If salted meats need freshening, let it be previously done with cold water and frequent changing of it.

Sot into the fop of this pot a pan containing cold prater. Have this pan fit the pot closely. li the water in this pan gets boiling hot, lip it out and add cold water from time lp time. Boil the meat until it gets tender. The steam and flavor of the meat rill be condensed on the bottom of the Mm containing the water, and drop back n the pot and [be retained.

Is Now Gunner on Deck?The Independence and the Baltimore. fHERE has been a great change in the laws of marine warfare which necessitates a charge in naval construction, maneuvering, gunnery, navigation and even seamanship, and here, says a correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, writing from Mare Island Navy Yard, California, were fair samples of the veteran and the newly born ideas of defense and offense on water. All the old vessels of the navy are sailing vessels with steam additional. It was customary to steam into and out of harbor but to depend entirely on sails as mntnp nriirop when nn t.hp. hirrh fie&S. mu"" r"""* ?? ? ? ?o The required crew were seamen?men versed in knotting and splicing ropes, bending, setting, reefing and furling sails, pulling oars and handling tar pots. Unless one of these ships was thus manned she was not up to the standard. When one of these ships entered an engagement it was necessary "to clear ship for action," which means to tend down on [ deck all the yards, spars and ruuning gear that can be detached which necessarily encumbered every one and every TOTTED 8TATB8 8TKJ spare particle of space. True, the ship could be cleared until nothing but her lower masts were standing, and done in a miraculously short time but it consumed time and energy and belabered the crew with what a soldier would call impedimenta. Handling the ship was considered the drill with a capital "D." The use of rifles, revolvers and sabers was taught but as a secondary drill. The top-men were under contral, while in the rigging of the captain, of the foremast, of the main-mast and of the mizzen-mast, and there were many subdivisions which seem foolish to us, but upon which great stress was laid. What was the armament of these vessels? Anywhere from twenty to one hundred guns, all of them of the same old style, ranging from four to fifteen inches bore and perfectly smooth. The charge was an ordinary round bombshell, tome loaded, some solid. For them to go eneciuai worn, it was ucccsoaj j kj m close to their enemy and depend on main strength and awkwardness to gain the battle, frequently ending in a hand-tohand combat between the opposing crews. Procuring a pass we went to the ordnance department and looked over the rejected supplies. There were about four hundred rejected pieces of all sizes and makes, and unnumbered piles of shells that accompanied them. These are useless except to remould into the more modern appliances 111 order to cope with the rapidly improving navies of the world. The old navies then amounted to simply this: An ordinary sailing vessel capable of steaming, with a cargo of men, guns and shells capable of making a horrible racket and doing little dam age except, iu muse uuuia^k. Now, let us see the contrast, the outcome of advancing developments in every line of science known to man, afloat or aabore. FROM THE OLD NAVY. The Baltimore is one of the new creations that the United States is proud of. She is the vessel that had so much trouDie inv;niiean waters over wuicu war seemed inevitable. One of this class of vessels is simply a floating machine shop; everything is reduced to mechanics and mechanical theories. First, her motive is steam alone, but of so compound a construction that if one set of machinery is disabled either in engagement or by accident, she can still forge ahead independent of the loss by working an entirely different set of machinery. It is the strongest picture of helplessness to say "as helpless as a ship without a rudder." These vessels are not so, for if the rudder carries away the ship can be steered by her same propelling machinery. The neignt o: periectiou is auainea in mis branch with a speed of twenty-two knots, or over twenty-live land miles,more than the average rate of speed of locomotives. A few small sails are sometimes carried, but not with an idea of motor power. The contrast of fighting material is greater even than the mode of travel. On one of these vessel to carry eight guns is; to be heavily armed. They are made of the very finest possible material, and subjected to the severest test9, then placed aboard with a life of about one hundred and fifty shots. Wtoy so few? Because the strain is greater than the strength of material can resist, and be ;' ' '/ ' ;'i it '-'L - > ' ' . *. !- 1 : i/w.