MUST USE A FOREIGN DOCK.
The Battieship Indiana to BE Sent ID
Halifax to BE Cleaned.


WASHINGTON, July 2S.- Secretary
Long has decided to send the big battle =
ship Indiana TO Halifax to be dOcked
and cleaned. 1t is felt to be necessary
to do this in order to prevent injury to
the hull of the ship from corrosion.
The department would have much pre-
f,rred to send the Indiana to Port
Royal, S. c., for this purpose. but the
opinion of the best navigators III the
navy department was that it would be
decidedly risky III the present unsatis-
factory condition of the approaches to
the dock there.
While the naval officers deplore the
necessity for thus sending our finest
ship to a foreign dock, they say the
practice is not new nor uncommon.

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-The principal
topic of discussion at the cabinet meet
ing was the legal aspect of the proposed
establishment of a military post in

Secretary Alger already has made the

An Eagle as an Alarm Clock.

Mr.. w. LIE G. Beard, in ST. Nicho-
las, tells of tame eagle he had as
a pet in Arizona Mr.. Beard says:
The half breed in whose charge
he had been left told us that he was
far better than an alarm clock, for
no one could sleep through the cries
with which he greeted the rising sun
and his notion of breakfast time.
and while an alarm would ring for
only half a minute, Moses was
wound up to go all day, or until he
got something to eat. But his guard
ian treated him kindly, and Moses
grew and thrived, soon putting on a
handsome suit of brown and gray
feathers, which he was very proud
of and spent most of his spare time
in preening, and he was beginning
to think seriously of trying his
wings when an accident put off his
flying for long time. Having
known, thus far, nothing but kind
ness from man, he was absolutely
without fear, and, as it turned out,
rather too much SO.

proper way to Roast Ducks and Geese.

Proper Way to Roast Ducks and Geese.
Prime ducks must be fat and
young, the lower part of the legs
and webbingrof the feet soft and the
under bill sufficiently soft to break
easily, writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in
her cooking lesson on THE Cooking
of Poultry in The Ladies Home
Journal 1.-THE usual rules for roast
ing and baking will apply to ducks
and geese. They contain, however,
much more fat than either turkeys
or chickens. This, melting while
they are roasting, may be saved for
frying purposes and used in place of
butter. Instead of using bread
crumbs as dressing for ducks or
geese, use potato. For a medium
sized duck allow four good sized po-
tatoes or two cupfuls of mashed po-
tatoes. While the potatoes are hot
and light add to them cup of chop
ped English walnuts, teaspoonful
of salt, half cup of chopped celery
and saltspoonful Of pepper When
thoroughly mixed, put the dressing
into the duck or goosei sew up the
vent, and it is ready to roast The
peculiar flavor impaired by the Gel
cry in the roasting gives a tame
duck much the flavor of wild one.
One Of the choice dishes among Ger
man-American people is goose
stuffed with sauerkraut. The sauer-
kraut is washed thoroughly and
soaked overnight in cold water,
then stuffed into the goose, the
goose trussed and cooked slowly"
