WOMAN’S
WORLD.
For decorative purposes iu tlie home, |
the day or Sunday school at this time
of the year there is. nothing more artistic
or beautiful than .the autumn foliage in
its gloriously briUiant coloring. " The
“Ledger Monthly”'tells how to preserve ]
Jt.
A branch of the yellow-tinted maple
(n that dark'comer, or a prettily arranged
bouquet of the leaves in a blue jardiniere
or pot placed on a well lighted mantel
shelf is a delightful addition to any
room.
A profusion of sumach or the red hued
maple leaves mussed against a green
ish back ground give a marvellous effect,
and the multi-colored trailing vines, ar
tistically draped about picture frames
that hang on dingy walls or mantels, or
wherever good taste directs, lend an air
of cheerfulness as well as individuality
to the apartment.
It is, however, but>a,question of a few
days before the brilliant foliage is a
thing of the past, and if one wishes to
preserve it for a period one should do so
while there is yet vitality in the leaf.
Coating the leaf and stem with wax is
undoubtedly the best way. VV hite wax.
procurable at any paint and oil store
or druggist’s, should be used. In lieu
of the white variety use bobs wax. or
what is still better, a spermaceti caudle.
Melt the wax in an irou, copper or porc-e
lain pot over a slow fire and either dip
the leaves once, one by» one. allowing each
one to drip over the pot until the wax
has solidified, or apply the wax with a <
small bristle brush. The wax will remain
liquid as long as>it is kept warm. If
. the leaves are well coated and carefully
handled they will*last iudefiuitely.
If one prefers/it, the leaves may be
■treated w*ith a batli of white shellac
.varnish. This method gives a very brill
iant gloss that enhances the coloring of
the leaves to a considerable degree.
One must exercise care with tnem
afterward, ior they break easily. If you
cannot purchase white shellac varnish
ask any druggist for bleached shellac,
and dissolve it in alcohol in a warm
place. It may be made of any consis
tency, the more fluid the better in this
instance; it dries almost immediately.
One can obtain many beautiful effects^
by crystallizing autumn leaves. This is
accomplished by suspending them for a
few minutes in a saturated solution of
alum. To a jar of bailing water add
alum as long as it will dissolve. If a
thick coating is desired the leaves should
be dipped a number of times.
When dry they should be covered with
crystal that, without concealing the deli
cate coloring, flash and glitter like
brilliants. Articles-to be used for dec
orating the Christmas-tree may be treat
ed by this method, thus enabling one to
produce novel effects by the exercising
of their ingenuity.

A leg of mutton treated with spices
in the old fashioned way is known in
some parts of England as “Welsh veni
son.” Dean Swift has sung its praises,
and among English gastronomes it was
celebrated before the time of Robin
Hood.
„ In America the best Southdown mut
ton comes from Canada. American
farmers are not willing to breed a variety
of sheep raised for its flesh alone. No
breed of sheep of value as a wool grower
produces fine flavored, tender, juicy mut
ton.
Unless a housewife can get good, ten
der mutton, which is not overfat, yet is
juicy and highly flavored, she should not
attempt a Christmas leg of mutton.
Yearling lamb will not yield the same re
sult. It is a coarse, poorly flavored meat
when it comes from the wool growing
sheep.
If she can secure a leg of the Itcst mut
ton she should let it hang at least a
week if the weather is temperate, and for
ten to twelve days if the weather is cold.
Two days before it is to be roasted a
quarter of an ounce each of allspice and
black pepper should be pounded1 together
and the mixture rubbed over the mutton
twice 4 day. Just before the leg is put in
the oven it is washed- with a little warm
water.
To prepare a paste as for venison, flour
and water are mixed to a dough stiff
enough to rool out. A quart of flour and
a pint of water will .give the proper pre
portion. The paste is then rolled out to
the thickness of half an inch and placed
over the leg.
When the roast is put in theidripplng
pan a piut of boiling water is added.
It requires a hot oven for roasting, and
when the paste browns it must be basted
with the drippings in the bottom of the
pan. When it has cooked an hour the
paste should be removed and thrown
away. It is no longer of use. The meat
is then dredged with salt, pepper and
flour and roasted for an •hotirdonger, with
frequent bastings. It should'be rare, the

The paste serves to keep the juices in

the meat is cooked. This meat should
be accompanied by a rich, brown gravy

bowl of crimson currant jelly.