-.'i'viiVi'- 3... .. - ' V *v )V cause one shot, if properly used., is sufficient to sink its opponent. The range of these wflesis from ten to twelve miles, and do satisfactory execution. Imagine one of them placed at Chattahoochee River, where the Western and Atlantic Railroad crosses, and throwing a shell to East Point, on the Central Railroad, and piercing a solid wall of steel ten inches thick at East Point. That is the possibility of one of these rifles. Firing them from both sides a distance of twenty-four miles is covered, or almost the distance from East Point to Norcross, on the Richmond and Danville railroad. A vessel twelve miles off, however, is entirely out of eight, except her spars, or as the nautical term is, hull down. The fact that she is not visible owing to the curvature of the earth, does not detract frrtm thfi rhftnra of reaching auj VUlUg ^ her with a shell, however. Again, ooe of these vessels can lay out at sea and bombard a city and blow it to atoms before a defense can be mustered. These guns are bo shipped that they can be worked either by hand or steam. They carry, of course, small arms of all kinds, and the very latest improvements, in addition to small mounted pieces for repelling torpedo boats and boarding parties, and it would be decidedly unhealthy for a party to attempt to board one of these palaces of death and destruction. Provisions are made for defending themselves against being approached by night. The entire ship is lighted by electricity and furnished with 4'search lights." These are reflectors shaped 1M ~ 1 lli?U*. .aAWam r\f q lnnnmn. | use toe lieauugubicuckkuio v? ? ? tive and an electric jet of over fifteen I thousand candle power which can be throwL in any direction chosen, bo that it is impossible for any kind of vessel or LJfSHIP BALTIMORE. boat to approach them unobserved. To see them throw a column of light into the air on a dark night looks like an immense tail of a comet about to swoop on you. You can imagine the kind of crew that is necessary to man one of these modern men-of-war. It consists of electricians, machinists, engineers, firemen and soldiers (?). No, they are neither 3ailors nor soldiers, but a happy blending of both. There is enough of the Jack Tar left to make them a little "salty," and not quite enough soldier to make them the typical 4 'stand up straight with head and eyes to the front." 8-INCH RIFLE OP THE BALTUiORl. Their drill is vei y similar to the tactics of shore drill with sabie, rifle and revolver, and the field movements just the same. Exercises are gone through with every day in the week except Saturday and Sunday, and most of the crew are very proficient in the manual of arms. The "great gun drill" is very interesting, but decidedly narn wonr. r<Bca gun uus a captain, chosen from the men, who has charge of the necessary crew for the gun, usually about seventeen men. Each man is numbered and stationed just as in ordinary artillery drill. There is an officer at the masthead, who, with a sextant determines the distance the object to be fiied at is away. He gives the necessary angle of elevation, which is passed to the captain of the piece. He superintends the charging of the piece, and is totally responsible for every imperfection, sights the piece at the proper elevation, and fires. These captains are chosen for proficiency in gunnery. The improvements in guns during the last ten years amount to a complete revolution, the effort being to increase the power of the gun, and the rapidity of tire. The one-hundred-and-ten-ton gun 6eems to be the maximum in weight, but it is believed to be too great. The sixtyton gun, thirteen-inch bore, with projectile .weighing 1200 pounds, having a velocity of 2000 feet per second, Beems to be the ideal gun for our big white cruisers. Improvements are being made all the time in machinery for handling these large pieces of ordnance. In the new navj electricity, steam, hydraulic and pneumatic power, and even the recoil of the piece when it is fired, are all used in the handling and loading of our monster weapons. When a ship is in an engagement she generally steams rapidly around the enemy, avoiding getting broadside on as much as possible, unless for a moment to send a broadside volley. \ There are now under construction at the Union Iron Works, at San Francisco, 1 three of these modern vessels?the battle ship Oregon, Cruiser No. 6 and the harbor defense monitor, Monterey. At Mare Island navy yard the sea-going monitor Monadawock is almost completed. All of these are to be armed with the very latest heavy rifles and other modern improvements. ?? i Slippers are Insidious. The ordinury slipper for houseweur is a cold breeder. The air on the floor i6 i generally several degrees colder than above, and, passing through the instep too rapidly, chills the foot just taken from the warm shoe, or, perhaps, from the still warmer bed. The so-called Romeo, or toilet slipper, is much to be preferred. Warm, dry feet add greatly to one's comfort and happiness, and attention to these details will prevent many a head cold.?New York Times. ; Chestnut culture is recommended is Pennsylvania. . ... % ".\i .'

