Washington, April H. Preparations
are making for an extensive and i'm
poi tant test OF field guns at Sandy
Hook some Tins in May. at present,
the army is not we'll equipped with
field guns, compared with other nations,
and the War Department wishes to
obtain the very best guns possible for
the equipment Of this important branch
of the service.
The tests at Sandy Hook will be
under the direction of the Board of
Ordnance and Fortificaticns, composed
of Lieut., Gen. Miles, commanding the
army; Gen. Wilson, chief Of engineers ;
Gen. Burlington, chief of ordnance !;
Col. Rodgers, artillery corps; Col
Randolph, chief of artillery; ex-
Representative Henderson, the civilian
member of the board, and two artillery
officers yet to be assigned to the board.
The board not onh will test such
guns as may be presented by manu-
faoturers and inventors, but 1t is ex-
pected that the new gun modelled on the
plan of the French field gun and con
structed under the direction of the
Board of Ordinances and Qualifications
will be tested. The plans for this gun
we're obtained by IN army officer who
was sent abroad last summer, and who
claimed TO have secured complete de-
tails of this gun, which artillery experts
have asserted Is the best in tine world.
The mechanism of this gun has been
concealed and Its secret carefully
guarded by the French government.
The report that the United States army
had obtained the plans OF the French
gun caused considerable comment at
the time it was made public, and since
then the procedure Of the Department
with references to the gun has been
watched with interest by ordinance
experts. The French govern ment has
not guarded moro carefully the me-
chanism of IT'S gun than the Board Of
Ordnance has the making OF the new
field gun which Is expected to be tested
| in May.

Communicated.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Society for ths Prevention OF Cruelty
to Children on Tuesday week there
was good attendance. The Iublica-
ton of the annual report has, in the
hands of the membership committee,
been instrumental in enlistipg support
for the society and 10 securing II ad
ditional members. r.
The report OF Special Agent Stout
showed unwavering interest and zeal
in the investigation of all cases re-
ported to him. OF the 81 gases reported
during the past month, every enc re-
ceived its full share OF attention. The
case OF Josephine DOMAIN, the little
colored girl of years OF age who, 1t is
alleged, was rendered blind by her
fathers brutality, lie still wildly In
mind, owing to the revival Of interest
in her case. For time ward Of the
Associated Charities, she was finally
plnoed in the almshouse, as our State
is not provided with an institution in
which to place 1aildren devoid of any
of their faculties. By the assage of
an act In the last Legislature the State
is In possession OF an appropi iation,
out of which 1T may support, In suita-
BILE institutions outside of the State,
those who belong TO the defective or the
dependent classes, Josephine DOMAIN,
| therefore, becomes the first beneficiary
under this act and a few days ago
| Special Agent Stout took her to the
Overlook Institution for the Blind,
where she was at once entered in the
kindergarten department. The over
brook Institution will receive from our
State s265 annually, for the maintenance
and care of tho child whom we have
entrusted to its care, and will endeavor
10 develop in her habits Of self-help.
One OF the most atrooious crimes
against a child was recently brought te
the notice OF our agent. A mother
q white woman-In a ht of anger hat
placed her one year and half old CIR
baby onya stove. "Thrre was not muct
fire IN the stove at the time, she said
in extepuation Of her act. The chile
was, by her own admission, entirely
unprotected by any covering when thu
mother put hei on the stove aud sever,
hurns were the result. Although tn,
discovery was made in Wilmington
the CRIME itself was committed il
Pennsy lvania. d. Upon learning this, Mr.
l
the Philadelphia society, before whiol
it is still pending. il is to be hopet
that there will be no miscarriage o
justice in this case.
Are the society's efforts appreciate,
or must it Ee satisfied to follow virtu
for its own reward A letter which j
on file in the society's rooms furnishe
testimony to support the claim that it
efforts do not go unappreciated. Tn
letter arose from the restoration to thei
homes, by our souiety's agent, OF tw
runaway hoys and the letter is the OK
preston of the gratitude OF the tw
mothers for their return.
Many other cases might be cited i
which, by oheying the instincts c
humanity, our society safeguards tn
interests of the children in this State
truly, we should rejoice that 9. sooiet
exists which turns sympathetic and
responsive ear to the .cry OF the chi
dren.

about couple Of ounces of butter, and
shake il over moderate fire until il
begins to brown; -four the veal well all

II Is of fine, equal light brown, pour
gradually in veal broth, gravy, or boil

little salt, one or two sliced carrots, a
small onion, or more when the flavor is
much liked, and bunch of parsley;
stew the veal very softly for an hour
or more; then turn it, and let it stew for
nearly or quite another hour, or longer
should it appear not perfectly done. AS
none of our receipts have been tried
with large. coarse veal, the cooking
must be regulated by that circumstance,
and longer time allowed should the
meat be of more than middling size.
Dish the joint; skim all the fat fro,n the
gravy, and strain it over the meet; or
keep the joint hot while it is rapidly re-
duced to a richer consistency. This is
merely q plain family stew.
