Our Naval officers.


The war with Spain has caused a
great many changes among the officers
of the United States navy. At the be-
ginning of the year the rear admirals
on the active list were as follows:
w. A. Kirkland l.. A. Beardslee, Thom-
as O. Selfredge, Joseph N. Miller,
Montgomery Sicard and e. o. Mat
thews. Eevery one of these men
would have been retired before the
clos of the year by the age limit, ac-
cording to law. Beardslee and Sell
fridge were retired in February.
kirkland retired in July, but was con-
tinued in command of the Mare Is
land navy yard at San Francisco.
His death few days ago cut short
his very useful and active career.
Sicard would not have been retired un-
til September, but serious illness in
capacitated him for duty, and he was
displaced by Captain Sampson as
commander of the North Atlantic
squadron. Sampson was advanced
from the fourth place in the list Of
captains over the heads of three cap
tains and ten commodores Schley
was second on the list of captains and
ranked ahead of Sampson.
The comodores in the navy just pre-
vious to the outbreak of the war, were:
c. S. Norton, Francis NJ. Bunce, Fred
ericy V. McNair, John A. Howell,
George Dewey, H. L. Howison, Albert
Kantz, George c. Remey, N. H. Far
quhar and j. c. Watson. Dewey won
his promotion to a rear admiral's post
in the battle of Manila bay on May /.
Sampson and Schley were both pro-
NOTED to similar positions after the
battle of Santiago.
Other changes have been made, due
to retirement and promotions, so that
the official list of rear admirals, COM
modores and captains in the United
States navy at the present time stands
as follows:
Rear Admirals-Joseph N. Miller,
Montgomery Sicard. e. O. Mathews,

Calendar Of the War.

Here's a chance to contemplate
The merry war all rhymed to date;
On April twenty-hrst was made
The order or the great blockade,
The twenty-second, just next day,
The Sampson squadron sailed away
The twenty-third McKinley's call
For volunteers was heard by all.
Next day. old Spain declared for war,
And Dewey left Hong Kong afar.
The twenty-seventh, Blanco's pride,
The mule of famed Mantanza died.
Then May the first-it can't be hid
The day when noble Dewey did!
But on the ninth the land was chilled
When Bagley-frst to fall--was killed
But. ah. the nineteenth brought de-
light
Cevera's fleet was bottled tight.
The twenty-fifth to one and all
Rang out McKinley's second call;
And swiftly DER the ocean gray
Bold Dewey's succor sailed away.
On June the third the thunders crack
For Hobson sinks the Merrimac!
Upon the eighth with loyal hearts
The Shafter force for Cubastarts.
And on the 'leventh, hand to hand,
Our sailors whipped the Dons on land.
The twentieth, with thirst for gore
Stout Skaters army reaches the shore
The twenty-fourth rough riders fight
The twenty-sixth Camara's fleet
The entrance to Suez doth greet;
While Shafter, meantime, draweth
tight
The coils round Santiago's site.
The twenty-ninth with joyful hum
The transports to Manila come.
On June the last from Caney town
The quaking Spaniards scuttle down.
July the first the fight grows hot
Around the Santiago lot.
The San Juan before us falls,
All riddled were it's stubborn walls.
Upon the third rose Skaters cry:
Surrender all or surely die"
The selfsame day-joy unalloyed-
Cervera's squadron was destroyed.
Then on the seventh, Deweys band
Did capture far off Isla Grand;
While on the eighth Camara's fleet
Began towards home swift retreat.
Upon the tenth our guns lombard
Old Santiago good and hard;
Then on the fourteenth walls and
towers,
And Spanish troops and ALL are ours.
The seventeenth in native grace
Old Glory floats over the place.
The twenty-first sour Garica fiunks
And threatens soon to pack his trunks
The twenty-second starts a host
With Miles to Porto Rico's coast
The twenty-fifth this staunch COM
mand
At Guanica does safely land.
The twenty-sixth Spain sues for peace
And prays that fighting straigh.way
cease.

If the Spanish troops in Porto Rico
keep on killing the natives every time
anybody says "Dago" at them, it is
time for the United States to reopen
the war for about half an hour, and
give the disappointed Yankee volun-
teers chance to do what they went
to Porto Rico for.

Drying Clothes.

The drying Of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in the case of
delicate fabrics, attended with tearing
because Of the quick stiffening in the
very cold air. A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls of
coarse salt in the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact. weak brine.
Articles SO rinsed will not suffer from
or stiffen with the cold.

A Floral Season For Hats.

It is said that milliner, to be
success, needs quite as much artistic
taste as an artist, and we cannot
doubt the truth of this statement
when we look upon some of the top
heavy examples of the new millinery.
Hats literally loaded with flowers
stand out very conspicuously among
the few which are less pratentious,
and consequently in better taste. and
it is evident that this is to be floral
season in the department of head
gear. Some of the newest toques are
made entirely of flowers and leaves.
Fine flowers are used for the crown
and brim and roses with the leaves
wired into aigrettes for the high trim

and now she has returned to her native
town, Kin Kiang, on the Yangtse
River.
Her countrymen doubtless consider
her a new woman of the most advanced
type, and at first she will probably
have more time on her hands than
patients on her list.
Ida Kahn, M. D., is imbued with
the missionary spirit. Converted to
Christianity herself before she left
China, she hopes to be the means of
converting others.
She was much liked at the Ann Arbor
University, where she took the full
medical course. She spoke English
very we'll when she came to America,
and successfully passed the examina-
class Of medicine and surgery-an ex-
animation which required an English
essay, correct in spelling, punctuation,
capital letters, grammar and para
graphing, mathematics Il (arithmetic,
algebra and geometry, physics, ZOO
logy, history and Latin.
The medical course required inces-
SAINT and hard work. There were reci-
tations and lectures inssoesteology. en-
bryology and histology; operative,
minor and general surgery, practical
pathology, internal medicine and der
matology.
Ida Kahn not only gave her atten-
tion to these studies, but also went in
for bacteriology, electro-therapeutics,
and she became initiated in the mys-
teries of batteries, induction coils,
electrodes and other appliances and
made experiments in electro-physics
aud electro-physiology.
The charming oriental garb was only
worn by the maiden from the fowery
kingdom upon high days and holidays.
Upon ordinary occasions she dressed
like an American, style which she
liked so we'll that she intends to intro
duce some reforms in dress among her
| countrywomen.