A few weeks ago an article appeared in this paper copied from the Albany, N.

Miracle," and excited such J widespread comment that another Albany i paper?the Express?detailed a reporter to , make a thorough investigation of the statements appearing in the Journal's article. The facts as elicited by the Express reporter are given in the following article, which appeared in that paper on April 16th, and makes one of the most interesting stories * ever related: J; A few weeks ago there was published in i the Albany Evening Journal the story o( a : most remarkable?indeed so remarkable as ^ to well justify the term "miraculous"?cure ? of a severe case of locomotor ataxia, or t creeping paralysis, simply by the use of I Pink Pills for Pale People, and, in comply- * a nee with instructions, an Express Reporter 1 has been devoting some time in a critical 8 investigation of the real facts of the case. ? The story of the wonderful cure of Charles * A. Quant, of Galway, Saratoga County, f N. Y? as tirst told in the Journal, has been copied into hundreds if not thousands 8 of other daily and weekly newspapers and has created such a sensation throughout the ? entire country that it was deemed a duty ? due all the DeoDle. and especially the thou- _ sands of similarly afflicted, that the state- L ments of the case as made in the Albany Journal, and copied into so many other newspapers should, if true, be verified; or, if false, exposed as an imposition upon public credulity. The result of the Express reporter's investigations authorizes him in saying that the story of Charles A. Quant's cure of locomotor ataxia by the use of Pinlc Pills for Pale People, a popular remedy prepared and put up by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Morristown, N. Y., and Brockville, Ontario, IS TRUE, ana that all its statements are not only justified but verified by the fuller development of the further facta of the case. * Perhaps the readers of the Express are not all of them fully familiar with the details of this miraculous restoration to health of a man who after weeks and months of treatment by the most skillful doctors in two of the best hospitals in the State of New York?the Roosevelt Hospital in New York City and St. Peter's Hospital in Albany? was dismissed from each "as incurable and, because the case was deemed incurable, the man was denied admission into several others to which application was made in his behalf. The 6tory as told by Mr. Quant him self and published in the AJDany journal, is * as follows: ".My name is Charles A Quant; I am 37 ^ years old; I was born in tbe Tillage of Gal* way and excepting while traveling on business and a little while in Amsterdam, hare spent my whole life here. Up to about eight years ago I had never beeh sick and was then in perfect health. 1 was fully tlx feet tall, weighed 180 pounds and was very strong. For 12 years was traveling salesman for a piano and organ company, and had to do, or at least did do, a great deal of heavy lit ting, got my meals very irregularly and slept in enough 'spare beds' in oountry houses to freeze an ordinary man to death, or at least give him the rheumatism. About eight years ago 1 began to feel distress in my stomach, and consulted several doctors about it. They all said it was dyspepsia, and for dyspepsia I was treated by various doctors in different places, anu took all the patent medicines I could hear of that claime J to be a cure for dyspepsia. But 1 continued to grow gradually worse for four years. Then I began to have pain in my back and legs and became conscious that ray legs were getting weak and my step unsteady, and then I staggered when I walked. Having received no benefit from the use of patent medicines. and feeling that I was constantly growing v worse, 1 then, upon advice, began the use of I electric belts, paas and all the many different kinds of electric appliances 1 could hear of, T and spent hundreds of dollars lor them, but 1 they did me no good. (Here Mr. Quant showed the Journal reporter an electric suit I of underwear, for which he paid $124.) In S the fall of 1888 the doctors aavised a cjange i of climate, so I went to Atlanta, Ga? and J acted as agent for the Estey Organ Com- c pany. W hile there I took a thorough elee- " uric treatment, but it only s?emed to aggravate my disease, and the only relief I could J get from the sharp and distreesing pains was J* to take morphine. The pain was so in- I1 tense at times that it seemed as though I could sot stand it, and I almost longed for 8 death as the only certain relief. In Septem- 11 ber of 1888 my legs gave out entirely and my c left eye was drawn to one side, so that I had a double sight and was dizzy. My trouble so ? affected my whole nervous Rystem that I ? bad to give up business. Then I returned to ^ New York and went to the Roosevelt Has- ? pitai, where for four months X was treated f* by specialists and they pronounced my case locomotor ataxia and incurable. After I 81 had been under treatment by Prof. Starr and Dr. Ware for four months, they told me J* they had done all they could for me. Then I went to the New York Hospital on Fif- ? leenia street, wnere, upon truuiiuaviui^iue^ said I was incurable and would not take me in. At the Presbyterian Hospital they ex- J amiued me and told me the same thing. In d March, 1890, I was taken to St. Peter's Hos- n pital in Albany, where Prof. H. H. Hun fipnkly told my wife my case was hopeless; " that he could do nothing for me and that she 11 had better take me back home and sare my money. But I wanted to make a trial of P1 Prof. Hun's famous skill and I remained P' under his treatment for nine weeks, but se- u cured no benefit. All this time I had been " growing worse. I had become entirely & paralyzed from my waist down and had ?e partly lost control of my hands. The pain lB was terrible; my legs felt as though they a were freezing and my stomach would not retain food, and i fell away to 120 pounds. In the Albany Hospital they put seventeen P1 big burns on my back one day with red hot 9? irons,and after a few days they put fourteen *r more burns on and treated me with electricity, but I got worse rather than better; lost control of my bowels and water, and, * upon advice of the doctor, who said "Y there was no hope for me, I was brought tu home, where it was thought that death would "1 soon come to relieve me of my sufferings. Last (September, while in this helpless and suffering condition, a friend of mine in *r Hamilton, Ont., called my attention to the w statement of one John Marshall, whose case had been similar to my own. and who had been cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. In this case Mr. Marshall, who is a prominent member of the Royal Templars of Temperance, had, after ^ four years of constant treatment by the "c most eminent Canadian physicians, been pronounced incurable, and paid the 11000 total disability claim allowed by the order in 11 such cases. Home months atter Mr. Mar u 1 shall began a course of treatment with Dr. P? Williams' Pink Pills, And after taking some m 15 boxes was lully restored to health. 1 thought I would try them, and my wife sent for two boxes of the pills, and I took them >a accor ling to the directions on the wrapper ci each box. For the first few days the ^ cold baths were pretty severe as I was so . ? i- T trv /aIIaw in- I '? very wen a, uut x tuubmuDu w ?vMv? .M structions as to taking the pills and the b] treatment, and even before 1 aad used up the two boxes of the pills i began to leei beneficial results from them. My pains were .. not bo bad. I felt warmer: my head felt " better; my food began to relish and agree irr with me; I could straighten up; the feeling mi began to come back into my iirnbs; I began to be able to get about on crutches; su my eye came bacn again as goo 1 as ever, ? and now, alter the use of eight boxes of thi <r pills, at u costof only $4.00? see!?Icau with *3 the help of a cane only, walk all about the ^ bouse and yard, can saw wood, and on pleas- (f ant days 1 walk down town.

