A NEWFOUNDLAND TRAGEDY.

Isolation of Dwellers on the Fishing
Coast of the Island.
From Ainslee's Magazine.
The lack of physicians is one Of the hor-
rors of the isolation in which the New
foundlanders of this coast live. There is
none within fifty miles of most harbors-
none within reaching distance of many.
1t is related of well-to-do fisherman. who

wife. whom he fondly loved, lay in agony

coast, for there was no possibility that he
who ventured could survive. On the fourth
day the wind moderated Two men volun-
teered to accompany Allerton. They set
sail in the first hours of a snowstorm,
which abated, however before they reached
their destination. Fighting doggedy, they
took the boat safely in. after indescribable
hardship and through ever-present dan

knocked on the physicians door. A heavy

fifty to one hundred bushels an acre now

The cause of the trouble is careless farm
ing-neglect to fertilize the soil, and lack of
rotation of crops. Virginia, however, still
has an annual output of something like
100000 bushels; Tennessee and North
Carolina come next.
The finest peanuts in the world come from
Virginia, and in that state is the greatest

make a fifth in the list Of plants of great

Criticism of w. w. Astor.
Mr.. Waldorf Astor's Christmas gift of
10000 to the National Rifle Association
Of England has reused the Ire of the Free
mans Journal, that model of an "illigant
Oirish paper" I quote the following from
its chaste columns:
The ten thousand pounds furnished by Mr..
w. W. Aston, the recently Anglicised Yam
kee, to the English Rifle Club, seems a
fair sum to bid for title. The approach
OF the coronation, and the announcement
that the Goldfish" aristocracy of New York
and Newport are barred out as aliens with
no prescrtptfve rights, are no doubt incen-
tives to the greatgrandson of the old Dutch
peddler to hurry up with his particular vo-
tive Offering on the altar Of snobracy. The
action of Aston Is particularly characters
tic In view of the fact that the very race
that ne has sprung from Is making a gal
liant struggle just now against the people
that Aston has linked himself with. The
old Dutch Knickerbocker families of New
york are proud of their old Holland stock,
but they do not value highly the Astors
who made their appearance at compare
lively recent period in the history of the
old Dutch settlement. Perhaps this is one
Of the reasons which tempted Astor to
seek the shores of Albion.
Fortunes for Mule Dealers.
I hear that most of the mule dealers in
Spain and Italy are retiring on substantial
fortunes. They are happily able to do SO
owing to the extravagantly high prices paid
for their wares on behalf Of the British
army in South Africa, the purchasers having
been. as rule, officers who knew precious
little about the business. 1t is the usual
way with the war Office. An item of some
what similar character reaches me in
private letter from South Africa. 1t ap-
pears that in the earlier part of the war
contract was entered into with somebody
for supplying the troops in the field with
meat at eleven pence per pound all round.
Having had time to look at details
little, Lord Kitchener struck against that
a few months ago, and the contract price
now Is eight pence. But the contractor
manages not to suffer too seriously. We
often hear of cases in which British col
umns capture thousands of sheep or cattle.
Generally speaking, there is a representa-
tive of the contractor somewhere around
and he buys the captured animals at the
rate Of about five shillings per head for
sheep and one pound per head for cattle.

VALUE OF RAPID FIRE.
One of the Lessons Learned in the
War With Spain.

"ar spaih
Commander r. Wainwright. In the United Service.
There are many lessons, some Of them
new, more of them old. to be learned from
the Spanish war Throughout history ves-
sells have been destroyed by fire during sea
fights. In the battle of Navarino the shell
guns of the allies set on fire and destroyed
many of the Egyptian ships. When iron
and steel vessels came into fashion much
woodwork was retained. There were many
protests and some diminution in the guam
tity used until at the battle off the 1alu,
when the necessity of a further reduction
was greatly emphasized. The sight of the
three armored cruisers burning on the
beach near Santiago was sufficient to move
the most conservative.
The value of rapid fire has long been
known. In the earlier stages, when ballis-
tics were a mystery accurate aim was not
of great consequence, as most effective
work had to be at very short ranges, at
nearly point blank. and frequently with
yardarms interlocked. With more improved
guns and ammunition, accuracy as well as
rapidity had to be attempted. Collingwood
was justly noted for the thorough r..anner
in which he trained his crews in all gum
merry exercises. In our navy of late years
much care and attention has been devoted
toward developing accurate and rapid FIR
Ing. Many have wondered at the immunity
OF our fleets in both of the battles of Ma
Mia and Santiago. 1t was largely due to
the accurate and rapid fire Of our ships.
A hail Of projectiles was poured upon the
enemy, and before they could develop their
fire their batteries were partially disabled
and the nerves of their gunners were thor
oughly shaken.
In connection with rapid and accurate
firing. smokeless powder becomes OF value
Its advantages were fully illustrated In the
war. For many times when otherwise our
guns might have been fired with effect tive
enemy was obscured by the smoke of our
own guns. Probably many OF the COM
plants brought against turret guns were
due to the difficulty Of laying the guns on
the enemy because Of the smoke.
