ferrsble Coast Defense Gun.

with the exception Of the ponderous
16-inch gun now In course of construc-
tion at Watervliet arsenal. the largest
OF our great coast-defense guns, as
adopted by the army, is thirty-two feet
in length and weighs 127, $50 pounds,
says Godey's. With a charge of 4S0
pounds Of powder, producing upon ex-
plosion . pressure of $4,000 pounds to
the square inch, this gun can hurl a
steel projectile Of 1000 pounds weight
q distance Of ten miles. This huge

miles could pass completely through

suits, complete destruction. At a
range of from I'VE to eight miles the
destruction that would be wrought by
. steel shell filed with eighty pounds
OF high explosives and fired from one
OF these guns upon striking a vessel is
beyond conception. As to the accur-
acy OF these heavy guns, an example
may be given where, at some recent
firinxs, the projectiles passed consec-
utively through the same hole made
by the first projectile upon impact
with the target, at range of about
two miles.
These guns are mounted generally
upon the United States disappearing
carriage. invented by two army off,
GERS. which is considered superior to
any carriage adopted abroad and holds
the record of the world for speed OF
firing. With a 10-inch gun mounted
on one of these carriages. requiring the
handling Of $50 pounds of powder and
an 500 pound projectile for each round.
a record of ten rounds in fourteen min
utes and forty-two seconds was made.
These guns are also steel-hooped and
requires the same accuracy Of manu-
facture as the 8. 10 and 12-inch cannon.
For offensive purposes the navy ves-
sci is of vital importance. but for the

Egg Fritters.

set them aside in cold water, then shell,
and cut into long pieces, like the quar-
tiers of an orange. Let them lie in q
salad composed of one tablespoon of
salad oil, the same of vinegar, half
teaspoon chopped parsley, and the
same quantity of minced onion. Let
the slices lie in it for 20 minutes; pre-
pare some frying batter by mixing q
teaspoon of salt with quarter of q
pound of flour. Stir smoothly in pint
of tepid water, to which you have added
a teaspoon of salad oil or oiled butter.
or of dripping. Beat the white of an
egg very stiff, and add lightly, and at
the last, to the batter. Now lift sep
arately the quarters of the eggs in q
tablespoon first dipping the spoon in
the battery, then immense the whole.
Slide egg and batter gently into boil
ing fat and fry golden brown. Serve
quickly, piling up on lace paper, and
sprinkle literally with salt. The dish
is quickly made, and inexpensive, the
materials are available in most larders
on the shortest notice, and the fritters
form useful addition to the menu
when an unexpected guest drops in,
and only sufficient had previously been

for 40 years, and he still fulflls that
function. The church, in kindly ap-

will commemorate his services after he
has gone to the land O. the leal.

His great learning is conceded, and his
lovable nature enshrines him in the
hearts of the people. Therefore his ut
terances of the truth fall upon the
hearts which love him, as good seed on
fertile soil. The young people love
him, and therefore the conversions have
been exceptionally large under his min

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
1t Should Be Carefully Prepared and
Daintily Served.

In cooking for the sick moderate
heat is necessary to bring out and in
:tensify, rather than destroy or keep
within the delicate flavorings of the ma
terials used. Where receipts call for
butter it must be added to hot dishes
after they have been taken from the fire.
All fried things must be avoided.
Gruels, or semi-starchy foods require
long, slow cooking. Meats must be
cooked, but not overdone. Under no
circumstances should raw meats, raw
beef juice or raw beef tea be used. Pas
teurization is necessary to remove the
danger of disease germs.
Serve hot foods hot; cold foods cold.
This does not mean the extreme of
either.
In arranging the tray keep every
thing as dainty as possible, using white
or very pale colors. A simple vase of
flowers, with not too decided an odor,
will prove an added attraction. Roses,
,iolets, lilies of the valley or bouvardias
are advisable for their daintiness and
absence of heavy odor.-Mrs. 8. T.
Rorer, in Ladies' Home Journal.

HEALTH DON'TS.

