter con
centrated nutriment. The potatoes have
more value, judiciously fed, as promot
Lag health than for nutriment. Al
though more nutritious than other roots,
the potato, nevertheless, is 75 per cent,
water, so that its nutriment value is far
below that of corn. In fact, it take* 388
pounds of potatoes to be equivalent in
nutriment to 100 pounds of dry corn.
location of Farm Buildings and Or
chardit
The plan adopted by some farmers of
building upon the line of the highway is
in bad taste, as the road is used some¬
what for barnyard, and in some instances
amounts to a nuisance and obstruction.
Having thus expressed disapproval of
the prevailing style, or want of style, the
reader no donbt will look for some plan
or suggestion that may be an improve¬
ment. The best location for a farm is
on the north side of the highway; as all
work seems to come right-handed as it
were, also receiving the direct rays of
the sun upon the fronts of the buildings.
Where the land is hilly and broken, we
must make the best of the situation, hut
as most farms arc level, or nearly so,
some general plan can be adopted, Do
not build west or southwest of the resi¬
dence, for sanitary reasons, as the pre¬
vailing winds come from these directions.
Build residences as central along the
highway as possible, and from four to
six rods back from the line; this will be
far enough to escape the dust from the
street, and make ample space for orna¬
mental purposes. Erect all outbuildings
iu rear of residence, and in a line, on
one or both sides of a lane, being of
sufficient width for the easy turning of
teams; those in constant use first in line,
tlie larger hay and grain barns at farther
end of row, as their more central location
will shorten the haul at the ingathering
of crops.
Another convenient plan is to build
! along the sides of a square, said square
forming a general purpose barnyard.
Care should be taken not to obstruct
direct view from residence into it.
The ancient custom of planting the or
chard along the highway should be aban¬
doned in the future, as it greatly detracts
from a pleasing front view of the farm, and
obstructs a clear view of the road, which
is often desirable. The early pioneer in
his baste to raise fruit generally used the
fimt improvement made for this purpose,
planting along the roadside, very close
to his dwelling, and in some instances
surrounding it. This he regretted after¬
wards, for when about to erect perma¬
nent buildings he not infrequently found
j the orchard encumbering the coveted
I ground.
Would it not be a better plan to post¬
pone planting orchards until more im
S prevements are made, then plant in the
rear of buildings, which in time will
form a beautiful background to them.—

Farm and Garden IYotes.
There is no better fodder crop than
clover hay as food for sheep.
Chloride of lime in the runaway of
rats will both drive them away and serve
as an excellent disinfectant.
Sorghum makes an excellent fodder,
either when used green or cut and cured
like common grass and then fed out as
wanted.
Watch the potatoes. u they are
6pouting rub off the spouts and reduce
the temperature of the cellar as much as
you safely can.
Do not keep different breeds of sheep
together. The conditions best suited to
some are not the best for others, and
when mixed, the result will be that all
will come short.
Cane sugar, or saccharose, oecurs
chiefly in sugar cane, sorghum, the sugar
beet and from the sap of the sugar
maple; it also occurs in corn-stalks and
in small quantities in the grasses.
Grain-raising and pasturing may be
made mutually profitable for a time with¬
out a rotation of crops, but the time is
certain to come when the grain farming
nre< l s to be alternated with grass.
A hill of raspberry plants, after being

There is a great difference in the value
of barnyard manure, and much of it, if
analized, would show that the quantities
usually applied per acre contain really
less plant food than the common dress¬
ings of commercial fertilizers. But the
rotting of manure in the soil helps to da
compose the latter and is thus a double

The red spider and green fly may be

water, .’ although many tourists prefer r

In planting a new bed of asparagus
the first and most requisite tiling is tbs
selection of suitable soil, which should
be a light, sandy loam or clear sand,
without stones or gravel. Seed should
be carefully selected from the largest and
most productive roots, and planted as
early in the spring as possible, in heavily
manured, clean land, in drills about one
foot apart and eight or ten seeds to the
foot.
The natural course of any stream
of water is crooked and interferes
with profitable cultivation even of
grass, as in these days all the mowing
has to be done by horse power and ma¬
chine. It is a great advantage to open
a straight open ditch through a meadow
where the brook runs. The fall will be
better in a straight line, and if tile or
stone drains are run into this open ditch
from all the low places the land thus re
covered will almost certainly be the most
productive on the farm.
The peelings and refuse cut away from
potatoes in preparing for cooking are
usually thrown in the swill barrel and
fed to the pigs. This is not the best use
that can be made of them, especially
when green food is scarce. If the small
amount thrown out every day is saved
for the horse or tho milch cow, it will in¬
crease the appetite and help keep the
animal in better health. Fed to a eow
it will increase the milk supply, and thus
feed tho pig nearly or quite as well as
raw potato parings would do.
Household Hints.
‘Tin ware washed in soda water will
look like new.
To keep postage stamps from sticking
together, rub over the head; th# natural
oil on the hair oils them.
Salt extracts the juices from meat in
cooking. Steaks ought not therefore to
be salted until they have been broiled.
In darning woolen socks, make the
first layer of stout thread, and the cross
threads of woolen yarn. It makes a firm,
smooth darn, which wears well.
Try one of the smallest coal oil lamps.
It looks like a toy, but for a hand lamp
it will make as much light as a good tal¬
low candle, and will not drop sparks.
Fingermarks , may , be removed from
varnished furniture by the use of a little
sweet oil upon a soft rag. Patient rub
bing with chloroform will remove paint
from black silk or any other material.
Recipes.
Baled Tomatoes .—Cut half a dozen
tomatoes in halves, remove the pips, and
fill the inside with a mixture of bread
crumbs, pepper and salt in due propor¬
tions; place a small piece of butter oa
each half tomato, and then lay them close
together in a well-buttered tin. Bake in
a slow oven about half an hour and serve.
’
Farmers' Coolies .—One coffee eup but
ter, one of thick sour cream, two of white
sugar, three eggs, one small teaspoonful 1
of soda, „ one nutmeg , or one tablespoonful . ,. , ,
of lemen extract; do not roll too thin;
bake in a quick oven; for extra occasions j
when you get them rolled out cover I !
lightly with granulated sugar, roli it in, ;
and when baked, cool separately, and
you have cookies you need not fear to
have criticised.
Jellied Chicken .—Boil a chicken until
the meat slips easily from the bones, re
during , . the water to about the
one pint in ;
boiling. Pick off the meat in good sized
pieces, taking out all the fat and bones. ;
Skim the fat from the liquor, add a little
butter, pepper and salt to taste, and add
one-half an ounce of gelatine. When
this dissolves pour it hot over the chicken,
The liquor should be seasoned highly, as
the chicken absorbs much of the flavor.
Plain Pastry for Family I’se .—Plain
pastry, quite palatable (indeed preferred
by some to the richer sort), is made very
much as you do soda biscu.U, v.z„ to
two quarts of flour allow half a pound of
butter and lard, made up into a moder
ately stiff dough with a pint of sour
cream or buttermilk, in which has been
