Military Cabinet.

A special from London, says:
The Madrid correspondent OF
the Times, telegraphing Mon
day, says:
"Senor Sagasta went to the
palace today and rendered his
resignation, and that of the
Cabinet. 1t is said that he adj
vised the Queen Regent to ap-
point a new Cabinet, largely
consisting Of the military e!e>
ment. which would not neces-
sarily mean the adoption OF a
warlike policy, but probably the
reverse.
"It is generally expected that
the resignation may possibly be
merely partial reconstruction
Of the Cabinet. The Ministers
are now in courc:l, and Senior
Sagasta has doubtless commune
Gated to them an account Of his
audience with the Queen Re

To the officers in the coming tower and
in the turret falls the task of determin-
ing the ranges. This Is usually done by
the officers on board the flagship and
communicated to the officers on board
the other ships by means Of signals.
From them the gunner in the turret gets
his angle and by means Of lever and
scale elevates or depresses his gun as his
orders may require.
Then comes the task which he alone
may perform. Attached to his gun, near
the breech, is powerful telescope, fitted
at the outer lens with horizontal and a
vertical hair crossing at right angles in
the centre. Through this he locates his
mark, and having done so knows that his
aim Is true.
In spite Of the exactness of the science
it is necessary under unfavorable atmos-
pheric conditions, such as fog or rain, to
resort to the old method of trail shots.
A smaller gun is used and by means of a
range finder attached to its breech the
range can soon be determined.
Then the gunner applies the knowledge
which has given him his rank, and
science does what the greatest skill of
the old days could not.
On the wooden ships with the bristling
sides the process was entirely different
The gunner though far inferior to ours of
toe day had under his charge guns num-
boring from four to eight, varying with
the size and strength of his vessel, and
by force of circumstances left the task of
aiming them to the ordinary sailor, who,
though without rank, was often in point
Of skill the equal of his chief.
The long range shot of the new guns,
the one which enables the gunners nova
days to watch the course of the proiec
tile and note the havoc it creates even
at a distance of several miles, was i'm
practicable because of the small power
of the old smooth bore. The close blank
shot and The broadside We're he ones upon
which the old gunner counted for vic
tory. Without the aid of science he
sighted his cumbersome piece, while his
crew stood ready with ramrod, swab,
powder and shot. Minutes were con-
sumed in the execution of the orders.
LOAD. To battery! Fire!" while now
each order is expected to be executed in a
few seconds.
While ten shots whistled harmlessly
about the ears Of the enemy then, the
modern gunner feels his disgrace keenly
if by chance, in an engagement, one or
two shots miss the mark.
The old gunner who, as an ordinary sea-
man, still remains in the service of the
modern navy has learned long since that
his time has passed, and as a naval writer
has said Of him, she resents the suprem-
acy of the sailor who knows the art OF war
as thoroughly as his officers know its
why

School That Began At Noon.

Tho Three RS at Circle City" Is the
subject Of paper by Miss Anna Fulcomor
in The Century. The author says:
During the short winter days 1t would
often be noon before all the children put
in an appearance. When l arrived at 8
O'Clock, it would either be dark or brill
liant moonlight. Smoke might be seen
lazily rising from four or five cabins out
of the 400 or 500. l would light one lamp
and wait. BY 10 O'Clock few children
would struggle sleepily in just as the day
began to dawn. By II o'clock, shortly
after sunrise, the majority Of the children
were at school, some coming without their
breakfasts. By half past IL all who were
coming that day would have appeared.
1t was hard to get up before daylight on
those cold, dark mornings. often used
to wish that l was one of the little girls,
so that l, too might sleep until daylight.
No one in camp pretended to get up early
unless there was some special work on
hand which must be done. AS l was GO
ing homo to my lunch at noon friends
would sometimes call out to me: Good
morningl Come in and have some break
fast. We have fine moose steak and hot
cakes" On Saturdays and Sundays l
lived and slept as did other people Even
when one did not sit up later at night
than 10 or half past 1t required an effort
to rise before daylight. There is some
thing in the air and in the manner of life
which makes one sleepy. As the days
heightened the children came earlier to
school

Regarding the express tax. n. B. Scott,

Regarding the express tax. n. B. Scott,
commissioner OF internal revenue, says:
In my opinion, 1t was the intention of Con
gress to place the stamp tax required for bills
of lading and receipts issued by railroad and
express companies and carriers generally upon
the companies or corporations and not upon the
shipper. If the carriers are contesting the
matter and are refusing goods offered for trans
portation, except upon condition of the pay
ment by the shipper of the price of the stamp,
the internal revenue laws afford no remedy.
Whether the laws prescribing the obligations
Of common carriers, Il appealed to- would af-
ford a remedy, is a question for the courts to
decide.

work of the great organizations which
further large enterprises, and many
minor associations are formed with the

add to their kits when going away for

offers. The little housewife shown in

as they do, of wooden pipe and a
small pouch of tobacco. This pocket is
four inches and half deep, with the

SALUTES ON A WARSHIP.
Arc All Fired Between Sunset and
Sunrise and None Exceed
Twenty-One Guns.

No salute exceeds 81 guns, and no sa-
lutte is ever fired except between SUM-
rise and sunset, when the national COL
ors must be displayed; but it is also
usual not to fire salutes before eight
a. m. Whenever the president is en-
barked in a ship-of-war flying his flag,
all other United States ships-of-war
and naval stations near which he
passes will fire the national salute.
Side-boys are detailed usually from
the apprentice boys. They stand each
side of the gangway in line and salute
by touching their caps as visiting Of
flcials come on board or leave. Com
missioned officers board and leave q
ship by the starboard gangway. War
rant officers, naval cadets and enlisted
men use the port gangway.
After nightfall all boats coming close
to the ship are hailed by the marine
sentry or by the quartermaster with
the words: "Boat ahoy!" A flag off,
Ger answers: Flag" a commanding
officer answers the name of his ship;
other commissioned officers answer:
AYE, aye;" warrant officers and naval
cadets answer: mo, no." while en-
listed men answer: "Hello!"
Every officer and man on reaching
the upper deck salutes the national
flag, and this salute is returned by tho
officer of the watch on board.
Flag officers are addressed by their
titles of admiral or commodore; cap
tains and commanding officers are
called "captain;" all other officers are
called "Mr.," and not by their official
titles, though in addressing them in
writing these titles are always used.
The surgeons, however, are usually
called Doctor" and paymasters of
any grade "paymaster."
Boat salutes are given by tossing
oars, which means holding them up
right in the air with the blades fore
and aft, or by lying on oars, by which
is meant holding the oars horizontal
as they rest in the rowlocks. Cox
SWANS of boats stand and salute when
passing boats containing officers. All
officers and men, whether in uniform
or not, meeting a senior afoat or
ashore, salute by touching the cap.
When a ship of the navy enters q
port of any nation where there is a
tort or battery, or where a ship-of-
war of that nation may be lying, she
shall fire a salute of p guns, provided
the captain is satisfied that the salute
will be returned. The flag of the ma
ton saluted will be displayed at the
main during the salute.
National airs of foreign states hav-
ing war vessels ip company with our
own will be played by our bands.