Accommodating Mourners.

of the kindliness of the Arabs, Mr..

ness to oblige. was making sketch
of the village cemetery, and wanted
only funeral procession to complete
my study. I remarked to the old
man: ''What pity there does not
happen to be funeral going on, SO
that I might put it in!" His reply
took me by surprise; for, jumping up,
he said: "There is man ill in the
village, and he must die soon. I'll go
and hurry him" And, sure enough,
he bustled them all SO much that an
hour later my sketch was complete,
and the man safely inferred! And l
believe that the bereaved family con-
sidered themselves especially hon
ored by my interest in the ceremony!

Kitchen Rules.

The following measures of capacity
may be found useful to hang in the
kitchen for easy reference, says a
writer in Good Housekeeping:
Four even teaspoons of liquid equal
one even tablespoonful.
Three even teaspoonfuls of dry ma
terial equal one even tablespoonful.
Sixteen tablespoonfuls liquid equal
one cupful.
Twelve tablespoonfuls dry material
equal one cupful.
Two cupfuls equal one pint.
Four cupfuls equal one quart.
Four cupfuls -four equal one quart
or one pound.
Two cupfuls solid butter equal one
pound.
Two cupfuls granulated sugar equal
one pound.
Two and one-half cupfuls powdered
sugar equal one pound.
One pint milk or water equals one
pound.
One dozen eggs should weigh 1-2
pounds.
The following table of proportions
is also valuable:
One teaspoonful soda to one cupful
molasses.
One teaspoonful soda to one pint
sour milk.
Three teaspoonfuls baking powder
to one quart -four.
One-half cupful yeast or one-quar-
ter cake compressed yeast to one pint
liquid.
One teaspoonful extract to one loaf
plain cake
One teaspoonful salt to two quarts
-four
One teaspoonful salt to one quart
soup.
One scant cupful of liquid to three
full cupfuls of -four for mullins.
One scant cupful of liquid to two
full cupfuls of flour for batters.
Four peppercorns, four cloves, one
teaspoonful mixed herbs for each
quart of water for soup stock.

Homes of the Anthracite Miners.

A group of papers dealing with the
Pennsylvania Coal Regions appears in
the Century. Jay Hambidge gives
can Artists Impression of the Col
liery Region" Mr.. Hambidge says of
one of the patches" where the min
ers live: Each little house, with the
boxes, cuby-holes and fences about
it, has been built by the man who
lives in it. And he is laborer, a
struggler for mere existence, not deft
in the use of tools, nor with an eye for
the symmetrical, nor with an appreci-
alton for anything beyond the most
primal facts of living. The roofs of
the buildings slant at all angles, with
no two sides of the same length OF de-
Election. One portion will have caves,
while its companion will scorn the
luxury. The same incongruity pre-
walls everywhere. Some of the small
openings used for windows are high,
while others are low. One door will
open in, and another out. The hinges
have evidently come from the COM
pany scrap-pile, and the staples and
latches and locks from the same
source. Some Of the roofs have shin
giles, others weather boards, while
others are formed of great pieces of
rusty sheet-iron.

is still done by hand on some of the
vessels.
81 believe in the hand lift for am.
mum tion," says Rear Admiral Henry
Erben, ''because if you depend on
electricity the cutting or breaking of
a wire knocks you out, but if man is
cut in two you can put another in his
place."
A crew of sixteen men is required to
man each of the big guns, such as the
twelve-inch and thirteen-inch cannon
of the Iowa and Indiana. They are
divided into leaders, spongers, she'll
men, handspikemen, sidetacklemen,
intacklemen and porttacklemen, and
are under the direction of first and
second gun captain. There is also a
powderman, who delivers the charge
to the gun. fireman and a wreck
clearer.
The firing of a pivot or turret gun
requires ten separate commands. Most
of these explain themselves. They
are as follows:
1. Silence! Cast loose and provide!
2. Run in!

To Prepare suet.


To render suet for cooking purpos-
es, cut it into small pieces while fresh
and cover with cold water; let stand
"a hours, changing the water once
during the time; this removes the
tallowy taste. Drain well and put the
pieces into an iron kettle with
smooth bottom surface and add half
teacupful of milk to each pound of
suet. Let cook very slowly at first
and moderately throughout until the
fat is clear and light brown and all
sound of cooking has ceased. Loosen
the suet occasionally from the bottom
of the kettle, but avoid stirring. Let
stand until partly cold, then pour off
into cups to become cold. This fat is
as sweet and nice as butter and can
be used in the place of butter for
cooking purposes. The fat in the
''scraps" can be pressed out and used
for frying. 1t is not, of course, quite
as nice as the first. When making
piecrust of suet roll the crust with a
large, old-fashioned bottle filled with
warm water. For mince, apple
or pumpkin pies, which are warmed
for the table, suet is a perfect short
ening. 1t is very nice for frying
doughnuts if they are heated before
being served. Sarah E. Wilcox, in
New England Homestead.
