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. Christine Ter
hune Ilerrick, in Harper's llnzar.

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

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

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.,

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

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

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. "I am not unfeeling, but I
