Government Buys More Coal.

Cleveland, O., March 1O.-Kirk
Woods & Co., of this city, today
closed a contract with government
officials for 25O,OOO tons of coal to
be rushed to Key West.
"The orders we received from gov
ernment representatives were to
rush the coal forward with all pos.
sible speed, said Mr.. Kirk today.
''They allow us but very short
time for the delivery of the coal
and offer large bonus if we deliver
it before the time agreed upon.
Especial arrangements have been
made by the government with the
railroads to have this coal rushed
through to Key West as fast as it is
mined. The trains conveying the
coal will carry no other merchan-
disc, thus avoiding the delay of
stopping at intermediate points to
leave cars"

A Sailor by the Name of Boslwick
Writes a Letter Detailing the
Situation at Dry Tortugas.

Walter Bostwick of Detroit, Mich
igan, has received a letter written
by his brother who is a sailor on the
Indiana, and he makes the follow
ing statement:
1--WE are keeping battle watches
aboard the ship and a sharp lookout
against surprises from torpedo
boats. Our men sleep at their guns
every night, and are expecting or
ders daily to paint the vessel a sea
green from stern to stern" He
adds, I'VE are severely drilled daily,
and are auxiously waiting orders to
sail against Spain.
Secretary long is looking over the
list of material he has on hand to
assign officers to the auxiliary
| squadron. He is also looking after
the enlistment of men to mann
these ships.
Commander Hawley has left
Washington for New Orleans to
open an Office for the enlistment of
marines or men who have sailed the
sea.
There is a moye on foot to arm
merchant vessels, and equip them
for immediate action.
The navy has full supply of au-
tomobile torpedo on hand and is re-
ported in good shape for action.
Sixty-one seamen arrived at the
navy yard to-day tor the two IRON
cIads. Ammunition will be placed
on these ships Immediately.
This was the busiest day the navy
yard has experienced since the pres
ent activity was inaugurated. The
regular force of the navy yard to-
day proved inadequate for the work
on hand and sixty men we're sent
there from Cramps ship yard.
The cruiser Columbia, which is in
dry dock, is having her bottom

The Minneapolis, which was in dry

row.

Signs of Longevity.

The primary conditions of longev-
ity are that the heart, lung and
digestive organs, as well as the
brain, should be large. If these
organs are large, the trunk will be
long and the limbs comparatively
short. The person will appear tall
in sitting and short in standing.
The hand will have a long and
somewhat heavy palm and short
fingers. The brain will be deeply
seated, as shown the orifice of the
ear being low. The blue hazel OF
brown hazel eye is favorable indi
cation. The nostrils beng large
open and free, indicates large lungs
A pinched and half closed notrili
indicates small and weak lungs, =

There is some talk OF joining a
base ball league here. 1t takes
money to play ball, as those who
tackled the management of the
club last season learned. We like
ball, but it is an expensive luxury
we can better get along without
than we can with. We, however,
oppose no objection to the league
being formed, but we would like to
say that a ball team here without
money to pay salaries every week
would be very unsatisfactory not
only to the members of the club,
but the citizens who patronize the
game.

A seasonable and delicious way Of
serving ice-cold raw tomatoes is to re-
move the inside of the fruit, leaving
thick wall. Take out the seeds, and to
the pulp add equal parts of dry mustard
and brown sugar, little salt, pepper
sauce and vinegar. Stir the mixture
into paste and refill the tomato.
Do not put hot water or any kind Of
water upon woollens that have had
liquid grease spilled upon them. First
sprinkle buckwheat or rye -four over
the place and let it absorb the grease,
brush off the -four, and apply then
fresh flour until all the grease is abb
sorbed.
An excellent receptacle to be placed
in q corner of a sewing-room for hold

O common -four barrel. Cover the bar
rel with pretty cretonne or chintz,
plating the material and tacking it
upon the inside of the barrel and at
the top, drawing each plait smoothly
down. Fasten the plaits to the under
side Of the barrel. Paste heavy brown
wrapping paper inside the barrel to
make q smooth lining. Lay sheet Of
wadding over the barrel top and cover
both sides with the cretonne, overhaul
ing the material together at the edge
Make a box plating little more than
o finger in width and sew around to
cover the edge. Fasten this cover to
the barrel with two pieces of tape to
serve for hinges, and place a bow OF
ribbon upon the top to make handle
for lifting the cover. The barrel will
ft into corner and be most conven-
lent.

Fishing pories.

The american fishing-vesse,s are
schooners. You can tell them by the
dories which, when not in use. are
"nested'-set one inside the other-on
deck. An ordinary ships boat usual
ly has ring in the bow and stern, into
which the ropes by which It is hoisted
aboard are hooked. A dory, however,
has long eye in the painter (the rope
at the bowl, and in the stern a "becket"
Ia loop formed by passing q rope
through two holes There are five
dories to the average fishing vessel, and
two men to dory, besides the captain
and the cook, who remain aboard while
the dories are out. The first thing the
dories do Is to "run their gear"-set
their travis. A trawl Is line. about 6
mile long. from which 1000 hooks hang
by smaller lines. At each end Of the
trawl is keg-foat. The kegs Of DIFF
ferent vessels are identified by dis
tinctive little flags, and marked with
the vessels name. The kegs are an
chored. and that part of the line to
which hooks are attached rests on the
bottom. On forenoon in fine weather
the dories will "under-run" the travis
will begin taking them up at one end.
and as fast as they take a fish OF the
hook, will rebait and throw the line
over, hook by hook. But in the evening
they take up the entire trawl, return
with 1t to the vessel, bait up aboard, and
set the trawl again.-Gustav Kobbe. In

Most game birds and animals, be-
cause of life of ceaseless activity, do
not take on fat, and such should be
larded or cooked with slices of bacon
or salt pork placed on them. Do not
serve birds with heads on and undrawn,
as is quite generally practiced-the
latter point being relic of savagery.
