COOKING AT SEA.
How Sauce-Pans Are Held in Place During
Rough Weather

How Sauce-Pans Are Held in Place During
Rough Weather
The first thing that naturally attracts
the attention of a landsman is, what a
fearful state of confusion there must be
IN the galley during a rolling sea!
Imagine an ordinary Kitchen CRATE
covered with saucepans, etc., were it
suddenly to begin to swing backward
and forward like see-saw. This diff
Guilty, however, is easily overcome.
Every galley fire is fixed with a number
Of iron bars fastened to rod at the
back, and which tit into little grooves
in rod in front. Consequently, when
the sea is rough these bars are fixed,
and each cooking utensil is held tightly
in its place between the bars just the
same as saucepan could be held over
an ordinary fireplace with a strong
pair of pincers.
Another difficulty is when the sauce
pans on the fire are all full-when the
ship rolls they run over. The remedy
for this is as simple as Dr. Abernethy' $
one for the old lady who complained of
having such a dreadful painful pain in
her arm when she went $50" He
pocketed the guinea and said Don't
go So" So with the sauce pans. The
simple remedy is: Don't fill the sauce
pans" No sauce pans on board ship
should ever be more than three-quar-
ters full when the ship is rolling.
My first impression in watching the
cooking on board ship was-how many
practical lessons might be learned
from it by cooks on shore! How often
do cooks complain "there is no doing
any thing in this pokey Kitchen" the
pokey Kitchen being probably quite
four times the size of the galley in which
am now standing, in which break.
fast, lunch and dinner have to be pre-
pared for over two hundred persons.
The requisite qualities required for
success are early rising, an entire alb
sence of business, and, by no means
the least important, the power of look
ing ahead and seeing that each person
minds his own business without inter-
fering with another's. -CGssetps Fam

SAID TO BE True.

Sanguine Encounter Between a Southern
gentleman and a Modest Stranger.
The following is strictly true. This
statement is made in defense of every
thing else which has appeared in this
paper.
Several years ago Il gentleman, and
one, too, who became distinguished
General in the Confederate army, met,
in Hot Springs, man whom he
thought he could beat playing billiards.
81 can beat you playing billiards."
said he, ''for ten dollars game"
The stranger modestly replied that
he was not billiard player, but that
as he had few dollars for which he
had no particular use, he would play.
The game began. The stranger beat
the General ten games. The General
paid the money and remarked:
"Gou have beat me playing billiards,
but can whip you"
The stranger, evidently quiet man,
replied:
us that the custom of the country?
Understand that have been here but
short time and that desire to do as
the people do"
"That is the CUSTOM" said the Gen
eral.
"All right. never had a fight in
my life, but if it is the custom of the
country TO fight man simply because
you can't beat him playing billiards,
all right. As a gentleman you will not
take advantage of me-
"Of course not. -
"You acknowledge that I beat you
plying blliards?n
Eyes, and therefore 1 propose to
whip you"
"And you won't take any advantage
of me?"
mo sir. l am gentleman.
''You have doubtless lot of tricks in
boxing of which 1 know nothing"
81 tell you, sir, that l am a gentle
man. Therefore l have no tricks"
"All right"
They went into the back yard. The
stranger was ''skittish," but finally he
came up. Friends "called time" and
the boxing began. The Southern gem
tleman was knocked down. He got up
and was knocked down again. Again
he tried it and again he went down.
Look here, y said the Southern gen.
tleman. as his friends were wiping the
blood off his face, where do you live ?"
SIN Ireland"
"What is your business?"
''I am rize-fghter."
The Southern gentleman turned
away. He had whipped every thing
that had come along, but he was mod
est enough to acknowledge that there
were some men who could whip him.
To-day he is one of the most successful
cotton planters in the South, and is
peaceable, but fights when man asks
him to play billiards. -ArkaaSaw TraU-

A. T. Stewards Mascot.

/ hear queer story of the supersti-
ton of A. L. Stewart. From the be-
ginning of his career as New York
merchant until shortly before his death
he imagined that his fortune was bound
up in that of the little old apple woman
who had stand in front OF his store.
When his chief store was down by the
City Hall this little old apple woman
was encouraged and protected by him,
and when he moved further up Broad

occupied by Denning, it is said that he

during all OF its prosperity in these
new quarters, but shortly before his
death she disappeared. Stewart looked
upon her as mascot, and he often
said, so the story goes. that when she
died or left the place that his good luck
would 90 with her. Strange to say it
was even so. A few months after this

woman was hardly forgotten before he
was in his grave. - Carp, in Clecelaad

THE PRESIDENTS.
Their Standing from Strictly Financial
Point of View.

