The Impregnable Of 1914 was Of 2,27s
tons, 9S gun ship by the official rat
ing. though her ten carronades brought
her total battery up to 10s guns. She
was therefore by no means one Of the
largest ships; indeed we had ten of
greater size and force at sea or in re-
serve. Her heaviest gun was tho old BIZ
FOUNDER smooth bore, mounted on the
rudest truck carriage, without sights or
elevating screw. Her broadside was
LOIS pounds. Her total crew was,
when she was fully manned, 748-offi-
GERS, men and boys. The men were
raised by impressment or recruited vol
UNFAIRLY for the ships commission. We
had not as yet adopted our present nd
mirable system of manning the fleet.
The discipline was arbitrary and cruel |;
there were nierciless floggings with the
cat for the smallest offenses, and the
number Of lashes inflicted varied from
n dozen or half dozen TO 500 and even
LOCO.
Reading the court martials Of those
days, one alternately wonders how the
officers held down the gangs Of rufiians
they commanded and how the men en-.
dured the manifold brutalities Of their
officers. Brave to superlative degree
as these men were, with that fiery cour.
age which welcomes battle and death,
they cannot compare in quality with
the officers and men who now take our
ships to seq. Everywhere except in the
highest ranks, where our captains and
admirals arc too old, the change has
been one wholly for the good. Yet it
has not kept pace with the times, and
today our sailors arc poorly paid and
not too weh fed. Nineteenth Century.

Edible "Comns."

At very early period the orientals
were familiar with kind of pastry, q
mixture of flour, oil and honey. and
for centuries pastry making went no
further. even among the nations in the
south of Europe. But in the beginning
Of the middle ages change began to
take place in the method Of mixing the
ingredients, and some other substances
were brought into use. Butter, eggs
and salt found their way into pastry
making, and the result was manifest
improvement. Paste next came to be
used as an inclosure for meat, seasoned
with spices. etc. Afterward it went a
step further, the next use being for the
inclcsrre of creams, fruit, preserves,
ETC., and later still it began to take the
many fanciful shapes in which it has
since been commonly found. In the
early stages of English cookery the
pastry cases were called collins or
"coffynes" and were made in various
sizes from "gret coffynes with lowe
liddes" for the "tartes of fflesche" to
the "smalle coffynes" for "tartolettes'
of "fscbo or ffleschc," mixed with
"stuf Of boylled figges ground and good
powdure and spices"
Petruchio in "The Tanning of the
Shrew," it may here be noted, calls a
little cap "a custard coffin" These
coffins correspond with the "vol.a
