piercing projectiles will, it is hoped, settle one more of the questions involved in the armament of our new ships. The tremen- dous charges which modern guns allow, and which the penetration of modern armor plates requires, impose the necessity of mak- ing shells of high grade of steel in order that they may not be broken to pieces against the target. Hitherto the projectiles furnished for use against armor-clads have not been satisfactory; and in order to tempt American steel works to establish suitable appliances for the manufacture of such pro- jectiles, the very large amount of $200, 1000 worth was called for. The calibres include the 6-inch, 8-inch, 1o-inch, and 12-inch. ~
 Prince Oscar Bernadotte, the second son of the king of Sweden, who 8 couple of years ago renounced the rank and privileges of his royal birth to marry Miss Ebba Munck, per- formed an act of gallantry last week which will go far to increase his popularity through out his fathers dominions. A small boat with three men had capsized near the head of the pier at Karlskrona, where he resides. Without hesitating a moment the young giant-his stature is feet inches-jumped fully dressed, into the sea and succeeded ir rescuing two of the drowning men. Int third disappeared beneath the waves, and hi, body was found in the surf couple Of day. later. Prince Oscar is about to receive reward for his courage in the shape .oi the little medal ''for saving life," the same which Prince Bismarck prizes above all hil other orders and decorations.

 PURE DEMOCRACY.

A Virginian writing to a friend in New England has given an interesting description of the Democratic performances in Virginia at the recent election. He sa,. never was Virginia so thoroughly oanvassed; but to no purpose, for there was settled determine tion on the part of the Democratic party leaders not to permit the State to be de- clared for the Republican ticket. The press became extremely violent, and northern statesmen or speakers who came to Virginia to speak were denounced as low blackguards, malignants. and the vilest of creatures Most of the registrars and judges of election were put through an examination to see if were removed and the right kind substituted. It was thought necessary to purge the lists, both of the living and the dead. Fully thirty thousand legal voters lost their votes by these registrars dropping their names from the rolls few days prior to the elec- tion-too late to be remedied. This was especially true in the cities. Eight hundred were erased from the poll books, although tney uAu peeu VotiuS III tuo WAIo Ior years. Five hundred in the outlying districts of Henrico were dropped in the same way. In fact, this trick was faithfully carried out all through the eastern part of Virginia; and then followed the final work on election day. In every part of Virginia where the Republi- can vote was heavy and the voters were col- ored great frauds and intimidation of voters prevailed. In Norfolk, Richmond and other large places not more than one colored voter out of six was allowed to vote. The remains der stood in line part of the day and waited until they became discouraged, and then left, while others stood in line from the rising of the sun until long after dark, and were not permitted to vote. Democratic policemen and young lawyers were present in force to intimidate colored voters.
 There doesn't seem to be much show for Republication in Virginia yet. And, sad to say, the prospect taat there soon will be ii not good.

THAT REPORT.


 The report of the committee which has been investigating town affairs has at last been made public. It will surprise those who have been looking for revelations of general rottenness and dishonesty in the management of the towns business. It contains little that was not already known by most of those who had paid any attention to the matters it treats of. "Censurable looseness" is charged against the selectmen and the superintendent of the almshouse, but the superintendent ia commended for many good things which he has done. No opinion is expressed regarding the merits of Clerkin's case. No Specific finding" is made concerning the town labor matter. Something is said about misplaced charity" and it is hinted that t'infiuence has had something to do with the misplace ment. The personal taxes are not collected as they should be. To oppose consolidation $1, ,550 of the towns money was spent in ways which the consolidationists feel were dark and vain. And a selectman sold some horses to the town.
 It was predicted that this report would have no effect on the political fortunes of anybody interested. It will not. It will also have no effect in hastening or retarding con. solidation.

IN SHAKEsPEARE,s TIME.

What They Ate and How They Ate
 It-Watercresses for the Complex
 lon.
 From the Chicago Herald
 In Shakespeare's time, says the author of s'The England of Shakespeare" good, solid eating was the habit. "The farmer always had his bacon and his ftches of salt and mutton on hand in addition to salt beef and barreled herrings from Yarmouth. In all good houses there was an imposing array of salting tubs. The art of stall feeding was almost unknown, and fresh meat, if procur- able in winter, was very lean. It cost from half penny to a penny pound, which was equal to penny or twopence of our mon- ey. Wheat bread was extravagantly dear, though its price, as we'll as that of beer, wss regulated by law. There was a sort of bread called horse bread, sold in packs. "Cakes of oats and spice were on all good tables" stHot venison pastry" Is spoken of by l Shakespeare. It was to this repast that Page invited Falstaff, and it was rounded off l by s'pipkins and cheese" The author from whom I gather this Shakespearean bill of l fare says that ssthe fee farm rent of Norwich consisted of twenty -four herring pastries of | the new season fish, favored with ginger pepper, cloves, galingals and other spices. On one occasion King James I.'s servant complained that four instead of five her rings were in each pastry, and that they were not baked in good and strong paste as theJ fought to be-"
 Artichokes were among the few vegeta bles used and they were made into pies Among the pastries were those made of pill chard. It Is curious to find that vegetables three hundred years ago were regularly i'm ported, cabbages and onions being sent from Holland to Hull. And such vegetables at were used were salted down extensively. Lettuce was supper dish. Capers made a salad when boiled in oil and vinegar. Rhu- bard was called "Patienee." It was brought from China to England @ little over three centuries ago. Carrots were then known and | eschalots served "to smear the plate before putting meat on it." A salad which Shakes. peare may have eaten was made of turnir leaves. The roots of the turnip were also used by roasting on wood ashes.
 There was a superstition prevalent tha vegetables produced certain extraordinary effects. "Watercress was believed to restor, the bloom to young ladies' cheeks," greer ginger was good for the memory, and con serve of roses (not the salad of roses immor talized by Apuleius) was a capital posse against bedtime. A conserve of rosemary and sage, according to Vermex, should b, used by students, as it ''doth greatly deligh the brain."

