A or1entous Court martial.

A decision that may have far reaching
effect upon the service Of the United
States marines, and, ii fact, upon all
those who bear arms for their country's
sake was made at a court martial held at
the League Island Navy Yard, Philadel-
phia, one late day, This was the case;
A corporal was assigned to the beat
outside an officer house. While march
ing up and down the beat the corporal
attracted the attention of a serving maid
in the house, who, either through a spon-
taneous and irresistible influence, or
through arrangement made beforehand,
joined the corporal. While the corpor-
al, with his gun upon one arm and the
serving maid upon the other, stood on his
beat, brayely and happily, he was met
suddenly by the officer. Venus retreated
but Achilles held his ground, and in the
end charges of disorderly conduct and
neglect of duty were preferred against the
corporal by the officer. The court mar
tial met and dwelt upon the following
questions:
L. Was it unsoldierly for the corporal
to make love while on guard?
2. Was the corporal protecting public
OF private property in standing guard be-
fore an officers residence?
3. Can a soldier at one and at the same
time keep bis arm around girl and h is
eye on the property that he has been
charged to guard?
The court martial appears to have DELHI
Grated soiemnly. At the end Of the de-
liberation it returned the verdict of mot
guilty. on all the charges and specifica-
tions. This report was signed and sealed
and forwarded to the Navy Department,
where Secretary Long, whose amiability is
famous, approved it and ordered that the
corporal be restored to duty
The verdict, as We said, may have a far
reaching effect The verdict means that
making love and keeping guard are not
incompatible. 1t remains to be discover
ed whether every other corporal is SO for
tunately situated as the corporal at the
League Island Navy Yard.

The Reina Mercedes.

The conclusion reached by the Navy
Department that the repairs to the captur-
ed Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes shall
be only such as is necessary to keep her
atoat in her present battered condition
as relic OF the war with Spain, is an
emlnently proper one. 1t has been de-
clded to keep this vessel as show ship,
an object lesson in modern naval warfare,
that the humblest citizen of the United
States may witness shot riddled hull. as
there are few that did not contribute some
aid to bring about the satisfactory result
of the war if only by patriotism in speech
or thought. Opportunities should be
made by the government to give those
who live i'll the interior an opportunity to
see what is being done in sea coast States
for their protection against a foreign foe.
True, they can read about it, but that is
not as convincing as to see some of the
great ships and Notifications that have
been constructed in recent years. Every
one must have more or less curiosity to
see this famous Spanish cruiser whose
career was ended on July ;, 1898, by the
shot and shell of our ADLER and better
manned ships.
1t is reported that the Rena Mercedes
will be sent to the different seaport cities
loi Inspection ny lhe people, so tnat they
may see what havoc the ships that were
furnished the government out of the public
funds had made of her. We are of those
who believe that ignorance of the condi-
tons of our navy and merchant marine
by those in Congress who never came in
contact with either, has had much to do
with causing the delay in building up this
important branch of the government and
this valuable maritime industry. ''To
see, is to believe The situation and
size of our country are such that we do
not need vast army, as long as we have
strong navy to protect our coast 1.-THE

Night Sounds OF the Camp.

For some time l lay in my swinging bed
listening to many sounds which would be
unnoticed during the day. Now and
then an insect buzzed through the dark
ness, ticking against hair-iike twigs in its
flight and striking some broad leaf with
sounding spat. One big beetle hummed
past my nose, and my ear followed his
lessening drone far out over the water.
just when the sound had dwindled to the
whisper of a trembling wire, there came
a loud flip tlap-splash, and | guessed
that some lusty bass had gathered in the
beetle. Other fish leaped at intervals,
and their quick, noisy splashes were al
most restful 1t was the cont nuous
queer little half-noises; the whispers OF
cravings, c"eepings and droppings; the
intinitesimal leapings and racings that
took place within the arena of one green
leaf, which taxed ears and nerves to the
strainng point.
A faint rustling from below caught my
cara velvety, sliding, insidious sound,
Low as if from grass, again soft disturb
ance of dry, rafting atoms. 1t seemed to
pass from one side to the other, to cross
beneath the hammock, to pause like
glide slowly on. In my mind | could see
tn trim garter snake hunting a quarry
Now he is on the path waiting with raised
head, sparkling eyes and darting tongue
an illustration of sensitive alertness.
Now he moves on again, trailing his
graceful length smoothly over the sand :;
now his blunt nose is within an inch of
the grass-now he'll rustic. A rafting,
apparently like bull moses plunge
through cover proves that the snake has
entered the grass on the instant when the
mental chart shows that he should.
Then came a relief-a noise, a welcome,
| ume it compared with the vague rustlings
and whisperings as gunshot would com
pare with the click of a breaking match.
A soft, purrng cluck -cluck prepared my
ear for what was coming, and there was
nothing startling or jaring in the rich,
whistling cry. Somewhere within TWEEN
ty feet of my head a whip poor-will was
bowling and putting his great throat as be
sobbed out his well-known appeal. An
other and another took up the cry, till q
whisper of it came from far up the river.

Kitchen Hints.

To clean a spice mill, grind handful
of raw rice.
A special broom should be kept for the
kitche u and pavements.
A whisk broom is just the thing to
clean a horseradish CRATER.
Stone Jars are better than tin boxes for
keeping bread during hot weather.
Wood ashes put in wooden bag and
placed in the water will make hard water
soft.
Pickles or vinegar will not keep in jar
that has ever had any kind of grease kept
in it.
Put little household ammonia on rag
and clean off the rolls of ringer before
putting it away.
If the ceiling becomes smoked from
lamp, wash off the blackened surface with
little weak soda water.
Drain pipes should be cleaned regularly
at least once week with lime water, car
bolic acid or chloride of lime.
Clam shells are more convenient for
scraping pots and kettles than knife, re-
curing less time to remove the burnt sur
faces.
Lamp chimneys may be quickly cleaned
by rubbing them with clean, soft cloth
and polishing them with piece Of news
paper.
If grease is spilled on the kitchen floor
or table, cold water poured On it at once
will prevent the spot from soaking into
the wood.
Grease stains can be removed from mat
ting by first wetting them with alcohol
and then washing them with suds made
from white CASTLE soap.
A tablespoonful of kerosene added to
the boiler when scalding clothes will help
to whiten them, and will not leave the
slightest odor after rinsing and drying.
A scorch mark, if not too heavy, may be
removed by moistening with water and
laying in the sun. Repeat the moistening
two or three times until the spot disap-
pears.