They say that once upon a time good
old Ivriss had the nightmare and dreamed
■awful dreams, probably because he had
eaten too much snow pudding or ice up
at his North l’ole home. He dreamed,
so the story goes, that in all the wide
world the number of children had doubt
ed and that in every land under the sun
they had learned to keep Christmas, and
that he must provide presents for every
youngster in one day. He groaned and
tossed in his bed in agony of spirit and
wondered how in the world he could
manage.
Then some one came and waked up the
good old saint and asked what the trouble
was, and when told, this kind-hearted
person said, "Oh, that’s all a mistake:
you need only get enough for New York
and let the rest of the world take
care of itself.” So the roly-poly fellow'
breathed freer and started in to give us
the full benefit of his fertile imagination.
Whether the story is true or not, the
result of his work we see all around us,
shop after shop being decked out in holi
day array and showing the wonders of
the Arabian Nights.
Toys, jewels, books, pictures and sport
ing goods have never been finer. Even
babies must be up-to-date, and the young
sters have their Spanish, Cuban and
American armies, their iffivaPfleets, their
wonderful mechanical toys that do every
thing, even to talking, and the garments
in the topnotch of fashion. The wee
girlies must have dollies who rival Solo
mon in all his glory, while they them
selves are equally gorgeous.

An apple cream pie requires a cupful
of stewed and sweetened apples that
have been pushed through a sieve, a cup
ful of cream, two eggs and sweetening
to taste. If an unusually deep plate is
used, three cupfuls of the mixture will
be wanted. In this case the proportions
may be two cupfuls of cream to one of
[ fruit or an equal quantity of each. An
[ egg is needed for every cupful of the
i mixture. Top the pie with a meringue
or whipped cream. Pineapple cream pie
is made in the same way, the canned,
shreddiest kind being used for the pur
pose, and file syrup being drained care
fully from the pulp.
Apple dumplings (with suet crust).—
Make paste exactly as above; peel and
core large cooking apples, fill aperture
-with sugar and yellow lenion peel, moist
en with a very little cider or water; roll
cut paste only once, if possible. Stand
apples on the sheet at proper distance,
cut in squares, draw up corners to cover
apple, pinbh and bake until dumpling
splits and shows the fruit soft. These
may be thrown into a large pot of boiling
water, after each is tied in a floured
cloth, with room left for swelling.

The thing that makes many of our
women look cross, tired out, old and
prematurely wrinkled is lack of sleep.
All the Twentieth Century women—
the professional woman, the. shop girl,
the domestic servant and the society belle
—seem determined to defeat the efforts
of nature’s gentle restorer for the tired
brain and body.
The hustling life of this age leaves
little time for repose even for the lady
of leisure. That term is a mere nothing
for there is truly no leisure class in this
country. Everyone is so busy that the
demands of nature go unheeded.
Amiel has said, “To sleep is to strain
and purify our emotions, to deposit the
mud of life, to calm the fever of the
I soul, to return into the bosom of ma
| ternal nature, thence to reissue healed
and strong.”
But despite the fact that sleep is the
great strength giver aud that health and
beauty as well ns happiness depend upon
it,/*women will persist in giving but
from five to seven hours to it when ten
is not too much to keep them strong and
beautiful.
All the powders and lotions in crea
tion cannot so effectually do away with
wrinkles as can sufficient sleep. If every
woman would drop all these things for
one year and make-preparations to sleep
as long in each twenty-four hours as
nature required, it would be surprising
what a change for the better would come
over the feminine portion of humanity.

Linen is always a welcome gift to the
housewife of slender means. A new
feature in table linens is the round cloths
for the now popular circular tables. Sizes
range from two to four yards in diam
eter, and prices from $4.50 to $70 a yard,
according to size and elaborate needle
work. The most expensive ones have
rich real lace centres, with deep, irregu
lar lace borders set in like medallions.
Among the choice and beautiful designs
are the "King Arthur,” with perfectly
plain centres and deep hanging lace bor
ders, and those with designs in lilacs,
wistaria, chrysanthemums and American
Beauty roses'.
Orders are taken at many of the stores
now to have cloths and napkins em
broidered with initials—which gives indi
viduality to a very -Useful gift.' All
presents of household linen seem much
daintier if accompanied by a sachet bag
One of the nicest playthings for the
children is the miniature cash carrier.
This can be strung from one corner of
a room to another, and has springs and
rubber bumpers at the e*,<ls to stop the
carrier. In addition to this there is
paper money aud directions which help
the amateur shopkeepers to go into busi
ness, _- -_~ -
Ten Years’Trial j
The Story of a. Soldier’s Struggle <
By Brigadier General

