No More Four Year-Old Mutton.

With regard to mutton, four-year-
old mutton is now thing of the past.
Formerly people could not dine unless
the saddle Of mutton was cut from a
four-ycar- old sheep: now the mutton
sent to the table is from IS months to
years old. and the younger genera
ton are not sure that it is not prefer
able to the much priced four year-old
mutton. The saddle is still consid-
cred the prime joint to serve.

The COnfederacy's Material Resources.
AS to material resources, there is no
region under the sun more blessed in
natural resources for waging war than
the territory formed by the eleven Sc
ceding states. Within their own Dor
ders was to be found everything nee
essary for arming. equipping. feeding,
and clothing their armies. The history
OF the industrial development of the
south during the war has never yet
been written. 1t is even more wonder
flu, than that of it's armies in the field,
and is the most striking proof Of that
versatility and ingenuity which are pc
culiar to the American people. Before
the war it was purely an agricultural
people: there were no ship-yards,
dockyards, factories or machine shops
to speak OF. Within few months after
hostilities began these farmers and
planters were building ironclads, ma
rine boilers and engines, and torpedoes
and torpedo-boats, and founding can
non and shells, and manufacturing
muskets and rifles. When Sumter was
fired upor there was not powder fac
tory in all the land. Soon almost every
village had its piles of refuse for max
ing saltpeter, and before the war ended
the factories in Georgia and North
Carolina could have supplied all the
armies in the field with gunpowder.
Cotton factories had also been built.
and were all at work making cloth for
the soldiers; and there was plenty of
food in the south. though the soldiers
failed to get their share Of it, for corn
had taken the place of cotton in the
fields, and there was an abundance of
cattle and hogs. In the last year Of the
war Sherman's army marched through
the south. not starving like Lees men
in the trenches before Petersburg, but
living upon the fat of the land. No;
there was no lack of men and warlike
resources in the south: the causes of
failure must be looked for elsewhere.
Grants Narrow Escape from Capture.
A few days before, an occurrence
had happened which came very near
depriving the armies of the services of
Gen. Grant in the Virginia campaign.
On his return to headquarters after his
last visit to the president in Washing
ton. when his special train reached
Warrentown Junction he saw a large
cloud OF dust to the east of the road.
Upon making inquiries Of the station
master as to its cause, he learned that
Col Mosby, who commanded a partisan
confederate force. called by his own
people Mosby's ''conglomerates," and
who had become famous for his cavalry
raids. had just passed. driving a de-
tachment OF our cavalry before him.
II the train had been a few minutes
earlier Mosby, like Christopher Column
bus upon his voyage to this country.
would have discovered something
which he was not looking for. As the
train carried no guard, 1t would not
have been possible to make any de-
Tense. In such case the Union COM
mander would have reached Richmond
a year sooner than lie finally arrived
there. but not at the head of an army.

One Pound of Coal ON a Steamship.


The value of pound of coal at diff
ferent epochs of steamship evolution, as
given by Mr.. A. J. McGinnis, president
of the Liverpool Engineering society,
has been as follows: In 1910 pound OF
coal propelled displacement weight of
.578 ton knots; but the earning weight
was only one tenth of this, 80 per cent
of the displacement representing the
hull, machinery and fuel. In 1850, with
iron vessels and the screw propeller, a
displacement weight of g ton was pro-
PEELED knots by a pound of coal; but
the proportion of cargo had risen to %
per cent, or .I6 ton. In 1860, with
higher boiler pressure and the surface
condenser, SO ton displacement was
propelled 10 knots, and the cargo was
83 per cent, or .27 ton. In 1870, after
the compound engine had come into
use, ]. s tons displacement was propelled
10 knots, and here the cargo formed 80
per cent OF the whole, being 9 ton. In
1885 there were two classes of freight
boats-the tramp propelled 3. tons
displacement p knots, with 60 per cent,
or 2 tons of cargo; at the same time the
enormous cargo steamers of the north
Atlantic We're driving a displacement OF
3. II tons II knots, with % per cent, or
IL tons of cargo. On the modern ex-
press passenger steamers the cargo
weight is down TO 90 ton per pound OF

The Outlook, weekly paper of New
York, formerly called the Christian
Union, and printed in quarto form
has been changed to the magazine OIL
octave form. The change very much
improves it, and must render it more
popular with its readers, than when
in the quarto form. 1t is understood
that this octave form. will soon be
adopted by other leading quarto publ
cations, and eventually may become
the only form in which weekly papers
will appear, as the cost of publication
is but slightly increased, and the con-
venience to the reader is greatly en-

New York Press, in some stories about
countersigns, prints the following
about Mr.. Allderdice:
Il remember once at the Mare Isl

(who spends three hours every morn
ing before dinner every day dressing
for the EVENING" had check suit which
was loud enough to drown the voice
of a 15-inch gun. He was proud of that
suit, and when he was going ashore N
it he extended the dressing period from
three to four hours.
Until 9 o'clock in the evening the
countersign was not demanded. The
form was Advance, officer and be rec

returning to his ship one evening be-
fore 9 o'clock The sentry was a recent
recruit, very conscientious and very
much impressed with maintaining the
dignity of the service, albeit as green
as new paint on window shutters.
When he saw Allderdice he challenged,
Who goes there?'
Officer said Allderdice.
Advance, officer, and be recog-
nizedr responded the sentry.
'Allderdice advanced.
~ don't recognize you, said the
sentry, and then after pause, while
Allderdice walked on-'in that suit!
he cried.
But Allderdice, whose serenity an
earthquake could not disturb, went on
down the walk, and the sentry, who
did not know just what to do under
the circumstances, bawled after him:
