A THREE-DAYS DANCE.

Longest Ball on Record, With Constant
Relays of Musicians.
What promises. to be the longest ball
on record will soon be held at Bright
on, England, in the cause of charity.
says the New York Journal. 1t is said
it will last, continuously, for three
days and three nights. Just how this
will be managed has not yet been
learned. 1t is possible, however, that
it can be kept going by careful ar
rangement of relays of musicians and
dancers who will reel off the waltzes,
mazurkas and schottisches one after
the other. Probably short interval
will be allowed in the daytime for rest,
and then the programme resumed with
increased ardor The entertainment is
to be given in the town hall, and the
institution to be benefited by it is a
dispensary for the relief of the sick
poor. There is long list of titled
people among the patronesses, and it
is presumed that many members Of
the nobility named will grace the oc-
casion by their presence. The Ouch
ess of Teck is the greatest "altesse" on
the list, which also includes the Count
ess of Munster, Baroness de Worms,
Lady Ellis, Lady Pocock, and several
score of the untitled gentry Of the
place. The lord lieutenant of the coun-
ty, the Marquis of Abergavenny, is the
nominal head of the affair, but wheth-
er the authorship Of the idea is his is
not stated.

MANUAL ron ARMY COOKS.
Camp Cooking Not So Had - Might Bs
Supposed.

Supposed.
In camp life the joys Of dining are
more precarioust than In the barracks be-
cause Of the Inconvenience to proper
cooking of the food. says ChautauQuan.
However, as an offset to this drawback
to camp life. the appetite is better In out
door life. For field use the cooking uten-
sill sare necessarily simple. The dishes
are few and instead of the reliable bar
rack range in the shelter OF a tidy
kitchen some rude cooking place must
be improvised. OF these cooking places
the simplest and most economical as
to fuel is in the form of a trench dug In
the ground. With moderate weather.
favorable soil and sufficient skill such
stove can be made to answer every
purpose. Field ovens, too, of primitive
fashion are constructed for baking soft
bread" beans, meats, etc. This IS
done even when the army is on the
march, provided the weather is not too
stormy for the bread to rise. For in
dividual cooking and eating on the
field, necessitated by emergencies, the
government furnishes each soldier with
one meat can and plate combined, one
three-pint canteen, one tin cup, one
knife, fork and spoon. With all its
hardships, camp cooking with the most
primitive implements is not SO fatal to
good food as might be supposed. Per-
haps the chief reason of this is that
there are many recipes for cooking
meats. breads. vegetables, soups, etc..
adapted to just such conditions of fire
and dishes.

The Fate of sunken Ships.

What becomes of the ship that sinks
in mid-ocean? If it is of wood, it takes
in the first place, considerable time for
it to reach the bottom. In one hundred
or more fathoms of water quarter OF
an hour will elapse before the ship
reaches the bottom. 1t sinks slowly,
and when the bottom is reached it falls
gently into the SOFT. oozy bed. with no
crash or breaking. OF course, if it is
laden with pig iron or corresponding
substances, or if it is an iron ship, it
sinks rapidly, and sometimes strikes
the bottom with such force as to
smash to pieces. Once sunken. the
ship becomes the prey of the countless
inhabitants of the ocean. They swarm
make it their home. Besides this, they
cover every inch Of the boat with a
thick layer of lime. This takes time.
of course, and when one generation
dies another continues the work, until
finally the ship is SO laden with heavy
incrustations. corals, sponges and bar
nacles that. if wood, the creaking tim
bers fall apart, and slowly but surely
are absorbed in the waste at the sea
bottom. Iron vessels are demolished
more quickly than those of wood,
which may last for centuries. The only
metals that Withstand the chemical
action of the waves are gold and plat
mum, and glass also seems unaffected.
No matter how long gold may be hid
den In the ocean. 1t will always be gold
when recovered. and this fact ex-
plains the many romantic and adven-
turous searches after hidden subma-
rine treasures lost in shipwrecks.

THE END.
Preserving Corn Fodder.

Four methods in preserving the corn
crop to be used as food for dairy stock
have been tested at the Vermont ex-
pertinent station viz: First, putting in
silo,ears and all; second, cribbing the
ears and putting fodder in silo. feeding
the two together after grinding the
ears: third. curing in shocks, then run
ming through cutter, ears and all. at
time of feeding; fourth, curing in the
field, and husking and grinding ears
and running fodder through cutter at
time of feeding. Of the four methods.
putting in the silo ears and all cut in
Quarter-inch lengths, gave the best re-
suits. This silage cost much less. han
died much better. went farther and
produced more milk than either OF Tie
other three feeds.

Cities and Morals,

This shifting OF the population from
the country to the towns is accompau.
led by profound change in the habits,
thought and mode of life of a large
portion of the population. The wits
are sharpened and the moral sense is
dulled by the excitement and variety
of city life. There is feverish activ.
ity arising from the struggle Of 50
many human beings in such keen com.
petition and such close contact with
each other. The crowding of the popu.
lation increases with the value Of real
estate and the injury to health and
morals increases in the same ratio