' CHAPTER I.
The sunshine of a glorious autumn
morning was slanting along the valley
of the Pawnee, throwing bold shadows
into the flats and lighting the land
scape for miles with crimson and gold.
The dew sparkling on the wild •‘bull”
berry bushes, on tufted buffalo grass
and tiny flowerets mantled the bluffs
with diamonds and was still so strong
, as to defy its one enemy, the sun god.
The frost had smitten the scant foliage
on the banks of the winding stream,
and the leaves had donned their glori
ous hues, setting forth their richest col
or—as the swan reserves its song—to
meet the universal conqueror. The
mist rose slowly from the silent, shal
low pools, and from distant village and
Irom the neighboring heights the
fmoke of chimney or campfire soared
straight to tht; skies. It was a morn
ing to send the blood leaping through
young veins and to brighten the eye of
age, a morning in which all nature
seemed to rejoice and all mankind to
thank God for the joy of living. let
in the midst of a scene of such peace
and health and hope there stood alone
a man, still young, from whose face
hope, peace, even health, apparently,
had fled and whose attitude was one
of utter grief and dejection. He was
leaning against a branching willow,
gazing into the depths of the broad
pool of the Pawnee just above the rap
ids with God alone knows what
thoughts seething through his brain,
when the silence of the morning was
broken by sudden, stirring sound.
Close at hand from the willows across
the stream there rang out loud and
clear the call of a cavalry trumpet, fol
lowed almost Instantly by the appear
ance of haJJ- a dozen horsemen moving
at steady walk from a break jn the
timber and descending the gentle slope
to the ford. Foremost rode a power
fully built soldier in the field uniform
of the United States horse. Behind,
side t)y side, came two young soldiers,
all three evidently officers. Then fol
lowed a brace oft troopers—orderlies' or
grooms—and a jaunty lad with the yel
low braid and glistening trumpet
slung from the shoulder. Straight
through the ford the leader splashed,
looking neither to right nor left, the
sunlight peering under his hat brim
and cresting with gold his bushy eye
brows sand bristling mustache. Straight
at his heels followed his little party,
and then from the same opening In the
willows there burst into view the head
of a column of cavalry, moving at the
same measured pace and with the same
erect and martial bearing.
At the first sound of the trumpet the
lonely figure at the edge of the pool
darted back out of view and, bending
low, stood where by peering through
the bushes the column could be kept in
sight, but when a moment later the
fluttering guidon of the foremost troop
came suddenly flaunting into the sun
shine, all its brilliant color instantly
enhanced, some Intense emotion seem
ed to seize upon the lonely watcher.
Bising to his full height, with bis
clinched‘-hands thrown above his bead,
he whirled about and, with an inarticu
late cry, sank like a stricken bull to
earth and lay face downward and bur
ied in his arms, bis whole form shaken
with sobs.
Troop after troop, until the fourth
had passed, the squadron crossed the
ford and moved steadily up the south
ward slope, following a winding road
that led to tft? group of buildings
crowning tbe height, and still the
youug man lay there. 0*-er beyond the
low line of bluff to the west a cloud of
dust began to rise, aDd there was
sound of martial music. A tall flag
staff, looking like a siitn white arrow,
pierced the sky lice from that west
ward crest, and the little bit of bunting
fluttering at its summit was suddenly
lowered, only to be replaced a moment
later by a symbol that told it was some
unusual occasion at the post, the arriv
al perhaps of some dignltary,o'f superi
or rank, and in confirmation.- of this
view, as the great garrison flag swung
up to the head of tbe staff, the earth
trembled and the boom of a battery sa
lijte throbbed on the ear. Even then
there was no change in the attitude of
the sufferer unless it were that he bur
led his face still deeper in bis arms, but
all of a sudden be started, half raised
his head and listened.
Somewhere up stream a clear, power
ful voice was shouting:
‘‘Langdon! Eric, old chap! For
God’s sake, where are you?”
Hurriedly the listener drew his hand
kerchief hard across his eyes, shaking
bis head in the effort to pull himself
together. But he gave no answer.
Presently the call was repeated, loud
er, nearer, and now bounding hoof
beats could be heard.
'•Eric, 1 say! Eric!”
There was something almost com
manding In the cry, and still no an
swer came from the man, who evident*
ly recognized both voice and name, to
Whom indeed the former seemed to
bring a bit of hope or help or comfort*
for the utter despond in his pale, sad
