HINTS FOR THE COOK. lilt of Uncftil Information Aliout HrollliiK 'mil l"rylnu. Of great help to the woman who wIbIich to broil Htenk or eliopH, when nhu 1b unking broad or cuke, 1b the knowledge that sua can do thin with out cooling her ovciih by misercwlng the top of the stove. With proper euro jmyits may be broiled not fried in a. frying pan so that they will be quite .ns juicy and nutritious as though they Jintl been grilled over the coals. The anode of cooking Is simple. The frying pan should bo put on the stove until It is hissing hut. If the meat has very lit tle fat on It the pan may bo rubbed lightly with u bit of butter no larger than (i hickory nut. This is to keep the meat from nticklng when it first goes in. The pan should be so hot thnt the. albumen on the surface of the meat will coagulate the moment it touches the pan. lly this the juices are scaled Ju the meat, and this may be turned and cooked in the pan as it would bo on the gridiron until it is done to suit the tasto of the eaters. Pish may bo broiled in the oven, if this is very hot, nearly as well as over tho lire. .Moth with fish and meat tho after-treatment should be the same a transfer to a hot platter and plentiful basting with but ter. An added savorlness may be given by nibbing tho platter with onion or with garlic, and working minced parB ley into tho butter used in basting. Garlic, so much dreaded by those who have URed it too much or not nt all, is a valuable article when employed In mod eration. It cannot bo hnndled as care lessly nB onion, but If It Is rubbed on tho inside of a salad bowl, or of the dish in which the salad dressing is mixed, its flavor will be found both delicate and delicious. The problem of how to whip cream without changing it into butter is one that lias troubled many housekeepers who liko tills simple and popular Banco for puddings nnd fruit. The secret of success is to have tho erenm churn, which may bo a glass egg beater, and the cream lee cold. One excellent cook nlwnyB fills her cream churn with ieo nnd puts it In the refrigerator for half nn hour or more before using, while tho erenm, too, is kept on ice. Given Kwect, rich cream, the whipping under theso circumstances cannot fail to bo Biicccssful. In tho same coldness of utensils and ingredients lies the secret of a quiekly-mlxcd mayonnnlse. In cooling cream or milk tho danger of curdling is much reduced if n pinch of soda the size of a pen is added. Thero is nlso risk of curdling milk if it ia united when It is put over the fire. The suit should go in the last thing. When greasing puns for cake or muf fins or n griddle for frying cakes it is a common mistake to use too much fat. Tho greasy oniBt that means an at tack of indigestion for tho person who cats it may bo avoided if a flat paint brush Is dipped into melted fat and tho pan lightly brushed with this. It has tho added merit of reaching the cracks and corners that sometimes escape the touch of tho time-honored grensod pa per or cloth, which coats tho cook's ilngcrs more effectually than the pan to which it is applied.

Hpcctnl IioHton letter. 1 Thero is nn old Latin proverb si vis pneem pare bellnin, "If you wuut pcuce prepare for war." It has not been until very recently that our country has come to realize tho truth of this saying, i'or L'O years after tho close of tho civil war, the American people shunned every act, legislative or administrative, that might suggest bloodshed. Tho terrible fury of that four-yenr conflict nnd the sad fnct realized by nil that it was a tight or brother against brother combined to clicct an almost morbid disgust for anything suggestive of militarism. J n Europe, on the other hand, the two decades following the closo of tho rranco-Prusslan wnr In 1871 were so fruitful of developments in military EIGHT-INCH DISAPPEARING GUN science nnd in the mechunicul indus tries connected with it as fairly to rev olutionize the entire art of war. Should European conllict break out to-dny, the campaigns would be conducted in ul most ns different a fashion from those ot 'fll as the latter differed from the mil itary engagements of chivalry. In our country the clamor for const defenses was heeded during Cleveland's first administration. The building of men-of-wnr has since been undertaken on a large scale and our nnvy to-day is far more cillcleut than most people imagine. On tho Pn ciile coast, San Francisco has been pro vided with ns thorough fortilientioiituis any European city could