' I and the range attained was twelve miles: Now, if it be really possible, three : times out of four, or for that matter once out of four times, to throw a nine inch shell upon the deck of a ship in midchannel between Dover and Calais, another proof wi(l have been given that i in the tedious duel between gun and armor the gun has much the best of it. What is very important, too, is that the heavy charges and the high angle did not strain either gun or carnage in the least, and one Os the offlcel's present has ! said that he believed the gun would stand 45 degs. of elevation without in jury, while with 42 degs. a range of ; 'fifteen miles would be secured. Now, at I fifteen miles, a ship is “hull down,” so it I comes to this, that we can throw a nine ' inch shell on to the deck of a ship before ' we can see it!

Some ludicrous stories are told about adventures with tho musquitocs. 1 have been solemnly assured that very often when they have attacked a boat and driven Its captain and crew below : they have broken tho windows of the cabin by plunging in swarms against j them and have attempted to burst in the doors. Although this may be something of an exaggeration, it is nevertheless ' true that frequently horses and cattle, I after the most frightful sufferings, have died from musquito bites on board the I vessels. Not long ago A herd of Val uable cattle were being taken from the United States to a ranch upon the Mag dalena river and became so desperate under the attacks of the musquitoes that they broke from their stalls, jumped into the water and all were drowned.

How the Paraguayans Fought. ■ Il was not alone the Paraguayan men ' and boys who had to bear arms in that struggle. “Food for powder” of that kind was soon exhausted. Then came the women’s turn to fight, and, indeed, from an early period of the war, mothers, wives and sweethearts had donned the soldier’s uniform and fought bravely in the ranks with those they loved. After a certain battle, when the bury ing parties were busily pursuing their grim work, they camo upon this bodies of two loving companions in arms, I clasped in a last embrace. The head of one rested on the other's breast, while an arm was closely drawn round him, tho disengaged hand being raised to stanch the life blood flowing from a cruel gash. They looked like two true comrades whose friendship death : itself had not been able to sever. That, however, was not ail their his , tory. A wotihded mother, in a soldier's : guise, had dragged herself to the spot where her son lay bleeding, and there, regardless of her own fatal injuries, bad . placed Ids head upon her breast, and J tried to soothe his last living moments, j as sbo had done his first on earth.—Win ! throp's “Reminiscences.” Evolution of the Colored Race. I The negro is changing in appearance i and losing some of the birthmarks pecul j iar to the African race. The new gen ; eration is showing the effects of a higher i culture. Especially is this noticeable in ; the towns where contact with the whites . shows its effect. The flat nosed, kinky | headed negro is passing away and be ' coming an unknown race; All tho col i ored children, ho matter how dusky in 1 hue, show the change. Among the : females, long hair of that peculiar woolly ; appearance, hangs in long braids or curls I down their backs. Aquiline noses and ' smaller mouths with thinner lips are the rule. For years, and in fact ever since ! their freedom, the negresses have en deavored to do away with the short kinky hair bestowed upon them by their ances tors. Much of their spare change is in vested in various tonics and invigorators, anil Hie long attention and care bestowed ! upon it is shown in their descendants, j The South Georgia negro is an evidence ; of evolution, the survival of the fittest.— j ; Atlanta Constitution.

The latter dissolves in the oil, and the liquid on cooling forms i a mass having the appearance of cement and the hardness of compact tallow.

Pink teas are more fashionable than green teas, but are less common. A breakfast salad recommended for this time of year consists of lettuce hearts and new tomatoes. Without cold veal many a caterer would bo much puzzled to know how to make chicken salad. Dry toast and jnarmalado and a cilp or English breakfast tea is the Anglomaniac’s first meal of the day. Tho eating of oranges, grapes, asparagus and lettuce in public often tells what kind of man or woman you are. A Florida town has sent a petrified ham to tho Sub-Tropical exposition, and all tho rail road restaurants have an eye on it. An antiquated egg will never poach, but can be utilized in any kind of an omelette, a fact that residents of hotels ascertained years and years ago. There is a remarkable consumption of wed ding cake now going on in the land, and a corresponding amount of nightmare and royal family dreams. An authority says we should never eat when we are angry or even ill humored, un less we wish indigestion and dyspepsia all in one. Amiability should go with every meal. ' One who has had experience rises to to : mark that veal is a very good thing in the i abstrac’ but excessively dangerous in the superfluity. Look not upon the veal when it i i is “bobbed.” A New York lady who recently gave a ball is said to have hired a perambulatOry ’ coffee and cake vender to take his stand in the street and distribute, at her cost, cukes, I coffee and chocolate to the hack drivers and to all others waiting on her invited guests.

With proper training Catcher Bushong hopes to make a fine pitcher out of Hughes, of the Brooklyns. Mike Kelly’s batting average is now a llttlo over .500. This is considerably more than any other man in the League. Manager John Kelly, of the Louisvi’les, has engaged the baseball grounds at tho Hot Springs next season, and will organize a team of twenty players for games there next spring. Some of the Southern league players worked on the management to let the reserve privilege go by default. They wanted to be left free to skip out at the end of the season. The Southern league, however, is paying as big salaries as any other, and it would be folly to carry expensive teams this sea-son without the reserve privilege. BURDETTE’S PHILOSOPHY.
