FIRE FROM WARSHIPS.
1t Could BE Rendered More Effective
II Delivered with Discrim-
nation.

Attack by light shot or shell upon a
thick armor belt would be Intellectual,
however well directed; and, again,
heavy shot or shell fired from the main
armament of battleship would not be
properly employed as rule in attack
ing unarmored positions. The only
reason for putting guns of different
caliber upon ship is that the target
presented to them by the enemy's YES
sci is not homogeneous body. If it
were 1t would simplify matters to have
all guns alike. The big guns are for
the hard places and the small guns are
for the soft ones.
There Is a proper target upon every
enemy's ship for each Of the different
calibers OF guns carried, and these tar
gets will vary according to the type of
ship attacked. SO much will depend
upon the first few minutes of close
action that if a commander could give
instructions to his different gun de-
tachments, before coming within close
range, as to the part of the ship upon
which they should direct their fire, it
might be of immense advantage to
him.
Before he can do this he must rec
ognize his enemy and every means
would no doubt be taken to discover
the identity of an opponent at the ear
liest possible moment.
Let us suppose the epemy's ship, or
at any rate the class to which she be-
longs, is known. Then if the captain
could turn to his notebook and find
prearranged plan of attack, suited to
her construction, he could at once tell
the guns crews what their target was
to be.
1t may be that duels between ships
will be of rare occurrence. and that
such actions as that of the Yalu will be
the most frequent where fleets viii
pass each other rapidly and where
such rules as I propose for discrim-
mating attack could not be put in prac-
tice. But is there not still the chance.

ENJOYMENT OF WALKING.
IntereHtins sights Of Great City--
A pleasure to a Pedestrian--A
Church Inscription.

"You are aware, !" said the quiet man,
"of my passion for strolling, ! don't
think any man evei enjoyed pedestri-
anism of quiet kind more than do.

ideas deduced from all he sees do not

or the more swiftly propelled steam

acquainted with my character to take
any stock in the professed theory of a
couple of humorous friends at the
lower end OF the table there that the
pleasure derive from walking, in a
large measure, comes from the knowl-
edge of having saved five cents.
Besides the good which walking
does my constitution and speculative
faculties, 1t also makes me very useful
in another way. lam perambulating

CORN FOR WINTER.
Various Ways of Preparing 1t for Use
During the Cold
Season.

There are two ways in which corn is
prepared in the household for use
which are eminently successful. 1t is
hardly wise for anyone to attempt to
can corn at home, as it requires to be
cooked with greater heat than boiling
water. Occasionally canned corn
keeps where it is put up at home, but
such cases are exceptional and not
the rule.
Old-fashioned dried corn was always
excellent, as is the hulled corn which
farmers prepare, when it is properly
made. We publish three rules fur
nished by correspondents. The follow
ing recipe is for drying sweet corn in
the old-fashioned manner: "The corn
should be taken when just suitable for
eating and boiled ten or fifteen min
utes-long enough to set the milk.
When cool take a sharp knife and cut
through every row of kernels (they
dry sooner and soak more easily when
used), then shave the corn off the cob,
spread it on plates near the stove or
in the heating closet and let it dry,
being careful not to let it brown. 1t
will dry in two or three days. Put the
corn in glass jars and it will keep for
two years. When you wish to use it
soak it in warm water for couple Of
hours, then boil in milk, adding little
butter.
A Pennsylvania housekeeper sends
the following recipes, which are slight
ly different: Select fresh ears when
they are sufficiently ripe for the table,
preferably those you can pick from
the stalk. Free them from husk and
silk, and then with thin -bladed knife
cut the grains from the cob. Spread
thinly on plates and put in moderate
" warm oven. Stir frequently until
dried 1t will require from "a to 8
hours to complete drying.
"Or with sharp knife, after prepar-
ing as before, split each row Of kernels
lengthwise of the ear and gently press
out the milky pulp. Spread on plates
and proceed as before. To be genuine,
old-fashioned dried corn It should be
prepared immediately after plucking
from the stalk, and never cooked be-
fore cutting from the cob. IN. 4.

Sad Plight, Did the Best

Eyes, stranger, hev he'd some purity

The latest newcomer at Timber
Gulch transferred his tobacco to the
other cheek, and, hitching up discon-
solate looking pair of trousers, con-
tinued ruminatingly:
"Ez wus a-sayin', hev he'd expert

That the spy sent by the United
States government to Spain dur
ing the war should have become
the guest of Weyler himself, seems
incredible. Yet there is nothing
more true. The government select
ed as its agent man of position
who has lived much in Germany.
It was necessary for us to have
a trained intellect that would
make no mistakes. His story is
told in the, November Cosmopoli-
tan, and the most exciting pages
of Dumas's fiction seem tame in
comparison with the facts.
Crossing the frontier in a tirst-class
carriage, he was by trifing ac-
cident brough to conversation
with young Spanish nobleman;
presently who should come along
but the son Of General Wey-
Ter. This acquaintance led to his
receiving many attentions from
Weyler when they reached Mad
rid, and the General actually gave
up day to trip to the Escurial.
Imagine this grim arch-enemy of
ours laying himself out to please
the secret agent whom the govern
ment had sent to find out the weak
places Of Spain. How trihing the
demarcation between the position
of honored guest and that of spy
who, if discovered, would have
been all the more quickly sent to
his death!