face was lightened the veriest trifle.
Yet he turned again toward the river,
as though resolute to ignore the sum
mons. .
The next instant glad aad winsome
In the sunshine at the edge of the tim
ber,' there galloped into sight a young
offlcjer whose brave blue eyes and rud
dy cheeks and fair, crisply curling hair
would have invited more than a single
glance, while the grace of his strong
yet slender form and his capital seat in
saddle would have made him marked
even among a score of his fellows. He
rode with utter abandon, leaping his
mettlesome, excited horse over the few
obstacles along the fringe of willows
as though be and his steed had wings
mad this was ecsy_aa flying.____
"Eric! Eric Ganglion, I sayr rang
out the brave young voice once more,
anil then, as a gleam of the suushi«e
shot through the willows, his eagerly
searching eyes caught sight of the lone
figure, the object of his morning scout.
In an instant he had sprung from
saddle.
“Erie—you-^-you”— he began in al
.rnost boyish eagerness. "Stand where
you are. Ronald!” he commandingly
spoke to his beautiful horse and then,
unhesitatingly leaving him without
fastening of any kind, fairly leaped In
to the timber and to the side of his
friend. Whipping off his gauntlet, he
held forth his bared hand.
“Remember Old Spot’s story, Eric;
what we used to bear from those, cav
alry fellows—never give a gloved hand
If you want to talk business with In
dian or friend? Old man, you—you,”
and for a moment he paused partly
for breath, partly for words, and the
bright blue eyes seemed suspiciously
near brimming, “you’ve given me a
bad night and a woeful morning. If It
hadn't been for Melville, God bless
him, I don't know what I’d done. He
saw I was just all upset. He said,
‘You may find him down by the river.’
He said there'd be half an hour before
review and for me to tell you for him—
for him, by heaven!”—and here the
young soldier’s emotion was too much
for his eyes—“that you mustn’t think of
going until he had bad a chance to say
a word of friendship. Eric, what more
do you need to keep you from giving us
all the slip?”
Almost impulsively the elder turned,
tears starting into bis own haggard
eyes.
“Did Melville say that, Rodney? Do
you—you’re not making It better than
he did—God bless him anyhow—In your
loyal effort to—comfort me.”
“Swear to it, Eric, if need be, and I
know it’s what you deserve to hear."
Then, with rueful smile: “Even if you
did try to pull out without giving any
fellow a chance. 1 missed you just
after 1—just after the Brocktons’ func
tion broke up. Woodrow and I scooted
over to your room the moment we
could get away, and there was your
luggage all packed, but no sign of you.
Couldn’t find Hurricane either—wish
you could have seen that old nigger sit
ting on the back steps crying this
morning—so 1 started through the post,
scouting everywhere I thought you
might be except—except”— And here
an honest blush went up to the young
fellow’s brows. "Well, It was 3 o’clock
when 1 left a note for you in the old
roost and 5 when I got in there again
and found my note there, but not you,
only old Hurricane boobooing at the
back. Listen! • Yes, there goes adju
tant’s call. Eric, I may tell Melville
you'iy come? Steady there, Ronald!”
he Interjected, for the spirited charger,
well knowing the call, had whirled
about and was pawing and suorting in
manifest impatience. His owner mov
ed to his sid** but his eyes never left
the form of his friend.
It was a moment before the latter
could speak. Meantime the young lieu
tenant had vaulted into saddle and- was
loggysg.
A brilliant spectacle lay before the eyes of
: EricLangdon.
at once caressing and controlling his
pet, who was frettiDg and plunging in
his eagerness to gallop to his place “in
battery.”
“May. tell the major I thank, him
with all my heart. I shall be there.”
And now Ronald sprang away like a
deer, shooting up the slope toward the
west as though life hod no higher joy
than a hand gallop. Lieutenant May
turned in the saddle to wave & friendly
hand to the figure standing at the edge
of the wiHows. Then horse and rider
in long, easy curve rounded the shoul
der of the bluff and skimmed out of
sight.
Half an hour later a brill'gnt specta
cle ipy before the eyes of Eric Lang
don. It was one to thrill and delight
even an unprofessional eye, but this
was the eye of a practiced soldier, to
whom every detail was familiar, a sol
dier who many a time had taken active
and up to within three months promi
nent part in similar pageants. Now It
was the will of the law that he should
be cut off from further participation In
scenes of the kind. By the stern edict
of a court martial duly confirmed by
j the order of the president himself
I Langdon stood summarily dismissed
j from the military service of the United