Don't sleep in the same fannels that
you wear during the day.
Don't keep the sun out of your living
and sleeping-rooms. Sunlight is abso-
lutely necessary for right condition of
the atmosphere'that we breathe and for
our bodily well-being.I s..s+ J.,
Don't neglect your house drains nor
the drainage about your house. The
first condition of family health is dry
and sweet atmosphere. With dry walls,
a dry cellar and drains that carry off
refuse without letting in foul gases,
half the battle for good health5is won.
Pure drinking water is indispensable
for health at home or anywhere.
Don't catch cold. Catching cold is
much more preventable than is gener-
ally supposed. A person in good phys
ical condition is not liable to colds and
will not fall victim to them unless
he is grossly careless. Keep the feet
warm and dry, the head cool, the bowels
and chest well protected; avoid expos
ure with an empty stomach; take care
not to cool off too rapid when heated:
keep out Of draughts !; wear fannels;
andwith the exercise Of "a little common
sense in various emery encies colds will
be rare. Phrenolo gica1 Journal.

I have frequently heard this reason

tired Of hearing it. It is-in2 way
discouraging, for have we not all gifts

that is applicable in many ways.
Many people who lack energy and
perseverance are all too ready to give,
as an excuse for their own failures, this
reason that they have not been blessed
with the gifts that others seem to pos
sess. While this may be true, in part,
it tends to false idea of talents be-
slowed, and it may be that these same
people have just such gifts themselves,
lying dormant because they have failed
to cultivate them.

The Baltimore conference is regard
ed as the richest conference in Amer
lean Methodism. The recent confer.
ence in this city was presided over BY
Bishop Merrill, and while the preach,
ers were here many of them attended
services in the new Dumbarton Avenue
church.. Bishop Merrill was there one
evening, and made a short address, and
Bishop Hurst also spoke to the young
people OF this old church.
There is great rivalry in Dumbartor
between the Ladies' Home Missionary
society and the Ladies' Foreign Mission
airy society. Both of them raise more
money annually than the Ladies' Mite
society, and their accumulations are
approximately even. In this church, az
we'll as in many others, the people seem
gradually to be losing interest in for
eign missions. There are so many
heather in our own country, particu
larly in our greater cities, they say, thai
it is regarded as misdirection of ener
gy to send money to heather in whom
we have only a secondary interest.
Because of the growth of this feeling
which some call purely selfish, the la
dies of the foreign missionary societ,
have hard time of it. But they kee1
bravely at work, and give entertain
ments constantly, which help to swell
their funds. They claim that during
the coming year they will raise more
money for foreign missions than any

At CHICKAMAUGA CAMP.
Five Deaths Is the Present Daily Average
In Each of the Division
Hospitals.

Chickamauga Park, Aug 8.-The i'm
provement of the sanitary condition OF
the regimental camps is the one alb
sorbing matter at the camp now. Def
mite plans VIII have to be formulated
within day or two, after which time
the management of the camp will be
under new and very rigid regulations
as regards the disposition of garbage
and refuse matter and the preparation
and serving of food. All drinking
water will be boiled and the regulation
is one that VIII not be deviated from In
the future. Another condition, it is
hoped to bring about as early as possi-
BILE, Is that of having the tents Of all
the men provided with board floors.
With the still further purpose Of
adding to the health conditions, prac-
tice marches are being arranged. On
Thursday of this week the engineer Of
flcers of all the divisions will go out to
locate the most practical routes for
these marches. and the regiments will
be sent later by brlgades in heavy
marching order for a four days alb
sence from the park. The march will
cover about 60 miles going and COM
ing and the men will occupy shelter
tents at night. Numerous furloughs
are being granted convalescents in ac-
cordance with the recent order to al
low patients recovering from serious III
ness 30 days furlOugh and transporta-
ton home.
Trained nurses are badly needed here
in the camp hospitals. Five Ceaths is
the present daily average in each of the
division hospitals. In the Second di-
vision there are 200 patients lying very
i'll and not enough attendants to care
for them properly. Men are dying ev-
cry day who might have been restored
to health with proper care and treat
ment.
