be disbanded. and all the twenty-nine
vessels of various types attached to it

Army Cooks.

At the beginning of this war the
United States followed the rule of other
nations in regard to the selection of
army cooks. Men were detailed from
the ranks to serve in this capacity,
without authority. increase of pay. or
previous experience. Professional coz ks
seldom enlist in the army. Most of
them are making good wages where
they are. and many are foreigners who
feel no especial interest in the fortunes
Of this country Very, very few of the
company cooks Of the volunteer army
have ever gone much further in the art
Of cookery than to boil an egg or fry
trout over a camp fire.
When this state Of things became ap-
parent, bill Was introduced IN Con-
The evening times., 1898-07-19

gress. and hasspow become q law. pro-
viding that army cooks - enlisted as
such. and given the rank a1l pay Of
corporals.
1t has very sensibly been said that
men are not detailed from the ranks to
serve as musicians, physicians aids.
hospital stewards or paymasters, but
are appointed for special fitness, and
that 1t should be SO with the cooks.
Trouble in securing and distributing
supplies seems to have passed away,
but there is still much room for i'm
provement in the way Of preparing the
rations. The American male cook Is
capable creature, and has adapted
himself to his new profession with as
much alacrity and grace as any other
man would probably show in like con-
ditions- All the same. cooking is not
to be learned in a day. While here and
there is man with what old-fashioned
people call faculty" who turns out
stews, and fries, and boiled dishes
which are the delight Of his mess and
the envy Of all others within smelling
distance. he is the exception. And 1t
makes an enormous difference. not only
in the happiness. but the health, Of the
men, whether their food passes through
the hands of a competent chef or not.
Tropical fruit is a dangerous article of
diet when eaten raw but almost any
fruit is digestible when properly cook
ed. and II is a very useful addition to
the bill of fare. Heretofore, however,
the job of company cook has been one
which most men regarded with dislike.
because they could not cook well, and
have, therefore. been targets Of COM
plants from their comrades. But men
enlisted as cooks. with previous ex-
perience. will have pride in their work
and be able to devote their entire time
to 1t.
The advantage of giving the army
cook the rank of corporal is less ap-
parent, but nevertheless real. With
this rank he will be enabled to give his
attention to cooking. without being call
ed away from his fire to do something
else. He can keep the men from crowd
ing about his place of business, and
nibbling raw material out of his boxes.
He has thus far had to depend on moral
suasion to prevent these things, and all
men cannot exercise that influence.
Last, but not least, he will call on pri-
vate soldiers for help If he needs it,
without going through the form of ask
ing a commissioned officer to order a
corporal to send him a man to bring
water or firewOod. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the water is at some distance
from the camp, and it is manifestly i'm
possible for the cook to have his viands
ready in double-quick time If he has to
act as newer of wood and drawer of
water.
This idea is a new one, and has not
been carried out in any other army
since the world began, but that need
not hinder it. We Americans seem to
be creating traditions and establishing
precedents whenever We engage in war,
and this precedent seems to be a par
ticularly good one. In some future con-
fiict We may win victories of tremen-
dous significance, just because our men
will be better fed than those OF the
enemy.

Smallest Estate Ever Recorded.

From the New York Herald.)
The orphans court, of Philadelphia. the other
day disposed of the smallest estate ever re-
corded in the Quaker City, and probably the
smallest on record anywhere. When Mary Pratt
passed through the vale Of tears in April 1897,
she. in common with the rest Of humanity, was
not permitted to carry her earthly possessions
with her. So she left behind the sum of g. 80
to comfort the bereaved Great bodies move
slowly. particularly in Philadelphia. and it was
not until last week that the estate Of Mary
Pratt came up for probate. The account of the
administrator Of the estate was adjudicated by
Judge Hanna with all the formality and pomp
that usually accompanies such procedures. Al
though the total value of the estate was hut
s. 80, there were numerous bequests. 4 brother
was awarded 81 cents and sister S. cents. Then
there were q half-dozen nephews and nieces who
clamored for their share They got IA cents
each. Another niece, more favored than the
Others received the munfcent heritage of I3
cents to keep the gaunt wolf Of poverty from
the porte cochere. A like sum went to a niece,
through her guardian, who will have to make
his formal report back to the court as to his
care of the heavy trust imposed upon him.