ROWING PLANS.
i _
The American Association
Stewards Meet and Elect
Officers—The Date
of Regatta.
The Board of Stewards of the Ameri
can Rowing Association met at the Uni
versity Club, in New oYrk, on Suturday.
There were present Messrs. Reath,
Forbes and Packard, of Philadelphia;
Van Duzer, Curtiss and Meiklehani, of
New York: Professor Durantl, of Cor
nell; Messrs. Hollis, Blake. Storrow,
Higginson, Henderson and Cabot, of Bos
ton. According to the constitution, the
management is vested in an executive !
committee of seven members, of which
the chairman and secretary of the Board
of Stewards are members ex-officio.
The officers for the ensuing year were ,
elected as follows:—Chairman, H. S. ■
Yan'Duzer: vice chairman, Hugh Cabot;
treasurer. William Innes Forbes; secre
tary, W. P. Henderson; executive com
mittee—Thomas Reath, W. F. Durand.
W. I. Forbes. EdsonP. Gallaudet, W. A.
Meiklehani.
Upon these gentlemen will rest the
clfflf work of making the regatta to be
held in Philadelphia on July 2, 1903, a
success. It will be the first opportunity
offered to college oarsmen, past and
present, to meet tinder the auspices of ;
an organization wholly without sectional
feeling, and which will guarantee as ab- j
solutely as possible the amateur standing
of each contestant. Each entry will be
carefully investigated by the committee
under the following clause of the consti
tution:—"The Executive Committee may,
if they deem any entry for the regatta
a proper subject for investigation, enter
tain the question irrespective of the en
tering of a protest, and they shall have
power to refuse any entry up to the time
of starting, without assigning, a reason
therefor.” The high and well known
standing of the members of the Board
is a sufficient guarantee that the entries
will be made to conform to the highest
ideals of the sport, and tlier is no in
ducement to row except for the honor of
winning. It is the hope of the commit
tee to have challenge cups for each event
and the winner, beyond having his name
inscribed on the cup, will receive only a
medal or pewter mug as a prize. In
this way any tendency to compete for
the sake of the prize will be eliminated.
Races will be held for singles, doubles,
fours and eights, and the present classi
fication of oarsmen into juniers and
seniors will probably not be adhered to.
It is likely that the qualifications neces
sary for each race will be specifically
stated, and that in this way a fruitful
source of trouble will be avoided. The
stewards intend to stimulate inter
scholastic rowing by offering special
races open only to crews from prepara
tory schools and these crews will not be
encouraged to enter the other events in
which they would be called upon to com
pete with more mature oarsmen.

backed into the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks near the Waldo avenue yards. A
Pennsylvania Railroad engine, drawing
the Pullman car “Rowan” and a pas
senger eoac-h had just crossed the track
on which the direlict train was running.
The freighter struck the rear end' of the
“Rowan,” smashing it and exploding tho
gas tank, which set fire to the car. Fire
Engine No. 9 from Duncan avenue was
called, but both cars were destroyed be
fore it arrived.
When the first collision occurred en

from ithe engine and trestle, a distance
of* 35 feet to the ground.

Acadehiy street. Both men were suffer
ing intense pain, and neither one could
move. Hoffman had b*th knees injured
and his face badly lacerated. Murray
was more seriously hurt, his right knee
cap being fractured, his right wrist brok
en, and his right ear tom from his head;
he also suffered internal injuries, and sev
eral ugly cuts about the head and-face.
The men were taken to the City Hospital