desire, and tho Columbia river at Portland, Ore., has also been well fortified. Guns are now bulldinir for the lloston harbor. which is already fortified, and these will be so arranged thnt lilt! projectiles filled with dynamite may be simultaneously showered upon a hostile lleet. Quite a number of cities on tho Atlnutlc const & re in a position to rebuff the largest fleet that John Bull and Alphouso to gether could send across the Atlantic. So far as the excellence of army equipments is concerned, the United States is fully the equal of European powers. In fact, It is generally ad mitted thnt we are making the best ritles in tlin world, while in the manu facture of largo pieces for army serv ice (lernmny alouo can claim to bo a rival, and none our superior. Nearly till m MAJ. JAMES W. REILLEY. U. S. A. the supplies are made by the govern ment at its manufacturing arsenals. Tho navy has establishments at Wash ington, New York, Norfolk, Va., and .Mure Island, Cal. The army's manu facturing arsenals are five in number. One located at Springfield, Mass., makes tho infantry rilles; another at linck Island, III., mnuiifaetures exclu sively the horse equipments for cavalry and artillery: tho barrels of artillery guns are manufactured at Wntervliot arsenal, West Troy, N. Y.; Frankfort! arsenal, near Philadelphia, supplies tho ammunition for small arms, and tho gun carriages, as well as the ammuni tion for large nrins, are turned out at Watertown, near lioston. 1 visited the lust-nnmed placo this morning. It is in charge of Mnj. James William Pellly, who was sent thero on February 1, 180:, when the rapacity of tho arsenal was first in creased from that of n small shop to that of a gigantic manuructuring es tablishment. The arsenal at Water lllot, which made the Lairds, had been wmmMm 1 '"Tilt 'I'JW' i ii ii i 1 1 i ; hi' i 1 1 i i i mr n ovunur. put into operation tome year earlier. Tho supply of gun harrcls is therefore considerably larger than that of carriages, and consequently somo of tho hitter nro now being made by pri vuto pnrtleB. Thus a contract for 100 guns was let some four years ago to the Ucthlchein iron works. "It will take them just ngnln as long," remarked Mnj. liellly, "to finish the Job. The making of a big gun car riage is no mean undertaking. It re quires tremendous machinery, all of which must be both made and manipu lated with tho most minute accuracy. The trouble is that the machines needed I 'i the manufacture of guns can often be utilized for no other purpose, while most of the machines in other shops nro fiervlcenblc in a great variety of work. Private concerns have therefore com peted but little for the business, and It has been left to the government to build its own machinery and supply itself." It Is n fact that the Watertown arsen al uses some of the most gigantic ma chinery in the United Suites. For one It hns the largest and best equipped testing machine in the world. It has a pulling strength of 800,000 pounds, while ut the same time it is so delicately CARRIAGE IN FIRING POSITION. constructed thnt it will mensure the thickness nnd tensile strength of n hair. Of the four kinds of cannon mountnin guns, field guns, siege nrtillery nnd sea const defenses, tho Inst is by fnr tho bulkiest, und it is to the manufacture of theso that tho Watertown arsenal ia devoted. The carringe is building for a cannon which will be the largest in the world, equal in size to the one exhibited by Krupp nt the Chicago world's fnlr In '03. It will be u breech-loader with a bore of 10 inches, the length of the bar rel being 40.07 feet. When completed It will weigh 280,000 pounds or 140 tons. The projectile will weigh 2,370 pounds, while one round will consume 1,000 pounds of powder. At a distance of 2,500 yards, about a mile nnd a half, tho projectile will penetrate steel of the best quality to tho thlcknes of 20.2 inches. Theso figures must appear all tho more surprising when one con siders that the largest cannon used in the civil wnr, which in its days wns it self a giant, weighed one-sixth as much, fired a projectile of 500 pounds with 50 pounds of powder, and had a penetrat ing power of 0 inches at shooting range. Bulky na these instruments are, their manufacture must nevertheless be ac complished with tho utmost nicety. Tho slightest flnw in tho bpre of tho win non may make it absolutely worth Jess, while an error in the betting of tho carriage- would destroy its accuracy. The barrel is made of the finest quality