NEW CONDITIONS OF WARFARE.

Smokeless Powder to Be Used In Ger
mnny's Military Evolutions This Year.
This year the Germans are to hold
army maneuvers on G. gigantic scale on
the French frontier and partly in the
provinces conquered from France. The
emperor has resolved to -surpass all
former efforts of martial display and is
to have host OF potentates and princes
as onloolzers. Some remarkable re-
suits may be expected in the use of
smolleless powder both by the artillery
and the infantry. The difficulties in
the way of introducing this powder
have now been overcome very thor
oughly, and the strategist has to deal
with new conditions of warfare in very
long range of weapons and invisibility,
which were not thought of ten years
ago. The scientific aspect of war is n
the ascendant far more than has for
merly been tho case, and, according to
the San francisco Call, generals of the
Moltlle type are more needed than
leaders Of personal daring and dash,
whose impetuosity is of little avail in
modern tactics. The perplexity into
which smolxeless powder may throw
commander was illustrated recently
during artillery maneuvers at Alder
shot, in England. Sir Evelyn Wood,
who is in command at this military
camp, reported that one battery which
had been pounding away for some min
utes at q distance of one mile and
half was SO invisible to the force which
it was attacking that for the sake of
practice orders were sent to fire few
rounds Of ordinary black powder in or
der that the position might be distin-
guished and the range found. In ac-
tual hosGilities there would be no such
accommodation. The death-dealing
guns would be served with energy as
long rs the advantage of being unseen
and unopposcd remained. This must
DC regarded as striking proof that
the now powder of the British service,
cordite, is answering its purpose well.
Cordite consists of about fifty per cont.
Of nitro-glycerine and fifty per cent. of
nitro-cotton, which are combined by q
solvent in small proportion, and cam
phor is added to reduce the sensitive
ness to explosive action. The material
is paste rather than powder, and it
is made by special machinery in the
form of thin cords or threads, which
arc afterward rolled into cartridges of
any size and form. Cordite is thus
equally suitable for small arms or ar
tillcry. An initial velocity iof two
thousand feet per second is Obtained
, and the pressure within the gun cham
Der is said to be less than when black
powder is used. The smokeloss pow
der called balistite is somewhat sim
liar in composition and is also prepared
in any shape for use by the soldier or
sportsman. One very distinctive ad-
vantage this smokeless ammunition of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. description
has over gunpowder lies in inpermea-
biiity to water. ;.ySisAx1&4s.A----------

THE OLD MAJ SINGS.

there's . wabble in t. ~ and stumble in

And the accent might be clearer and the vol
ume be completer,
And there might be much Improvement in the
stress and information.
And polish might be added 70 the crude pro
nunciation;
fore the ancient .7-.Gs.
When the old man plays the fiddle and goes
feeling for the strings:
There IL l2ughtcr choked with tear drops when
the old man sings.
And We form . ring around him. and we place
him In the middle
And he hugs up to bis w1shered cheek the poor
old broken dd0Sa.
And smile comes On his features as he hears
the strings vibration
And he sings the songs Of long ago with falter-
ing intonation;
.snd phantom from the distant past his dis
tant music brings,
And trooping from their dusty graves come
long-forgotten things,
When he tunes the ancient fiddle, and the old
sings
And while the broken man is playing on the
broken fiddle,
And we press around to hear him as he sits
there in the middle;
The sound Of many wedding bells in all the
music surges,
Then we hear their clamor smothered by the
sound OF funeral dirges.
TITS the story of his lifetime that in the music
rings,
And every life's q blind mans tune that's played
on broken strings;
And so we sit in silence while the old man
sings.

THE DELICIOUS PEACH.
Few People Know How to Serve It as I
Should be Served

Few People Know How to Serve It as It
Should be Served.
''There are but few people who know
how to serve peaches and cream in a
manner worthy of that luscious lux
ury," observed a lady the other evening
at restaurant where the fruit had
been placed before her in an altogether
unattractive style. LET me tell you"
she continued, how to present the
fruit in manner fit for the gods. To
begin with, take two Or three large
freestone peaches, yellow ones, fair and
smooth, for each guest whom you ex-
pect to serve. Place them in vessel
and pour very hot water upon them
until they are entirely covered. Let
them remain in the scalding water for
half or three-ouarters of a minute
and then pour covering of cold water
upon them and add a lump of ice as
large as cocoanut.
after they have stood in the cooling
bath ten or fifteen minutes lift them
out one by one and remove the skin,
which can be done with surprising ease
by starting it with knife and pulling
it gently with the fingers, as one does
in peeling tomatoes after similar
treatment. The only difference is that
the skin comes off peaches more easily
than it does off tomatoes. When the
skins are removed put the peaches into
large earthen dish, being careful to
pile them on top of one another as lit
tie as possible, and place the vessel in
the refrigerator. Ten minutes before
it is time to serve them lift them care
fully, one at time, into a large cut
glass dish-a salad bowl will answer
capitally-and cover them over with
fnely-chopped ice. At the table the
hostess is to serve them in fat plates
not in small, deep dishes-and for each
person there must be fork and a
small fruit knife, with which the pits
can be removed easily and without any
'mussiness.' Served in this way and
with fine sugar and cut-glass pitcher
filed with rich, golden cream, a dish
of peaches becomes beautiful, luscious,
melting dream. Over such dainty one
may reverently thank nature for pal
ates and Heaven for peaches. IN. Y.