Such is the won ierful story which the Express reporter liai succeeJed in securing ver ideation of in all its details, from the hos pital records where Mr. Quant was treated B and from the doctors who had the case in % band and who pronounced him incurable.

In order hat our reporter might get a copy of the tistory of the case of Mr. Quant from the lospltal record he very courteously gave him i letter of which the following is a copy:? Dr. M. A. Starr, 22 west Forty-eignw treet, office hours, 9 to 12 a. m.. New York, larch 31st, 189 i.?

These are the marked symptoms of a evere case of locomotor ataxia. "And Dr. 3tarr said a case with such marked syrnpoms could not be cured and Quant, who was eceiving treatment in the out-patient department, was given up as incurable." "There never was a case recovered in the rorldL" said Dr. Starr. And then said: 'Dr. Ware can tell you more about the oase is Quant was under his more personal treatnent. I am surprised, he nid "that the nan is alive, as 1 thought he must be dead oag ago." Our reporter found Dr. Edward Ware at lis office, No. 162 West Ninety-third street, .few York. He said: "1 have very distinct ecollections of the Quant case. It was a rery pronounced case, l treated him about light montns. This was in the early suinner of 1890. I deemed him incurable, and bought him dead before now. Imagine my urprise when 1 received a letter from him ibout two weeks ago telling me that he was ilive, was getting well and expected soon to >e fully recovered." "What do you think, doctor, was the sauae of his recovery." "That is more than I know. Quant says te hus been taking some sort of pills and that hey Lave cured him. At all events, I am jlad the poor fellow is getting well, for his vas a bad case and he was a great sufferer." Dr. Theodore R. Tuttle, of 819 West Eighteenth street, to whom our reporter is ndebtei for assisting courtesies, said of ocomotor ataxia: * "I have had several ases of this disease in the course of my >ractice. I will not say that it is incurable, >ut 1 never knew of a case to get well; but I rill say it is not deemed curable by any emedies known to the medical profession.' After this successful and confirmatory in-estigation in New York, our reporter, intiirYiirv AnHi '2H 1892. visited St. Peter's I JoepitaJ, in Albany, corner of Albany and rerry streets. He had a courteous reception iy Sister Mary Philomena, the sister uperior of St. Peter's Hospital, and when old of the object of bis visit, said she rememiered the case of poor Mr. Quant very disinctly. Said she: "It was a very distressog case and excited my sympathies much, 'oor fellow, he couldn't be curedand-had to o borne in a terrible condition of helplessness and suffering." The house physician,on onsulting the recordsof St. Peter's Hospital, aid ha found only that Charles A Quant ntered the Hospital March 14th, 1890, was reated l?y Dr. Henry Hun, assisted by Dr. ran D?rveer, who was then, 1890, at the ead ot the hospital, and that bis case being eemed not possible of cure, he left the ospital and was taken to his home, as he jpposed to die.