Their Standing from a Strictly Financial
Point of View.
OF the earlier Presidents Washington
was the wealthiest. When he died his
estate at moderate valuation was
worth 100000. Adams was poor
man, but independent in his last years,
thanks to the good management of his
wife. Jefferson was wealthy when he
became President, but lost his property
and died insolyent. His home was sold,
and his daughter was saved from want
by the generosity of South Carolina,
which gave her $4,000. Congress
bought his library, and with the pro-
ceeds his debts were paid. All of his
descendants are poor. Madison left a
handsome property, and was wealthy
when President. Congress bought his
manuscript papers, paying $50, 900 for
them. Mrs. Madison's son, Payne
Todd, squandered her property, and in
few years after her husbands death
she was poor. His estate was valued
at $3.50, 900 in 1916.
James Monroe died insolvent. He
sold his Virginia estate after the death
of his wife, and died in New York.
John Quincy Adams left $4,000.
His successor, Andrew Jackson, was a
rich man for his day. The Hermitage,
which he leftto his adopted son, is now
the property of the State. Martin Van
Buren, left fine estate valued at $780,
900.
James X. Polk left about half this
amount, and, as he had no children to
make use of it, his widow has enjoyed
it since his death.
John Tyler was not rich man,
though he owned fine farm in Vir-
ginia and number of slaves. He had
large family, and was so long in
public life that he went to the White
House poor. What he saved in Office
enabled him TO live in comfort after
ward. His second wife had means,
and their eight children were we'll
educated.
Mr.. Fillmore, by second marriage,
became wealthy man.
Franklin Pierce left no child to in
herit his property, which was valued
at $50, 900.
President Buchanan was worth
$3.50, 900, which he gave to his nephews
and nieces.
Abraham Lincoln 8 estate was valued
at $4,000.
Andrew Sohnson had $4,000 when
he left the White House. A part of
this amount was lost by the failure of
the Freedman's Bank,
President Grant never had any
money until he became Lieutenant
General. His salary and the generous
gifts of his friends made him million
aire. All of his property was lost in
the Grant-Ward failure. His wife is
independent again through the sale of
his book.
Hayes is very wealthy.
The gifts to Mrs, Garfield made her
rich. Her husband lefta small property,
worth not more than $4,000
Ex-President Arthur is worth about
800, 900, and Cleveland has about the
same amount.-N. Y Sun.

The Russian Guards.

Created in 1891, they received their
baptism of fire in 1856 during the
two Azof campaigns, after which came
the following exploits in their order of
date: Narva, 100; capture of the
fortress of Nienschanz, 1903; battle of
Pultawa, 1909; siege of Viborg. 1710;
battle of the Pruth, 1711; siege of Stet-
tin, 17l2; of Eigenstadt Hango, 1913;
capture of Otchakof, 1887; capture of
Khotine and battle of Stawngans, with
the Swedes, 1879. After this long
interval elapsed before the Guards re.
appeared in the field at Austerlltl in
1905. They were present afterwards
at Fredland in 1907, Borodino in 1872,
Bautzen, Culm and Leipsic in 1918, and
La Fere Champenoise and Paris in 1914.
In 1928 they fought in Turkey before
Varna and in the action of Hadji
Hassan Larom. In 1881, during the
Polish war, they took part in the com,
bats ut Szimanowo, Przetyn, Rudki,
Ostrolenka, and in the assault on War
saw. In 1868 they served during the
Polish instruction, and their last act.
i've service was during the Turkish
war of 1918. -N0uoe YremyG.
