Another Case OF Speed Madness.

After the frightful experience OF
the Missouri i, is probable that the
hradlong race for rapidity of fire
in our navy will be moderated. For
years comparisons have been made
between the nun bers of rounds fired
by British and American ships in
given number of minutes, much 10
the disadvantage Of the American
batteries. Naturally our gunners
have smart d under the reflection
upon the quality OF their weapons
or their own ale, tness, and they
have made some worlds records in
quick frilg with heavy guns.
1t appears now that the pace has
been too hot for safety. The guns
have been reloaded without waiting
for them to be properly clean ID and
cooled. Or course there Is no dam
yer with the smaller guns which
use metal cartridge>cases, but the
larger ones, in which the powder is
rammcd behind the shells in canvas
bags, offer every chance for an ex.
plosiou.
In view of the facts that the only
shots that count are those that hit,
and that here are likely to be quite
as many hits out of our shots fired
in three minutes as out of six fired
in the same time, 1t is probable that
for some time TO come more atten.
ton will be paid to accuracy and
safety in handling the twelve-iDch
guns of our baltleships than to ex-
cessive speed New York World.

that the addition TO its population

fear any political disturbances in
the south because Of the settlement
in this section of northern colonies
composed of such people. We do
not care what their politics is, and
how much they may have been mis-
taken in their previous judgments
of the south and its civilization; wei
know that they are assimIlaole, and
that they will he moved in all their

The Coming o. Northern Farmers.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post, writes from Jackson,
Miss, telling of the invasion of the
south by Industrious northern farm.
ers seeking homes in the agricul.
tural districts, and nearly all Of
whom are the heads of families.
The correspondent says this move
ment began with the establishment
of the health resorts along the
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
and was the result Of tue eff,rts Of
far sighted northern capitalists who
in the early Sos coming south to
spend the winter were attracted by
the vast stretches Of uncultivated
and finely timbered lands and pur-
chased large tracts OF it feeling con.
6dent that the fertility of il and the
delightful climate would IN time
bring most desirable and thrifty
population from the northern states.
The farmers from the north who
have settled on these lan0s have
prospcred so well that they now
have comfortable homes, and the
Posts correspondent thinks that
'the railroads, refrigerator cars and
early strawberries and asparagus
have done more TO render the bloody
shirt Innocuous than the Spanish
American war itself"

can sees the good that will result
from this class of immigration into
the south and says: ave do not
know of any more encouraging sign
than this quiet business movement
viii sh is drawing south ard just
the right kind of northern settlers,
because of The character of the set.
tiers, the character of their business
and the places where they settle out
in the open country. The real valne
of such a movement as this is that
1t is unobscured ny any political
sentiment. 1t must therefore fur
ther the mutual understanding and
harmony of the two sections, be-
cause it appeals to the one great
motive that IN this particular age
brings rival interests together-the
motive of mutual advantage.
No one is better pleased with the
success of the northern settlers in
the south than the southern people
themselves. because they know that
it means much for their section,
hence they desire that it should be
generally known that the northern
farmers are rrospering among them
Il, cause this knowledge will greatly
increa-c the tide OF immigration.

serve his sphinx like silence and
cannot be induced to say anything

reason lis nomination might patch
up the faclional differences in the
party and make Democratic success
probable, but this studied and abso-
lute refusal to give the public an

Legislative Sin OF 0mmlsslon.

A legislative blunder which is
going to operate against the en-
iorcement of the oyster laws of the
state has been brought to light by
the refusal of the state treasurer to
cash warrants drawn on the oyster
commission. The "B jwers" law
provides that all revenues derived
nn Ter that act shall go into the state
treasury and it takes an approprla.
tlon to get the money Leeded for
expense of its opera tion. The
legislature adjourned does not con-
vene again for nearly two years and
if the inspectors aud others employ
ed by the oyster commission feel
that they need money for their SER
vices they will have to wait two
years TO get it from the state. The
law makes it obligatory on me
legislature to make al appropri. {.
ton for carrying out its provisions
every two years-there is no su ii
thing in this state as perpetual
appropriateness the salaries of
thpse mon and the ex,,ensa for
planting oyster shells are sure to be
paid in the process OF time, but the
failuae of the legislature to make
the appropriation will make it nec-
essary for those employed by the
commission to either wait two years
tor their money or to hypotnecate
their warrants at a loss of s or 10
per cent per annum.-Biloxi Herald.

Best Way to Cook Prunss.

Few persons really know how to
cook prunes. Yet If properly cook
I'd they are delicious as well as much
to be desired on the ground Of
health. The latest and most approx
Cd method is to select the best
prunes the market affords. Wash
carefully, then cover with cold wa
ter and let -tand overnight. In the
morning place both prunes and the
water in which they have been soak
ing in porcelain or granite stew
pan and stand on the side of the
range. Let them heat slowly and
simmer gently until the fruit is per-
fsctly tender. Then add one table
spoonful of sugar for each pound
and let them stew slowly for five
minutes longer. Remove from the
Gre and cool.
Another method calls for the
same process, except that the sugar
= omitted. This method is prefer
rsd by some people. But whether
sveetening be added the long soak
ing and slow cooking will mean q
delicious result. Serve with sweet
cream.