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Real estate in New York city is livelier than stocks. Over $4,000,eo0 worth of it was sold at auction last week.
 The movement in the Tenth ward to nomi- nate MT. Hugh Daley for alderman has made rapid progress since its start MT. Dailey's previous experience as a member of the city government and his experience in other branches of public life will make him . valuable member of the board of aldermen. We suppose that his calling and election are sure. They certainly ought to be.
 All the clergymen in Philadelphia, except one, have agreed to devote their sermons on Thanksgiving day to the cause of civil ser- vice reform, in compliance with the request of the Civil Service Reform association. The solitary exception is the chaplain of the Grand Army of the Republic of Pennsylva- mia, who says he won't preach on ths sub- iect because he doesn't believe in it.
 There is somewhat singular state of af- fairs in Hiawatha, Kansas, where the farmers are using corn for fuel. It appears that corn sells on the farm for 90 cents DOT bushel. while the average price of coal delivered there is 21 to 23 cents. The Farmers Ali. ance has called attention to the relative prices of the two commodities, and has ad- vised that one-half the corn crop be used as fuel.
 Some of the towns of Massachusetts seem inclined to own their lighting facilities. Danvers is one of them. The town of Wellesley has already voted to petition for the right to supply it's citizens with electric light, and in Maiden, at the recent Citizens convention to nominate a candidate for mayor, it was voted, by large majority, to request the city council to petition for the passage of g law permitting cities and towns to supply their inhabitants with gas and electricity.
 The defense of the principal sea coast cities is naturally one of the topics most em- phasized in the annual report of the score tary of war. A systematic, consistent poli- cy of fortifcaticn is what he calls for, be- ginning with Washington, New York and San Francisco. When once established, hs thinks, the cost of maintaining thorough I system of defensive works would be compar-
 atively small. To garrison such works as are needed in the principal cities, the major gen
 sral commanding estimates that only s,700
 men would be needed.

 "What is its'' asked the doctor.
 "Do you pull teetha" Mir. X. demanded.
 "Yes when have to" was the reply.
 "Then want tooth pulled"
 "An right come back in the morning and I'll take 1t out for you."
 "Come back in the morning." ejaculated MT. x. s'What do you take me fort Hero I've been in torment for these two days, and for the last two hours I've been hunting all over this confounded town after dentist, and now I'd like to have the job done at once if there is any way to fix it."
 The dentist at first demurred, but at last he consented to come down and get the tooth out at once; and after due interval in which he made his nasty toilet, Mr. X. was admits ted to the house. The chill of the night was everywhere, but x. was too intent upon get ting rid of the troublesome molar to mind that, and he was duly installed in the opera ting chair and an examination made.
 "Hold on there," x. said. as the dentist, having satisfied himself which was the trou- pared for work. "I want to take gas. This tooth has given me about all the pain can stand from it.''
 "Well," the dentist answered, ssthe gas is little low, but if you insist will give you what there is. It will deaden the pain. t1ough very likely you VIII reel It some. The conventional breathing-tube of black rubber was produced, and X. proceeded to inhale for dear life. For moment the denis
 allowed him to pump his lungs from the gal reservoir, and then, taking the breathing tube away, he quickly whipped in his forcepi and whipped out the tooth. 'I did feel it some," X. observed, when he was able get his mouth in condition which allowed him to speak. ses-y "Did youa" the dentist asked, svmpatheti- cslly, ''Not much hopea" "Not so very much, x. replied. "Still knew when It came." When, a moment later, X. prepared to pay his bill, and asked the price, he was surpris ed to be told sum so small that it seemed l that a mistake must have been made. "But is that all you ask for administering gasa" he asked.
 "Oh, blsss you, was the smiling answer
 "there wasn't any gas there. only let yol
 breathe into the tube @ little to satisfy you | imagination"
 x. did not at first know whether to be vex 1 ed or amused, but wisely concluding that tn latter was the better policy, he wended hi
 way home, chuekling, and got himself to bel as the first streaks of the coming dawn began 1 to show in the sky .4