of forged steel, which is put into a huge latho and bored. Around this heated ptcel bauds are placed. As these grow cold they shrink upon the inner metal und counteract Its expanding force. By this process the pieces of metal are more firmly united than by any amount of welding or casting. Tho process of banding is continued, more omuls, being wrapped around the rear cud of the gun, where the shock of the explosion is greatest. Finally the metal is planed off so as to give the barrel its conical chape; it has now been "assembled und finished." All of this wqrk is done ut Watervliet arsenal. Tho manufacture of gun carriages at Watertown is attended with much mora complicated, though not more deli cate, problems. There is more oppor tunity in this direction for new inven tions, and new varieties of carriages are constantly being introduced, 'lwo kinds of carriages aro now in use in our bcacoast defenses tho barbette and the disappearing carriage. With both of these the great problem is to check tho terrific recoil of the gun without dropping it abruptly. On the barbette carriage a piston attached to the barrel moves in a hollow cylinder filled with oil. The head of the piston has a small opening, through which a Ted runs that thickens to the rear. As the JJU1I recoils the piston is shoved back; it presses ngainst the oil in tho cylinder, and as the escape grows small er is gradually brought to a standstill. Tho disappearing carringu is so con structed that no part of the gun is above tho para pot, and no view of tho enemy, except at the moment of firing. At the discharge the barrel drops back ward ami downward, and is then held below by means of a pawl mid ratchet. A cculcr weight attached ruisea it to the firing pobitluu. A HEROIC EXAMPLE. How n Trench Ofllcer Jlrnvcil tho Infection of Cholcru. Exposure to the flro of nn enemy is not tho only form of bravery which an ofllcer or a soldier may bo called upon to show. Not long ago the French papers chronicled the death of Lleut. Col. Azan, of tho army, of infectious pneumonia contracted while visiting a military hospital where thero were cases of this disease, and encouraging tho men. In connection with this case, tho exploit of Col. Gardarens, of tho sixth regiment of the line, also in tho French army, is recalled. During ono of tho Algerian cam paigns, when tho position of the French troops was somewhat precari ous, some cases of cholera appeared in the regiment. They were all in ono mess. A feeling of panic spread among tho men, which it was necessary to al lay in some way, in order to prevent a disaster. At that time the fact wan not fully known that cholera is communicated wholly through tho food and drink, and is in no other way "contagious." But Col. Gardarens had reason to be lieve that it was not infectious in the ordinary sense. One evening a man had died of chol era in the quarters and lay dead on his bed. Tho men had lied from tho vicin ity in consternation. Tho colonel or dered them to follow him to the pres ence of the victim of cholera and they obeyed. Witli his own hands ho lifted the dead man from his bed and had tho body removed. "Now I will show you," ho said, "that cholera is not in fectious. I shall pass the night on this man's bed." Ho did so. Not only did lie crawl into the dead soldier's bed, without nny change of the clothing, but the wondering soldiers heard him snoring tranquilly through the hours of tho night. In the morning he rose, dressed, gave the military salute and departed, having evidently rested well. Whatever tho soldiers may have thought, they were debarred by this example from showing nny further signs of panic. Youth's Companion. History Rctnltl. The Emperor Nero had a good many faults, among them being that of van ity. Ho has gained tho reputation of cruelty largely on account of the fact that ho insisted upon appearing in pub lic as an amateur actor. His ambition, however, was to play the fiddle beforo a large popular audience, but for a time no suitable opportunity arose. At last, in the tenth year of his reign, Homo was almost entirely destroyed by fire, nnd the whole population was out in the streets. "At hist," he said, "my chance lias come." And he sallied forth with his fiddle in one band and an original composition in tho other. Having seated himself on the top of a pile of smoldering ruins, ho struck up a nocturne in 17 sharps and five flats. Hut the people did not seem to bo pleased. "Don't look vexed," he called out.
